Chapter 189: Chapter 187: Sect Leader of the Red Beauty Sect

Jiang Jichen wasn’t quite the perfect man Tang Ni imagined!

He was just taking on these responsibilities out of convenience.

It was like the old saying: when you have too many lice, you stop feeling the itch. Jiang Jichen had already made too many enemies. Besides, he was carrying the Yin Soul Flower, Spiritual Snake Fruit, Dao Spirit Flower, and other Ancient Supreme Treasure Medicines. If word of these got out, it would naturally attract countless powerful foes.

Besides, he had already killed so many members of the Five Poison Sect and forged a feud to the death. Why would he care about attracting a little more hatred?

Of course, Tang Ni and the others had no idea what was going through Jiang Jichen’s mind. They simply saw him as a great and peerless man!

"In that case, I’ll accept it on everyone’s behalf. This Ancient Sect’s inheritance is truly important to us. However, I plan to use this Inheritance Spirit Bag to establish a new Sect once we leave, and I want you to be the Sect Leader!"

Tang Ni didn’t refuse. She gracefully accepted the Inheritance Spirit Bag, because they desperately needed a powerful inheritance. With it, their path of cultivation could extend much further, allowing them to grow stronger and gain the ability to protect themselves in the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

"There’s no need for that... You’re all women. It wouldn’t be appropriate for a man like me to be your Sect Leader!"

Jiang Jichen said, his expression one of perfect righteousness.

’Inwardly, however, Jiang Jichen was overjoyed. ’The Sect Leader of a Women’s Sect? Wouldn’t that mean I could do whatever I want? Hehe... Come on, Sister Tang Ni, keep trying to convince me!’’

Tang Ni didn’t disappoint him. She continued, "If we say it’s appropriate, then it is. You don’t have the right to refuse. I’ve decided. The Sect’s name will be Red Beauty!"

"The Red Beauty Sect? Not bad. But I really don’t have time to be a Sect Leader. I’m very busy, and with enemies all over the place, it’s not a good idea for me to be associated with a new Sect."

Jiang Jichen was telling the truth. He really didn’t have time to be a Sect Leader. Moreover, his enemies were now spread across the entire Southern Continent—all of them powerful figures and forces you didn’t want to cross. If they found out he was the Sect Leader of the Red Beauty Sect, the Sect would likely be annihilated before it was even officially founded, leaving not even dust behind.

Tang Ni smiled confidently. "You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll manage the Red Beauty Sect myself, so you won’t be needed for the day-to-day. However, if the Sect runs into trouble and faces an expert we can’t handle, we’ll need you, our hidden Sect Leader, to step in from the shadows!"

Jiang Jichen found that the confident Tang Ni radiated an astonishing charm. Her aura was incredibly powerful, and she carried herself with the true bearing of a leader.

At a moment like this, it was impossible for anyone to even think of refusing her.

But Jiang Jichen remained calm. He thought for a moment, his expression still hesitant.

But before he could speak, the mature and alluring Tang Ni spoke again. "There’s really no need to refuse. Your position as Sect Leader will be a secret identity; no one else will know. Besides, if you don’t accept the role, we won’t use anything from this Ancient Sect’s inheritance, no matter how much we need it!"

Tang Ni’s final words were spoken with absolute resolve.

With things having come to this, Jiang Jichen knew he could no longer refuse. He could only nod helplessly. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Of course, while he looked helpless on the surface, he was actually quite delighted on the inside.

’I’m... finally the Sect Leader of a Women’s Sect! My dream has come true!’

’If only Little Skeleton were here, I could really brag about this. But... I wonder if Little Gray is doing okay in the Undead Realm?’

’And what about my unreliable Aunt Ling’Er? I hope she hasn’t gotten lost in the Dragon Realm.’

’Or it’d be great if Yee Youmeng were here. We could drink from big bowls, eat hearty chunks of meat, and talk about whatever we want while she listened quietly by my side!’

After a moment of quiet reflection, Jiang Jichen asked, "Where do you plan to establish the Red Beauty Sect?"

Tang Ni smiled. "Founding a Sect isn’t a simple matter, especially since we’re still small and weak. For now, we’ll have to convert the peak where our Red Beauty Adventurer Squad is based in the Yunshui City Suburbs into the Red Beauty Sect’s headquarters and develop slowly from there. The only problem is... Cultivation Resources and funding..."

Hearing this, Jiang Jichen waved his hand, and a pile of Storage Bags tumbled onto the ground. "Cultivation Resources and funds aren’t a problem," he said. "I’ll take care of earning them from now on. Sister Tang Ni, you just need to focus on your cultivation and on developing the Sect."

Seeing the hundreds of Storage Bags piled on the ground, Tang Ni, Xia Qing, and the other women—who had just finished collecting other bags and cleaning up the battlefield—were left completely dumbfounded.

This was... an outrageous display of wealth!

"Little Brother Jichen, these Storage Bags..."

Tang Ni asked, still in shock. At the same time, a thought seemed to dawn on all the women.

’One Storage Bag per person... so several hundred bags means...’

Moreover, these Storage Bags bore markings they recognized all too well, such as those of the Guo Family, the Song Family, and the Wei Family...

Jiang Jichen said nonchalantly, "That’s right. These all belonged to people who came to kill me. I killed them instead, and of course, I couldn’t let their Storage Bags go to waste, so I collected them. I didn’t realize I’d gathered so many. As for what’s inside, I haven’t even looked myself. You can take them back and sort through them later."

At that moment, the way the women looked at Jiang Jichen could only be described as pure adoration. This couldn’t help but make him feel smug and quite accomplished.

’Being admired by a group of women feels amazing!’

Tang Ni was the first to compose herself. With a wave of her hand, she showed her decisive and commanding side. "Collect them. In any case, all of this belongs to our Sect Leader Little Brother. We’re just helping him manage it. But once the Sect is established, our Sect Leader Little Brother will need to keep working hard to earn money. You’ll have a big group of women to support, you know. And that group is only going to get bigger!"

’Sect Leader Little Brother!’

’What an affectionate title. I like it!’

’But what does she mean, a big group of women to support?’

Jiang Jichen was a bit speechless, but he didn’t really mind. As his cultivation advanced, earning resources would become incredibly easy for him.

Of course, the simplest method was just to plunder, which required immense strength as a foundation. Jiang Jichen was confident he had no problem on that front.

Besides, with so many enemies, there would always be people delivering themselves right to his doorstep.

So, the arrangement was settled: Tang Ni and her group would be responsible for establishing and developing the Sect, while Jiang Jichen would be responsible for providing the Cultivation Resources and funds.

Tang Ni then handed a jade slip to Jiang Jichen. "A map to Red Beauty Peak is carved on this. When you return in the future, you can find us by following it. Little Brother Jichen, remember this: from now on, the Red Beauty Sect is your other home."

Jiang Jichen accepted the jade slip. "Don’t worry. When I become strong enough, the Red Beauty Sect will surely become renowned throughout the world. There will come a day when everyone looks upon it with reverence."

With that said, Jiang Jichen departed, heading toward the Ancient Ruined City under the reluctant gazes of the women.

After all, as the one who had slaughtered the disciples of the Five Poison Sect and taken the Inheritance Spirit Bag, he couldn’t travel together with the women.

Xia Qing stood beside Tang Ni, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions as she watched Jiang Jichen’s figure disappear into the distance. "Will he really come back?" she whispered.

Tang Ni turned and gently pinched Xia Qing’s soft cheek. "My dear girl, don’t tell me you’re already missing our Little Brother Jichen the moment he’s gone?"

Only when she was surrounded by women did Tang Ni reveal her wilder side, teasing Xia Qing so directly that she couldn’t take it. "Sister Tang Ni, what nonsense are you spouting?"

...

As it turned out, Jiang Jichen hadn’t left immediately. Instead, he had turned invisible and watched everything from the side. A nosebleed started gushing uncontrollably from his nostrils. When he finally departed, he was a miserable sight, flinging two streams of blood behind him as he walked.
