ALL NOVEL 011 Flower Goddess Valley
Li Daoming had returned.
Qin Wuyi was unsurprised at the fact that Li Daoming was caught, but instead felt it was longer than he expected — After all, according to his understanding of that Spirit-Kite Witch Yuanling, if ‘that one’ wanted to catch a low-realm cultivator in the secluded Flower Goddess Valley, spending even an hour of time would be too long.
“Surname Li, generation name1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_name Dao, specialising in spatial formation artes……the Li Family of the Central Plains?”
Qin Wuyi said no more, but the gears in his head turned silently.
In front of him, the drunk Jiangming was kneeling on the ground, rolling Li Daoming’s body around like a rolling pin, crying as he did so: “Brother Li! Are you alright? Please wake up! Don’t scare us! We don’t have the guts!”
“Cough cough, cough cough cough……bastard……Stop shuffling me……are you playing mahjong?!”
Li Daoming was originally somewhat okay, but after being shuffled on the courtyard steps by maximum strength Jiangming, his waist and back was in pain, his skin felt like it was burning, and he was fuming weakly.
“Hmph!”
Jiangming stopped, remembering that he had already drawn qi into his body, his chakras had activated, and his physical abilities were enhanced as a result. He hurriedly retracted his hands and guiltily said:
“I’m sorry, Brother Li. I was being rash just now, did I hurt you?”
Li Daoming didn’t bother answering. He struggled back up to a sitting position, then hatefully pulled off the white phoenix ornaments from his ears.
Only now did Jiangming finally noticed: Li Daoming had heavy makeup done on his face, and even his figure had also become much more ‘feminine’, with slender waist and wider hips like a wasp. The flowery dress blossomed between the knees, revealing white smooth calves underneath.
“Brother Li……have you already……tran-transformed……?”
Jiangming stammered as he asked, feeling an onset of fear. He was truly lucky, lucky that he wasn’t in the courtyard house at the time, lucky that he didn’t ran away with Li Daoming!
Otherwise, it would have been Qin Wuyi’s turn to say ‘elder sister Jiang’ today!
Li Daoming obviously wasn’t as strong-hearted as Qin Wuyi, but neither was he as weak-hearted as Jiangming. However, the experience of running away and getting caught had dealt a heavy blow to his psyche.
He raised his head in a daze, looking blankly at the sky. Then he let off a cold derisive “snort”, filled with despair and self-deprecation.
Tears flowed out like a spring, and although each word was said with laughter, with rage, in hysterics, there was an undercurrent of choking sorrow within.
“Do you think this would be enough to break me? You think just this would force me to submit?” He howled at the sky with his fists clenched, “Spirit-Kite Bitch! There will be a day! Even if I am castrated! Turned into a woman! I’ll still rape you a hundred times over! A hundred times!”
A dark cloud in the sky suddenly replied. An arrow made of black ice pierced straight through layers of dusk, sticking the landing with a “Thunk” right between Jiangming’s legs. If it was a single centimetre off, the newly returned little Jiang would have to announce early retirement.
Jiangming froze, or rather was scared stiff. Three seconds later, he fell backwards and collapsed to the ground.
“Oh my mother, he’s the one hurling obscenities. Why did you shoot me for, damn old auntie.”
“Don’t lie there and stand up, quickly. This arrow is melting. Seems to have something in it.” Qin Wuyi hurriedly pulled Jiangming up.
When Jiangming heard this, he instantly backflipped like a rat seeing a cat, landing a full five metres away. Qin Wuyi laughed at the sight, thinking that soft wimpy guy sure was type-casted well to be a male junior sister here.
The three stared at that pitch black ice arrow from a safe distance, only to see turbid grey fog and the melting ice formed a few words on the ground, and a pictogram.
[I’ll be waiting.🖕]
The fog dispersed, plants withering whether it spread, and any insects caught dying horrible deaths. A distinctly barren area was created, a live demonstration by the arrow’s owner.
“Is that an invocation?” Jiangming muttered, his eyes revealing both excitement and fear, “Amazing, if I can learn something like that, wouldn’t I be like Homelander? Killing whomever I want to kill, marrying however many young wives whenever I want?”
Qin Wuyi has never heard of this ‘Homelander’, but based on the spoken context, it’s clear he was a bastard who abused both men and women and does whatever he wanted. He shook his head:
“There is always a taller mountain out there, so stop dreaming. The path of the cultivator never ends, the higher you climb the more cautious you have to be. Even if you ascend to become Emperor, it only means you’ll have to guard against the whole world, fighting for that sliver of opportunity to become truly immortal.”
“I don’t have that much ambition, just being an invincible big fish in a small pond is enough for me.” Jiangming mumbled, “Even though Homelander can’t beat granddaddy Superman, that doesn’t stop him from bullying everyone else.”
“You’ve become a cultivator for the purpose of bullying others?” Qin Wuyi laughed.
“Can’t I?” Jiangming took the question seriously instead and tried to lay out his ‘great’ ideals: “Every breath of life should be lived with dignity, and this time around, my only ambition is to live a happy life! Whoever bullies me, I kill! Whoever pleases me, I love!”
“Them what if the same person both bullies and pleases you?” Qin Wuyi asked smilingly.
This complicated question overheated Jiangming’s CPU. Realising his pig brain will stay overloaded for a while and can’t think of any temporary comebacks, he went for a hard change in topic instead, “Stop talking about love and hate. Hurry up and see how Brother Li is doing, eh —— How did you get so injured?”
……It was difficult to think about how he almost accidentally scraped the poor patient on the ground to death.
Recalling what Jiangming did just recently, Li Daoming was still somewhat peeved, “Those steps were like a ridged washboard, and you were scrubbing me against them like a maniac scrubbing clothes.”
“This way I won’t be afraid of you being passed out for too long, hehe.” Jiangming scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Thanks, a bit more and I won’t be passed out — I’ll be passed away.” Li Daoming was dressed in women’s clothing, crimson lips pursed slightly, and that sultry little expression had became quite cute.
“Brother Li.” Qin Wuyi pulled the topic back on course again with a single sentence, “What did you discover during your escape attempt?”
“Heh, what did I discover? Quite a lot. For example, this shitty sect surprisingly wasn’t built on some regular mountain range, instead on forbidden land tainted by the Lust Demon Abyss — the legendary ‘Flower Goddess Valley’ barred from gods and devils alike.”
Li Daoming took a sip of tea, calming his unsettled heart, his hands trembling slightly. Finally, he gathered his courage and continued:
“I used my family heirloom device to teleport out of here, but instead of going back to the outside world, I was sent to the centre of the Flower Goddess Valley. There I encountered……plants that ‘eat people’.”
“Plants that eat people?” Jiangming was shocked, subconsciously reminded of those man-eating plants in Plants versus Zombies.
With a single chomp, it engulfed a man-sized zombie, savouring it slowly, making a cackling sound. A nice crunch, tasted like chicken.
Just imagining that scene, Jiangming’s face went white.
“Not that type of ‘eating’, I mean the other type of ‘eating’.” Noticing Jiangming’s obvious misunderstanding, Li Daoming’s face reddened instead as he explained, filled with shame and embarrassment.
“What other type of eating?” Jiangming froze up.
“Like how a man eats a woman. Innuendo for sex.” Qin Wuyi interjected coldly, switching to speaking plainly instead of just hinting at it.
“……Hah?” Jiangming was even more baffled.
Qin Wuyi had no choice but to explain in more detail: “Lust Demon Abyss, one of Zhenling Domain’s seven biohazardous forbidden areas. Whether it spreads, the surroundings become contaminated with the power of demonic lust.”
“All non-spiritual things, including mortal humans, fauna and flora and so on, once contaminated will be transformed into ‘Lust-Beasts’. Their strength would increase dramatically, their fleshly bodies would distort, their minds gone completely insane. And they will use any woman with spiritual power as seedbeds to breed more lust-beasts, causing the influence of the Lust Demon Abyss to continue expanding outwards.”
“Even some of the men with spiritual power defeated by those lust-beasts wouldn’t be wasted. They would be transformed into women, also to be used as seedbeds……”
