Chapter 134: I Have A Bold Idea
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
When Li Xianyu woke up at 3 A.M., he opened his eyes in a dark room. The bed beside him was glowing with a faint light. He tried to move but every cell in his body was moaning in anguish. Every meridian was trembling, and Li Xianyu was grumbling with pain.
“You’re awake!” a melodious voice rang. Li Xianyu turned to see Great-Grandma.
So the one sleeping on the bed beside him was Great-Grandma. Li Xianyu had thought he was Liu Kongchao, and speculated that he was used to the hospital room in the Changsha branch. He had to lie on the bed for several days each time he finished his assignment.
Something was bound to happen to him in every mission and it was a given that he would have to lie on a bed after every mission. No one would believe him even if he said he didn’t have a constitution that attracted misfortune.
Li Xianyu did not know how long he had slept, but felt that he woke up weaker than any other time before. A sudden outburst of pain surged in his head.
“Were we rescued? How lucky, I knew I was favored by the Heavens. I wouldn’t die,” Li Xianyu muttered and turned his head. He saw his great-grandmother’s small body curled up, covered with a thin blanket. Her delicate and beautiful face was illuminated by the light of her mobile phone. Her long eyelashes were depicted clearly in the light and her eyes were shining.
It’s nice to wake up and have a loved one around. It was a long night and Gran was the only one to accompany him.
“Do you remember what you did?” Great-Grandma didn’t look up and asked casually.
Li Xianyu tried hard to remember. He only recalled that him and Thunderbolt Battle Lady went to save his great-grandmother, and then was somehow kidnapped… As he tried harder to recall, he found out that his memories were in fragments.
Great-Grandma said, “You slept for two days, and I’ve been helping you out with the chaotic mass of qi in your body. You’re a little weak but probably fine. By the way, condense your qi in your core, you will get a big surprise.”
Li Xianyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and followed according to what his great-grandma said, condensing the qi in his core. He was shocked to discover that his qi was infinitely thicker. It was thin and weak previously, like a thin metal wire. But now, the qi in his core was like a strong steel bar.
Refined and pure!
“This…” Li Xianyu was stunned.
“After I scoured through the qi in your body, I found it. I tried to guide it out but it quickly recovered as if it had been condensed by yourself.” Great-Grandma explained, “Even a well-qualified demon descendant would take a year and a half to condense such pure qi. And with your original gift, it’ll take at least five years.”
How could this be? With a feeling of apprehension and surprise, he lifted his blanket and got out of bed. He switched on the light of his room, found his wallet in the closet opposite the bed and touched the laser sword handle. Filling it with qi, the sword handle spewed out a half-meter long sword, and the burning smell distorted the air.
“It’s not three centimeters…” Li Xianyu’s face visibly lit up. From now on, he was no longer a man of three centimeters. He could finally hold a laser sword, like the dwarf in Star Wars, and draw his sword in a dignified manner to face the enemy.
Feeling Li Xianyu’s joy, the monster in his left arm was awakened. The dark skin bulged with blood vessels, and the whole arm looks alive.
Slime tutted. “Kid, you are lucky. Do you know that you were so close to falling into the abyss and die?”
“So, it was all because of you that Demonic Priest Wangchen aided the Japanese in the past and had a big personality difference,” Li Xianyu stated solemnly. After hearing Great-Grandma describe his insanity, Li Xianyu had guessed that this entity was a double-edged sword that would inspire all sorts of evil thoughts and negative emotions. It would drive his hosts into madness by encouraging them.
He was the best example. After stepping into the demon descendants community, everyone roared in his ear, “You are Li Wuxiang’s son. If you don’t want to die, hand over the treasure and tell us the location of the Great Deities Palace.”
Everyone had malicious intentions and the whole world wanted him dead. Just as they wanted Li Wuxiang to die, Li Wuxiang could only die. In fact, he did die once.
How would Li Xianyu not hold murderous intent? That was immediately exploited by Slime. If Great-Grandma hadn’t had the means to resist him, it would have been really dangerous that night.
If even he had succumbed, how about the Demonic Priest? He was born in a war-torn era, and had to survive in utter chaos. The mountains and rivers were in ruins as artillery fire broke out all over the world. His motherland gave a painful groan under the iron hoof of the Japanese bandits, and the negative emotions of the Demonic Priest who had witnessed all of these was surely many times stronger than him.
Slime chuckled and did not provide any explanations.
“What’s going on with the qi in my body? It’s completely unscientific that it surged by such a huge expanse. Tell me, is this your backup plan?” Li Xianyu smacked his left arm.
“We are one. It hurts you if you hit me.” Slime smirked coldly, then said, “This qi is yours. I’ve extracted pure qi from the chaos of qi you ingested. The world knows that Wangchen obtained a treasure from the Great Deities Palace and rose in fame. But they never knew how. Now you know.”
Li Xianyu was shook. So that’s how it was, that’s how it was…
According to the historical records, Demonic Priest Wangchen was a Taoist disciple in Zhongnan Mountains. At the end of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, he went down to the mountains with the seniors and juniors of the division to assist the Nationalist forces in resisting Japanese aggression. After the fall of Changsha, he went missing. When he was seen once again by the world, he was already an incredibly powerful man…
Of course he would become a powerful man. As long as one just ingested qi, they could feed themselves through Slime. Li Xianyu only swallowed it once, and he’s been through the training of a qi cultivator genius for more than a year, and five years with his own caliber.
This was overpowering!
No wonder the sword of qi has such a vast amount of qi, as if it was endless. This was the reason behind it.
He walked up to the window and pulled the curtain open. The city was still gorgeous in the morning, and the lights never went out. Li Xianyu took a deep breath and shouted, “I’m going to rise!”
He had to roar to calm his excitement, like it was depicted in an old movie, where Zhang Wuji was taught the right way to use the Nine Suns Technique by Huogong Toutuo. He who carried a lot of vengeance let out a skyward roar due to his agitation.
Great-Grandma who was startled, patted her ample chest and rolled her eyes at her great grandson by the window.
“At this point, if I hadn’t been broken and greed was still there, I would have been able to control you,” Slime said regretfully.
“Hadn’t been broken?” Li Xianyu’s gaze flickered and glanced down at it.
Slime kept silent, knowing he had misspoke.
“Even though it’s a nuisance, it would be a great help if you use it properly. Don’t worry about using unorthodox means. You don’t have time to take the right path. The more unorthodox means you take, the faster your strength advances. What other role does it have to play besides ingesting qi?” Great-Grandma asked.
There’s sexual desire too.
Looking down at his left hand, Li Xianyu looked up at his great-grandmother’s curves, and his brain short-circuited. “Great-Grandma, I have a bold idea that you can experience in person.”
Great-Grandma glared at him, her voice cold. “If it’s sexual desire, I’ve touched it already. It won’t work for me. If you want to try again, sure, but I’ll slap you to death.”
Li Xianyu took a step back and retracted his words immediately. “I choose to retain my bold ideas.”
He was not surprised that sexual desire was ineffective when it came to Great-Grandma. She was too powerful due to her identity of a peak Gokudo Master. She was also physically different, thus it was perfectly understandable that she was immune to “orgasm with a touch.”
Li Xianyu will not admit that he is a little disappointed.
Slime said, “Great-Grandma, kill your unfilial great-grandson. I’ll be your great-grandson.”
Li Xianyu spat out, “Pft, scram. You, a plug-in, wants to usurp my position?”
Great-Grandma frowned. “But it’s a hidden danger. This guy’s a devious thief. Don’t let your guard down. We have to be ready to get rid of him at any time. Lee Xianyu, can you die again?”
Li Xianyu recalled the Demonic Priest and understood Great-Grandma’s meaning. “Are you saying that I could get rid of it once I die?”
Great-Grandma nodded.
“But I can’t. I know about my own powers. Despite the strength of self-healing, I have a hunch that if I die again, I really would die and can’t revive again.” Li Xianyu shook his head.
Demon descendants were familiar with their abilities, like how they were used to their hands and feet. No one would think they coild use their hands to block a nuclear bomb. Now that Li Xianyu had said so himself, it meant that it may not be possible.
Great-Grandma pondered for a while and sighed softly. “That’s true. If you can come back to life again and again, then it’s not a superpower. Then your father wouldn’t have died.”
Li Xianyu looked at her. Even after so many years, his great-grandma was still upset about what had happened in the past.
Staring at her gorgeous face, Li Xianyu was in a trance. This girl was both caring and heartless. She could do whatever it took and even shatter her own spirit bead. But she would also abandon him once the Li family had an heir.
Perhaps in her mind, Li Xianyu was just like her five successors. He was just a passing guest of her never-aging, eternal time.
Li Xianyu walked over, sat by the bed and stared at her for a long time. “Great-Grandma…”
“Hmm?” Great-Grandma seemed to be reading a novel, and she didn’t even look up.
“If, I mean if.” Li Xianyu asked, “If I were killed, would you avenge me?”
Great-Grandma nodded. “I would annihilate his whole clan,” she said, reaching out her little hand to pat her great-grandson’s head in a gesture of comfort.
Li Xianyu added, “What if I had an heir?”
Great-Grandma finally raised her head, and the two looked at each other silently. A moment later, she furrowed her brow. “You want to get married?”
Li Xianyu’s serious face fell. “Forget it.”
He felt that his attitude was a little bit wrong. Why did he suddenly ask his Great-Grandma the question? Was he so jealous of his ancestors over the ages that he was determined to be the only one that was favored by Great-Grandma?
“Do you have illicit relations with that long-legged woman?” Great-grandma stared into his eyes.
The long-legged woman she was referring to should be Thunderbolt Battle Lady. Out of all the women he knew, she had the longest legs. “No. Why would Battle Lady like me? She likes a man with a rich and generous wealth, and I’m just a broke man.”
Even if that was true, they could love openly. Great-Grandma was uncultured and used such inappropriate terms loosely. It was like him and Thunderbolt Battle Lady were in a secret affair that could not be known by others.
“That’s for the best. That woman is a mixed-blood and not one of our Chinese. You cannot marry her,” Great-Grandma said.
“Mixed-blood races are beautiful and have a good figure. Look at her legs and her perky buttocks. It would be good to have a son. Great-Grandma, if I have a daughter in the future, can she inherit you?”
“You brat. The Westerners killed our Chinese people, and looted our money. If you dare to marry the mixed-blood, I will break your legs.” When mentioning the Westerners, Great-Grandma became exceptionally abrasive.
Xianyu was a science student and knew nothing about history. But despite his lack of knowledge of history, he knows more or less about the humiliating period of late Qing dynasty. Thus, he understood his great-grandma and didn’t argue with her.
For him, it was a history that needed to be remembered but did not need to be taken seriously. For Great-Grandma, it could be a sad memory of the country’s demise.
In the middle of the night, there’s nothing to talk about.
Great-Grandma continued to look at her phone, immersed in the novel. She said nonchalantly, “Sleep soon. You just woke up and need rest. Remember to go and see your colleagues tomorrow, they need your blood to survive.”
“They didn’t draw my blood?” Li Xianyu was incredulous.
“You were in a bad state at this time, and I didn’t agree, so they wouldn’t dare draw your blood.” Great-Grandma said, “But the God of Ape’s situation seems very bad and seems to be hanging on his last breath. Your mixed-race beauty is seriously injured and lying in the bed, and we just ended her emergency rescue today. The others are fine. Their injuries are severe but there’s no risk of death.”
