306: Senior sister wants to observe
"Immortal Master Yun Xian, this is…"
Liu Xuan did not know what Yun Xian meant by this. It was merely a Late Qi Refining Stage Yao Beast; even with a Tier 3 Bloodline, it shouldn't be enough to catch her eye.
If she really took a liking to it, giving it to her would be fine. In any case, he had absolute control over pets rewarded by the System, and he could take it back at any time in the future.
"This Seat has heard that the Black Crystal Bees and this Tier 3 Black Tortoise are both Spirit Beasts you raised. Despite not using a Beast Taming contract, you are able to make the Yao Beasts obey your every command. Junior Sister says it is because you have an extremely high affinity for Yao Beasts?"
As Yun Xian spoke, she stared at the changes in Liu Xuan's expression, as if trying to discern something from his face.
"The Beast Taming Sect values Beast Taming talent above all else. If you truly possess this kind of talent, this Seat can acknowledge you as a Junior Brother."
Liu Xuan looked at Yun Xian and asked, "What would you like me to do, Immortal Master?"
"It is very simple! You just need to make this Black Tortoise obey your commands in front of this Seat."
Yun Xian tapped her jade finger lightly, and an invisible ray of spiritual light struck the tortoise shell. The still-sleeping Black Tortoise jolted, stood up abruptly, and rolled its small eyes, looking left and right.
"Master?!"
The Black Tortoise looked at Liu Xuan, then at Yun Xian and Yun Yao nearby, and hurriedly sent a telepathic message: "Master, run! These two women are very fierce; don't let them catch you."
"I will cover for Master; I am not afraid even if I die!"
"Master…"
"Shut up!!"
Liu Xuan reprimanded it through his Divine Soul, which finally allowed him to calmly consider his current situation.
'This woman Yun Xian is clearly interested in me, or rather, has become suspicious. Whether or not I can prove my Beast Taming talent, it is disadvantageous for me.'
'If I have no talent, she might attack me in the next second. If I prove that I have extraordinary talent, her curiosity will only grow heavier.'
With thoughts racing like lightning and after a moment of deliberation, Liu Xuan decided to go along with her ideas first.
Didn't she want to see his talent? Then he would let her see it!
'If that doesn't work, I'll just use a Gu on you!'
With the Star Array and the Love Gu as his trump cards, Liu Xuan had the ability to flip the table at any time.
However, unless it was the final moment, Liu Xuan still wanted to save the Tier 4 top-grade Love Gu for Yun Miao to maximize its utility.
"Come here!" Liu Xuan ordered the Black Tortoise.
"Oh!"
The Black Tortoise was about to crawl toward Liu Xuan when a massive mental force suddenly pressed down upon it.
"Stay still!!"
Yun Xian's command also rang out in its mind. Furthermore, Yun Yao, who was standing to the side, also emitted a pressure unique to Yao Beasts.
"If you dare to disobey, die!!"
The Black Tortoise froze for two seconds, then quickly came to Liu Xuan's side and turned back to bare its teeth at the two women.
"Master, run! I will hold them off."
Yun Xian and Yun Yao were stunned! They had considered that the Black Tortoise might hesitate, but they hadn't expected it to be so decisive.
Faced with a life-or-death threat, even a natal spirit beast would hesitate. Yet this Black Tortoise feared no threat from them, ignored their Golden Core Aura, and stood by Liu Xuan's side without a hint of hesitation…
"Ahem~"
Liu Xuan coughed twice, stood up, bowed with folded hands, and said solemnly, "Disciple Liu Xuan pays respects to Third Senior Sister and Senior Sister Yun Yao!"
"That doesn't count, that doesn't count!" Yun Yao said in exasperation, "You must have cheated. This stinking turtle might have…"
Yun Yao's words were interrupted by Yun Xian. She waved her horsetail whisk and nodded, "Junior Brother Liu truly possesses top-tier Beast Taming talent. When the Academy Head arrives, Senior Sister will certainly beg him to find you a high-grade Bloodline Spirit Beast."
"Many thanks, Third Senior Sister!"
After Yun Xian and Yun Yao left, Liu Xuan threw the Black Tortoise into the West Courtyard's pond to sleep, then adjusted his mindset to help Zi Ling Cultivate properly.
...
A few days later.
Yun Xian showed no signs of leaving. Whenever she had time, she would run to Liu Xuan's side. One moment she said she wanted to watch Liu Xuan's Talisman Drawing, another moment she said she wanted to see his Artifact Refining, and then she wanted to watch Liu Xuan's Alchemy…
In a few days, she had verified all of Liu Xuan's various abilities. Liu Xuan didn't hide anything and let her watch everything.
Firstly, these were not big secrets; the high-status women in the West Courtyard had all seen them. Secondly, he wasn't afraid of Yun Xian. She could do whatever she wanted; if she provoked him, he would make her have a baby tomorrow!
At night.
The large bedroom on the top floor of the West Courtyard's main hall.
Accompanying Liu Xuan tonight were the newly Foundation Establishment female cultivators, Xia He and Lu Ping. They liked to bicker, and Liu Xuan intended to watch them have a good quarrel today.
Xia He was gentle and voluptuous, while Lu Ping was petite and cute. Together, they achieved an effect where one plus one was greater than two; this was also the reason Liu Xuan liked to put them together.
Xia He and Lu Ping were both smart people; how could they not know Liu Xuan's preferences?
In fact, they had long since reconciled in secret. Every time they acted jealous and refused to yield in front of Liu Xuan, it was all just an act for him to see.
After some playful teasing, the three of them had just prepared to Cultivate when Yun Xian and Yun Yao appeared again.
"Hoo~"
Liu Xuan let out a deep breath, reached up to rub his temples, and sighed helplessly, "Third Senior Sister, Senior Sister Yun Yao, what on earth do you want?!!"
The two women's cultivation was too high. Although he could perceive their movements in advance through the Star Array, he couldn't stop them without exposing the Star Array.
They could go wherever they wanted in the entire Red Pine Sect, and they always appeared at critical moments, which gave Liu Xuan a massive headache.
"It's nothing; Junior Brother, don't mind me. You two can continue."
Seeing Liu Xuan stunned, Yun Xian continued, "This Seat is very interested in the secret technique you use to Cultivate, and I would like to observe it. Junior Brother shouldn't mind, right?"
"???"
Liu Xuan's already aching brain crashed on the spot. He seriously doubted if he had misheard.
Was this kind of thing something that could be observed?!!
"Senior Sister, you're not joking, are you?!!" Liu Xuan asked.
"Of course I am not joking!" Yun Xian looked divine. On her solemn and dignified face, there was only curiosity about the secret technique and a yearning for the Dao, without a trace of lewd or impure thoughts.
"I have heard that Junior Brother is a one-in-a-million Genius of Dual Cultivation, not only able to assist your Dao Companion to Cultivate, but also able to help your Dao Companion break through Bottlenecks. This Seat is filled with curiosity."
"This…"
"Third Senior Sister, this matter is probably not very convenient…"
It wasn't that Liu Xuan was afraid of her seeing his body; rather, he felt it was truly absurd and was afraid she had some other motive.
Yun Xian did not show any Life Qi. She took a bottle of pink liquid from her person and tossed it to Liu Xuan.
"Senior Sister will not watch you for free. This is the 'Joyous Union Divine Oil'; it is a Tier 3 treasure I accidentally obtained many years ago. It is said to have been refined by the East Sea Joyful Union Sect and is of great benefit to the path of Dual Cultivation."
Liu Xuan opened it and sniffed. He dabbed a little on the back of his hand and felt it carefully. It seemed to be the real thing.
She was playing for real!
Liu Xuan looked at the 'Joyous Union Divine Oil' in his hand, then at the serious-looking Yun Xian, and hardened his heart.
'Am I, a grown man, afraid of you two women? Whatever your motive is, I'll just keep a distracted eye on you when the time comes.'
"Since that is the case, Senior Sister, please feel free!"
Liu Xuan hugged Xia He with one arm and Lu Ping with the other, smiling, "Today, you two do it yourselves!"
"No choice!"
Liu Xuan still had to distract himself to keep an eye on Yun Xian and Yun Yao, so the matter of Cultivating had to be done by them on their own.
