Chapter 8:
Chapter 8: Senior Brother Su Chen, Let’s Make Up!:
Early morning.
Inside the courtyard.
As the Holy Son of the Holy Land, Su Chen didn’t bother with any of the Holy Land’s affairs. He hadn’t even attended the Holy Lord’s personal lectures.
Today, as usual, he was lounging comfortably on his rocking chair.
He couldn’t help but think—if only his adorable junior sister, Ye Qingxue, were here to feed him grapes, that would make this moment even better.
It seemed like it was about time to visit her.
Just then, the system’s voice echoed in Su Chen’s ears.
[Ding-dong!]
[Congratulations, host, for altering the plot.]
[Ignoring Liu Ruyan and accumulating ‘slacking days.’]
[Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Azure Emperor Sword!]
[Azure Emperor Sword: An ancient divine weapon, incomparably sharp, capable of cutting through the sun, moon, and stars!]
Su Chen remained stretched out on his chair, listening to the system’s announcement. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
This Azure Emperor Sword sounded quite impressive.
But more importantly—slacking off was truly amazing!
Who cared about Heaven’s Chosen or the so-called Child of Fate?
Nothing compared to lying back and relaxing!
As long as he slacked off hard enough, the entire world would be in his hands sooner or later.
Heh…
Standing up, Su Chen stretched lazily.
“This Azure Emperor Sword… might as well test its power.”
With a thought, a long azure-colored sword appeared in his grasp.
Intricately carved dragons coiled around the blade, making it an exquisite masterpiece.
A terrifying sword aura radiated from it, chilling to the bone. Even a mere wisp of its intent could split mountains and seas.
“Good sword!”
Su Chen couldn’t help but admire it.
The next moment—
With a casual flick of his wrist, a streak of azure sword energy shot out from the blade’s tip.
“BOOM!”
A small mountain in the distance split cleanly in two.
And this was with him holding back.
“Hiss!”
Su Chen took a sharp breath.
“This Azure Emperor Sword… is insane.”
“Just a single slash of sword energy has such terrifying power!”
“If I went all out, wouldn’t that be an absolute massacre?”
His heart stirred with excitement.
His strength had skyrocketed once again.
Over the past few days, he had completely ignored the actions of Cai Kun, the so-called Heaven’s Chosen.
Without external pressure, Cai Kun was probably going crazy right now.
According to the original plot—
After Liu Ruyan sought out Su Chen last time, she had requested a breakthrough pill, which the original Su Chen had given her.
Later, when the original Su Chen found out she had given it to Cai Kun, he had been furious.
Enraged, he had stormed into the outer disciple area to teach Cai Kun a lesson.
Cai Kun, of course, used his moral high ground to manipulate the situation, proposing a “three-move duel” under equal cultivation levels.
Underestimating him, the original Su Chen agreed.
But with his ring grandpa’s help, Cai Kun broke through on the spot and instantly counterattacked, defeating the original Su Chen and causing him to lose his reputation in the Holy Land.
Looking at the two halves of the mountain before him, Su Chen felt his blood boil.
“This is how a true powerhouse should live!”
“Heaven’s Chosen? Child of Fate?”
“Before me, Su Chen, they’re nothing!”
Just then—
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
“Senior Brother Su Chen.”
“It’s me.”
“Your junior sister, Ruyan, is here to see you.”
A soft, melodic voice rang from outside the door.
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately frowned.
This annoying woman again?
She was ruining his perfectly good day!
Feeling slightly irritated, he left the courtyard, entered his room, and opened the door.
“What do you want?”
His tone was cold and indifferent, showing no sign of warmth toward Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan was dressed in a light blue robe, her beauty unmatched, her aura ethereal, like a celestial fairy descended from the heavens.
But at this moment—
Her expression wasn’t pleased.
What was this attitude?
She had already lowered herself to seek him out.
Shouldn’t Senior Brother Su Chen have been overjoyed, eagerly inviting her inside?
Hmph!!!
Seeing his cold demeanor, Liu Ruyan felt a twinge of displeasure. But remembering her purpose for coming, she forced herself to remain patient.
“Senior Brother Su Chen, stop being childish.”
“And let’s stop arguing.”
“Let’s make up.”
