Cultivating Immortality Begins with Acting as a Girl Chapter 186

The red-headed black-winged demon slept for an entire afternoon, until a panicked shout from the entrance of the canyon woke it from its dream.

“Great King, something terrible has happened, Great King! Powerful human cultivators have broken into the mountains!”

“So noisy!”

The red-headed black-winged demon opened its eyes, kicked away a gold goblet inlaid with gems at its feet, and looked at the Lizardman that had rushed in, saying irritably, “What’s there to panic about? Powerful human cultivators, how powerful can they be?!”

“Extremely powerful! From afar, I could sense that the aura of that man and woman was at least several times stronger than yours, Great King!” The Lizardman trembled all over.

“What?!”

The red-headed black-winged demon suddenly stood up, its black feathers bristling, and its seat shattered with a crash.

An aura several times stronger than its own?

Wouldn’t that mean cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refinement?!

The red-headed black-winged demon didn’t hesitate for a second, immediately spread its wings, stirred up a gust of wind, and rapidly rushed towards the canyon exit.

“Wait for us, Great King!”

The other Lizardman in the canyon quickly followed, and in a blink of an eye, they had all fled.

“They came quite fast.”

Song Ling smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and struck himself several times, creating some rather intimidating injuries. He then made his face pale and weak, and lay powerlessly on the ground.

Not long after, a roar came from outside the canyon.

Just as Song Ling was about to perform a bit of “tea art” in front of his Senior Brother Wen Xingwen, he didn’t expect that the first one to rush in would be Ji Yuxi.

Ji Yuxi’s gaze swept across the entire canyon and quickly found Song Ling, who was trapped in a cage. She immediately ran over, scrutinized him from head to toe, and asked, “Shen Shaohua, how are your injuries?”

Perhaps it was because she understood that Song Ling was captured because of her, so her tone was not as cold as before.

“Second Senior Sister…”

Song Ling struggled to open his eyes, his parched lips trembling slightly, “I’m fine. You came to save me? Where’s Senior Brother?”

“Senior Brother went to chase that little demon. Although that little demon is weak, it flies quite fast. But it’s useless, it can’t escape from Senior Brother’s hands. It must have already been dealt with by now.” Ji Yuxi saw the many human skeletons in the canyon, and her killing intent towards the red-headed black-winged demon reached its peak.

“Cough, cough… So, Senior Brother will be here soon?”

Song Ling asked, and a bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind. If it could be realized, it might completely destroy the relationship between the two of them in one fell swoop.

At that time, Wen Xingwen would no longer be a threat to him.

Ji Yuxi frowned slightly, and couldn’t help but say sarcastically:

“You’ve already been saved anyway, why are you so concerned about whether Senior Brother comes or not? Are you trying to feign pity again to gain sympathy?”

Just then, a steady sound of footsteps came from outside the canyon entrance.

Song Ling’s eyes moved, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He swept his left hand over his storage bag, took out the token from the Grand Elder’s friend’s cave mansion, and then threw it directly to Ji Yuxi.

Ji Yuxi raised her willow-like eyebrows, and subconsciously reached out to catch it.

“What do you mean by this?”

“Second Senior Sister, when you say I’m pretending, I’d better really be pretending.”

A flush of abnormal color flashed across Song Ling’s face. Then, he let out a shrill, mournful cry, “Second Senior Sister, I will take you all into the cave mansion, why would you—”

Before he finished speaking, Song Ling raised his hand and fiercely struck himself in the chest with a palm!

“Pfft!”

A large amount of fresh blood gushed out, completely staining Song Ling’s clothes.

Of course, Song Ling couldn’t truly put himself in a life-or-death situation. Although this palm strike was indeed very heavy, even severing half of his heart meridian, it didn’t reach a dying state. However, when combined with his ever-changing simulated disguise, it was enough to make it seem real.

“You—”

Ji Yuxi’s expression changed drastically, and she instantly understood Song Ling’s purpose, but… it was too late.

“Junior Sister!”

Wen Xingwen heard Song Ling’s shrill voice and quickly rushed out of the cave entrance of the canyon. His gaze immediately locked onto Song Ling, who was lying on the ground, covered in blood, and Ji Yuxi, who looked flustered and astonished, holding the token.

“Senior Brother, listen to me, things are not as you see them. It was Shen Shaohua who wanted to frame me and injured herself!”

Ji Yuxi was eager to explain, but Wen Xingwen didn’t even look at her. His figure flickered as he rushed to Song Ling’s side, placing his hands on his pulse, his face turning as dark as water.

“Junior Sister’s heart meridian is severed, and her aura is extremely weak. She’s about to die! You say she framed you? Using her own life to frame you?!” Wen Xingwen turned his head and angrily rebuked Ji Yuxi.

“I…”

Ji Yuxi’s knuckles, holding the token, turned white, and her entire arm trembled slightly.

She wanted to argue, but seeing Wen Xingwen’s cold, knife-like gaze, all her words seemed to be frozen in her throat.

“Jade Clarity Pill.” Wen Xingwen suddenly looked up at the storage bag at Ji Yuxi’s waist, “Where is that Jade Clarity Pill I gave you before I went into seclusion? If Junior Sister takes it now, there might still be a glimmer of hope!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuxi staggered back half a step, the beads of the jade pendant tassel on her storage bag clinking crisply.

“Senior Brother, you bought that Jade Clarity Pill at the market by scrimping and saving for three whole years, just for me. Now, you want me to take it out to save this malicious woman who slandered me with a snake-like heart?” Ji Yuxi’s voice was filled with an undisguised tremor and heartache.

“Even now, you are still slandering Junior Sister.”

Wen Xingwen closed his eyes and sighed heavily, “Yuxi, I don’t know what you’ve experienced during my seclusion that made you like this, but protecting Junior Sister is a task given to me by Master. I absolutely cannot let anything happen to her. As for you harming a fellow disciple, I will temporarily not pursue it out of our past affection, but the Jade Clarity Pill, you must take it out now.”

“Alright.”

Ji Yuxi stared at Wen Xingwen for a long time, then suddenly smiled, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Senior Brother, be sure to look closely, lest she choke.”

With that, she swept her hand over her storage bag and threw out a snow-white pill the size of a longan, letting it roll in front of Wen Xingwen.

Wen Xingwen quickly picked up the pill, wiped it briefly, and then put it into Song Ling’s mouth.

The Jade Clarity Pill melted upon entering the mouth, and its medicinal power transformed into a massive warm current that gathered towards Song Ling’s severed heart meridian, then began to rapidly repair and stabilize his injuries.

Song Ling, feigning unconsciousness, controlled his ever-changing abilities, cooperating with the medicinal power of the Jade Clarity Pill to simultaneously restore his disguised severed heart meridian.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wen Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Ling’s pulse and breathing had finally stabilized; his life should be saved.

Under Wen Xingwen’s several calls, Song Ling’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he opened his eyes, his voice weak, “…Senior Brother?”

“It’s me, Junior Sister, how do you feel?” Wen Xingwen asked concernedly.

“I feel—”

Song Ling’s gaze shifted, and before he finished speaking, he saw Ji Yuxi standing expressionlessly to the side. Immediately, an extremely terrified expression appeared on his face. As he trembled and recoiled, he shrieked, “Second Senior Sister, I know I was wrong! I’ll give you the cave mansion token, please don’t kill me.”
