Chapter 25: The Eaglet Fainted

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When the loose black robe slid down her chest, the witch seemed to have felt something. She looked up and shot a glance at Chu Chen.

What met her eyes was the sight of the eaglet staring at her with its beak slightly opened. That small little head showed an extremely human-like expression, like one who had been dazed. That caused the witch to suddenly take a breath and blush for no reason.

“Pervert!”

She muttered, then turned around before she had slowly taken off her clothes. She would have never imagined there had been a male human soul hidden within the body of that adorable little hatchling.

As the robes fell off, a figure of absolute beauty that had been sufficient to overshadow heaven and earth, appeared before his eyes.

Although Chu Chen’s sight only allowed him to see her back. That tender fair skin, slender waist, and slender legs still managed to piece together a scene that shocked him to his core. At that moment, Chu Chen’s mind went blank.

‘S-s-so this is a girl’s body?’

He had been dazed, falling utterly into a state of shock. However, the next instant, his eyes paused for a moment. With an eagle’s keen vision, even the darkness of the night did not stop him from seeing the faded red crisscrossed scars that had been on the witch’s fair back. It had been very obvious.

‘Her wounds…have yet to recover!’

Chu Chen sighed feebly in his mind. Those faded red scars ruined the beauty of her perfect jade-like back.

It had been like defects on a full piece of white jade. However, looking at it from a different perspective, those scars gave her a rather unique charm. It had been the charms of fragility that made others unconsciously have felt the urge to have protected her from future harm! Otherwise, it would have been such a waste to have this perfect body ruined.

Just as that thought passed Chu Chen’s mind, he had noticed that the witch shivered slightly and had unconsciously shuddered after taking off her clothes. She then slowly walked into the warm spring water.

Only then had Chu Chen realized that there had been an extremely rare natural and medicinal spring around him.

This type of medicinal spring had been a natural blessed ground. It had been filled with the abundance of the earth’s, fire’s and waters’ spiritual energy. These had been treasured grounds that had generally been used to treat wounds, stabilize essences, and harmonize Qi. All that time, they had been greatly loved by the female disciples of any sects.

Just like the Blue Flower Valley that his junior sister stayed at, it had been rumored to have had a natural hot spring that had been specifically used by female disciples for baths.

“Do you want to come in for a bath?”

The witch breathed out comfortably and asked him softly as she submerged her body entirely in the water. 

Chu Chen had been stunned, then quickly looked around him. After confirming that the witch had been talking to him, he subconsciously gulped hard.

‘S-s-she…she’s asking me to join her in the bath?’

‘Amitabha, form is emptiness and emptiness is form! See no evil, hear no evil…’

Chu Chen’s mind had been filled with all sorts of random thoughts. However, his body had seemingly been out of his control. He had spread his wings and flew to the witch’s side. Right at that moment, she turned her body around slowly.

How great was an eagle’s vision? They are able to see a rabbit’s hiding in the grass from a couple of kilometres in the air. Moreover, this eaglet had been a mutated species with an even greater vision.

With such a wonderful vision, the clear spring water served no purpose at all to have impeded his view. In that moment, blissfulness had been fully displayed before his eyes…

Pfft!

Chu Chen, who had been unable to resist any longer, had blood shot out of his nose. His body then limped and fell head first into the water.

“What happened to you?”

Seeing the eaglet fainting suddenly, the witch had been shocked. She quickly stood up and tried to carry him.

Yet all she saw was the eaglet that fell into the water had seemingly woken up by the warm water. It then shook its head wildly before it flapped its wings and flew out of the pool, having fled off into the distance.

The witch had been left behind, completely befuddled and having not understood what happened to the crazy eaglet.

Chu Chen felt that if he had stayed any longer, he would be the first eagle in history that died from nosebleed.

Such an erotic night had no doubt been too much of an excitement for a virgin like Chu Chen.

He quickly returned to his own nest, clumsily swallowed down the remaining few fragments of eggshells before he fell into deep slumber to have transfigured back into his human form.

His mind had been plagued by all that he had seen that night. He twisted and turned in bed for a while. He then realized that he would not have been able to have slept that night.

After some consideration, he looked at the sky outside. It had been 11pm. In six hours, he had to be up as he promised to help Elder Ling Xin. 

‘Six hours…what should I do…’

As Chu Chen had been deep in thought, he had seen the freshly picked purple spiritual herbs from earlier. His eyes brightened immediately! Since he had already been bored, he thought that he might as well have taken a stroll at the sect market and to have checked out how much these purple spiritual herbs could be sold for!

With that thought in mind, Chu Chen got up and got dressed. He then took the spiritual herbs and headed to the hillside market.

The sect market had been different from ordinary markets.

Disciples would usually wake up from their meditation without a set time. Even in the middle of the night, there may be those who needed to trade or purchase treasures.

Due to that, there had been no difference between day or night. People would be crowding the place for 24 hours. 

When he arrived at the market, Chu Chen did not waste any time. He headed directly to the slightly better-looking elixir store in the market. 

The sleepy shop owner opened his eyes slightly and took a look at Chu Chen. “Kid, go to another shop. My shop does not serve disciples who have yet to have reached the Spiritual Droplets Stage.”

His intentions had been clear. Disciples who had been lower than the Spiritual Droplets Stage could not afford to buy good stuff. Hence, they would also not have been able to produce decent goods to sell.

Chu Chen, who had just placed the purple spiritual herbs on the counter, nodded. He did not hesitate, but instead wanted to take the spiritual herbs back and leave.

Having seen Chu Chen’s action, the store owner’s sleepy eyes suddenly brightened up. Like a hungry wolf, his eyes had been filled with envy!

“Where did you get these spiritual herbs from?” The store owner grabbed Chu Chen, his gaze had been filled with an unmatched excitement. His old face somehow took on a forced friendly smile.

Chu Chen frowned slightly, then calmly moved his arm away from the store owner’s grasp. “You don’t need to know where it came from. I still have some in my hands. However, I only have this for sale now. Can you calculate how much I can get for these spiritual herbs?”

“Of course it’ll be a good price.” The old store owner seemed to have thought of something, then pulled Chu Chen to a corner in his store and lowered his voice. “Little brother, these spiritual herbs are of high level. Even with my knowledge, I can’t be fully sure. However, I can assure you that these are extremely valuable spiritual herbs that’s worth at least 20 spirit stones!”

“At least 20 spirit stones?” Chu Chen had been stunned as his eyes had also been filled with surprise.

He had only managed to save up to half a spirit stone in the past three years. 20 spirit stones had been considered a huge sum!

“Where did little brother find these spiritual herbs from? It’s an ominous item that carries a destructive property. If you don’t handle it well, it might endanger your life!” A fearful look flashed in the old store owner’s eyes.
