Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 172 Lord of the Spirit Body

Lin Fan was grasped by a soft little hand, which passed through Zi Yue's chest, and he was suddenly dazed.

"Second brother, I've finally found you. The hot water is ready for you. Would you like me to serve you a bath?"

Lin Fan was startled when he heard the voices of the maidservants serving him not far away. He pulled Zi Yue, who was holding his hand, behind him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Second Brother." Zi Yue whispered in Lin Fan's ear, her breath hot against his ear, "Do you still need me to bathe you?"

Lin Fan lowered his voice, "Don't cause trouble. If someone sees you wearing these clothes, they'll think you're a monster."

"Hehe, I've already told you I'm a spirit, no one else can see me except you."

To prove this point, Zi Yue simply jumped out from behind Lin Fan, nimbly leaping behind the woman and pulling her hair.

Nu'e felt her hair being pulled, but when she turned around, she saw nothing.

"What are you looking around for? Lead the way! When the hot water gets cold, just fill it up again." Lin Fan interrupted her questioning and urged her to hurry up.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll do whatever you say, Second Brother." Nü'e said in her standard business voice and vivid expression, then turned and led the way.

When they reached the top of the stairs, Ziyue looked at Lin Fan's swaying hips and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, Second Brother is really enjoying the view."

Lin Fan ignored her and continued walking forward. Zi Yue, annoyed, jumped between the two of them.

Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the two purple spheres and snow-white thighs in front of him.

"What are you laughing at?" Ziyue turned around and scolded.

"It's nothing, the scenery is nice," Lin Fan said, suppressing a laugh.

Zi Yue looked around before realizing what was going on, "What kind of scenery are you looking at!"

After saying that, he covered the back of his hoodie with his hand.

The young woman turned around upon hearing the voice, saying, "If Second Brother wants to watch, I'll walk slower." She was quite sensible, but unfortunately, she didn't know that Lin Fan wasn't speaking to her.

So they slowed down.

Zi Yue was caught between the two, unwilling to leave, yet she always seemed to sense Lin Fan's gaze.

So I walked with my legs tucked together and my hoodie pressed against me.

Lin Fan dismissed Nü'e as he had done a few days before, and went to take a bath.

Ziyue abruptly pulled the curtain shut for him, clearly still angry.

Lin Fan soaked in the bathtub, his thoughts in turmoil. He truly hoped to have someone by his side whom he could trust and with whom he could confide everything.

But something just feels off, like a natural protective reaction when people face unexpected situations.

When Lin Fan finished washing up and got dressed, he saw that Zi Yue had changed her clothes.

Lin Fan was taken aback, because the white dress was exactly the same as Lin Yue'er's, except that some subtle parts had a hint of purple.

The same clothes and the same face, aren't they exactly the same?

"Brother Xiao Fan? Is that you?" Lin Yue'er squatted on the ground like a duck, looking at Lin Fan with her wet eyes. "Where is this? Yue'er is so scared."

Lin Fan sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Zi Yue, this isn't funny."

"Oh my god, how did you recognize me!" Zi Yue jumped up, her twin ponytails swaying behind her head.

Lin Fan suddenly grabbed a ponytail and pulled her over. "What do you think? It's one thing to change the clothes, but the hairstyle is so obviously fake, are you trying to fool a fool?"

Zi Yue's ponytail suddenly blurred, slipping through Lin Fan's hand and falling down. "That old hairstyle was too troublesome. This one is so much more convenient with just a quick tie. Besides, didn't you say you changed it because modern clothes felt out of place on you?"

As she spoke, Ziyue shook her head, letting her two long ponytails sway from side to side.

"You can change your clothes however you want, but not your hair?" Lin Fan asked.

"How can that be the same? Otherwise, I'd like to go back to my original appearance. Hair is part of the body; not only can it not be changed, but I also have to wash it. You don't know how troublesome it is for girls to wash their hair," Ziyue rambled on. "Let's not talk about that anymore, Brother Xiaofan, I have a gift for you."

Lin Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this form of address, but said nothing.

With that, Ziyue turned and went behind the screen, then pulled someone out.

The person was dragged on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, almost unrecognizable.

Lin Fan looked at Zi Yue and Ma Youcai on the ground in surprise, thinking, "Is this even possible?"

"See? I told you my cheat was amazing!" Zi Yue said proudly. "Isn't it better than yours?"

She stomped on Ma Liangcai's face, which was as purple as an eggplant, and said, "Now you understand why my cheat is called 'Lord of Spirits' instead of just 'Spirit.'"

Lin Fan hadn't actually thought about this question at all, but Zi Yue knew him quite well. Lin Fan simply accepted that the title "Lord of Spirits" was merely Zi Yue's own preference, like "Lord of Beast Taming," "Lord of Best Friends," or "Lord of Gray Mist."

Ma Liangcai, who was being trampled underfoot, seemed to understand something upon hearing this.

To be honest, he was completely dazed for a while.

Logically speaking, as a sword spirit, only Lin Fan should be able to see me, and I can only control the black sword. Otherwise, I cannot affect reality nor be affected by it.

Today, he was hiding in the Black Knife, thinking about what Lin Fan had encountered in the past few days, and considering when to come out and give Lin Fan a reason that he couldn't refuse.

Despite being rejected by Lin Fan so many times before, Ma Liangcai is very shrewd. Every time he tests Lin Fan, it's to find out his weaknesses and bottom line so he can always find an opportunity.

But this woman, this violent maniac, shattered everything with her fists.

He couldn't understand why he felt pain when he was hit, even though he was a spirit. Why was he injured? And why wouldn't the injury heal? The pain would persist. Moreover, despite being spirits, their fighting abilities were worlds apart.

Even with a rational analysis, Ma Youcai believed that since his true form was the Black Knife, and the Black Knife was unharmed, he would never "die." However, the unknown factors terrified him, and the pain itself also frightened him. So he had no choice but to temporarily submit.

At this moment, Ma Liangcai interjected, "So that's how it is. So you can be above all spirits?"

This timely interjection might have been awkward, so Ziyue simply stepped on Ma Liangcai's face with her white-soled, purple-patterned boots, raised her swan-like neck triumphantly, and said, "You could say that!"

After a moment's pause, she scratched her head and added, "But it's not fully developed yet, so it can't be said to be above all other beings."

"Ziyue, thank you for helping me get revenge," Lin Fan said solemnly.

Zi Yue's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled and said, "Of course, and that's not all. Hey, it's your turn to shine."

Ma Liangcai changed from lying down to kneeling, and honestly said, "I swear, I will never let Fourth Sister come out to flirt with Master again, nor will I let her make demands to make Master do such things. I will definitely do my best to assist Master from now on."
