Chapter 19: Whose Dao Companion Is She Really?

Lin Mo rubbed his nose. Since when was someone at the Qi Refinement Stage considered a grand Cultivator?

Isn't someone with this level of cultivation just cannon fodder?

Still, Lin Mo wanted to find a few teammates. In case of danger, he could hide behind them and give his Fellow Daoists more opportunities to shine.

After thinking it over, Lin Mo said, "Since Fellow Daoist Li invites me so warmly, I shall respectfully accept."

Zhao Gang burst out laughing. "That's how it should be! As Loose Cultivators out in the world, we ought to look out for each other."

With the team formed, the group became even more warm and friendly toward one another.

However, Lin Mo remained on guard against them. After all, this was their first meeting, and there were plenty of people with ill intentions in the cultivation world.

After drinking a few more pots of wine, as it was getting late, Zhao Gang patted Lin Mo's shoulder and said, "Fellow Daoist, let's call it a day. Tomorrow, after we kill the Yao Beasts, we'll drink together again."

Lin Mo's nose twitched as he caught a strange fragrance, but he kept an unreadable expression and replied, "We shall set out together tomorrow, then."

Lin Mo had read about that fragrance in the ancient texts of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect.

Beast Attracting Powder—non-toxic, with a subtle scent, possessing a fatal attraction for low-tier Yao Beasts.

Meanwhile, outside the county magistrate's office, Liu Ruyue rushed over and finally arrived at the entrance.

However, since she hadn't accepted the demon extermination quest and immortal Cultivators were guarding the outside, it wasn't easy for her to go straight in.

She could only crouch nearby, fuming and muttering under her breath, "Damned Lin Mo! I'm drawing circles to curse you! Just wait until this Young Miss catches you, I'll teach you a lesson!"

…

Night fell, and Lin Mo used a Spell to silently cleanse the Beast Attracting Powder from his body.

He softly pressed his ear against the wall.

"Good Junior Sister, your Senior Brother missed you so much! Come and get intimate with me."

Lin Mo heard Wang Ying laugh lasciviously. "Senior Brother, what's the rush? You haven't told me yet, how do you plan to deal with that Cultivator Lin Mo?"

Zhao Gang said smugly, "A kid from the outer sect of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect, what trouble could he possibly stir up? I've already sprinkled Beast Attracting Powder on him. When the time comes, we'll just use him as cannon fodder to feed the demon wolves."

Wang Ying cooed seductively, "Senior Brother is still the best, so thoughtful."

Before long, moans began to echo through the room. The cheap, slutty sounds made Lin Mo wince in disgust.

Still, it confirmed his suspicions: these people harbored malicious intent.

Knowing their plan, Lin Mo didn't want to bother with them anymore, though Wang Ying's moans were ridiculously loud.

To his surprise, it wasn't long before the next room quieted down.

Zhao Gang yawned and said, "For some reason, I suddenly feel so tired… Yingying, I'm going to sleep first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gang collapsed into a deep sleep.

Wang Ying spat and complained, "Useless trash! Just a few thrusts and you're done?"

A dark figure slipped past Lin Mo's door and opened the door next door.

As soon as the person entered, Lin Mo heard the sound of passionate kissing.

"Senior Sister, I missed you so much!"

Wang Ying poked Li He's forehead with her finger and said, "You heartless little thing, coming only now! Keep it down, don't wake up this useless piece of trash."

Li He said triumphantly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I gave him knock-out powder long ago. He'll sleep like a log for at least six hours."

Wang Ying hugged Li He and said, "Then what are you waiting for? I missed you so much, Senior Sister is itching all over!"

Li He was like an undefeated general receiving his orders, plowing away furiously.

After a loud, climaxing moan, the two seemed exhausted.

Li He whispered, "Senior Sister, don't worry. I've already made an agreement with Senior Ma Zhen. Tomorrow when we go slaughter the wolf demons, the two of us will join forces to kill Zhao Gang, and then we can be together forever."

Wang Ying said, overcome with emotion, "Junior Brother, you have no idea how long I've waited for this day."

But while an ox can die of exhaustion, a field never gets plowed to death; after a short while, Li He fell asleep and snored rhythmically.

The door to Wang Ying's room opened again, and she said lazily, "Senior Brother Ma, you've arrived."

Ma Zhen chuckled, "Little lady, you certainly kept me waiting!"

Wang Ying rolled her eyes and retorted, "What, you're unwilling? Aren't you the one getting the bargain in the end?"

Ma Zhen nodded repeatedly, "Willing, willing! I dream of flying side by side with you, my little lady! Tomorrow, we'll kill Lin Mo first, then Zhao Gang, then Li He. When that time comes, all their spiritual materials will be ours, and you can join the Chuanxiao Sect with me. Achieving Foundation Establishment won't be out of reach!"

Wang Ying said gently, "I'm just a weak woman, I'll listen to Senior Brother Ma in everything. I only want to be an immortal couple with you."

Another round of heavy panting commenced, shattering Lin Mo's worldviews into pieces.

Although Lin Mo had felt during the day that Wang Ying was no ordinary trouble, actually witnessing it was mind-bogglingly outrageous.

Once Ma Zhen finished as well, the two went through the trouble of carrying Li He back to his room, and Ma Zhen went back to his own room to sleep.

The rest of the night passed in silence, as if nothing had happened.

The next day, Lin Mo looked at Wang Ying with a complex expression. Such a woman who turned down no takers was truly rare in the cultivation world.

Noticing Lin Mo's gaze, Wang Ying showed no embarrassment at all; instead, she winked at him flirtatiously.

It gave Lin Mo a wave of disgust, terrified that some virus might spread through eye contact.

As the one with the highest cultivation, Ma Zhen took the lead and spoke: "Fellow Daoists, let us set off together for West Mountain. There are around twenty demon wolves over there. If we're fast, we can slaughter them all in a single day."

The remaining Cultivators agreed one after another, and Lin Mo concurred as well, since he was here to hunt demon wolves in the first place.

Ma Zhen took out a Low Grade flying boat Magical Artifact and said, "Ride on my flying artifact, we can get there faster. I spent a fortune in the market to get this 'pre-owned by a beauty, excellent condition' flying artifact."

Lin Mo's mouth twitched. "Pre-owned by a beauty"?

Passed through a hundred hands, more like. This wasn't a flying artifact, it was practically a retired bus!

The surface of Ma Zhen's flying boat was damaged, many flying Formations were ruined, and it couldn't even perform basic hovering, swaying unsteadily like a drunk fish.

Li He even stepped forward to flatter him, "Who would have thought Fellow Daoist Ma was so wealthy as to own a Low Grade flying artifact!"

It was just like car owners: no matter how clunky the car, there would always be poor enough people to envy it.

Zhao Gang chimed in with butt-kissing, "Not only does Fellow Daoist Ma possess profound cultivation, but you also have such wealth. Foundation Establishment is just around the corner for you!"

Ma Zhen felt smug internally, thinking, "My wealth will be even greater soon. Once I kill all of you, I can sleep with your Dao Companion every day."

The group boarded the flying artifact one by one. Ma Zhen looked at Lin Mo and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, hurry up and get on! Though this flying artifact is crude, it can still help us save our spiritual energy."

An inadvertent look of disgust flashed through Lin Mo's eyes. "Fellow Daoist, I have my own flying artifact, so I won't trouble you."

That subtle look in Lin Mo's eyes was caught right by Ma Zhen.
