A Celestial Emperor’s Self-Cultivation - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Senior Brother, I Will Do It!

Danger! Danger! Danger!

Jiang Shengxie’s body trembled and his scalp turned numb.

Three words drenched in blood abruptly appeared in front of him.

Some things were very amazing.

If Ji Mingyue really had done his Senior Brother a disservice, Jiang Shengxie would not have felt afraid. Instead, he would unsheathe his sword immediately and condemn her.

But the problem was, the ones he caught having a love affair were precisely his big brother and his sister-in-law.

This was extremely embarrassing!

Now, Jiang Shengxie just wanted to find a hole and stick his head into it.

A legitimate kind of hole!

Fortunately, it was not he who was the most embarrassed and uncomfortable now.

It was a certain virgin whose surname was Feng.

…

Initially, Feng Nanming followed Jiang Shengxie closely in preparation to watch Jiang Shengxie expose Miss Mingyue.

If the timing was right, he would not even mind helping out to earn the Oiran’s favor in the meantime.

What if the Oiran was moved by his actions and proceeded to fall in love with him?

However, of all the possibilities Feng Nanming imagined, he never expected to witness this scene before him.

The distinguished guest received by Miss Mingyue was actually Li Hanguang!

Why? Why was he everywhere?

Feng Nanming was suffering deep sorrow and he instantly put on a mask of pain.

Especially when he saw that the zither he gifted to Ji Mingyue was still in front of her.

Feng Nanming’s mind crumbled!

Ji Mingyue used the ancient zither he gifted to her to play songs for Li Hanguang?

This is bullying! Extreme bullying!!!

Ahh!!!

Feng Nanming’s face was full of agony. “Miss Mingyue, how could you use the zither that I gifted you to play songs for him?”

Ji Mingyue’s expression was slightly altered as she cautiously took a glance at Li Hanguang.

Seeing that Li Hanguang was not mad, she snorted, “What gift? I exchanged it with a golden token!

“And since it is my zither now, why can’t I use it to play songs for my Senior Brother?”

The corners of Feng Nanming’s mouth twitched. “Do you know that there’s an unresolvable grudge between me and Li Hanguang?”

Huh?

Ji Mingyue was greatly frightened.

She quickly picked up the zither and threw it into Feng Nanming’s arms as if it was a scalding potato. “Why didn’t you tell me that earlier?

“If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t want this zither. It doesn’t have the feel at all!

“It caused me to play improperly and disappointed my Senior Brother.”

Feng Nanming: “!!!”

You used the zither that I gave you to play songs for my nemesis.

And you’re saying that this zither doesn’t have the feel and even made the listener disappointed?

This is bullying! Extreme bullying!

Ahhhh!!!

Ji Mingyue remembered something and added, “By the way, I’m returning this zither, so give me back the golden token too!

“I don’t want this zither anymore~”

…

Poof!

Feng Nanming burst into anger as his energy and blood surged.

He took out the golden token from his arms and tossed it out while glaring at Li Hanguang. “You with the surname of Li! How dare you rob me of my love!”

The corners of Li Hanguang’s mouth twitched. “She has already known me for three years, so the word ‘rob’ isn’t quite appropriate here.”

Mingyue added salt to his wounds, “Also, my skill in the zither is all thanks to Senior Brother Li’s guidance.

“Without Senior Brother Li, I wouldn’t be who I am today.”

What?

Does that mean he came first?

Cursed~

The corners of Feng Nanming’s mouth twitched wildly. “Li Hanguang! You! You! You!

“Don’t be so full of yourself! One day, I will surpass you and extinguish your pride!”

Li Hanguang’s expression was indifferent. He completely ignored Feng Nanming.

Before he met Chu Xiaolian and obtained the top-grade Fire Spiritual Root from his body, Li Hanguang had been thinking about making peace with this guy.

After all, it was a Fire Spiritual Root that he was lacking back then.

As for now?

Hu-huh, my apologies!

You no longer have the root that I desire.

Once, you were indifferent to me, but right now, I’m out of your league.

Li Hanguang sat in front of the table and finished all the tea in his cup. “For the enemies that I’ve already defeated, I will never regard them as my opponent. I will give you time to catch up but by then, I’ll be so far ahead that you can no longer see me.”

His attitude was cold, lofty, and indifferent!

…

“Well said!

“Well said, Senior Brother Li!”

Within the private room, Jiang Shengxie’s vibrant cheers sounded. “That was amazing!”

A sly grin appeared on his face. “Why would someone defeated at the hands of Senior Brother yell about surpassing him again?

“Senior Brother Li, you may keep sister-in-law company and listen to music while sipping on tea over here with your heart at ease. Leave this grandson to me!”

As soon as he finished, Jiang Shengxie glared at Feng Nanming with his nose tilted to the sky.”Do you dare to have a duel with me again?”

Li Hanguang could neither cry nor laugh. The expression on his face, however, was still as indifferent and profound as it had been before.

For Ji Mingyue, after she heard the word ‘sister-in-law’, the killing intent on her face slowly receded.

“Don’t embarrass Senior Brother Li. Or else, expect a sequel to the hairpin incident!”

“Alright~ Just watch me, sister-in-law!”

Jiang Shengxie’s expression became cockier. “Let’s head out there and fight, you son of a b*tch!”

“Don’t stay here and disturb my Senior Brother and Sister-in-law!”

Holy moly!

He isn’t even addressing me as Senior Brother anymore!

Feng Nan was so pissed vile energy went rampant inside his body and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Although cultivators could spurt out anything as long as it was not their own Qi, to have spurted blood out of anger, one could tell that the rage within Feng Nanming’s heart was indeed pretty vigorous!

“Today, I will whack you into a pancake!”

Feng Nanming took a deep look at Li Hanguang. He knew that there was no chance of him winning against him.

He had already lost to him three years ago. If he were to fight him again today, that would just be asking to be insulted.

As for Jiang Shengxie, his mind was dead set on whacking him up!

…

The group of people who came with great strength and vigor disappeared in the exact same manner.

The door to the private Tianzi Room 1 was shut once again and its sound insulation magic array was thoughtfully activated.

Li Hanguang shook his head and chuckled.

But the action itself had caught Ji Mingyue’s eyes like a dazzling light exuding a charm that left her in a stupor.

Suddenly, Ji Mingyue remembered something.

“Senior Brother, I remember that you said that you’ve prepared a birthday gift for me.”

She looked at Li Hanguang expectantly, her face full of joy.

In fact, she did not care about what her Senior Brother was giving her!

Because her Senior Brother had remembered her birthday and especially prepared a gift for her. That was already enough to make her happy!

Li Hanguang nodded gently and took out a tiny jade bottle from his sleeves with a smile.

Within the jade bottle, was a pill, golden in color.

Li Hanguang said calmly, “This is Spiritual Medicine that I found in an ancient secret realm. It can enhance one’s aptitude.

“If you consume it and allow me to refine the pill for you with my powers, I can raise your mid-grade Metal Spiritual Root to a high-grade one.”

A medicine that could improve one’s Spiritual Root?

Ji Mingyue’s expression slightly altered as she hurriedly said, “H-how can I accept this?”

As she was no longer the ignorant girl she used to be, she was well aware of how precious such a supreme pill that could improve one’s aptitude was!

Such a pill was ten times more valuable than a genius with a high-grade Spiritual Root himself—maybe even more!

How was she deserving of this?

Li Hanguang smiled. “Don’t turn me down, I don’t like it.

“You know that you’re unqualified to be by my side with just a mid-grade Spiritual Root.”

Ji Mingyue’s body quivered slightly. As if she had figured out something, her eyes gradually became resolute. “I got it!”

“Rest assured, Senior Brother! I will definitely endure the pain of the Spiritual Root Transformation and succeed in elevating!”

Li Hanguang nodded in satisfaction. “Excellent! You may take a seat!”

Ji Mingyue sat legs-crossed and asked gently, “Senior Brother, do I…do I need to take off my clothes?”

Li Hanguang: “What?”

Ji Mingyue’s blushed. “I heard that clothes would hinder the transmission of Spiritual Energy between two people.

“Hence, during healing or dual cultivation, having one’s clothes removed will yield a slighter better effect.”

Li Hanguang could neither cry nor laugh. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to take off your clothes.”

Oh~

Ji Mingyue was absorbed in thought.

…

After quite some time, she asked again, “Senior Brother, do I really not have to take off my clothes?

“A technique that elevates one’s aptitude and alters one’s fate must consume a lot of energy!

“If removing my clothes and make things easier for you, I… I will do it!”
