The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 197 - 201: The Blissful Life of the Rich Second Generation (Part 12)
Chapter 197: Chapter 201: The Blissful Life of the Rich Second Generation (Part 12)
"Su Li," you’ve got some nerve, stirring up one incident after another. Have you not considered the consequences?"
Upon seeing Su Li, Su Xun blasted her with a tirade.
The previously cheerful kid was so frightened by Su Xun’s fierce scolding that his lips quivered miserably, and he valiantly fought back the tears threatening to fall.
Su Li felt a piercing heartache at the sight, and her face immediately fell.
"What’s with the wailing and howling? Can’t you see you’re scaring the kid? With your attitude, no wonder you’re eternally single."
A hit directly to the heart...
As the Sect Leader of Joy Sect, a place where men and women are known for their unruly and free love, he had not even found someone to hold hands with. This... this was indeed a disgraceful matter.
After his annoyance subsided, Su Xun’s probing and sharp gaze thoroughly scanned Su Li from head to toe.
Although it had been over forty years since Su, his junior sister, married to Kunlun Mountain, and although they sporadically exchanged letters, he was certain that Su did not possess such an overbearing and resolute character.
The commotion she caused had people turned upside down, yet she appeared nonchalant. This was definitely not something his gentle and soft junior sister could have done.
However, the moment Su Xun’s gaze shifted to the small child in Su Li’s arms, his train of thought was abruptly cut off.
Perhaps... perhaps now he could understand...
A trace of guilt immediately surfaced on Su Xun’s face, though what he concocted in his mind was unknown.
"Junior sister, it’s my fault for neglecting you before, always knowing that you only share good news and not troubles. I thought you were living well on Kunlun Mountain, but I never expected..."
Su Xun grinded his teeth as he spoke, "It was Kunlun Mountain who came to our door sincerely requesting your hand in marriage back then. Their lack of propriety really shows they don’t take Joy Sect seriously at all."
Su Li added coldly, "Well, it’s not like they’ve disregarded us completely."
Su Xun’s indignant expression immediately stiffened, and he sheepishly said, "Why remind me? Always speaking blunt truths."
Was it not their master, the Divine Separation Ancestor, who had passed on a decade ago? Otherwise, Kunlun Mountain wouldn’t dare to disregard them so.
As much as Su Xun had objections to Xu Huaiying getting married to a female disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect so swiftly a year ago, he had only excused himself from attending the wedding feast; he didn’t dare to say more.
It was said that marriage had even received the blessing of Xu Huaiying’s master, the Sword Immortal.
Su Xun, despite his dissatisfaction, dared not question the decisions of a Divine Separation Ancestor.
After a moment of silence, Su Xun, scratching his head in irritation, asked Su Li, "What do you plan to do?"
"The Immortal Sword Sect has issued a decree demanding I hand you over, or else we will be considered their enemies. Moreover, the Sword Immortal has sent a token, expressing his dissatisfaction with you, making it clear that if I don’t deal with you properly, from now on, our Joy Sect will be considered the enemy of both him and Kunlun Mountain..."
As Su Xun continued, he grabbed at his hair again, which made Su Li worry—if he kept this up, she reckoned he might end up bald. She wondered if there was any Spiritual Medicine in the Cultivation World that could regrow hair.
"How come you’ve become such a troublemaker now?"
Su Li glanced over coolly, "Are you saying I should have endured?"
Su Xun quite agreed and nodded, "Indeed, indeed, things like this are absolutely intolerable. The word is spreading about how Xu Huaiying got involved with Hong Qingqing while you were trapped in the Small Secret Realm, unsure if you were dead or alive. And that secret pregnancy, it’s outrageously shameless. To think the Sword Immortal still has the face to express dissatisfaction with me, without looking at the disgraceful acts his own favored disciple has committed."
Su Xun babbled nonstop, his headache growing more intense by the minute.
Before Su Li returned to the Mountain Gate, the Immortal Sword Sect and Kunlun Mountain were putting pressure on her, one by one. She managed to fend them off for the time being, yet feigning compliance wouldn’t hold for long.
Seeing Su Xun all flustered and rushed, Su Li slowly said, "You really don’t have to fear them, just push back."
While speaking, she removed the disguise of her original cultivation level, and the aura of a Mahayana Realm Great Cultivator swept through every corner of the Joy Sect’s entire mountaintop.
Whether disciples were engaged in alchemy, meditating, or even the spiritual beasts kept within the Mountain Gate, all were startled by this aura and trembled uncontrollably.
And Su Xun, who faced the aura head-on, felt the most visceral impact. Although Su Li kept her aura contained within a certain range, Su Xun’s knees involuntarily fell straight to the ground.
"Mahayana Realm... Ancestor..."
Once Su Li retracted her aura, disciples who had hidden in their rooms came out one by one, exchanging glances and warily emerged wielding their weapons.
"Was that an enemy attack?"
That kind of terrifying pressure that arose from the depths of one’s soul was truly despairing.
"You fool, if it were really an enemy attack, with that Great Power, a mere glance would’ve annihilated us all. There would be no chance for you to be here whining."
After his initial shock, Su Xun felt immense joy. With a trembling voice and disbelieving, his narrow eyes widened to their limits, hesitantly pondering whether to approach or not, "Tea-, Teacher..."
"What’s your current level of cultivation?"
Su Li smiled and said, "I had some serendipity in the Small Secret Realm, as you see, Mahayana Realm."
"Wow..."
Xu Qingchuan, the little boy, also let out a cry of amazement. Though young, he knew a thing or two about general knowledge from the chaotic mix of information at Kunlun Mountain’s Outer Disciples area. fгeewebnovёl.com
The Mahayana Realm should be a very formidable existence, much more powerful than his father, the Nascent Soul Cultivator, whom people respected.
Su Li amusingly watched young Xu Qingchuan’s astonished expression and happily pinched his still slender cheek, resolving to fatten up the little boy in the days to come—children were cuter when chubby.
"Mother is amazing, isn’t she?"
Little Qingchuan clapped his hands and said loudly, "Amazing, so Mom, does this mean I can walk around like those disciples say, with swagger?"
Su Xun repeatedly nodded like a pecking chicken, his tone brimming with undisguised excitement, "Yes, yes, not just swaggering, you could even walk around lying down if you wanted."
"Then, Brother, you can go and reject those people now."
Su Xun rubbed his hands continually, his handsome face contorted into an unseemly expression, almost too painful to watch.
"I’ll go right now. These bastards have been bullying our sect because they think we have no one, now I’ll scare them to death."
"Hehe, now we’ve got someone powerful to rely on, huh..."
After speaking, Su Xun ran off like a gust of wind.
Watching Su Xun’s behavior, Su Li seized the opportunity to give the little one a lesson, "Don’t follow your Master Uncle’s example; he lacks steadiness."
"In the future, you can do whatever you wish, and as long as it doesn’t violate your principles, I can make the decisions for you."
Little Xu Qingchuan looked confused but still happily said, "Just like being here, happy and carefree."
"Yes... that’s right..."
