CHAPTER 62: THE DOMAIN -6

Bai Long went to meet his mother, but apparently, she seems to be in seclusion, already hitting the bottleneck, about to break through anytime soon, and as mentioned previously, it will attract lightning tribulation.

So, he went to meet the Grandmaster Shen, however, he had brought a few gifts to maintain a good relationship.

He quickly went inside the Pavilion.

"Grandmaster looks more and more beautiful, every time I arrive... Needless beauty, dustless face," Bai Long praised.

"I wonder what Young Master Bai has to offer this time..." She said ignoring his praise.

"Ahem, Ahem, I dare not hide it... Grandmaster Shen is wise and probably knows that I have a leopard. It is already in the peak of Rank 5, and I need some shadow-based treasures to help it make a breakthrough to rank 6..."

"Ooh, you want to ascend Phantom Shadow Leopard to get rank 6!? From what I have heard you leopard also have a lightning element... Why don’t you use lightning-based treasures, or could the lightning element be a result of mutation!?"

Unlike human or demons, who can consume any kind of treasure and still get some benefit, beasts can only consume the spiritual treasures of their spirit root origin to ascend.

She knew about it, and she also knew some beasts awakened the new mutated ability mysteriously. But those mutated abilities aren’t tied to the spirit root so, it won’t help beasts ascend to a higher realm.

"You know Young Master Bai, getting shadow-based treasures is very rare. I suggest feeding spiritual treasures to help it ascend... If it is peak of Rank 5, I suggest feeding it Nine-petaled soul lotus worth 300k mid grade stones, vermillion flame core worth 400k mid-grade stones, and beast ascension pill worth 200k for easier breakthrough..."

The difference between feeding it regular spiritual treasures and shadow-based treasures have vast difference as spiritual treasure only helps the beast ascend, but giving shadow-based treasures can help it increase the affinity to Shadow Dao.

"I see, so there are no shadow-based treasures alas..." Bai Long little disappointed, but he couldn’t deny that finding shadow-based treasures was hard. He isn’t the protagonist to move left and find what he needs, and move right and get a new waifu.

"Anyway, Grandmaster Shen, I have brought you some gifts..." He pulled out a Heaven piercing Yin fruit and Moongarden spring spirit water.

He could have given a gift to Bai Fenghua and Matriarch Gu too, but they have ill intentions so, he dared not.

She looked at them with surprise.

"These are rare treasures, Young Master Bai... How did you manage to get them!?"

Bai Long didn’t answer, just chuckled.

He has already used the Enlightened Silver Mist Roses and Great Frost Dandelions. He now only has 3 Enlightened Silver Mist Rose, Twin Moon Flower, and the Calamity Ice Lotus.

These two treasures, he used them as a gift.

"Haha, it’s nothing, nothing. Young Master just happened to find them while roaming the Black Frost Wasteland. Please accept it as a gift..."

"Young Master Bai is too kind, I can’t accept them," Grandmaster Shen said, but the way she was eyeing the gifts made her look like a hungry lioness.

"Grandmaster is too polite. This Young Master isn’t kind, I simply want Grandmaster to help my beast ascend, and also... You know my intentions, I wish to have you as my coupling partner, it’s not a shameful behaviour, it’s a harmony between a male and a female."

He is good at calculating, he knows the value of the gifts he gave, which are worth around 500k mid-grade stones. Which is a lot but maybe worth a little less in her eyes.

"Hehe, it would be very great if Grandmaster could give me a mouth-to-mouth kiss in return, I would be very happy..." Bai Long added.

"You perverted rascal..." She blushed red from shame. How can he ask such a thing?

But if she really didn’t want him to talk like that, she could have come clean but she didn’t.

"Grandmaster Shen is a woman of wisdom and intellect who has seen the world and learned the truth, if you don’t want me to keep pursuing you, you can come clean... This Bai will never mention such things again. I want to know at least the time I am putting in will be with it or not..."

"I will come clean, I want to keep you as a coupling partner, I am fond of your beauty and your wide hips as I believe they can give a strong child for my Bai Family with my seed. I also believe we can cultivate the Dao of love together while cultivating immortality..."

"The only thing I want is an honest answer for atleast once, will you keep making it go on never ending circles calling it perverted, time-waste it other sort of words or give an actual answer."

The room suddenly turned serious.

Her blushed face turned into a sophisticated stoic face, while she looked at him with slightly confused eyes.

’Hmm, Quite a catch... So, what do I want!?’

’Should I outright reject him!? He is way too young and there is a vast difference between us.’

Who is she!? The daughter of the Shen family.

Who is He!? Young master of the cheap Bai Family.

"Young Master Bai, I believe I have given a clear answer. If Young Master Bai brings me the Calamity ice lotus, I am willing to be Young Master’s coupling partner... If not, it’s better to forget about it." Her voice was calm and steady.

"It seems Bai isn’t favoured by fate..." Bai Long shook his head.

Calmaity Ice lotus, it seems even the number.1 talented individual such as the Young Master of the Hong family from another province is here, with that, getting the calamity Ice lotus is already hard.

Bai Long indeed possesses the treasure to kill a golden core realm powerhouse but what’s the guarantee that other geniuses don’t possess any offensive and defensive treasure?

Not to mention, he still lacks a good defense.

And as expected, the answer from Grandmaster was to bring the calamity Ice Lotus. It would be more than a miracle if she actually wanted him as a Dao partner.

"Quite unfortunate, quite unfortunate... If there is something else then, please tell me... I fear, I may be able to get Moon and stars but not Calamity Ice lotus..." Bai Long replied.

"Young Master Bai exaggerates... This humble self only asked for calamity Ice lotus... If Young Master can’t then, that’s fine." She waved her hand.

"What a pity... I thought there might be some hope but, it seems, the Grandmaster is like the other women of the world, only wanting powerful and wealthy individuals," Bai Long sighed heavily.

"It’s alright... I wonder if Young Master gave anything more," She asked.

"No, I think I will only have the items Grandmaster Shen mentioned."

"That will be 900k... For Young Master Bai, a 100k discount from this humble self so, you have to pay eight hundred thousand spirit stones" She replied.

"How magnanimous heart..." Bai Long hurriedly handed the stones and brought nine-petaled soul Lotus, vermilion flame core, and beast ascension pills.

Returning back to his family area, he quickly fed it to the leopard.

Eating the treasures, the leopard began to glow with a sinister aura as it lay there.

"Hehe... It will soon reach rank 6. It may need some hours..."

Bai Long muttered to himself. But he quickly began to think about Grandmaster Shen.

"Strange, why is she interested in Calamity Lotus Ice!? She is perfectly healthy and fine... And she is from the Shen family from another province so, it’s very unlikely someone close is injured and needs a rare treasure to heal."

Bai Long thought to himself. Could it be she has some kind of special physique!? But Bai Long has used his system, she doesn’t have a special physique.

Unknown to him, he was playing right into her trap.

* * *

Inside the luxurious Chamber,

"Hmm, that Bai Long must be thinking about me and why I might need Calamity lotus ice... He is indeed a brat," Grandmaster Shen thought while sipping her tea.

She is already a powerhouse and alchemy grandmaster, soon to make a breakthrough to alchemy saint.

She doesn’t need a Calamity Ice Lotus.

Her cheeks flushed red as he grabbed the Heaven piercing fruit but her face sank... This thing didn’t have Bai Long’s scent on it.

"Ughh, that brat... He must have stolen it from someone else," she gritted her teeth.

She didn’t know what exactly she wanted. First thing, he was happy someone wanted her but he was a little brat, but for a cultivator, age mattered less.

She is a little conflicted on what exactly to do, she can’t easily accept his proposal and she doesn’t wanna reject it either.

She really wanted to play it long.

But, ughh...

’That damn brat... He has the smell of four different women,’ She clenched her fist.

She had an extraordinary smell developed throughout the ages by smelling various herbs and pills so, of course, she could tell how many women he had slept with.

’He must be thinking I am like others; pretty easy to get... Hmph."

’"Give me an answer"... Haha, he acts so stupid. He thinks he can understand women but can’t... Alas, that’s so fun about him. Maybe, next time if he tries hard enough I will give him a kiss...’ She thought to herself.

’Ah, but I have never kissed anyone... Should I practice kissing with another man!?’
