Chapter 11: The Two Women Form an Alliance
As Yan Zhen’s “good sister,” Ji Ya had met many Mystic Saints in her previous life, including Yi Xian’er, who would eventually reach that realm. However, most were merely acquaintances. The ones she was truly familiar with were his two “younger sisters” and Chen Xi.
More importantly, most Mystic Saints didn’t reside within the Seven Continents of the Mystic Heaven Realm. They were concentrated on the Eighth Continent, the gateway to the Outer World.
There were very few Mystic Saints in the entire Jia Lan(Azure Lotus) Continent. How could Yi Xian’er possibly know one?
“You’re quite the joker, Little Sister Xian’er. Did you perhaps receive a Mystic Saint’s inheritance in a dream?”
“No, she told me herself.”
Ji Ya’s eyebrow twitched.
“Oh? Who is this Mystic Saint? Are there any records of her?”
The birth of a Mystic Saint was a momentous occasion, usually recorded in historical texts.
In such and such year, such and such month, such and such Saint achieved Sainthood. Even if they chose to remain anonymous, there would be a record of their existence.
Yi Xian’er stared at her, her voice calm and steady. “She’s Yan Zhen’s master.”
Huh? Ji Ya was stunned, her composure momentarily shattered. Her mind raced. “You… You know Little Brother Yan Zhen’s master?”
“You know her too. Instructor Chen Xi.”
Ji Ya abruptly stood up, her eyes wide with shock.
“How… How do you–”
“I have my past life’s memories, just like you.” Yi Xian’er’s voice was calm. “I’m the Queen of a Thousand Yins. You recognize me now, don’t you, Sister Ji Ya?”
“You… You’re reborn too?!”
She was utterly astonished.
Even when she saw the intimate relationship between Instructor Yu Xuan and Yan Zhen in Silver Moon City, she had simply assumed it was a deviation in the timeline caused by her rebirth. She hadn’t considered the possibility of others also being reborn.
Could it be that Instructor Yu Xuan and the others were treating him differently because they had also been reborn?
“Did you think you were the only one, Sister Ji Ya?”
“Well, well, Little Sister Xian’er, who would have thought such an inconceivable thing could happen more than once?”
Rebirth involved time, causality, and fate, concepts that only Emperor realm experts could comprehend.
They had witnessed Yan Zhen manipulating time, but only simple acceleration, pausing, and rewinding.
Causality and fate, however, were fundamental forces governing the world, existing only in legends and speculation, never recorded in history.
“So, you deliberately revealed the medicinal bath recipe to Little Brother Yan Zhen to sabotage me?”
Ji Ya steered the conversation back to the main issue.
Yi Xian’er’s expression remained neutral. “Not at all. I simply wanted to remind you, Sister Ji Ya, that it’s not good to be greedy.”
“Oh? What do you mean, Little Sister Xian’er?”
She couldn’t decipher Yi Xian’er’s intentions.
The Queen of a Thousand Yins was not to be underestimated, even in her current weakened state.
Likewise, Yi Xian’er was no pushover. She had managed to control the vast Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce with just her Mystic Master cultivation. Her true capabilities were undeniable.
“I’ll help you, and you’ll help me. We form an alliance.”
“Heh heh,” Ji Ya chuckled, her tone insincere. “You make it sound so nice, Little Sister Xian’er. You come here to cause trouble, and you call it ‘helping’? I’m not stupid~”
“Not causing trouble is helping.”
“Are you threatening me? That won’t work. You can try to sabotage me all you want, but I’ll still perform dual cultivation with Little Brother Yan Zhen. For the next month, he’ll be filling me up every day, while you, his assistant, can only watch from the sidelines~”
She smirked, her chin resting on her hand, her voice laced with pride.
“I have a ‘cauldron physique,’ you know? I’m probably even more fertile than that Serpent Queen. As long as I don’t refine his… essence, getting pregnant is child’s play.”
Yi Xian’er felt a pang of jealousy. She was a Yin Body, incompatible with his Yang Body. By the time she developed the Yin-Yang Unity technique, it had been too late.
In contrast, Ji Ya’s cauldron physique offered numerous advantages. Not only could she enhance his cultivation through dual cultivation, but she could also easily conceive his children.
“You’re being too optimistic, Sister Ji Ya. Dual cultivation is a form of cultivation, not ordinary intercourse. It’s highly unlikely you’ll get pregnant.”
“You’re so naive, Little Sister Xian’er.” Ji Ya giggled. “After the dual cultivation treatment, I’ll just sit on his lap and… bounce a little. Problem solved~”
Yi Xian’er scoffed. “You’re delusional. A cauldron physique is incredibly sensitive. It’s debatable whether you’ll even survive the treatment, let alone have the energy for anything afterwards.”
Her words struck a nerve.
She knew how powerful he was. Even his two “younger sisters,” both Ninth Star Mystic Saints, combined were no match for him. On the day after their wedding, they had emerged from their room with trembling legs, their gait unsteady.
A cauldron physique was normally quite formidable, perhaps on par with Yan Ruyu’s level. But once “opened,” its offensive and defensive capabilities plummeted, leaving the woman vulnerable, reduced to a helpless piece of meat, similar to Yan Meng’er.
In her “spring dreams,” she had unknowingly “opened” her cauldron during the treatment, leading to a… thorough ravishing. She had even been forced to call for Aunt Mu and her twin bodyguards, barely managing to achieve victory with a four-on-one battle.
But she couldn’t do that in reality. The twin bodyguards, semi-puppets loyal to the death, were one thing. But Aunt Mu was an elder! Having her kneel before him, serving him… It was unthinkable!
“Can you… help me, Little Sister Xian’er?”
“Helping you is helping myself.” Yi Xian’er’s voice was calm. “I’m his assistant now. I can help him deal with you, or I can help you handle him.”
Ji Ya fell silent, considering the pros and cons.
“Is that all? Just… helping?”
“Of course not. We’ll form an alliance, working together to counter any other women who might also be reborn, especially that snake woman from the Water City.”
Ji Ya chuckled inwardly. Everyone knew about Yi Xian’er’s feud with the Serpent Queen. She hadn’t expected their animosity to persist even before their conflict had occurred in this timeline.
Holding onto grudges like this only created opportunities for others. How foolish.
If it were her, she would try to win over as many “sisters” as possible, securing the dominant position in the “harem,” becoming the de facto head wife, even if she wasn’t officially recognized as such.
“Since you’re so sincere, Little Sister Xian’er, I can’t refuse. Let’s form an alliance.”
“It’s settled then.”
“Of course.”
They had finally reached a mutually beneficial agreement.
“As for the medicinal bath recipe, you have a plan, right, Sister Ji Ya?”
“I’ll just say we can’t find the ingredients.”
“Then let’s proceed with this plan for now. I trust you’ll honor our agreement, Sister Ji Ya.”
“I always keep my promises. I expect the same from you, Little Sister Xian’er.”
“Heeheehee.”
“Hohohoho.”
Both women laughed, their laughter chilling.
