Chapter 780: Live as long as the heavens

If Su Xuan could break through to Ancestor Returning, then he would truly be a legendary master of Immortal Level.

And in the entire Huaxia Nation, there were only a handful of experts with a cultivation like Su Xuan’s, with most of them having left the Red Dust World long ago, either by secluding themselves in Immortal Mountain or by opening sects to become ancestral figures. Others focused solely on cultivation, intent on figuring out how to successfully cross the tribulation and achieve Ascension, to live as long as the heavens.

The reason Su Xuan hadn’t left the Mortal World was that he felt he was quite worldly himself. In such a colorful world, for someone like Su Xuan to give up a life filled with bright lights and merriment for bitter cultivation, he felt that he might as well not have this cultivation. “I desire to become an immortal, joyous as the sky,” was Young Master Su’s personal motto. Life should be lived happily, with beautiful women to behold when appropriate, and good food to enjoy when it’s time to eat.

Su Xuan had seen some who practiced bitter cultivation, who might spend years in a cave, drinking water when hungry, then meditating and cultivating. This was truly bitter cultivation, but it was something Su Xuan absolutely could not endure. Given a choice, he would rather live as an ordinary citizen.

Of course, another reason Su Xuan stayed in the Mortal World was that he felt unrest brewing. With his constantly increasing strength, he could sense the unsettling factors more acutely—a destructive power capable of annihilating the Huaxia civilization was rapidly approaching.

Su Xuan still hoped to prevent all of this, for after all, protecting one’s homeland was essential.

Liu Ruobing stood not far away, quietly watching Su Xuan with a faint smile on her lips. This enigmatic young man truly gave her a special feeling.

Over the past few days, Su Xuan had changed greatly in her eyes. At first, she thought he was very chauvinistic, utterly inconsiderate of others’ feelings, and then she saw him as a gambler. But gradually, she realized that Su Xuan wasn’t a gambler; his actions, though seemingly absurd, were actually deliberate.

Today, when Su Xuan faced the men of the Mysterious Nether Sect and deployed the Bagua Sword Array, Liu Ruobing was somewhat entranced as she watched the contest between Su Xuan and the Ghost King within the Sword Array. This godlike man, this repeatedly surprising man, was indeed very strange.

After the Ghost King was extinguished by Su Xuan and sent flying out of Taiping Village with a kick, the Barrier Sealing the village’s periphery was also shattered by that same kick from Su Xuan.

“Ye Kai, now you’ve become a godlike figure in the eyes of everyone in Taiping Village. I just heard them saying they want to carve a statue for you. How does that feel? Quite an achievement, huh!”

After leaving Taiping Village and on the road, Liu Ruobin said with a smile.

“Not really, hey, how can such a big village like Taiping not have even one beauty? You’d think with how cool I was deploying the Sword Array yesterday, at least a few beauties would give me some applause or something. It’s really too much of a letdown!”

Su Xuan complained, looking quite dejected, while Liu Ruobing, with a face full of black lines, kicked him and said,

“After all that, are you still hoping for a bevy of beauties to present you with flowers and kisses!”

Liu Ruobing was truly speechless with Su Xuan; he was quite the charmer, but just too fixated on beauties, never straying three sentences away from them. Was she not beautiful enough? At that moment, a troubling thought unbiddenly popped into Liu Ruobing’s mind.

“Well, if there’s a beautiful lady involved, I’m naturally very happy to help. The so-called hero saving the beauty, right? Don’t say I’m being realistic, but when have you ever seen a hero in the movies save a girl with buckteeth? Let me tell you, if this were a TV script, it would definitely be designed like this: in this mountain village, there’s a beautiful herb-gathering girl…”

Su Xuan was letting his imagination run wild as he spoke, while Liu Ruobing nearly spat out blood in frustration, thinking to herself, ‘Good lord, what kind of imagination is this? Why don’t you go write a book? You’re a freaking genius.’

However, hearing Su Xuan say this, Liu Ruobing couldn’t help but wonder if this beast, when saving her, was thinking of such a scenario too. At this thought, Liu Ruobing’s pretty face flushed red, and though she felt no repulsion, she surprisingly found herself filled with a warm feeling.

“Su Xuan, can you high-level experts actually fly?”

Liu Ruobing asked curiously, power, that’s the charm of power. She used to look down on those violent scenes, thinking they were uncouth, what with the times we live in and still resorting to such violence. But after witnessing Su Xuan’s abilities, Liu Ruobing didn’t think those scenes were uncouth anymore.

“Well, flying per se isn’t possible, but gliding through the air using energy is. Got Newton’s laws popping up in that little head of yours?”

Su Xuan said with a smirk, while Liu Ruobing, somewhat embarrassed, looked at Su Xuan and said softly, with her head lowered.

“I can’t help it, everyone used to call me a bookworm!”

You really can’t deny that you’re influenced by the company you keep, as the old saying goes, ‘One takes on the attributes of one’s associates’. This girl had been with Su Xuan for just one day, and she had already picked up the art of self-love.

After leaving Taiping Village, Su Xuan was taking Liu Ruobing to the town to catch a bus back to Coast City. Now there were two issues Su Xuan had yet to resolve: one was whether the shark incident was a coincidence or if Wang Zicong that bastard had made a move against him, and the other was the location of the Netherworld Sect’s stronghold, which Su Xuan was very concerned about.

“Here, take this!”

Walking along the road, Liu Ruobing suddenly handed a delicately made red string to Su Xuan. Curious, he took it and asked.

“What’s this?”

And true enough, this red string was quite something. In the middle of the cord were characters, not written but woven out of hair-thin threads, and amidst the blurriness, Su Xuan could make out the character for ‘fate’.

“That, that was a gift from Stone Mother, a keepsake! I forgot to give it to you earlier!”

Liu Ruobing said this with her pretty face blushing, instinctively tugging on the sleeve of her right hand. Su Xuan, smiling lightly, understood right away. Being an old hand at love, he could tell that these were probably paired, a kind of cultural product from Taiping Village. Su Xuan remembered that Stone Mother and her father both wore one on their arms.
