Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 634 - 586: Is There No One Left on Earth?
...
After being tormented for ten days, Wu Hen found a serene "therapeutic foot bath" shop.
"Here you go. Give good service, and you'll be well paid," Wu Hen said after selecting a therapist among the many ancient-clothed beauticians, one who somewhat resembled the Cold-blooded Woman, to give himself a healthy foot massage and also ease his mental traumas.
"Is the water temperature alright?"
"It's perfect."
"Is the pressure okay?"
"Just right..." Wu Hen closed his eyes and slumped into the lazy chair.
He hadn't expected that the foot bath culture from his hometown had spread to Infinite City so quickly. Now, even in Otherworldly Dust, he could enjoy such a classical and elegant foot bath service from a traditional beauty.
After soaking for a while, Wu Hen felt his knees become stronger again.
What Holy Sect's number one expert, Cang Chu's martial might pinnacle... Once he found the right opportunity to elevate his strength, he would definitely have Cold-blooded Woman Cai Lan personally give him a foot bath.
"So here you are."
As Wu Hen was washing away his inner displeasure, an ethereal woman walked in. She had starry eyes and jade-like skin, with a touch of purple sand on her forehead, making her a joy to behold.
"Fairy Gong Qin, long time no see. Come, come, join me for a soak... soak our feet!" Wu Hen said enthusiastically.
Fairy Gong Qin was the quintessential beautiful flower vase. Not only was she a feast for the eyes, but she also wasn't petty. Apart from occasionally being influenced by heart demons, she had no significant shortcomings. Most importantly, as the No.1 flower vase designated by him, her combat strength wasn't much inferior to that of the Cold-blooded Woman. In fact, after some time of training, she fit his temper perfectly.
"Foot baths help with blood circulation and can clear blocked meridians. For someone like you who practices swordsmanship all day, you'll definitely have many hidden ailments. Soaking will be good for your health and skin, even improve physiological imbalances... Oh, but you're a fairy; you probably don't have those issues," Wu Hen said.
Fairy Gong Qin didn't quite understand what Wu Hen was talking about. She dazedly lay down beside him, putting her cool jade-like feet into the water... It was indeed very comfortable and made her whole body relax.
"Du Mao said you like coming here. Mm, mm, it's very comfortable..." Fairy Gong Qin said.
"Right? Now that I'm an Immortal too, though I still don't know how to make my lifespan like yours, the most important thing in cultivation is happiness. If you aren't happy, living for a thousand years is just like enduring one year day by day—let alone 365,000 years of depressive times," Wu Hen said.
"I haven't found a Sword Immortal inheritor yet. Using the method left by my master, I've been searching in your Divine Realm. After great difficulty, I finally found a family with abundant spiritual energy..." Fairy Gong Qin said.
"I heard that those with the aptitude for cultivation are one in a billion. If our Divine Realm has someone aligning with your immortal energy, that would be extremely fortunate. Did you talk with that family? Do they have any disciples suitable for the Sword Immortal Lineage?" Wu Hen asked.
"Yes. A descendant of that family is suitable for various Immortal practices. Unfortunately, due to my lesser cultivation level, the descendant was taken away by a senior Golden Immortal. That senior must have performed his deduction earlier," Fairy Gong Qin said with some regret.
The more Wu Hen listened, the more something felt off. He then looked at Fairy Gong Qin and seriously asked, "Is the descendant you're talking about a girl?"
"Yes," Fairy Gong Qin nodded.
"Is that descendant called Yu Yu?" Wu Hen asked.
"How did you know? Did you deduce it too?" Fairy Gong Qin said with some surprise.
Wu Hen's face turned dark.
Is Infinite City out of people?
Fairy Gong Qin's chosen inheritor has turned out to be from his own family.
"The family you went to is mine. The descendant you're looking for should be my younger sister," Wu Hen said.
"Ah?? If that's your sister, why is her surname Yu and yours Wu?" Fairy Gong Qin asked in confusion.
"She took our mother's surname. If she took our father's surname, she would be called Wu Yu. She had a language barrier since childhood..." Wu Hen explained.
"Oh!" Fairy Gong Qin nodded, then a smile appeared on her cheeks, "It's regretful that the most talented sister of that family was taken away. Afterward, I used my master's magic artifact to perform a further deduction and found that the brother of that family also had a bit of immortal fate... I've been wondering where to find this brother, but it turns out he was here soaking his feet! Just as the artifact deduced, he indeed has a predestined connection with our Sword Immortal Lineage!"
Wu Hen's eyes widened like brass bells.
Has Infinite City run out of people???
Can't even find a suitable Sword Immortal descendant!!
"I... Although I have a sword, it's self-powered. I don't need to practice your Sword Immortal techniques!" Wu Hen said very honestly.
"More skills won't weigh you down. Our Sword Immortal Lineage also needs to report to Heaven. Besides, you voluntarily taking up the task of Heavenly Repair, even if no one in your Divine Realm was suitable for the Sword Immortal Lineage, we would still have to pass on the Sword Immortal Skills. Who else to teach but you? With your high comprehension, you'll surely learn it," Fairy Gong Qin smiled, her eyes turning into fox-like slits.
How could a proper fairy smile so mischievously!
Wu Hen showed an expression of disapproval and only paid for his own foot bath.
Such a good friend with ulterior motives wasn't worthy of being treated to a foot bath by him.
"I'll be sterile within a month, and you want me to inherit your Sword Immortal Lineage? As one of the few fairies in Infinite City who shares my struggles, can't you consider my later years? You still want me to divide my attention to inherit your Sword Immortal techniques. Have you considered my feelings?" Wu Hen said grumpily.
"Immortals rarely have offspring anyway, so you fit right in!" Fairy Gong Qin said rather naively.
Wu Hen spat a mouthful of blood.
Is this what's called destiny?
Is the price of becoming an Immortal truly infertility?
If that's the case, he may indeed never find true happiness.
He could abstain, but he had to retain the right to want!
"No way, no way. My sister has already boarded your pirate ship, most likely becoming an old nun in the future, with no descendants. The Wu Family can't lack my progeny too. Fairy Gong Qin, I'll take your malice in good stride. I'll definitely be the master of your house in the next life," Wu Hen said.
"Your parents are still quite young; they can have more children, so don't worry about your concerns," Fairy Gong Qin said.
Wu Hen was dumbfounded.
"I asked Cai Lan about it. She said she typically teaches you the Holy Sect Techniques in the morning. We'll set the time in the afternoon and finish by evening so it won't interfere with your daily foot bath routine," Fairy Gong Qin said.
Obviously, Fairy Gong Qin had already laid out her plans long before. Her visit this time was just to inform Wu Hen.
"Haha, thank you for leaving time for my foot bath. Either you give me the full foot bath service, or no deal," Wu Hen firmly rejected, making an extremely embarrassing request for the fairy.
"Sure, it's quite simple. Just watching once is enough," Fairy Gong Qin smiled beautifully and readily agreed.
"Fairy, please have some dignity. How could the Sword Immortal Lineage produce someone as shameless as you!" Wu Hen angrily rebuked.
"I'm doing this for the good of the Human Clan. Didn't you always say that the Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing... If many problems can be solved with a foot bath, our Sword Immortal Lineage wouldn't mind opening such a therapeutic shop either."
Wu Hen felt like crying but had no tears.
Oh Heaven, please manage these morally declining immortals, this is outrageous!!
