Chapter 36: Old Women Are Crazy
Chen Wentian had to take a few moments to recover. Being a doctor was more physically tiring than fighting against an immortal. His little brother was in distress from the stinging pain. It looked shriveled and sad as he put it away. His groin still ached and he remained hunched over as he pulled each woman out of the water and removed evidence of his deeds. He rubbed his hands over their warm bodies one last time before putting their clothes back on. He then removed the isolation barrier and walked out.
"Qianyu, I healed them!"
"Master!" Wu Qianyu was anxiously waiting outside and ran to him. "Are they...?"
"They are fully healed, just resting. Did help arrive?"
Wu Qianyu shook her head, "Why are they so slow? But Master, you arrived so fast!"
"Haha, that just means I care about you a lot." Chen Wentian teased. Wu Qianyu blushed in response. His amateurish flirting was effective?
He took advantage and quickly embraced her. "I didn't get a chance to check on you, are you hurt? There's blood on your robe!" He examined her and rubbed his roguish hands over her body.
"Master..." Wu Qianyu squirmed in his arms, "I took a healing pill, I'm ok."
As he was feeling up his disciple, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. Crack! His reflexive punch deflected an ice blade that came down from above that almost took his head off.
"Scoundrel! Unhand that woman!" A rusty old female voice screamed above him."About time..." Chen Wentian muttered as he flew up to meet the new person.
She wore the same styled white robes as the five women but it was much richer and lined with gold. Her hair was pure white. Her skin was shriveled and wrinkly. This old immortal grandma looked about as old as someone could get.
"Vile spawn." She spat, "You harmed my disciples and now you want to ruin another woman! Die!"
The air around her exploded in a blizzard. The temperature became abysmally cold and even the air seemed to freeze solid. She immediately formed more than a hundred ice blades and launched it at Chen Wentian.
This stupid crazy bitch, Chen Wentian thought in disgust. He exploded his blue dragon flames as he countered the ice domain with his own flame domain. The tyrannical flames vaporized the ice blades that came into its domain. They came to a deadlock as half the sky seemed to be dancing with white ice while the other half was raging in blue flames.
"Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian, greets Elder Murong Aiyin." He cupped his fists in greeting.
The old woman seemed to calm down a bit, "Oh its you... Explain what the hell happened!" She was still at the yelling stage.
Chen Wentian sighed and explained about ice fiend but left out the part about the Frozen Netherworld Jade or his attempts at playing doctor. He merely said that they were frozen by the ice fiend and that he had to use his flame energy to thaw them out.
Murong Aiyin looked at him with suspicion but huffed and flew into the cave to examine her disciples. By that time, the five women were mostly alright and Murong Aiyin was able to wake them quickly. She listened to their stories and also Wu Qianyu's version of events. Chen Wentian felt his story was a bit flimsy so he also flew a bit higher. Murong Aiyin seemed satisfied and glad to have her disciples alive until... the inevitable happened...
"Chen bastard! I'll rip your d.i.c.k off!" An inhuman screech sounded from the cave as a rocket of ice shot towards Chen Wentian.
"Oh boy..." Chen Wentian slapped his face as he activated his blue dragon flames to the fullest.
He met the ice missile head on and was forced several thousand meters into the air before he dissipated the energy. He was then immediately met with a gleaming blade of ice which aimed straight at his crotch! This old woman was way too crazy!
"Get back here! You inbred slag, you turtle's grandson!" Murong Aiyin's old gravely voice screeched. It sounded like sandpaper against his ears.
"Calm down!" Chen Wentian yelled as he dodged the icy slashes and stabs toward his little brother. It seemed to shrink into his body in terror.
"Calm down? Calm down? You defiled my disciples and I catch you trying to seduce another woman. I'll have your head!"
"Its not what you think!" He pleaded but it was useless and the attacks only increased in ferocity as Chen Wentian was miserably chased across the sky.
Finally, he had enough after suffering several cuts and he flew down towards the cave. "Qianyu! Sword!" He yelled.
She understood him and slung her Purple Jade Sword towards him. He caught it deftly and turned to clash with the crazy old witch chasing after him. The sword seemed to hum with delight as blue flames engulfed it. He met Murong Aiyin's ice sword and the ice sword was instantly shattered into dust, blowing her back several steps. She tried to attack again and again with new ice swords but they met the same fate. Chen Wentian quickly gained the upper hand through his weapon and pushed her back. Murong Aiyin eventually got a clue and retreated.
"Ridiculous... Spirit Lord weapon... Who is she to you?" She glared hatefully at the purple sword dancing in his hand.
"Oh, she's my disciple." Chen Wentian beckoned and Wu Qianyu obediently came to his side.
She gave a bow, "Master!" She also turned to Murong Aiyin and bowed, "Elder Immortal, please stop fighting my master, we can talk peacefully."
"You have a Spirit Lord weapon and you let a disciple like her use it?" Murong Aiyin was incredulous.
"..." Chen Wentian ignored her, "Back to the matter at hand. I'm sorry for not telling the whole truth earlier."
He withdrew the Frozen Netherworld Jade from his spatial bag. Murong Aiyin could only stare stupidly at the jade on the ground which was as large as a person. He then explained about the netherworld yin imbued ice fiend and ordeal with netherworld yin energy and his method of treatment. The five women could only stand to the side as they listened. They went from shock, to embarrassment, to shame, and finally to trepidation.
"Therefore, by the time you got here, they would have already been crippled if I didn't perform the treatment." Chen Wentian concluded.
Murong Aiyin let out a harsh laugh, "So you think you're some hero, for defiling my disciples? Do you know why Glacier Palace only accepts v.i.r.g.i.n women? Eternal Winter Sutra can only be cultivated with v.i.r.g.i.n yin!"
She pointed to Li Yuechan, "Yuechan, try to wield your eternal ice."
Li Yuechan visibly struggled to form an ice sword with her hand. Afterwards, she swung the sword, only for it to shatter immediately. "Nooo!" She collapsed to the ground in tears.
The other four also tried but were met with same results. "Master!" They dropped to their knees as they cried, "Master! Please save us."
Murong Aiyin glanced at them indifferently, "The Eternal Winter Sutra's first requirement is pure yin. This art was passed down unchanged through thousands of years, what can I do?"
She looked at Chen Wentian, "However, you owe me for my disciples. I think I'll take this jade."
Chen Wentian could see the greed in the old bat's eyes and he let it go. The jade really wasn't too useful to him or his disciples. "Fine, take it. Don't bother me anymore."
"Agreed!" Murong Aiyin stored away the jade within her own spatial bag. Afterwards, she walked over to her disciples who were still kneeling in the snow.
She only gave them one last glance before saying, "I'm sorry, from this day forth, you are no longer disciples of Glacier Palace."
"What?" "No!" Li Yuechan and the rest cried out. "Please, Master! We'll try ten times as hard, a hundred times, please give us a chance!" "Master!"
They bowed their heads into the snow over and over again, miserably begging. But the old woman had a heart as hard as a diamond. Murong Aiyin extended her hand as icy spiritual force went into their robes and retrieved their sect badges. Without another word, she disappeared into the sky.
