Chapter 22: Immortals Finally Live Like Immortals

The distinction between immortality and mortality is clear.

Fortunately, Chen Ansheng had restrained his immortal aura; otherwise, the girl’s foot would have crushed underfoot, her fair little feet would have exploded.

“Lianxing sister, no wonder you dislike Taihao Sect. There are shameless people in your sect, eavesdropping on us bathing!”

The girl named Hongxue had already drawn her spiritual sword from her waist.

The other girl named Lianxing quickly stepped back, taking a good look. This person was not a disciple of her sect—she seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him.

“Hongxue sister, he’s neither my senior brother nor junior brother; I don’t know where he came from!” Lianxing explained.

“Then he’s just a shameless scoundrel from outside! Get up!” Hongxue shouted coldly.

Chen Ansheng leisurely got up from the grass, looking displeased, and said, “Are your eyes blind? Such a big living person lying here, and you don’t see him?”

Lianxing exclaimed angrily, “You shameless scoundrel! This spiritual spring is a sacred place of my sect; how dare you break in and then blame us!”

Hongxue coldly responded, “No need to say more. This thief was hiding in the grass, surely peeping on us bathing. How can we resolve our hatred without gouging out his thieving eyes?”

Chen Ansheng confidently said, “Everything has its order. I came here first to bask in the sunlight; it’s your own negligence for stripping down and entering the spring. Why should it concern me?”

This tone felt strangely familiar.

Lianxing then recognized Chen Ansheng. “Well, it’s you! That day you stole a thousand mid-grade spirit stones from me, and I haven’t settled the score with you yet! Tell me, did you peek at me and Hongxue sister?”

Chen Ansheng lazily replied, “So what if I did? And if I didn’t? My eyes are on my face; I can look wherever I want. What’s it to you?”

Shameless!

Lianxing’s body trembled slightly; this brazen person really did see her and Hongxue sister. This made her feel both embarrassed and angry.

At this moment, Hongxue was already exuding a killing intent. “You lowly creature, stealing my sister’s spirit stones and spying on us bathing—if I don’t kill you, it would be against the heavens!”

“Unreasonable.” Chen Ansheng calmly shook his head and said, “Forget it, it’s hard to deal with small people and women. I admit I’m unlucky today, suffering this loss. If you dare to be so brazen again, I won’t let it slide.”

“You!”

The two girls were so angry they were trembling.

In this world, there are such shameless people; it completely refreshed their worldview.

In a fit of anger, the girl Hongxue was the first to stab out with her sword.

She had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage a few days ago and had received her master’s true transmission of swordsmanship, so she was not afraid of this scoundrel from the same realm.

However, her sword stabbed into empty air. By the time she looked again, Chen Ansheng’s figure had already flown into the air.

“Huai Zhen, hurry up and leave!”

Chen Ansheng shouted in midair. Suddenly, a black shadow darted from the bushes at the back, fleeing faster than Chen Ansheng.

“He has accomplices; this drives me mad!”

As the two figures disappeared, they could no longer chase after them.

Whether it was anger or humiliation, the two girls’ cheeks had turned beet red.

After such an unpleasant incident, Hongxue said goodbye soon, preparing to return to the sect to call for people to track down that lecher, vowing to capture and dismember him.

However, just as Hongxue returned to Yaoyue Sect, she was urgently summoned by the sect leader.

“Master, why did you call for me in such a hurry?”

Hongxue bowed and asked curiously.

This girl, Hongxue, was the female disciple that Yuan Qingshan had mentioned before, with the full name Yao Hongxue.

Yuan Qingshan put down the teacup in his hand, motioning for Yao Hongxue to take a seat below, and said, “Xue’er, I have found a suitable match for you; how do you feel about it?”

Yao Hongxue had been accepted as a closed-door disciple by Yuan Qingshan at the age of eleven. Due to her outstanding talent and good behavior, Yuan Qingshan valued her greatly and treated her like a daughter.

Hongxue, who had been feeling angry, suddenly heard her master wanted to arrange a marriage for her, and her face turned slightly red, feeling shy.

“Master, I’m still young, and my cultivation time is short. If I hastily bind myself to a partner, it might not be appropriate.” Yao Hongxue lowered her head and spoke softly, then added, “By the way, may I know which fellow daoist it is? How is their character and appearance?”

“Hahaha.”

Yuan Qingshan saw that the little girl had thoughts on the matter and couldn’t help but laugh.

“The other party is the founding ancestor of a sect, with an elegant and carefree personality—definitely a dragon among men.” Yuan Qingshan had never seen that immortal expert himself; this was what the Old Ancestor said. If the meeting didn’t live up to the reputation, blame the Old Ancestor.

“Founding ancestor of a sect?” Yao Hongxue was stunned and repeatedly said, “Isn’t that person thousands of years old, like a filthy old man?”

“Watch your words!” Yuan Qingshan reprimanded lightly, saying, “According to your Old Ancestor, he’s tall and handsome and appears to be of a similar age to you. If he likes you, it would be a blessing you’ve accrued over several lifetimes.”

“……”

Yao Hongxue was instantly unconvinced.

In this Zhuzhou area, there were countless young talents. Since she was fourteen, many suitors had come to ask for her hand, and there were even people she couldn’t match up to.

“I want to see for myself what kind of person he is, that I’m not worthy of him, humph.” Yao Hongxue said angrily.

“Tomorrow I’ll prepare a generous gift; you will personally deliver it. If he takes a liking to you, you may stay. As for whether to be a wife or a concubine, it will depend on your own abilities.” Yuan Qingshan instructed.

Yao Hongxue: “???”

Is the master out of his mind?

What kind of marriage proposal is this, and I even have to bring a generous gift to plead?

Is there such a thing in the world?

“Master, you speak honestly… you aren’t planning to sell me off, are you? Boo hoo.”

“Nonsense, I treat you like my own daughter; how could I sell you? This opportunity, whether you can keep it, depends on your fate. You’ll know tomorrow.”

……

Back at the station of Zhenxian Sect.

Chen Ansheng lay in his own private courtyard, with several newly purchased maidservants attending to him nearby.

“Ah.”

As he opened his mouth, a pure and beautiful girl picked a peeled grape and brought it to his mouth.

“Master, these several are maidservants bought at a high price; I wonder if Master is satisfied?” Qing’er also stood by.

Chen Ansheng glanced at the maidservants; each one was beautiful, with top-notch figures. Just from appearances, they were all first-class beauties.

However, their cultivation levels were low, lacking a bit of spirit compared to Qing’er.

Even so, Chen Ansheng was quite satisfied.

If it weren’t for the cross-border stone, he wouldn’t even know where he would be wandering in the immortal realm, let alone enjoy this earthly bliss.

People, whether mortal or immortal, should be content.

“Hmm, this was done quite well.” Chen Ansheng comfortably closed his eyes and then instructed, “From now on, you all will follow Qing’er’s arrangements. As long as you serve this master well, there will be plenty of rewards.”

“Yes, we understand!” The girls replied in unison.

Qing’er, praised by Chen Ansheng, felt great joy in her heart and arranged, “Zi Yi, today Master is tired after his outing; please give him a leg massage. Miao Xiang, you give him a shoulder rub, and you…”

“Ah, how comfortable.”

Surrounded by the maidservants serving him, Chen Ansheng finally lived a life akin to that of an immortal.

After relaxing for a while, Chen Ansheng said, “Qing’er, do you have any amazing techniques to teach these maidservants?”

Qing’er was taken aback, thinking to herself that she had no unique techniques to share.

“Ah… are you referring to those binding techniques?” Qing’er’s face turned red. She thought to herself that she merely knew a few instinctive skills. In contrast, Master had learned quite a few powerful new moves from their repeated training sessions.

“Pretending to be clueless.” Chen Ansheng grinned.

Qing’er understood Chen Ansheng’s thoughts and felt her heart race a little faster. “I haven’t taught them any techniques yet. While you’re not in seclusion, I implore you to help me guide them.”

The maidservants helped Chen Ansheng up, and Chen Ansheng looked at each beautiful maidservant, each with their charm. “Hmm, that’s a good proposal; I’ll work harder today and teach you all personally.”
