Chapter 135: Divine Spirit Beast (1/2)
”Good, shall we begin?”

Back outside, Li Xiang was awake and waiting with Xiao Hei for Xiao Fang to come out of the cauldron.
”How long has he been in there for?” Li Xiang asked worriedly.
”It's been over an hour,” Xiao Hei answered.
”How could he be in there for over an hour without lighting up a single ring?”
Xiao Hei didn't respond because she also didn't know what was taking him so long. She assumed he was just stalling to not reveal his talents, but after a while she began to worry.
There was nothing in there that could threaten his life, but because they had such a close relationship, she naturally worried for him.
The supreme elder couldn't believe what she was seeing. Two extremely talented girls were worrying about a crippled and talentless man.
'Just what kind of spell did he put on these girls?' the supreme elder thought.
”Girls, don't you think you are acting a bit inappropriately. Someone with your talents could do much better than someone like him,” the supreme elder spoke bluntly.
Hearing the supreme elder's words, Li Xiang's cheeks turned red.
”Ah, please don't misunderstand. I only care for him as a family member. He told me that his fiancée was someone in my family's sect,” Li Xiang tried to explain.
”Ha! He told you that his fiancée was a member of the Li family sect? What is her name?”
”Her name is Li Lian.”
”Li Lian?! Hahahahahahaha.”
Li Xiang didn't know what the supreme elder was laughing about, but if she knew that Li Lian had recently became the Matriarch's only direct disciple then she might've understood her reaction.
The supreme elder laughed louder than she ever laughed before, it was as if Li Xiang had told her the most hilarious joke she had ever heard.
Wiping her tears after laughing so hard, she finally began to speak.
”Let me give you some advice. All men are liars. I wouldn't be so quick to believe anything they say.”
”Ah, could he be lying about being engaged to her? I guess I believed it too easily. Perhaps I was really being naïve.”
Although Li Xiang still liked Xiao Fang, she didn't want to go against the supreme elder's words. Even if she had told her that she was adopted, she still wouldn't refute her words, because the supreme elders were respected by everyone in the Black Paradise sect, even the Matriarch had to humble herself in front of them.
”Mn, you were being naïve. You should've known a talentless cripple like him would never marry any girl from a noble family, much less into the Li family clan.”
Suddenly Xiao Hei snapped.
”Li Lian is his fiancée, and if you call him a cripple again I'll rip your fucking throat out!”
”You...”
Neither the supreme elder nor Li Xiang could believe what they were hearing. Considering how much of a talent Xiao Hei was, the supreme elder allowed it to pass.
”I'll pretend I didn't hear anything this time, but you would be wise not to offend me.”
