Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!

"Ugh…" In a room filled with silence, a painful groan echoed, followed by the sounds of clothes rustling.

"Where am I? Ugh!" Feeling something heavy pressed on his body, the boy groaned again, this time in annoyance, and pushed the weight off him.

*Thud!*

*Woosh!*

As soon as he pushed the weight off his body, the darkness receded, and light overwhelmed his sight, followed by a sight that shocked him to the core. The 'weight' he had pushed off was none other than Tian Heng.

Tian Heng was knocked out cold, so he did not feel anything. Yuan Ming moved to stand up, but he froze, feeling something under his hand.

His eyes went wide upon turning around. He saw that there was another person under him. It was not a man he knew, and his hands were in questionable places.

"What is going on…" He could not even notice where his hand was when he realized that the man was not the only person under him. He was lying on top of a heap of bodies.

*Thud!*

He gasped for breath in shock before snapping out of his daze. Unconsciously, he moved back to get away from the man and fell to the ground.

Even after falling, he could not move his eyes away from all the people thrown over each other like a heap of garbage.

'You are finally awake.'

"Who is there!" Hearing a bored voice speaking directly in his mind, Yuan Ming jumped back and moved his head to look for the source of the voice.

'No need to scream so loudly; I am in front of you.' Hearing the words, Yuan Ming blinked twice in confusion as he was looking at a wall at that moment.

'What an idiot master have I acknowledged. Sigh~' Hearing the same annoyed voice, something struck Yuan Ming's mind as he lowered his head. There it was, the source of the voice in his head.

There were a bunch of weapons lying in the corner, all of them were more powerful than others. Tier 1 to Tier 4, all of the weapons considered valuable in the Tian Ren Empire were lying there. But under all of those shiny weapons, his eyes caught sight of the weapon that he had been using to get to the point he was now.

'You finally get it, huh?' Following the voice, Yuan Ming walked forward and crouched down.

*Clang!*

Moving the swords as if they were worth nothing, Yuan Ming picked up his rusty sword and raised it in front of his face.

'Is the voice coming from this sword?' Yuan Ming thought in shock, looking at the sword carefully.

'Where else did you think the voice is coming from?' Yuan Ming's grip on the sword got strong in fear.

'You can hear my thoughts?' Hearing his question, the voice replied once more. 'Of course I can, we are under a contract, so your soul is linked to mine.'

Hearing the genderless voice replying to his thoughts scared Yuan Ming and also gave birth to a lot of questions in his mind.

'I am sure you have a lot of questions, but I cannot answer them for now.' As if sensing his thoughts, the voice stopped him before he could even speak.

'Why? Am I not strong enough to know anything?' Yuan Ming looked at his sword and asked in frustration.

'No, it's not that. I haven't spoken to you till now because I was recovering myself, but when I barely got strong enough to speak, you had to go and face those troublesome opponents.' Everything that happened came crashing into his mind.

'That's right, what happened after the fight? Where are we?' He looked around and carefully scanned his surroundings.

The first thing he realized was that they were in a stone cave. There were no sources of light in the room, but everything was clear as day to him. He felt the things he had ignored before; the whole room was like a boiling oven. He was drenched in sweat, and his clothes were clinging to his body.

'Just… what is going on?' Yuan Ming stuttered, unable to comprehend what he was seeing.

'After you all were knocked out cold, that woman brought you here and placed a curse upon you just like everyone here.'

'Curse?'

'A curse so deadly even the strongest mortal in the entire mortal realm would fear it.' Yuan Ming could sense a little shock in the voice in his mind.

'After that woman left, she cursed and saved you from being enslaved by her.'

'Slave?' Yuan Ming gasped in shock as he looked at the people lying in the room. When he looked clearly, he saw two familiar figures on top of the pile.

"Junior sister Song! First Elder!" He shouted and ran towards them. Before he could touch them, the voice in his mind sounded again. 'It's pointless. They won't wake up no matter how hard you try.'

'Can't you save them like you saved me?' Yuan Ming asked in a pleading tone.

'I cannot, as I told you before saving you, I used a lot of powers, and I am barely able to speak.' Yuan Ming clenched his fists in frustration and lowered his head.

'You are not strong enough to save them. Most of these people have already been enslaved and are just waiting to be awakened by the person who controlled them. Besides, I could only save you because we have a link.'

'What is this link you keep talking about? I cannot let anything happen to them. We have to save them and take them out of this place.' Yuan Ming screamed in his mind. The voice in his mind sighed and replied, 'Haven't you noticed it yet? There is not a single person guarding this cell, and your qi is sealed as well.

They are not guarding this place because they have the confidence that no one can leave this place.

When Yuan Ming heard those words, it struck him; he was no different at that moment. He had not felt that powerless since the day he started his journey as a cultivator.

*Bang!*

In his anger, Yuan Ming struck the ground. "Argh!" Since he was no longer as powerful as before, the strike did not leave a scratch on the ground, but instead, he injured himself.

Just when all hope seemed lost to him, Yuan Ming heard the voice giving him the ray of light he needed in the darkness.

'There is a way you can get out of this place and maybe save the rest.'
