Chapter 14: The First-Ever Yao Pool Holy Maiden, Too Ashamed to Face the World
“Sis~ Isn’t it cute?”
Little Wushi, upon seeing Shaohua, ran over with his tiny legs, his big, sparkling eyes twinkling like fragments of stars, bright and radiant.
Shaohua was stunned. What an adorable little girl. Wait, who dressed her in a little dress?
She sighed softly, then turned to the two little girls and asked, “Who dressed him in this?”
The two girls exchanged glances, then in unison, they both claimed it was their doing.
Indeed, they were all accomplices.
But it was unclear who had the idea first.
“It was the big sisters together,” Little Wushi raised his hand, clearly remembering how he was put into the dress.
It was only because Wushi was so young, pure as a blank sheet of paper, that they could get away with it. Otherwise, once he started to understand the world, he would know this was a dark chapter in his history.
One could only hope the child’s memory wasn’t too good.
But this was Wushi.
“...”
Shaohua was speechless. Although Little Wushi was incredibly cute, soft and pink, you can’t just do things I haven’t done yet!
Well, actually, she had always wanted to do this, but with her parents still around on Kunlun Mountain, there was no opportunity to carry it out. Otherwise, she would have faced a double team from her parents.
Fortunately, she acted quickly, taking out her treasured Soulstone to record this moment as soon as she had the chance.
“This is a one-time thing, no repeats, okay?” Shaohua’s face showed feigned helplessness as she leaned down to warn the two little girls.
But in her heart, she had a different plan, determined to refine a few more dresses for Wushi to wear.
Hehehe, Little Wushi, you can’t escape your big sister’s grasp!
Wushi: A sudden wave of inexplicable malice washed over him.
He instinctively clung tighter to his big sister, seeking more security.
But at his young age, he couldn’t possibly understand where this malice was coming from.
It was like leading a lamb to the slaughter, destined to be at Shaohua’s mercy.
Little Wushi was so adorable. At just one year old, he was gender-neutral, quickly winning the hearts of all the female cultivators in the Yao Pool Holy Land, becoming the beloved mascot of the entire sanctuary.
Truly, Wushi was the Great Elder Wushi, excelling in every aspect, even in being adored.
Even Shaohua couldn’t help but marvel: In the realm of cross-dressing, who can surpass Wushi?
Then, when the Western Emperor and Consort finally shook off their two clingy companions and returned from their happy cosmic vacation, they discovered their beloved son was missing, and the Yao Pool Holy Land had a new “Holy Maiden.”
Yes, this was Shaohua’s doing.
As everyone knows, the Yao Pool Holy Land is entirely inhabited by female cultivators, so Wushi had to be the one to take on this role.
Decided, you are the First-Ever Yao Pool Holy Maiden.
Just hoping that in the future, Wushi’s shame in facing the world isn’t because of this dark history.
“Son, your father is back... Uh?!” Wuning circled the finely carved Little Wushi several times, her forehead gradually creasing into a frown.
Her fists clenched tightly.
Did you hear that? The sound of boiling blood!
The Western Emperor moved even faster, brandishing the Immortal's Tear Green Gold Pagoda like a mace, and kicked open Shaohua’s door.
She had only been gone for two months. She couldn’t imagine what Wushi might have become if she had been away longer.
But Shaohua was no ordinary person. She had foreseen the danger and vanished the moment her parents stepped into the Yao Pool Holy Land.
“Mother, don’t be angry. Sister is very kind to me, and I look really good this way,” Little Wushi said, his innocent face filled with sincerity.
He wasn't born with innate knowledge, but he was naturally intelligent and knew very well who truly cared for him. After all, it was just a little dress; if it made his sister happy, what did it matter?
The Western Emperor and Consort were taken aback. Their son, only one year old, already understood such principles, which was truly unexpected.
Fortunately, he was their child, and the more extraordinary, the better.
"You truly are a good little brother. I haven't wasted my affection on you!" Shaohua suddenly ran back and picked up Little Wushi, planting a kiss on his face.
"You ran pretty fast just now, so why did you come back?"
Mother’s lips curved slightly, her phoenix eyes sparkling with a gentle beauty, but her smile now carried a hint of mischief, making one feel a chill down their spine.
Shaohua sensed something was amiss, furrowed her brows, and silently retreated behind Little Wushi, shielding him.
However, Little Wushi was still shorter than her calf, and even her skirt couldn't fully cover him.
"Shaohua!"
Father's eyes flashed, his gaze as brilliant as the sun, emitting two terrifying beams that struck Shaohua directly.
Little Wushi quickly turned around, only to find that the spot where his sister had been standing was now empty, leaving behind only a fading afterimage, and the echo of her voice lingering in his ears.
"Welcome back, no need to see me off."
"..."
Father gritted his teeth, watching Little Wushi who was about to cry, feeling increasingly angry, thinking his little sweetheart was starting to slip away.
"An incredible feat, involving the transformation of space and time. Even I was misled by it", the Western Emperor marveled.
The two of them then comforted Little Wushi. Over the next year, the family of three enjoyed a period of blissful harmony.
What was Shaohua doing?
Of course, she had ventured to the Central Plains—ahem, to the Northern Plains, directly reaching the center of the ice field in the Arctic. Dressed in a green robe, she carried a celestial sword, her mind and body at peace, and arrived at the most mysterious ancient land on this ice field.
Ultimately, she entered the ancient celestial pool that gave birth to the Arctic Immortal Light, hoping to find a strand of the light. Nothing could stop her as she followed a broken path to immortality, her sword in hand, carving through chaos, and reopening the way.
This path to immortality had existed for millions of years, and there had been a supreme figure who had tried to break through to the Immortal Domain from here. Some scattered immortal auras and auspicious mists remained, sealed in chaos, occasionally leaking out a strand to be obtained by the fortunate.
Shaohua dug diligently for a year, unsure whether her luck was good or bad, but she managed to find five strands of Arctic Immortal Light. Each strand was like a spiritual dragon, several dozen feet long, undulating and emitting a misty immortal aura.
Her harvest was not limited to this. She also unearthed a divine stele underground, which recorded an ancient scripture of great importance.
This was the Celestial Art created by the Silent Sovereign, and from it, she obtained the Nine Mysteries' Approach, which she had long desired.
"Ah, so the Approach Character Secret serves to strengthen one's essence and fortify the body. It is indeed a divine technique for refining the body!" Shaohua murmured to herself, having grasped its true essence.
"The 'Approach' refers to drawing in essence, laws, and even destiny from the outside world and channeling them into oneself."
This technique aligned with the way of heaven, taking from the abundant to make up for the deficient, gathering the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen oneself, embodying supreme dominance and plunder.
Indeed, the Nine Mysteries represented the pinnacle of cultivation in various fields, and it was fitting that there should be a technique to strengthen the body. However, the Approach Character Secret was not specifically created for this purpose; its main function was to enhance one's essence.
This was somewhat similar to the Front Character Secret, which was originally a technique for cultivating divine consciousness but, when mastered to the extreme, could grant the ability to glimpse the future, extending into other realms.
Stay healthy and live long, love you all!
