Cohabitation with Sword Spirit-Chapter 163 - 133: Face Judgment, Heartbreaker!

Morning, October 19, 2017

Li Chaolu's blissful moment was interrupted by a cold snort.

"Ahem, let me remind you, training time has arrived."

With Wang Jiu's words, Li Chaolu instantly felt as if a cold spring had poured over her, dissipating the warm and pleasant atmosphere brought by Li Wanqing.

Only then did she realize, what was she doing just now!? Laughing and chatting with the famous Bai He Demoness, even talking about private matters of girls? And in front of Mr. Wang Jiu, had she gone mad!?

Thinking of this, Li Chaolu hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang Jiu, please don't misunderstand, I was just…" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Wang Jiu nodded: "Of course, you were merely indulging in familial affection and not wavering in your pursuit of Immortal Cultivation, so let's start training."

"No, I mean…"

However, before she could say more, Wang Jiu had already made the gesture to start training. Then, Li Chaolu's body involuntarily began to channel True Essence, locking her muscles and bones, performing one arduous movement after another, executing powerful Diffusion Circulation.

A new round of the "Whip of Love" officially began.

After more than a month of training, Li Chaolu had honed a precise reflex technique. Once Wang Jiu made a gesture, she could naturally dance along, channeling True Essence, with execution far superior to the top performers in a circus.

On the side, Li Wanqing watched with interest: "What an impressive special training method, no wonder Sister Chaolu progresses so fast. When I was cultivating at Yuqing Mountain, I heard that Sister Zhao Lu focuses on Hundred Flowers Swordsmanship, taking the late blossom route in the True Essence Realm, only reaching the mid Wind-Rising Realm at the start of the year. Yet today, she seems not far from the Cloud Surge Realm... Turns out, it's because of your guidance."

Wang Jiu asked, "Are you here to join the special training too?"

Li Wanqing shrugged: "Yes, although I've just refined the Yuqing Taoist Armor and should be resting for a month. But pretending to be a noble lady in the mansion is less appealing than cultivating with you. Honestly, when serving tea and greeting the elders in the morning, some of their old faces were so unbearable that I wanted to spit in the tea—oh, but given their twisted eccentricities, they'd probably enjoy it."

She raised her face with a bright smile: "So, Teacher Wang Jiu, is there anything you can teach me?"

Wang Jiu looked Li Wanqing up and down and said, "No."

"Hey, don't be stingy, I truly heard that your teaching ability is extraordinary, that's why I came. I heard not only Sister Chaolu, but also Little Sister Qingming, thanks to you, managed to advance from the Barrier-Breaking Stage to now the mid-late Wind-Rising Realm in just a few months. Even my teacher, Yuqing True Master, couldn't achieve such results, it's eye-opening, truly broadening my horizons."

Wang Jiu explained: "They are different from you, they already had deep accumulation, just lacking a breakthrough opportunity, plus their innate comprehension wasn't enough to fully explore their potential, allowing me to propel them rapidly. But you've reached the limit of your potential, and the cultivation techniques you practice don't align with mine. Unless you're willing to give up the Yuqing Taoist Armor and start rebuilding your Sword Path from the basics…"

Li Wanqing immediately waved her hand: "Forget it, the Yuqing Taoist Armor is my master's lifelong work, she entrusted this treasure to me, and I promised to purify it for her and reveal its colorful brilliance. So, switching paths and restarting Sword Path is out of the question. What a pity, missing out on Mr. Wang Jiu's Whip of Love."

On the other side, Li Chaolu's True Essence veered off course, collapsing on the spot.

——

Li Wanqing didn't join Wang Jiu's special training, yet she wouldn't leave either, stubbornly staying in the Sword Cave, munching on the exquisite tea snacks Li Chaolu prepared for Wang Jiu, while watching her fighting relentlessly with great interest, making Li Chaolu grit her teeth, only able to comfort herself with the Yuqing Immortal Dew in her arms, this wave not a loss.

Meanwhile, watching her sister, dressed in a luxurious gown, directing with exuberance, Li Chaolu couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.

Genius, prodigy… ever since she could remember, she often heard people around her say such words.

But these were not about her, rather about her sister, four years older, Li Wanqing.

Li Wanqing's growth path was more legendary than the tales in teahouse storybooks or the collections at their uncle's house.

She was the only genius in the Li Family Mansion who could rapidly grow without the family's resources. While other children used spirit grass baths costing thousands of gold, she was naturally born with divine power, her meridians innately unblocked. When most mansion disciples required magical treasures and spiritual objects to break through Qi barriers, she could control Qi into wind during a nap.

By 17, she had already attained the true essence realm at the peak of the Cloud Surge Realm and refined the Primordial Treasure Armor from Yuqing Mountain. Combined with her instinctive battle intuition, Li Chaolu couldn't imagine who could be her match in the same realm. As for her age group? At 17, it's considered a genius to even reach the Cloud Surge Realm, let alone advance through its stages which could take over a decade for some.

Even looking further in Xiangzhou's history, at 17, there were few with Li Wanqing's power today. Perhaps only the City Lord from the Zhao Family might be slightly better? No, even she might not be…

Li Chaolu couldn't understand why her mind was filled with thoughts of Sister Wanqing, especially when hearing Li Wanqing wanting to join the special training, her heart lifted, and later when Mr. Wang Jiu said she had maximized her potential purely with talent, needing no guidance, Li Chaolu's feelings became more complex.

However, at this moment, Li Wanqing chuckled: "Sister Chaolu, although True Essence circulation becoming a reflex is good, being distracted during cultivation easily leads to accidents."

Li Chaolu pouted a bit, thinking don't underestimating people, this past month, I've mastered the Divided Attention Technique, enduring Wang Jiu's Whip of Love while imagining post-marriage life with him, reaching the seventeenth episode with two kids in my mental theater!

Such talent, perhaps even you might not have!

Seeing her sister's expression, Li Wanqing's smile widened: "The accident I meant wasn't True Essence going astray, or Primordial Spirit shaking. Have you heard of the Bridge Effect? Simply put, when a man and a woman approach each other from ends of a suspension bridge, they're much more likely to fall for each other due to confusing emotions. Relating to you, thinking of your beloved while also of me, could make you unknowingly fall for me."

Li Chaolu at that moment felt her True Essence almost misroute.

Come on, who would unknowingly fall for you! I'm Wang Jiu's number one fan, as straight as the sword I wield!

"Some things are unpredictable, those girls who fell for me also thought they were straight before."

Why on earth do you know what I'm thinking without me speaking a word?

Li Wanqing glanced at the ghostfaced Li Chaolu nearby, laughing: "Because there are too many similar cases. If you don't believe, I can introduce my friends so you can share experiences of falling for Li Wanqing."

Like hell I want to exchange ideas on such things! Don't you blush mentioning these?

"Of course not, being loved by beautiful girls and reciprocating is one of the world's greatest joys, feeling ashamed is merely being bound by mundane morals."

How annoying! I completely do not want this kind of heart-to-heart with you!

Just as Li Chaolu was on the verge of emotional collapse, footsteps rang at the Sword Cave's entrance.

"Qingqing, you here?"

"Wanqing, don't hide, we know you're here."

The next moment, Li Wanqing's smile vanished, standing seriously, she asked Wang Jiu: "Is there a back door here?"

Wang Jiu pointed deeper into the Sword Cave: "If you mean an emergency escape route, then…"

"Understood, thanks."

Finished speaking, Li Wanqing waved to Wang Jiu, preparing to flee. But after a few steps, voices reached her from afar.

"Hey, this is the Sword Cave's back door? If we block this, she can't escape? Haha, Sister Yingying, you're amazing, finding even secret paths."

"Don't worry, she won't escape today."

Elsewhere, Li Wanqing turned to look at Wang Jiu again.

Wang Jiu, considering the situation, provided a sage conclusion based on his high IQ.

"You can't escape, resign to your fate."
