Ch-12: Supreme Heavenly Qi

After flying for some time with Mo Xiao's help, Bai Chenyu, Mo Xiao, and Feng Bing Huang finally reached Mo Xiao's residence. A massive building made of white marble stood atop the largest peak in the entire sect. It was pristine, without a single stain. Nearby, some disciples tended to the surroundings.

During the flight, Bai Chenyu spotted many outer court and inner court disciples in their respective areas. The peak was enormous, and even Mo Xiao's house, though quite large, covered only a small portion of the area. There was also a medicinal garden filled with precious herbs, tended to by some outer court disciples.

"Alright, this is the peak where you'll reside, and this is my place. If you have any trouble, you can come and look for me here. Most of the time, I'll stay here," Mo Xiao explained after landing on the ground with Bai Chenyu and Feng Bing Huang, whose cultivation was too low to fly at the moment.

"Chenyu, even though you're an outer court disciple like Feng Bing Huang, you, like her, have the privilege to stay on the peak. However, you will still be considered an outer court disciple until you pass the inner court entrance exam. I've already built a mansion for Feng Bing Huang, and I'll also order to build one for you," Mo Xiao said with a smile, pointing at another luxurious house a bit farther from his own.

"Master, you don't have to build one for Junior Brother Bai Chenyu. I have many rooms in my house; he can stay with me," Feng Bing Huang said with a sweet smile on her face.

'Huh?' Bai Chenyu had a dumbfounded look on his face. She never behaved like this, not even with protagonist Su Chen when she first met him. He would later realize the reason.

'No way, not happening.' Bai Chenyu was momentarily enamored, listening to her sweet voice. He was even tempted by the suggestion, but when he saw the smile, it sent shivers down Bai Chenyu's back. He broke out in a cold sweat, looking at her heated gaze on his body.

"What!?" Mo Xiao also had a look of astonishment on his face. He never expected someone as cold as her would even offer such a suggestion. Then a mischievous smile appeared on his face as he looked at Feng Bing Huang, causing her to blush a bit, realizing what she had just said.

"Chenyu, would you like to stay together with your Senior Sister?" Mo Xiao asked with a smirk in his voice.

'Accept, and I can start your slave training soon, future husband,' Feng Bing Huang thought in her mind. Bai Chenyu could guess what she was thinking and vehemently declined.

"No, absolutely not!" Bai Chenyu almost exclaimed, which dumbfounded both Mo Xiao and Feng Bing Huang with his sudden outburst.

"What I meant was I do not want to intrude at your place, and I think a princess staying with a male under the same roof is not appropriate, even though we are minors," Bai Chenyu quickly explained, making up a reason. There was no way he would admit the real reason after he realized his outburst.

'I see, m Chenyu is scared of her, even I would be if I wasn't her master,' Mo Xiao thought as he smiled wearily, partially guessing Bai Chenyu's reason.

"Chenyu is right, Bing Huang," Mo Xiao said, causing her to frown in displeasure.

'Hmph, you will become mine sooner or later. You can't escape, Junior Brother. The more you try to escape and the more delay you cause, the more pain I will inflict on you and make you obedient. You can't escape; I am the future ruler of this kingdom,' Feng Bing Huang thought as her eyes turned lifeless for a moment before returning to normal. Bai Chenyu shivered when he noticed her Yandere mode.

'Yep, I need to get stronger quickly so I can attend the underground auction,' Bai Chenyu thought to himself.

"Alright, let's go inside," Mo Xiao said as they entered his place, Feng Bing Huang and Bai Chenyu following closely.

"Whoa!" Bai Chenyu exclaimed when he saw the marvelous interior of the place. Even in his previous life, he hadn't seen such a luxurious space, being born into affluence. Witnessing such a magnificent place astounded him.

"You don't need to be so shocked, Chenyu. Your place, like your Senior Sister's, will also be like this," Mo Xiao informed with a smile, bringing Bai Chenyu out of his trance.

Rumble

Mo Xiao brought them to a secluded place within the house and wove some symbols. Some walls of the place split apart. Bai Chenyu was shocked, while Feng Bing Huang had only a mild surprise on her face, as these types of things were common in her royal palace.

"Master, is this your personal treasury? Even I am surprised seeing some unfamiliar treasures," Feng Bing Huang asked in a neutral voice as they entered a place filled with various treasures. Some of them caused even Feng Bing Huang to look in shock as they emitted an aura stronger than the treasures in her own place.

"Haha, I've collected all these over the period of my life. You can select a few later if you want," Mo Xiao said, not being stingy with his disciples. Both Bai Chenyu and Feng Bing Huang nodded their heads, happy at the prospect of picking treasures from there.

Soon, they stopped in front of a table with a jade orb placed on top of it.

"Alright, Chenyu, go and place your hand on top of the orb, and it will reveal the name and rank of your physique," Mo Xiao instructed. Feng Bing Huang had a look of surprise that Bai Chenyu had a physique.

"Master, what is this orb? I've never heard of any treasure that could identify the rank and name of a physique," Feng Bing Huang asked. Even though she was young, she knew a lot of things that ordinary cultivators and even some sect leaders might not know, thanks to her father, the King

"Even I have no idea. I got it from a cultivator who died under my fist," Mo Xiao replied.

'System, can it detect my Celestial Qi?' Bai Chenyu asked for his peace of mind, confident that it cannot.

[Negative. It is impossible for anything other than the system or the user to know about this.]

Bai Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the system's reply and placed his hand on top of the crystal. He could feel spiritual energy within being sucked by the orb, and then it glowed golden, with a few words appearing on it.
