Chapter 374: Dongfang Xiang's Surprise
As the laughter of this peculiar old man continues to ring through the vicinity of the airless void, these two people, both old men powerful beyond compare when compared to the cultivation of the rest of the Eastern continent, continues to play their inconsequential little game of go, as if the two of them are just waiting for a specific event that will not happen for quite some time.
----------
Meanwhile, at the same time as these two playing their little game, another pair of two, these time beauties that makes it seem that anyone around them pale in comparison, travels towards a specific direction ridded with a massive mountain range, along their way to their still unfamiliar destination meeting a lot of young geniuses with the goal of reaching the place they are searching for as well, allowing them to travel even faster as they just need to ask for direction to anyone they met along their way and they will most likely point it to them.
"Auntie Xiang, what's the matter?" one of them, a younger beauty that seems to resemble the one travelling with her quite a bit, asked as she saw the mature beauty, her guardian as well as aunt's face seemingly finding something interesting as she looks towards the skies, as if she is seeing something that the younger beauty cannot.
Looking into the atmosphere that seems to be distorted by some sort of wave travelling upwards, the mature beauty couldn't help but feel even her in all her power will fail in receiving something like that without a scratch, making her wonder all the more just what manner of happening or being is able to create such terrifying wave of energy.
'Is that… temporal rules?' despite being really far away from them, the mature beauty detected some trace of the nature of this wave travelling higher and higher into the air and seemingly not stopping, at the very least until it reaches the lower orbit of this planet.
As she detects a trace of an esoteric power from that attack or whatever it is, she couldn't help but shiver at the thought that on the off chance that this is really an attack, this means that within this little planet that couldn't even nourish Celestial Level beings properly, there are at least two monstrous genius roaming around, and that is just in this continent, one of the genius on this list she is thinking about being the immortal-like young man that her and this niece of hers met from a while ago.
"Nothing, little Jing, I just found something quite interesting over there" as she leaves her imagination to itself, she returns her attention to the young beauty and her question, making sure not to tell this niece of hers as she is afraid that the young beauty might really take a hit on her confidence this time should she come to know of this.
Seeing her aunt's reply along with the unfettered and carefree smile on her face, the younger beauty, Dongfang Jing, believes that there is really nothing too serious to be bothered about when her aunt acts like that, causing her to just go ahead and continue treading across the road with the mature beauty walking behind her.
"Okay, just know that even if I am weaker than you are, I am still a reliable person to tell problem too you know?" Dongfang Jing then said with a hint of annoyance on her face, her current expression causing the mature beauty, Dongfang Xiang, to giggle at her antique as she moves closer and hugs her before lifting her up.
"Aunty!! I'm not a kid!!" the younger beauty proclaims as she struggles to get out of the mature beauty's grasp, but how can she? After all, the gap between her current cultivation and a Half-step Celestial on the verge of breaking through the next level is an extremely large gap, and just from her common sense along, she knows that no one of her cultivation level is capable of being on equal terms with a Half-step Celestial Realm expert, even if it is just one attack.
Meanwhile, her aunt also no longer thinks about what she previously saw as she knows that these geniuses are a rare occasion and she doubt that there are people more absurd than those two, the immortal-like young man and whoever it is that manages to manipulate temporal rules despite just being a Half-step Celestial Realm cultivator.
Should she know of the fact that these two people that she thinks are two different ones are actually one and the same, how would she even react.
----------
"Hurry Tian, the first trial is about to start within just an hour from now!!" on a bedroom somewhere, a slightly disheveled, empress-like beauty with bed hair still apparent on her head reminds as she pushes an immortal-like young man towards a bathroom just on the side of the bedroom, causing the young man to feel quite a bit confused as he just starts to wake up himself, with his night clothes still a bit of a mess given how many ladies are sleeping right beside him, clinging on him but mostly on his clothes.
As the empress-like beauty pushes him to the cold bath that she prepares in order to easily snap him into awareness, the young man opens his eyes wide, still being quite surprised by the cold touch of the morning water on his still dressed body despite the fact that he is already a Nascent Source Realm cultivator with high tolerance to extreme conditions.
With his awareness completely returning to him, Su Xiaotian then starts to recognize the lady that is currently helping him prepare himself, the sloppy, amateurish movements making him painfully aware that it is neither his mother or his half-sister, and the unladylike grunts here and there along with the thick smell of booze that he breathes in every time that the soft body of its owner rubs on his face making it completely known to him who it is that is sharing the bath with him now.
Which makes him all the more surprised given that the situation happening right now is something that is usually reversed, with this empress-like beauty being the dead drunk one he's helping to recover due to her hangover. With him helping her through all sorts of task in the bathroom just to get her dressed properly.
"Big Sis…" after looking at her blushing face struggling to take off her eyes on him as she starts removing his clothes, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but think that she looks extremely adorable right now, the side of her that is often in the hiding now appearing once again and showing herself with just him around.
"S-stop messing around, mother-in-law asks me to prepare you since I'm the last that woke up, and all of them are already in the living room waiting for you…" the empress-like beauty, Hua Xian'er, replies as she pushes him down, accidentally ripping his clothes from the force and making her all the more panicked as she looks at his divine figure.
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing her current stupefied expression, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but start laughing as at her.
