The next morning, Saoirse was seen cleaning the courtyard. Vigilante A nodded satisfyingly, no matter who it was or how pretty one was, one could not receive the Sir's kindness for free...
Except for one fellow, who was still sleeping soundly.
Facing the morning Sun, Vigilante A inhaled deeply, the air was exceptionally fresh.
Followed by the activation of the Era of Vitality, science and technology industries shrunk. Many people began to cultivate, and gradually became more accustomed to running or flying to places...
For the first time, the oppressed in the city had completely taken off. Besides, as a result of the moon crisis that appeared earlier on, an extensive number of construction works were brought to a halt, streams of people migrated, the city was vacant for a few months... Due to all these factors, even the air in Qi City became fresher without any external force.
A dragon roar resonated, accompanied by breathing sounds, which caused Saoirse, who was peeping beside, to be left in awe.
Without a doubt, her real identity was of high status, but the True Dragon from the upper realm had an even higher status. Ling Yunzi who had a cunning, vicious natural disposition, and was engrossed in his cultivation path, was the only fellow who made little of the True Dragon.
Could she actually manage to plot a scheme against a figure like him?
She could not help but felt deeply troubled, after all, he was a True Dragon from the upper realm, not a loach from the lower realm.
"Achoo!" A fellow who was sound asleep sneezed. Followed by that, a System Notification that said "Intuition increased" appeared, but it was unfortunate that he did not hear it.
Saoirse lowered her head as she continued with the cleaning, facing Vigilante A who was stubborn and looked at her as if she was a piece of wood. Several of the methods she had been used to had lost their effectiveness.
After pondering, she thought that perhaps she needed to employ the method suggested by Old Master Ling Yunzi.
"Vigilante A is not an ordinary figure, your alluring tricks are completely pointless. This man has always considered himself to be righteous, and he highly values loyalty. All of his recruited subordinates are faithful characters, I've already investigated this. If you'd like to learn his alchemy skill, you'll have to forget your past identities, and move him with true feelings from the human world. I'll give you one piece of advice, show your sincerity and you shall get something in return."
'That being said, is it that easy to show my sincerity?
'If I were to give my heart truly, the first thing I'll have to do is to tell him my real name...Xing Xi, and my real identity, the second palace mistress of Liu Yun Palace.
'If that's the case, how will he react?
'Kill me with one hit from his palm?
'Or lock me up in the rumored Dragon Penitentiary? That I'll never see daylight forever?'
Xing Xi wondered hesitantly. Through the ages, dying and sacrifice had always been the toughest acts to carry out, especially for them who had advanced their cultivation base to a certain level and had promising longevity. They had an immense fear of death, hence they would instinctively avoid any inevitable doom.
She fixed her gaze blankly on that imposing figure, whose back view emitted multitudinous golden lights under the radiating morning Sun. Such a scene would really make one prostrate oneself to worship him.
"Ahem, go back for breakfast, don't exhaust yourself." Vigilante A conducted his powers for some time, then told her this before he left with his sword.
Unknowing of how long it had been, she had not heard anyone speaking to her so calmly. When Xing Xi heard that, she finally freed herself from her swerving mind momentarily, then she sighed.
As the mistress of a palace and a master in the cultivation world, it was natural for her to have composure. The only thing was that at the end of the day, she was still a lady, not a goddess. It was rare to find someone as perfect as Vigilante A in the upper realm.
Mortal women could only see his appearance and wealth, but she could tell that beneath his appearance... Hid an enormous power. This was what truly moved her.
In actual fact, what she said to Nan Feng the ugly man were not entirely lies. For a cultivator, one's appearance was not important at all, what mattered most was still power and wealth.
...
Vigilante A was clueless that a lady was having intertwined feelings because of him, but of course, there were not just one or two ladies who were who were exercised because of him.
It was just that all the while, Sir System never developed a "Bosom Buddies" Module. As a matter of course, it politely refused to get involved in matters that would waste its time.
Not only that, it even restricted Fang Ning from getting married and having children, so to prevent it from wasting its cultivation time.
In terms of this, the Sir was self-taught, such that being a system itself, it understood that getting married meant losing one's freedom.
A long sword swooshed in the sky, then suddenly stopped in the sky above a mountain area in the southeast.
"Eh, there seems to be a dogfight down there?"
"What, the black dog and the yellow dog are fighting?" When Fang Ning, who was lazing in bed, heard this while he was at a daze, he quickly rolled out of his bed.
Regarding this, Ling Yunzi was right, Fang Ning was a person who valued comradeship very much.
He would not just let an internal rivalry occur between the black dog and the yellow dog in order to strive for his affection. Although he was late to catch on, he managed to notice signs of it.
Despite the fact that they were both loyal, loyalty did not mean that knew how to give and take. On a contrary, as they were eager to display their faith, the competition between them became stronger.
Therefore, the moment Fang Ning heard about this, he subconsciously assumed that the conflict between the two dogs had intensified.
Since both the yellow dog and the black dog were outside, without restrainment from their owner, it was highly possible that they would fight to be the boss.
"I must say, lazy Mr. Rich Boss, a lot of psychological drama is going on in your head." Flustered, sir continued, "I only drew an analogy, yet you came up with such a thought. It's the old rat and Ling Yunzi who are fighting down there, I think the old rat is in danger."
"I see, let them fight. We'll just watch on the sideline and see if we can collect any dead bodies after." As soon as Fang Ning heard it, he suggested.
"Great minds think alike, I was... Thinking the same." Sir expropriated Fang Ning's suggestion unmannerly.
"Keep an eye on them, I'll go catch up on some sleep... Be more direct with your speech from now on, stop exaggerating situations with your metaphors."
"I get it." Sir replied conscientiously.
In the mountain area, a misty figure was seen surrounding a golden-yellow figure as they battled.
Every now and then, it either filled the air or shriveled like a needle. It was exceptionally cold at times, or awfully flaming when it was not.
As for the golden-yellow figure, its body appeared to be protected by a golden shield, which sealed all its weak points on its body, as if it was terrified of the pervasive mist.
Evidently, Ling Yunzi's Shadowless Poison was extremely powerful, to the extent that even the dharmakaya of four True Dragons would be destroyed as well. Even if Elder Ancestor Bai was rampant, he dared not risk his body being poisoned.
Similar to wild beasts from nature, if they were certain that their opponent might hurt them, they usually chose to back away. This was because wounded wild beasts basically had no chance of survival in nature.
Infection, difficulties in hunting for food, being attacked by other competitors... All the above would enlarge their wounds, which would not heal on its own, causing the beasts to die miserably.
It was the same for the cultivation world in the upper realm, whereby true powerhouses protected their bodies appropriately before going to war, easily bringing down evenly matched enemies. If one were to stand in their way, they would exterminate them.
Elder Ancestor Bai was left with no choice. Now that he was cultivating the path of godhood, he needed to focus his belief on himself; if he refined a transformed body as well, it would likely cause the transformed body to turn into the master, to absorb his faith, to play make-believe, and to turn into God. As for him, he would become its body double...
In comparison, Ling Yunzi, who cultivated the path of immortality, did not have such concerns. His transformed body originated from his own magic, which had a limited power source. Hence, it would not turn into the master, or the chances were little unless his body was at the gate of death.
Currently, Elder Ancestor Bai was very dispirited. Initially, he came out to look for Bai Ruocang as he wanted to hand him some tasks.
Who knew, he was hindered by Ling Yunzi from the upper realm. After just a few questions, he insisted that Elder Ancestor Bai was the one who set the trap that cost him half of his magical powers and reserves, and almost made him die under the ten-thousand-foot waterfall.
