67: Wang Teng: What an ugly fish!

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Sun Dashan carried Sun Xiuqing and rushed over without stopping, but he halted at the entrance.

Before his eyes, a red-clad autumn water blade flickered with refractions in the night.

Like a Fairy under the moon, she danced with the long blade wrapped in red string in her hand.

The impenetrable blade momentum was brewing on the blade but not leaking out; this blade technique had clearly reached Perfection without flaws.

Her neutral face, with strands of hair gently blowing, added a touch of ethereal grace.

Perhaps hearing the arrival, she slowly stopped her practice, casually inserted the blade into its scabbard, then, with stable breathing, opened her eyes and said indifferently.

“What is it?”

“Autumn adult, my daughter… my daughter…”

Sun Dashan was at a loss for words, perhaps due to excitement, perhaps due to something else.

Qiu Ya frowned slightly, but soon discovered something.

With a step, she arrived in front of Sun Xiuqing, brought two fingers together, pointed them at Sun Xiuqing’s glabella, and closed her eyes.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes and said with some surprise.

“There is a wisp of Spiritual Qi in her spiritual consciousness; you have successfully drawn in Qi and entered the ranks of Cultivators.”

Sun Xiuqing was naturally intelligent and had a deep sense of certain things; she felt that this elder sister in front of her was very terrifying.

It seemed as if a lot... a lot of blood lingered around this elder sister.

So she just nodded timidly.

“Don’t rush… tell me slowly.”

Sun Xiuqing tried to explain the whole story, and Qiu Ya nodded, then went to the backyard.

She arrived by the well.

Chen He was sitting idly at this time, and seeing Qiu Ya arrive, she quickly stood up.

Being caught slacking off was not a good thing.

This female Martial Artist in front of her was the foremost person under that Immortal Master, and also the housekeeper of this vast City Lord's Mansion; she could not be offended.

It was said that even the City Lord gave her three parts of deference.

Qiu Ya tapped the stone wall of the well, and soon the Different Water Carp appeared in the water.

The water glowed, unusually deep.

Although she was not as knowledgeable as Shen Li, who loved to read miscellaneous books, some things, under Shen Li's subtle influence, were still somewhat remembered.

“It seems it has successfully broken through?”

“This little guy actually formed a contract with the Vein-Piercing Pangolin Fish when it was unknown, and the Pangolin Fish was able to cross this final threshold by relying on the little girl's ‘Spiritual Qi’?”

“It’s considered lucky.”

“However, this child… truly has good fortune and considerable Aptitude.”

Qiu Ya sighed with some emotion, and also with a touch of envy.

After all, that was cultivation…

If she could cultivate… she thought she could accompany this Young Master for a longer journey… spend more years together, which would also be good.

Her eyes dimmed slightly, but soon brightened again.

Sun Xiuqing's Breakthrough into Qi Refining was a good thing for Black Ridge City.

After all, this was a Cultivator loyal to this Young Master…

However, she was still young, so there was no immediate use for her.

Qiu Ya praised the two, then dismissed them.

One wave had not settled when another rose.

Above the City Lord's Mansion, a Spiritual Qi vortex also began to form.

At first, Qiu Ya thought it was probably the Spiritual Qi vortex attracted by Young Master Wang Teng's Breakthrough.

But gradually, she realized that the scale of this Spiritual Qi vortex was not very large.

And the place where it converged was not where Wang Teng was in secluded cultivation… but the study.

Qiu Ya quickly went to the study and pushed open the door.

She saw the sand cocoon gradually hatching, and a furry creature slowly emerged from it.

“This Sand Fox… has also broken through to ninth-rank?”

At this moment, her face was full of oddness.

The now much larger Sand Fox glanced at Qiu Ya, let out a cry, and then ignored her.

It ran by itself to the door of Shen Li's secluded cultivation room, sat down in front of the door, like a guardian deity.

Qiu Ya, who had come at the sound, couldn't help but smile wryly at this.

In just one year, this originally dilapidated Black Ridge City had seen three ninth-rank Spirit Beasts and two ninth-rank heaven and earth treasures.

this Young Master’s immortal destiny was simply too prosperous!

So prosperous that it was unbelievable!

In the following ten days, nothing else happened.

There were frequent Yao Beast incursions, but fortunately, the two thousand Yuting Guards were enough to defend the city!

Plus Ruo Liuli, a Grandmaster, guarding, with two Grandmaster Martial Artists, one managing internal affairs and one external, they complemented each other well!

Black Ridge City's population was not large, and no strange incidents occurred.

Furthermore, there were no foreign Martial Artists, which prevented the possibility of trouble.

Until one sunny day, ten days later…

Chaotic Spiritual Qi fluctuations appeared from Wang Teng's secluded cultivation place.

Just like in Wang Family Market, the entire house used for secluded cultivation was instantly blown up.

Then Wang Teng's figure pushed open the main door, which was burned to ashes.

He stretched, sighing at the freshness in the air.

He let out a long howl and said.

“I’ve finally broken through!”

“I ate… shit for ten days! Only then did I break through this Realm. Who can understand what I’ve been through?”

“Where’s Shen Li?! I want to fight him!”

Then, Wang Teng felt a gaze full of Evil Qi.

He turned his head somewhat awkwardly, only to see Qiu Ya.

Qiu Ya was sharpening her blade menacingly, and Wang Teng quickly waved his hands.

“No, big sister… I just broke through, what are you doing?”

Qiu Ya didn’t speak, she just pointed behind him.

Wang Teng looked at the ruined training room behind him and said somewhat awkwardly.

“This can't be entirely my fault, can it? Isn't it normal for Spiritual Qi to be uncontrollable during a Breakthrough?”

“Besides, it's just an ordinary house, do you have to be like this?”

“At worst, I’ll have Sun Dashan build another one, won't I?”

Qiu Ya narrowed her eyes, emitting a dangerous aura.

“I heard you want to fight this Young Master?”

“No… nothing, nothing!”

As if remembering that he had already broken through and was a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Third Layer, no longer a simple commoner, his spine seemed to stiffen immensely.

“I’m already at Qi Refining Third Layer, there’s no need to fear you anymore!”

“Measure me? Call Shen Li over!”

“Right! I just want to fight Shen Li! He bullied me many times! It’s time I got my revenge!”

“Even… you, can’t protect him!”

“I said it!!!”

“Oh.” Qiu Ya was already in a bad mood, so she slowly drew her long blade.

“Don’t hit my face! Don’t hit my face!”

“I’m warning you! I have someone backing me!”

“Ow, ow, stop hitting me!”

“I’m going to tell Shen Li you’re abusing me! You’re abusing me!”

“Female Devil Head, Female Devil Head!!!!”

Qiu Ya, with a satisfied expression, sheathed her blade, letting out a turbid breath.

“I thought Young Master Wang had broken through to Qi Refining Third Layer and was invincible.”

“It seems there hasn't been much improvement.”

Wang Teng, bruised and swollen, said stubbornly.

“A good man doesn't fight women, that’s all. I know Shen Li is cultivating, so I don’t want to disturb him!”

“Otherwise, do you think I, Wang Teng, would really be afraid of a mere Grandmaster Martial Artist like you?”

“What a joke!”

“Hmm?”

Wang Teng's figure vanished from the spot, reappearing at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

“I’m not coming home for dinner. Don’t make dinner for me tonight.”

“....”

Inside the inner city, he walked into an unknown alley.

Wang Teng looked left and right to ensure no one was around, then took a deep breath.

Afterward, he began to gesticulate wildly with his limbs, like a madman dancing.

“Cool!!!!”

“Hahahaha, I broke through to Qi Refining Third Layer in just one year!”

“I am indeed a Prodigy!”

“Of course, this Shen is not bad, but it’s still this Young Master’s Aptitude at play!”

“Ah, if one day I return to the market, even my Uncle will look at me with new eyes!”

“Cool! So cool!”

“It’s so free here, with vast skies and clouds. What’s so good about that broken Crescent Lake Market?!”

“Harsh conditions only tempered my Dao Heart and made me the Wang Teng Prodigy I am today!”

“Beauty… just fleeting clouds!”

“Done! Hahaha, my Dao Heart is complete!!!”

“Um… Young Master Wang?”

Wang Teng, who was dancing wildly, didn't see Sun Xiuqing arrive. He first froze, then quickly lowered his hands and coughed.

“There was a mosquito in the sky just now.”

Sun Xiuqing was a bit confused but didn't say much.

Wang Teng narrowed his eyes.

“Hmm? You’ve drawn in Qi.”

“Good Aptitude, already has three tenths of my talent.”

“What are you doing here?”

Sun Xiuqing pointed to the alley gutter and said.

“Playing with Carp King.”

“Carp King?”

Wang Teng looked into the gutter, discovered the Different Water Carp, and blurted out.

“It’s so damn ugly. Whose bastard is that?”

Pfft!

A high-pressure water jet suddenly sprayed onto his face.

“Stop!”

“Don’t run!”

“You evil creature, a mere ninth-rank Spirit Beast, dares to humiliate me like this!”

“I will fight you to the death!”

Pfft!
