Chapter 181 - A Small Step in the Primordial World’s Correction (1/2)
“Ling’e told me that you would be nervous when you interact with women in front of others.”
Jiu Jiu sat on the railing of the treasure s.h.i.+p. She carried a huge gourd on her back and swayed her feet gently. Behind her was a colorful array formation wall. She held a few wine spirit bean pills in her hand and casually tossed one of them. She raised her head and opened her mouth…
There was a loud sound.
“Although I admit that I don’t have much feminine charm, I’m still considered a woman. Therefore, I endured it and didn’t ask you to play.”
When Xiong Lingli heard that, she lowered her head and looked at her muscles. She hung her head low silently and hugged herself tightly.
Li Changshou, who was meditating in the corner, could not help but laugh bitterly… Aunt-Master, do you have any misunderstandings about feminine charm?
So Ling’e had instructed her in advance. Li Changshou felt emotional.
He did not dote on his junior sister for nothing.
He had decided!
From now on, there was no need for the paper effigy to monitor Ling’e. Right before he returned to the sect, he would use the paper effigy to see what Ling’e was doing.
If Ling’e slacked off and did not cultivate properly, he would reward her by grounding her for ten years and making her cultivate in seclusion.
If Ling’e was dolling herself up, taking a bath, and changing her clothes, he would reward her by making her copy the Steadiness Sutra five hundred times to correct her thoughts.
If Ling’e were to eat roast meat in the spiritual beast enclosure, then… beat her up behind closed doors.
Ahem. If Ling’e were to work hard at cultivating and meditating, he would officially teach her the original Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique, allowing her to have more defensive abilities.
Li Changshou sorted his thoughts out and felt a little emotional.
The elegant and intelligent young lady from back then was now standing tall and graceful. Apart from wanting to do bad things to her senior brother, she looked quite good in all aspects.
In particular, in the past decade or so, Lingle had lost some of her “impulses” to cause trouble. She had become much more composed.
That made Li Changshou rather satisfied.
From now on, as long as Ling’e could hold on and remain steady, he would not treat her unfairly.
Jiu Jiu sighed softly.
“Ah, why didn’t I ascend when I was transcending the tribulation?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ve read about it in the records in the Dao Repository. Whether one ascends or not depends not on one’s apt.i.tude, comprehension, and acc.u.mulation before becoming an immortal, as well as whether one’s Dao is born with Heaven and Earth.”
“Hmph.” Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes. “You have no say since I’m only at the sixth stage of the Dao Requital realm!”
“Yes, yes.” Li Changshou lowered his head and said, “I have said too much.”
“Hmm… I’m not saying that your cultivation level is not high. Don’t think too much.”
Jiu Jiu was afraid that she would accidentally hurt Li Changshou’s confidence in cultivating the Dao. After thinking for a while, she pretended to be old and lectured him.
“Cultivation goes on for a long time. It’s not a matter of just a few days. A fleeting moment of rapid progress does not mean that one’s future achievements would be very high. There are some Qi Refinement cultivators with outstanding apt.i.tude and comprehension. They had become immortals in a hundred years and Perfected Immortals in a thousand years. As they cultivated, they were suddenly stuck at a bottleneck. They could not even break through and become Heaven Immortals, much less live forever. That’s why I said that cultivation… Yes, that’s right, you can’t be rash. You have to look at it in the long term!”
“How knowledgeable, Aunt-Master!” Li Changshou smiled and agreed.
Xiong Lingli, who was at the side, was filled with emotions. Her big eyes were s.h.i.+ning with starlight as she looked at her little senior sister with admiration.
Jiu Jiu waved at Xiong Lingli in embarra.s.sment. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked Li Changshou, “What do you plan to do about Little Lingli? She is the Sect Leader’s in-name disciple. It’s more appropriate for her to go to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to cultivate. Do you want me to take her to my place? My residence is empty anyway. I’m about to move into your Little Qiong Peak!”
“Little Qiong Peak is more simple.” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Lingli has the bloodline of a Magihuman. Although she has already abstained from eating, she still likes to eat. It’s suitable for her to stay in Little Qiong Peak.”
He continued, After I go back, I will expand the spiritual beast enclosure by several times. I will rear more delicious spiritual beasts and let Lingli take care of them while cultivating. If that’s the case, there’s no need for her to always go out and hunt.”
Jiu Jiu’s eyes lit up. She looked at Xiong Lingli and could not help but pout…
Wouldn’t that mean that she could openly eat and drink together with the little sister from Xiong Village? Xiong Lingli cringed and looked weakly at her senior sister who was clearly pet.i.te but had strong muscles in a certain body part…
Her gaze was very similar to when she was hungry!
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let’s talk when we get back.”
Jiu Jiu immediately nodded and agreed. Xiong Lingli looked at her cousin, the Sea G.o.d, and then at her Senior Sister Jiu Jiu. She felt uncertain.
What is the Immortal Du Sect like…
Jiu Jiu suddenly reached out her hand and shouted, “I want to play Fighting The G.o.d! The meet this time was really too boring. I slept more than twenty times before it ended!”
Li Changshou smiled and took out the cards that he had prepared earlier. He called Lingli over and asked Little Aunt-Master to set up a layer of immortal power barrier around him, preventing external detection.
Originally, Xiong Lingli had said that she was very stupid and might not know how to play. However, after two rounds, Xiong Linli’s eyes were already glistening. She shouted, “Four Heaven Immortals”, “One Golden Immortal”, “Tap-tap”, “Joint Flying Immortal”. She was more ferocious than anyone else!
Putting the fun aside, Li Changshou did not forget to think about serious matters.
What should I do to make Master Zhao’s gang stop fooling around?
Li Changshou had originally thought that Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao, and the others were just acting on a whim. However, judging from what happened to Daoist Wen Jing, the pair of siblings had already started a series of large-scale scams…
There was no police force that could help them in the Primordial World. Master Zhao’s backer was too strong!
Today, they could coincidentally scam Daoist Wen Jing. Tomorrow, they might be able to cheat the Purple Cloud Palace!
Li Changshou could not help but feel depressed…
Back then, in order to deal with the hunchbacked old Daoist from the Western Sect, he had set up the Great Dao oath meticulously. However, it was really not easy to clean up the mess.
He wanted to let go of that matter, but he was afraid that he would be implicated if he caused any trouble in the future.
He wanted to intervene in time, but he did not know how to do it…
After worrying for a few days, Li Changshou even thought of inviting his little backerMaster Xuan Du—to settle the matter.
However, if he were to invite the Great Daoist Master for no reason, it would only ruin the Great Daoist Master’s good impression of him…
He could not use his backer casually. The matter was not that urgent.
Just as Li Changshou was at a loss for what to do, Jiu Jiu’s unintentional words made him have a flash of inspiration…
Jiu Jiu said, “I don’t know why Ling’e is so afraid of you, her senior brother. Can’t you be gentler to Ling’e!?!”
Senior Brother… Senior Brother…
Right!
Li Changshou slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about that big boss!?!
Jiu Jiu blinked. “Why are you hitting yourself? Are you trying to show your frustration with such an exaggerated action?”
“No, I suddenly thought of… a small trick to cultivation.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Thank you, Aunt-Master, for reminding me. I will be gentler to Ling’e in the future. Aunt-Master, play with Lingli first. I’ll go into seclusion for a while!”
