ATG: My genius is almost frightening!-Chapter 480 - 479: Xiaolian’s Idea Of Productivity

Clack! Clack! Clack!

The sharp, clear sound of chains clacking under the old man's struggle echoed through the air. His once confident and indifferent expression twisted into something vicious and cruel. "Do you think you can stop me with these flimsy things?"

BOOM!

He thrashed violently, limbs flailing as he pulled against the chains with all his strength. The sword's inner space shuddered violently in response, trembling under the force of his movements.

"Ah!" Shen Xi's face contorted in pain, a sharp cry escaping her lips. Almost immediately, however, her expression softened, melting into bliss as she felt the warm, soothing power of Yun Wuji. She leaned against his chest, murmuring, "Thanks, honey."

"But if you keep doing this, you might just flip my switch." She leaned closer, whispering into his ear, careful her daughter would not overhear.

"..." Yun Wuji.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The space continued to quake uneasily for a good half a minute. When it finally settled, the only thing that remained was the panting old man, glaring at Yun Wuji. "What did you do? What is this thing?"

He had been the absolute ruler of this space. Not even Shen Xi, the sword's spirit, could contend with him here. How could someone defeat him? And so freaking easily?

Who is this man? Why is he so strong? This doesn't make any freaking sense!

"I don't know, maybe because my soul is strong?" Yun Wuji shrugged casually, as if answering a trivial question.

His soul power had been strong enough to obliterate Meng Kongchan's soul defenses and will, turning him into a slave. Dealing with this guy was even easier, especially while using a formation connecting the four of them.

"Well, that was easy," Hei Xiaolian muttered, still taken aback.

That's not how things should have gone.

Shouldn't Yun Wuji have an epic fight with this guy, get pushed back, and only with the help of the three of them fight back? And then, when the old man is on the verge of defeat, he'd pull some despicable move, harm Shen Xi, and threaten everyone, forcing Yun Wuji to somehow pull some dormant power from his ass using the power of love to save them all?

"Perhaps I'm reading too many novels lately," Hei Xiaolian complained, holding her forehead. A headache was forming from all the cliché scenarios she had imagined for this confrontation.

"Yeah, you should focus on something more productive," Yun Wuji said.

"Productive? You're right!" Hei Xiaolian's face suddenly lit up with excitement. She clapped her hands and shouted, "I should focus on producing a baby! Once we finish dealing with this old cunt, I'll have to work hard with you to make some cute little babies!"

"...That's not what I meant... Well, whatever," Yun Wuji muttered, facepalming, 'She can do whatever she wants as long as she's happy, I guess.'

"Hello? I'm still here. Can you stop flirting in front of this old man?" The old spirit's irritated voice cut through them. He glared at them and demanded, "What do you want from me?"

These people had come specifically for him. There had to be a reason. Not everything was lost. Perhaps he could find a chance to escape from their grasp and flip the table.

"What do we want from you?" Yun Wuji tilted his head, genuine confusion on his face. "It seems you misunderstood something. I don't want shit from you. I came here to end your life."

"Wait! That objective changed earlier. I will torture the shit out of you, so don't worry. You will stay alive. Though I don't think you will want to be alive after I finish with you, hahahaha." His lips curled into that trademark gentle smile, twisting into something sinister as he laughed.

"Right, girls?" He turned to the three women, eyes glinting with menace.

"Yes, Wuji, hahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

For the first time, the old spirit felt true dread. He saw the Evil Infant, Hei Xiaolian, the known kindest soul in the universe, the Creation Goddess of Life, Li Suo, and the Dragon Princess, Shen Xi, famed for her sacred heart. All of them were laughing at him with sinister, hair-raising, wicked smiles, their gazes sending shivers down his spine and making his skin crawl.

...

"Finally got rid of that parasite. I can now be at ease." Pulling their senses from the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword, Yun Wuji touched Shen Xi's flat belly and said, "Now both of you are safe."

His other hand held a fist-sized silver orb, twirling endlessly as shadows of metallic chains coiled within it. He had severed the connection the old spirit shared with the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword and sealed him inside this orb. In a sense, he was doing him a favor. If that guy lost his connection with the sword, he would probably cease to exist in a short time.

Though he was sure the old spirit would not be grateful, especially after what he would be doing to him very soon.

"She is still asleep?" Yun Wuji asked.

"Yeah," Shen Xi answered as she placed her hand over his, a gentle smile on her face. "Wuji." She suddenly called his name.

"Yes?" Yun Wuji replied.

"Thank you... I love you... I love you so much, Wuji~!" Shen Xi intertwined her fingers with his and whispered softly, her gentle, infatuated expression on that impossibly beautiful face something no man in the Primal Chaos could ever imagine seeing in ten thousand lifetimes.

"I love you too, babe," Yun Wuji said, leaning closer to kiss her.

"Stop! Right there!" A hand suddenly blocked their lips. Hei Xiaolian glared at Shen Xi, shouting, "That's not what we agreed on!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. Wuji looks so hot right now," Shen Xi said, sticking her tongue out with an evasive smile.

"None of your business!" Hei Xiaolian grabbed Li Suo and Shen Xi and dragged them away. "Go take that stupid old cunt to Chi Wuyao and Caiyi. They will take care of him if you don't want to play with him. The three of us still have something to discuss."

Yun Wuji watched the three of them leave with narrowed eyes. A moment later, he broke into a chuckle. It didn't matter what Hei Xiaolian was planning. One thing was certain. It would be freaky, kinky, and most importantly, fun.

"Damn! How I like Xiaolian! She is the best!"

Contrary to his jubilant mood, the faint movement from the ball in his hand reflected the old spirit's desperate struggle. Yun Wuji clenched his fist, injecting profound energy into it. "Keep quiet, old fuck."

"I'll play with him for a while before throwing him to Caiyi. I haven't tortured anyone for a very long time. My skills have become rusty," Yun Wuji muttered darkly and sinisterly as he took off into the air.

...

A few days later, after Yun Wuji had grown bored of torturing that old man and vented his fury, he switched roles with Huan Caiyi and returned to the Well of Samsara with Shen Xi.

Another reason he had come back, aside from dealing with that old cunt, was to free his wife.

The reason Shen Xi could never leave the Forbidden Land of Samsara was her inability to take the sword from the well.

She had barely made a dent in her progress for over a million years. Her progress shortened significantly after she banged Yun Wuji a couple of times… cough, I mean many, many, many times, reducing the time needed from who knows how many million years to a measly five.

However, Yun Wuji wasn't satisfied. He didn't want his wife imprisoned like this anymore. On top of that, she couldn't give birth while sealed. Their daughter would remain trapped inside her until she broke free, meaning Yun Wuji would have to wait five more years to see little Yun Xi.

Ain't no way Yun Wuji was waiting that long to see his lovely daughter.

"Relax and enjoy the show. It will be done pretty soon," Yun Wuji said, caressing her face before thrusting his hand into the dark vortex inside the well. He closed his eyes, his expression turning serious and solemn.

Before he had ventured into the Abyss, he didn't have the ability to help Shen Xi. But after upgrading his skills and deepening his understanding of the Law of Nothingness, coupled with his immense strength, it became much easier to do so.

Shen Xi watched his serious face, concern etched across her beautiful features. Her brows were knitted with worry. She knew he could definitely succeed, but she was afraid there might be consequences for him. She didn't want him harmed because of her.

Bang!

However, her concern was unnecessary. Less than half an hour later, Yun Wuji opened his eyes, and a resounding invisible explosion sent shockwaves rippling in all directions. He pulled his hand from the well. This time it wasn't empty. He held a bronze, unadorned sword.

"I did it. From now on, you will no longer have to worry about anything," Yun Wuji said, caressing the sword as he stared at his wife, his happiness and excitement clear in his expression.

Most people would be thrilled to hold the Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword in their hands and probably start a bloody apocalyptic war over it. But to him, it was far less important… no, it was nothing compared to Shen Xi.

"Hmm, you did it, babe!" Shen Xi nodded heavily, struggling to hold back tears. Unable to contain her emotions, she jumped into his arms and held him tightly. "You did it. You did it, Wuji!"
