Chapter 103: Chapter 103: The Fairy Leng Yuexi and the
Straightforward Zhou Sui t

To be honest, this was indeed an unprecedented opportunity.
After all, normally, Zhou Sui wasn’t eligible to meet Foundation-building Cultivators, let alone women of their caliber like Leng Yuexi. Different statuses, different strengths, naturally meant they never crossed paths.
If he missed this chance, he wouldn’t know when he’d get another. Moreover, he had no qualms about rising to power through a woman. Some relied on their parents for power, some on talent, some on luck. Weren’t they all using external forces?!
Why couldn’t he ascend through a spiritual partner then?
Whoosh!
With that thought, Zhou Sui didn’t hesitate and immediately commanded his clone.
The next second, his clone instantly appeared in the alley, in front of Leng Yuexi.
Instantly, his spirits lifted. Even in the darkness, the stunning beauty of the woman in front of him was impossible to hide. Her skin was so delicate it could break from a blow, her exquisite, oval face radiant and alluring, eliciting tenderness from anyone who saw her.
Even in the mundane world, her extraordinary demeanor shone through.
Her body was also incredibly attractive, perfectly sculpted with not a single flaw to be found. &
No wonder she was hailed as the sect’s fairy, a name that was indeed well-deserved.
Interesting, it seems I, Leng Yuexi, am truly fallen. Even a mere Qi Practitioner dares to assassinate me now?” Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui coldly with her radiant eyes as a terrifying aura spread from her.
It seemed like she would attack the unknown man in front of her in an instant.
Although she was indeed poisoned and had spent more than two years unable to purge the toxin,
a Foundation-building Cultivator is always a Foundation-building Cultivator, no matter how weak they become. They are no match for a Qi Practitioner.
Just like a weak tiger is still not to be provoked by a rabbit.
Don’t worry, Senior Leng, I’m not your enemy but want to help you.” Zhou Sui showed no fear, remaining calm as he looked at her. He seemed unfazed by the murderous intent around him which suggested his imminent death, and his sense of ease was evident.
“Help me? What could a mere Qi Practitioner possibly do to help me?” Hearing this, Leng Yuexi wanted to laugh. She was currently in a self-preservation mode and didn’t know if she could survive her current predicament. But this insignificant Qi Practitioner had the audacity to utter such ludicrous claims.
If it were anyone else, she would have killed the minor cultivator with a palm strike.
Yet, curiously, looking at Zhou Sui’s calm face, she felt a hint of security. It seemed like her instinct was telling her that this man could be trusted. Most importantly, this male cultivator seemed rather charming, at least not like the other smelly men.
That was one of the powers of the Obsession Gu.
Even if it couldn’t increase Zhou Sui’s strength, it could enhance his charisma, especially with women.
This charisma practically transcended cultivation stages.
Of course, the lower the cultivation stage of the female cultivator was, the greater the influence would be.
Leng Yuexi, unknowingly, was influenced to some extent.
Although she wasn’t in love with him, there was at least a hint of fondness, and she was willing to listen to Zhou Sui.
If it were another male cultivator, she would have killed him long ago, not interested in his nonsense.
“If I’m not mistaken, Senior Leng, you have been poisoned, and have lost nine-tenths of your power.”
“Outside, the city is surrounded by cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect, with Foundation-building Cultivators lurking.
“Escaping from Misty Cloud City now will certainly result in your death, Senior Leng.”
However, I have a hideout that can save you.”
“Of course, you don’t need to worry about me plotting against you. If I really wanted to harm you, I would’ve simply given your information to the Ghost Demon Sect. Why would I need to go the extra mile?”
Zhou Sui smiled slightly.
Interesting. What do you want? What do you want to gain from me?”
Leng Yuexi looked deeply at him.
She believed three parts of Zhou Sui’s words.
Because it was indeed so. If he harbored malicious intent, he would have leaked her whereabouts long ago, instead of risking his life to intercept her.
What he wanted was, of course, her, all of her.
With her, what couldn’t he get?
Zhou Sui blinked. Of course, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to say that out loud He honestly said, “Truth be told, I’m a Loose Cultivator, nearly at the Qi Cultivation nineth Layer. I aim to become a Foundation-building Cultivator in the future, and thus need a Foundation Pill. The problem is, as a Loose Cultivator, it’s hard to come by a Foundation Pill.
“But if I save you, Senior Leng, I might be able to get a Foundation Pill to help promote me to the Foundation Establishment realm. That’s my purpose.”
“But if you turn me in, wouldn’t you also get a Foundation Pill from the Ghost Demon Sect?”
Leng Yuexi was non-committal.
But internally, she believed about half his claim.
She was not afraid of his demands, but of him having none.
If it was a Foundation Pill, given her status and position, it wouldn’t be a difficult matter.
“How can you trust the words of demon cultivators? I trust you, Senior Leng, from a reputable, upright sect, much more.”
“If it were a cultivator from the Ghost Demon Sect, I’m afraid I’d be killed by
the demon cultivator before even getting the Foundation Pill.”
Zhou Sui spoke seriously.
“Indeed, you’re quite perceptive. Those demon cultivators are all despicable and dishonorable, cunning and merciless, bereft of credibility. If you really trusted their promises, then death wouldn’t be far.”
Leng Yuexi was thoroughly satisfied with Zhou Sui’s answer.
Seems like the reputation of a decent, orthodox sect still held some sway, at
least they could help from Loose Cultivators at critical junctures.
So, Senior Leng, have you agreed to my terms?”
Zhou Sui had an elated look on his face.
“Yes, I agree. If you save me, naturally I will give you the Foundation Pill.”
“But now, Misty Cloud City is surrounded by demon cultivators. How do you plan to save me?”
“If I were to die here, I wouldn’t be able to fulfill the promise to you.”
Leng Yuexi was very curious about how the man in front of her planned to save her. The current situation was a ten-sided ambush by the Ghost Demon Sect, there seemed to be no hope of escape.
“Senior Leng, just follow me.”
Zhou Sui didn’t explain anything. He led Leng Yuexi to a deserted courtyard nearby, where there was a huge hole that led to an underground shelter.
“A hole? Do you mean you’ve dug a tunnel underground?”
Leng Yuexi instantly understood Zhou Sui’s method of escape.
Correct, I spent a lot of time digging a large maze under Misty Cloud City.”
Zhou Sui nodded, “As long as we escape through the underground tunnel, even the Foundation-building Cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect won’t know where we are hiding. If we stay hidden underground for a while, the demon cultivators won’t be able to find you, and the Ghost Demon Sect will naturally retreat. At that point, we can leave.”
“Not bad at all.”
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexi’s eyes lit up instantly, she felt very excited.
Indeed, if there truly was a large passage underground, they could evade the pursuit of the Ghost Demon Sect and survive.
She felt a surge of joy in her heart; it seemed she didn’t have to die after all..
