Tang Bufan's Lucky Break

Tang Bufan rose slowly when he had heard that the Devil Goddess was here to help him but he was still trembling with great fear. 

 The Golden Mask Devil Goddess chuckled softly, "It seems that you have offended Qin Keqin. She is the one that has been troubling you lately."

 Tang Bufan nodded.

He had his suspicious that it was Qin Keqin that was causing the mysterious happening. Now that the Golden Mask Devil Goddess had said it, his suspicious was confirmed. But Qin Keqin was only a fifth realm expert, it was quite impossible for her to overcome Tang Bo and so many guards without meeting any resistance.

 The Devil Goddess seemed to be able to read Tang Bufan's thought as she smiled, "Qin Keqin alone of course won't be able to do it. But her sister will be able to do it."

 Tang Bufan stammered, "Her sister? She has a sister?"

 The Devil Goddess nodded, "That's right. Her sister. Her sister is a vixen fairy, a powerful fox vixen that can mesmerize the hearts of men. I am afraid that you will be in serious trouble in the future. Not even the Heavens Ridge Villa is a safe place for you against this vixen fairy."

 Tang Bufan was bewildered, "Vixen fairy?! What is that?"

 The Devil Goddess explained, "It is a sentient spirit entity of the nine tailed fox desolate beast. Can you stop a spirit at your present cultivation level?"

 He was speechless. 

How could anyone be able to hurt a spirit if this was real? 

 "I know what you are thinking. However this vixen fairy of hers is different. It is also a powerful sixth realm cultivator. Therefore it will take you a long time to even have a chance to detect her presence and to defeat her. By then it will be too late."

 Tang Bufan was startled.

He had never heard that a sentient spiritual entity would be able to cultivate. He stammered, "Then what should I do?"

The Devil Goddess said, "If you did not have such a handsome face, I would not even be bothered to help you tonight. I can only help you this once but not forever. Unless of course, you are willing to receive the Mark of the Devil Goddess. With my mark, the vixen fairy will not dare to even come close to you."

 Then she chuckled, "And of course, I can even restore your ruined cultivation and even increase your cultivation realm at the same time."

Tang Bufan was greatly startled; he had thought that he was a cripple cultivator now and he had given up all hope. 

Right now, he was willing to do anything to restore his cultivation core. 

Tang Bufan was also thinking: She was attracted to my good looks? Maybe I could even make full use of it.

He quickly said, "I'm willing to receive your mark. You can really restore my cultivation core?"

 The Devil Goddess chuckled softly, "Oh? Just a moment ago, you are saying that this is the orthodox celestial territory and that I shouldn't be here?"

 Tang Bufan quickly said, "Please pardon my foolhardy act. I was stupid just now. You have just saved my life and I ought to repay you with the sincerity of my heart."

 The Devil Goddess nodded, "Now that is truly delighting to hear. However, I am not anyone's servant. Why should I help you at all?"

 Tang Bufan was startled, "This…I thought…"

 The Devil Goddess chuckled, "I merely say that my mark is helpful to you if you are willing to receive it. I never say, I really want to let you have it. Also, I can restore your ability to cultivate but why should a saintess like myself help you?" 

 Tang Bufan was stupefied as he stammered, "But I thought... I thought..." 

 The Devil Goddess interrupted him coldly, "There are no free lunches in the world. I can consider giving you my mark for your protection but that will cost you ten high grade spirit stones."

 Ten high grade spirit stones were like 10mil silvers. It was an astronomical amount of money to Tang Bufan.

 But Tang Bufan swallowed his saliva and said, "I…I am willing to pay…"

 The Devil Goddess said, "Oh? Lucky you are willing to accept the terms so readily or else it won't be this little amount the next time."

Then she smiled, "As for repairing your cultivation core, that will be 100 high grade spirit stones." 

Tang Bufan was shocked, "But I don't have so much."

The Devil Goddess chuckled, "You can owe me first."

Then she took out a cultivation slip and said to him, "This is a miracle cultivation profound art and it is called the Great Heavenly Dao Divine Art. You will not only restore your cultivation core immediately but you will even be more powerful than ever after a single night."

Tang Bufan was shocked and was looking with great disbelief, "So fast? How is it possible? And this is a miracle profound art too?"

A miracle profound art was the most powerful of all the cultivation profound arts. 

Cultivation profound arts are graded into mortal-step, mystic-step, earth-step, heaven-step, supreme-step, divine-step and miracle-step. 

Most cultivation profound arts were only at the mystic-step and it already cost dearly. As for earth-step and above, it was extremely rare to find. 

The Devil Goddess smiled, "You are quite lucky that I found you handsome. This, of course isn't free. You have to be my core protege first." 

Tang Bufan immediately fell to his knees and banged his head onto the ground, "My respects to protege mistress!" 

 The Devil Goddess nodded approvingly, "Very good then. Then I shall take you as my core protege. Since you are now my core protege now, I shall naturally help you to deal with Qin Keqin as well." 

Tang Bufan began to smile bitterly but he was already thinking, "I will make sure that the Devil Goddess will fall into my hands one day. Then all my losses will then be recouped. But for now, I've to pretend to be servitude to her first..."

But he was also looking with great delight; it was because he was finally able to repair his cultivation core now. 

He prayed that this Great Heavenly Dao Divine Art would work.
