Bai Jing stood in front of the mirror, completely nude, except for her earrings. She elegantly flipped her hair behind her back, gaze transfixed on her reflection.
'God I'm so fucking hot!'
Bai Jing subconsciously bit her lower lip and brought her hands towards her face to feel her smooth, flawless skin and plump lips.
Her hands gently began to descend her body, slowly gliding down her neck towards her bulging chest.
Her slim, jade like, fingers slowed as they roamed over two, incredibly soft mounds of flesh.
Gently exuding some pressure from her fingers, Bai Jing could feel the softness and elasticity they contained. Her two thumbs lightly glossed over a pinkish protrusion as her hands descended underneath the two mounds, cupping them in each hand.
Bai Jing shivered a little as this happened.
Each mound perfectly filled her hands to the brim as she gave a light squeeze and gently lifted them.
Bai Jing's heartbeat increased and she gulped down some saliva.
Her hands paused for a moment before continuing down, feeling her slim stomach with a hint of pudginess, that only added to her beauty.
As the mischievous hands passed bellow her small belly button, her stomach began to tremble, heartbeat accelerating even more.
Bai Jing's gaze was locked below an area of hairless skin, in the middle of her well-rounded hips.
Her hands centimeters from reaching it.
The hands slowed as they encroached on their goal. However, before the pesky hands could reach their prize, a light cough was sounded.
"Ahem!"
Bai Jing's hands stopped.
"Princess if you continue I'm afraid I will have to inform your mother of your actions!" Ying Ying interrupted with exasperation evident on her face.
"..."
Bai Jing paused for a moment before turning around to face Ying Ying. Her hands covering her upper and lower region, a shy expression on her face.
"Could it be that my little Ying Ying wants to have a feel for herself? I-If it's you I don't mind." Bai Jing's eyes avoided hers and her lips were puckered out.
*Sigh*
After letting out a sigh Ying Ying just stared at Bai Jing expressionlessly with raised eyebrows.
"Tsk, you're no fun!" Bai Jing dropped her hands, placing a hand on her hip, looking at Ying Ying in disdain before making her way to the bath, plopping into the warm water with a splash.
"Are you sure you don't want to come in and take a bath with me? This is the last chance you'll ever get!" Bai Jing spoke nonchalantly with her lips raised, getting comfortable in the bath.
"But, I still can't believe you went and told on me to my mother last time. She sat me down and gave me a talking to, then she even tried to set me up with a couple guys! Now all you do is threaten me with it you bully!" Bai Jing blurted out with aggravation on her face.
"You deserved it, and NO! Who knows what weird things you'll try on me this time." Ying Ying immediately refused.
"Humph! Now now, haven't you learned to take a joke yet. Even if you wanted to bathe with me now I wouldn't let you!" Bai Jing retorted with a harrumph.
"Sure~" Ying Ying responded with an unbelieving expression on her face.
"..."
Bai Jing let out a sigh and just closed her eyes to rest and think to herself.
'I wasn't joking, I've already given up on this ignorant woman. Get officially friend zoned!'
'You've been delegated to my best friend now, no more future lover for you!'
'Sadly it seems my charm isn't enough to make any woman fall for me. Hmmmm...'
'Or maybe it's my personality that's bad.... Nah how can that be, I was so nice to her. I only bullied her occasionally!'
Ying Ying made her way behind Bai Jing and began to wash her hair as usual. After that she would give Bai Jing a shoulder and scalp massage.
After a certain level cultivators don't quite have a need to take baths as they can typically maintain a state of cleanliness by cultivating, there are many techniques to clean oneself quickly. That statement is even more so for Bai Jing, thanks to her physique.
Bai Jing's original intention of taking baths was to show off and tempt Ying Ying once her body had matured.
However, Bai Jing fell in love with taking baths in this world. The warm medicinal water made her felt wonderful and relaxing as Ying Ying massaged her.
It became a place of joy for Bai Jing, as well as a place to satisfy her recently developed narcissistic tendencies, showing off her body. She would typically bathe every other day for around one-two hours, or until dinner was ready.
After massaging Bai Jing for a while, Ying Ying noticed that she had fallen into a light sleep. Ying Ying stopped the massage and sat down nearby to cultivate.
She did not, however, absorb spirit energy from the surroundings. She focused on a strand of extremely pure spirit energy that had entered herself when Bai Jing had pinched her cheek.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
This was a little experiment of Bai Jing's.
When Bai Jing broke through to Core Formation she noticed the effects of her physique had begun to greatly increase. Her Qi and Blood Qi was purified and refined at a quicker speeds.
According to Bai Kong, her physique also started to affect her soul and Divine Sense, albeit slightly.
After seeing her greatly enhanced physique she wanted to see if she could control it to some degree, or develop anything with it.
While practicing with her physique she had a thought, what would happen if she absorbed the surrounding spirit energy and didn't refine it into her Qi?
The results were worthless at first, as she couldn't cultivate while waiting and after a week, although the spirit energy did become purer and easier to refine it was useless for herself. That's when she had the idea of gifting the purified spirit energy to others.
While there are techniques that allow one to absorb another's Qi or give your own Qi to others. They all have detrimental effects to one or both of the individuals involved typically, or can only be used upon one's death.
A cultivator's Qi has its own attribute and will, making it insanity for one to try and absorb another's Qi unless there are very specific circumstances.
With a new idea, Bai Jing absorbed spirit energy, not refining it into her Qi, as before, but this time she absorbed much less and stored it in one of her meridians that were not used while circulating her cultivation technique. Allowing her to cultivate as usual while her physique passively purified the spirit energy.
After a few weeks, Bai Jing decided to test the spirit energy so she called her lab rat, Ying Ying, over to test the purified spirit energy.
Bai Jing transferred a small part of the spirit energy to Ying Ying for her to refine into her own Qi.
The purified spirit energy was easier and quicker to absorb, as it should be, and once it was refined into Qi that was purer than the rest of her Qi it gave Ying Ying a slightly easier time when trying to increase the purity of the rest of the Qi in her dantian, though it didn't last long.
Seeing the success Bai Jing was happy and found a few more meridians that weren't used with any of her techniques to store some more spirit energy and see how pure she could get it. As the energy was purified it also became smaller, allowing her to fit more spirit energy after a while.
Bai Jing would also occasionally give out the purified spirit energy to Ying Ying as a reward.
......
While Bai Jing and Ying Ying were enjoying themselves in the bathroom, in another part of the villa Bai Kong met with a familiar and frequent guest, Jiang Fu.
"You have been getting more annoying and persistent lately." Bai Kong spoke disgruntledly.
"How can you say that Brother! Little Jing is already 15, it is a perfect time for her to join the sect. Hasn't she also been telling you she wants to join as well? How can you deny her future happiness! If you wait too long it will be hard for me to convince others to let her join." Jiang Fu exclaimed while making various gestures.
Typically sects, especially strong ones, don't accept disciples above a certain age, around 20 on average. As they want to nurture a sense of belonging to the sect while they are young. The younger the better.
Some clans don't even allow clan members of a certain status to join sects, or they wait until they are older to join and not forget their identity. They will however, typically send slightly less talented clan members to join sects when they are young, as it saves resources for the clans or when lacking suitable cultivation manuals.
"Alright she can join." Bai Kong simply said.
"Come on Brother Kong, don't be like that. Think about...." Jiang Fu paused in confusion.
"WHAT! Say that again!" Jiang Fu jumped up in excitement and stepped closer to Bai Kong attempting to grab his shoulders.
Bai Kong slapped Jiang Fu's hands away then unleashed part of his cultivation base. Causing Jiang Fu to step back.
Jiang Fu murmured lightly looking astonished, "Your cultivation..."
"You heard what I said." Bai Kong spoke, annoyed.
"Good, good, that's my Brother. I knew you would come to you senses!"
"HAHAHAHAHA"
Jiang Fu was ecstatic.
"Don't be too happy. I have a few conditions first!" Bai Kong interrupted Jiang Fu's laughing.
"Just tell me, I will be sure to do my best in fulfilling them." Jiang Fu replied magnanimously, with zero hesitation.
"First of all I will be bringing Jing out for training, for around a year. In the meantime there is no reason for you to be dropping by anymore. Nor is there a reason for you to give her whatever technique you brought this time. She won't have time to learn it anyways."
"I will contact you when she's ready to join. Do you understand?"
Bai Kong glared at Jiang Fu waiting for his response.
"Don't worry, I understand Brother! It's no problem, in fact that just gives me more time to search for other geniuses." Jing Fu replied nonchalantly waving his hand in dismissal.
"Next and most importantly... I need you to make Jing's life harder in the sect."
Bai Kong let out a sigh once he said this.
"Eh! What do you mean?" Jiang Fu asked, confused.
"Maybe it's my fault. When she was little she was so excited about cultivation. Maybe I made her training too hard. Shortly after she started cultivating her mood changed and she did not cultivate much, but she was still young and ahead of everyone else so I didn't trouble her."
"Later on she got obsessed with various techniques and cultivated much more, to the point I had to ban her from the library. But I was also proud my daughter was so dedicated to cultivation like me."
Bai Kong looked reminiscent as he spoke.
"But now, after she broke through to Core Formation, she has been cultivating and practicing her techniques much less. She's become too carefree lately and dresses so immodestly. Going to the city often to buy junk, listening to stories, and indulging herself. Right now she's probably taking her regular bath."
"I tried to bring her to her senses but she doesn't seem to listen to me anymore and somehow even manages to get her mother on her side."
"Sigh... I didn't know it would be this hard raising children. I must do better with little Chao."
Bai Kong finished venting his grievances to his old friend. His gaze turned up looking at the sky, thoughts unknown.
Jiang Fu was silent for a few moments before he began to speak.
"Don't worry I have an idea about little Jing's personality. I guarantee you that I will get her to work hard on her cultivation again. I already have a few ideas in mind!"
Bai Kong turned to look at Jiang Fu.
"Good!" Bai Kong nodded in reassurance seeing the serious look on his face.
"Lastly, as you may have realized I'm close to breaking through. I'm going into seclusion once Jing'er leaves and I have some things I need you to do..."
Bai Kong and Jiang Fu's talk continued, but this time a barrier appeared around them as they spoke.
....
Back in he bathroom Ying Ying had finished her short cultivation session and opened her eyes. She sensed her surroundings.
"Princess it appears that food will be served soon." Ying Ying gently spoke, then got up, walking towards Bai Jing.
Bai Jing's eyes slowly opened from within the bath. Feeling refreshed and comfortable she slowly stood up as water fell from her body, leaving it glistening.
Stepping out of the bath Bai Jing stretched out her arms and Ying Ying helped Bai Jing to put on a big white, comfortable, and loose fitting robe.
"Thank you."
After dawning her robe Bai Jing sauntered towards the mirror again checking herself out.
While doing so she engaged in small talk with Ying Ying.
"Little Ying how's your cultivation going recently? Have you learned any new dishes from Uncle Fang?"
Ying Ying told Bai Jing about her recent progress in cultivation and culinary arts.
After the short conversation Bai Jing was done with the mirror and headed towards the dining area with Ying Ying in tow.
...
Bai Jing and Ying Ying arrived at the dining area just as Uncle Fang was serving the dishes and everyone in the villa was already sitting down, no one was missing.
"Sister! Sit next to me!" Bai Chao called out and patted the seat next to him with a smile.
Bai Jiang smirked and walked over to take a seat. While taking a seat she noticed her Father seemed a little different than usual.
'Did Uncle Fu come by and piss off Father? I guess I still won't be able to join the sect anytime soon. That sucks!' Bai Jing guessed in her heart.
Once everyone was seated and Uncle Fu had served the dishes Bai Kong let some of his aura leak out causing everyone to stay their hands and look towards him.
"Everyone I have an announcement to make!" Bai Kong's voice carried authority as he spoke.
