Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 369 - 309: Wu Luo True Monarch: Su Yuan Must Die!
Upon hearing this questioning, Su Yuan immediately started sweating profusely.
Judging from Qi Hanyan’s carefree attitude before entering the preparatory class, it’s clear that Wu Luo True Monarch doted on this daughter immensely.
How could a strict parent possibly let the heaven-defying "Wuji" colorful talent go unused?
Most likely, she would have been put through rigorous training day and night as soon as Qi Hanyan started school.
Under such special training and with the inexhaustible resources from Wu Luo True Monarch, Qi Hanyan would definitely become an existence akin to a Demon King.
Having a dozen or twenty golden talents is a given.
The title of the strongest Qi Cultivation cultivator is a given.
If she’s a bit cheeky, Wu Luo True Monarch might obtain one of the Foundation Establishment techniques of the Ten Great Immortal Sects through her good friend, and Qi Hanyan’s cultivation might even reach the fifth or sixth level of Foundation Establishment before attending the preparatory class.
This is the development path that a second generation immortal, born with a world-class talent and background at the peak of the Federation, should have.
But Qi Hanyan did not take this path; instead, she happily went through each stage before adulthood.
Therefore, from this aspect, Wu Luo True Monarch’s dissatisfaction with him is genuine, not a joke at all.
What... what should he do?
He can’t possibly make me take on a Nascent Soul Peak.
Amidst the gradually tense atmosphere, Qi Hanyan proactively spoke up, her pretty face full of earnestness:
"Mom, please don’t say that about Su Yuan."
"And your choice of words is really inappropriate! What do you mean by manipulation? It sounds like Su Yuan did something to me."
"We’re clearly just simple friends and have a money transaction relationship, that’s all."
The gaze of Wu Luo True Monarch slowly shifted from Su Yuan to her own daughter with a slightly amused smile.
Qi Hanyan immediately felt a mountain of pressure.
However, she did not back down, and her tone became increasingly solemn:
"Moreover, Su Yuan said he asked me to work overtime and said he would punish me, but it was actually for my own good."
"Under his daily supervised special training, my swordsmanship has improved significantly, and I’ve awakened a pretty good Sword Dao talent."
"My alchemy skill has also improved greatly, and it seems my Alchemy Dao talent has undergone a transformation due to continuous honing over time..."
Hearing the pink-haired girl volunteer to exonerate him, Su Yuan felt deeply gratified.
As expected of my Pill Hall Master, I wasn’t wrong to care for you!
But the way you praise me makes me a little embarrassed; all the special training I put you through wasn’t entirely for your benefit, there was a tiny bit of exploitation.
Of course, that "tiny bit" doesn’t need to be mentioned to Wu Luo True Monarch.
Wu Luo True Monarch listened quietly, her expression easing slightly.
However, Qi Hanyan’s next sentence made her face darken again.
"Also, recently Su Yuan often crushes me with the Thousand Ton King. Although I end up bruised all over, I feel increasingly energetic... perhaps I’ve awakened some related talent?"
No, my friend, there’s no need to mention such trivial matters.
Su Yuan rolled his eyes furiously in his heart.
You really can’t be relied on; are you trying to persuade your mom to beat me to death?
When Wu Luo True Monarch’s eyes, filled with evil Qi, turned towards him, Su Yuan had no choice but to brace himself and explain:
"I... I’m exploring Qi Hanyan’s resistance to injury and death, to prevent her from getting into trouble when faced with danger."
Su Yuan’s words weren’t a lie.
Thanks to his day-by-day efforts, Qi Hanyan’s newly awakened talent [Resilient King] had already evolved to purple, not far from reaching golden.
Isn’t this talent more powerful than any life-saving ability?
It’s just that Su Yuan has the Sea of Blood and top-level head sensitivity, so he’s not envious of this ability.
Moreover, if it ever truly comes to using the [Resilient King] talent, he can "borrow" it from Qi Hanyan through the Human Pill.
After staring at Su Yuan for quite a while, Wu Luo True Monarch didn’t say a word but turned and walked in another direction.
Su Yuan felt as though he’d been granted a great pardon.
But before he could catch his breath, he saw Wu Luo True Monarch walking straight towards the Sword Dao Department’s elite class.
Very soon, she stopped in front of a twin-tailed girl with flowing hair.
Who else could it be but Chen Nuoyi?
Su Yuan inhaled sharply.
Could it be... Wu Luo True Monarch is now going for collective punishment?
Speaking of which, it seemed like Chen Nuoyi had also put Qi Hanyan through quite a bit of special training; could she also be on the mother’s blacklist?
Oh, come on! If there’s anything, come at me, please?
Fortunately, things weren’t as bad as Su Yuan had imagined.
Contrary to what anyone had anticipated, the scene that unfolded next was completely unexpected by everyone present.
Wu Luo True Monarch extended her hand, gently touching Chen Nuoyi’s head, as if treating her own daughter.
This scene left not only Su Yuan but even Qi Hanyan, the legitimate daughter, somewhat dumbfounded.
Why is there an inexplicable feeling of being sidelined by someone else’s child? What is this all about?
In response, Chen Nuoyi was naturally a bit stunned. She asked cautiously:
"Senior Wu Luo, you are..."
Wu Luo True Monarch said calmly:
"Your ancestor was once a close friend of mine and the Star River Celestial Monarch. Before his passing, he entrusted me with a matter."
"To wait for a Chen Family descendant who could break the Dragon Blood Curse, and then I would guide her onto the right path to achieve Divinity Transformation."
"After my observations in both overt and covert ways, it’s clear you have already broken the Dragon Blood Curse. You have the opportunity to complete your ancestor’s unfinished work... I will become your mentor and point the way for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience fell silent.
Previously, the high-level members of Evil Extermination University thought that Wu Luo True Monarch’s visit to University City, with a specific request for the major first-year preparatory classes to receive her, was to see her own daughter.
But now it seems that’s not all.
At least coming to take Chen Nuoyi as a disciple was one of her purposes here.
The high-level members of Evil Extermination University couldn’t help but pay a bit more attention to Chen Nuoyi.
According to Wu Luo True Monarch, the Chen Family in Taihua City not only has her connections but also the connections of the Star River Celestial Monarch.
That Star River Celestial Monarch is the founder of the Star River Dao Sect, and also a Divinity Transformation friend of Wu Luo True Monarch.
"You... want to take me as a disciple?"
Chen Nuoyi was somewhat incredulous.
She had never heard her father or grandfather mention that the Chen Family had such a relationship with Wu Luo True Monarch.
Perhaps they didn’t know either?
"Are you willing?"
Wu Luo True Monarch asked with a smile.
Chen Nuoyi instinctively looked at Taibai Phecda.
Taibai Phecda coughed lightly and said:
"Nuoyi, although I have taught you for a while, you are different from Su Yuan. We have not formally established a master-disciple relationship, so you need not worry."
Hearing this explanation, the girl felt a slight relief.
However, she still didn’t rush to acknowledge the mentorship. Instead, she first earnestly bowed to Wu Luo True Monarch and said:
"Senior Wu Luo, I am willing to become your disciple, but I ask you to agree to one request."
The people around were speechless upon hearing this.
You really don’t recognize a good chance, do you, little girl?
A Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch’s friend wants to take you as a True Disciple, and you’re still hesitating?
If you don’t want to be a True Monarch’s disciple, could you please let someone else take the spot?
Fortunately, Wu Luo True Monarch was not angry. She seemed to have anticipated this, nodding slightly and said:
"Go ahead."
"Please... Senior Wu Luo, don’t blame Su Yuan anymore because of Qi."
Chen Nuoyi said solemnly, braving the pressure of facing a Peak Nascent Soul Great Power.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but be taken aback, and then his heart warmed.
And the reaction of Wu Luo True Monarch to this request was also unexpected.
This elegant and intellectual red-haired lady rolled her eyes dramatically and said with a face of exasperation:
"Alright, alright."
This Nascent Soul True Monarch, ranked among the top three in the Federation with 400 years of experience, was feeling quite complicated at that moment.
Honestly speaking, her dissatisfaction with Su Yuan was never because he oppressed her daughter.
She’s not a brainless villain who can’t distinguish right from wrong. She knows very well how important Su Yuan is to her daughter.
Without Su Yuan’s guidance, Qi Hanyan would have become a lazy deadbeat a long time ago, a situation where she’d be doomed without Su Yuan.
But the more this is the case, the more Wu Luo True Monarch is displeased with Su Yuan.
A person so important to her daughter, yet the person he likes isn’t her daughter—where can she reason with that?
If Su Yuan liked someone else, Wu Luo True Monarch would dare to play the villain and break them up.
But the person is Chen Nuoyi, the descendant of a dear friend.
In search of someone who could break the Dragon Blood Curse, Wu Luo True Monarch had been very attentive to the Chen Family for over three hundred years.
The direct lineage of the Chen Family has always passed down a single heir. After the death of Chen Nuoyi’s mother, the only direct descendant left for Wu Luo True Monarch to focus on was Chen Nuoyi.
Every step of Chen Nuoyi’s growth has been watched by her, almost like raising a daughter.
Thus, even though today was their first meeting, Wu Luo True Monarch was very fond of Chen Nuoyi, treating her like a daughter was not just an expression.
So here’s the problem.
Both are dearly cherished, how does one choose?
A or B?
Wu Luo True Monarch chooses "or."
Su Yuan deserves to be killed!
