I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 64: Lil Bro, You’re so Mean

Taking the beyond-grade Qi Gathering Pill, her qi meridians expanded with a roar, and Wu Xue reached the 6th layer of Qi Refinement Realm. She was gradually getting used to cultivation and was able to absorb most of the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill. She was no longer as clueless as before and wasting tons of the medicinal power. However, she had no idea how much stronger she had become. She could feel like that strength had increased a bit, but her body didn’t seem to have grown and was still that of a young girl.

Wu Xue felt anxious. She felt like god was playing a joke on her. She had been eating a ton every day for a while now, but her body didn’t seem to be growing any meat, let alone meat in a certain area. “Ugh… If this goes on, Young Master will be seduced by those senior sisters’ evil bodies.”

Wu Xue felt a sense of danger, but the thought of being able to sleep in Ye Yong’s arms later that night and waking up in his embrace the next day made her very happy. However, after leaving her room, she heard beautiful flute music and the heavenly singing voice of women coming from the living room. A bad premonition flashed through her mind, and she rushed to the living room to take a look. She saw two unbelievably beautiful women sitting on both sides of Ye Yong and singing.

The singing was extremely beautiful, relaxing the mood of anyone who listened. Even Wu Xue, who had been feeling dejected, was somewhat infected by it. In other words, she felt relaxed, but not completely. She felt bad, but not entirely. Her feelings were extremely complicated.

“Young Master…” When the singing stopped, Wu Xue walked out before they could start singing the next song, and bowed. “Who are these two fairy sisters?”

Although Wu Xue didn’t think that her memory was that good, she had seen all the female disciples of the Music and Art Hall that day when Ye Yong went to take the assessment. They were beautiful, but they didn’t give her the impression of being ethereal beauties, as if they didn’t exist in this world.

“They are paintings drawn by the hall master. They were endowed with spirit, somewhat similar to human souls. You can think of them as painting soul.”

“Paint- painting souls?” Ever since becoming Ye Yong’s maid, Wu Xue had seen many things beyond her imagination. Previously, during Ye Yong’s assessment, when she was waiting in the main hall, she heard Lu Xiao Xiao and the others mention painting spirits. Wu Xue never thought that paintings made by cultivators could look just like ordinary people. It was incredible.

“This one is big sis Hua Ming, and this one is big sis Hua Xin,” Ye Yong continued.

The two painting beauties had their own appeals and their own temperaments. Apart from the fact that they both had sexy figures, they were pretty easy to distinguish.

Wu Xue greeted them respectfully and stated that she was going to cook dinner. She asked if they could eat.

“We’ll probably have to wait a for few hundred years before we can eat,” Hua Ming smiled and shook her head.

“We appreciate the gesture,” Hua Xin said. “However, I am interested in the cooking process. May I watch?”

“I- I’m actually not very good at cooking, and I’ve only just started learning. I’m afraid you will be disappointed after seeing it.” Wu Xue wasn’t lying. She had been weak and sickly in the past, so her parents had never let her do any chores. Even after they disappeared and Wu Xue went to live with her uncle, a merchant, there were maids to do the work, so she didn’t need to do anything herself.

After being sold to the Ye Family, she received three days of basic training, but she had never done those things before, so she was clumsy and got scolded a lot. Normally, she wouldn’t have been able to start working so quickly, but Ye Yong’s mother happened to notice her, and then she was assigned to be Ye Yong’s maid.

It had been about three months since Wu Xue became Ye Yong’s maid. Ye Yong was a cultivator, so he hardly ate. But whether or not he ate, Wu Xue would go to the kitchen to pick up his meal every day while in the Ye Family. After that, she would go and get her own meal, so she didn’t have the chance to hone her cooking skills. After coming to the Heavenly Luo Sect, she was prepared to start cooking because there wasn’t a Ye Family chef here, but Ye Yong bought the cooking system and gave her delicious spiritual food every day. She was only able to consult with Lil Huan about cooking during the few days Lil Huan had been with them, as she wanted to be able to do something when Ye Yong went into seclusion.

Besides, the statement about going to cook dinner was just a strategic retreat. Wu Xue actually wanted to observe the painting beauties’ relationship with Ye Yong.

“It’s fine, I just want to watch.” Since Hua Xin said so, Wu Xue naturally couldn’t refuse anymore. After all, she was just a maid.

After Wu Xue took Hua Xin to the kitchen to show off her half-baked cooking skills, Ye Yong focused his attention on the scrolls hanging on the wall. There was nothing inside the scrolls because the things inside had already run out. Hua Ming said they couldn’t eat, and it was normal for souls not to be able to eat physical objects, but what if it was a soul object?

Can they eat the food drawn in the painting? Will it have any flavor? As a curious young man, Ye Yong told Hua Ming about his idea.

Hua Ming was very surprised when she heard it. “This is something we haven’t considered. After the hall master drew us, she just arranged for us to be put in the assessment room. And we, as painting souls, have never thought about eating.” She hadn’t thought about it before, but after spending time with Ye Yong, Hua Ming and Hua Xin, who used to be obedient tools that only followed Mu Qing Yin’s instructions, had started to gain their own thoughts and were gradually starting to become curious about the things around them.

“Then shall we try?” Ye Yong took out a piece of paper and quickly drew a big flat cake. Don’t ask why it’s a big flat cake. Let’s just say that it’s because a big flat cake is easy to draw.

After seeing it, Hua Ming laughed lightly. “Lil bro, you can’t do it like that. Besides good art skills, you also need a good spirit brush, spirit ink, and good painting scrolls to create a painting soul.”

Of course Ye Yong knew that, he was just pretending to be ignorant. “Then… big sis, do you mind if I draw on the scroll?”

“Lil bro, you’re so mean. The scroll is my body. Are you going to draw on the big sis’s body? How can you just say to draw on it?” Although she said that, Hua Ming didn’t show any signs of rejection. Her eyes were clear and watery, staring at Ye Yong, obviously thinking about something else. After a while, her red lips moved slightly. “If lil bro is willing to let big sis hug you for a while, big sis will let you draw on the scroll.”

These past few days, although they often teased Ye Yong verbally and occasionally touched him physically, they hadn’t made any large-scale physical contact.

Hua Ming made such a request because she wanted to feel Ye Yong’s mysterious aura more closely. She felt that this aura could accelerate her spiritualization.

Ye Yong didn’t know what Hua Ming was thinking and thought it was because he was too charming. Since he had bought the high-level concealment system, he wasn’t afraid of others probing into his body with their divine soul power. Although he really wanted to try what it felt like to hug a painting soul, he had an image to maintain, so he couldn’t just agree so easily. And so, he showed a shy expression. “That’s not very good, is it?”

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid that big sis will take advantage of you?” Hua Ming quite liked seeing Ye Yong like this.

“I’m afraid that I’ll be taking advantage of big sis.”

“In that case, let’s consider it mutually beneficial, and neither of us will lose out.”

Mu Qing Yin could see and hear everything about the painting spirits, but she couldn’t know what they were thinking. Originally, she was reading while using a bit of her divine sense to pay attention to Ye Yong’s movements, but after hearing Hua Ming’s words, she was startled. What’s going on? Can spiritual bodies also be attracted to living people?

She was shocked, but she didn’t stop them, because she wanted to know what changes would occur if souls fell in love with living people and whether or not it would accelerate the formation of their consciousness.

And so, there were three people, who were completely out of sync with each other, each with their own thoughts.
