Chapter 395: 395. Wild Past

Each one of Chen Wentian’s disciples was special in her own way. Although there were some similarities between them, everyone was unique and had their own charming qualities. It was difficult to say who was the best though Lin Qingcheng would probably always be his favorite since she was his first.

If he was forced to rank them in terms of beauty, Bei Yingluo would rank last without much consideration, below the twins and Lin Qingcheng. It wasn't an insult to her but that his other disciples were simply too beautiful.

She couldn’t compare to them in terms of looks but they also couldn’t compare to her. Being last didn't mean anything because she was undeniably attractive herself. He could hold devastating beauties and even a divine beast in his arms if he wanted to but none of them made him feel the same way she did.

She treated him like her man, her lover, her lord, and her entire world. She had the inexplicable ability to make him feel wanted, needed. It was just words and actions; he could feel it in her eyes and her body language. Everything reflected her devotion to him.

While some of the others might feel a similar way about him, they didn’t know how to express it so clearly and constantly. Not like her. She was a natural. She was a rare gift.

“Master, do you think I’ll ever be able to control my power?”

At Bei Yingluo’s voice, Chen Wentian turned to her. He was laying beside her on her bed. He was already dressed and the evidence of their prior activities had been cleaned away. He was monitoring the state of her body and waiting for her to fall asleep. But it seemed that certain things were still on her mind.

“Silly girl, of course you will.” He said.

“Mmm, I hope so. I will work twice as hard from now on. I hope my power can be useful to master in the future, that I’ll be able to fight alongside you someday.”

“You will, I promise.” He said firmly, “I was going to tell you after you’ve fully healed but I guess I’ll tell you now. After the battle, I was able to discern some specific traits of your power that will help us track down the truth eventually. Firstly…”

He explained that her power seemingly came from her unique spiritual veins as well as a special source of spiritual energy that was still unknown. When her power activated, her spiritual veins rapidly expanded in size and capacity and allowed a massive surge of spiritual energy to wash over her body, giving her a profound boost in power. After the ordeal, her spiritual veins showed signs of exhaustion but no deal damage. If they were ordinary spiritual veins, they would have been ruined and irreparable.

Compared to her unique spiritual veins, her physical body was ordinary and it also wasn’t trained enough. She wasn’t able to properly accept that burst of spiritual energy during battle and that’s why she was left in a sorry state afterward. He wasn’t completely certain but if she went on to practice physical strengthening cultivation arts, she probably would be able to lessen the physical drawback of her ability by a great deal. His hope was that she would only suffer minor injuries if she trained her body to be resilient enough.

The condition for activating her power was also not that big of a deal now that it had occurred twice under similar conditions. Since the general pattern was now known, it was simply a matter of training her mind. Even if she could only activate her power during that specific condition of desperation while trying to protect her family, there were ways to train her mind to reach that state at will. It wouldn’t be easy but it was doable.

And as for the unknown source of the unbelievable amount of spiritual energy… that was the tricky part.

He had no idea.

There was nothing he could find by examining her body. He wasn't a medical expert and he couldn’t just ask for help from others. The power to cross an entire realm was unheard of and people who were much stronger than him would love to snatch away such an amazing disciple. Even searching for such subjects in the Immortal Association libraries would no doubt draw unwanted attention.

The only option left was to investigate Bei Yingluo’s background and lineage. It was something he had been meaning to for a long time but not found the time for.

“Yingluo, tell me again, are you sure you don’t know who your father is?” He asked for the tenth or twentieth time.

“I’m sorry. I don’t.” She replied, “I’ve asked my mother to try and recall but it was too long ago. She shared a bed with too many men during the time I was conceived. She doesn’t remember those days clearly. As she told me, after thirty or forty, all the faces start to blend together and it’s impossible to keep count.”

Chen Wentian let out a cough to cover his discomfort. Although he had heard the story before, the mere thought of her mother sleeping with so many different men was honestly a little frightening.

"Master, she couldn't help it. It was impossible for her to find a husband, not with the reputation the clan had during that period." Bei Yingluo chided said, "It's always been an accepted custom of our clan to have unwed mothers and children with no fathers. Mother was a little too excessive but the same result is possible even with just one partner."

"Ah..." He rubbed his nose sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been judgemental. You're right."

"An ordinary person wouldn't have been able to say what you just said to me. I find myself admiring you even more than I thought possible. You are honorable and gentle and kind. You are the best master I could have ever hoped for." She said.

Chen Wentian was more than a little embarrassed by her words but he was also pleased. He rewarded her with a kiss on the forehead and snuggled closer to her.

Bei Yingluo continued speaking, going into another one of her stories about the old days before the monster invasion.

The Bei Clan during that time was a moderately sized clan with several hundred members that didn't exceed a thousand. Within Drifting Sand City of the Great Desert Province, they were only a minor actor relegated to insignificant roles. Because of their tradition of having a matriarchal family and clan structure, they were shunned by the other powers in the city as well as the general population.

It was not unusual for the Bei Clan's female members to not have husbands at all. Very few men wanted to live under a woman's rule. Unwanted Bei Clan women had to get pregnant by any means possible and Bei Yingluo’s mother, Bei Rongyin, was one such example. She slept with anyone that was willing and with no strings attached. All it took was mutual attraction and an abundance of spiritual wine to seal the deal. Those hookups often lasted only one night and she usually never saw her partners ever again.

It would be almost impossible to find Bei Yingluo’s father because of Bei Rongyin's wild past. But Chen Wentian was still determined to try. It was the only option. It was the only clue to her power that he could safely uncover.

He gave her a peck on the lips and got up from the bed, "Sleep now. After all of this demon stuff is over, Yingluo, I promise, I’ll take you to Drifting Sand City and we’ll begin the search. And I’ll also help the Bei Clan reestablish roots there. If there are any survivors, they can all join the branch sect."

“Thank you…” She answered softly.

It was only two simple words but he could feel her sincerity and excitement radiating like the bright sun.
