Cheat Cultivator's Ascension-Chapter 418: Long Moxie’s Scheming
"Two makes for a conversation and three creates an entire market of noise huh…" muttering to himself as he continues cooking, the immortal-like young man expressed with a wry smile on his face verifying the truth of these words, the fact that he can here the giggles and laughter of those ladies even from another room something that truly serves as a proof, especially when all of them are usually so demure and graceful all the time, well, except for a particular drunkard among the group.
And speaking of said drunkard, it is mostly her rambunctious, yet still melodic laughter that he can hear echoing possibly across their entire abode, something that is considered to be big even in cultivator's standard, given how it is usually just the Dao Seeking Mountain's honored guests who are allowed to stay here.
Letting the sound of laughter permeate all across the entire place, Su Xiaotian returns to his job, efficiently using his knowledge of swordsmanship and martial arts regarding cold weapons in order to deal with the ingredients, the fact that a martial artist would use his combat knowledge and techniques just to cook something so incredulous that most people who would hear and not witness it would just refuse to believe something like this altogether.
"A little bland…" taking a sip of the soup he is making, the immortal-like young man said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, all while already moving his hands and starting to add some spices to the soup in order to bring out more flavor to it.
----------
"Really? I can't believe he's already like that even when he is just a kid" a dignified-looking mature beauty said with a clear note of surprise in her voice as she heard the stories being told by another lady in this group, the one telling the story being a blacked-haired, goddess-like beauty with charms that can be said to be more than enough to make anyone fall for her, woman or man, with just a single gaze from her.
Another person acting quite shocked as she heard such story is a phoenix-like beauty with a mature, motherly bearing to herself, sitting right beside her is another phoenix -like beauty that appears to be a younger version of herself, also filled with extreme disbelief in her face as she heard the tales about a young man, to be exact, a young man that she is extremely interested in.
Seeing the looks on her sworn sisters as well as their juniors' faces, the one telling the story couldn't help but smile proudly as she felt good bragging about her beloved son, and the fact that these four are way too surprised with the story is just the icing on the cake that she is looking for.
"Fufufu~~~ surprising, isn't it? My dear baby is really talented, and to be honest, even I myself finds his achievements ridiculous in the beginning, well, being together with him for more than a decade mellowed that surprised, and I am somehow getting used to it by now~~" the goddess-like, charming motherly beauty said with a proud smile on her face, the tip of her fair, perfect nose pointing a bit upwards due to her pride regarding her beloved son.
Meanwhile, among the other listeners of her story, there are hardly anyone among them who are as surprised as the four, as they had already known the black-haired, motherly beauty's son for a fairly long while, and they are already developing mental immunity to his absurdity as well. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Well, my dear big brother is just like that, no need to be so surprised~" adding to the words of her first mother, a bubbly young beauty said making the others agree to her, the one particularly agreeing more than the others being the empress-like beauty who is already holding a bottle of alcohol in her hand despite the time being early in the morning, her agreement due to her spending a lot of time with the young man as well, enough for her to know that it is not only the young man's martial arts are absurd, but even his alchemy skills as well.
Talking about the young man some more as both the dignified-looking mature beauty and the phoenix-like motherly beauty asks more about the immortal-like young man, the ladies become indulged in their conversations, the only thing snapping them out of this comfortable atmosphere being a smell that made them, particularly the two Ascension Realm beauties, to salivate despite their body no longer needing food for sustenance anymore.
"Food is ready!!" a strong, authoritative masculine voice sounds from the kitchen as they thought about how long they were going to wait until the food was ready, said voice making them stand up and move to the dining room immediately.
----------
"Fuck!!! Who is that bastard, huh!? Why would he even dare get in my way disciplining my future woman!!" flipping a table up in sheer anger due to the humiliation he felt the previous day, an intelligent-looking young man with a hint of a ruler's bearing to him, shouted as he looks towards the older, more experienced man standing just in front of him, his eyes red from anger scaring even this man who is league stronger than this intelligent-looking young man.
"He's the one we are talking about previously, your highness, the child of that woman…" the aged man, this intelligent-looking young man's most trusted aide, said with a mixture of terror and excitement in his voice, terror due to the fact that this young candidate successor to the Imperial Court's throne oftentimes becomes way too volatile whenever he is feeling like this, making him worry about what he might do.
Excitement due to the fact that the two of them finally managed to get a new toy to play with, and not to mention this potential toy of theirs being the descendant of an extremely famous goddess-like talent during the previous generation.
Hearing the words from his most trusted aide, this intelligent-looking young man, Long Moxie, smiles widely with a clear corrupted intent into it, his hands rubbing as he licked his lips almost as if he just saw the most delicious food in front of him, his mood drastically improving and swinging from the negative extreme to the positive one.
"Good, good, good! No, this is great, HAHAHAH!! Who would've guessed that I would encounter such a prized target like that so early? This place truly is brimming with luck for me!" the young man expressed as he stood up from his seat with an approving look on his face as he gazed towards this most trusted aide of his, patting his shoulders before he started giving out his commands.
"Order the Hidden Guards to get their hands on some Yang Reversal Pill for whatever price they have to pay, tell them that they will be rewarded with their freedom once they manage to find it…" Long Moxie said with the perverted grin not leaving his face, the very same expression on his face also plastered on the aged man's face, both of them laughing as if they just couldn't wait to enact their plans.
"I just have to remind you, your highness, that kid is protected by the Heavenly Secret Tower, I heard they value him quite a lot…"Being the thorough person he is though, the older man cleared his throat as he continued his report, making the Imperial Court's potential successor scratch his head as he started to feel quite annoyed regarding the troubles he had to face in order to get his hand on this new target of his.
However, the young man eventually smiles in the end as if he just came victorious out of something, the smile on his face the confident one that the aged aide always sees whenever the young prince is already certain of his victory against someone.
"All the more reason why we must get him now, right? I think the ancestor will also be glad I am able to suppress such genius" the young man said with a proud and excited smile on his face, his fist clenching on the thought of his position in the throne inheritance skyrocketing once he managed to capture the young man who ruined his previous good deeds.
Hearing the words from the prince he follows since said prince's birth, the aged man's eyes widened in surprise at the boldness that he is currently displaying, something really uncharacteristic to him yet he agreed with, especially since they are dealing with an enemy that grows even more absurd the more time given to him is.
"I shall carry out your order with utmost urgency, your highness!" Long Moxie's aide said with an impressed look on his face, a hint of pride taking root in his heart as he noticed that the young prince was finally growing more mature, something that he longed to see, especially when he is barely keeping his place among the potential successors with his current strength.
Hearing the words from his most trusted aide, Long Moxie merely nods in approval as he watches the figure disappear in a blink, leaving him in his lonesome in order to scheme even more.
