Chapter 13: Xu Miao (1)
“Silver Phoenix Sect?”
Xu Xiuying giggled, “Yes. It’s an all-female sect, but I’ll make an exception for you. However, you will have to start from the bottom as an outer disciple. How about it? Want to join us?”
Miaomiao couldn’t believe his ears. Joining a sect would benefit him since he didn’t have a good backing at the moment, but he doubted Xu Xiuying’s motive. This invitation was unusual.
“What’s the catch? I know that you won’t accept a male disciple into an all-female sect without a reason.”
“Well, I’ll be honest,” Xu Xiuying gave Jian Lan a meaningful look, “I’m experimenting something. I want to make my sect a unisex one, but I don’t know if my girls will be able to adapt to men or not since they grew up with only female friends. For now, I want to use you as a test subject.”
That was a lie. Xu Xiuying wanted to experiment if Miaomiao could boost his sex partner’s strength. Because of the sudden increase of Jiang Lan’s cultivation base overnight, Xu Xiuying assumed that Miaomiao might have done something to her yesterday.
The snow woman’s eyes changed colors for a brief moment as she scanned through Jiang Lan’s dantian. She squinted her eyes, but her mouth curved up into a smile.
Jiang Lan sensed a chill running down her spine. She flinched, and her shoulders drooped, fearing that she might be punished.
Miaomiao noticed Xu Xiuying’s eyesight, so he stepped in front of Jiang Lan to shield her.
“What can I get, and what do I have to do as this sect’s outer disciple? Can I learn martial arts from you or other elders? Can I obtain a technique that I can learn? Where do I rest?”
Miaomiao shot random questions at Xu Xiuying to divert her attention. He didn’t want this snow woman to discover several drops of yin essence that he gave to Jiang Lan.
“Hmm, you’re a greedy one. Don’t worry about the benefits. For a starter, my sect will provide you 100 spirit stones each month.”
Upon hearing that Xu Xiuying promised to give Miaomiao a wage of 100 spirit stones a month, Jiang Lan and Luo Cheng widened their eyes in shock.
Normally, an outer disciple from Mountain Goose Sect or Silver Phoenix Sect could only earn one spirit stone a month. Inner disciples could get 10 to 20 spirit stones, and only core disciples could enjoy the privilege of 100SS wage.
This special treatment came out of nowhere, which baffled them.
Xu Xiuying continued, “You can attend a weekly class with other outer disciples, and you can pick one of our cultivation techniques from our outer sect’s library. As for the meals and your resting quarter, it will be provided for you for free. Any other question?”
Those were common treatments that outer disciples had in Silver Phoenix Sect. Luo Cheng and Jiang Lan didn’t detect any more unusual perk.
“Then, what kind of assignments are you going to impose on me as your outer disciple? I don’t believe in free meals.”
Miaomiao was sharp. He didn’t believe that Xu Xiuying would recruit him because of the unisex issues. On the other hand, she might have plotted something again.
Xu Xiuying smirked. She wanted to continue lying, but she decided to probe Miaomiao with the truth.
“Yes. Your tasks are simple. I will use you as a reliever for our workers and my outer disciples. Some of them practice yin arts, and they need yang qi to stabilize their dantians. I want you to have sex with them whenever they call for you.”
In other words, Xu Xiuying wanted to enlist Miaomiao as a toy for her outer disciples and brothel workers.
“So, you want me to be a man whore.”
“Exactly.”
“Can I refuse?”
“Do you know how many men are willing to die to get this job? If you decline my offer, this opportunity won’t come again.”
“…”
Miaomiao and Xu Xiuying had a staring contest, glaring into each other’s eyes. But in the end, Miaomiao averted his eyes and gritted his teeth.
‘I need to complete more quest, and I need yang essence that I can only get from sex. This deal can help me, but it won’t be good for my future in the long run. I’ll get stuck here and being used by these women for the rest of my life at this rate. But if I turn her down, can I complete my current quest within a month?’
Miaomiao compared long-term goals with his short-term goal. He didn’t want to be tied by an organization, but it might be impossible to complete the tutorial quest without their help.
‘I’ll do it this way. I’ll stick with them and slowly increase my cultivation base. I don’t believe that I can’t break free from this woman in the future. I’ll get stronger and make her my bitch! No matter how strong you are, I will surpass you!’
Miaomiao’s expression changed. He revealed his business smile and knelt. He cupped his fist and bowed to Xu Xiuying.
“Mao Miaomiao greets master!”
Xu Xiuying burst into laughter, “Hahaha! Welcome to my sect, boy! Although you’re not technically my core disciple, you can call me master.”
Xu Xiuying got in the front of Miaomiao. She patted his head as if he was a pet, “But first off, your name and surname combination are silly. Having a name that can be interpreted as [Cat Meow Meow] will be a demerit when you’re famous in the future. I shall bestow you a new name and a new identity.”
Cold qi from Xu Xiuying’s hand entered Miaomiao’s brain and body. For a brief moment, Miaomiao thought that his entire body was frozen into an ice cube.
[[Ding]]
[[Warning! Unknown yin qi has infiltrated your dantian and meridians!]]
[[No harm has been done to the host’s body and cultivation potential.]]
[[Ignoring the yin qi…]]
The system ignored Xu Xiuying’s mysterious skill, so there was nothing Miaomiao could do to resist her qi. He braced the pain and allowed Xu Xiuying to finish what she was doing.
The freezing energy seeped into every pore of Miaomiao’s organs, but they didn’t harm Miaomiao other than making him feel like he was swimming in an arctic ocean.
After 5 minutes of torture, Miaomiao’s hair turned white, but they grew longer, reaching his back. His rough light yellow skin became jade white. His pupils changed from black to light blue.
Now, Miaomiao transformed into a pale man with silver straight long hair. Even his face and his eyes looked similar to Xu Xiuying. If anyone saw Miaomiao’s current look, they would have mistaken him as Xu Xiuying’s younger brother or her son.
This was the Silver Phoenix Sect’s secret technique, Eternal Youth Transformation. Once mastered, anyone could adjust their physique into whatever condition they desired, including altering other people’s bodies.
And now, Xu Xiuying used it on Miaomiao.
Jiang Lan covered her mouth, shocked by the sudden transformation. Even Luo Cheng’s face became solemn because of the astonishment.
“Mao Miaomiao. From now on, you will be known as Xu Miao! Luo Cheng, I want you to spread words that Xu Miao is a biological son of mine.”
“HOLD ON!” Miaomiao protested, “I haven’t agreed to this! How come that I’ve become your son!?”
“Oh, shut up, you!” Xu Xiuying cackled, “You think you can go around and sleep with my disciples with your previous status? Everyone despises men with short hair. Even if you have long hair, you will have a hard time living as a disciple in our all-female sect. I’ve just adopted you, so I can have a legitimate reason to put you in the sect. Also, with your new status, my girls will definitely spread their legs to welcome your dick.”
“…”
Again, Miaomiao was led by the nose, but he believed it was fair. For the sake of his safety, having a false status as Xu Xiuying’s son was better than being a no-name slave in the eyes of native people.
“I’ll be in your care… mother,” Miaomiao swallowed his pride and bowed to his new parent.
“Hahahaha!”
Xu Xiuying’s laughter echoed through the fifteenth floor.
.
.
.
In the late afternoon, Xu Xiuying summoned inner disciples, outer disciples, elders, slaves, and workers from all fields to the 10th floor, the gathering floor for all employees and disciples.
The 10th floor of Poseidon Spa House was a secret place that customers couldn’t access, just like the fifteenth floor. All men could only step foot on the 1st to the 5th floor. Beyond that, they were the territories of the sect’s disciples and brothel worker resting quarters.
At the center of this floor, a 30-square-meter 2-story fountain circulated silver water. At the bottom of the fountain, over a thousand pieces of raw spirit stones laid there, releasing natural qi for everyone to cultivate. Ten mean-looking muscular women stood around the fountain, acting as its protectors. Anyone who wanted to steal these spirit stones would have to go through them first.
At each corner of this floor, small rings and stages were arranged there for disciples to spar against each other. However, today, no one bothered using the sparring stages.
Two thousand women with different statuses gathered to hear Xu Xiuying’s urgent announcement. They loitered on this floor, waiting for their master to arrive.
*VHOOM*
A blue portal opened from the ceiling, and Xu Xiuying descended. She floated over the top of the fountain, so everyone could see her.
*VHOOM*
Another space portal opened, and a silver-haired man appeared, standing on a semi-transparent platform and descending to Xu Xiuying’s sides. He was Miaomiao, whom Xu Xiuying had altered his look and given him a new uniform.
Miaomiao now wore silver daoist robes with an embroidered red phoenix on the back, the signature cloth of Xu Clan’s noblemen. With his current silver hair and handsome face, everyone mistook him as Xu Xiuying’s relative.
“Who’s that man? He looks like our master.”
“I don’t know. But those clothes are Xu Clan’s…”
“That silver hair and those clothes… He’s definitely a young master from the main branch.”
“He’s so dreamy! Is he here for business? Is he here to use our service?”
“But his cultivation base… why is it so low?”
“Who cares? He’s from a noble clan, and he’s handsome! I don’t mind bearing his children!”
Not only the prostitutes and other workers got excited, inner disciples who had shunned Miaomiao yesterday fixated on him. Their eyes brightened, and their pupils expanded, revealing their interests. Several women and even armored women dropped their jaws, drooling. They daydreamed what they would do if Miaomiao called for their service or proposed to them.
Just by having long silver hair and good clothes, these women gazed at Miaomiao as if he was their ideal husband.
“CALM YOUR TITS, SL*TS!!” Xu Xiuying roared.
All girls came back to their senses. They swiped their drool and adjusted their posture.
“LISTEN UP! FROM THIS DAY ONWARD, MY SON, XU MIAO, WILL BE JOINING OUR SECT AS AN OUTER DISCIPLE!!”
“EHHHHH!!??”
