Chapter 724: Side Story: Phoenix in the West
A figure sat alone in a circular cultivation chamber. The room was lined with gray stone and there were several pillars aligned with the four cardinal directions. Every once in a while, streaks of purple flame would erupt from the person’s palms. These flames lit up the room as they engulfed the pillars.
After a long time, the purple fire that contained mysterious powers as well as a profound aura eventually extinguished. The stone pillars, which sported some scorch marks, were undamaged. The material proved its wonderous resistance to even immortal flames.
“Ay… I can’t seem to concentrate today.” Immortal Phoenix Legend Shi Shi sighed and contemplated on her state of mind.
She blamed it on that person and his wild actions. Ever since she had heard that Ten Thousand Flower Valley was seeking an alliance with the eagle faction of Beast God Sanctum, she had been unable to stop thinking about him. She had no idea what he was doing. But surely it was nothing good. Nothing he did was ever good.
She blushed as she recalled the memory and then cursed to herself.
Shi Shi got up and left the cultivation chamber.
“Sect master.”
“Sect master.”
She waved as she passed by the disciples who managed the cave. They were senior disciples, they had to be in order to be let into the inner mountains and especially the area used for immortal cultivation. She eventually reached the entrance where there was an elder standing guard along with a squad of elites.
“Sect master!”“Pass the word, the sect master has emerged!”
“Yes, elder!”
She glanced at the group and waved for them to get up. “Elder Gu?”
The one named Elder Gu clasped his hands together and spoke, “Reporting to the sect master, there are no urgent issues at hand. There have been no incidents with people from Western Wumu. The weapon department requests an audience to present you with a new flame sword design. The management division requests an audience to go over next year’s finances. They say that the sect will be running a deficit again if we don’t make any changes. The medicine department reports that they are running out of key ingredients and request the sect master’s assistance.”
Shishi wanted to throw up or hit something. There were so many problems, constantly. Being the sect master felt like the worst job in the world.
“Tomorrow, I’ll deal with those things tomorrow.”
“But…”
She gave Elder Gu a glare which shut him up, “What about the east, the thing I told you to monitor?”
“Reporting to the sect master, there have been no major incidents. However, the disciples of Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian have been causing far more trouble than expected. It doesn’t bode well for the potential alliance if he cannot keep his disciples from misbehaving.”
She snorted. It was probably all within his plans. She didn’t know too much about him. They had interacted only briefly. But he left the impression of a crafty fox, a slippery snake. The way he had been able to escape from the demon trap left a deep impression on her.
“Oh, there is one more matter.” Elder Gu said, “You received a gift.”
“A gift?”
“From Ten Thousand Flower Valley it seems. It contained a certain level of immortal aura so we dared not touch it. We left it at the gatehouse outside the sect.”
“Fine, I’ll get it. There’s nothing else, don’t bother me for the rest of the day.”
“Yes, sect master!”
With a puff of purple flames, Shi Shi took to the skies. Through the clouds, she soared over the vast mountain range that encompassed the Legendary Fighter League. The land was rich in spiritual energy which poured out of every mountain.
It was just enough to sustain the large sect with a population in the hundreds of thousands. Each mountain peak was home to a faction, a department, or an elder. Although mountains seemed endless, it was in fact not enough to satisfy the sect’s unending appetite.
Shi Shi landed at the main gate which was one of many. The disciples there were excited to see her. It was rare for the low ranks to see the sect master even once a year. She didn’t mistreat them, just treated them like air. She picked up the small package and left as quickly as she came.
She wondered what was inside. It didn’t actually contain an immortal aura but something different. It was merely at the mortal realm but contained strange attributes that she could not identify. Curious, she quickly returned to her quarters at the top of the sect master’s peak.
Casting aside her outer garments, she put on a comfortable silk gown and sat down at the table with the box. It was made of wood and lacquer. It had a simple clasp and a small lock which opened upon contact with her spiritual energy. Inside was a single object made of pink jade.
It was long and cylindrical. There were wiggly patterns along the entire length as well as a bulbous head. She recognized it almost immediately.
“Pervert!” She blurted and blasted the table into pieces along with the box.
However, the object was protected by a bubble of spiritual energy that suddenly appeared.
“Don’t be angry,” His voice came from the bubble, filled with amusement, “It is an exact replica as you no doubt have realized already. Something to remember me by until the next time we meet. If you still want to destroy it, that’s fine. I have only put one layer of protection on it. However, you’ll find it interesting that I didn’t make it. It’s actually hand-crafted by my first disciple. You’ll find that it can provide you with some special benefits. See you when I see you.”
With that, his voice was gone along with the bubble around the dildo. It fell down and was about to shatter against the floor. She caught it at the last moment with her spiritual energy and pulled it into her hand.
She stroked its entire length, remembering the exact shape and dimensions of the real thing she had held in her hands not too long ago. She didn’t know what to think. She wasn’t an overly sexual person, at least not since she lost her Dao companion. She had locked away that part of her for a long time. But ever since she slept with him, memories of those joyful, passionate days started to come back even when she didn’t want to remember.
In a flash, she fell onto the bed. Leaning against a pile of soft pillows, she subconsciously opened her legs as she continued to stroke the instrument. It was really well made. The pink jade material was precious and contained a faint aura of flames. And there was still that strange aura she couldn’t quite grasp.
She felt a sudden heat between her legs.
She was aroused?
Her free hand started to drift downward as the other still held tightly onto his shaft. It started to move tantalizingly slowly toward her mouth. She licked her lips as if imagining the real thing that she had feasted on that night.
His face appeared in her mind. His stupid, grinning face was only moderately good-looking. Her Brother Chen was far more handsome. But this Chen Wentian was very young, she couldn’t quite grasp his real age but she felt instinctively, through their coupling, that he was hiding so many secrets including the truth of his youth. And this was far more attractive to a female immortal than looks alone.
Her hand caressed her stomach on its way towards the gap between her legs. Her mouth opened wide as if to accept his member and taste it. Her thoughts became muddled, lost between passionate moments from the past and that recent, unforgettable night.
But at the last moment, before she crossed over the edge and took the plunge, she cleared her mind with a burst of purple flames.
“Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.” She muttered and stuffed the offending item beneath her pillow.
She rolled over and stared at the empty ceiling for a long time to calm her heart.
“If you want to fuck me… you will have to come and do it in person…”
