Sheng Tian had a dream that night. On a dark and cold night, he was lying on the ground, with something warm and yet forming a pool under his chest.Dragging his lazy body, he looked at it and realised that the liquid was bright red, coming from his chest.
He realised that he was dying and the last of his strength was leaving his body.
He resisted the sleepy feeling taking over his body. At that time, he heard some weak breaths getting weaker by the second.
Looking ahead, he saw a young woman with a great body lying on a puddle of blood. She was lying on her stomach, her face was not visible. But her s.h.i.+ning silver hair was giving off a dreamy feel.
Sheng Tian"s vision turned hazy as he felt himself falling into the deep abyss of sleep.
*Huff* Sheng Tian jolted out his sleep and sat upright, his back drenched in cold sweat.
The dream he just had turned hazy, but he was never able to forget the feelings he experienced in it.
Sheng Tian immediately started his battle hunts. He started to focus on something else.
The battles continued and his battle experience increased with each fight.
It was almost Sunset.
Sheng Tian was now walking on a narrow gra.s.sland in the middle of the valleys. The beauty of nature was hiding the dangers so well!
Suddenly, Sheng Tian had a feeling….of longing coming from far. The feeling was like a prayer in the dark of the night- lonely, yet full of hope.
It was a hopeless struggle against the inevitable, persistent yet insignificant.
Acceptance of Fate, yet a stubborn wish to defy it hidden deep in the corners of the heart.
It struck a chord in Sheng Tian"s heart. The loneliness in the call resonated with his own.
A hope for companions.h.i.+p, yet the fear of the pain it might bring.
Sheng Tian walked into the direction of a Mountain trailing the "voice".
He killed the profound beasts in the way at a shocking rate, all the while concentrating on the source of that call.
When he finally climbed the mountain and entered a cave, he was blocked from the feeling by a wall.
Sheng Tian didn"t hesitate before he punched the wall at his full strength. Yet the wall didn"t even have a scratch.
The feeling started turning fainter.
Sheng Tian panicked and his emotions got the better of him as he started to punch the wall madly.
The next moment, he stopped what he is doing. His rational self was telling him that there is no need to risk something like this.
Sheng Tian tried to remove his hand to no avail. The punches made a bit of his blood leak on the wall which quickly absorbed it.
Now the wall started sucking out his blood at an alarming rate.
Finally, after Fifteen minutes, a portal pulled him in as he disappeared from the cave.
He opened his eyes with much effort to see where he just landed.
The place looked like art of nature.
Beautiful flowers, a serene, and the vibrant trees, all adding to the vista. One couldn"t help but admire its beauty.
As his gaze s.h.i.+fted, Sheng Tian saw a lake in the centre. In the lake were beautiful snow lotuses looking very elegant and tranquil.
As his sight moved to the centre of the lake, they immediately widened.
A small piece of land is present at the centre of the lake.
There was a Snow Lotus in the centre. It was graceful and serene, pleasing to the eye, soothing the heart. But the shocking thing was the girl around 16 years old on the Lotus.
She was wearing black clothes with pink edges. Though only her body was visible, it was enough to awe Sheng Tian to the core.
Sheng Tian exclaimed mentally that this act is immoral, the girl might be underaged.
But he defended himself saying that she might be an old hag who is practicing some technique to look young.
He walked to the centre.
The girl was in sitting in a lotus position. Her eyelashes trembled but she didn"t open her eyes. It seemed like she noticed his arrival but did not want to bother
The closer he got, the more shocked he got at her beauty.
Her body was that of a devil, alluring to the extreme!
But after reaching a certain distance, Sheng Tian was surprised "She does not have a physical body. G.o.d! This must be her Soul. The h.e.l.l! Who is she and what is she doing here? Is she really a grandma?"
Sheng Tian arrived in front of her.
The girl sensed him standing in front of her, slowly opened her eyes.
Sheng Tian got to see her face for the first time. The words that reached his mouth got stuck.
Illusory Silver hair cascaded down her shoulders all the way to her waist releasing a soft, dreamy l.u.s.tre.
Thin pair of eyebrows curved up on her dreamlike eyes. The Scarlet pupils seem to suck away his very soul. They were like deep abysses, the ones which anyone would willingly jump into.
She had an exquisite nose which seemed to be the finest creation.
Her bright red lips were tender and delicate like an irresistible wine.
The proud chin was like a sculpted jade.
Her skin flawlessly white, like the purest of snow.
And with her slender neck creamy white, she was the epitome of beauty.
Bea…..utiful! Is she really human?… How can such a beautiful maiden exist?" While cursing and praising her at the same time, Sheng Tian thought.
But when he tried to gauge her strength, she gave him a terrifying feeling. It was much higher than the danger given by Meng Xin"s martial uncle!
This put Sheng Tian on guard as he decided to ensure his safety above everything else.
He bowed "Senior, this junior was not aware that this was your seclusion abode. I hope your kind self forgives this ignorant one."
To his words, the girl didn"t react at all.
Seeing this Sheng Tian thought that she might be one of those eccentric people who decided on even more eccentric disciple for themselves. If he didn"t convince her in some way, she would kill him.
Finding an opportunity in the face of danger, he continued "Senior, It must be fate for us to meet. Why don"t I become your disciple? Let me hold onto your mantle and pa.s.s your legacy to the next generations.
I will try my best to let the world remember your name as a Peerless master." He shamelessly proposed without even blinking. The way he said it was as if it was a trivial matter.
Her lips twitched upon hearing his words. She found it funny and ridiculous at the same time, but her expression remained as calm as ever.
But what she didn"t know was even she could not completely see through the nature of his Energy.
She parted her bright red lips and said: " Your death is a consequence regardless of your motive coming here."
Her charming voice was like the fleeting clouds, carrying a dreamy feeling to it.
Sheng Tian controlled himself from doing anything crazy. Her danger level in his mind increased by a few notches.
Sheng Tian felt fearful as he saw things go south " Senior, this junior didn"t do it on purpose as a Senior, could you forgive this ignorant junior? "he pleaded or at least he seemed to.
She responded with a light smile like flowers blooming, totally in contrast to her words " Consequences are a result of actions, not the purpose. " she raised her slender hand to finish him.
Sheng Tian hurriedly said "Senior, I see that you do not have a physical body. If you can let me off the hook, I can help you create a body once I am powerful enough." In the end, he patted his chest in a.s.surance.
Her eyes widened and the hand she raised froze in mid-air. Due to her uniqueness, it is extremely difficult to recognise that she is in her Soul form, even more so at his level. What was even more baffling was the request he put forth!
But she didn"t trust him.
She only found it interesting that he could enter this place and talk to her in such a manner.
Anyways it wouldn"t matter after a few months.
However, the heart is the most mysterious thing to fathom.
Once the sudden thought of giving it a try appeared in her mind, the following thoughts ensued without a bit of effort.
Looking back, he was the first person she came into contact ever since that day.
Maybe it was really destined.
Deciding to give it one last probe, she frowned and asked: "Why should I believe that you will be able to do it?"
Sheng Tian who thought that she would agree directly with some conditions was caught off guard and blurted out
" Of course because I"m the Main Character and I read too many Xian, huh!?. I mean your work will be my Main goal if I leave this place alive." after realising that he slipped out something he shouldn"t, he quickly tried to cover it up and panicked a little.
But he thought that it wouldn"t matter because people here didn"t know what it meant anyway.
Hearing the words Sheng Tian slipped out, the girl"s body trembled. Sheng Tian was nervous to notice that.
But the girl was even more nervous and her mind was thrown into chaos. A thought came to her mind. Even though the possibility seemed nearly non-existent, what he said ensued suspicions in her mind.
She had to clear things up right now, else her she won"t have peace.
She stood up revealing her gorgeous body to Sheng Tian causing him to be dazed for a second.
Below it was the perfect curves of the most beautiful b.r.e.a.s.t.s whose charm that her black dress couldn"t hide. Her waist was so thin and delicate, one might wonder if it would be broken if held tightly.
Under the short dark skirt, a pair of exquisite, slender jade-like legs could be seen, enticing the deepest of desires.
Thankfully, he didn"t try to peek or else the consequences would be too good to bear.
The Woman looked like an Immortal Fairy, exuding a dreamy aura which hid the terrifying danger underneath.
If looks can kill, this woman could slaughter this entire world and the worlds to come.
After he recovered, he sighed in his mind recalling " A beauty"s bed is the Hero"s tomb." People are not stupid but they still die in pursuit of women.
Beauty when reaches a certain level can be more terrifying than poison if used by the right person.
She walked up to him and stood in the arms" distance.
Looking straight into his eyes, she said softly yet in a commanding tone " You will answer the questions honestly."
He could only nod lightly.
After an internal debate, she decided the question.
At the same time, Sheng Tian felt that he needed to be honest because the cultivators at higher realms can detect his lies.
Unless he can control his heartbeat, breath, eyes, facial expression, lying isn"t an option.
Since he didn"t practice any of those, he had no other choice rather than to answer honestly.
He relaxed his mind and felt that he will answer her honestly. He relaxed his stiff body and calmed his mind.
The girl saw that Sheng Tian"s body relaxed from the stiffness and his heartbeat also returned to normal meaning that he was relaxed and ready. So she asked him right away.
"Do you like Harem Novels?"
Sheng Tian was expecting a serious question, the question she threw at him was like a bomb destroying the peace as he laughed out.
The next second, as if struck by a bolt of lighting, his expression turned into one of extreme shock.
And when the girl saw his reactions, her body trembled uncontrollably. She staggered backward before collapsing on her Lotus.
Sheng Tian asked in a tone which carried evident excitement and disbelief along with strands of intimacy "Are you from Earth as well? "
