Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

A red streak cut across the clouds of Grand Elder Peak, heading straight for Blue Steam Mountain.

It was Yang Wei, standing elegantly on a blood sword, his hands behind his back, and his white robes fluttering like clothes on a line in a storm.

He looked calm, but anyone paying attention would notice he had a lot on his mind.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm wasting my time here…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I should be looking for ways to heal Huiran and Lin'er, but I know I can't bother Suzhen about it. She's doing her best to track down Fairy Su Meirong, and she hasn't gotten any closer to finding her sister either. I've tried using my magic to track Su Meirong spatially, but somehow she manages to evade it.

...Hrmm

If Huiran and Lin'er were to die, I wouldn't forgive myself. I could always use my Sacred Palace as a last resort, but after talking with Meiyan's mother, it's clear that Huiran is a Catalyst. Her death would cause a lot of problems for the entire world, and tampering with her fate might make things worse.

But if it comes to that and it's the only option, I'll take it.

With a mild sigh, he picked up speed and shot through the clouds like a missile.

Soon, he arrived at Blue Steam Mountain, specifically hovering over the Harmony Elder Hall on his blood sword.

This was the grand abode of Sun Yurong, the Harmony Elder.

Yang Wei looked left and right, as though he wanted to cross a road.

"I wonder how she's been since the last time we talked…"

He knew Sun Yurong would do anything to keep Sun Yuying in the dark about their family's current situation.

Every time he recalled what Sun Yuying confided in him, he reminded himself he didn't have the right to interfere with how Sun Yurong wanted her daughter to progress. Whether it would hinder Sun Yuying or not wasn't his concern, no matter how much he wanted it to be.

The only comforting thing was that, although Sun Yuying didn't have her family, she now had Lingyu, her soul twin. From what he'd seen, Lingyu cherished Sun Yuying, and that's what really mattered… having someone who truly cherished you.

Lowering himself on his blood sword, Yang Wei dispersed it into particles of blood Qi just before touching the ground, landing gracefully. Straightening his robes, he walked into the large courtyard and soon found himself at the huge doors leading inside.

"This place looks a little too fancy," he thought.

Yang Wei knocked on the door.

Knock! KNOCK!!

He waited for a moment, and just as he was about to knock again, he heard a woman's voice say, "Come in."

The door opened on its own, revealing Sun Yujing standing on the other side.

Yang Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Yujing..."

She'd grown more beautiful over the year that had passed.

However, in Yang Wei's eyes she hadn't yet reached the beauty of her mother.

Sun Yujing clasped her hands respectfully and bowed her head. "Greetings, Grand Elder."

Yang Wei held out a hand, indicating that the formality wasn't necessary, but he let it go and asked, "So, uh, where's Yurong?" His divine sense already told him she was inside, but it was still customary to ask.

Sun Yujing stepped aside, silently inviting Yang Wei to enter.

Calmly, Yang Wei walked into the manor.

...

A few minutes later…

Yang Wei was seated on a mat with Sun Yurong.

There was a short round table between them.

On the table was a small xiangqi board and a teapot with some teacups.

Yang Wei wasn't planning to bring up Sun Yuying, knowing it would just anger Sun Yurong again. He'd already tried his best to connect with both Sun Yujing and Sun Yurong, urging them to speak with Sun Yuying, but it had been futile.

Besides, that wasn't why he was here today.

Hrmm~~

He could sense that Sun Yurong was close to reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

"I know you're comfortable on Blue Steam Mountain and all, but I was wondering if you and Yujing would like to join me at Grand Elder Peak."

He sounded uncertain about his own words.

Sun Yurong sighed softly with her angelic voice. She looked even more otherworldly and pure. Her incredible beauty wasn't intimidating at all. It was the kind of beauty that people naturally liked, like that one special daisy in a garden of roses. Yang Wei always found it easy to look her in the face.

Her wavy white hair, pretty red eyes like rubies, and that confident expression of hers… like she knew she was the best.

"I'm fine staying here. I wouldn't want to cause you any inconvenience."

Her red eyes shifted down to the teacup on the table.

It seemed like she didn't want to look Yang Wei in the eye.

This made Yang Wei uncomfortable.

Normally, their interactions involved him saying something lecherous or her making a seductive remark, sparking their usual connection. But this time, he felt it wasn't the right moment for that.

Yang Wei thought that maybe they had both changed in the past year.

"I don't know how genuine I can sound saying this, but I really need you, Yurong."

When she heard this, she lifted her head to look at Yang Wei.

That was what he needed, the eye contact.

"There's a declining clan under my authority. They're the Blood Demon Clan, and apparently, they were originally from the Blood Continent, a star region in the Middle Reaches. I have something interesting planned today, and I was wondering if you'd like to join me for that. If, after we're done, you're still not interested in living with me at Grand Elder Peak, I'll drop my request."

It was a strange request.

If Sun Yujing had heard him say this, she would be enraged.

To her, it was insulting to ask a widow to come live with him and his wives. While there was nothing generally wrong with it, the issue was who was asking. If it were anybody else, Sun Yujing and even Yurong might see it as an act of kindness. But everyone knew Yang Wei as a chronic womanizer.

With that reputation, his intentions to invite a beautiful woman like Sun Yurong to live at Grand Elder Peak seemed unlikely to be pure.

And yet it was…

What made it even better was that Sun Yurong knew this.

Sometimes she could completely understand Yang Wei, and this was one of those times. All she needed to do was look into his eyes, and it felt like she could see his soul.

His kindness was genuine, and his intentions were pure.

"Why is it important that I come to see this Blood Demon Clan?" Sun Yurong asked. "I understand that I'm a cultivator of the demonic path like you, but is my presence really necessary?" She finally picked up her teacup and elegantly took a small sip.

That action alone made Yang Wei smile a little more.

It seemed Sun Yurong was uncomfortable talking with him, but now that her voice sounded less strained and she was speaking more, he felt reassured that she might accept his invitation. Her freely drinking her tea was the cherry on top.

Yang Wei leaned forward, resting both hands on the small table.

"If you decide to join me at Grand Elder Peak, I'll build a huge abode for you. And if you like, I could build another one for us to share. I wonder what kind of fun two demonic cultivators in heat could have in a place like that~"

He knew his intuition was right when he saw Sun Yurong smile a little at the comment.

"Be careful what you say… remember, I'm a mother of two."

There was "that" small look Sun Yurong gave him right after she said this.

Yang Wei chuckled. "I know, I know." He waved his hands dismissively, showing he meant no harm.

Now, they both had bright smiles on their faces.

Yang Wei reached out and placed his hand on one of Sun Yurong's slender hands. Her white skin was so fresh to touch. It was like caressing the polished surface of jade.

"Please, just this once let me bother you with this surprise of mine."

Sun Yurong looked at Yang Wei's hand touching hers, then back at him. "Alright."

That answer was enough to leave the white-haired mage smiling ear to ear.
