Spirit Cultivation

"Boss… You were so rough last night yet you called me tonight as well. Hehe, I can barely move after just one night…" 

A voluptuous lady walked inside a bedroom, her body barely covered with little to none clothes on her. The boss she talked to was sitting in front of a desk, rubbing his forehead while looking at the few documents. 

When he saw her, he brightened, beckoning her to come over. 

"Good, you are finally here. I need to release my stress," the Boss called out, spreading his legs apart without even standing up from the chair. "Suck me off for now."

The lady didn't seem to mind his imperious tone and hopped towards him happily, kneeling in front of him. "We are not going to move to the bed? My knees will hurt later…"

Ah!

The Boss pulled on her hair, bringing her closer to his crotch. "Since when did I care about your knees? I'm busy. You will suck while I work." 

"Yes, Boss…" the lady replied with a forced smile, acting numb to his aggressive behavior. 

She grabbed onto his pants, ready to work when a sudden explosion scared her.

Bang!

The ground shook, making both her and the chair shiver. 

Thud!

The Boss pushed her to the side as he stood up, called out angrily at the door, "What is going on there?!"

There was always a guard in front of the Boss bedroom who immediately entered inside at the call. 

His panicked face was more than enough to show something wasn't right. 

"Boss! We are under atta—" the man cried out when a sudden arrow pierced through the back of his head, not even letting him finish the sentence. 

Thud. 

His body fell to the floor, lifeless. 

Screams and the sounds of battle flooded the bedroom, scaring both the Boss and lady on the floor, already ashen on her face.

"Fuck!" The Boss cursed, pulling out his sword and rushed towards the door, the only exit of the room. 

Even if he couldn't defeat the attackers, he could at least escape. 

Swoosh! Swoosh!

He didn't even take two steps when two arrows covered in Qi entered through the door, forcing him to dodge to the side. 

Silence. 

The screams of death ended just as soon as they started. Aside from occasional sounds of battle in the side rooms, the whole main floor got wiped out within seconds. 

Sweat dripped from the Boss' forehead as he finally began to worry about his life. There was no way he can face an enemy who can defeat all his underling this fast. 

The lady on the floor gazed at the Boss and suddenly stood up, running towards the exit while screaming. 

"Help me! He is here! The Boss is here!" 

The Boss' eyes widened and he reacted instinctively, grabbing her by the hand. 

"Shut up you whore!" The Boss cursed at her, slamming her against the wall but she quickly picked herself up not bothered by the blood on her head.

"Aaaaaah!! Help! He is killing me!" She screamed, running out of the room when a cold female voice filled the hideout. 

"Don't worry… I know where he is…"

The lady stopped in front of big stairs that led to the lower floor and moved to the side, her face pale. 

Step. Step. Step. 

The female attacker steps were the only sound that resounded in the room. Her voice sounded familiar but the Boss couldn't remember where he heard it. 

Coldness.

Out of nowhere, the room temperature dropped drastically and everything covered with ice. 

Then he saw her face.

"It's you! How are you still alive?!" The Boss called out immediately, recognizing her. 

He knew something was up when the group didn't come back to the hideout for the night. Initially, he didn't worry as that happened often but now it was obvious they were dead already. 

The blond beauty in front of him was a live testimony that their mission failed. 

"So you do remember me? The woman you ordered your men to rape and kill?" the beauty asked. "That's good. It saves me trouble explaining why I came to kill you." 

The Boss frowned, regaining his confidence as he raised his sword. If it was just her, he could easily defeat her. 

"Pfft, just a pseudo-God Stage," the Boss commented sarcastically. "Die!" 

His body suddenly wrapped in shiny scaled armor and his sword lit up, releasing three dark green snakes that coiled around the blade. He didn't wait and launched an offensive, piercing in the beauty's direction.

The three snakes acted as alive, shooting forward with their poisonous fangs ready to bite. Strangely enough, the beauty wasn't even a bit scared. 

"Freeze!" 

She yelled only one word, not even pulling out her weapon, and everything turned into ice. 

The snakes became icicles and his body stiffened all over. 

"W-wha—" 

The Boss couldn't even defend, attacked from all sides by the cold and even his armor didn't save him, freezing completely. Even if his body wasn't really hurt, he couldn't move. 

Multiple layers of ice grew on top of each other, making him a big ice statue with only his head sticking out of it. 

"I guess I overestimated your power. All you can do is gang up in groups but when it comes to solo battles, you are useless. Your Artefacts can only help you so much," the beauty commented coldly, walking up to the Boss. 

"W-wait! You can't kill me! We are supported by Dark Fate Sect! They will find—" The boss tried to defend himself but he couldn't finish as ice covered his face, shutting him up.

Although he was locked, he was still alive but not for long. The beauty placed her hand on the ice and it invaded further, breaking through the Boss Armor. 

When he was frozen completely, she pushed the statue, letting it crash with the floor. 

Crack! 

The statue broke into hundreds of pieces. 

"Congrats Jiao. You got your little revenge." 

Another female voice resounded in the room as a woman with a painted scar on her eye entered inside. "You are strong. I like it." 

She carried a bow in her hand, smiling as she looked at Jiao's back. 

"He was weak," Jiao replied simply, walking towards one of the ice chunks, having the Boss' hand inside of it. 

"Don't look down on Heaven Realm cultivators. Those bandits are degenerates who didn't bother to cultivate their elements or simply didn't have the talent to do so. Their stages are low as well." 

"I know," Jiao muttered in agreement and ripped one of the fingers with her old ring on it before throwing the rest at the woman behind her. "You can take the rest Dandan. You didn't get to loot."

Dandan smiled and caught the ice chunk with a smile, not rejecting a free reward. 

"What are we doing with the girl?" Jiao asked curiously, gazing back at the naked lady only to find her on the floor, dead. 

"There are limits to bandit brutality too. They get bored of raping so they would rather have women who serve them instead, living with them with the sole purpose of pleasuring them. Those women get paid for their work and they exchange them every few months. It's quite a common practice in many bandit groups," Dandan explained. "They are part of the Bandits so they deserve to die." 

"Okay," Jiao acknowledged, not really bothered with that. 

Dandan suddenly recalled something and turned around, calling out to the rest. "You know the rules girls! Whatever you can find in the next five minutes, it's yours! First come, first served! Five minutes and we are leaving!" 

Other girls from the Sect already knew what they had to do, looting the whole hideout.

"You seem quite experienced. Death is not unfamiliar to you. That's exactly who we are looking for," Dandan pointed out. 

"I have seen enough to not be moved," Jiao nodded, checking her ring for any losses. 

Thankfully, almost nothing was touched. 

"I wonder, were you someone important in the Earth Realm? You seem to have some skills," Dandan asked curiously, taking the opportunity of their free time. 

Jiao shrugged and replied casually, pulling out her Sect Leader token, "Actually, I was a Sect Leader of White Lotus Sect."

"Hahaha! What a coincidence that we met! Now you can join White Lotus Sect once again!" Dandan replied, laughing earnestly. 

Jiao finally smiled at that. 

"I thought I already joined?"
