Chapter 26: A Pair of Beauties Under One Master
Wu Xinjie wanted to speak, but suddenly, Lin Yingmei, who was to the side, collapsed onto the floor.
Su Xing came over to help her, rushing hastily to Lin Yingmeiâs side, extending his hand. The young girlâs debilitated state was graver than they thought.
âWhatâs happening?â Su Xing asked Wu Xinjie this perplexing question.
Wu Xinjie frowned, explaining: âThe effects of the âStar Breaker Golden Pillâ are probably kicking in.â
âJust what the hell did you give to Yingmei?â Star Breaker Golden Pill? Upon hearing this name, Su Xing had an ill sense of foreboding.
The Star Breaker Golden Pill is considered one of Liangshan Continentâs secret medicines. It enables any Star Cultivator to gain a sudden overflow of Star Energy. This type of overflow wasnât simply a replenishment of Star Energy, and it could raise Star Energy to the highest point that it could be called a lethal weapon to turn the tide. There was a price, of course. Even though it would not really destroy every meridian like Wu Xinjie said it would, overexertion would definitely lead to the user being very weak for quite some time.
âYoung master, you neednât worry. If you let Yingmei go to the Star Nest
recuperate, she should recover in ten days.â Wu Xinjie comforted Su Xing.
âAnd where is this Star Nest.â Su Xing frowned.
Wu Xinjie stared blankly for a second. Then blinking her eyes, she giggled: âYoung master, could it be that Yingmei hasnât even informed you of this at all?â
Su Xing shook his head.
âThis is definitely the Majestic Starâs style.â Wu Xinjie tried to stifle a laugh.
Apparently, this âStar Nestâ was produced when a Star Cultivator and a Star Maiden contracted with one another, and it was akin to a sort of âastralâ space. This sort of space was opened by each otherâs Astral Crests, and the Star Generals that sign contracts are able to retreat to the Star Nest to recover. Because Star Generals are unable to cultivate Star Energy, they therefore enter the Star Nest to share the Star Energy of their Master in order to grow their own. And this is one reason why Star Generals sign Star Duel Covenants with Star Masters.
Only by doing so can the Earthly Fiendsâ Star Energy exceed the most powerful Heavenly Spirits.
âSo it turns out there was something like this.â Su Xing opened his mouth to speak.
The Knowledge Star Wu Xinjie thought this was obvious: âItâs perfectly normal. Signing the Star Duel Covenant doesnât only mean that every other Star General is an enemy. Itâs those cultivators that are the biggest threat. Ordering a Star General into the Star Nest is a great way to hide people from prying eyes. It hides their identity, otherwise, youâd die a hundred time before even reaching Maiden Mountain.â
Su Xing thought this way as well. If Star Generals so obviously stayed at their masterâs side, even blind people could see who they were, and they would suffer innumerable deaths by that time. But as for Lin Chong, telling her to stay in the Star Nest would perhaps be a sort of humiliation.
Wu Xinjie also took the moment to inform Su Xing the method of how to open the Star Nest.
It was actually very simple. Su Xing pointed his hand at Lin Yingmeiâs forehead, and the Astral Crest on the young girlâs forehead began to emit light. Lin Yingmei cracked open her eyes slightly.
âYingmei, so that you can get better, go cultivate in the Star Nest for the time being.â Su Xing.
Lin Yingmei softly voiced her assent, and then she closed her eyes once more.
The pairâs Astral Crests began to shine together, and suddenly, Lin Yingmeiâs figure disappeared into thin air, as if she was a ghost.
Su Xing got a strange feeling, as if another soul had invaded him, and his mind seemed as if it got another power.
âHowever, Yingmeiâs weakness is great, and she canât bear her injuries. Young master, if you want to restore her quickly, Xinjie has a divine physician friend that could perhaps have some recipes. Xinjie can take Young Master there.â Wu Xinjie said shadily.
As if Su Xing could not hear the true meaning behind her words.
âIâm very thankful for everything youâve done, however, we should still part ways here.â Su Xingâs attitude was resolute. Traveling the road together with a person that would mastermind a trap to hurt their own, even if she redeemed herself slightly from this failing towards the end, Su Xing wasnât that eager to shoot himself in the foot.
Only the heavens knew what sort of tricks this resourceful Knowledge Star would play.
âBut, why?â Wu Xinjie could not understand.
âWhy, you say?â Su Xing asked back.
Recalling their encounter at Grand Border City, Wu Xinjie quietly sighed. âEven if Xinjie could give Young Master the very best soul techniques, the greatest and most powerful talismans and artifacts, would Young Masterâs heart still not move?â
Su Xing did not reply, but his expression revealed that he acquiesced with her words.
âVery well, then. Xinjie has only one very last request!â Wu Xinjie bit her lip, still holding out hope.
âWhat request is this?â
Wu Xinjie came closer, the tip of her nose almost sticking onto Su Xingâs face, the faint fragrance of Begonia flowers drifting into his nostrils.
âIf Young Master could contract with two Star Generals at once, then would Young Master please contract with Xinjie?â
Su Xing nodded his head. Ignoring the fact that she was the Knowledge Star for now, since she tended to him for the past few days, he held a good impression of her.
Wu Xinjie gave a playful smile, suddenly closed her eyes, stood tiptoe and kissed Su Xingâs lips. It was like a bright flame, and the terror froze his body in place.
The young girl was as tempting as a lilac, as fragrant as an orchid, and also fierce. Su Xing felt his entire body go out of control. He had a sort of deja vu, feeling as though he were being sucked out of his body. His forehead shined, but the difference was that there wasnât that type of distinct burning. Rather, it was like gently running water soothing his face.
Wu Xinjie opened her eyes, that pair of great, clear eyes showing surprise, embarrassment and excitement. The Knowledge Starâs kiss was full of heat, and the sensation lingered.
A few short dozens of seconds felt longer than a century.
Su Xing kept swallowing down his saliva, staring at Wu Xinjie looking completely surprised, especially at her forehead, with that gorgeous and dazzling crest, with its bright and vivid style.
The young girl was more surprised than even he, and she joyfully jumped and jumped, almost as if she was a child.
âWhatâs going on?â Su Xing still couldnât believe this.
Wu Xinjie calmed down and licked her lips seductively, âYoung Master, Xinjie can let you ârideâ her like a horse in the futureâŠâ
âDid we really sign a Star Duel Covenant?â Su Xing touched his forehead. He didnât feel at all that the contract with Lin Yingmei was broken. In other wordsâŠ?
âCongratulations to young master for obtaining more beauties.â
Wu Xinjie blushed shyly.
Su Xing thought that only one Star Duel Covenant could be signed. It never occurred to him that he could sign a second one, but thinking again, this wasnât actually a bad thing. From the bottom of his heart, he didnât really want to become enemies with Wu Xinjie.
After signing this unexpected contract, Wu Xinjieâs downcast mood was swept away, and she was indescribably happy. As if she were moving house, she pulled out every single thing from inside her Astral Bag.
Besides that âHeart Like Mirrors Absolute Sincerity Soul Technique,â there was a copy of the âThirty-six Roads Hidden Star Techniqueâ that described techniques to hide Star Energy. Since Wu Xinjie couldnât cultivate this technique, she gave it to Su Xing. In addition, she had hundreds of low rank talismans, dozens of middle rank talismans, as well as a single high rank talisman.
The rest of the Crystal Spirit Jade wasnât few in number either.
Seeing those âSplashing Fire,â âWind Kill,â âDrawing Thunder,â âEarth Escapeâ and even a copy of the terrifying âDivine Punishmentâ talismans, Su Xingâs brow was filled with sweat. If he had actually raised a hand against Wu Xinjie just now, he wouldâve had his fill with these talismans. As Star Generals are unable to use artifacts, these talismans just became Wu Xinjieâs life-savers, but Su Xing didnât even want hers.
However, it can be said that even if she took third place, no one would know how she got those excellent items. In this regard, the Knowledge Starâs explanation: She doesnât have overwhelming force, nor does she possess any powerful spells, so for the Young Masterâs sake, she needed to prepare. After all she was the Knowledge Star, the Resourceful Star, Wu Yong. Being married to the Young Master meant her dowry could not be small.
Since they already signed the contract, Su Xing again recalled what Wu Xinjie said about her divine physician friend: âCan your friend really treat Lin Yingmei?â
âOf course.â Wu Xinjie giggled. âThe Star Breaker Golden Pill was a recipe created by her.â
âSheâs this incredible? Then is she a Star General, too?â
ââTis so. The âEfficacious Star,â Divine Physician An Daoquan!!â Wu Xinjie batted her eyes.
