Li Mo put Ye Xiaolu down as she twisted the skin on his chest.
“Everyone says Emulsion Spirit Body can boost one’s cultivation speed. I didn’t use to think so, but now I’m a believer.”
“Just you wait!” Ye Xiaolu gnashed her teeth.
“What, still won’t accept it?”
Ye Xiaolu walked away bowlegged.
Green Water Palace had many, many disciple. And while its rules weren’t strict, stating that disciples were forbidden from fighting among each other, it led to the yearly tournament focus not on one’s knowledge of magical arts, but on cultivation.
To sum it all up, it was a debate and not a brawl.
Ye Xiaolu entered the circle of enlightenment while Li Mo stayed behind.
He decided to sit this one out.
Ye Xiaolu’s test soon showed her cultivation was in the seventh level. She was among the very best disciples among the fresh batch of newcomers, taking sixth place.
Li Mo stepped down from joining after finding Ye Xiaolu’s potential was enough to enter top ten in his stead.
Ye Xiaolu earned ten Cleansing Pills. These were rare pills that purified one’s constitution. So rare you could only find them in the Investiture of the Gods world.
“With my talent, how can I be in 6th? I won’t accept it.”
Ye Xiaolu was bitter, even after getting her reward.
Li Mo stared blankly at the names in top ten.
Skipping the strange named Ye Xiaolu, there were two other names that caught him by surprise.
One was Old Bean, the other Heart-breaker Kid.
The two names were a stark contrast from the other seven.
When the top ten entered the stage, Li Mo saw Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid and the mystery soon came apart.
They were human with short hair. And their mannerism clearly pointed that they weren’t residents of this world.
They were just like Li Mo, outsiders!
Li Mo exclaimed.
‘It makes sense now why the world didn’t fall apart once Su Daji finished fusing. Other people came beside us. It’s obvious they are men on a mission too. This world will stay put as long as their mission isn’t completed.’
“Such a shame…”
Li Mo shook his head.
If only this world was a real time-space rupture. But since it wasn’t, all boost in strength here would turn to dust once stepping out.
Case in point, Ye Xiaolu’s mighty seventh level would fall back to the third level.
“Speaking of, what happened to Su Daji truly was a sheer coincidence.”
Li Mo frowned.
On the stage, Old Bean and Heart-breaking Kid stood agape at Ye Xiaolu. They were modern men and from China to boot. Of course they’d recognize Ye Xiaolu, the superstar!
She looked the same and even had the same name. That was too much for a coincidence.
Ye Xiaolu sensed nothing wrong. She looked around normally and only gnashed her teeth when noticing Li Mo.
Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid skedaddled from the circle of enlightenment, unaware of the tail behind them.
“Ol’ Bean, that Ye Xiaolu is the superstar!”
“I saw. I thought Ye Xiaolu killed herself, but now I see she is just like us, visitors to the Investiture of the Gods world.”
“How should we handle this?”
“Let’s inform Head Huang first. He’ll know what to do.”
“Let’s…”
The two went to their homes and Old Bean fished out a phone.
“Head Huang, me and Heart-breaker just met with the modern Ye Xiaolu in Green Water Palace!”
“You’re sure?”
“Absolutely. I am her fan. I was always first in buying every one of her songs the minute they went on sale. I’d know her even if she turned to ash.”
“Don’t do anything to alarm her. For now, keep an eye on her and see if she is with anyone else!”
“Got it.”
Old Bean ended the call.
“We’ve been hiding in the Green Water Palace for thirty years now and even secured top ten places for three times already. If this keeps up, there’s hope we’ll do it ten time in a row.“
“And to think we were a thousand when we first got here and only seven hundred joined Green Water Palace. But even so, all that’s left of them are just us…”
“In this world, constitution and talent are paramount. We aren’t ordinary people either, and I believe we will be among the strongest of this world.”
“What’s the point? Will we ever surpass Head Huang?”
“How can you say that? Head Huang has been kind to us. All these years, it was he who looked after us.”
“Quite, although, 30 years may have gone in this Investiture of the Gods world, while only three on the outside. We haven’t gone back once in this three years. Tell me, Heart-breaker, don’t you miss home?”
“Of course I do, but we can’t go until we finish our mission.”
“Don’t think too much and just focus on your cultivation. As long as we can get into top ten ten times, we can go home and live in comfort.”
“I miss my wife…”
“I do too. My daughter must be 18 this year…“
Old Bean and Heart-breaker Kid sighed.
Li Mo was right outside, hearing the two loud and clear.
They were Thunderstruck Enterprise’s men.
Among Earth’s three organizations, Experts Alliance was the weakest, while TS and Thunderstruck Enterprise were without a doubt the strongest.
As Experts Alliance dabbed in talents, TS dabbed in medicine. Thunderstruck Enterprise had fully entered the God Realm and the gap in power would only grow larger.
So many years went by, but Thunderstruck Enterprise hid so well that even Li Mo, who came back, had no clue as to their true power.
From the two’s talk, Li Mo picked up on them being Thunderstruck Enterprise’s lowest rung members. But having special constitutions, they rose in power quickly in the Green Water Palace, all to become Grandmaster of Heaven’s personal disciples.
But from their talk, this Head Huang was regarded with much respect.
“You better not wander these days and just focus on cultivation.”
Li Mo warned Ye Xiaolu when she got back.
“Who do you think I am? Don’t think… Humph, actually I am feeling a bit sleepy. Don’t you dare try anything funny. I don’t mean anything by it, got that? Once I get my strength up, see how I’ll get you to sleep with those two gnoll bitches instead. Or my name isn’t Ye!”
“Is your butt itchy?”
“W-what are you doing?”
Seeing Li Mo walking closer, Ye Xiaolu cowered.
“Did you get what I just told you!”
“Y-yes…”
“Will you listen from now on?”
“I will, I will.”
“Good girl.”
Li Mo patted her head.
Ye Xiaolu didn’t flinch nor blink…
