After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 141: I Must Still Be Sleeping

“She’s the spirit of the mountains and seas?”

Ye Cike curiously sized up Hu Zhizhi, and the latter also stared at her with wide eyes.

Hu Jiuniang heard the girl’s ethereal voice. Then, the young lady with the bamboo hat removed her veil, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face.

However, her skin was pale, her figure was slender, and she looked soft and weak.

… Although she was a fierce woman when she was jealous, Young Mistress Ye’s appearance indeed looked harmless and delicate.

‘They have the same appearance as the rumored Xuanyin family,’ Hu Jiuniang thought. ‘There are only women in the Xuanyin family. They have beautiful and delicate appearances, and their lifespans are extremely short compared to ordinary cultivators. They are also born with powerful cultivation talents, making them like a flower blooming in the sky.’

It was fleeting, but her beauty was intoxicating.

Many Immortal cultivators had their eyes on this family, and some even had the idea of taking the entire family into their own pockets, but they were eventually dispelled by the ruthless means of this family.

Because of their own uniqueness, in order to ensure their safety, they directly exterminated a few sects when they established their power.

Of course, these sects only had themselves to blame.

In short, from that time on, the Immortal cultivators all knew that this family’s combat power was extraordinarily strong, and basically no other family could compare to it.

However, they hardly left their homes, so their combat power was dispensable to them, which was why they were often ignored when compared.

But now… This rose full of thorns had been picked.

It looked like he was paying for it.

Hu Jiuniang looked at Liu Yuan with a subtle expression, and Liu Yuan responded with a helpless look.

Ye Cike seemed to like Zhizhi very much. She reached out and carefully touched her toot cheeks, and Zhizhi held her finger.

The young girl was stunned for a moment before revealing a gentle smile.

“This child is so cute.”

Ye Cike played with Zhizhi for a while before turning to Liu Yuan, “Why are you making her evolve? Isn’t she good like this?”

Or did he actually have ulterior motives toward such a young child?

The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family could not help but open her eyes wide. She found that this possibility was actually acceptable to her, and she even felt that there was a very high chance of it happening.

Something must be broken somewhere!

“The spirits of the mountains and seas can give birth to the Mountain Sea Realm,” Liu Yuan continued, “and when it’s used to trap people within it, it will cause their cultivation to drop by a major stage.”

Ye Cike reacted in an instant. She was stunned for a moment before she said, “You were planning to use it against me and Shen Sifan?”

“Yeah,” Liu Yuan admitted frankly and reached out to touch the girl’s head. His expression was gentle. “if you really want to trap me together, then I have no choice but to use this strategy. If we have the same level of combat strength, you should have seen the battle between me and Li Jiutong that day. With Lanruo, we should be more than enough to deal with the two of you.”

Ye Cike suddenly felt that he and Shen Sifan had underestimated Liu Yuan. If that were the case, the two of them would not be able to gain an advantage.

But why did he feel so proud?

The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family felt both fear and excitement. If that were the case, what would happen after Junxuan counterattacked?

The young girl restrained her emotions and coughed twice, pretending to be calm as she snorted, “W-why are you telling me this now? I’ve already decided to stay with you…”

Heh, young lady, your progress bar has exposed your thoughts!

“Let’s go back first and let Lanruo make the arrangements,” Liu Yuan said. “She has to go to the venue of the conference later and has no time to care about this.”

Hu Jiuniang also knew that the matter at hand was more important, but she still could not help but worry, “Zhizhi won’t grow up to look like a Mountain God, will she?”

Mountain God? The most common ones were probably the human body with the head of a beast, or the human body with the tail of a snake. Either way, they did not look like humans, or at least they weren’t cute.

Liu Yuan scoffed. “The spirits of the mountains and seas are still different from the Mountain Gods. No matter what, the little fire dragon will not evolve into a violent carp dragon. They are not the same species.”

Hu Jiuniang was taken aback. “Although I understand the logic, what are the little fire dragon and the violent carp dragon?”

Liu Yuan coughed twice. “I’m just saying. It’s a remote place called Zhenxin Town. Two types of spirit beasts are the specialty of this town.”

Hu Jiuniang nodded. “It will be good if she doesn’t become like that. Even if she does become like that, it’s fine. But I still don’t want Zhizhi to become less cute.”

Ye Cike could not help nodding.

“Alright, I’ll take Zhizhi away first.”

“Zhizhi!” Liu Yuan picked up Zhizhi and said, “Will Zhizhi turn into spirit form?”

The last time Zhizhi appeared behind Hu Jiuniang, it was obvious that she had entered a spirit form. Otherwise, she would have been discovered long ago in this physical state.

There was no need for such an exciting day…

Hu Zhizhi blinked her eyes and said, “Spirit… Zhizhi…”

The child turned into a white light and circled around Liu Yuan. Under Ye Cike’s curious gaze, it stopped on Liu Yuan’s palm for a while before gradually disappearing into the air.

This was Zhizhi’s true form.

The spirits of the mountains and seas did not have a fixed form.

When Liu Yuan brought Ye Cike out, a few people happened to be coming down the stairs.

Even in the Sword Singing competition, many people did not want to waste their time. Some of them only watched the next few rounds of high-level swordsmithing competitions. The rest of the time, they chose to continue cultivating and accumulating momentum before the Sword Singing competition began.

Yan Guanlin was one of them.

His cultivation level was close to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. If he encountered a strong opponent during the Singing Sword contest, he could use this opportunity to break through to the Core Formation stage. Thus, he had chosen to train himself these few days.

It was a rare experience to be able to calm down in such an impetuous environment.

This realization made him feel that if he were to turn extreme stillness into extreme movement during the Singing Sword contest, he would be able to comprehend his own Dao path and amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.

If he could create a sword technique that belonged to him, it would be even more wonderful.

Yan Guanlin was halfway up the stairs when he suddenly felt uncomfortable. It was like the last time when he saw Jiang Feng on the stairs…

He raised his head… and lo and behold, he saw Jiang Feng.

“…???”

Yan Guanlin was dumbfounded. He blinked his eyes and looked at Jiang Feng, who seemed to have another girl beside him.

He… He didn’t sense it wrong?

Wasn’t Jiang Feng a sixth level Foundation Establishment cultivator just a few days ago?

Why did he suddenly become a ninth level Foundation Establishemnt cultivator today? No, that’s not right. This aura was that of a perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Yan Guanlin looked at Liu Yuan’s back in a daze. After a while, he suddenly turned around and walked back.

“I must still be sleeping. I’m not calm enough. I can’t believe I sensed his cultivation level wrongly. I have to continue to cultivate.”
