Chereads / Cultivation: To Kill the Witch / Chapter 17 - The Ruthless Witch Xuan Xueqi

Chapter 17 - The Ruthless Witch Xuan Xueqi

Fairy Xuan Xueqi chucked softly and she was smiling, "So this tomb is your secret?"

Ye Fan had suddenly realized that he had been followed by the Witch Xuan Xueqi.

Right now, he was weaker than her and she was stronger than him. In fact, if she wanted to kill him, it was as easy as crushing an ant to death.

The disparity between the two of them was just too great!

Ye Fan tried to remain as compose as possible as he raised both of his hands to greet respectfully, "Mistress, your protégé pays my respect to you."

Not saying anything for now may prove to be better so he tried to adapt for changes by observing her reactions first.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi lifted her sword up and said to him, "Step aside. I want to see the wall that is behind your back."

Ye Fan had suddenly turned ashen; he had never thought that the intricate formula of the profound sword art that he had just found would be discovered so quickly.

When Fairy Xuan Xueqi saw that he was still not moving, she began to raise her voice coldly. "Step aside now, Protégé Ye Fan. Or do you want to disobey your mistress?"

Without waiting for Ye Fan to react, she had already stepped forward to push him aside and was already looking at the wall inscriptions.

Ye Fan found himself standing behind her and all a sudden he was looking at her beautiful back. Then a thought crossed his mind: This is a perfect opportunity for me to kill the Witch Xuan Xueqi. As long as I can exercise all my profound strength into my one and only first strike, then I can even pierce through her profound aura…

Fairy Xuan Xueqi was suddenly heard giggling and her beautiful body was trembling lightly with her laughter, "You seriously believe in this crap that is said by this Sword Saint Sword Saint?"

Ye Fan was astonished that Fairy Xuan Xueqi did not even use her fingers to try to read the inscriptions and instead she had simply used her divine sense to read the words.

Then she had turned around to look at Ye Fan and this was the most alluring smile that Ye Fan had ever seen.

"Are you thinking of striking behind my back? Well, you are a bit slow."

Ye Fan was stunned; it was impossible for her to know about his killing intentions. So, this must be a test by her.

So he tried to maintain his composure by insisting, "I am 100% loyal to my mistress."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled wryly as she stared at him with her alluringly golden eyes, "Do you think that I will believe you even though you got such a honest look?"

Ye Fan: …

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled at him before she turned around again to say, "This Sword Saint Ji Yuan must be a high level sword cultivator for he can inscribe these words with his mere sword fingers. His inscriptions are also quite tidy and beautiful in prose, which is a surprise to me…"

"However, this Senior Xiang Li here is less skillful. Her inscriptions are craved by a sword and her handwriting looks horrible to say the least. It is no wonder why this Sword Saint has destroyed her inscriptions with his sword fingers."

Ye Fan was actually shocked; sword fingers?!

He had always though that the sword stroke that had inspired him was an actual sword stroke…

This Sword Saint Ji Yuan was much more formidable than he had thought.

But still, he could not help asking. "I wonder what does the inscription that was left behind by Senior Xiang Li is saying?"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled at him, "Why don't you try to read it with your divine sense yourself?"

Ye Fan slowly said, "Your protégé is still a low level cultivator and I can't read it with my divine sense yet."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi lifted a wryly smile, "Don't worry, it won't be too long. Once you are a True Origin cultivator like me, you will be able to read it."

Ye Fan: …

Ye Fan: …

Ye Fan: …

This would take him a very long time…

This won't do at all…

He quickly smiled and said, "Or maybe my mistress is awkward that she can't read the destroyed inscriptions? I will be very disappointed if my mistress isn't that capable to read the destroyed inscription and she is only trying to hide her awkwardness."

Fairy Xuan Xueqi chuckled softly and she was bending her body as though this was the funniest thing that she had ever heard.

Finally, she laughed as she said. "You know, Ye Fan. I won't fall for your trick. But I don't mind telling you what it says."

Then she stopped laughing to stare coldly at Ye Fan, "This Senior Xiang Li says, don't ever believe anything this Ji Yuan has said because it is all crap."

Ye Fan: …

Ye Fan: …

Ye Fan: …

Do you think that I will believe you?

Moreover, it is obvious that Senior Ji Yuan is the stronger sword cultivator, right? So I should believe what Senior Ji Yuan has said…

Or maybe Xiang Li is the stronger sword cultivator instead?

I should perfect my divine sense in order to read the destroyed inscriptions…

All of a sudden Fairy Xuan Xueqi had lifted her hands to lift her profound power; in just a blink of an eye, she had destroyed the inscriptions on the wall!

This shocked and stunned Ye Fan because in this way, he would never know the true secrets behind the inscriptions!

This Witch Xuan Xueqi is too much!

Fairy Xuan Xueqi smiled wryly at him, "You are upset with your mistress? I saw your crestfallen expression. Or maybe you want to kill me?"

Ye Fan was startled; this Witch Xuan Xueqi is too shrewd!

3 years ago, she had ruined him.

3 years later, she had once again ruined his chance to pick up a lofty secret sword cultivation stroke!

He bit his lips to answer nonchalantly, "I dare not!"

Xuan Xueqi hummed coldly, "It is better if you really did not have such an intention…"

Then she started to walk past him but all of a sudden, she had turned around to lit a faint smile. "You know Ye Fan. When a person is composed, it means that he has much to hide. Your playacting and your composure are both too good. And that is bad…."

When Ye Fan had heard her, he began to break down into a cold sweat; it was as though she was turning around just to kill him after she had done saying to him.

But she said instead, "Tomorrow morning, come to my inner palace to pick your cultivation methods. I don't want you to come to this place, ever again. This is my order."

Ye Fan bitterly answered, "Your protégé obeys my mistress' instructions."

With that, she had disappeared from the entrance of the tomb and she had left Ye Fan with a broken heart.

He could only curse this Witch Xue Xueqi silently in his heart: She must be thinking of using an inferior cultivation to waste my potential. What a ruthless witch…
