109 His Third Disciple
THE MOMENT THEY all arrived, the Spirit Race’s territory was already in shambles. No one expected that it would be too fast before everyone from the race would be exterminated. It was a good thing they already left their respective cities; only praying for the innocent people’s lives to reincarnate and become stronger in their next lives.
“The destructive forces left by the battle, it was too strong… there was an even stronger force than mine that still lingered here. Could it be the Spirit Race Ancestor? It’s been quite a long time since I’d seen her and now, she was gone,” Xia Zhiguang muttered.
Bai Qian overheard this and replied, “Right, I also remembered that peerless face of hers. It would have been good if she had become my wife instead—fuck!” Suddenly, he felt a stinging gaze from the airship he came from and zipped his slippery mouth. He then coughed in embarrassment. “I mean, she would have probably become a good wife then if only she did not perish.”
On the other hand, Yang Lujia looked at Long Guang who was sitting inside the crib he made for this little dragon. It had been quite a long time since he saw this disciple of his up close. If it were anybody else, his ‘long time’ might be the shortest for them, but to someone missing another, it was definitely the opposite.
“I hope that whatever experiences you have undergone all this time when I wasn’t around would become your way to becoming stronger than you already are,” his thoughts. “Stabilize your cultivation level first and I’ll let you ascend to a higher realm. I have no other choice but to let go of you. It’s best if you grow up without me securing your safety all the time. Although it would be somewhat good to ride on a dragon sometimes, your growth is still more important.”
Yang Lujia himself could not believe that he had developed these otherworldly emotions, which he could only faintly feel when he was on Earth. Perhaps he did change the moment he was transmigrated into this world, in the body of a baby.
Although he blamed himself for not doing this earlier; otherwise, his disciple wouldn’t have suffered, he was still quite grateful for the period of time Long Guang had undergone those tribulations.
Just like on Earth, people tend to teach others the harsh way in order for them to grow up because the moment the person they relied upon met his or her end, they would already be able to stand on their own..
Dramatic.
“Uhm, master…?” a little girl’s voice then interrupted his thoughts, to which he turned around and saw her pitiful torn clothes.
When Feng Huang saw Yang Lujia’s firm gaze, she straightened her back and stared at the latter with clenched fists. “You want me to accept you as my master, right? And since the condition of being able to save my sister was met, I would naturally become your disciple from now on.” Then, she quickly knelt on her knees with cupped fists and with her head bowed down. “Greetings, master!”
“Get up,” Yang Lujia said. However, his heart was beating loudly. After all, he accepted another disciple this time. Her talent should give him bountiful rewards, right?
Clearing his thoughts, he looked at the standing Feng Huang and her little sister who was peeking at him from behind her. “Your little sister, will someone fetch her to your clan in the Nether Universe? After all, it’s quite that far for her to travel alone.”
“No, master. I will be accompanying her to the clan—”
“Wait, but you’re basically an exile of your clan. When you go back there—”
“Master, do not worry. I won’t return her directly to the clan. I will only be there to fetch her near the clan’s territory. I won’t get caught.”
“Hmm,” Yang Lujia said as he nodded. “Then, when are you planning to go?”
“Now?”
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining your third disciple, Feng Huang! Rewards: Frost-Flame Scripture, Whisper Wind Bow (Heaven-Ranked Divine Artifact), Two Chances to from the Wheel of Fate, and an Opportunity to build the Origin Court in the Realm of Spacetime (Da Shikong)!]
“No elixirs?” Yang Lujia subconsciously muttered as he casually pulled out his usual wine gourd and drank a mouthful of elixir.
Feng Huang’s eyes almost bulged out when she saw the excess of the elixir falling from Yang Lujia’s mouth. “Master, isn’t that an elixir?”
Yang Lujia burped without restraint and turned to look at Feng Huang once more. “Anyway, you’re going there now?”
Feng Huang ignored her first comment after her master reverted the topic back to her matter. It was obvious that his master had done this quite a few times already. She might have not noticed it. Only now.
“Yes, master,” she replied.
“Wait for at least a month or so. I want you to refine something. I was told that your bloodline was sealed. In order to stimulate your talent further, you need this treasure,” Yang Lujia said as he pulled the treasure he was referring to.
Soon enough, the moment he pulled it out, he immediately restricted its aura as it might affect Long Guang’s recovery. However, when Feng Huang saw this, she was a bit baffled as to what kind of flower it was.
“Master, is this the treasure you’re talking about? Why can I not feel any strong fluctuations from it?” she asked.
“Naturally, because I suppressed its intimidating aura,” Yang Lujia replied as he drank another set of elixir. “I really missed drinking. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that you have the bloodline of the strongest line of phoenixes. The moment you awaken it, just like your little senior brother, you can certainly fight, defeat, or kill an opponent stronger than you are now.
“Now, refine this one. I will first attend to the outside world. It seems like we have visitors. After you refine this treasure called the Flower of Opposite Poles, you may leave then.”
“But master, what if its aura is too strong for me to handle—”
“Then, you are not fitted to become my disciple.”
Hearing the undisguised mock in Yang Lujia’s tone, Feng Huang suppressed the humiliation and disappointment she felt in her heart. Her master was so strong, so naturally, she also had to become strong if not stronger than him.
“I will do so, master.”
“But wait, I changed my mind. Let your sister stay and rest here for a while. Let’s go outside and see if I can make a world for you, like your senior brothers’.”
Feng Huang’s excitement reached a certain height and even clapped her hands in delight. She had personally experienced their worlds then. She could not wait for what world his master would create for her. “Yes, master!”
“Big sister, is he a good human? Our father said that humans are desp—”
“What are you talking about? Of course, master is a good human! He has saved you, so you have to be grateful to him as well!”
“Ehhh?” her little sister reacted, with disbelief written on her face. “Then, he’s not going to kill us?”
“Of course not!”
“Okay!”
Yang Lujia, “…”
Kids.
