Transmigration: Children of The Plane

The Livid Li Rou

In Li Ruo's courtyard

"Dammit, Xue Feng! How dare you plan to use Bai'er as bait! Have you lost your mind!" Li Rou screamed angrily.

Her idiot of a Husband not only offered such an idiotic idea but also persuaded Xue Bai to accept it! If he hadn't gone mad, he was close to it.

To be fair, using weak assassination targets as bait was a very common tactic. But usually, the target would at least be a Realm or two Lower to ensure they would die from the shockwaves of the pursuing battle.

But Xue Bai was a mere Blood Exchange Realm Cultivator, while Wang Yin was a Peak stage Domain Lord Realm Cultivator! That was a difference of 7 Realms or more than 60 stages!

Not even just the waves, Xue Bai would die from a mere off glance from someone that powerful.

The more Li Rou thought about it, the angrier she got and the harder she did what she was doing.

Currently, Li Ruo was beating Xue Feng with as much force as she could. Besides her Domain, she had used everything, even the Laws she comprehended. But thankful for Xue Feng as he was a sword cultivator, his physical body was extremely strong, and he was able to take Li Rou's beating. And since he was the one at fault, Xue Feng could only grit his teeth through it.

"Rou'er, calm down. Brother Huo, you and I are all Peak stage Domain Lords, and with our strong foundations, how could a single Peak stage Domain Lord last under our barrage?" Xue Feng tried to explain

"Dammit, he is an assassin, not a man fighting for his life. His goal is to kill Bai'er, not to survive against us. A single glance is all he needs to kill Bai'er. Do you seriously think that Wang Yin wouldn't even look at his target?" Li Rou, however, didn't let up and continued letting out fireball after fireball.

Naturally, as an Alchemist, the Law that Li Rou comprehended was Fire.

"That Wang Yin is as much a coward as he is a good assassin. There is no way he is willing to trade his life for Bai'er. Even if Bai'er revealed his true Martial Vein rank, Wang Yin still wouldn't do it. Let alone a High Black Grade one." Xue Feng argued.

Hearing that, Li Rou stopped her barrage. Xue Feng did have a point. Even though Wang Yin had a prestigious reputation as the continent's strongest assassin, he had an even more known reputation as a massive coward.

In order to assassinate a mere Early Stage Domain Lord Realm Cultivator, Wang Yin once spent more than a month waiting until his target was in a weakened state before launching his attack. And when he attacked, he even used the Wang Clan's Space Sealing Formation.

Though Wang Yin didn't leave any traces, sometimes leaving no traces meant more than leaving a few. And smart cultivators soon linked it to Wang Yin.

But even if it were a coward going after her son Li Rou didn't feel good as it was a man who was only slightly weaker than her! Li Rou knew how strong she was right now and how easily she could kill Xue Bai at any moment. And with someone on her level of strength going after her son, Li Rou wanted to lock Xue Bai away in a safe and melt the key.

But sadly, her idiot of a Husband had already told Xue Bai that the plan was set. And if she were to cancel it suddenly, Xue Bai would definitely feel depressed from it.

"Go call my idiot of an older brother then! We are going to plan this down to the exact second! Not a single hair on the head of my Bai'er can be hurt!" Li Rou huffed before going to the Main Hall.

Finally free of the beating, Xue Fend stood back up and quickly got any dirt off of his robe so as not to ruin his majestic appearance. And after making sure his wife had calmed down, he left the Duke Estate and flew in the direction of Snowy Wind City.

Though he could've sent a message to Li Huo through a communication crystal, Xue Feng hadn't seen his brother-in-law in a few months and felt it was overdue. So taking this chance, Xue Feng decided to have a drink with his sworn brother and brother-in-law. Not only could he relax for a while, but he could also let Li Rou cool down as he did.

Away from Li Rou's courtyard, Xue Bai had finally found someone who knew where Xiao'er was.

"Young Duke Sister Xiao'er is still sleeping in her dorm right now. Would you like me to call her for you?" A maid responded.

This maid, though Xue Bai didn't know her name, he knew that she was one of the closest friends of Xiao'er. So after he spotted her, Xue Bai asked the question.

"But it's almost noon. Xiao'er has never slept this late? Do you know why she is so tired?" Xue Bai asked.

But the maid also didn't know herself and merely shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know why she is so tired, Young Duke. But she came into her dorm late into the night yesterday. She only entered at around 1 or 2 am." The maid answered before going back to her post.

Xue Bai, curious, decided to get to see Xiao'er for himself. And after some walking, he made it to the maid dormitories.

The maid dormitories were more like a large resort villa with many courtyards instead of large and cramped apartment buildings.

The core region had more space than it knew what to do with, so Li Rou, who was in charge of both construction and the maids, decided she would splurge and give the maids as comfortable a living area as possible.

And Xiao'er, Xue Bai's personal maid, was given the best courtyard possible. So not only did it have the densest Spiritual Qi, but it also had the best view.

Since the Duke Estate was built on top of a large mountain, the courtyard of Xiao'er had a view that looked down on the world from above. It could also see Snowy Wind City but barely. And currently, inside that courtyard, Xiao'er in her bedroom was asleep in a thin negligee.

But oddly, she was sweating profusely even though the temperature in her room was completely normal. It was even to the point where her white bedsheets were dyed almost entirely gray. At the same time, her negligee was stuck to her body like another layer of skin.

And Xue Bai, who had impolitely walked into her bedroom, was greeted with the blood-rushing sight. Sadly his body was too underdeveloped, and besides almost getting a small nosebleed, nothing happened to him.

Ignoring the temptation to do something immoral to the defenseless Xiao'er, Xue Bai simply wet a rag and put it on the forehead of Xiao'er before sitting beside her and starting to cultivate.

'This is too uncomfortable! It's like having a 5-star Michelin steak in front of you but being unable to eat it.' Xue Bai angrily thought.

It was only at times like this went he hated his underdeveloped body.

Xue Bai, though, was going to be focused on mainly cultivating since Xiao'er was willing to be so open with him; Xue Bai didn't plan to be polite. She's a maiden in a feudal-era China-Esque land, yet she is making the moves. If I deny her, am I even a man?

However, with his underdeveloped body, Xue Bai was forced to wait at least two more years. And since doing the deed with a 13-year-old body would be both uncomfortable for him and Xiao'er, Xue Bai agreed with her they would cook the rice when he turned 16, which was recognized as the age of adulthood for boys.

And until then, Xue Bai was stuck with the accidentally seductive Xiao'er teasing him 80% of the day.

Shaking his head to get rid of his unnecessary thoughts, Xue Bai recited some heart-calming mantras before cultivating. So swallowing the pills required for his cheat code, Xue Bai began to cultivate. Though the courtyard of Xiao'er didn't have as dense Spiritual Qi as Xue Bai's, the difference was minuscule.

As Xue Bai continued cultivating the Purification Stages, Xiao'er was currently undergoing a metamorphosis that was changing her aptitude from the inside out.
