Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 305. Pickle

Jian Heng invited Qin Yushang to enter his room. Now the four of them sat facing each other.

"It looks like you brought some very important news?" Jian Heng looked at Qin Yushang's face seriously.

Qin Yushang nodded.

"Many residents are asking to unseal protection as soon as possible. They want to see the outside world and blend in with other humans who live in the surrounding region" Qin Yushang explained.

Jian Heng looked at Fang Yin and Guan Xing in turn. This matter cannot be decided haphazardly. It is worth thinking about all the possible consequences of the decision taken.

"Life outside this place is not heaven. There is a lot of evil and danger lurking at all times. I have gone through many lands, oppression and arbitrariness still occur in every place I go." Fang Yin spoke seriously as he looked at Qin Yushang.

"I'll train them with a fast technique. It didn't take them long to master martial arts and an understanding of how to socialize with the outside world." Jian Heng added.

Qin Yushang nodded. Everything they say is reasonable. All this time the inhabitants of the Black Jade hill were like birds in a cage. Since they were born, they have never known customs and cultures outside of their civilization. Their lives are compartmentalized in a continuous hereditary tradition.

"I've been living outside and wandering since I was fourteen. There are so many things I have been through in my life. Many times I accept injustice, even once I helped someone and he rewarded me with evil. However, not all of them are so, there are also some who have a conscience and goodness. As long as we're in the middle of a new environment, we have to be smart about carrying ourselves." Fang Yin spoke again.

Guan Xing had no idea what kind of story Fang Yin was going through until he became like this now. Jian Heng knew of Fang Yin's struggle, but he only knew his true identity not too long ago. As an outcast princess, she had gone through the pain and mental burdens that made her mind suffer. Her life was filled with anger and resentment over the cruel slander and humiliation she received with her mother.

"I will gather the entire population of the Black Jade hill to talk about it. I want you to deliver on all the plans we've agreed to before." Qin Yushang wanted to quickly take steps before the misunderstanding in the community he led was widespread.

"That's better. Let's go" Jian Heng said.

The four of them exited Jian Heng's room and stood in front of Qin Yushang's villa. Some of Qin Yushang's confidants went to call the residents to gather at the place. The Black Jade hill region that was wide enough made them have to be willing to wait for a moment.

One by one the inhabitants of the Black Jade hill began to arrive. They looked very enthusiastic while getting the call to come especially the girls who put their hearts on Jian Heng. His handsome face and refined mannerism fascinated them by his charisma.

"Sister Heng," whispered Fang Yin in Jian Heng's ear.

"Yes, what's up, Yin'er?" jian Heng asked slowly.

"It looks like you became the idol of the girls here," Fang Yin said in an upset tone.

Jian Heng smiled. He knew his girlfriend was jealous. After this he would be careful if approached by the girls. A woman is very sensitive and often loses her mind when she is jealous.

"You don't think shit. I'm not interested in having a concubine. Only you women will be the mother of my children" whispered Jian Heng trying to calm Fang Yin.

Fang Yin smiled happily. His heart calmed down. After which, he spoke nothing more and prepared to make an announcement to the residents of the Black Jade hill.

Unlike Jian Heng who had many fans due to his good looks and prowess, Fang Yin was just the opposite. The men who admired his prowess did not dare to approach or offend him. Looking at his abilities, that admiration turned into a sense of disdain and fear. They only dared to look at her beauty and prowess from a distance without daring to tease her.

The entire population of the Black Jade hill had gathered up entirely. Qin Yushang began his welcome speech. He said everything that had been talked about together with Jian Heng, Guan Xing and Fang Yin.

Jian Heng and Guan Xing said their remarks and details of the plans to be implemented after this. The girls looked very enthusiastic when they heard this news. They would have the chance to meet Jian Heng face to face every day.

Fang Yin stared pushyly at the girls. However, he tried to calm down whenever he recalled Jian Heng's words. Their togetherness during this time was enough to prove that the man who had been his teacher was a trustworthy person.

The training will begin tomorrow morning. Qin Yushang set his place in the hall. Not yet knowing how many people would come to the event, only the hall could accommodate many people.

After the residents of the Black Jade hill disbanded, Qin Yushang and the others left the front yard. The four of them entered Qin Yushang's house. The other elders were also willing to help if needed. Everyone was welcoming about the training and debriefing that would be given to them.

Inside the house, Qin Yu Zhu and his mother had been waiting for them to eat. The servants in the house had prepared food for them. Since noon they have not eaten and choose to rest after not sleeping for a night.

While they were eating, Xin Nian came there. He brought a box containing side dishes that he cooked. His face looked disappointed when he saw that their bowl was full of food.

"Xin Nian, it looks like your cooking is delicious, can I try it?" Madam Qin called Xin Nian over to get closer.

A mother's tender heart makes her very sensitive. From the change in Xin Nian's facial expression she knew that the girl was feeling disappointed. His food was untouched because he was late to bring it.

Xin Nian nodded and smiled. Several times he glanced towards Jian Heng hoping that the man would also take his cooking.

Fang Yin did not like to eat too much, nor did Jian Heng and Guan Xing. The three of them finished early and refused when Qin Yushang and his wife were about to add food into his bowl.

"Leader Qin, after this I will go out to practice. Before it gets dark I should've found a comfortable place." Fang Yin asked for permission from Qin Yushang as the owner of the house.

Qin Yu Zhu smiled as he glanced towards Xin Nian. They thought after this would have a chance to get close to Jian Heng. Their concern was too high, expecting a man who would never glance at her at all.

"Are you going alone, Miss?" qin Yushang asked.

"I'll accompany him." Jian Heng did not seek the approval of Fang Yin for this.

The faces of Qin Yu Zhu and Xin Nian instantly turned sour. Again they have to be disappointed. The only chance they might get is to take training tomorrow morning.

Guan Xing chose to stay. He knew his presence would only ruin the mood of Fang Yin and Jian Heng. To that end, he preferred to stay and chat with Qin Yushang as well as his family.

The sun has dimmed in the western horizon. A little more he would drown and open the curtain of darkness. While the earth was still filled with its dim light, Fang Yin and Jian Heng bade to leave Qin Yushang's villa.

They went on foot through the streets that surrounded the villas belonging to the residents. Residents who were outside greeted them and saluted. After being at the edge of the village, Fang Yin and Jian Heng jumped into the air and traveled by flying.

The orange sky with the dim light of the sun that almost sank made the atmosphere of the afternoon so beautiful. Fang Yin and Jian Heng were circling above the sky of the Black Jade hill to find the right place to practice.

They were attracted to a rock hill about a thousand feet southeast of the settlement. Fang Yin pointed out the place he was going to go to Jian Heng then they both went down there.

They walked around to find a comfortable place to practice. There were many large rocks there that were towering high. Both of them jumped from one stone to the other until they stopped at a slightly wide rock.

"It seems like it's good enough to practice." Fang Yin twisted his body looking around where he stood.

"Can too. This stone is on a high peak and a fairly wide surface. We can practice freely without fear of inflicting damage." Jian Heng agreed to make the place a training ground.

The two sat facing each other at a safe distance. The steep edge of the rock was only a few feet away from their bodies. Even though they sit at the tip of the horn, they are still able to maintain balance.

They ignored the physical states around them and began to enter their respective subconscious. Fang Yin dug into his memories while Jian Heng refined what he had learned.

A quiet atmosphere enveloped the two. That place is completely deserted. There were no beasts wandering there because this place had been isolated from the outside world for too long.

Fang Yin entered his subconscious and looked at the entire contents of the Nine-star Nine Dragons Book that he had absorbed in the form of writing. The content of this book was a refinement of the previous eight Nine Dragons Books. There were a few additional chapters that he had never studied there as well.

The first point, Fang Yin refined the sword stance that was on the one-star Book of Nine Dragons. This move was combined with the great energy of the Black Jade resulting in a movement that was difficult to resist with a deadly aura that would make his opponent become disinclined.

For tonight, Fang Yin was only struggling in refining the sword stance of the Book of Nine Dragons. Although he did not use his physique directly, but his body also looked sweaty. The effects of the exercises he did still have an impact on his physique.

Jian Heng trained the golden light jug he had just obtained. According to him this felt very extraordinary where he could protect himself from the deadly attacks of his enemies. If this body originally appeared and disappeared by itself now he connected it to the core of his mind. In the future, the armor would come out and disappear at his command.

Fang Yin was still sitting with his eyes closed when Jian Heng had finished his training. His body looked radiant due to the radiated energy aura. Jian Heng looked at him from a distance without daring to approach. He was afraid of disturbing Fang Yin's concentration.

From the intense pressure of the companion energy coming out from Fang Yin's body, Jian Heng was confident that Fang Yin was training a powerful stance. In order to fill his time, he opened his meridian path and practiced open cultivation. His cultivation can be done in conjunction with other activities. Only people who were already at the cultivation level of the god realm could do this.

Jian Heng stood up and did some light movements to maximize his cultivation. The Black Jade was still the biggest energy contributor before. However, the surrounding realms also had considerable energy to absorb.

Fang Yin had completed his sword stance. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw Jian Heng was practicing. He stood up and did the exercises for real.

His right hand opened and took out Jian Heng's sword. The little sword was strong enough to flow a huge Qi. Before playing his manager, Fang Yin flowed Qi throughout the point of his tool.

His movements seemed to glow in the dark. The radiant glow of the sword that contained Qi radiated illuminated the place around him. Fang Yin did an excellent offensive and defensive move. At the end of his practice, he pointed his sword tip at a stone and made it explode. The rock shattered into pieces, leaving a billowing cloud of dust carried by the wind.

"You're done, Yin'er?" jian Heng asked as he stepped closer to him.

Fang Yin nodded. The sword in his hand disappeared as he absorbed it into his storage ring.

"For tonight, this is all I've learned. How's yours?" fang Yin asked as she wiped the sweat that soaked her face.

"I have had enough too. Do you want to go home now?" Jian Heng looked at Fang Yin's face that was not covered by the veil.

"We'll be home soon." Fang Yin turned his face away from Jian Heng's gaze.

"Look at me, Yin'er!" said gently.

Fang Yin looked back at him. Their different height made him have to look up to return his gaze.

Jian Heng framed Fang Yin's face with both of his palms. Both of their faces were within a very close distance then a kiss landed on Fang Yin's forehead. Jian Heng did not dare to do anything more than that before their status became clear.

Feeling that there was nothing more to do there, they agreed to return to Qin Yushang's villa. Tomorrow Jian Heng had to train the inhabitants of the Black Jade hill early in the morning and Fang Yin was free to do nothing or join him.

Fang Yin was reluctant to train during the day as it would attract the attention of many people. The quiet night atmosphere is also easier to make it concentrate.

Seeing the settlement already in sight, Fang Yin and Jian Heng slowed down their flight and descended on the border. Jian Heng grabbed his hand and then led him towards Qin Yushang's villa. He wanted to show everyone they met that the two had an unusual relationship.

Because it was not too late, there were still some residents who were awake. This is the first night after liberation. Some of them celebrated their freedom from the shackles of the devil by celebrating a small party with their families.

A little boy ran to the middle of the road when he saw Fang Yin and Jian Heng passing by. The boy was about three years old. He and his family were burning chickens in front of their house.

The residents of the Black Jade hill raise livestock for logistical needs on the edge of the village. They make a cage of some domestic animals that are usually taken for consumption. No matter what the mechanism is, they keep the animals together and enjoy it in turns.

There's someone responsible for this. On the slopes of hills and valleys, there was a farm and plantation. They also work on it in groups and divide the results fairly. Families here are strongly felt even though they have a low tolerance for traitors and dissidents.

"I'm Acong! I'm Acong!" the little boy held Fang Yin's hand and swung it.

Fang Yin let go of Jian Heng's hand then bowed before Acong.

"Sweet child." Fang Yin felt anxious at her then carried her.

"Acong ... Ackles!" A middle-aged woman and a young man emerged from a villa and took to the streets while continuously calling out the boy's name.

They were shocked when they saw that Acong was already inside Fang Yin's sling. Their faces turned deathly pale when they saw him. They quickly ran towards Fang Yin then saluted.

"I'm sorry about this kid, miss. He's a little naughty." The middle-aged woman attempted to grab Acong from Fang Yin's sling but the child instead hugged Fang Yin even tighter.

"I don't want to be with grandma!" Acong.

"Here you go, let me drive him home. Just show me where your house is!" Fang Yin asked the woman to show him her home.

"Don't be naughty, kid! Come with daddy!" the young man who was beside the middle-aged woman came forward and extended his hand towards Acong.

The boy still didn't budge. He still did not want to get down from Fang Yin's sling. The man eventually relented and let the boy stay there.

That man is Acong's father. He introduced himself and was named Gong Yu, while the middle-aged woman was named Lin He. Gong Yu's wife had died when Acong was only a few months old. Sudden deaths were common when they were still a green human race. They did not know if there was any evil magic absorbing pure energy without them noticing.

Fang Yin and Jian Heng felt pity for Acong. The boy seemed to miss his mother. His father and grandmother often told him that his mother was very beautiful and was in a distant place. Perhaps he thought that his mother was Fang Yin because she had come from a faraway place.

Gong Yu had a handsome face. Her skin was pure white with her hair neatly tied up. He was no more than twenty-five years old. Her stature is moderate with a proportional height. If given the value of good looks close to the number nine, thin difference with Jian Heng.

The four of them walked together towards Gong Yu's house. Jian Heng glanced towards Fang Yin who was walking too close to Gong Yu. Not wanting her lover to be close to another man, she moved and walked in the middle of the two.

'Her brother Heng had jealousy as well. I think jealousy belongs only to a woman.' Fang Yin smiled amusedly at Jian Heng's ridiculous manner.

They entered the courtyard of the villa where Acong and his family lived. In the courtyard stood a man who was fanning a chicken that was burned with charcoal. He was Gong Yu's father named Gong Chen.

Acong asked Fang Yin and Jian Heng to stay and enjoy the grilled chicken being made. No matter how much longer the maturation process would take, the fire from the charcoal did not seem to be hot enough. The tasteful aroma of spices makes their stomachs hungry. Fang Yin and Jian Heng decided to accept their invitation.

"Let me help." Fang Yin approached Gong Chen while holding Acong.

"No need to bother, Miss. Let us do it. You are a guest of honor for us." Lin He did not want to trouble Fang Yin.

Fang Yin did not go from the front of the roasting. He extended his hand over the roasted chicken. From his palm came out a fire directed at the chicken.

"From the chicken!" fang Yin's Command.

Gong Chen did as Fang Yin ordered. The smell of the grilled meat was getting stronger. The steady fire made the meat quickly cook into the depths.

It didn't take long to wait for dinner. Fang Yin did this solely for Acong. Young children do not seem to be able to sleep late at night in order to grow well.

"Mother is beautiful, you are so great. My mother, if she came home, she would be as beautiful as you, Mother, too" said Acong.

Gong Yu looked very embarrassed. His young son was so fond of seducing women. He thought about how after he grew up.

Fang Yin smiled and nodded. As he stared at this pair of children's eyeballs he was like he was being dragged into another dimension of nature. It was as if he was on the verge of his consciousness.

'What happened to me? Why does my body suddenly feel hard to move. This is not magic, nor do I feel the great power of this child.' Fang Yin looked around. His body was increasingly sucked into the depths of the void space that had yet to find its end.
