Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 333 - 166: New Neighbor Ma Xiaoqiu

“Huhu, I don’t want to go anywhere, I just want to be your maid on Little Cold Peak, to serve you, brother!”

Emei pouted, tears looming in her eyes.

“But you’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment period; there’s no one with this level of cultivation that is still someone’s servant. Furthermore, you understand your situation well- you might even build your core before me.”

Chen Yi turned a blind eye to her feigned sobbing, explaining calmly.

“Huhu… I don’t care, brother, don’t push me away. I’ve lost my parents and now I’m homeless. Wherever you are, that’s my home!

I don’t care whether I’m in the Foundation Establishment period or in Core Formation, I just want to be your maid!”

Emei hugged Chen Yi’s arm, her eyes welled up with tears.

Chen Yi sighed helplessly, in the end, all he could do was nod.

“If that’s so, then wait a bit. I’ll see if the steward of Cold Sword Gate has left. If not, we’ll rent the third Spirit Vein Peak too.

This way, the two of us, both in the Foundation Establishment period, will occupy two peaks which should be reasonable.

You’re in the Foundation Establishment period, so you must work hard to earn spirit stones to pay the rent.”

“Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh!” Little Emei nodded eagerly, her tears turning into laughter:

“I will work hard to earn spirit stones to support my brother! Hee hee!”

Just then, a female voice came from outside the Little Cold Peak:

“Could it be that little sister Emei has successfully reached the Foundation Establishment period? The girl next door, Ma Xiaoqiu, has come to congratulate you!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Emei instantly put away her spoiled appearance, her face becoming indifferent again.

After organizing her expression, she gave Chen Yi a small nod and,

Liu Emei gently waved her robe, opening the Array Method that protected the perimeter of Little Cold Peak. In the midst of the white Spiritual mist, a passage appeared.

A striking girl in a pale yellow dress flew in.

Ma Xiaoqiu’s looks weren’t breathtaking, but her features were very pleasing to the eye, the kind that became more charming the more you looked.

Perhaps, at first sight, you don’t find her annoying. After seeing her again, you find her relatively attractive,

Moreover, her every frown and smile were quite charming, her legs were extraordinarily long, her chest was full,

She was also a genius with Dual Spiritual Roots and a Second Tier Puppet Master.

It’s strange why someone like her who should be extremely popular among male cultivators, has no Cultivation Partners yet.

Chen Yi brushed off the thought, welcoming Ma Xiaoqiu to sit in the pavilion outside the Cave Mansion.

“Daoist Chen, congratulations on Sister Emei’s successful Foundation Establishment. This is a small gift from me.”

Ma Xiaoqiu handed over a small Storage Bag. Chen Yi scanned it with his Divine Sense and found that it actually contained a mid-tier first-tier Flying Puppet.

This was a significant gift. Although its level wasn’t high, a Flying Puppet is twice the price of a Flying Boat of the same level. This eagle shaped Puppet probably cost 300-400 spirit stones,

Such a generous gift from a new neighbor she just met was a bit too much.

“Diaoist Ma, you’re being too generous, is there something you need from me?”

Chen Yi liked to be straightforward, so he simply asked.

Ma Xiaoqiu smiled slightly, “Not really. Sister Emei and I hit it off right away, and I see a lot of myself in her, which makes me a bit emotional.”

At this moment, Emei, who was brewing tea not far away, walked over with the teapot,

She poured tea for Chen Yi and Ma Xiaoqiu, then took the Storage Bag from Chen Yi and thanked Ma Xiaoqiu coolly.

In front of Chen Yi, she liked to act spoiled and be a handful. However, when others were present, due to the influence of her Cultivation Method, Emei became more indifferent and aloof.

Emei poured two cups of tea and, out of habit, stood behind Chen Yi.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaoqiu frowned slightly:

“Chen Daoist, Emei has already reached the Foundation Establishment period. Are you still treating her as a servant?”

Chen Yi was taken aback, then laughed. Turning to Emei, he gestured her to sit next to him: “I forgot about that.

Emei, come sit with us, join us for tea. From now on, we will treat each other as equals.”

A hint of displeasure flashed through Liu Emei’s clear eyes. She was pulled forcibly to sit on the stone bench, looking very uncomfortable. She preferred standing behind Chen Yi and serving him tea.

“Chen Daoist, do you have any plans for the future?”

What Ma Xiaoqiu was naturally asking was about the matter of each foundation builder occupying one peak.

“Speaking of this, I wonder if Manager Ling has left. I will go and ask. If it’s alright, I will rent another Spirit Vein Peak. From now on, I will pay the rent for two places and Diaoist Ma will only need to pay for one.

You both chat first, I’ll go check.”

Saying that, Chen Yi stood up.

Left alone in the pavilion were the two women. Liu Emei’s eyes followed Chen Yi’s retreating figure, a flicker of warmth in her eyes.

“Look at the state of your mind.

“Now that you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment period, do you still want to be with Chen Daoist? Why don’t you choose to cultivate alone?”

Hearing this, Emei’s face, which had softened, suddenly turned cold:

“Senior Ma, I wonder if my stay with Brother Chen affects you in any way?”

“No, not at all. I just think that now you have successfully reached the Foundation Establishment, still being someone’s servant seems a bit …”

“It’s my choice.”

Emei responded indifferently once more, no wavering in her tone.

For some reason, seeing Emei’s attitude, Ma Xiaoqiu seemed to like her even more.

“Little sister, hey, don’t get me wrong. Let me tell you about me.”

“I used to be an orphan, picked up by the Ma Family, and trained as a servant.

When it was discovered that I had Spiritual Roots and could Cultivate, the Ma Family promoted me to adopted daughter and I accompanied the eldest son of the Ma Family in his cultivation.

After I was fifteen, I was identified as a genius with Dual Spirit Roots. Then, the Ma Family wanted to sell me to another large Immortal Cultivation Family; to be a concubine for a 70-year-old Qi refining ninth layer old man,

After I refused,

The Ma Family made me marry their eldest son forcibly, wanting me to bear offspring with high-level Spiritual Roots for them.

At that time, I was only at the third layer of Qi refining!”
