Hearing the lady’s tone, Wu Xiaotian couldn’t help but frown while holding himself back, deciding to give this lady another chance before he drops his façade.
‘Really surprises me how close to Earth’s interaction social interaction here is.’ He thought to himself as he remembers the haughty image of his enemies that he encounters, all of them acting high and mighty as if everything under the heavens is in their control.
‘First there was this scheming hypocritical bastard and then now this lady who clearly thinks she’s better than anyone else, maybe this is to balance my karma of meeting so many wonderful mature women’ he shook his head while mocking himself, recalling familiar faces such as his mom, his grandmother as well as Li Yan.
‘I wonder how they are right now’ as he wonders how those women are doing, it makes it seems like he is ignoring the lady that just speaks, making the lady frown in annoyance.
Fortunately, before anything escalated, the young lady that uses seduction technique decided to intervene as she stood up of her seat, interrupting the other lady as she spoke, “Leng Yue, I suggest you watch your tone when you’re clearly asking someone for favor, else you offend someone you don’t want to”
The lady named Leng Yue, hearing this was angered by the other lady’s statement as she replies, “Mo Ning, what does my manner of speaking have to do with any of your business?” before releasing an aura that is enough to suppress an average Early state Core Formation cultivator.
“I’m just giving you advice, if you refuse to listen, then so be it” the lady decided to back out and get out of the scene as she felt terrified by the aura released by Leng Yue.
“Now where are we, ah that’s right, how about you get back with us and cook for the whole camp” Leng Yue, watching the other group run away was satisfied, deciding to order Wu Xiaotian once again.
“What will I get?” Wu Xiaotian asked, irritating the lady more. He was quite annoyed by this girl as well, interrupting his meal and deciding for herself to boss him around.
“What will you get? Hah! You should be honored to cook for us but you’re thinking of payments?! You think too highly of yourself!!” Leng Yue was clearly at the end of her patience as she starts fuming hearing his reply.
“You will get there whether you want it or not!!” she added as she tries grabbing Wu Xiaotian by the neck, but Bing Xue, who is beside her decided stopping her and pulling her out of there, finally leaving Wu Xiaotian alone.
“Why did you bring me back Bing Xue? That guy was clearly taking advantage of us!!” Leng Yue, being dragged by her friend back to their camp was annoyed, but she was not angry as she knows her since they were young, and this friend of her is clearly not someone who will pull back without a good reason.
“That guy… well how should I say it….
The moment you start stretching your hand towards him, this terrifying… air… suddenly surrounds us, well I’m not sure if what I felt is real but I definitely felt that you’re the one going out hurt if you confront that guy” Bing Xue said as she recalls the look Wu Xiaotian has at that moment, the look of someone who’s completely unperturbed, as if seeing something he has already seen countless of times.
“That guy who was so shy of other women? Bing Xue, you must be joking, look at his cultivation, look at his clean appearance, don’t you think he’s just a boy toy some expert brought here to alleviate their boredom?
Maybe he escaped from that expert or something” Leng Yue said, pausing a while before pointing to the bed then adding, “Maybe you’re too stressed from worrying about the barrier for more than a week Bing Xue, rest for a while”
“Maybe you’re right Leng Yue, just, try not to offend that guy, it’s better safe than sorry” Bing Xue answered as she goes towards the bed, entering a meditative position as if to start cultivating.
“This girl…” seeing her do so, Leng Yue just shook her head, admiring her friend for still cultivating under these circumstances.
While cultivating can also substitute sleeping at night, still, nothing is better than sleeping as cultivating spends a significant amount of mental energy, so even if a cultivator’s body is well rested, their mind is still not if they cultivate during the night, fortunately, the sleeping requirements gradually goes down as a cultivator’s strength increases, enabling them to enter long period of cultivations without the bodily functions interrupting them.
Meanwhile, the young man they thought was someone’s boy toy witnessed the entire scene as he spreads his sense to gather information about everything, the palace, his sworn brother and sister and Li Yan who was supposed to be entering the secret realm as well.
As he hears Leng Yue calling him words, he cursed in his mind as he wonders why all the people he encounters in this secret realm thinks that he’s a boy toy one way or another.
Deciding to free his mind from trivial worries, he starts recalling the barrier’s formation in his mind. Entering the [Rune Observation Platform], he projected the image of the formation as he starts studying the structure of the runic formation, trying to decipher it and finding a way to enter the palace.
Coupled with the insights from the Auxiliary Job System’s [Rune Observation Platform], he was making leaps and bounds of progress as he scans the formation in full detail, trying to analyze if there’s any weakness that he can exploit.
After studying the formation for a couple of hours, he managed to find multiple ways he can use to enter the palace. Unfortunately, the formation is arranged in such a way that it will create a lot of noise once someone broke in one way or another, and there’s no way to remove this feature as it is completely integrated into the formation.
‘I can break that alarm using the Transcendent Soul and Transcendent Qi, but that will attract even more attention’ he thought to himself as he gives up the thought of going in sneakily and decided to show a bit of his skills so that people stop underestimating him.
Before sleeping though, he recalls having a new system, and decided looking into it while he’s relatively free.
[Infinite Dimension System (Lvl 1)]
[Info: Allows user to travel across dimension, the system issuing missions for the user to complete, granting the user rewards. The rewards vary from Universal Coins to gift packages and even items, cultivation tools, weapons and more]
[Note: The world the user will be transported to will be completely random, but the user will have more and more freedom to choose their desired place the higher the system’s level is]
[Charges Available: 1/1(Refreshes Every week)]
Deciding to test it out, he clicked the enter button under the charges, only to be greeted by multiple screens warning him.
[Detected that the user is in a secret realm space, using the spatial transport function of the Infinite Dimension System will result in the collapse of the secret realm space, use the spatial transport function?]
Seeing this, Wu Xiaotian was surprised as he remembers entering and leaving the Auxiliary Job System and even the Infinite Qi System’s independent spaces, and nothing happens every time, so he wonders why it is just the Infinite Dimension System that could destroy the secret realm.
[The spaces in the Infinite Qi System and Auxiliary Job System are independent spaces, meaning that the spaces are those that are inside the main system itself, while the Infinite Dimension System sends the user outside using powerful spatial transport method, capable of ripping artificially created spaces such as this secret realm]
Reading the system’s explanation to his query, he understood the reason and decided to give up on checking his new system out, leaving it for when he exits the secret realm.
