Chronicles of Daoist Fan - Chapter 123

”Time will decide that.” I left the arena saying an overused line.

Although I looked uninjured and tiptop on the outside, I was actually quite tired. Defeating a Meridian Opening practitioner was no walk in the park. I was only keeping appearances. I could have collapsed right there but I held myself straight.

‘Hmm?’ I saw someone waiting for me outside the stupa with a carriage.

”Young miss, what brings you here?” I omitted the “Fu” now that I was also a member of the Fu clan.

”Get in the carriage.” She gave me a hand.

There were people around us watching and seeing me with her, they all started making assumptions.

“Isn’t that Fu Qiai?”

“Is Humble White someone from the Fu clan?”

“That explains it…”

I didn’t pay much attention to them and boarded the carriage. Getting inside, I immediately leaned on my seat and breathed heavily.

“I didn’t know you were such a famous fighter,” She said, glancing at me.

It was already dark outside and there was only a dim light inside the carriage. The lamp embedded on the right wall was lacking in spirit stones. Low-grade spirit stones didn’t last that much anyway.

“I am somewhat good,” I replied.

She was wearing rather simple clothes this time. Under that silver robe worn for appearances were grey pajamas and a white shirt. She had her hair down and I found it short compared to that of Lingling’s and my little sister’s.

Fu Qiai leaned on her seat and locked her palms over her laps. She sat silent, not at all bothered by my scrutiny of her petite body. The lamplight cast a shadow under her eyes and small nose. Due to her misleading appearance which hid her maturity, she looked cute as a young girl.

I idly patted my seat. This was a different carriage than the one we used to go to the Fu clan settlement. It was driven by horses and there was a coachman as well.

“Where are we heading to?” I peeked outside, faintly recognizing the pass to the eastern district from the northern district. My eyesight was better than a normal person’s so I could partially see in the dark.

”To the hotel,” Fu Qiai said but I caught something else in that voice. Something suspicious… Immortal Wine Hotel was in the western district, why were we going to the eastern district then?

The answer to that question came just a moment later.

”I want a technique better than the Jade Sword Body. It must be a sword technique.” She sounded very determined. I finally understood why she wanted to give me a ride… no, I was supposed to give a ride instead.

”Here?” I asked, leaning over. I was kinda tired and wanted to postpone the thing for tomorrow, though. I would be free all day.

”Yes. People watch my every action in the Hotel and in the clan. I am already engaged, I cannot be too close to other men.” She voiced her reason.

Fu Qiai really was stubborn in her ambitions. She wanted to master the sword path at all costs. Even though it meant doing adulterous acts with another man. Still… carriage sex, I couldn’t say I didn’t like the notion of it.

”What about the coachman? It might get loud and shaky, you know.” I rested my right leg over my left knee and started shaking my feet.

This carriage was also not as heavy as the other one, so I wasn’t sure if it could fully absorb the ‘impacts’ of thrusting. Although shaky things were actually better, we needed a stable thing here.

”He’s deaf. He can’t hear a thing.” I was impressed by her ‘planning.’ She had found a way to fuck another man away from her fiance’s sight.

”Miss Fu, I am well aware of how much determination you have. You must have consoled with your-”

”No, he doesn’t know.” She firmly rejected that idea and waited. However, I wouldn’t be dilly-dallying if I wanted to have sex.

”Why don’t we do this tomorrow morning? My whole body is aching and I want a good night’s sleep. I know you are eager for a poun- I mean, technique but I’m not in the right condition at the moment.”

I laid flat on the long seat, bringing my legs up, and used the hand rest as a pillow for my head. If it was a normal match, I would still have lots of energy left. Despite defeating Night Raven, I was still a Visera Purifying practitioner after all. It wouldn’t make sense if I was still ready for what would be a vigorous mating session right after the match.

”You… I- I understand. I’m patient.” She was at a loss for words.

Fu Qiai didn’t take into account that I would be this tired. She didn’t know who I fought against and had come with the hope that I was ready.

Seeing her cross her legs and fold her hands, I closed my eyes. Fu Qiai wasn’t dejected but still a little frustrated as she didn’t expect that I would reject her without even touching her. As a pretty woman, she took pride in her young looks.

The carriage didn’t turn back but entered the southern district after leaving the eastern. She had given instructions to the coachman to make a clockwise round of the city and stop at the western district.

…

Next morning at Immortal Wine Hotel. I was sitting cross-legged on the hotel’s sixth balcony. It was the 3rd hour of the day and the sun hadn’t even risen.

I had slept early yesterday after having a meal consisting mostly of expensive beast meat, so I was feeling very refreshed.

I got a better hold of my advanced body after fighting Night Raven. I thought that I would be able to reach Meridian Opening using Chunu’s Yin but it appeared that this was the limit. 8th Rank of Viscera Purifying, I would have to go back to practicing normally now.

However, now that the Fu clan was behind my back, I was bound to reach that stage very soon. It could take 2-3 months. It had to be taken note that the higher one advanced, the greater time it would take to have a breakthrough.

My estimation of 2-3 months was still very optimistic. For a normal Viscera Purifying practitioner, reaching Meridian Opening from the 8th rank would take no less than a whole year. And for practitioners like those from Pinchu town, it would even take 5 years considering how much potential their technique and body have.

One way to speed up the advancement process was taking risks and challenging oneself. If someone does that by only using pills and medicinal baths, then all young masters would have already become cultivators by now.

I suddenly heard the horses neighing. Looking down, I found that a different carriage was parked near the hotel’s front doors. The coachman appeared to be the same but I didn’t see Fu Qiai anywhere.

‘She must still be in her room,’ I thought and stood up.

Going back to my room, I found Feng Yi sleeping like a dead log of wood. She didn’t move even when I poked her forehead. I went outside and saw the guards standing on either side of the corridors. They were half-asleep and didn’t notice me as I went past them.

Even if they did notice me, they wouldn’t have done anything. As a hotel meant for VIP customers, they didn’t have the status to stop anyone. Their job was to just stand there. Most of the customers were ranked higher than them, anyway.

As I exited the hotel whose lamps were going off one by one due to burning all night, I found the coachman saluting at me. At a closer look, his eyes were far behind me. I immediately sensed Fu Qiai walking towards us.

Turning around, I saw her in her nightgown… munching a piece of sweet cake.

”Will you have some?” I found her attitude of the Fu clan’s young miss lacking here. This seemed more like a ‘girl’, rather than a woman, here to prank someone.

”Nah, I’m good,” I replied.

The coachman was old, in his seventies and he had no reaction seeing this young miss wearing such revealing clothes. His silent attitude reminded me of Bina.

Fu Qiai finished her cake and we entered the carriage. Closing the doors, I saw that it was more spacious inside and there were three couches. The room, illuminated by a bright lamp at the top, was still small but enough for… four people?

‘Who the hell are these two girls?!’ Fu Qiai gave me a nice surprise here.

“You didn’t say that your legacy was limited to one girl at a time, did you? If we’re going to do it, then we must do it efficiently!” She had a heated gaze. It seemed that she had changed her mind last night.

I stared at the pretty girls who were also wearing revealing clothes like her. They looked like twins and had lascivious bodies.

”She is Wena and she is Sena. They are my cousins.”
