ALL NOVEL 012 Li’s Misérables
“Hah?”
Jiangming was petrified. Lust-Beasts? Seedbeds? Mother-be-damned, not even the men are spared?
Are you sure I’ve transmigrated to a cultivation world? It’s not some weird [Crimson Cultivation Legend]1Referencing a real porn game in development, Scarlet Cultivation Record or 緋色修仙錄 or [Sacrificial Holy Maiden Jiang Mingzi] type of porn game setting, right?
“Th-Th-Then what about that Flower Goddess Valley?”
Hearing Jiangming ask further questions, Qin Wuyi lowered his head to think for a few seconds, but he still ended up explaining at length:
“Flower Goddess Valley……It was said to have originated back when Joyous Union Sect was first setting up a branch here on Baiyun Continent. The wife of the first Sect Master stole away a portion of lust demon power, infusing it into her garden for her own enjoyment, but eventually it spiraled out of her control and became the way it is today.”
“The reason she did it was probably to have a good time, but she unexpectedly misjudged. Over six hundred years of her lifespan were then fully dedicated to becoming a mother of lust-beasts, turning Flower Goddess Valley from a small garden to a sea of flowers thousands of acres in size. The first Sect Master got so angry that she was just left there.”
“It’s no secret that Joyous Union Sect is located within Flower Goddess Valley, but few outsiders knew the more specific details.”
“According to what I’ve heard, there are two especially strange plants in the Valley. The first is the ‘Nightjoy Fiendflower’, considered the queen of flowers. They specialise in inflicting bewitching dreams, feeding on men’s essence and women’s milk. They could even cultivate, transforming themselves into stunningly beautiful fairies mesmerising to all, their bodies entwined with alluring flowery vines that enticed others to sin.”
“The other is called the Nirvana Sacred Tree. It is said if a person was thrown inside and swallowed by the tree, no matter how injured they were, how untalented they were, or even what their original gender was, seven days later they will reemerge as beautiful girls with excellent spiritual roots, alive and well.”
“The problem is that within the tree, those thrown in would be subject to inhuman humiliation that they could never forget, and they would also be completely filled up with the tree’s spores by the end. The spores are difficult to remove, and the least troublesome way is having them gestate inside the body and peacefully give birth.”
“And those transformed women would always remember the sacred tree. Every once in a while, they’ll go back to look for it, and let those tree vines……Ahem, anyways, they’ll come back out with a belly full of spores again.”
“In their communities, those women obsessed with the pleasure of giving birth to tree-spawn are often called ‘Tree Slaves’.”
Telling these unbelievable stories out loud, it was as if Qin Wuyi opened all his reserves of words hoarded deep within. One paragraph after another, he spoke smoothly like an unceasing stream.
The more Jiangming listened, the wider his eyes became, especially when he heard about those ‘two strange plants’, by then even his mouth was wide open — Nightjoy Fiendflower? Nirvana Sacred Tree?
What the devil are those things!
Sure enough, the distinctive style of the Joyous Union Sect stood well apart, and downwind, from all the other sects!
Li Daoming listened silently until the end, when his expression became quite complicated, as if he had something to say and yet couldn’t do so. Only after a long while did he stammer out the words:
“That Nirvana Tree……seemed to be what I encountered.”
“Eh???”
Jiangming was destined to spend most of today wide-eyed in shock, it seemed.
For some reason, he was actually a bit curious — what it was like to be ‘Brother Li’, getting swallowed up by that sacred tree and then mercilessly abused.
Was it painful??
It doesn’t seem like it, looking at the colour on Brother Li’s face. That doesn’t seem like recalling a painful memory.
Besides, if being vored by that tree was that painful, would those ‘tree slaves’ willingly go back and throw themselves at the tree?
Could it be…...it’s actually quite pleasurable?
Jiangming’s face suddenly turned red, and he gently pinched his thighs to interrupt his thoughts from moving toward an unhealthy direction. It was also strange, that such an impetuous imagined scenario had him involuntarily erecting a flagpole.
And the rifle seemed to have an especially hard kick today.
“That Spirit-Kite Bitch obviously saw me getting ‘eaten’ by that tree, but she didn’t come save me. She deliberately waited for me to be abused by that tree for an entire day and night, and only then, only then did she fish me back out.”
Li Daoming gritted his teeth, emotionally accusing Elder Yuanling of many unrighteous acts, such as forcing him to wear women’s clothes, jewellery and makeup after fishing him out, as well as mocking the symbol of his manhood that had almost disappeared.
“That bitch……said something like, about how I was already stuffed full of tree spores and have to obediently listen to her, if I don’t want to die from tree-spawn bursting out of my chest and stomach.”
“And that medicine to repel those spores, that bitch said, ‘the intestines can absorb it more effectively’, and then intentionally made it gourd-shaped, and forced me, forced me to……”
As he mentioned that ‘spore repellent’, Li Daoming unconsciously clenched his buttocks and looked as if he was in unbearable agony.
“She also said that I walked too forcefully and could crush her precious medicine, which would be wasteful. So, she made me wear those phoenix ornaments. If I don’t walk like a lady with small, sluggish steps, they’ll electrocute me.”
“She even forbade me from taking a flying boat or renting a flying sword, forcing me to walk back on two feet. Not only this, but every time we enter another city, she went around publicising the scandalous story of me being caught by that tree and having a bellyful of spores stuffed into me.”
“On the road here, I don’t know how many people were looking at me, laughing behind my back.”
As he finished recounting his miserable ordeal, Li Daoming had already become a fountain of tears, silently sobbing.
Jiangming could completely imagine how seriously traumatising the tragic encounters of the last few days were to this formerly macho man.
“That Elder Yuanling……I couldn’t have imagined her to be so malicious.” Jiangming couldn’t help but lament, while thinking in his heart: absolutely make sure not to cross that elder in the future.
“That Spirit-Kite Bitch is just a pervert! No! All those transformed women are perverts! This entire Joyous Union Sect is just a mother-loving whorehouse full of perverts!” Li Daoming was so enraged that his shoulders couldn’t stop shaking.
Jiangming nodded his agreement with deep conviction.
After he nodded, he turned to look at Qin Wuyi, finding that the other party just seemed distracted.
Jiangming elbowed Qin Wuyi twice, reminding him: “Brother Qin, aren’t you going to say a few words about all this?”
Having said that — He was actually hinting at Qin Wuyi to help out on reassuring their ‘Brother’ Li, who had been ‘fowled’ by life’s nonsense to the point of losing his fowl.
After all, Brother Li became so miserable……while the two of them had spent the last few days living life peacefully, eating venison and drinking spirit wine, so happy as if they have never experienced stress in life.
Okay, except for that yandere senior sister and the sect exam, but Jiangming really don’t have any other stress-inducing factors right now.
Not having to worry about having three meals a day or not, nor worry about not being able to pay the monthly grain tax as a destitute farmer. This current life, even if he must become a woman, Jiangming wasn’t willing to give it up.
Of course.
If his little Jiang could keep its post, that would be best!
Unfortunately, for the sake of cultivation, he’ll need to offend little comrade Jiang to hibernate for at least twelve hours every day.
Offering its empty post to the new arrival ‘sister Jiang’.
In the face of that weeping ‘Brother Li’, Qin Wuyi shook his head, and haven’t the heart to offer any comforting words, preoccupied with his thoughts. He was always like this, mysterious and secretive, getting along well with you on the surface, but not living under the same sky after all.
After calming Li Daoming down, Jiangming was both physically and mentally exhausted, and went back to have some much-needed rest.
The next morning, he closed the door to his room, immediately used ‘Turn Yin Method’ to turn back into a woman, fully dedicated to cultivating.
Jiangming could finally see that now, this entire Joyous Union Sect was indeed sick in the head! Passing the sect exam would merely mark the beginning of her struggles.
She must continue to work hard, cultivating to the highest stages, mastering powerful spells, learning unusual feats. Like that Song Tianxing, standing tall at the top of that ‘senior brother’s peak’, beating all the male cultivators convincingly.
Only in this way could she truly control her own destiny, not to be preyed upon by those strange creatures, but also avoid all the perverts' prying eyes within the sect itself.
