《Shi Jing》 Part 1 1. Who am I? Where is this? Where''s my bed? My giant and cuddly Totoro? My laptop? My house? Help me, mummy! 2. There''s no one here! Why does this big, old fashioned house only has one person, me? Yet there''s not even a speck of dust! I''ve tested with my fingers, swiping the window frames and inside drawers! Is the owner of this body so hardworking? With severe OCD?If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. The most shocking thing is that this big house is built above a gigantic mountain, surrounded by similar-sized mountains! I could only tremble in fear at the thought of how high this place is with white clouds floating around the mountains. What sorcery is this?! 3. There''s a never-ending well behind the house with the best water I''ve ever tasted! But no matter how much I ransacked the place, there''s no food to be found. The kitchen is strangely too clean, not even a drop of old oil stain! I did have the thought of going down the mountain, but my fear eventually chains me down. I''m too afraid of traveling down the unknown mountain alone. My mind endlessly supplies horror scenarios of what I could encounter down the mountain and die horribly. Strangely, my body does not feel tired, but my mind keeps on telling me that I need to eat. I thought I''m going to starve mentally until a human suddenly appears at the entrance, greeting me politely with a great bow. There''s a human! Hallelujah! 4. This cute boy told me I''m the peak master of this mountain. I''m living in a cultivation world with high status, looking highly upon by others. My age consists of three digits but my new body still looks like I''m in my early twenties. My name is Shi Jing. That is all I''m able to squeeze... ask the nice boy before he ran away. Is my kabedon technique that bad? I made sure I''m smiling in a very friendly manner though¡­ Part 2 5. I decided to pretend to be ''Shi Jing'', not that I have any choice. To do so, I have to learn everything about ''Shi Jing''. It is done with the help of some cute disciples that would drop by my mountain once a week with rare herbs. ''Shi Jing'' is a lofty person, standing above all, except for the Big Boss of this sect. ''Shi Jing'' has no students and spends her days making legendary pills and watering plants behind the mountain. ''Shi Jing'' does not talk much, acting just like a human air conditioner. Most importantly! ''Shi Jing'' is a great beauty! A great beauty! But fortunately single! It would be extremely weird if I suddenly acquired a cheap boyfriend.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. What if he''s ugly?! 6. This is bad. My disguise is discovered! ...Oh, it turns out I had worried too much. This nice auntie is inviting me to a banquet held for her daughter''s wedding. After that, she lightly chastised me for not stepping out of my house for a year. I, the fake ''Shi Jing'', had only occupied this body for a month! ''Shi Jing'' is the hermit you should scold! Not that I''m any better. Even if my excuse for being afraid of socializing is justifiable. I''m already tired of eating bland vegetables to shut up my habit of eating food daily. I will need to bribe a passing by disciples to buy some soy sauce for me later. The first image that pops up in my mind that relates to the banquet is... meat! I want meat! Let''s go! 7. After stalking a few disciples secretly, I''ve finally learned how to use a flying sword and arrive at the banquet safely. I could sense many pairs of eyes on me as soon as I stepped into the hall with the banquet already starting. Am I that popular? Or is it my way of walking is too stimulating or my face is too captivating? My plans to be a wallflower that lingers at the food section failed before it even started. Why are they all so eager to speak to me?! I act like a high and mighty CEO, giving a curt nod at every greeting I''ve received. That is the only thing I could do without exposing that I do not know who they are! Go! Go away! Don''t you see my unfriendly face? I happened to hear someone say to their friend after greeting me. "Peak Master Shi is friendlier now." ...Seriously? Just how much of an iceberg was ''Shi Jing''? Part 3 8. I finally met my new big boss, Sect Master Hei. Just for him, I grace him more than a nod and greet him by his title. He looks friendly. A handsome uncle with a tidy beard. He keeps on asking me if I''m doing well, if I have enough food and materials. Since he had nicely asked me, it would be rude of me to not accept his generosity. But I also hope that the food he delivers would consist of more varieties other than vegetables. But my ''yes, sir'' attitude started another wave of rumor about me. "Peak Master Shi must have been bullied by the materials department!" The old man that is in charge of the distribution of the materials suddenly shrunk his back, as if sensing hostile gazes directed at him. ... Erm, have I accidentally thrown someone into a pit? 9.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Fortunately, this cultivation world does not require cultivators to abstain from human food if they do not wish to. Freedom of choices! The round table is quickly filled up with different dishes and my eyes immediately stray to the meat dishes. No matter how pretty the vegetable dishes are presented, I''ve sworn not to touch any vegetables for tonight''s feast! I carefully maintain my icy expression as I grip tightly onto my chopsticks, already in the right pose to start the first round of food war. As soon as Big Boss starts moving his chopstick, it''s the signal to start eating! Fortunately, the other cultivators that shared the table with me have no interest in the food, only interested in gossiping! Itadakimasu! Wow, such a big juicy roasted duck! My favorite! My roasted duck, how can you be so delicious? I can feel tears gathering in my eyes when its taste spread all over my mouth! I will not waste your sacrifice and eat you well and thoroughly! It is good that everyone is kind and understanding to not touch my roasted duck when they see my chopstick keeps on returning for the roasted duck. In return, I will leave the vegetable dishes for you all! 10. "Peak Master Shi, our sect had recently accepted a new batch of disciples. One of them has a great talent that would suit your path of cultivation well. How about you take a look and see if he has the fate to be your disciple?" Big Boss asked. If he is a noisy auntie like mine back in my hometown, I would have assumed he is trying to introduce a young man to be my boyfriend. But he is my boss that works hard to swallow talented youth into his company and hopes for me to pass down my knowledge to the new blood. Directly throwing a big project at me, worthy of being a Big Boss indeed. But Big Boss, I fear I would ruin your young talent if you ask me to teach. Not even your ''make me proud'' smile will change my mind. Yoga is the only sport that I know how to teach! Part 4 11. "I have high standards." I sound like an important CEO with little time to waste on trifling matters. "It''s good to have high standards." Big Boss praise like a proud uncle. But he waves at someone from the crowd to approach their table, either choosing to ignore my indirect rejection or just being dense. I truly believe it is the former! The big boss had prepared this meeting and hoped to force me right on the spot! A youthful-looking man with impressive arm muscles cups his hands as a greeting, his bright eyes stare at me in an expectant manner. I return it with an icy gaze, wishing to pressure him to kill his ambitions by his own choice. But alas, this young boy is as brave as his beefy muscles. "This disciple greets Sect Master Hei and Peak Master Shi!"Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. This student, your loud, clear voice will make you the favorite candidate for the roll call representative. 12. "What do you think of him? He has five spirit veins, a rare talent." The big boss did not slack a tiny bit in promoting the muscular seedling. But I don''t want any disciple! I''m the fake ''Shi Jing''! I don''t know anything about cultivation! It looks like I really need to wash my hands in a gold basin and leave the sect! But first, I need to deal with this young man that aims to hug my golden thigh. My thigh is cheap and cannot be hugged for smooth sailing promotion! 13. "I have high standards." "Yes, you have said that before and we all understand." The nice auntie nods understandingly. "This young disciple is highly qualified with a bright future ahead and will not disappoint your expectation." "Not his face." "...Pardon?" "His face is not up to my standard." When the entire place went silent, only then I knew that everyone was eavesdropping! How shameless! Don''t you feel guilty for doing so? Mind your own business! 14. Since that banquet incident, everyone in the sect knew that Peak Master Shi will only choose a disciple that looks better than her. It is a truly high standard! Even a disciple with five spirit veins is not as rare as Shi Jing''s beauty! I know that ''Shi Jing'' has a very beautiful face thanks to a mirror in my bedroom. That''s why I dared to use Shi Jing''s face as the acceptance line. Hah! Who dares to look better than ''Shi Jing''? Part 5 15. I celebrated way too early. Fuck it! The Big Boss had been very eager to search a disciple for ''Shi Jing''. More eager than my mother that hunted down all eligible men in my hometown to play matchmaker for me! I thought that I had run away from that horror, only to step into a similar trap! Why isn''t Shi Jing''s auto icy face working to scare off the Big Boss?!Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more. Big Boss, you would not get any reward for giving me a disciple! Stop being so dedicated to your job! 16. There is a very handsome man standing before me, with Big Boss smiling brightly beside him. Mhm, this is a high-grade handsome man. Great body too. Where did Big Boss manage to find this guy? A brothel? Or a rich family that is missing their handsome son? What did the Big Boss promise him just to get him here? Anyway, I''m not stingy to praise Big Boss for having great eyesight and taste. But I still don''t want a disciple! 17. Employees really have no right to decide before the Big Boss. I do not wish to test if I would receive a dismissal letter and get kicked out of the company without rainy days preparation done in advance! Therefore, I now have a very good looking man as my new disciple. His name is Yong Ker An. Age, 23. Single. ...He might be dangerous to my self-control. Part 6 18. To avoid poking a big hole in my disguise, I decided to adopt a distant personality. To avoid being tempted by the delicious eye candy, I decided to be heartless. Yong Ker An will be watering the plants, collecting the herbs, and be a farmer under the great sun. During my mealtimes, he must catch some duck and cook it for me. I will grade him according to taste and presentation. What cultivation lesson? Go look for the library! That''s what I did during my school days!Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. 19. This Yong Ker An is quite a sensible guy. He did everything I told him without any complaint. Not even a single frown. I had thought he''s the type that grows up being pampered, with his good looks. People tend to favor good looking people. Maybe he cries alone in his room? I would feel bad if he cried to sleep... No, I must make him leave the peak by himself! But am I being too cruel if I did not at least help him out a bit? He is in his prime, after all. What if I ruin his future and get struck by lightning for harming this good man? 20. The moment Yong Ker An realized what books I had thrown at him, his handsome face forms a sweet smile. Dang, my maiden heart just skips a beat! He thanked me as if I had bestowed him a great treasure and excitedly went to read the books. They are only some random books about pill refining from Shi Jing''s personal library. When I first saw them, I was indeed curious and tested it out. But Shi Jing''s body is a cheat where it automatically helps me. So I just let the body move by itself whenever I refine a pill. Whoosh! Just like that, one high-grade pill is done! Money, here I come! Part 7 21. I''m a bit embarrassed when the Big Boss praises me for being a good teacher. Yong Ker An''s cultivation had risen a rank in just two months of his stay at my mountain. But...Does Big Boss want to receive teaching tips from me? "Yong Ker An is a hardworking student." Look at my humble face! The Big Boss does not believe me and thinks I''m being secretive. Yet he is a good boss and graciously allows me to keep some secrets. Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. 22. Yong Ker An is just like a protagonist in a novel. His cultivation speed is quicker than average people. His ability to understand the books I''ve given him is amazingly in-depth. His understanding would make one wrongly assume he''s the author! He even managed to tame a phoenix to be his pet in a secret realm, inviting envy from other disciples. Oh no, Big Boss. Please stop looking at me with those meaningful eyes! You make me feel like I''m scum! The type that showers some attention on my little lover once in a while but mainly has a distant attitude because I don''t love him! The type that only lust for his body! 23. Big Boss tries hard to push another good looking boy to me. By why do they get younger and younger? "It''s enough for me to have one disciple." The Big Boss stares at me as if I had sacrificed myself for the world. "You are such a good teacher, Peak Master Shi. I will not force you anymore." ...Big Boss misunderstood something, right? But it is a good thing for me. Hey, Yong Ker An, why are you looking at me as if I''ve dedicated my life to you? Part 8 24. Is it possible for one to die from massive pampering? I will be the first one to do so. Yong Ker An suddenly becomes more attentive, like an attentive servant waiting on his master, eager to show his worth. His service is even better than the five-star hotel I''ve visited and won my picky heart. Hmm, did he want to ask me a favor? If it is a small matter that I can do, I don''t mind fulfilling it.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. 25. Fuck what favor! This single and virgin man dared to hit on me, his teacher! My clothes are unattractive, not even showing my long legs and big chest! You face con! Don''t you feel you have sinned, young man?! In a fit of anger, I''ve thrown him to the punishment hall. Unless he repents, he will not be allowed to step out! He will definitely wake up after this! 26. Fuck! Why is everyone looking at me as if I''m a heartless seducer?! Should they not look that way at Yong Ker An instead?! He dared to lust after me! I know this face of mine could bring the downfall of a country, but as a cultivator, he should not have such immoral desires! What''s so exciting about crushing your older-than-your-grandmother teacher?! And what''s with the good treatment Yong Ker An receives inside the punishment hall? Is he there to have a holiday or facing punishment? Are you all not afraid of me getting angry?! Part 9 27. It seems that the whole sect had become Yong Ker An''s private PR team! Everyone never fails to praise every good deed my disciple had done whenever they ''coincidentally'' pass by my mountain! With their non-stop marketing speech, their similar words are like sutras, repeating again and again in my mind! Then the Big Boss decides to impart some wise advice to me. "Peak Master Shi, do not punish Yong Ker An for not being able to control his heart. You could have traumatized his sincere heart and cause a heart demon to grow in him." "Yong Ker An is good looking, a notable cultivator, and a decent personality. There''s nothing in him that I could pick fault in," the nice auntie added her two cents in. I gave them a frosty look that is not an act for the first time. "Then you can have him." 28. Who knows that my single sentence will bring forth great changes in the sect.If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. The biggest change is Yong Ker An. He breaks out of the punishment hall and appears before me. How could it be so easy for him to break out of a heavily guarded place? Do you think I can''t smell bribery?! "Teacher." I swear I could imagine a large black cloud on top of his head! But I stood by my principles and gave him my specialty, icy glare. He suddenly went down to his knees and aimed his earnest eyes at me. "Teacher, this disciple could only love you in my entire life. I wish to stay by your side as long as time allows me. Please consider me!" After living together for more than 50 years, how could I not be soft-hearted towards Yong Ker An? I could no longer scold him for limiting his choices, not seeing enough of the world, and being too young. I have read too many stories about student and teacher relationships, with one of the pairs usually underage. However, for Yong Ker An... his age could already be a grandfather in my original world! ...But he will be on probation! 29. Just like the nice auntie said, it is almost hard to pick flaws from Yong Ker An. He learned to cook well for me, even working hard to learn different recipes so that I won''t get bored eating the same dishes. He is obedient, and listens to every instruction I give him. He did all the chores and I only need to use my cheat to make pills to gain income. It is an easy, peaceful life. But there''s something missing. My lonely heart wavers. 30. I do not know who gave him dating tips. He learned how to please me by giving me beautiful flowers every morning to look and smell at. I notice that other than the usual warm and delicious meals, there would be sweet desserts for me, brightening my mood. He also makes time to have conversations with me and is surprisingly a good listener. My slowly ensnared heart gave in. Part 10 [END] 31. Yong Ker An did not waste time to announce to the whole sect that we are now a couple. The congratulatory notes and gifts made me think they had misunderstood we were getting married! After one week of passed probation and five years of dating, I finally accepted his marriage proposal. The gifts I receive are even more lavish! ...Hmm, this sect truly is rich and generous. 32. I never know that Yong Ker An could be so clingy, especially during night time. And I''m truly impressed by Shi Jing''s body. Even after he tossed me back and forth for several rounds, my body will fully recover the next day.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Cultivators are a bunch of energetic and healthy people! Unsurprisingly, after a month of being married, my oven is occupied. The whole sect once again showers me with gifts. Will they give me another round of gifts after the child is born? As for my husband, I never know he could be this protective, not even allowing me to lift anything. ...I''m not even allowed to make pills. Hey, we need to prepare milk money for our child! 33. I would always think there is only one bun in my oven, if not for one day Yong Ker An sensed two small presence inside. Oh, I had not detected the smaller bun! Everyone is even happier than me when the news of me having twins spread out. Not only are children rare among cultivators, but it is also especially rare to have twins. Especially a pair of dragon and phoenix that I heard in the form of great praise after I finally gave birth to them... easily. Cultivators have good pain tolerance, useful when the buns exit my oven. My great stamina is also useful to push the buns out when they want to take their own sweet time to enter the world. The boy is Yong Ker Xiang, a larger size than his sister. The girl is Yong Ker Ling, the smaller bun that I nearly missed if not for her father''s sharp senses. They are tiny, cute, and love to cry. But I immediately fell in love with them, just as their father immediately adores them. ...Even if my husband gets jealous when I shower more affection towards my children than towards him. 34. The babies are growing up well and healthy. Our family of four is happy and filled with a joyous atmosphere. I pray that we will have smooth sailing days ahead. ??THE END ??
