Super Invincible Immortal Doctor
Chapter 1151: Even-Steven

Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Even-Steven

The immense pressure came from all directions, and all the mana within Su Chengyu’s body was sealed away, even the connection to his Sea of Consciousness was directly cut off.

Since embarking on his cultivation journey, Su Chengyu had never experienced such a sensation.

Was this the strength of an Earth Immortal?

Su Chengyu had encountered Feng Jie Yu and had met with Master Cangqing, knowing that they were Earth Immortals and had even seen them in action.

He thought he had some understanding of the Earth Immortal Realm, but it was not until this moment that Su Chengyu realized he had overestimated himself.

Only when he truly felt the oppressive force of an Earth Immortal did he understand why this realm could be called divine!

Between mortals and immortals, the difference was vast as the heavens and the earth!

Forcibly adjusting his breathing and suppressing the shock in his heart, Su Chengyu looked up at the unchanging Onmyoji and spoke, "Senior White Fox, as a paramount Earth Immortal, surely you wouldn’t trouble yourself with a junior like me, right? Besides, I am not a genius like Long Xuan, why would you show such hostility towards me?"

White Fox chuckled softly, "Although you’re not a widely acclaimed talent like Long Xuan or Ye Qingci, after truly meeting you, I understand that your potential is absolutely no less than theirs."

Su Chengyu clenched his fist, still trying to connect with the Heaven-Mending Stone in his heart. Yet, just like his mana, the connection to the Heaven-Mending Stone seemed to have been cut off as well, and at this moment, Su Chengyu could only rely on himself to face this true Earth Immortal.

"Senior White Fox flatters me. I do have some ties with the Demon Slayer Department, but I definitely did not come here on their orders."

"I know that, but doesn’t Xia Country have an old saying? ’Better to kill ten thousand by mistake than to let one slip by.’"

A chill ran down Su Chengyu’s spine, and taking advantage of the moment, White Fox said, "If you want to live, it is possible. Submit to Dongying, and I can not only spare your life. I also guarantee that as long as you stay in Dongying, no one from Xia Nation can do anything to you."

The same words had been said to Su Chengyu by Shinazugawa Tengen, but the weight of them coming from the person in front of him was entirely different.

In Xia Nation, Su Chengyu had offended the Long family, and the order to apprehend Su Chengyu had even been approved by the Xia Nation Royal Family, giving him two months. After two months, if he did not return to Xia Nation, it would naturally be a slap in the face of the Royal Family.

Under such pressure, the assurances of Shinazugawa Tengen carried no credibility at all.

But White Fox was different; he was the master of the most powerful authority in Dongying, and his own strength was that of an Earth Immortal.

Dongying had been able to contend with Xia Nation for so many years, and the silent support provided by White Fox was self-evident. Since he could speak such words, it naturally wasn’t a simple attempt to deceive Su Chengyu.

However...

"Senior White Fox, I do not know what your intentions are, but do you truly think I would agree to your proposal?"

With his strength completely suppressed and unable to muster even the slightest bit of mana, Su Chengyu still spoke without any hesitation, "No hidden meanings, just pointing out a clear pathway for you, which is good for Dongying, as well as for you."

White Fox spoke lightly, then took a sip of the clear wine.

Su Chengyu frowned and said, "I don’t understand what you mean, Senior."

White Fox glanced at Su Chengyu and said, "Do you still remember when I said you were the third person that I knew of?"

Su Chengyu was startled and looked up again, "You mean the second person besides Senior, is my father?"

The White Fox smiled and nodded, "You are not foolish, so why are you so insistent on going back? Do you also want to follow in the footsteps of your grandfather and father? One met his demise, and the other disappeared without a trace."

Su Chengyu took a deep breath, "Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but there is an old saying in Xia Country, ’A gentleman has things he does, and things he does not do.’ I will naturally seek out the answer to what happened back then myself; that is what I need to do. And to align myself with Dongying... even if one day I, Su Chengyu, should find myself at odds with the entire Xia Country, it is absolutely something I would not do!"

Hearing Su Chengyu’s categorical refusal, the White Fox’s eyes suddenly drifted off into the distance, as though recalling something.

At that moment, the Mana seal beside Su Chengyu dissipated instantly, and Su Chengyu returned to normal.

"You truly are Su Zhedian’s son, just as stubborn as he was."

Su Chengyu blinked and said to the White Fox, "Senior, you have a past with my father?"

The White Fox chuckled lightly, glancing at Su Chengyu, "Given the disparity in status between your father and me, do you think any friendship could exist?"

Su Chengyu blinked; it was clear that the White Fox was from the Dongying Royal Family, and this obviously wouldn’t have been a recent development.

His own father had once been the pride of the Demon Slayer Department, so it was indeed unlikely for the two to have had any sort of friendship, except...

"Perhaps it’s unrelated to status?"

The White Fox chuckled and said, "You dare to guess. Don’t think too much, my meeting with your father was actually not too dissimilar from my initial intention of seeing you. Setting aside status, we exchanged a few words casually, and in the end, I did propose a personal transaction to him, but alas, I was turned down."

Su Chengyu blinked, guessing that the White Fox’s special treatment of him was probably related to this so-called personal request.

Taking up a cup of clear wine and taking a sip, Su Chengyu mustered his courage and spoke up, "Could I help you with this matter, senior White Fox?"

"You?" The White Fox chuckled lightly, sizing up Su Chengyu, and then laughed, "What, do you want me to have your children?"

Pfft!

The wine that was still in his mouth sprayed out directly, and the White Fox swept his hand, freezing the wine droplets in midair, before allowing them to fall onto the table. He then looked up at the utterly astonished Su Chengyu, a smile on his face.

Su Chengyu, in disbelief, said, "Senior White Fox, are you female?"

"The demon blood affects me much more than it does you, and having already attained the Earth Immortal Realm, my gender can be male or female. Don’t misunderstand, though; I had no sentimental feelings for your father. As I said, it was merely a transaction."

Now Su Chengyu understood, "Senior wanted to borrow my father to conceive a pure half-demon bloodline heir?"

"Yes, but unfortunately your father refused. Even though I exerted pressure on him with the status of an Earth Immortal, he still didn’t agree to that fleeting affair. Truly a man with no sense of fun. Not like you, you really have a way with things."

Su Chengyu’s face stiffened slightly as he said, "Senior may have misunderstood me..."

The White Fox gestured dismissively, "No need to explain, I’m not interested in those affairs of yours. I only wanted to present you with a choice this time. Since you have refused, then consider it as if I was never here. I’m leaving. You members of the Su family are all so rigid in your thinking, truly dull."

After these words, the White Fox had already risen and left the tavern. Su Chengyu didn’t even have a chance to say a word of farewell before the White Fox vanished from his sight.

In the sky, the White Fox dropped the jesting demeanor, looking indifferently upon Su Chengyu, yet the image in his mind was that of another person.

"Su Zhedian, from today on, I’ll owe you nothing."
