Chapter 65 – Succubus Blood Essence and Xie Tian's Departure

Xu Xiuying had a wry smile on her face. She was disgusted by Xu Miao's action as she didn't think that her adopted son would consume it on the spot.

Meanwhile, Wei Huang, who was aware of the essence's production process and its real source, had to cover his mouth. He almost vomited when Xu Miao drank it. The elder glanced at Xu Miao in admiration for his courage and ignorance.

As for those who didn't know about what the REAL Succubus Blood Essence was, they looked at Xu Miao in envy. Having an immunity against mind attacks was better than obtaining a high-grade weapon as it stayed with the cultivator until he died.

***************************************

.

As soon as Xu Miao swallowed all the blood, the system spammed several messages in front of him. But when he realized the truth of what he had just drunk, he almost vomited.

*COUGH* *COUGH*

Xu Miao wanted to shove his finger into his throat and throw out what he had drunk. It was disgusting to the point that tears dropped from his eyes.

The remnant qi, essence, and demonic essence were helpful, but it couldn't change the fact that the blood came from Xu Xiuying's THAT area.

"Y-YOU!!"

Xu Miao wanted to yell at Xu Xiuying out loud that she tricked him, but he couldn't explain how he learned about the item's source.

'A succubus is a demoness, right? Succubus Blood Essence is Xu Xiuying's blood, so this fucking bitch is definitely a demon! That's great, VERY FUCKING GREAT! My new wife is an oni, and my foster mother is a fucking succubus! Hell, I won't be surprised if a random old man shows up and claim that he's a fucking demon lord!'

Xu Miao had just learned too much information from the system. He just got himself another trauma because of Xu Xiuying. Moreover, the new quest wanted him to drink more of her blood to get the incubus bloodline.

An incubus was a counterpart of a succubus. In myths and legends, these demons had intercourse with sleeping women to drain their life essence. Victims usually suffered from health deterioration or death. Some might bear children of these demons.

Xu Miao wasn't into Christian myths in his previous world, but he knew that incubi had something to do with sex. He wasn't fond of growing into something weird since he was already perverted enough.

After drinking the blood, Xu Miao covered his mouth and bowed to both Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying. Then, he excused himself, pretending that he needed rest.

...

The brief reward ceremony was over, but the main event had just begun. The three rounds of exams were just appetizers for what was about to happen.

Inner disciples from the silver phoenix sect and mountain goose sect started warming up. They relaxed their joints and stretched their muscle, preparing for the extra round of exams.

The next trial would focus on them. All successful candidates could try their luck by challenging an inner disciple in a 1-on-1 duel. If a candidate could win or impress the sect elders, that test-takers could be promoted into an inner disciple right away.

At the same time, outer disciples could use this opportunity to challenge their seniors. If an outer disciple could defeat one of them, the victor could be promoted as well.

This rules seemed flawed as inner disciples could throw the matches and give these test-takers a favor. However, Jia Shan and Xu Xiuying were aware of such a loophole.

Thus, they warned their inner disciples that if they were to lose, the loser would be demoted to an outer disciple.

The penalty was simple, but it was effective. No inner disciple wanted to lose to anyone.

Also, there was an additional rule. Inner disciples could also challenge a promising test-takers, aka top 10 rankers on the leaderboard. They could demonstrate their prowess and teach these kick-starters a lesson not to look down on their seniors.

The fourth trial round was safer than the previous rounds. As they were now fellow disciples and colleagues, all elders would monitor the duels closely. They would stop the match when someone's life would be at risk.

Still, death occasionally occurred during this round. Many inner disciples always used this test to eliminate their rivals or enemies. Sometimes, fellow inner disciples challenged each other into a deathmatch.

Jian Meng finished explaining the rules of the fourth round. Many spectators got excited to see the power of the top inner disciples, who would become powerful individuals in the future.

"All silver phoenix's inner disciples are early 4th stage elites, but their Qi volume is always superior to mountain goose's inner disciples at the same rank. I wonder which disciple is the strongest."

"That is obviously either Wei Xiang or Xiang Zhenzhen!"

"But I heard Xiang Zhenzhen has already become Xu Xiuying's legacy disciple. She isn't here this year."

"Then, Wei Xiang should dominate this show. He's level 10 4th-stage master. He is as strong as top elders from small noble clans!"

Speculations went on as the crowd was waiting to see the inner disciples' skills.

...

On the silver phoenix VIP stand, Xie Tian, Kang Yan, and Xu Miao regrouped and waited for Qi Hong and Qi Ning's instructions. While they were waiting, everybody shared their adventure stories.

Kang Yan and the 8 outer disciples laughed and cheered as they retold their stories and their encounters. Some of them flocked around Xie Tian as they were indebted to him.

"Brother Xie, you're so cool when you fought those bastards. How did you get that treasure sword?"

"Junior Xie, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Tell us where you found that flame sword!"

"Where did you learn your dragon fire technique? Can you teach me?"

Xu Miao's face twitched in disgust when he saw how these women were seducing Xie Tian. He got more annoyed when Kang Yan's face blushed as she kept glancing at the protagonist.

'As expected of a protagonist, this bastard is a chick magnet. Also, Kang Yan, you slut! You're supposed to be my pet! Why are you blushing and looking at him!?'

Xu Miao made up his mind. Once he returned, he would teach Kang Yan a lesson. But for now, Xu Miao planned to manipulate Xie Tian into making more enemies, so he could acquire more allies to kill this protagonist.

Before Xu Miao could say anything, Qi Hong walked toward Xie Tian and slapped his face.

*PA*

Everybody stopped talking. They looked at Qi Hong in shock.

Qi Hong didn't say anything to Xie Tian, but she turned to Xu Miao, "I'm sorry, young master Xu. Due to our political issue, your mother has ordered me to expel Xie Tian from the Xu Clan."

"WHAT!?"

The girls were shocked. They couldn't believe that Qi Hong and Xu Xiuying would dismiss Xie Tian out of the blue.

"Elder Qi, why!?" Kang Yan protested. She looked highly of Xie Tian as he seemed to be a trustworthy guy. She and her friends were also indebted to him, so she disapproved of the dismissal.

Qi Hong glared at the girls, "Because of your incompetence, Xie Tian had to save you and killed those bastards! We ended up offending the mountain goose sect and many noble families. Do you know that Wei Huang almost started a clan war with us!?"

"W-What?"

"If we keep Xie Tian with us, those families will think that we were trying to sabotage the mountain goose sect, and they would band together and wage war against our sect! We can't keep this troublemaker anymore, especially when he almost killed Wei Feng! Now, the Wei Clan is targeting us!"

"..."

Xu Miao was observing the drama from the sideline. When he heard that Xie Tian killed several mountain goose disciples, he was surprised and rejoiced.

'Muahahaha! Moron! Who asked you to save them? A busy-body like you is nothing but a troublemaker! Thank you for offending the Wei Clan. You've saved me a lot of trouble. Heck, I wouldn't have had to deal with Wei Yuan had you killed them earlier!'

While Xu Miao was grinning from ear to ear, Xie Tian didn't notice the former's expression. He gazed at the girls and gave them an apologetic smile before he turned to Qi Hong.

Xie Tian cupped his fist, "I understand. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I will excuse myself and leave the Xu Clan. You don't have to worry about the consequences of what I did. I'll take full responsibility for my actions!"

"No! Junior Xie, I-" Kang Yan still wanted Xie Tian to stay, but Qi Hong seized her shoulder and stopped her.

Xie Tian nodded at the girls and Kang Yan with a bitter smile. Then, he walked toward Xu Miao.

Xu Miao assumed a pokerface, hiding his happy expression. He looked at Xie Tian in solemn, "If you insist on staying, I can cover for you."

Xie Tian shook his head, "Thank you, young master Xu. I'm sorry for disappointing you and your clan. I shall take my leave."

"I see," Xu Miao tossed a bottle with a pill to Xie Tian, "Even though I can't stop you, that pill can give a boost to your strength in a dire situation. Good luck with your endeavor. I hope that we can still be friends when we meet again."

"Me, too. Thank you for saving Jiang Lan and everything you've done for me. I swear that I'll repay you someday."

"... Stay safe, brother."

"You, too."

Xie Tian left the silver phoenix VIP stand with a sad expression. On the contrary of Xie Tian, Xu Miao watched the protagonist leaving with an evil crescent smile.

'Indeed, the pill will boost your strength for a few minutes, but it will permanently cripple your growth! Go ahead and eat the pill, and you won't get stronger anymore!'

What Xu Miao gave Xie Tian was a new pill from the system shop, which he had prepared for this occasion for a long time.
