Chapter 203: Jing. (Part 2000)

2,000th Life

  Courtney smiled as she stood over the sleeping boy in the Qi Gathering stage. She found him inside this hidden treasure trove on the side of a cliff just after risking her life jumping off a cliff to escape from more than a few wicked cultivators. Apparently, she had the perfect body for their master or whatever and wanted to capture her to give to him for whatever purpose. Considering she's been living in this continent for a few years now, she had a couple of thoughts on what he wanted to do with her. And when being taken forcefully as his wife or concubine is the most positive outcome, it was easy to understand why Courtney would refuse their offer.

  Inside the cliff side previously covered with numerous tough vines, she saw several valuables this boy has been hoarding for himself. A small garden of Evergreen Violets, a small pool of Divine Gold Water, and several small martial art manuals piled near the boy. With the Evergreen Violets, she could purify her dantian to have purer qi. Purer qi would reduce the difficulties in breaking through, increase the power of her qi, and make it easier to control. For the Divine Gold Water, it would completely remove the impurities from within her body and if she stays inside long enough it was also possible to drastically improve her own body by remaking it from scratch.

  She could see the boy was waking up soon. Courtney quietly made her way over to his defenseless body, gently wrapped her self-crafted meteor hammer's chain around his throat, and prepared herself to see how he looked when he's just woken up by being strangled. While she did have some questions for him, Courtney could save that after the strangling. A boy of his realm shouldn't have made it this deep inside the Immortal Forest. Any spirit beast would be able to kill him with just a slap.

"Hey there little brother..." Courtney gently whispered into his ears. "I hope you don't mind sharing a few of these treasures with big sister." She smiled before tightening her chain around his throat and watching his eyes nearly bulge out of his skull.

"Guk! Huak! Huk!" He choked.

  Pleasure seemed to flow into Courtney's body from how he wildly flailed around. She could see a shiny purple ring on his index finger and suddenly an impressive sword coming into his hands. Courtney had to wring his neck upwards as she stood up to prevent herself from being sliced but she never stopped choking him. The sound of him choking was like a heavenly musical performance for her ears that sent her body crazy. Even as a full minute passed, he still had plenty of energy left in him to move around which only excited her more.

  Because of how feisty and attached to living he was, Courtney decided to have some extra fun herself by slipping a hand into her underwear and pleasuring herself while choking the Qi Gatherer with only one hand. His will to live eventually brought him to knocking her against the cave wall in an attempt to bash her skull against the wall before he suffocated. Courtney's fingers moved just as fiercely as this boy was attempting to keep his own life until eventually that sword he had in his hand was pointed at his own stomach. He drove it towards his own stomach in an attempt to kill them both.

"You're impressing me more and more, you know that?" Courtney laughed as she released the hold of her meteor hammer's chain and kicked the boy away before he could perform a double suicide.

  Taking her hand out of her panties drenched in her juices, she flicked it with a wave of her hand before rushing over to the downed boy. He eagerly took this chance to gulp as much air as he could when he should've been using it to get up and prepare to fight her off. Courtney used this chance to grab her chain again and tighten them against his neck once more but not before sharply kicking his hand, making the sword fly into the Divine Gold Water. Her eyes could tell that the sword wasn't an ordinary blade either because of its appearance but her main focus was letting herself finish. Him having a bit more fight in him only made her wonder just how much could he handle.

  As she was strangling him for a second time while getting herself off, she couldn't get into it like she did before. That was because the weak handsome idiot decided to give up struggling now that he lost his sword. All signs of fight and resistance were gone. Now he was just waiting for death to take him.

"How boring. You were a lot more fun when the thought of death terrified you." Courtney loosened up her hold around his throat as she got up from the floor.

"Hack! Hack!" He violently coughed before taking deep breaths of air again. "Who are you...?" That was his first question.

"Who me?" Courtney smiled.

  Before giving him a ruthless kick across the face that sent him flying away into the wall and loosening a few teeth from his mouth.

"No one special. Just a wandering cultivator you can find anywhere." She answered.

"Why are you doing this...?" He viciously glared at her, not understanding that it only excited her more.

"Do I need to provide you a reason for my actions?" She slowly walked over to him. 'So, it turns out that his will wasn't broken yet even in the face of death. Good... I can have a little more fun.'

"If you want the treasures, I'll give them to you! Just let me leave..." He tried to bargain.

  Courtney kicked him in his stomach and a heavy groan escape from his chest. She then stomped on his back multiple times before kicking him over onto his back. A quick glance into his eyes revealed fear but not deathly fear. There was something he was hiding. A trump card but what kind of trump card? Why hasn't he used it yet? Has she not pushed him far enough yet?

  Or maybe, it's a trump card that he has no control over. Nothing but questions. Earlier he stopped struggling and accepted that he was going to die. Perhaps death was the answer in triggering the trump card. But what kind of insane bloodline would that be? Wouldn't any sect go crazy in accepting an immortal disciple?

'Hmm... An immortal slave sounds pretty useful...' Courtney thought of it in a different way.

  But it's going to take some time to train him and whip him into shape. Taking a second look around her surroundings, she was going to need time to properly consolidate all these treasures in the first place. Doing both shouldn't be too much of a problem. He was just a Qi Gatherer while she was in Core Preparation realm, two major realms above him.

  Courtney had faith in her abilities that she should be able to break him before using up all the treasures in this place. The first treasure she had her eye on was that shiny little ring on his finger. Who knew how many more treasures he had stored in that thing? Her first plan to find out just how much he had hidden in there.

"Take a quick nap for me, will you?" Courtney knocked him out with a well-placed kick to the back of the skull.

  He dropped like a sack of potatoes to the ground as Courtney went to grab his storage ring. As she tried ripping it off his finger, a powerful wave of qi blew her away when she tried doing so. Her head smashed against the cave wall and it hurt bad, pissing her off. She went to try again but instead of directly trying to take the ring off, she wanted to skip pass its defensive measures by cutting off his index finger. Another strong wave of qi tried to stop her from doing so but she was prepared this time. Courtney coated her body in qi and with a small knife hidden in her clothes chopped down to cut the finger off.

  Unfortunately, this still didn't help as she was sent flying away once more.

'Fine. If the finger is a no-go, then I'll try the whole damn hand!' Just how smart could a ring be?

  With her knife pressed against the wrist, she sliced down only to feel heavy resistance stopping her. Once again, she was blown back by the qi but she did not give up! It was obvious that there was something incredibly good inside the storage ring. She would have to be a fool to give up so soon!

  After countless hours of trying to take the ring, Courtney finally managed to think of a plan that used the storage ring's power against it. By wrapping a small chain coated in her qi around the ring finger, she tried cutting off the ring to get it to blast her away again. When it felt her intention to gain the ring, the defensive mechanism came into play and tried blowing her away. Courtney madly laughed as she tightened the chain around the finger, causing the defensive qi wave to work in her favor by aiding her in tearing the finger off along with the finger. The boy screamed as he woke up with his finger missing but Courtney didn't give a rat's ass about that.

"You're mine now, you stubborn ring!" She easily removed the ring off the detached finger and placed it on her middle finger before binding to it.

  Courtney's eyes were nearly blinded by the treasures residing inside.
