Chapter 189 Liu Mei Gave The Black-Robed Students Green Hats
Liu Mei gave the Black-Robed Students Green Hats
After Xue Bai left Feng Hai's home, he didn't sightsee or try to socialize with anyone but rather went right back to his own courtyard.
The sun was starting to set, and Xue Bai wanted to cultivate for the night.
So after a few activations of his physique, he got right back to his own courtyard, where, to his confusion, he saw a small crowd gathering up.
Curious, Xue Bai deactivated his physique and returned to the plan of reality to see what was happening. But once he got closer, he realized the group of people outside his courtyard wasn't a peaceful crowd but a raging mob.
"Arrogant woman! Come out now!" The crowd shouted in anger toward Xue Bai's courtyard.
Seeing this, Xue Bai had a faint idea of what was happening, but he was still confused about how the hell Liu Mei managed to get the public's ire so quickly.
There were easily a few hundred people as well. But Xue Bai was only gone for at most 3 hours. Did she go out and beat everyone Black-Robed Student?
However, once Xue Bai took a closer look at the people in the mob surrounding his courtyard, he realized something.
More than half of these people were beaten up!
From swollen eyes to even scorched hair, the people surrounding his house were injured to various degrees.
Some of the worse injured students that Xue Bai could see were not only bald but also had injuries no worse than the ones that Long Zhenyu got earlier in the day.
'What the hell did Liu Mei do? Did she actually go out and beat everyone up?' Xue Bai was floored and beyond confused.
Sadly there was no way to figure out what had happened unless he talked to the eagle herself. So activating his physique once more, he shifted into the void.
While the distance to his courtyard was well within walking distance, and he could've just walked to it, there were way too many people in between Xue Bai and the courtyard itself. And going through that many people who were that angry was definitely a stupid idea.
So rather than embarrassing himself trying to scoot through the mob, Xue Bai dodged them all by using his physique.
After a minute of shuffling through the void, Xue Bai entered his courtyard.
But once he entered, he finally understood why and how Liu Mei gained the aggression of almost every single male in the Academy.
"Liu Mei, what the hell." Xue Bai sighed as he deactivated his physique.
Stunned at his sudden manifestation, Liu Mei, who had been enjoying the massage and feeding of a female Black-Robed Student, almost fell off of the palanquin she had been sitting in.
"Oh, Xue Bai, you scared me." Liu Mei awkwardly laughed as she got out of the palanquin and waved away the women who were serving her fearfully.
"Why are you back so early? I thought you wouldn't return until nightfall."
Xue Bai's expression darkened, and he couldn't help himself from pinching the bridge between his eyebrows.
"First, get all of the girls out." Xue Bai was pushing down a migraine as he spoke those words.
Looking at the few dozen women in his courtyard, all fearfully serving Liu Mei, made him want to strangle the bird. But sadly, she was much stronger than him. And truthfully, even if he did manage to get his hands on her throat, it wouldn't do much.
She was too strong.
Liu Mei was compliant and shooed the women out.
Like they were pardoned from a death sentence, the faces of every woman in the courtyard lit up in thanks. Then after they bowed to Xue Bai in gratitude, every girl in the room ran out as if they were afraid that he would take back the pardon.
"Liu Mei, what the hell?" Xue Bai looked exasperated.
"You've left your cave for less than a week. Have you already fallen into depravity?"
"I wanted some attendants!" Liu Mei shrugged unapologetically.
"But did you have to kidnap every female Black-Robed Student? And you didn't even spare the ones who already had companions. Don't you know cucking a man is worse than killing him?"
To this, Liu Mei blew up in anger.
"I put down my pride as the descendant of a Divine Beast and graciously asked to let me, 'Her Holiness,' borrow their girlfriends. It was their fault that they didn't have any kindness in their hearts. If they were kind and let me borrow their girlfriend for a week or two, I would've compensated them afterward!" Liu Mei complained, seemingly ignoring the many faults within her words.
'Yes, I'm sorry for misunderstanding your actions. You merely wanted all of the geniuses of the Academy to willingly give up their girlfriends and wives for money.'
Xue Bai didn't know how to fix the way his companion's mind worked, so rather than going into an argument that could last days, he gave up.
"Don't do this again, please." Xue Bai sighed in resignation.
"Also, get rid of the mob outside. I'm going to cultivate, and I'd rather not have a raging mob outside my courtyard while I do so." And with a wave of his hand, Xue Bai entered the bedroom leaving Liu Mei to her own devices.
However, just as he closed the door, he remembered something.
"Liu Mei, don't beat them up again. Instead, just release your cultivation base and scare them off. You've done enough damage to their pride today. Another beatdown might just destroy their Dao Hearts."
And it was a good thing that Xue Bai remembered this, as LIu Mei, who was about to fulfill his previous request, was also cracking her knuckles in excitement.
Disappointed, the joy in Liu Mei's eyes faded away. So with dropped shoulders, she flapped her wings and flew into the air. Since she had to get rid of the crowd and couldn't do it by force, Liu Mei, at the very least, wanted to have some flair as she scared them off.
–
Unaware of how much suffering he saved the boys of his Academy from, Xue Bai spent the night cultivating diligently in his new room.
With the Soul Sublimation Golden Lotus and low Heaven-grade Martial Veins, Xue Bai was destined to cultivate at speeds far beyond the standard of the Baishen Plane.
Coupled with the many cultivation resources he had pillaged last week, Xue Bai's cultivation was fast.
In one night, his progress toward the 12th stage of the Bone strengthening realm was more than 20%.
Sadly the 4th stage of Purification Stages, the Purification Stage, couldn't be sped up by any of the natural resources Xue Bai had managed to get.
This, of course, didn't mean that it couldn't be sped up by natural treasures, but rather Xue Bai couldn't do so right now. In order to speed up his cultivation speed during the Purification stage, Xue Bai needed specialized natural treasures that focused on Purificating the Spiritual Qi in a cultivator.
Like Yggradasil that Xue Bai left at home.
However, treasures like this were extremely rare, and even if they were found, noble families treasured them.
A treasure that could purify the Spiritual Qi within a cultivator was even more prized than elemental natural treasures.
While an elemental natural treasure like the Flame Origin Fruit that helped Huo Long finish his 9 nirvana was great, their uses were limited. Usually, they either helped with law comprehension or were used for body tempering purposes.
But a natural treasure that could purify the Spiritual Qi within a cultivator could give the consumer a new lease on life!
That was why in the game Xiao Mo could build such a loyal and powerful force using just Yggdrasil during the game.
A treasure that could purify the Spiritual Qi in a cultivator could not only remove the many impurities that a cultivator either directly or indirectly absorbed during their lifetime, but it also gave the consumer a new chance to break through their realm.
And if a cultivator consumed it when they were at their innate limit, they had even had a chance to break through it, like what happened with Li Huo, Li Ruo, and Xue Feng.
Xue Bai knew this and was slightly disappointed he couldn't speed through the final two stages of his current realm.
However, it was a good thing that Xue Bai didn't speak out his thoughts and emotions as if he had. Xue Bai most likely would've gained the public's anger even quicker than Liu Mei had.
The Purification Stages were the most time-consuming and hard cultivation stages of all.
From extremely sharp senses to fully perfect the realm to needing treasures capable of expunging impurities that stayed in the body, the 5 Purification Stages were a daunting task to any cultivator, talented or not.
This was why Jiang Xiarou was 22 years old yet only in the Dharma Idol Realm, while Wang Yu was 18 and almost at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.
While the rank of their Martial Veins was definitely one of the causes of this, Jiang Xiaorou had her adoptive father/Master Yue Zifeng supplying her with cultivation resources, so those two factored each other out.
Cultivating the Purification Stages had slowed down the speed of Jiang Xiaorou so much that Wang Yu, who was years younger than her, was catching up!
There were two reasons Xue Bai could cultivate the Purification Stages so fast.
One was because his low Heaven-grade Martial Veins only absorbed the purest of the Spiritual Qi from the air and the Soul Sublimation Golden Lotus.
While the other was due to the fact that his soul was as strong as someone four realms above his own cultivation base. So while he couldn't use his powerful soul to extinguish others or mind control like his chuuni inner self wanted to, he could still use it to scan his inner body and scout out the small impurities that lurked inside of him.
If it weren't for those two factors, Xue Bai most likely wouldn't have even been this deep in the Bone Strengthening realm but rather still in the early stages of it.
Xue Bai, however, didn't know how wild his thoughts were, and even if he did, he wouldn't have cared much.
The only thing on his mind was the heavenly treasure in his spatial ring that sat untouched.
Since Xue Bai wasn't in the Organ Tempering yet, it meant that he couldn't use the fruits on the Five Elements Mystic Spirit Tree. And that it would have to sit in his spatial ring for at least another 2 weeks.
Fortunately, the spatial ring he had also had an effect similar to an Essence Sealing Storage Box and would make sure the Five Elements Mystic Spirit Tree never lost its essence and that the fruits they produced stayed ripe and full of essence.
Sighing in slight sadness, Xue Bai stood up from his cross-legged position, stored the Soul Sublimation Golden Lotus in his spatial ring, and left his room.
Outside, Liu Mei lay in the palanquin, which he still didn't know where she got, lazily.
Her bare white feet stretched out in contentment on one end, while on the other, she stuck her head out and looked at the skies above, curiosity filling her eyes.
Sensing his exit, Liu Mei spoke up.
"Hey Xue Bai, though I don't know how you got stuck in this mortal plane, since you are a descendant of the Void Fox Emperor, you must've at least lived in the First Heaven for a few years. So how was life there?" Liu Mei asked.
