《Vengeful Martial God》Chapter 8: Downfall of a Genius (EDITED)
Advertisement
When Ye Meng circulated his Qi, he found out that it was completely refined over and over again. He felt that if he could use half the Qi than before for the same effect! “I wonder what other functions the Divine Elemental Stone might have…This item wasn’t in Ye Qian’s memories so it must be something from the God Realm! I can’t get complacent with just this level of strength, there are over trillions of people who could all kill me in a single blow.”
Ye Meng happily walked out of the room and headed to the courtyard where Li Xiaoyu was practicing. He was in a really good mood so he decided to tease her a bit. Her mask was off and she was repeating the stances of the technique over and over again. She was wearing a set of white training robes that were completely drenched in sweat so Ye Meng could see through them. Meanwhile, Li Xiaoyu felt like someone was watching her so she turned around to see Ye Meng staring at her body with a lewd expression on his face.
She instantly turned crimson when she saw her clothes were see through. She tried to flee but Ye Meng appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye. Ye Meng forcefully locked lips with her and moved his hands over her body while gently caressing her smooth skin. Her lips were very soft and her saliva was very fragrant. Ye Meng savored every second of this joyful experience and made sure to burn it into his memories. Li Xiaoyu tried to resist at first, but her strength was being drained from her body every second. She was like Superman trying to resist the effects of Kryptonite, it just wasn’t possible as kryptonite was Superman’s natural weakness.
Li Xiaoyu didn’t know why but her heart was beating extremely fast, and she felt extremely hot in places Ye Meng’s hands touched. A minute passed and Ye Meng let the red faced Li Xiaoyu go. “That was the first kiss you owe me.” Ye Meng said with a devious smile while walking out of the door.
Li Xiaoyu traced her lips with a finger while thinking about how her first kiss was taken by Ye Meng. When they slept together, it was like a hug so she didn’t care as much about it. Li Xiaoyu has given tons of hugs to her family members so she didn’t put it in her eyes. But now, her first kiss has been forcefully taken by Ye Meng! Whenever she thought of the kiss, her face turned crimson red which made her even more attractive and her heart started beating quickly.
Meanwhile, Ye Meng was secretly following the crestfallen Dongxue Tian. Dongxue Tian has always been a genius in the Dongxue Clan and always received the best treatment. Woman? He had very beautiful concubines that were gifts from various clans to improve their relations with. He also had a beautiful fiancee who was the princess of the Kingdom. Money? He received 500 low grade spirit stones every year, which was an extremely large sum. 500 low grade spirit stones was equivalent to 50,000,000 silver liangs! 50,000,000 silver liangs was how much an average Tier 5 alchemist would have on him! You have to know that average cultivators are very frugal, they aren’t like those young masters of the big clans who can spend freely. They have to kill beasts for magical cores to sell which is risking their lives!
Cultivation Resources? He always received the finest pills given to him as gifts. Whatever he asked for, he was given it. It made his personality arrogant and unruly.

Everything changed overnight when the Soul Cleansing ancestor found out that he was crippled. Everyone in the capital knew about it, even the servants of restaurants! His status in the clan instantly plummeted and the only reason he was still alive was because he was the son of the Patriarch. Even his own father was cold to him because he was crippled. His father had over 20 sons and daughters so how could he care about a crippled son from a concubine? Dongxue Tian had the potential to be a Divine Sense elder in the Dongxue Clan so that’s why everyone treated him so well before he became a cripple.
There were only 4 Divine Sense elders in the Dongxue Clan, not counting the deceased Dongxue Huan so each additional one was a huge boost to the clan’s power. After he got crippled, his allowance plummeted to a fraction of what he had in the past. He only got 1,000,000 silver liangs a year which was equivalent to how much an average Marrow Cleansing stage cultivator had only because his father was the Patriarch of the clan. All his beloved concubines who’d spent nights accompanying him were all sold to cheap brothels because no one wants used goods, especially from a cripple. He had received a particularly heaven defying beauty that he was completely infatuated with a couple of days ago. As for cultivation resources, he didn’t receive anything! No one would waste pills on a useless cripple. They might add some low Tier healing pills to make sure he doesn’t die when being beat up.
You can’t simply imagine how angry Dongxue Tian was when he heard all of this. None of his friends remained by his side and the only person who supported him fully was his mom. Sadly, his mom was only a mid Golden Elixir stage cultivator so how could she have much influence in the clan? There were hundreds of people stronger than her so the only positive thing she had was that she was extremely beautiful. Only by begging Dongxue Tian’s dad was she able to make his allowance 1,000,000 silver liangs. When his mom was around, no one under the same status dared to offend him but his mom was in charge of many things so she was often away on trips.
The Dongxue Clan was a clan filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. As soon as word got out that he was crippled, they bullied him and beat him up to the point where his eyes look like the eyes of a panda. None of his brothers helped him out because they weren’t even from the same mom! They weren’t obligated to do so as well because their status increased when he became a cripple. All of his friends cut off any form of relation towards him and acted cold when he tried to meet them.
Dongxue Tian was currently walked out of his clan with a measly mid Divine Sea stage bodyguard when suddenly, a fist socked him in the jaw. Crack! Some bones on his face broke and the bodyguard just sat there doing nothing as he didn’t want to offend the figure in front of him. It was the 14th Young Master of the Dongxue Clan, Dongxue Nan! (Dongxue Tian is older than Dongxue Nan.) Dongxue Nan was a genius only slightly below Dongxue Tian and the latter always bullied the former. Now it was his time for revenge. “Trash! How dare you walk the same path as I, your father! Aren’t you scared of dying?” the vile Dongxue Nan yelled towards Dongxue Tian. Crack! Crack! More of Dongxue Tian’s bones broke as the younger brother relentlessly kicked the older brother’s ribcage. Ptui! Spit landed on the enraged Dongxue Tian’s face. “Kowtow and call me grandfather or else I’ll make you even more crippled than you already are! You useless cripple!” ordered Dongxue Nan.

Dongxue Tian gritted his teeth and kowtowed towards Dongxue Nan. “G-Grandfather.”
He knew he had to endure and meet Hua Tong’er. Surely she wouldn’t discriminate against him, right? Dongxue Nan sneered and said a bunch of snide remarks towards him as he walked away with his bodyguards. Dongxue Tian pulled out a healing pill from his interspatial pouch and popped it in his mouth. “Get that spit off of me.” ordered Dongxue Tian towards the bodyguard. The bodyguard gave him a look of disdain and reluctantly wiped it off. Dongxue Tian’s body fully healed in an hour and during that time, countless people passing by sneered, jeered and mocked him. In a world where strength reigns supreme, who would care about a cripple?
Generally, it shouldn’t take an hour to heal such severe injuries but Dongxue Tian was currently a mortal! A Tier 3 pill for small injuries could heal Dongxue Tian in an hour because Dongxue Tian had no Qi. Qi nourishes and spreads around the body so when Dongxue Tian was crippled, all of his Qi was lost. The Tier 3 pill just had to heal his Qi-less body, not the Qi nourished body of a cultivator. Dongxue Tian walked towards the beautiful concubine he’d received a while back called Hua Tong’er.
He heard a martial arts instructor teaching young members of the Dongxue Clan while using him as an example. “Listen up brats, don’t go offending people whose status and strength are way above your strength and status. Don’t be like the pitiful Dongxue Tian who offended a Tier 7 Alchemist.” The children all solemnly nodded, they were in the strict Dongxue Clan so how could they not take it to heart? They all knew that status is based on cultivation talent and who your family members are. If you become a cripple then you parents will basically disown you!” Dongxue Tian felt his cheeks go red at the humiliation and swore to himself to never trust anyone again. Everyone would stop caring about you once you stopped cultivating, this world was simply that brutal.
He entered her room and when she saw him, her beautiful face had small hints of disdain. With Dongxue Tian’s perception, he could see how much she loathed him. His heart felt like it was constantly getting pierced by needles and he feebly raised his voice to say something, “Beloved Tong’er, are you going to leave me too?”
She forced out a smile and told a lie, “I apologize and I hope you won’t take it to the heart but the Hua clan called me back. Don’t call me by beloved anymore, I find it a bit annoying.”
Dongxue Tian feebly smiled and hid the heartbreak in his voice, “It’s alright...You can go back..”
He knew exactly what she actually meant by her tone, she was leaving him for good because his status as a cripple. He knew that she never truly cared about him at all but he still became infatuated over her. Hua Tong’er sneered on the inside because from the time she was 5, the Hua Clan had adopted her because they thought she had the potential to be extremely beautiful. The Hua Clan was a clan on the same level as the Dongxue Clan, they were both known as one of the Four Great Clans of the Royal Shangxuan Kingdom along with the Xiang Clan and the Chen Clan. Her whole purpose was to seduce a young master with huge potential and become a concubine to get the Hua Clan in the young master’s good books when he became an expert. From her childhood, she’s been learning everything to prepare for her future like learning how to play a variety of instruments, learning how to act like a noble lady, learning how to properly seduce someone and cultivating. Her whole life was practicing seducing some young master, so why would she go for a cripple? That’s equivalent to digging her own grave!
As he watched her departing figure, Dongxue Tian was quietly sobbing. He had fallen really hard for Hua Tong’er but she left him as soon as she knew he was crippled. He thought about Ye Meng and felt nothing but extreme hatred towards him to the point where he couldn’t exist in the same universe as him. It was because of him that he lost his standing in the clan. It was because of him he that lost all his beloved concubines. It was because of him that Hua Tong’er left him. Dongxue Tian felt he he had aged 1,000 years in a single night. Everything was taken from him in one night. Everything. Some strands of his hair started turning grey and his face looked two decades older. There were visible streaks of grey on his previously pitch black hair and wrinkles began to appear on his face. Dongxue Tian looked like a middle aged man due to the extreme stress he endured. His face was still recognizable and a somber aura radiated out from him. His mind had nothing on it other than revenge against Ye Meng, Hua Tong’er and drinking away his sorrows.
Meanwhile, Ye Meng and Li Xiaoyu were both watching this from a restaurant. Ye Meng never expected that the effects of Dongxue Tian being crippled resulted in this! He had brought Li Xiaoyu when he saw what Dongxue Tian’s current status in his clan was like. She was watching this intently while sipping on some very expensive wine. Lots of accumulated stress and worries were all fading away as she saw this pitiful scene. She remembered all of his family members who’ve died because of him and broke down crying. She cried on Ye Meng’s shoulder and reminisced about her family. Ye Meng was cautiously scanning the surroundings because Li Xiaoyu’s mask was off. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that her beauty could topple entire worlds! If someone saw her beauty, then they were in deep trouble. Half an hour later, Li Xiaoyu’s eyes were red from crying and a vicious glint appeared in those eyes.
She willingly kissed Ye Meng on the cheek and she said with a kind tone along with a flushed face, “Brother Ye, thank you for helping me get revenge. But, this isn't enough.” Her voice became vicious in the end which made shivers crawl down Ye Meng’s spine.
Ye Meng felt delighted when her soft lips gently kissed him and he asked her, “What else can we do then?”
Li Xiaoyu coldly said, “We should make sure to ruin his mother’s life as well. Only a demoness could give birth to such a vile spawn.” Ye Meng shuddered on the inside, her words were just too vicious! He reminded himself to never cross Li Xiaoyu.
Ye Meng nodded and told her to put on the mask. They walked out of the expensive restaurant and headed back home.
Unbeknownst to them when they heard the rumours of Old Man Bai moving to save a guest by crippling Dongxue Tian, every large clan searched for who it was. They didn't want to offend Old Man Bai by accidentally offending his guest. They spent quite a bit of time until one of the alchemists in the Alchemist’s Association described Ye Meng entering the building and the events following it.
They were all shocked when they heard that Ye Meng became a Tier 5 Alchemist at 30 years old. Becoming a Tier 1 Alchemist might take a blessed child of the Heavens from the Four Great Clans or the Royal Family a year. Becoming a Tier 2 Alchemist might take 3 years, becoming a Tier 3 Alchemist might take 8 years, becoming a Tier 4 Alchemist might take 15 years, becoming a Tier 5 Alchemist might take 25 years!
Every single time you want to be a higher level Alchemist, it takes exponentially more time! That's why 3 of the 10 Tier 8 Alchemists are True Soul experts. With more time, the more accomplishments one could get in alchemy.
Although Ye Meng didn't break any records it was still displayed a shocking talent in alchemy. The fastest person to become a Tier 5 Alchemist manages to get it when they were 20! That person later went on to become a legendary Tier 9 Alchemist.
Many Tier 7 Alchemists became Tier 5 Alchemists around 35 and 40 years old so Ye Meng had huge potential! They also heard Old Man Bai say that Ye Meng’s master must be a Tier 7 Alchemist as well. They knew that they had to get into Ye Meng’s good books so the clans searched for Ye Meng’s location. Old Man Bai decided to help them out and straight up told the clans where Ye Meng resided. That led to a large group of people waiting in front of his mansion, surprisingly Old Man Bai was there too.
Ye Meng and Li Xiaoyu held hands to make sure they didn’t get lost in the crowd as they were walking through it. They were both puzzled on why a whole bunch of people were blocking the entrance to their mansion when suddenly a familiar old man spotted them. “Haha! Little Ye sorry for not informing you of all this.” said Old Man Bai as he parted the crowd. “Old Man Bai, could you please explain to me the reason for all of this?” asked Ye Meng.
The whole crowd made sure to pay attention because this surely must be the ‘Young Alchemist Ye’ that Old Man Bai talked about. Old Man Bai explained the situation to Ye Meng who was very annoyed at the current situation. Due to his fame, he would have less opportunities to go undercover and people would pay more attention to them. If someone came in the mansion while Li Xiaoyu’s mask was off or if someone came in while she was training in her beautiful sword technique, it'd be a huge problem. Ye Meng wasn't sure about killing peak Divine Sense experts so he had no other option but to flee. But, he couldn't flee with Li Xiaoyu as she would get in his way. He had to be more careful now or else he would die.
Ye Meng chatted with many of the members from the big clans. He spoke respectfully and humbly towards everyone which made people have a natural liking towards him. He received many gifts such as spirit stones, weapons, and even some beautiful women! Ye Meng felt nothing but disdain for people who actually give women as gifts. Although Ye Meng has lived in this world for over 20 years, he still retained some of his morals from Earth. He gave them back to the gifters and politely refused them.
“Young Alchemist Ye, although you don’t like women please give me a chance.” said a coquettish voice yet slightly familiar in the midst of the crowd. Li Xiaoyu and Ye Meng both looked at the source of the voice with shock. It was the Hua Tong’er that Dongxue Tian was infatuated with! Ye Meng had a sudden flash of viciousness in his eyes, “Daring to force my maid to serve you?! I’ll make the girl you love serve me in front of your very eyes!”
Ye Meng smiled and respectfully said, “I don’t dislike women, rather my standards are too high. Nothing for a lady with your beauty and talent. I’d gladly take you in as my concubine! But, I’d like Lady Tong’er to give me some face and tell the truth on one matter.”
The crowd heard their exchange and thought, “No wonder Young Alchemist Ye rejected all those beauties. None of them could meet Ye Meng’s standards and only the extraordinary Lady Tong’er could!”
They all knew who Hua Tong’er was, she was an adopted daughter of an elder. She was very talented in everything and she was very beautiful. The Crown Prince was rumoured to be courting her but sadly, she was adopted so he couldn’t take her in, even as a concubine! Her birth was very humble, it would ruin the reputation of the Kingdom if he did. Meanwhile, Hua Tong’er was feeling proud that her charms worked on Ye Meng. “Although I’ll have to give my body to him, it’s nothing compared to having the status of the Empress!”
The crowd parted as she seductively walked with her wide hips swaying. Every young man in the crowd swallowed their saliva when they saw that marvelous sight and felt extreme jealousy towards Ye Meng. Ye Meng felt nothing but disdain for Hua Tong’er, “Only a superficial slut would stay with Dongxue Tian!” Ye Meng had to admit that she was indeed seductive even though he’d seen countless seductive women in Ye Qian’s memories. If Li Xiaoyu was a Goddess, then Hua Tong’er would be called a succubus. She had a beautiful face with charming big black eyes, an arched nose, and luscious red lips. Her body figure was better than Li Xiaoyu’s and the way she carried herself was a lot better as well. Her movements were exceedingly graceful and fluid like water.
“Thank you for your compliments Young Master Ye but what question would you like me to answer?” she said with the same tone as before.
“It’s a small matter but it’s rather important to me as a man. Have you ever been touched by another man except for your family members? My pride as a man won’t allow me to have a woman who's been tainted by another man.”
Hua Tong’er merely smiled and she said no while swearing to the Daos. The crowd slowly crept away to give Hua Tong’er and Ye Meng some space. Old Man Bai also left while giving a lecherous grin and a thumbs up to Ye Meng. Li Xiaoyu just waited at the side with a strange painful feeling in her heart, “What’s happening to me? Why am I getting so upset when he talks to other girls…”
To be honest, Ye Meng had better conversations with the talented Hua Tong’er than Li Xiaoyu because she was well versed in many subjects. She was a Tier 3 Alchemist and an early Marrow Cleansing cultivator which was nothing compared to Ye Meng. They walked into the mansion and Ye Meng gave her a large room for her stuff. While they were talking, Hua Tong’er couldn’t help but get curious at the identity of the cold masked girl, “Who is the girl in the mask right next to you? She’s been following us the whole time.”
Ye Meng smiled and he said, “She’s my maidservant, but she also has a higher status than you in my heart simply because of her cultivation talent. Reaching early Divine Sea stage at 25 and being able to fight against mid Divine Sea.”
Hua Tong’er was shocked, she was very smart so she remembered to never offend the masked girl. With the masked girl’s potential, she would become a Divine Sense expert for sure! She humbled herself and asked, “Excuse me, may I have the honor of knowing your name?”
Li Xiaoyu coldly said, “Li Xiaoyu.” while glaring at Ye Meng who was feeling very confused right now. She was grateful to him a couple hours earlier but now she was glaring at him? “Women are too confusing…” thought Ye Meng. Ye Meng and Hua Tong’er chatted and flirted for a couple of hours after Li Xiaoyu went to train in her courtyard. Ye Meng broke off the conversation and went to his room to concoct a certain pill.
Ye Meng was wracking his head because he had to invent his own poison! Poisons are the opposite of pills but they’re extremely hard to make and Ye Meng was making his own poison which made it even harder! He thought of how alchemy worked, you turned the ingredients into power and cooked them at the right temperatures. “Isn't poison just medicine with a large change in the effects? Like the way to cure the Blazing Lava Poison is to use the Frosty Glacier Poison in a pill to counter the effects. Medicines are to heal and poisons are to cause damage and illnesses to someone. So, I should find out how to cure the condition and slightly alter it.” thought Ye Meng with his eyes glowing. Ye Meng recalled millions and millions of herbs while trying to find out the one that had the effect Ye Meng wanted. “Aha! The Unappealing Stink Ginseng might work for this poison! It has the some of the effects I would want in the cure.”
He spend a lot of his mental strength calculating what type of herbs would properly synthesize to form the pill he wanted. He had didn’t have enough ingredients so he went and bought extremely large amounts from Old Man Bai for a couple hundred low grade spirit stones. He experimented hundreds and hundreds of times with the ingredients. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Everytime he failed, he wrote the results in a slip of jade and found out which steps he did wrong. Ye Meng seemed to be getting better at alchemy during this time as well. Before he relied on his memories but now, he can rely on himself to make pills. Eventually, 3 months had passed and Ye Meng was still concocting pills. He was like a madman possessed in his work, he didn’t eat or sleep during the whole 3 months. Li Xiaoyu was very worried about him to the point where she forced him to stop and get some fresh air.
Ye Meng was madly concocting like usual and writing down the results on a jade slip. He was stuck on one step, the poison was a liquid had multiple properties in different places. So, if you drank one portion of the poison, then you might feel high but if you drank another portion you might feel all jittery. “Hwaaah… Earlier I wanted to make this pill for the sake of revenge but now, I want to forge my own path in Alchemy!” thought Ye Meng with a strange glint in his eyes. He was thinking about the various different ways to make sure the liquids all combined “If only poisons had the same form as pills….” thought the sad Ye Meng.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in his head, “How am I so stupid?! Why can’t poisons take the form of pills? What’s preventing it from doing that?!” thought Ye Meng as he facepalmed due to overlooking the obvious. He did the same steps as last time, but this time he froze the liquid into a jade mold of a pill. When the pill was completed, Ye Meng tested it out on a rabbit and it worked! Ye Meng felt pure ecstasy as his hard work finally paid off! They say that you learn from your mistakes and Ye Meng finally experienced it. Alchemy seemed to flow much better in his mind after he concocted the poison pill simply because even though they have the opposite effects, they both have the same roots!
Ye Meng made another version of the pill and finally left his room. Hua Tong’er was very surprised and admired Ye Meng’s iron will. He spent 3 months trying to concoct one pill without doing anything else! “No one has that kind of determination! No wonder he’s so talented at a young age! Hard work is better than talent…” thought Hua Tong’er. Dongxue Tian was just a gold mine in her eyes as he was infatuated with her and he was a genius capable of reaching the Divine Sense stage! But, he was an extremely supercilious and lecherous man which made Hua Tong’er dislike him. She was from a humble birth so every time someone looked down on commoners, she became slightly angry and her opinion of them drastically lowered. “So Young Alchemist Ye has finally came out of secluded concocting!” she said in a joking tone.
Ye Meng didn’t respond or spare a glance at her, he was simply too tired! His cold reply made Hua Tong’er unhappy but who could blame him? He wanted to rest and regain his youthful energy so he went back to his room. When he entered, he saw Li Xiaoyu in the bed with the blanket on top of her. Her sleeping expression was rather cute and didn’t fail to lighten up Ye Meng’s mood. Ye Meng leapt into the bed without waking Li Xiaoyu up and hugged her from the behind. He slept peacefully with her in his arms and had pleasant dreams of positive vibes. A couple of hours later, Li Xiaoyu woke up with something hot poking and prodding at her round butt. She turned around and saw Ye Meng behind her sleeping soundly. She carefully checked to see what was poking at her and when she saw, she turned crimson red at the speed of light!
If you think sex ed is bad in the US, then sex ed is hundreds of times worse in this world. “Mother always said that when guys become s-sexually st-stimulated then they become hard ‘down there’. So he must be stimulated by me?!” thought the red face Li Xiaoyu. She scrambled out of bed and quickly went to her friend Bai Chen’s mansion.
A few maids greeted her as she entered with familiarity because Li Xiaoyu had been here multiple times. She headed straight to Bai Chen’s room with quick steps and flung open the door. Bai Chen was currently refining pills and when saw Li Xiaoyu come in excitedly she stopped. “Xiaoyu, what happened to you to make you so jittery? Did Ye Meng bully you?!”
Li Xiaoyu turned red and whispered the events that took place recently to Bai Chen. The latter’s eyes got wider and wider as the story went on. “Xiaoyu, maybe Ye Meng likes you? You also said that he proclaimed his love for you in his sleep?” said the shocked Bai Chen with an ambiguous smile. Li Xiaoyu turned red at the thought of love and when Bai Chen saw her crimson ears, she decided to tease Li Xiaoyu a bit. “Xiaoyu, do you like him too? Just tell me and I’ll keep it a secret from Ye Meng!”
Li Xiaoyu laughed and weakly punched Bai Chen with a red face, “Sister Bai! What are you saying?”
Bai Chen smirked and she said, “You didn’t deny it! You do like him!”
“I don’t know… He treats me rather well and I don’t do any of the things you normally do as a maid. I certainly don’t dislike him but I’m not sure if I like him.”
Bai Chen aah’d and she questioned Li Xiaoyu, “Sister Xiaoyu, does your heart rate speed up when you see him?”
While the two girls were chatting, Ye Meng had woken up and decided to go outside to drink with Dongxue Han. Ye Meng walked towards the extravagant residence of Dongxue Han and made sure to get some gifts worth millions of silver liangs ready. He saw the guards guarding over his residence and he walked over to them. The guards were very well versed in who not to offend and who they can afford to offend but sadly, they didn’t know of Ye Meng. The guards blocked Ye Meng’s path inside and they coldly said, “Young Master Han is currently cultivating. Please come back later.”
Ye Meng outright knew that it was a bold die so he said, “Tell Dongxue Han that Ye Meng came to visit him.” The guards paled at that name, even if the chance was less than 1%, they still knew that they had to be safe. The appearance and cultivation stage matched of Young Alchemist Ye Meng and the person in front of them so they sent a man to call Dongxue Han out.
A minute later, Dongxue Han came out with his peak Golden Elixir bodyguards surrounding him and a beauty in his arms. “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree huh?” thought Ye Meng. Ye Meng and Dongxue Han greeted each other as the latter shoo’d off everyone but his bodyguards.
“Young Master Han, I’d like to ask you to accompany me to a get some fine drinks.” said Ye Meng while giving Dongxue Han some expensive gifts. Dongxue Han knew he couldn’t decline because the gifts that Ye Meng gave him were extremely expensive! It would result in Ye Meng losing face and one thing that Dongxue Han did not want to do was to offend someone who could be a Tier 7 alchemist! Dongxue Han politely replied with, “Of course! The best place to drink and have fun is always the Pure Wind Pavilion (Best brothel in Kingdom. Girls are beautiful to the point that even Princes would lick their lips with lust when thinking bout em.)”
Ye Meng had an innate dislike for brothels for no particular reason at all so he wasn’t okay with Dongxue Han’s choice but he knew that a lot of these young masters spent time at brothels to he had to adapt. Although Dongxue Han was from the Dongxue Clan, Ye Meng was a lot more restrained than usual because he put himself under huge pressure. He still hated Dongxue Han but since Dongxue Han utterly humiliated Dongxue Tian, Ye Meng’s image of Dongxue Han improved. He also couldn’t reveal his past or strength because it was simply too shocking! If his past and hatred became revealed then it would be very bad for him and Li Xiaoyu.
The Dongxue Clan would know that he was near the area of the Divine Elemental Stone and his cultivation increased by insane speeds so they would forcefully check him. Also people would go mad with envy if they heard that he could kill a Divine Sense stage expert at the age of 30! The youngest Divine Sense expert in the world was only around 60 years old! If Ye Meng’s true strength was revealed then he would be hounded by countless experts hoping to see what methods Ye Meng used to become so strong in so little time.
One priority of Ye Meng’s was to build a good relationship with the young masters because some of them might come to the Divine Sky Academy with him. He didn’t want to offend anyone else that he didn’t have to. The Crown Prince was naturally a lost cause so Ye Meng didn’t put him in his eyes.
They arrived at this building decorated with colorful lights and looked extravagant. Dongxue Han and Ye Meng entered the building and picked the same room after the attendant saw their qualifications. It was a fairly well lit large room that had a fragrant peach blossom smell to it. There was a table and some large beds in the room as well for certain acts… On the table, there was a pamphlet that had life-like paintings of each girl in the pavilion and each girl had a certain price range.
“This brothel is like a restaurant but with woman!” thought Ye Meng with a wry smile. Dongxue Han didn’t even look at the pamphlet and immediately broke two jade slips which sent a signal to call the girls to his room. Ye Meng decided to get option 3 to relieve himself after that continuous 3 months of alchemy experiments. Ye Meng decided to be a bit extravagant and best for two of the best girls ranked #2 and #4 in terms of beauty. The second ranked girl’s option 3 costed 3,000,000 silver liangs (30 low grade spirit stones) and the fourth girl’s option 3 costed 2,000,000 silver liangs (20 low grade spirit stones) which was nothing but a drop in the bucket for Ye Meng. Option 3 was just a massage and touching avaliable but Ye Meng wanted a massage. Dongxue Han’s picked #6 and #10 in terms of beauty because he had a liking towards them.
Dongxue Han had a yearly allowance of 500 low grade spirit stones so he could only go to the Pure Wind Pavilion two or three times a year! The cost was simply too high! Four perfect beauties all arrived at the same time and they all had different figures along with different personalities. Dongxue Han had also picked option 3 and went to a bed adjacent from Ye Meng’s. Ye Meng had brought some very expensive wine for them to enjoy as they relieved themselves.
During the massage, Ye Meng and Dongxue Han both felt like they were on cloud 9. “I never knew that a massage could feel this good.” thought Ye Meng. “No wonder this is reputed to be the best brothel in the capital, even the massages are this good!”
Eventually, the massage ended and Ye Meng felt a lot more flexible than before. Ye Meng was caressing the prostitutes beside him while having a discussion with Dongxue Han. He learned a lot of things like the Divine Sky Academy entrance tournament was in 1 year and 9 months. A couple of hours passed and the discussion finally came once the prostitutes clocked out.
“Dongxue Han, do you hate Dongxue Tian?” asked Ye Meng.
Dongxue Han gritted his teeth and said in a low voice filled with anger, “Yes… I hate that bastard with a passion. He has always bullied me because his talent was only slightly better than mine!”
Ye Meng nodded and said, “I hate Dongxue Tian with a passion as well, he tried to rape my beloved maid or assistant or partner two times before. He also tried to kill us because we got invited to the auction but I had lifesaving treasures from my master so I wouldn’t died anyways. I originally called you here to tell you about a plan to utterly humiliate Dongxue Tian even further.”
Dongxue Han nodded and gave Ye Meng a look of understanding. What kind of man (beside a cuckold) wouldn’t be angry if someone tried to forcefully rape their beloved? “What’s the plan” asked Dongxue Han with a vicious smile on his face.
Ye Meng whispered the plan into Dongxue Han’s ears and the latter’s eyes widened with shock. This type of revenge was far too vicious! “So…. Are we gonna shake on it?” asked Ye Meng with a confident smile. Dongxue Han shook his hand and they discussed their plan.

Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.
