I Just Want To Slack off In Cultivation

Pei Ling was only slightly distracted when he felt his clothes pulled as if he got tugged by an invisible child.

He slashed at it with his backhand, but he did not hear any screams. Instead, the pain came from his thigh. The ghost went to bite him even if it was evaporating!

After that incident, the sounds of footsteps became more and more concentrated. It was as if they had a deep grudge with Pei Ling as they rushed up hysterically, disregarding everything, resorting to any means… Pei Ling was increasingly worried as he fought. The blood and Qi in his body churned, and the blood mist on the Life-Extinguishing Blade became more lustful. Every time he slashed out, there were continuous screams as well as the disappearance of at least a dozen ghosts.

Although they could not withstand a single blow, ants could bite an elephant to death. As he swung his saber, again and again, Pei Ling could not help but sweat. His physical strength was beginning to fail, but the number of enemies seemed endless!

After a while, wounds began to appear on Pei Ling’s body.

He gasped for breath and attempted to retreat out of the courtyard. He fought and kicked the courtyard gate with all his might… However, he realized that after the courtyard door shattered, it was not the stone path from before but seemingly endless darkness.

The darkness was eerie and ominous.

Pei Ling planned to grit his teeth and enter to see if it was a smokescreen. However, as he approached the darkness, he felt his heart skip a beat. It was as if his entire body was filled with an instinctual resistance to entering the darkness.

“Huh…?” Pei Ling wiped away his cold sweat. In only a moment, he felt another bite mark on the back of his hand. However, at this moment, he suddenly had a stroke of fortune and shouted, “I have already mastered the Blood Malevolence Saber Art. Aren’t you going to show yourself, Miss Wuliu?”

The fine he had for these few days hung high above his head, and he almost forgot the ten-day limit from Fairy Li!

Indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, a light groan sounded in the darkness outside the yard.

The densely packed footprints in the surroundings seemed to have received a shock as they let out a shrill cry as if they were about to disperse. A black-colored light suddenly flew out of the darkness and transformed into countless tiny fishes chasing in all directions.

For a while, only the sounds of rustling could be heard in the courtyard. It was as if spring silkworms were constantly eating leaves, causing Pei Ling’s expression to change slightly.

At the same time, Pei Ling felt the temperature around him plummet. He felt a bone-piercing cold on his back as a soft and cold body pressed against it. Two pale arms went past his shoulders and slowly circled his neck. Her lips were almost glued to his earlobe as she murmured like a lover, “Young Master Pei Ling… Since you have mastered the Blood Malevolence Saber Art, why are you still escaping?”

“Did you know how tough it was to find you at the Shady Sophora Peak…”

“It’s tough chasing all the way out here too…”

As she spoke, she caressed Pei Ling’s throat.

Pei Ling did not dare to move at all. He only held the hilt of the Life-Extinguishing Blade tightly. After circulating his Qi and blood for a moment, he said with difficulty, “Miss Wuliu… Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not running away. I’m only leaving the sect to complete a mission because I’m in dire need of spirit stones.”

“Oh?” Wu Liu appeared abruptly in front of him. Her pale face was less than an inch away from the tip of his nose, making her look even creepier. Her blood-stained lips curved up slightly as she revealed a faint smile. “You have only just entered the sect. How can you be so short of spirit stones?”

Pei Ling said truthfully, “I killed Li Siguang, Zhou Yi, and Miao Cheng’an. According to the sect rules, I have to pay a huge fine.”

“…” Wu Liu’s fingertip tapped his throat. She paused for a moment before she smiled happily. “You used them to train your Outer Malevolence? No wonder you mastered the Blood Malevolence Saber Art so quickly.”

“Outer Malevolence?” Pei Ling’s mastery of the Blood Malevolence Saber Art was purely dependent on the system. As for himself, because he knew too few cloud seal characters, he did not understand what was written in the saber art at all…

He could not help but be startled at this moment.

Wu Liu withdrew the finger that was on his throat and raised her sleeve to cover her mouth. She chuckled and said, “The Blood Malevolence Saber Art divides into Inner and Outer Malevolence. The Inner Malevolence does not just strengthen your body, and it can also suppress the Outer Malevolence to avoid backlash. You have killed three people right from the start, so you can still control them now. However, if you kill more in the future, you will agglomerate more Outer Malevolence. If you can’t suppress it with Inner Malevolence by then, you might go berserk and become a madman who only knows how to kill!”

“But…”

Wu Liu suddenly grabbed Pei Ling’s throat and shouted coldly, “Even if you kill someone to cultivate, the Blood Malevolence Saber Art is definitely not something that you can master in a mere ten days!”

Pei Ling felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse. Even his eyes got frozen by the bone-piercing cold, and he could not move. He could only watch as her black nails flicked out and pierced through his glabella while she seemed to talk to herself, “Young Master Pei Ling, what secrets do you have… Let me cut you open and take a look… Just a look… alright?”

As she spoke, her nails slowly came down. Pei Ling felt a stabbing pain in his glabella as a warm liquid flowed down. He was horrified.

This female ghost wanted to skin him alive!?

“No… no… Master…” Just as Pei Ling was at a loss for what to do, Wu Liu suddenly stopped. Her sweet and pretty face twisted as she exclaimed incoherently,” No… Master… No… Master… Master didn’t say that I could touch him… I… Uh…”

After struggling for a moment, Wu Liu revealed an enraged expression. She abruptly pushed Pei Ling away and screamed, “You’d better start doing something to anger Master right now! So that Master can hand you to me when she’s angry!”

Pei Ling staggered back a few steps, but he let out a long breath in his heart. He laughed dryly and did not dare to speak.

“…” Intimidated by Fairy Li, Wu Liu did not dare to do anything to Pei Ling. She was filled with anger as she rushed towards the invisible children that had attacked Pei Ling a moment ago. She beckoned for the black-colored flash to enter her hand, which turned out to be a small lampstand. Wu Liu’s pale hand brushed past the lampstand, and a small flame lit up.

The flame was the opposite of the dark lampstand, and it was extremely bright.

It even made the ruined courtyard seem a little more lively after it appeared.

However, the face of a child could be vaguely seen within the flames. Shrill cries sounded as if it was undergoing unimaginable torture!

Upon hearing this, Wu Liu revealed a delighted and reveled expression. In the end, she glanced at Pei Ling and switched to a neutral tone as she said softly, “Young Master Pei Ling, do you know? As long as you begin killing and practicing the Blood Malevolence Saber Art, you can only continue killing in the future! Even if there comes a day when the Inner Malevolence can’t suppress the Outer Malevolence, you can’t stop…”

She deliberately said half of what she wanted to say and looked at Pei Ling with a faint smile. After seeing that his face was pale and his eyebrows became tightly knitted, seeming to be worried. She then covered her sleeves with satisfaction and chuckled.. “Young Master Pei Ling, you seem like you want to ask me something?”
