Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

3/3

----------

Hearing the scholarly beauty's words, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but laugh helplessly as he thinks that this sudden senior sister of his is just way too dedicated to cultivation, thinking that despite the fact that he is willing to give more things than that, and here she is, not even spending a single second to think of what she really wants before arriving at the conclusion that she wants to fight with him.

"Fine, tomorrow, after breakfast" Su Xiaotian replies with a wry smile on his face before turning around to look at the skies once again, his words bringing an unexpected joy to the scholarly beauty's heart.

"You're going to cook again?" despite the fact that she is really looking forward to their fight though, the beauty couldn't help but ask this as she heard of a word pertaining the food coming out from his mouth, the taste of the dishes she tried previously still clearly etched not only in her tongue, but also in her mind and heart, the fact that she ate something this exceptional being something that made her all the more approving of this sudden junior brother of hers.

"Who else is going to cook, mom is a good cook as well, but she wants my dishes as well" the immortal-like young man said with a helpless smile on his face knowing full well that he's definitely the one who is going to cook tomorrow as well.

Hearing his words, the beauty couldn't help but giggle as she never expected that this young man, whom she saw as someone unrivaled not only under the same realm but even against people who are a realm higher than his cultivation, as someone who can be suppressed all too easily by his mother without her even using a single bit of her cultivation.

"You really love Aunt Meiyao, don't you?" she said more of a teasing rather than a serious question, but what she received from the young man just made her think that he's really a good man all the more, wondering just what is it that made him the man he is today.

"Of course, that goddess of a mother is the one who gave birth to me in the first place, and she was always there from the very first time I was born into this world…" the young man paused for a while as flashes of her death from the previous timeline appears in his mind, causing him to once again swear that nothing even remotely close to that will happen once again in this life, his emotion so intense that some sort of intent leaks out from him, making the scholarly beauty understand a bit of how he feels.

'Such intense emotions…' she thought to herself, in disbelief that someone can feel something like this towards another person other than themselves, something that she is bound to get surprised even more should she know just how much feeling the immortal-like young man's mother has for him.

"Well, don't you treasure your master just as much as I love mom as well?" after seeing that she went really silent, Su Xiaotian said with a smile on his face, his words causing her to snap out of her daze as she thinks about it, comparing what she feels for her master to the relation between the immortal-like young man and his mother.

'If we replace that love with respect and gratitude, then…' as she starts introspecting, the beauty couldn't help but acknowledge the thing that her junior brother is claiming, prompting her to nod at his words as she smiles towards him as well.

"That's true…" she said as she stands up from the place she is currently sitting on, opting to move back inside as she thought of something.

"I'm heading back to rest for now, keep your promise okay~?" before she heads inside though, she decided to call for her junior brother once again, her words causing the young man to look at her as he nods with the same smile on his face, causing her to return the nod as well.

"Tomorrow is going to be a good day" Su Xiaotian thought to himself jokingly as he watches the night sky, opting to just rest here for today as he wants to give his mother and the other ladies some time with just them.

Meanwhile at the bottom of the mountain, an alluring, purple-haired beauty is currently looking up at the towering mountains that pierces through the clouds, her smile that of someone clearly looking forward to reaching the top of these mountains, yet the depth of her gaze shows an inexplicable sadness as if she can't escape from something that she doesn't want to experience.
Experience tales at empire

"All that can carry themselves to the mountains will get a reward once we get back, as for those who can't even climb, get yourselves back and just continue being good little girls for the clients" she said harshly as she looks at the ladies accompanying them, beauties who wore completely different kind of dress compared to hers, her being a dress that despite showing her amazing curves, still covers nearly all of her skin beneath her neck, while the dress of the ladies following her being so revealing that it barely cover their private parts with proper cloth, and most of their bodies are only clad with a thin, see-through silk.

"Lady Yu'er seems to be in a bad mood"

"Yeah, no shit, I heard she got engaged to someone, what kind of woman in power like her would be happy if she suddenly got betrothed to someone?"

"Shhh, stop talking about the man who is lucky enough to have her, don't you know the identity of the lucky person!??"

As the people chats around and found out the fact that the current greatest young genius of the Heavenly Bliss Pavilion is engaged to someone in the Imperial Court of the Central Province, the people couldn't help but hiss in terror, thanking their luck stars that whoever prince that is, is not currently here to witness the words they just said, as even if they don't know the temperament of the prince engaged with Zi Yu'er, they are well aware of what said royalty can do against them scoff free.

Meanwhile, the beauty in question pays no heed to the talks happening within the number of people observing her ascend to the true location of the Dao Seeking Mountain, her head absentmindedly commanding her body to accomplish a single task, to climb the mountain as soon as possible, not caring even a single bit to the ladies who go with her, her attitude towards them completely different from how she treats the ones coming from the same force as her before this competition.

"Old fucking hag, do you really think that I won't be able to get rid of these spies of yours? You're dreaming" after seeing that there's no one else from the Heavenly Bliss Pavilion near her, the alluring purple-haired beauty couldn't help but curse to herself, muttering her words without even holding back, feeling so liberated from being away from the head matron's grasp once again.
