Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 41: Jing Xiao’s Treatment

Jing Xiao, Lan Ming, and neither Li Mei expected Ye Chen to say this.

For a moment, they were all shocked and wondered if they heard it wrong.

Jing Xiao was the most doubtful, and she was even thinking if this was some kind of bad dream.

After all, a Qi-gathering cultivator asked her to be his maid, who was at the ninth stage of core formation.

If word got out, everyone would think Ye Chen had a few screws loose.

Jing Xiao also thought the same and looked at him with a frown.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" she asked with an unhappy look, thinking he was just teasing her.

However, Ye Chen was serious about this, so he nodded in response.

"I asked you to be my maid. If you agree, then I will treat you for free and even take care of the expertise," he repeated the words without any fear.

Hearing this, Jing Xiao’s face twisted with anger, as she never thought he would really say it again.

If it was anyone else saying this, his head already would’ve been blown off, but she didn’t do anything to him and calmed herself down first.

Zhen Yunqi was living in the same suite as him; if she revealed a trace of her aura, she would be found out.

Moreover, it’s not like he was forcing her; as long as she can pay him, he will treat her.

"What do you want?" She inquired without beating around the bush.

It was all her fault for trying to get free treatment; if she had asked him what he needed first, maybe he wouldn’t have brought this.

Ye Chen knew that she would not accept being his maid, but he was still disappointed. Nevertheless, he didn’t show it on his face and replied.

"I want each special tier 4 and tier 5 herb, three slots to enter your mystic pagoda, 1 million high-grade spirit stones, and a favor from you," he demanded without feeling embarrassed.

Under the bed, Li Mei and Lan Ming were both dumbfounded. They didn’t expect him to ask this much.

’Brother Chen, the whole Jade Mountain Sect might have only a few hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. How could they give you a million? Moreover, you are also asking for high-tier herbs, three slots of the mystic pagoda, and a favor at that!’ Lan Ming muttered in her heart with a speechless look.

The amount of total high-tier herbs in the Jade Mountain sects probably didn’t even exceed thirty, yet he wanted each one of them.

Moreover, the mystic pagodas only allow five people to enter every month. Giving him three quotas means causing dissatisfaction among the disciples after all they fought for these places for a whole month.

As for a favor, who would want to owe one?

Everything he demanded was unreasonable, and there was no way Jing Xiao was going to accept it.

"Ye Chen, are you deliberately messing with me?!" Jing Xiao snapped in a chilling tone.

These demands were too much for even a first-grade sect, not to mention her.

There was no way she would agree to this if her cultivation was gone.

Ye Chen seemed to have expected her answer, so he wasn’t surprised.

"I am not messing with you. I want to treat you, but it’s not easy. Moreover, you are at the bottleneck, right? Let me tell you, once the treatment is finished, you are going to have a breakthrough," he replied with a shrug.

Hearing him Jing Xiao’s eyes narrowed. She had been stuck at the bottleneck for a long time; if not, she wouldn’t have eaten that yin fruit in a hurry, which made her condition like this.

However, it doesn’t mean she will agree to his unreasonable demands.

"I can only promise you 10,000 high-grade spirit stones and one quota to the mystic pagoda," she said after a moment of silence.

No matter how angry and unwilling she was, if he can help her break through to the Nascent Soul, then she can give him some benefits.

The breakthrough was more important to her as it could raise her strength; moreover, she hadn’t heard of Zhen Yunqi’s breaking through the next realm, so she can suppress her.

Thinking of this, she decided to give me more spirit stones if he wasn’t satisfied with this.

But she didn’t know that Ye Chen never cared about spirit stones.

"Xiao Xiao, do you think I am some kind of kid?" He said with dissatisfaction and continued.

"I know it is hard for you to fulfill all of my demands, so I won’t make things difficult for you. Just give me each high-tier herb and three spots of the mystic pagoda; if not, then I am sorry," he declared, without any intentions of backing down.

For spirit stones, he didn’t care too much because he could make them himself; as for favor, he only wanted to make things difficult for her.

But by no means will he let go of special high-tier herbs and the slots of the mystic pagoda.

He won’t compromise on that. If she still refuses, then he won’t treat her.

Anyway, she will recover after a year or two; it’s just that she will have a lot of problems when breaking through the Nascent Soul realm.

He had already given her a chance. If she doesn’t appreciate this, then he can’t do anything.

Seeing that he had no intention to back out, Jing Xiao fell silent.

The special tier 4 and tier 5 herbs were something her sect relied on for profits. Although the time it took for them to grow and mature was relatively less, it still takes about fifty years just to grow thirty of these herbs.

If she wanted to give each one to him, then it would be a total of fifteen, which was half the amount of these herbs.

As for the three quotas of the mystic pagoda, it was not hard, but still, it would cause a lot of dissatisfaction among elders and disciples.

She was now in a hard position. If she didn’t agree, then her cultivation would go to waste, but if she agreed, her cultivation would increase.

At this moment the whole room fell silent, and everyone waited for her decision.

It didn’t take too long, and Jing Xiao gritted her teeth.

"Okay, I will agree to give you tier 4 and tier 5 herbs as well as three quotas for the mystic pagoda," she said with a difficult look.

Hearing her, Ye Chen nodded and took out an IOU agreement.

"Here, please sign this," he said, clearly not believing in her words.

Jing Xiao couldn’t help but feel angry at his distrust; nevertheless, she signed the IOU without saying anything.

She felt arguing with him was useless since she wasn’t going to default on the debt.

After the IOU was signed, Ye Chen grabbed her delicate hand to take her pulse.

"Go and lie down on the bed; by the way, remove all of your upper clothes," he instructed as he took out the wooden box containing the ’Divine Rebirth Needle Set.’

While hearing him, Jing Xiao was dumbfounded, and her face was filled with shame and hesitation.

"Do I really have to take off the clothes?" she asked with an unwilling expression.

As a medicine master, she knew what needed to be done, but she still couldn’t help but ask. After all, it was her first time having a man see her body like this.

Hearing her, Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

"As long as you don’t mind getting the injections in the wrong place, then sure, you can keep on your clothes," he stated and turned his head away, not paying any attention to her.

Watching his back, Jing Xiao gritted her teeth, and with shame, she removed her upper clothes and lay down on the bed.

When Ye Chen turned, he saw her milky white, soft skin, the deep cleavage between mountains, a beautiful navel with a pink belly button, an hourglass waist, long bare legs with thick thighs, and red undergarments covering her important parts.

However, his gaze didn’t linger on her body, and he walked towards the bed with a golden needle in his hand.

"You have accelerated your condition by forcefully treating yourself; if not for this, I will only need to treat your navel area, which wouldn’t need to take off all your clothes."

"So, it’s you who dug a grave for yourself," he stated without any mercy.

Jing Xiao couldn’t help but regret her actions and really wanted to find a place to cry.

If she had not done that, maybe she wouldn’t need to be embarrassed like this.

Nevertheless, she didn’t feel too much, especially after seeing his calm eyes; however, there was also a slight sense of a loss.

’Am I really that unattractive?’ she thought, feeling resentful towards him.

At this moment, Ye Chen was examining the root cause with his spiritual sense.

After doing this, he didn’t delay and started to perform the ’Threads of Vitality’ technique.

He had learned this technique from myriad book, although this wasn’t the highest level of technique; it was enough to treat the impure imbalance of yin and yang Qi in her body.
