Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 436 - 233: The Birth of the Soul Fighting Machine! The Greatly Afflicted Senior Jiang Yourong! (6500 words)_2
Could a Saint Manifestation powerhouse create something that could temper an Earth Immortal? Obviously not.
"Not bad. With a bit more polishing, it’ll be ready for use," Wang Xiu muttered to himself.
He pushed the door open and walked out, only to find Yan Ji, who had been lying in wait, immediately morphing into her human form and throwing herself into his arms.
"Master, you’re finally out of seclusion! Yan Ji missed you so much..." the girl whined, her ample bosom pressing against him so hard it was difficult to breathe.
"Missed me? Or missed *it*?" Wang Xiu said with a sly smile, the runes on his hand shifting as he conjured strands of golden Fire of Candleholder.
"SLURP! I missed both, hehe!" Yan Ji drooled as she took the flame into her mouth and began to savor it. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
After feeding Yan Ji and playing with her for a while, Jiang Ling’er’s voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard. "Senior Brother, are you out of seclusion?"
Wang Xiu was taken aback for a moment. He patted Yan Ji on the backside, and she obediently lay down, reverting to her original form.
"Yes, I just came out!" Wang Xiu called as he walked towards the courtyard entrance.
Having not seen her for what felt like half a month, Jiang Ling’er seemed to have grown a bit. Her figure was taller and more slender, and her green dress swayed gracefully. Her skin glowed with a crystalline luster, and with features as pretty as a picture, she looked utterly charming and cute.
"It’s so hard to see you nowadays. You’re so busy, Senior Brother!" Jiang Ling’er pouted, her words carrying a hint of resentment.
In theory, since they both lived on Spirit Turtle Peak, they should have had plenty of time to see each other. However, this was the first time they had met since returning to the Sanqing Immortal Sect.
"Weren’t you the one who went down the mountain for Senior Jiang? You disappeared for over half a month... and you have the nerve to say I’m busy?" Wang Xiu chuckled, playfully flicking Jiang Ling’er’s delicate nose.
Jiang Yourong had already consumed a good amount of the Supreme Soul-Nourishing Elixir, and her strength was recovering rapidly. Furthermore, their journey to the Holy Realm had not only brought Jiang Ling’er opportunities but had also granted Jiang Yourong tremendous Creation. Her Divine Soul was already eighty to ninety percent restored, and she was preparing to reconstruct her physical body.
For the past several days, Jiang Ling’er had not been on Spirit Turtle Peak. She was either searching for materials in the Ghost Immortal Blessed Land or heading down the mountain to Vermilion Bird City to find rare celestial treasures. In short, she was quite busy herself.
Jiang Ling’er’s cheeks flushed. "You’re still busier than me, Senior Brother! Slaying members of the Demon Race, going to the Thunder Sect to become their live-in son-in-law... and as soon as you came back, you went into seclusion!"
She had obviously heard a great deal. At first, she was completely shocked. After all, it hadn’t been long since they returned from the Holy Realm, yet Wang Xiu had quietly accomplished several more earth-shattering feats. The news of him trapping and slaughtering countless members of the Demon Race in Heishui City, in particular, had spread throughout Nanzhou. Jiang Ling’er had even heard about it while picking Precious Medicine in a remote location.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride. That’s my Senior Brother! Always so dazzling.
But when she returned and learned about Wang Xiu and Ji Zidian, her happiness vanished, replaced by a deep gloom. I feel like I missed something... I was the one who met Senior Brother first! I even had the advantage of proximity... how did I let that woman get ahead of me?
She had wanted to see Wang Xiu the moment she got back, only to find him in seclusion. She had been bottling up her feelings for days, sulking like a resentful bride.
Wang Xiu was speechless. When did I become a live-in son-in-law?
But he knew by now that you couldn’t reason with a girl. He wisely skipped the topic, ruffling Jiang Ling’er’s hair instead. "Stop talking nonsense. I’ll treat you to a meal."
「」
A campfire once again blazed in the small courtyard. The rich aroma of roasting meat filled the air, and the broth was intensely flavorful. Divine light steamed from the pot as auspicious colors burst forth, its fragrance drifting far into the distance. Wang Xiu found that he increasingly enjoyed the feeling of cooking for himself; it gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Being a child at heart, Jiang Ling’er’s unhappiness quickly faded at the scent of the rich meat. Her gloom transformed into a driving motivation to devour the flesh of Fierce Beasts.
Jiang Yourong emerged, still wearing that sexy leopard-print dress, with large patches of her snow-white, gleaming skin exposed to the air. It wasn’t lewd; rather, it conveyed a wild, captivating sensuality that made one’s heart race. She couldn’t eat, however, and could only watch the other two with her arms crossed, looking utterly frustrated.
The group chatted as they ate.
Wang Xiu soon learned that while Jiang Ling’er was down the mountain, she had not only been busy finding materials to reconstruct Jiang Yourong’s body but had also been guided by her to explore several secret areas. During her travels, she stumbled into the lairs of Fierce Beasts twice, but by a stroke of luck, the beasts weren’t home, allowing her to swipe the treasures they guarded. Another time, she accidentally fell into a Secret Realm where she discovered the relics of a great Cultivator from thousands of years ago, obtaining a few remarkable treasures and materials. Later, she even acquired a token that granted her entry, along with many other Cultivators, into the cave dwelling of an ancient master. In the end, all the other Cultivators perished, while she alone emerged, reaping massive rewards.
Although she described it simply, Wang Xiu could imagine just how spectacular her journey must have been.
Truly a child of destiny! Wang Xiu’s lips twitched. He was a little envious. Jiang Ling’er’s luck was simply invincible; she was the kind of person who could find treasures just by walking down the road. In less than a month, she had experienced more than others would in an entire lifetime.
No wonder her strength had increased so dramatically since she’d last been on the mountain. She was already at the sixth level of the Golden Core realm, her cultivation progress no slower than that of Ji Zidian, who possessed a Sacred Body.
"Oh, right, Senior Brother! The new rankings from the Phoenix Perch Building are out! You’re at the top of the Venerables’ List," Jiang Ling’er suddenly said, as if just remembering.
"Is that so?" Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment before chuckling, though he wasn’t particularly surprised.
