Chapter 26: Falling in Love
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
As soon as the Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers began to peddle things, the surrounding clans were interested. They were delighted to find that they could buy Magic Weapons, elixirs and even formation flags from the Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers, for they had cultivation methods then but no such property.
As a popular saying in modern time went, "The higher the profits are, the greater risks people are willing to take."
Furthermore, there was no such thing called law in Untainted Land. Minghe could make great profits with small investments and the selling price of an elixir could be four times higher than the cost of its ingredients.
There were plenty of experts who were adept at converting weapons and elixirs, but none of them had as much time as Minghe did. Therefore, he had not a single compet.i.tor and got a large number of treasures therefrom, which made him extremely content.
A few decades pa.s.sed and the superiors of Sorcerer and Demon tribes began to notice the Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers. Minghe had to halt for the time being as he did not intend to arouse too much attention, despite the fact that he had no fear towards these two clans at all. After all, the Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers had gone to most of the clans and Minghe had earned a fortune.
The disappearance of the Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers really troubled Sorcerer and Demon tribes who had intended to recruit them for service in case other clans took the lead. The Demon Clan was able to research the Law of Refining Elixir and Weapons while in the Wu (Sorcerer) Clan, there was no expert because they did not even have a Original Spirit. As a result, the Wu Clan was desperate for an expert in refining weapons and elixirs like the Blood G.o.d Doppelgangers.
Minghe quit to stay away from trouble and so he could continue touring in Untainted Land. The closer he got to the center, the more intoxicating the scenery became. Minghe would stop to admire the dreamlike landscape every time he met such places.
One day, Minghe spotted a terrific hot spring inside a spiritual mountain. The spring was quite cozy to touch, and he strolled aside the current to trace the source.
It was a mountainside surrounded by fog. Minghe walked for quite a long time and still failed to walk out. "Am I lost?" He wondered. "Or is this a Confusion Formation?" He took a closer look and found that he was indeed in the center of a tactical formation. He cursed himself for being so negligent. Luckily, it was just a Confusion Formation, not a Killing Formation. With his strength, normal tactical formations would not work. Even with that, he had to be more cautious or he would one day bite at the wrong bait.
Minghe waved his sleeves and the Confusion Formation was broken. He was able to see his surroundings clearly and heard some talking. "Elder sister, no, please, ah..." "Younger sister, how dare you play jokes on me? Hee hee..." Minghe followed the sound and was amazed at what he saw.
In the hot spring pool nearby, two young ladies were frolicking. Their beauty enchanted Minghe. He could not help thinking about a poem: From the north was a beauty; Unsurpa.s.sed, one and only; One glance enchanted a city; Another, the whole country. As a virgin, Minghe was bewildered at what he saw.
The two ladies perceived that the Confusion Formation was broken and noticed that a strange man was looking at them. They screamed. "Aaah!!!!" The scream was so loud that it made Minghe"s ears ache and him regain his consciousness.
Uh-oh!Minghe realized that he was spying on these ladies. Facing the oncoming ice swords, Minghe had to evade and then the two ladies came straight towards him with their weapons in hand. The image of their frolicking in the pool stirred up in his state of mind.
Despite having lived for such a long time, Minghe was still a virgin, and he had never fallen in love with someone. Even though they were trying to kill him, how could he not be touched by these two beauties?
Seeing the situation, Minghe promptly explained, "My ladies, please allow me to explain. I broke into this place by accident and I saw nothing of you two." Hearing this, the two ladies became even more irritated.
"You"re a shameless Lothario." The elder sister shouted in anger, "I"ll split you in two!" She waved her sword towards Minghe. He did not dare to fight back and tried to evade her attack. Minghe was not willing to hurt such a beautiful lady.
The younger sister joined the fight and the valley was full of Sword Aura. The comely scenery was ruined by the fight. The two beauties failed to hurt Minghe and got tired after a long effort while Minghe was enjoying all this.
At this point, Minghe continued to explain, "I did break into this place on coincidence. I was just trying to trace the source of the hot spring and refresh myself from the long journey. I truly apologize to you, my ladies." Minghe explained in detail so as to save himself from this first impression.
The two ladies gave up arresting Minghe since they knew they could not succeed. Hearing the apology from Minghe, they became interested in him. It was weird that with a higher-grade cultivation, Minghe was not trying to defeat them. Instead, he was panicked and covert upon seeing them.
The sisters whispered to each other, "Elder sister, he seemed to be unintentional and he"s such a fascinating person!" "Hmm...He"s at least a Secondary-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, even better than our eldest sister." "However, he"s quite funny, unlike the guys we"ve met before."
Hearing the chatter between the two beauties, Minghe felt confused. They should have been at the secondary-stage or late-stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortality, but they talked like novices. Perhaps this was the first time they had left their eldest sister and toured in Untainted Land.
While they were talking, Minghe had time to observe the two beauties. The elder sister was mature and s.e.xy while speaking in a cute manner; the younger sister was gentle and quiet. Both were definitely enchantresses in these ancient times.
The two beauties both had good figures. They were dressed up in laurel-green gowns and behaved like fairies. They could enchant any man in the world.
What moved Minghe most was their vital force. He was full of Yang vital force through cultivating his body while the two sisters possessed the purest Yin vital force. Yin and Yang were destined to be attracted to each other, which explained why Minghe had a special feeling towards the two beauties upon seeing them. Was this called falling in love?
Having lived for so long, Minghe still had no idea of what love was. Each twinkle and smile of theirs seemed to attract him more, and he found his heart could not help beating rapidly. He must have fallen in love with these two beauties.
After talking for a while, the two sisters stopped and said to Minghe, "Hey! It"s impolite to watch us! You"re s...o...b..ring." Minghe wiped his mouth and found there was no saliva at all.
"Hehe...Haha..." Hearing their laughs, Minghe realized that he had been fooled by them. He was quite embarra.s.sed and thought that his reputation had been ruined by them.
Minghe apologized again. "You two are the most beautiful ladies I"ve ever seen before, so I was at a loss just now. Please generously forgive me." Every girl enjoyed being praised for their beauty. As Minghe expected, the two sisters burst into giggles from Minghe"s compliment, or maybe it was because of his cute appearance.
