Chapter 17: Lily Palace

Returning to Cracked Jade Mountain Bai Jing told Ying Ying to not disturb her. Sitting down on a couch in the main area Bai Jing took out a jade slip and browsed through the information recorded on it, learning the new technique she just received from the library.

Ying Ying went to her room to cultivate and sat down cross-legged on a mat, relishing in the dense spirit energy in the surroundings. Operating her cultivation technique she felt the purer and dense spirit energy enter her meridians and dantian.

'How nice, my cultivation is more than twice as fast! This should be able to last at least two years before the spirit energy returns to normal levels. I should reach the peak of Foundation Establishment in that time.' Ying Ying thought happily.

Bai Jing and Ying Ying trained silently.

After a day Bai Jing had moved outside near the pond to practice her new technique. Her eyes would occasionally glow as she practiced.

The only time she took a break from her training was to eat, she even skipped her regular bath, choosing to continue practicing the technique.

After six days passed she would occasionally call for Ying Ying to come before her. Bai Jing's eyes would then glow with a slight blue tinge as she stared at Ying Ying before letting her return to her training.

Within these six days a group of men also arrived outside Cracked Jade Mountain that Bai Jing allowed to enter. These were construction and formation masters she had hired from Origin City to do some renovations on the house.

Bai Jing wanted a slightly more modern concept to the house, choosing to open up the house more as well as knocking down most of the back wall that faced the pond and garden, replacing it with giant clear crystal windows. Giving a relaxing and beautiful view from within the house.

Bai Jing had Ying Ying handle redecorating the house while she continued her training.

Little Zi was also cultivating in his own way, eating and relaxing. He liked to go on top of the rock jutting out from the pond and sleep. Even though he didn't actively cultivate, as a connate lifeform his strength was rising quickly and spirit energy would automatically gather towards him. At this rate he would reach Late-Stage Foundation Establishment soon.

Soon twelve days had passed, Bai Jing was still sitting in front of the pond when she felt a vibration from the sect token she now kept at her waist. Taking a break from training she checked on it, finding it to be a notification that the new disciples have been selected and would be officially joining tomorrow and there would be a ceremony.

The True Origin Sect held a recruitment every five years. These future disciples would go through various tests and if they passed they would join the sect. Those who failed but still did decent had the option of becoming servant disciples.

Servant Disciples were not disciples that were servants to other disciples, they were disciples that received no resources from the sect in any fashion. The only way they would receive resources was through missions or by their own ability.

The competition was stiff and deadly, it was often better for them to join lesser sects as they would have an easier time and receive more resources. However many still chose to stay there, for it was difficult to join the True Origin Sect if one had already joined another sect and the True Origin Sect has no lack for talents.

Being a disciple of the True Origin Sect, the strongest sect in the continent and among the best in the world, ensured one great honor and respect. Though, one had to at least be an Outer Disciple to earn that respect, and to become an outer disciple from a servant disciple was not easy. One had to do more than just show some kind of talent and rise in cultivation, there have been many cases where servant disciples have reached the Nascent Soul realm and still haven't qualified to become an Outer Disciple.

Realistically, only a handful of servant disciples manage to become outer disciples every hundred years, yet many still opt to become one.

After reading the message from the sect Bai Jing also received a message on her personal communication jade from Jiang Fu, telling her to go see the new disciple ceremony and that afterwards there will be a gathering where she can choose her new servant.

Bai Jing responded to Jiang Fu, ensuring him that she will be there.

Satisfied with the progress of her technique she got up and stretched, deciding to rest until tomorrow.

"Lil Zi lets go take a bath! Ying Ying get the bath ready!" Bai Jing shouted.

Litle Zi opened his eyes from atop the rock in the pond and flew to Bai Jing, landing atop her head.

Heading inside the house Bai Jing saw Ying Ying with a plate of sliced up fruit and tea that she placed on the table.

"Young Miss enjoy this snack and I will get the bath ready." Ying Ying said with a smile.

"Thanks!"

As Ying Ying walked away Bai Jing grabbed the plate of fruit and tea and made her way to the couch, laying down on it.

She ate and drank with relish, placing a slice of fruit on her forehead Litle Zi unhinged it's jaw and opened it's mouth wide, gobbling it down in one gulp.

Little Zi nudged Bai Jing for more food, but Bai Jing snorted saying, "No, the rest is mine!"

However Little Zi had figured out how to get more from Bai Jing. Slithering down the side of her face Little Zi came to a rest on Bai Jing's chest. Then with wide eyes it blinked at Bai Jing and stuck its tongue out at Bai Jing and licked her nose a few times while giving its body a little shake.

"Awwww, that's my little Cutie!" Bai Jing exclaimed with puckered lips.

"Who's the cutest lil snake! You are, Yes you are! Mwah!"

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

Finished gushing over little Zi, Bai Jing took the last slice of fruit off the plate and bit half of it, letting Little Zi eat the other half as it fell from her lips.

After Little Zi swallowed the fruit Bai Jing could no longer resist her urges and squeezed Little Zi against her chest in a hug with extreme force. Squiggling around on the couch Bai Jing saw Little Zi's miserable expression but that just fueled her urge to squeeze him tighter.

"Why are you so cute!" Bai Jing murmured in a cute voice, as her hold grew tighter.

"..Keeh..Kess"

Little Zi started making strange noises under the increased pressure.

Thankfully he was soon saved by Ying Ying as she came into the room, announcing the bath was ready.

Loosening her grip on Little Zi, he lay listlessly on Bai Jing's chest, tongue sticking out.

Getting up Bai Jing picked up Little Zi, placing him between her lips, dangling as she started undressing on her way to the bath.

Arriving at the bath Bai Jing grabbed Little Zi and threw him into the bath but before she herself entered she struck a pose toward Ying Ying, covering her privates bashfully. Bai Jing stared at Ying Ying like this, a blue glow appearing in her eyes.

Ying Ying just stared blankly at her with raised brows, not saying anything but Bai Jing seemed to have seen something as her eyes flickered.

Bai Jing eyes then squinted and her fists clenched in dissatisfaction, giving of vibes of malice.

Feeling danger, Ying Ying was startled and started to fawn over Bai Jing and urging her to enter the bath.

Bai Jing just continued to stare at Ying Ying with squinted eyes, glowing blue. Eventually she entered the bath where Little Zi floated listlessly, but not before savagely giving Ying Ying's cheek a harsh squeeze and pull.

Rubbing her cheek Ying Ying felt wronged, wondering what she could of possibly done and if it had something to do with the technique that caused the blue glow in Bai Jing's eyes.

....

The next day arrived and Bai Jing stood in front of her full body mirror trying to decide which modified uniform to wear.

"Young Miss! Hurry up the new disciple ceremony has already started, I thought you wanted to attend!?" Ying Ying's voice entered from outside.

"Yah Yah, just chill." Bai Jing responded nonchalantly, multiple uniforms floating in front of her.

A few days ago Sister Fei contacted Bai Jing, informing her that she was done modifying the uniforms. Not wanting to stop her training she sent Ying Ying to pick them up.

After going back and forth between uniforms a couple times Bai Jing finally decided on which to wear. After dawning her new uniform Bai Jing walked out of her room to find Ying Ying waiting in the main area for her.

Upon seeing Bai Jing, Ying Ying's eyes twitched and her mouth opened, wanting to say something but no words came out.

"What do you think? Do I look good?" Bai Jing asked with a twirl and pose.

Bai Jing's new sect uniform was much different from the original. Her skirt was now much shorter than she ever wore, only reaching her mid thigh. Her top was now less bulky and more form fitting around the waist, showing off her hourglass figure. The rest of the upper robe was more similar to the original uniform except now there were slits around each shoulder that showed some skin and a deeper v that showed off more of her chest and some cleavage. A silver necklace could now be seen laying on her chest and helped draw even more attention to the area as it disappeared between her mounds.

Ying Ying stayed speechless for a few moments before she walked up to Bai Jing and tried to adjust her top to cover up her breasts more but Bai Jing just slapped her hands away.

"Is that a yes?"

Bai Jing said walking past Ying Ying towards the front of the house, ready to leave.

"Wait, Young Miss! Please change your top or at least wear a coat!" Ying Ying rushed behind Bai Jing, exclaiming.

"Nope!"

Bai Jing paid Ying Ying no heed and continued to walk outside.

"I-I'll tell your parents what your wearing!" Ying Ying said with a fluster.

Bai Jing turned around, looking at Ying Ying in disdain.

"Go ahead and do it, see what happens! This is the least revealing uniform I have plus I already sent my mother an image and she thought it was cute!"

Bai Jing crossed her arms in contempt.

"Ahh... you, you're lying!" Ying Ying spoke in defiance.

"Are you sure? Well I guess if you really want me to change I can wear this."

As Bai Jing finished speaking, another uniform appeared in her hands. This uniform was nothing like the original, it was more like a strapless one-piece with some frills along the hips and butt was all that remained of the skirt.

"You had something like that made?! How could you wear such a thing?! It would be better if you just wore underwear!" Ying Ying was floored.

"Listen Ying Ying there's no need to be jealous~"

"If you wanted a modified uniform all you need to do is tell me. I'll buy one for you, don't worry I wont make it too revealing."

Bai Jing now had a teasing expression on her face.

"No! Stop joking ar-" Ying Ying started but was interrupted by Bai Jing.

"Actually, now that I say it aloud I decided to just do it. You need to up your wardrobe if you want to seduce Uncle Fu or Brother Chen. Let's stop by Sister Fei's on the way back from the sect!" Bai Jing spoke with a slick smile.

"Humpf, I just won't wear it then! What can you do about it!?" Ying Ying looked incensed.

"Oh yeah? Then..." Bai Jing stepped closer to Ying Ying and caressed her cheek.

"Then why don't I just strip you to your undergarments and drag you to the sect like that? Huh?"

A malicious smile grew on Bai Jing's face as she spoke. Subconsciously biting her lower lip, her eyes were like that of a wolf looking at prey.

Ying Ying shivered from Bai Jing's facial expression and aura, she had seen this before and knew that this was no mere joke and she was only looking for a reason to do it.

"N-no I would l-love it if the Young Miss designed a new uniform for me!" Ying Ying put on a stiff and frightened smile as she pleaded with Bai Jing, pulling on her sleeve.

"Ah! What a pity that you're so sensible. I was getting excited thinking about the sect disciples reactions upon seeing you as I drag you around the sect in your underwear!" Bai Jing shook her head with a sigh.

Ying Ying just lowered her head nervously, showing no reaction, still griped onto Bai Jing's sleeve.

"Oh speaking of which, you never answered my question. Do I look good in this?" Bai Jing lifted Ying Ying's chin with a finger when she said this.

Coming back to her senses, Ying Ying spoke with a forced smile.

"You look gorgeous Young Miss, even more so than usual!"

An arrogant smile gradually appeared on Bai Jing's face.

"That's what I thought! I'm in a good mood, I suppose I'll draw a few designs and let you pick the one you want" Bai Jing spoke satisfied, giving Ying Ying a light pinch on her cheek.

"Thank you Young Miss!" Ying Ying exclaimed and got the chance to wipe off the cold sweat that had appeared on her forehead.

'How could I have forgotten to compliment the young Miss on her beauty when she first asked! If I had just said something then, probably none of this would have happened.' Ying Ying thought regretfully.

'What a blunder!'

While Ying Ying was in her own thoughts Bai Jing took one last glance at the residence and was about to take off when she noticed a blank plaque hanging above the door.

With a thought the plaque flew into Bai Jing's hands.

"What should I name you?" Bai Jing murmured to herself, think up a name for the residence.

After a few moments Bai Jing let out a chuckle.

"Hehehe, I know."

Saying so, Bai Jing covered her index finger in Qi and started to carve into the plaque.

Finished Bai Jing willed the plaque and if flew back to it's original placement.

Noticing Bai Jing's actions Ying Ying turned to look at the plaque.

"Yuri Palace? As in Lily Palace? I didn't know you liked lilies Young Miss, shall I buy some to plant around the residence?" Ying Ying asked with a smile, trying to please Bai Jing and make her forget the earlier conversation.

"Ah.... sure, you do that. I am quite the fan of lilies. I thought you would of been as well but it turned out I was wrong." Bai Jing said shaking her head in shame, then took off into the sky.

Ying Ying looked confused by Bai Jing's words.

"I don't like lilies? They're not my favorite flower but I like them. Why would the Young Miss think I don't?" Ying Ying murmured to herself then followed Bai Jing off to the sect.
