Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Oh, it's you," Wu Hen saw that it was Cai Ni.

This girl, who had been following Master Cai Huang since the first time he saw her, seemed to be his own sister.

Compared to Yu Yu, this sister was lacking by a great deal, from the occasional disdain in her eyes to the faint curl of her lips, all indicated that deep down, she did not see him as her brother.

"I was practicing my perception, and I was wondering why, when they all deliberately suppressed their breaths and footsteps, suddenly someone started breathing heavily in such a silly way. It felt like they were deliberately giving me a taste. Ripe sweetness would be fine, but sourness would be regrettable," Wu Hen said.

Ripe sweetness?

Sourness?

Cai Ni couldn't help but raise her head to look at the other sisters in the yard!

Then she looked down at herself, Cai Ni suddenly understood what he meant, and anger rose in her like a tide, wishing she could slap this shameless person to death!

"So it's Miss Cai Ni. I am Liang Xiangyue from the True Martial Liang Family," Liang Xiangyue said softly, giving a polite gesture.

Liang Xiangyue was the one who came to serve as a secretary upon request.

Wu Hen was not very familiar with the distribution of power in Infinite Red Port and indeed needed a local secretary, so he did not refuse.

In this courtyard, filled with song and dance, was this really what his daily life was supposed to be like? Moving from luxury to frugality was indeed uncomfortable, it would be embarrassing to go out without several maids of different styles to take care of his daily life, given his status as a great young master.

"Are you also planning to accompany brother in practicing martial arts?" Wu Hen asked with raised eyebrows.

Pah!

What kind of filthy martial arts are you practicing? Even dual cultivation with a Taoist companion isn't as outrageous as this.

"Who are all these people in the house? Holy Sect Land is not a place where just anyone can enter," Cai Ni said, managing to squeeze out a pleasant smile, mindful of her father's teachings.

"Oh, let me introduce them. This one is a female net friend I met online, called Yang Qin. She takes care of my daily diet, daily necessities, and also plays the roles of screaming, crying, and frightening... to create atmosphere in my team," Wu Hen said, pointing at his classmate Yang Qin.

Yang Qin was dumbfounded.

It was true that she was easily frightened and often paralyzed with fear, but since entering Otherworldly Desert Dust, there were hardly any girls stronger than her now. What Wu Hen was talking about were things from five years ago!

"This is Qiaqia. She's a good girl who helped me during my travels. Her main roles are to dispel worries, dance and sing, and provide emotional value. Besides, she is a River Girl, the kind that won't get pregnant with a Human Clan's child, so you don't have to worry about me," Wu Hen said.

River Girl Qiaqia's fair cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and she wished she could revert to her true form and swat Wu Hen away with her tail.

That's way too dehumanizing!

"And then there's Tu Shanlan. I met her in Nuwa God End, a friend you know, no man could resist a beauty who can pilot a Gundam. I am the Guardian Angel of billions of civilizations, it's not unusual that I can't handle everything, so it's not strange for her to be following me as my female secretary, right?" Wu Hen said.

Tu Shanlan didn't know what to say and ended up staying silent just like the other two girls before her.

"And who is this one who looks like she wasn't raised well before being sent over?" Cai Ni noticed that Wu Hen had one more person to introduce, a woman with a good figure and looks but carrying an air of arrogance.

"Oh her? Her name is Gao Yu Yan. She's a sacrifice in a political deal. I just showed the Longevity Sect a bit of my power, didn't I? Someone heard the news, realized they backed the wrong side, and quickly pushed her over to me, indicating I could command her as I pleased. But I'm not a petty person, so I just accepted her as a maid," Wu Hen said with a smile, his gaze lingering on the tense woman standing there.

Gao Yu Yan's silver teeth were clenched so tightly they might shatter.

She truly didn't understand why she still fell into Wu Hen's hands.

What puzzled her even more was why Wu Hen, once a mayfly, had become a phoenix – now a dazzlingly prominent figure.

Psychologically, she had many grievances. Over the years, she too had exerted great effort, not wanting her destiny to be controlled by the family behind her. Yet in the end, she realized she was still just a sacrificial pawn; the Gao Family was on one hand trying to ingratiate themselves with the Longevity Sect, while on the other, not wanting to offend Wu Hen anymore. As a result, she became the "sacrificial pawn" mentioned in Wu Hen's own words, once again lowering her head to him.

"Since that's the case, then I'll discipline her myself!" Cai Ni certainly did not wish to have someone more arrogant than herself in this courtyard.

Having said that, Cai Ni raised her hand and harshly slapped Gao Yu Yan across the face.

Gao Yu Yan was startled. The conversation had been going well when the palm strike came out of nowhere, and she was completely unable to evade it.

Gao Yu Yan sat back, her entire being dazed.

Fortunately, a hand grasped Cai Ni's little palm – it was Wu Hen.

Wu Hen summoned a smile, speaking to Cai Ni, "One finds a sense of accomplishment in training someone slowly. Don't trouble yourself on my behalf, Junior Sister."

"I've heard that Brother Qi is not proficient in Holy Decision, and uses Totem Holy Power merely as a brute force. Therefore, I specifically came to teach Brother some Holy Decisions," Cai Ni didn't bother with a mere servant, switching to serious matters instead.

Holy Decisions are good!

Holy Decisions must be learned!

Wu Hen's heart leapt in excitement. He felt like a martial arts master with vast Inner Strength but lacking powerful moves, carrying a Divine Sword yet crudely using it to bludgeon people!

"Junior Sister Cai Ni, teach me that move, the one that spreads Holy Breath over the land, and then envelopes it to transform into Sword Peaks!" Wu Hen immediately said.

That Earth Crust Sword Peak performed by the Purple Robed Master had indeed been quite imposing; even the Ying Snake had been heavily injured by that move. Wu Hen was very eager to learn it – but how?

"What you're talking about is the Holy Decision of Earth Control. You need to permeate the Holy Breath into the earth like the roots of an ancient tree, just like this…" Cai Ni didn't hold back, and personally released the move.

As she spoke, Cai Huang stood there, her body sinking ever so slightly. The Holy Infant within her released a cry like a living being, and immediately all the Holy Breath from her body transformed into golden roots that rapidly penetrated the earth!

Others couldn't see this powerful aura and only felt Cai Ni's golden, majestic presence, akin to a Saintess descending from the heavens. Gao Yu Yan, possessing Spiritual Vision, could barely make out the golden tendrils spreading throughout the entire courtyard, like magma-fire, burrowing up from the cracked ground.

"Rise!"

Suddenly, Cai Ni lifted her hand, and the soft soil surged violently. One after the other, stalwart rock pillars shot up like sword stakes, instantly towering to the height of a building, frightening the other women into not knowing where to hide.

Cai Ni's lips curled slightly, gazing at the clueless maids of Wu Hen. She instantly understood why her father so disdained some of his offspring – their mothers were mostly just like these maids, truly mediocre and completely lacking in presence.

"Dear maids, don't panic, don't panic," Wu Hen immediately soothed.

"Have you understood, Brother, or does Sister need to demonstrate again?" Cai Ni didn't care about the feelings of the few maids. If they weren't shown the innate gap between people, they might even dare to show her disdain, especially that Gao Yu Yan. All looks, but an empty vase.

"I understand. Let's not scare my beloved maids anymore," Wu Hen said. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
