Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 21: Shamelessly Living Off Others

In a quiet courtyard.

Inside the study, Qin Muling finished drinking the spirit wine in the jade cup, lowered his head, and continued flipping through the books in his hand. There was still a large pile of them on the desk.

The information recorded in these scrolls was all about various demonic creatures outside the city, as well as many special products and resources of Linzhou. They had been stored in the city lord's mansion and some of the more important content was classified. If ordinary disciples wanted to read them, they had to exchange them with merits and contributions.

Of course, with the command of the senior sister, Qin Muling effortlessly obtained all the information he wanted to see. As for the required merits, they were naturally deducted from the merits accumulated by the two senior sisters.

"Senior Brother Qin, the 'Azure Sea Tide' you wanted is here."

An inner disciple named Jin Xia stood at the door, holding a tray adorned with gold and jade, and softly reported.

"Mm, bring it in."

Qin Muling looked up and found that this girl was from the senior sister's side, so he nodded.

Jin Xia walked in with the tray and gently placed it on the desk in front of him. Inside the tray was an exquisite white jade wine pot, not very large, holding at most two or three liters.

Qin Muling poured himself a cup, the pale blue liquid emitting a rich fragrance. As he sipped it slowly, he could faintly hear the sound of the sea waves and the majestic spiritual energy surging into his meridians and organs like rolling tides.

"The taste is good, but the quantity is a bit lacking. Bring two more pots and some snacks and side dishes to go with the wine. Don't bother bringing anything that's too bad!" Qin Muling calmly gave his instructions.

"Uh... Alright!"

Jin Xia nodded in a daze, feeling a bit distressed. This high-grade spirit wine was not cheap. In the market outside, a small cup would cost at least a hundred Middle Grade spirit stones. Otherwise, one would have to exchange it with merits in the storeroom. Ordinary core disciples simply didn't have the conditions to drink so openly.

Therefore, all the expenses Qin Muling had now were all accounted for by the two senior sisters.

They willingly paid for Qin Muling's expenses, taking care of his clothing, food, shelter, and various expenses. They didn't mind, nor did they want this junior brother to mind.

Therefore, Qin Muling now enjoyed the "financial support" from his senior sisters without any guilt, shamelessly living off them.

After a while, Jin Xia returned with all the wine, dishes, and snacks.

After she left, Qin Muling began to enjoy the food and wine while thinking about the matter of leaving the city for training. Of course, the third senior sister, Qi Yalan, was currently busy, so he had to wait for her to come back before they could set off together.

Outside the courtyard gate.

Twelve inner disciples with cold expressions stood on the steps, their spiritual weapons shimmering with a faint cold light. Behind them stood a long row of tall and sturdy Daoist puppets, each of them wearing heavy armor and looking as strong as bears, completely blocking the main entrance.

A group of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace disciples stood about three feet away from the steps, their expressions unfriendly as they confronted them.

"...Do you even know who I am?"

"...How dare you stop me? Aren't you afraid of provoking Elder Xingyun's anger?"

"...I just want to have a chat with Junior Brother Qin, we are all core disciples of the sect, he wouldn't refuse to see me, right?"

"...Aren't you core disciples yet? How dare you even stop me? Just because you have the senior sister behind you? Acting so arrogantly, does she really think she's the heir to the sect?!"

Various accusations, threats, and temptations echoed one after another, but the female disciples guarding the gate remained unmoved, their aura heavy and solemn.

"Sisters, what are you trying to do?"

Jin Xia's voice came from inside the gate. "This is the temporary dojo of the senior sister. If you insist on barging in without permission, do you think the rules of the sect are just for show?"

Seeing her appear, several female disciples below became excited and started talking all at once, obviously familiar with each other.

Jin Xia smiled mockingly. "I didn't see you all being so concerned about the senior sister before. Now, one by one, you're all rushing over to show your courtesy just because Qin Muling is here?"

"The senior sister has given orders for Qin Muling to cultivate in seclusion and not be disturbed by any outsiders. Sisters, you don't need to worry about it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples below couldn't help but look displeased.

A delicate and beautiful woman, like a precious jade, coldly said, "I am also a core disciple of the sect, with the same status as the senior sister. Why does she refuse to let me see Qin Muling?"

Jin Xia sneered, "Yes, we are all core disciples, but you want to question the senior sister's decision? Wait until your cultivation surpasses hers before saying such things!"

Core disciples are also divided into three levels, and the standard for this classification is their level of cultivation. Although high-level disciples cannot do whatever they want to low-level disciples, their status and level of attention in the eyes of the higher-ups in the sect are definitely different.

The woman's eyes became even colder, and she placed her hand on the hilt of her waist: "You are just a disciple of the inner sect. How dare you speak disrespectfully to me? Do you really think I won't take action?"

Jin Xia's smile remained unchanged: "Of course, I dare not offend Senior Sister Longxin. It's just that Senior Sister said it herself, anyone who dares to forcefully intrude, regardless of their status, will inevitably face severe punishment, even the core disciples are no exception!"

She took out a palm-sized, purple jade token with a faint purple glow, and shook it, her voice turning cold: "This is the token of the Supreme Sect Master. If Senior Sister wants to do something, it's best to think twice!"

"You..."

The expressions of the disciples below suddenly changed, and their momentum weakened.

If they could rely on their numbers to cause some trouble earlier, it was now impossible to continue to make trouble. Offending Senior Sister and offending the Supreme Sect Master were two completely different things. Even the high-ranking and influential core elders did not have the confidence to openly question the authority of the Supreme Sect Master.

In the end, the core disciple Longxin flicked her sleeve in anger and left, leaving the remaining disciples to disperse reluctantly.

Half an hour later, a fierce sword aura, tens of thousands of feet long, like a rainbow descending from the sky, slightly hovering, landed in the courtyard where Qin Muling was.

As the sword aura dissipated, the graceful and elegant Qi Yalan appeared, her round and slender jade legs moving gracefully as she walked into the room.

When Qin Muling saw her coming in, he smiled and pointed to a pot of spirit wine on the table: "Is everything taken care of? Then let's set off later. This is for you."

Qi Yalan nodded and picked up the wine pot to pour herself a cup, pushing the rest towards Qin Muling: "This thing doesn't have much effect on me anymore, but you should drink more. It's beneficial for cultivation."

Qin Muling didn't refuse and stored the spirit wine in his spatial storage bracelet.

After drinking the wine, Qi Yalan reached out and wrapped her jade hand around his waist. With a slight thought, a dazzling sword rainbow enveloped the two of them as they soared into the sky, passing through the light curtain of the protective city formation, and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The scenery before their eyes changed, and when Qin Muling's vision returned to normal, they were already hundreds of miles away in mid-air, and the familiar city had turned into a tiny dot at the edge of their vision.

"How is it?"

Qi Yalan asked with a smile beside him. The two of them were currently standing on a flying sword, but the size of the flying sword was a bit small, so Qin Muling had to stand close to his senior sister's voluptuous and hot figure and be embraced by her to maintain stability.

Of course, the reason Qi Yalan was willing to hold him was only to prevent her junior brother from accidentally falling off, and not because of any other thoughts. She was very certain that she really didn't think too much about it.

Living closely with my senior sister, the familiar scent lingers delicately in the air, transmitted through the smooth fabric, the astonishing elasticity of her fair skin feels real and indescribable.

The sky is gloomy, beneath it lies a dark and desolate land, empty and devoid of human presence, with a faintly eerie and lifeless atmosphere, carrying a pungent smell in the air.

On the vast ground, there is not a lack of vitality, with numerous strange and unknown weeds and trees growing, occasionally accompanied by hoarse and low roars from a distance.

A mysterious mist, black and red intertwined, spreads across the surface, about thirty zhang thick, enveloping the vegetation and creatures from the Demon Realm underground. It has a severe distortion and interferes with the divine sense of cultivators. If cultivators below the Perfected Being Realm do not travel in groups, they are definitely in grave danger in such a place.

Under the erosion and nourishment of this mysterious mist, all creatures on the land have become unusually ferocious and bloodthirsty. They not only view human cultivators who intrude as enemies, but also constantly fight and kill each other. The defeated ones are ruthlessly devoured by the victors.

Several dozen li away, a terrifying and hideous demonic tree, over two hundred zhang tall, is roaring as it tightly entwines a python the size of a water bucket. The branches covered with suction cup tentacles fiercely tear apart the python's tough scales, gradually sucking dry and devouring its flesh and essence, leaving only an empty python skin hanging from the treetop.

Qin Muling quickly discerns that the environment here has been thoroughly polluted by demonic energy, becoming a paradise for those demonic creatures and anomalies, no longer suitable for humans or other normal beings to inhabit.

Floating in the clouds, with Qin Muling's current cultivation level, she occasionally catches sight of remnants of certain ruins on the wilderness and by the riverside. Some of the cities were extremely magnificent, allowing one to imagine how prosperous this void land used to be.

"What a pity!" Qin Muling sighs softly, "Is there no chance for this place to return to its original state?"

Qi Yalan shakes her head gently, "Very difficult. Look at this vast land, the mountains, rivers, and deep forests have all been completely occupied by the creatures from underground. It is not an easy task to exterminate them, let alone after killing them, purifying the remaining demonic energy pollution. This is beyond the ability of our sect."

Perhaps in certain super sects, there are hidden treasures capable of changing the world and reversing the order of things, with the ability to purify the demonic energy across the entire continent and restore it to a fertile land suitable for all beings to live and multiply. However, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace definitely does not possess such treasures.

"Let's go down and take a look." Qin Muling suggests.

"Alright." Qi Yalan agrees, controlling the flying sword to lower its altitude, hovering in the air several zhang above the dense mist on the ground.

As if sensing the presence of intruders, the mist below suddenly churns and boils, and dozens of crimson lightning bolts shoot out, directly targeting the two of them.
