'So I transmigrated, huh,' the man mumbled inwardly. He then got out of bed and tried to walk towards the window beside the writing station.
The man's white robe nearly fell out due to how loosely it was tied. He quickly caught it and tied it back tightly.
'This body originally could not cultivate,' the man mumbled inwardly as he tightened the rope around his waist.
He then gradually took a step but winced when he felt his legs quiver under his own weight, 'He was weak too, fragile as glass…'
But the man clenched his jaw in determination and took another step, and the next, and the next….
'If it had not been for his mother, who loves him unconditionally, he would have been abandoned long ago…'
With a few grunts and grumbles, the man managed to arrive at the window, 'But this body grew bitter, colder, by the day. Blaming his loving mother for his misfortune and calling her many unspeakable things.'
He placed his hand on the desk beside the window for support while he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
'But she was persistent. She used every resource available to find a cure for her son. Which almost resulted in a rebellion against her.'
His sullen chest heaved up and down while a small, victorious smile adorned his face.
His emerald green eyes looked forward, glimpsing at the vast force that his mother had managed to build.
In front of him were tall pagodas that rose high into the sky; one had a dragon coiling around it, while the other was simple yet elegant.
Many houses were raised at a uniform distance, while a large swath of land had raised stages that acted as fighting arenas.
Out in the distance was a massive gate that looked big even from the perspective of the man, and it read, "Eternal Lotus Sect!"
One of the top five powers in the realm, and he, Xi Tian, is its heir!
Xi Tian clenched his fists with determination while his eyes shone furiously as he mumbled, "I will correct his mistakes. And make her proud of me! I will use the gift that was given to me and become the strongest!"
…..
A young girl in a maid uniform was walking down the halls as she hummed her favorite tune.
She had a little smile on her face as she thought about the upcoming sect competition.
'If I can come in the top ten, I can finally get rid of this damn position!' she mumbled inwardly as her face contorted in hate, thinking about the man she was serving, the only man in this Sect.
But then, as if flipped a switch, her face, full of hatred, turned into one of pity, "Poor Sect master, she has to put up with that damned man! If I were her, I would kill that ungrateful bastard!"
She gnashed her teeth against each other as she clenched her fists in anger.
After a few minutes of walking while cursing Xi Tian non-stop, she arrived at his room.
She then adjusted her clothes, covering more of her skin while still cursing him under her breath. She knocked on the door, "Young master, it's me, Mei Xun."
"Enter." A voice came from behind the door.
"Wentwer!" Mei Xun made fun of him while snorting at the hateful man and opened the door.
The moment she entered, her face changed instantly as she put on the most innocent face she could.
She made her eyes big while she puffed her cheeks. She turned towards the bed, where she expected him to be, but was surprised when she did not see him.
"I am over here," Xi Tian said, making her turn towards him. He was still standing by the window, but with a grin on his face.
'Hmph!' she snorted inwardly while she gave him a small bow, "Young master—"
She was about to say something, but Xi Tian cut her off and ordered, "Come closer."
Mei Xun's lips twitched in irritation that he had cut her off, but she stayed silent; 'it's better to do what he wants and get out of here than to argue with him.'
She slowly started to walk towards him and stopped a few feet away from him.
"Closer," Xi Tian muttered, and Mei Xun took another step before halting.
Xi Tian squinted his eyes at the maid and said again, "Closer."
Mei Xun frowned at his orders but complied nonetheless; she expected him to say it again, but Xi Tian was silent. Instead,
"Ah!" Mei Xun yelped in surprise as Xi Tian grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer.
Mei Xun's eyes widened in surprise at his sudden actions. Anger filled his heart as she pursed her lips and looked up to Xi Tian. She was about to blast him away but stopped after hearing his next words.
"You cursed me earlier, didn't you?" Xi Tian said as he squinted his eyes at her.
Mei Xun felt as if the world itself had come to a stop; her heartbeat quickened while her palms began to sweat. "H-How?"
That was the only word she could manage to get out of her mouth, 'How does he know? Did he hear me? But I made sure to curse him in a low voice? Wait, what if he complained about me to the sect master!? She will definitely punish me!'
Her mind became a mess as she overthought about every time she cursed him.
But she was brought back to life when Xi Tian slapped her ass.
PAH
"Ahh!" Mei Xun moaned in pain as she ran her perky butt while glaring at Xi Tian.
But Xi Tian scoffed at her and asked, "What? Do you want me to tell my mother?"
All colour drained from Mei Xun's face when she listened to his words; she shook her head repeatedly while she gazed at him with pitiful eyes.
Xi Tian smirked while his emerald green eyes shone with amusement as he said, "Don't you know that cursing people behind their backs is a bad habit?"
Mei Xun's eyes widened in surprise when she heard him say that. A look of disbelief adorned her face.
'Are you really saying that? I can swear to the heavens that I witnessed you curse the elders and their ancestors on their backs, you damn bastard!'
But her thoughts got interrupted when Xi Tian slapped her ass again, "Answer me! Is it not bad to curse people on their backs?"
Mei Xun's eyes teared up while her face was flushed with shame; she wanted to squash him like a bug but couldn't.
She had no choice but to play his games and nodded her head in reply; but that wasn't enough for Xi Tian.
PAH
"Say it out loud!"
"It's wrong! Cursing people on their backs is wrong, okay!?" Mei Xun yelled at him while her eyes reddened with shame. But,
PAH
"Why are you raising your voice at me?" Xi Tian slapped her ass again.
Mei Xun's face turned even redder; she was on the verge of breaking down and was barely holding on.
Xi Tian noticed this and knew that he had to end this before it took a wrong turn.
"Now, since you admitted your mistake, you have got to be punished," Xi Tian stopped mid-way, looking at her reaction.
Mei Xun was now tearing up; the damn bastard was going to complain no matter what!
Xi Tian smirked, satisfied with her reaction; he continued, "But, since I am a benevolent person, I shall forgive you."
Mei Xun's face brightened as she turned up to see him with wide eyes, "R-Really?" She asked.
Xi Tian smiled as he replied, "Yes, really. But you have to do something for me…"
Mei Xun squinted her eyes at him, suspicious of his request, "What is it?"
This time, all smiles faded from Xi Tian's face, replaced with seriousness as he said, "Go and call my mother."
She frowned when she heard his request and shook her head and informed, "I can't do that. The secret master is in an important meeting. I cannot just go—"
PAH
"Do you want to be forgiven or not?" Xi Tian asked as he narrowed his eyes on her.
Mei Xun was now glaring hatefully at him, not even trying to hide her hatred. But Xi Tian was not going to back down either.
His eyes shone brightly as he muttered, "Go call my mother. Tell her it's important, and tell her that it's about my cultivation."
Mei Xun was a little shocked by the seriousness in his voice; 'Maybe it is important,' she thought inwardly and nodded her head.
She then turned around to leave and go call Xi Tian's mother when another slap came onto her ass.
PAH
Mei Xun turned around while glaring at him accusingly. But Xi Tian just smirked at her and said, "Where's my thanks for forgiving you?"
Mei Xun was now genuinely shocked, 'Just how shameless can a man be?' she wondered. She looked at the man with anger, "Hmph!" She snorted at him before turning around and muttering, "Hateful bastard!"
Xi Tian, who heard her, asked, "Do you want another slap?" while he widened his smirk.
"Hii!" Mei Xun exclaimed as she dashed out of the room in fear of another slap on her butt cheeks.
CHUCKLE
Xi Tian broke out into a chuckle as he watched Mei Xun leave. He then turned around towards the window and started gazing out while waiting for his mother to arrive.
'It's time to right the wrongs!'
