I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 296. Staff Officer
Chapter 296: 296. Staff Officer
After seeing the guests off and coming back, the atmosphere at home became a bit odd.
Xia Weiyun’s face was so red it could almost fry an egg, her hands had no place to rest, and she dared not face the gaze of a family of three siblings.
"Cough cough..." She cleared her throat and said,
"Don’t listen to my master’s nonsense, that old antique just likes to play with arranged marriages, what era is it already..."
Lu Li respected this elder sister very much, so he assured her, "It’s alright, I’ll decline True Master Li tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xia Weiyun’s mouth puckered up, and she appeared somewhat resentful... Then she suddenly realized with alarm:
Regarding the arranged marriage, she wasn’t opposed to it at all!
Her emotions were a mix of shyness and awkwardness, but there was decidedly no "anger." She honestly stayed, as if hoping for something...
But on second thought, even her own master had taken a liking to this man at first glance, and their temperaments matched well. It was normal for her to react this way.
[You really have some nerve!]
Xia Weiyun cursed herself in her mind with a red face, not daring to think any more about it, and quickly said,
"Let’s go~ I’ll give you some advice on Martial Arts cultivation."
With that, she took the lead and walked into the courtyard.
Wanqing and Xiao Cha watched her departing figure, understanding her thoughts completely.
As women themselves, how could they not know what that shy, anxious demeanor signified.
Only Lu Li was completely unaware, happily following her out.
In the courtyard, Xia Weiyun crouched and reached out with her hands in a supportive stance.
Xiao Cha went first to grip hands with her, exerting force against each other, thereby testing their cultivation.
As their eyes met, Xiao Cha’s gaze revealed teasing and jest.
Xia Weiyun’s face couldn’t hold up any longer, and with a fierce burst of strength, she threw Xiao Cha out.
She was close to reaching Innate level; her cultivation was naturally much higher. At that moment, she commented,
"60,000 catties of strength, not bad! But you need to be able to use that strength. Train more in ’explosive power,’ be like a fierce tiger, not a slow ox."
This comment was also very enlightening for Lu Li.
Martial Arts cultivation with tens of thousands of catties of force was all "raw strength." The most important in a fight was explosive power; you need to unleash damage in an instant.
Everyone’s reactions and movement techniques were quick; if the charging time for moves and spells took more than a second, it would almost be impossible to land a hit.
"Those Spell techniques from Ling Gui are all instantly cast; previous enemies were the same, not a single one held back their strength for a major move."
As he pondered, Lu Li also walked forward to grip hands with Sister Xia.
When their skin touched, Xia Weiyun’s face reddened, and she exerted more strength, causing Lu Li to stumble.
"Young brother, you only have over 40,000 catties of strength, your foundation is quite shallow. It seems it’s due to advancing too quickly."
Seeing this, Xia Weiyun didn’t care about looking embarrassed anymore and quickly examined Lu Li, saying,
"The two of you are 1/3 apart in strength because Xiao Cha has ten more years of tempering muscles and bones. In the coming days, young brother, you need to train your muscles and forge your bones for two hours daily to make up for the foundation!"
Lu Li nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, Sister Xia. I will practice my punches every day."
Xia Weiyun was fully engaged, and she also took a look at Wanqing, saying,
"For the girl helped by the Spirit Mechanism, Marrow Cleansing will be effortless. No need to wait, just break through directly, since Marrow Cleansing is more nourishing."
"Thank you for the guidance, Sister Xia."
Wanqing said her thanks, her eyes flickering as if she was calculating something.
After all, coming from a great Sect with Classical Training, Xia Weiyun also took it to heart and gave thorough advice to Lu Li’s family.
Everyone gradually let go of the awkwardness, as if they had forgotten about the arranged marriage.
But suddenly Wanqing asked, "Sister Xia, there’s something I don’t understand—why are you a nun?"
Lu Li and Xiao Cha were also very interested in this question and perked up their ears.
"About that..." Xia Weiyun smiled and said,
"The Daoist Sect doesn’t forbid marriage; being surrounded by a bunch of persistent admirers was too annoying. Plus, my master always wanted to marry me off and even sought an Azure Dragon for an alliance marriage..."
At this point, Xia Weiyun glanced at Lu Li and quickly added,
"That person was too arrogant. I didn’t fancy him, and we barely spoke a few words."
After explaining a bit and feeling it was too deliberate, she hurriedly said,
"Later, it happened that I came across the True Inheritor of the Hengshan Sect’s ’Tathagata Divine Palm.’ I just decided to play the part of a nun for fun, both to enjoy the tranquility and to study the Divine Skill more efficiently."
"Tathagata Divine Palm! The signature skill of Xuankong Temple!"
Hengshan Sect is actually Xuankong Temple, but people are more accustomed to calling it by the name of Beiyue.
Seeing Xiao Cha’s eyes shining with curiosity, Xia Weiyun said with a smile,
"This skill is a 3-in-1 combination of striking, practicing, and nourishing, and it can work all 720 acupoints throughout the body. It’s really powerful!"
Xiao Cha’s mouth formed an ’o’, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Xia Weiyun said affectionately, "You need to have achieved ’Zuowang Innate’ to use it, and you must also have a certain level of Buddhist attainment, but I can start teaching you."
"Ah~ This is so embarrassing," Xiao Cha scratched her head and said, "Also, is it really okay to casually learn someone else’s ultimate skill?"
Xia Weiyun laughed and said, "It’s fine. Buddhism and Daoism are naturally at odds, and the Hengshan Sect has been beaten by the Hua Mountain Sect to the point where they’re afraid to leave their doors. Just go ahead and learn it."
Lu Li listened from the side and remarked, "The Five Mountains aren’t exactly harmonious..."
"Of course not," said Xia Weiyun,
"All the Five Mountains Sects want to devour each other’s Spirit Realms. When my master informed the Autumn Goose Golden Man to withdraw from the Spirit Realm, there was also the intention to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf."
Lu Li immediately understood; they wanted to drag the major forces like the Five Mountains Sect into the fray, to compete with the Cloud People for the "Changbai Spirit Realm." freewebnσvel.cѳm
"These strong individuals... all like to use their brains."
After some conversation, Lu Li gained a lot of insight.
And before they knew it, the sun was almost setting.
"It’s getting late; I should head back."
Looking at the sky, Xia Weiyun said,
"Lu Li, come to the National Martial Arts Association early tomorrow morning to discuss our future plans. It’s not safe to stay in Jinmen anymore. Though Golden Court is like a wall that everyone pushes when it’s about to fall, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, so we should avoid the limelight for now."
Lu Li nodded, and Xia Weiyun waved her hand to leave.
At that moment, Wanqing suddenly spoke up:
"If the marriage alliance doesn’t work out, husband won’t be able to get the ’Qi Observation Skill’, nor the Magic Door to break through to ’Manifesting Saint.’"
It wasn’t just about the "Qi Observation Skill"; Lu Li’s next goal was to break through to "Manifesting Saint," and that was the most important thing.
Such high-level skills cannot be found in texts. The most convenient way to acquire them would undoubtedly be to ask the Dragon Sect.
Hearing these words, Xia Weiyun stopped in her tracks and turned back, looking at Lu Li hesitantly...
Lu Li, full of handsome resolve,
"Sister Xia, don’t worry. I’ll figure out a way to handle these little difficulties myself. I definitely won’t put you in a difficult position. Tomorrow, I’ll tactfully refuse Daoist Li!"
"..."
The three women went silent for a while, and Xia Weiyun laughed dryly, nodding her head, then quickly departed.
Wanqing and Xiao Cha looked at their man with peculiar expressions.
"What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Li was completely oblivious, wrapped his arms around the waists of both women, and said,
"I’ve reached ’Refining the Soul’, and according to our agreement, it’s time we shared a bed. Let’s go~"
Xiao Cha pushed his hand away and said, "Share a bed with you? I never agreed to that!"
"Hey~ You said it yourself when I came back..."
"Did you get it in writing?"
Hands on her hips and rolling her eyes, Xiao Cha had an air of languidness.
"Don’t even think about wriggling out of it!" Lu Li wasn’t about to give up and immediately dived in to tangle with her.
Wanqing stretched lazily and said, "I’m going to advance my Marrow Cleansing. Tong Shao is staying overnight at Uncle Chen’s, so you two take your time arguing~"
Leaving the two behind, she went back to her room to break through on her own.
With Internal Vision and the Spirit Mechanism, mere Marrow Cleansing was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Wanqing effortlessly brought a steady stream of inner breath into her meridians, following the body’s natural energy channels, easily soaking into the marrow.
She soon succeeded in her breakthrough.
Wanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.
Living with her best friend and husband, not only did she enjoy life, but her strength also grew day by day.
"I’ll soon be able to... realize my dream~"
She dreamt of the future, her eyes flashing a burning red glow.
The girl’s dreams were linked to Chuyun, and Chuyun, too, wouldn’t let a newly risen adversary escape their notice.
