Chapter 152 - Daughter Of A Bounty Hunter
[ Reaper’s Grasp ]

Before the mysterious girl could even finish saying the two words, Xiao Fang already had his hand clenched around her neck.
"Who else knows," he asked calmly.
Struggling to speak he slightly loosened his hold.
"If you kill me, everyone will know."
Xiao Fang was calm on the outside, but he was panicking within. If people knew he was a dual cultivator, then would he need to leave the sect and go into hiding? Could he even go back to the Divine Sword sect after this? No, he needed to settle things here.
"Who are you?" Xiao Fang asked.
The worry on the girl’s face lessened when she heard his question.
"My name is Yao Yin. I am the current head of the Inner court Disciplinary Department."
"How did you know what method I cultivated?"
"From what I know, people that cultivate that method will have their eyes glow violet during intercourse, but you are special. Your eyes are always violet, so I wasn’t sure. Clearly, I was right about you."
Xiao Fang choked her a bit tighter.
"My father, I learned about them from my father. He’s a bounty hunter," she confessed.
It was taking everything Xiao Fang had not to kill the girl he was holding, but something didn’t make sense.
’Why would she come to me and not tell her father?’ Xiao Fang wondered.
Xiao Fang let go of the girl.
The girl coughed a few times. The last time she saw him, his body cultivation wasn’t nearly this strong. That fact only confirmed to her that a taboo cultivation method was no joke, making her eyes shine greedily. The Dual Cultivation method wasn’t taboo for being immoral, it was taboo because of its frightening growth potential, or so she believed.
"Speak, what do you want," Xiao Fang said.
Yao Yin stood back up and faced Xiao Fang with confidence in her eyes.
"I want you to make me a Dual Cultivator."
"I refuse," Xiao Fang instantly replied.
"What? Why not?"
"If you get caught there’s a chance they will find me through you. Since your father is a bounty hunter the chance of something like that happening is even higher. Unless, of course, he doesn’t want to rip out the throat of the person who turned his precious daughter into a criminal," Xiao Fang explained his reasoning.
"You don’t have to worry about that. There are methods bounty hunters use to find people like you, but there are ways to avoid it as well. If you can teach me the method, I’ll even give you this."
In her hands, she held what looked like a torn page from a book. Xiao Fang was still wearing his blindfolds so he couldn’t see what was written on it. Yao Yin already knew Xiao Fang’s identity so there was no point in hiding it. After taking his blindfold’s off, he immediately noticed that she was looking away from his eyes. Instead, she seemed to be looking just over them.
’Hm, she really does know about the Dual Cultivation method,’ Xiao Fang thought.
Looking down at the paper in her hands, it read:
Technique name: Spirit Perception
!!!
Xiao Fang instantly recognized the name of the technique. It was the same technique Yu An used in his training growing up. It was the reason he feared his mother’s training more than his father’s.
"How... how did you get this?"
"My father is a bounty hunter, remember? He always keeps a trophy after he completes a mission."
Xiao Fang knew what she meant by ’completes a mission’. Likely he got it after hunting down another dual cultivator. Yao Yin regretted her choice of words.
"I need some time to think about it."
Yao Yin was a bit worried he might say that.
"I can’t keep this technique for long. If you want to practice this cultivation technique, you have to do it soon. The longer I have it the higher chance my father will realize it’s gone."
Xiao Fang hated making quick decisions like this. Since Xiao Kong destroyed all of the copies of the Dual Cultivation method, the only thing he could rely on was the incomplete method his mother made for him. The only problem with that was that he didn’t have any method specific techniques for it, so this was the second time he was encountering one, and it was arguably the most important technique of them all.
Besides the cultivation technique that he got from Chun Hua, all his Dual Cultivation techniques were rather taught to him by his mother, or created himself.
...
Every Cultivation method had at least one technique that grew with the user.
> The Divine Sword method had the [ Dragon Dance ] technique.
> The Death Reaper method had the [ Reaper’s Grasp ] technique.
> The Illusory Body method had the [ Illusory Clone ] technique.
> The Dual Cultivation method, had the [ Spirit Perception ] technique.
At this moment, Yao Yin was offering to give him the [ Spirit Perception ] technique. Whatever he had to do, he definitely needed to get his hands on it.
...
"Alright, I’ll do it, but I have conditions of my own. We can talk about it tonight at my place. Bring the technique with you," Xiao Fang said.
Yao Yin was overjoyed. Despite her excitement, she remained relatively calm on the outside. She had her own reasons for wanting to become a dual cultivator, this was her first step in walking the path she wanted to take.
"Mn, I’ll meet you here tonight," she finally smiled at him.
In the next moment, they both disappeared, as they were heading in different directions.

When Xiao Fang arrived at the arranged meeting spot for the tour, he saw only a few girls there, but they were impatiently waiting to get on with the tour.
"Long Wang, you finally arrived. Alright girls, please follow me. The tour will now begin."
"What?! We were waiting for him all this time?" The girls complained.
They all looked at Xiao Fang with a menacing gaze. It was only now that they realized why they had to wait so long.
’So much for first impressions,’ Xiao Fang thought.
