Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger! Chapter 10
Advertisement
The next morning, in a quiet and elegant room at the back mountain of the Profound Sword Sect.
A beautiful girl was lying on a large sandalwood bed engraved with dragon patterns.
Her breathing was steady, and the saliva at one corner of her mouth indicated that she was sleeping soundly.
The man beside her had sword-shaped eyebrows, bright eyes and a graceful bearing.
He was dressed in white and looked like an immortal.
This man was Xuan Yi, and the girl on the bed was Bai Weiwei.
This room was also Xuan Yi's place of cultivation.
Yesterday, Bai Weiwei had kept calling his name and holding on to him tightly like a frightened bird.
After all, she had worked hard for so long, and it was time for her to rest.
Hence, Xuan Yi decided to put her in his bed. After all, no one dared to come to this place without his permission.
Moreover, he still had some things to explain to Bai Weiwei.
Glancing at the girl on the bed, Xuan Yi rubbed his nose helplessly.
This girl was really...
Yesterday, in order to treat Bai Weiwei's injuries, he had gone through a lot of trouble.
It wasn't that her injuries were difficult to treat. Due to her special physique, he had to be very careful, or she would really become a wastrel.
At this moment, the young girl on the bed frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
At first, she looked confused, then she suddenly thought of something and her expression turned to shock. Finally, she saw Xuan Yi looking at with a mild expression on his face.
Bai Weiwei's face suddenly turned red and the blush even spread to her ears.
Because she had guessed that this was her master's room.
"Mas... mas... mas."
Bai Weiwei quickly lowered her head, her face as red as a child who had done something wrong. She stammered as she tried to talk.
"Yes," Xuan Yi replied softly.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
Bai Weiwei quickly checked herself.
Then, she took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "It's alright, it's alright. My Yuan Yin is still there..."
Yuan Yin, the symbol of a maid...

Xuan Yi: ...
Bai Weiwei: ...
The air seemed to have frozen.
"Ahem. I was asking about your injuries. What were you thinking about?" Xuan Yi reminded her.
"Oh! Injuries." Bai Weiwei understood this time and immediately checked.
The result surprised her, no, it astonished her.
She found that her previous injuries had all healed. More importantly, she was actually at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm but she had lost almost all of her cultivation strength only yesterday!
But the result was not surprising to Xuan Yi. Although the girl's talent had been suppressed for five years and her realm had declined, the past five years of continuous cultivation had made her foundation very solid.
The most important thing was that she had his help. He was worried that her foundation would be unstable if her level increased too fast, otherwise he'd help her break through to the Golden Core Realm.
However, how could Bai Weiwei know about this? She was shocked by the change, but more than that, she was grateful.
To her, this change was almost like a rebirth. He had given her a new life.
Bai Weiwei hurriedly got up from the bed and knelt down.
"Master, I'll never forget your great kindness." Bai Weiwei's eyes were misty, but she forced back her tears because she didn't want her master to think that she was weak.
Xuan Yi nodded and said indifferently, "Alright, since you call me master, you should accept these things."
With a flash of white light, a few things appeared in front of Bai Weiwei, including a supreme-grade spirit sword and an ancient cultivation scroll with the words Supreme Yin Scripture written on the cover. She looked at the scroll with great interest. There was also a bottle of fragrant pills that looked quite extraordinary.
"Oh my God, this is..." Bai Weiwei's beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with a hand.
"Master, these things are really too valuable for me to accept."
"Too valuable for you? Why is that? As my disciple, there's nothing too valuable for you!"
"Then... Then I'll take this spirit sword. I lost my sword." Bai Weiwei pointed at the spirit sword, looking expectant.

Exasperated, Xuan Yi said, "Of these three things, you've chosen the least valuable sword. It seems that I didn't heal your brain just now. Come, let me take a good look at you again."
Hearing her master's tease words, Bai Weiwei's face turned red.
Without waiting for her to speak, Xuan Yi explained, "This bottle of pill is a holy medicine. It's called the Life Creation Pill. Not only can it grow flesh on bones, but it can also improve one's strength and help one break through to higher levels. And this scroll is an imperial scripture called the Supreme Yin Scripture. If you cultivate it well, with your current foundation, you'll easily surpass the sect master."
"What?" Bai Weiwei was shocked, but most of all she was full of disbelief.
Of course, she didn't think that these items were fake. She just didn't believe that she, a mediocre disciple who had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Realm, could surpass the sect master.
Xuan Yi saw her doubt and asked, "Why, you don't believe me? As long as you cultivate hard with me, you future is bright!"
Bai Weiwei hurriedly stood up and explained, "I. . . Of course I believe in you, Master, but..."
"But what?"
Bai Weiwei told him everything about her family. Finally, she expressed her wish to return to her family and solve the family's problems before coming back to cultivate with him.
Xuan Yi frowned and thought for a moment. He thought that she would be unable to cultivate well with him and her progress would be much slower with such worries on her mind. So he agreed.
However, for the sake of her safety, Xuan Yi injected a stream of sword energy into her spirit sword to protect her.
"Remember, this sword contains one of my sword moves. If someone attacks you, activate the sword energy in the spirit sword. Those below the fifth level of Law Enforcement Realm are not your match!" Xuan Yi instructed her.
After he took in Bai Wei Wei as his disciple, the system had rewarded him by increasing his cultivation level to the fifth level of Law Enforcement Realm.
Xuan Yi was unrivalled among those of the same level!
He could even kill enemies who were one or two levels higher than his.
"Okay." Bai Wei Wei was deeply touched.
After she accepted the things given by her master, she only had one thought in her mind, which was to quickly settle the family issues and then return to her master's side to cultivate.
Then, she left the mountain.
When she came to the outer sect to pack up her stuff, to her surprise, a large group of disciples surrounded her with envy in their eyes.
"My God, isn't this Bai Weiwei? Her aura... how could it be! ! ! She actually recovered! She's even stronger than Ma Liang who has reached the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm!"
"Yeah, and look at the sword in her hand. That's a spirit sword."
"Yeah, and it's a supreme-grade spirit sword. Elder Xuan is as generous as ever."
"Humph, she's just relying on Elder Xuan. She'd never afford it with her own abilities."
"I'm furious. Why is she so lucky?"
"Shush, keep your voice down. She is now Elder Xuan's personal disciple. She'd be fine even if she killed you. If you want to die, don't drag me with you."
"That day at the Sword Worship Assembly, Elder Xuan confronted the sect master in front of so many masters because of her. He said that if the sect master didn't agree for him to take in Bai Weiwei as a disciple, he'd quit from his position as a Law Enforcement Elder."
...
Some disciples feared her while others disdained her. However, all of them had intense envy in their eyes when they looked at her.
When Bai Weiwei heard these comments, she was stunned since she had fainted and thus did not hear Xuan Yi's words to the sect master. Now that she heard it from the outer sect disciples, she was extremely shocked.
"In order to take me in as a disciple, my master has actually done so much... I can not let him down!"
Then Bai Weiwei packed a few things and left the Profound Sword Sect.

Eusocial
There's a reason people made the word improbable. Just because something would never happen based on common sense or reason, doesn't mean it can't happen. For example, a soul maintaining their memories through the River of the afterlife, a stream of ethereal energies that remove and store memories from the recently departed only to return when they die again. Another example, a soul by it's sheer will maintaining awareness during the process of a new body's development; nearly infintesimile chances of happening, but there is still a chance. Hi, you can call me Esseu (S U) and I managed to do both of those nearly impossible things back to back. My reward for such a feat? I was turned into a glorified bee keeper.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
