I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Chapter 32: Blood Spiraling Escape Technique

Wu Liu circled him like a ghost and floated in midair. Its cold palm pressed against Pei Ling’s face as she said softly, “Young master… What do you want to ask? No matter what you ask, remember that you can only ask one question. If you ask more, I will feel quite troubled… If that happens…”

She narrowed her eyes and gave a strange smile. “You won’t ever annoy me, right?”

Hearing this, Pei Ling asked without hesitation, “Miss Wuliu, I want to know how to earn tens of thousands of spirit stones quickly!”

“Tens of thousands of spirit stones?” Wu Liu seemed to choke for a moment before she laughed again. Her eyes curved into crescents as it said, “Why do you need to use your brain for such a small amount of spirit stones? Why don’t you ask my master for it?”

Pei Ling: “…”

Wu Liu continued, “You can also just slaughter a city and gather them.”

Pei Ling: “…”

Wu Liu went on, “Or you can also kill that girl you’ve been intimate with these few days and skin her for me. I can help you with it too. How about that?”

“…Miss Wuliu, you must be joking,” Pei Ling replied with a stiff expression.

Ask Fairy Li for spirit stones? Hohoho! It was already merciful enough of Fairy Li not to slap him to death!

As for massacring the city, that was something only a devil would do… Besides, even if he tried, was a mere cultivator at the fourth stage of Qi Refinement going to slaughter the city or die instantly?

And about skinning Chen Mei…

Thinking of this, Pei Ling seriously replied, “Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Chen, and the others are quite friendly to me. How can I repay kindness with ingratitude?”

“Friendly?” Wu Liu gave him a strange look and chuckled. “Hmm, that makes sense. You can think about it slowly.”

As she spoke, she turned into a black mist that dispersed away quickly.

Pei Ling frowned. Wu Liu gave him a strange look before she left, as if… she was watching a good show!

When he said that Chen Huan and Chen Mei were friendly to him, Wu Liu prepared to watch a good show?

In other words, not only were Chen Huan and Chen Mei not friendly to him in the eyes of Wu Liu, they even had ulterior motives?

Was everything that he had seen these few days part of the plan of this pair of siblings?

When he realized that, Pei Ling’s heart sank. He did not trust Wu Liu too much, but it was still related to his safety. He planned to find an opportunity to test Chen Huan and the others tomorrow. If there were any problems…

As he was thinking this, a booklet fell in front of him.

The system began to record the unfamiliar escape technique. At the same time, Wu Liu’s charming and cold voice sounded in his ear. “Master said that you have to master it in seven days. Otherwise, die!”

Pei Ling immediately returned to his senses. He pressed down on the hilt of his saber and walked over to pick it up, only to see that it was a handwritten booklet similar to the Blood Malevolence Saber Art.

Great, this is getting better.

He did not even know the name on the booklet.

What is that word after the ‘Blood’ this time?

A moment later, the system said, “Ding Dong! The unknown escape technique has been recorded. Host, please name it!”

“…Just call it the Blood Spiraling Escape Technique.” Pei Ling casually gave it a name, thinking about how it was some kind of Escape Technique that he had obtained in Spiraling Mountain City. There was nothing wrong with calling it the Blood Spiraling Escape Technique.

After he kept the booklet in his pocket, he saw the scenery around him sway slightly. The dilapidated courtyard filled with dust instantly transformed into a quiet garden decorated by plants. Moonlight poured onto the ground, causing a silvery frosty glow to cover the floor while insects chirped.

If not for the fact that he was in the courtyard and that the injuries on his body were still present, he would have suspected that the scene earlier was an illusion.

Meanwhile, Chen Huan’s place was silent, with only slight breathing sounds. From its location, the breathing came from a servant. On Huang Xian’s side, however, there were teasing and playful sounds. He was likely enjoying the service of a beautiful servant.

Clearly, be it Chen Huan or Huang Xian, they did not notice what happened at all. Even the owner of this mansion, City Lord Duanmu, was unaware of this event.

Wu Liu is too scary…

Pei Ling’s heart shivered. When he thought of Fairy Li, he felt a headache.

A mere ghost servant was so terrifying already. How terrifying would the master’s abilities be? Yet, that master was actually… Wait! He was also a victim in that incident!

Sighing deeply, Pei Ling shook his head.

He had two key things to do now. The first was to solve the fines problem as soon as possible, and the second was to find out the real purpose of the pair of siblings, Chen Huan and Chen Mei.

With this thought, Pei Ling quietly returned to his room.

He flipped through the booklet Wu Liu had just handed to him and did not dare use the system to cultivate immediately.

Wu Liu could come and go without a trace, treating City Lord Duanmu as nothing. Thus, he did not dare to use One-Click Management rashly.

Who knows if this retarded system will run to steal City Lord Duanmu’s things? Or will it pull Chen Mei to be my Dao partner? Or will it kill Chen Huan and the others for my Outer Malevolence?

He decided to find a secluded place to cultivate when he had the chance.

That night, nothing else happened. The morning after, after Pei Ling had breakfast, Chen Mei came to find him. She asked with a smile, “Junior Brother Pei, let’s rest for today. My brother and the rest had to prepare something before leaving the city, but we got nothing to do. What are your plans?”

“Senior Sister, my cultivation is low. I’m quite exhausted from traveling continuously, and I would like to rest for the day.” Pei Ling replied without batting an eyelid. “Of course, if you have anything you need, please feel free to tell me.”

Chen Mei’s eyebrows moved slightly as if she was elated. “No, no, I just came to ask you. Since you want to rest, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Then, she bade farewell and left.

After she left, Pei Ling suddenly turned to the maidservant packing the cutlery. “Is there any marketplace in Spiraling Mountain City that’s suitable for strolling around?”

The maid hurriedly put down the messenger in her hand and said, “In reply to Immortal Master, there is a market in the city, it is located…”

After hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly. He first had to prepare for the worst-case scenario: If Chen Huan and the others wanted to attack him, what should he do next?

It seemed feasible to flee directly, but it was a dead-end!

Chen Huan and the others must have something to rely on if they dared to leave him here alone.

Moreover, even if Chen Huan and the others hadn’t made any preparations, it was his first time in Spiraling Mountain City, and he was unfamiliar with the place. Moreover, his cultivation was two sub realms lower than Chen Huan’s. So how could he escape their pursuit?

If he could not flee normally…

There was only one way to break the situation, and that was to borrow the power of Wu Liu!

Indeed, Misty had promised him last night that she wanted Chen Mei’s skin…

With that thought, Pei Ling immediately made up his mind. He wanted to confirm whether Chen Huan and the others really had ill intentions towards him…

Therefore, Pei Ling instructed the maid not to tell Chen Mei about his whereabouts before he slipped out of the guest courtyard through the back door and headed for the market slowly.

…

Several hours later, outside Spiraling Mountain City. In a peach blossom forest that stretched for a hundred miles, Xiao Tasha closed her eyes. The array disc in front of her floated in the air as she formed hand seals. After a moment, the array disc fell into her hands. She opened her eyes and shook her head helplessly. “No! The Yang Qi in this forest is too strong, and it’s conflicting with the Soul Summoning Banner! Although it’s not impossible to set up the Soul Devouring Mother Array, the souls extracted will probably be damaged, which won’t do any good for improving the Soul Summoning Banner.

“Then what do we do?” Huang Xian frowned. “Didn’t you solemnly promise that there would be no problem?”

“This is our first time here. How would Junior Sister Xiao know that this isn’t a suitable place?” Chen Huan hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “Mount Spiral is vast, so let’s find another place.”

Huang Xian was still not satisfied. “We are all here to set up the array while that kid is staying in the city alone. If we delay any longer, there better not be any accidents.”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Huang. Nothing will go wrong,” Chen Mei said. “I placed the Thousand Li Incense on him a few days ago. That punk will not be able to escape the pursuit of the Tracking Bee within a thousand miles!”

As she spoke, she pointed at an insect on her sleeve. It was shaped like a bee, but it was the size of a thumb. It looked only somewhat similar to ordinary bees, and its mouthpart seemed especially ferocious.

However, it was very tame under Chen Mei’s hand as it affectionately rubbed its head against her fingertips.

Huang Xian did not say anything else when he saw the Tracking Bee. Meanwhile, Xiao Tasha felt ashamed. She lowered her head and studied the map for a while. Suddenly, she exclaimed in surprise, “This way! There’s a canyon here, and it should be fine from the looks of it..”
