Fenrir’s Journey: I Shall Devour The Heavens - Chapter 53

Though she was kept waiting for a while, Fenrir didn’t mind that much since the atmosphere atop the mountain was very relaxing. She could feel herself growing marginally stronger just by staying in this place, filled to the brim with Ice, Water, and Yin Elemental energy. From this, Fenrir could understand why the woman named Wen Xiulan chose to cultivate here, as the energy contained in the atmosphere was very similar to the ice bed she once used in her previous world…

Thinking of the bed her Master had gifted her caused Fenrir to lapse into thoughts of the times she had spent curled up within his warm embrace. Even though she liked the cold, being next to her Master was always the most comfortable spot, no matter if it was hundreds of degrees above or below zero…

Eventually, a woman with a pure white gown, long black hair, stark blue eyes, and unblemished white skin showed up at the gate. Upon seeing her, Fenrir couldn’t help but feel that her Master would have been fond of such a woman, as she was almost on the level of some of the girls that stayed within the Manor. However, as there was also an icy cold feeling radiating off of her, causing others to naturally distance themselves, Fenrir wasn’t so sure. She didn’t believe this woman would be able to get along with the others, meaning she would have likely destroyed the happy balance everyone had worked so hard to create.

At the same time that Fenrir was sizing her up, Wen Xiulan was doing the same, abjectly shocked to see the young woman before her. Though she couldn’t sense the girl’s cultivation, Wen Xiulan could sense the Qi in the atmosphere flowing into the girl as if it were perfectly natural, something others could only achieve with intense meditation. The most surprising thing, however, was the fact that the density of Ice and Yin energies around the young girl’s body were beyond anything she had ever experienced before, making her own Heavenly Yin Body seem inconsequential in comparison.

Though she didn’t believe such an anomalous woman had come here to become a disciple of their Heavenly Moon Sect, Wen Xiulan still harbored a small amount of hope as she said, “Greetings, Little Sister…have you come here to join our Heavenly Moon Sect? Someone with your talent would be welcome with open arms. Though you would have to start off at the outer branch, I can give you a jade slip that would allow you to identify yourself as my personal disciple…”

From Wen Xiulan’s perspective, the girl before her was a talent that every Sect within the continent would fight over, especially those that used Yin and Yang cultivation techniques. For the former, she would become a phenomenal disciple that could easily rise to the rank of Junior Sect Master. As for the latter…well, such things were what plagued the nightmares of many women who cultivated such techniques. Anyone that cultivates a Yang-based cultivation method would stop at nothing to get their hands on such a capable ‘furnace’…

Remembering her own struggles in her youth, Wen Xiulan tried to put on a kind and inviting appearance, believing the girl before her knew exactly how unfair the world could be. If she chose to become a disciple of the Heavenly Moon Sect, Wen Xiulan resolved to teach her to the best of her abilities. She could tell that the girl, while having a cold and somewhat ferocious disposition, was actually someone whose heart was hurting. Though her scarlet red eyes cast an intimidating light, there was also a deep loneliness contained within, something only people with their constitution could understand…

Fenrir, after hearing the words of the woman in front of her, immediately shook her head and stated in a firm tone, “I will only ever have one Master, and he is not in this world…”
