Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

Beast God City was still alive and active. It looked like not too many people had fled the monster invasion or perhaps they were attracted by the rewards? With the guests from the immortal competition gone, the real visage of the city was shown to Chen Wentian as he walked along the streets.

There were a lot more shops and stalls that were selling beast meat and beast materials. He saw many beasts in cages, slamming against their prison and snarling at pedestrians. The city felt a more a lot more wild and bloody in its true form. Chen Wentian recalled some habits of He Xingping and headed over to a vendor and bought a large sack of spiritual beast meat. With a gift in hand, he finally headed home afterwards without any more distractions.

"Master He!" The guard in front of his house saluted and guided him in.

"Master!"

Two female servants greeted him and followed him to his room where they helped out of his outerwear. They stripped him down to his underwear before bringing out a clean outfit. Chen Wentian in the past might have been aroused by the fresh and pretty faces of the maids and their tender hands as they touched his body. But he was very experienced with women now and he merely watched passively and let them do their work.

"Is the madam home?" Chen Wentian asked.

"Yes master."

"Good," Chen Wentian pointed to the bag he brought in, "Take this to the kitchen. Have it made for dinner. Now, leave me be."

He waved them off and went to his study. Chen Wentian spent a couple hours in there reviewing the doc.u.ments there. He Xingping's memory was a bit fuzzy about some aspects and reading the texts refreshed his knowledge about the history of the Beast God Sanctum and the situation of the province.

Another point of interest for Chen Wentian apart from the mystery of the Snake Lord's death and personal payback for various offenses was why the monster invasion was occurring. The three monster lords within the wilderness would occasionally force a monster invasion to cull their own numbers as well as find food for the strong. Only the strongest beasts and demons would survive and gain the most benefits from defeating and eating humans. The weaker ones would instead become food and cultivation resources for the humans. It was truly survival of the fittest.

For hundreds of years, the three human lords and the three monster lords held this sort of bloodbath of cultivation every twenty years or so. Yet according to the historical text, this current monster invasion was early by about five years. This coupled with the death of the Snake Lord smelled like a conspiracy.

Chen Wentian's thoughts immediately went to He Zicheng betraying mankind to join forces with the monsters. Yet this was highly improbable. What benefit would He Zicheng have from selling out his sect? Would he betray the Snake Lord and the Eagle Lord to merely become a pawn for the three monster lords? Was he that bored with life? Hell no!

But! Life was a good reason! All three lords were over five hundred years of age at least and it wasn't exactly clear how old they were. The maximum life of a Spirit Lord was about seven hundred years and if He Zicheng was worried about the end of his life, it would make some sense.

Death was scary for a mortal but it was even more terrifying for immortals that live through multiple lifespans. Most absolutely dreaded death and it could drive some crazy trying to breakthrough to the next realm to extend their life. Chen Wentian theorized that if He Zicheng was reaching the end of his life, perhaps he would be crazy enough to cooperate with the monster lords in exchange for some sort of cultivation breakthrough.

But! This line of thought also didn't make sense. Why would the monster lords risk He Zicheng breaking through to the next realm and annihilating them afterwards? Was was in it for them?

"Master, dinner time!"

The servant girls voice broke him out of his headache inducing thought session. He was barely ahead of where he started and everything was still foggy.

"Okay, lead the way."

Chen Wentian arrived at the dining room. There was a table filled with dishes. The spiritual beast meat had been turned into a roast and sat in the middle. He felt a hunger he hadn't felt in his immortal form and sat down to eat.

"Husband, come eat."

Chen Wentian looked over at the woman who was He Xingping's wife of almost twenty years, Qiu Jingyi. She was thirty eight this year and while not a great beauty, he appreciated her noble figure and elegant makeup. Her hair was put up in an elegant bun and her turquoise robes displayed her assets well. Perhaps it was He Xingping's opinions melding with his own, but he quite liked the mature and calm aura she carried.

He also realized he had made a slight miscalculation. His soul arts was not something he used on a whim and through an interesting set of coincidences, this was the first time his new body was already in a relationship. He chuckled at himself inwardly. He could have lost his v.i.r.g.i.nity a lot sooner if he cared about it more. This was also the first time in his life anyone had called him husband and it sounded nice...

"Mmm, lets eat. The spiritual wolf steak turned out great! Try it, it's really good."

"Okay... wow, this is indeed delicious!"

Words flowed smoothly out of his lips as He Xingping's half of the soul unconsciously took over the conversation with Qiu Jingyi, discussing his latest mission as well as various matters. He Xingping had a decent relationship with his wife even though they were still unable to have a child.

Qiu Jingyi was of noble upbringing, a descendant of another immortal under the Lion Lord. She was an excellent source of news about the sect for her husband. It seemed the cold war between the two factions were heating up. Two elders of their faction actually died in the last few days and the cause was a mystery though many suspected the Eagle Lord's people. Qiu Jingyi had been worried but was glad her husband was back safe. Chen Wentian thought differently as this conflict between the two factions was a good opportunity for him. He could do a lot of things from the shadows to cause more chaos.

They continued to talk about more mundane things after dinner for a little while but it was soon time for bed.

"Madam." A female servant bowed to them, "The bath is ready."

Chen Wentian got up and so did Qiu Jingyi. "Honey, go take your bath and come to my room afterwards."

Qiu Jingyi smiled in happy surprise. It had been a month since he last requested her.

"Yes, I'll be quick. Please wait." She said as she headed off, a tinge of pink on her cheeks.
