It all started with a spiritual root test. When she arrived with Niu Niu, Xuan Lin was being tested, and it was found that he had three spiritual roots; gold, wood and fire. When he saw them, he was obviously a bit nervous, after all, abandoning his young sister wouldnât give him a good reputation.
He held back at first, until Niu Niu was tested as a mutant wind spirit root.
Shi Xia didnât understand what it meant, but looking at the three disciples of the Huang Shengyin Sect standing up on the stage with ecstatic expressions, she understood that it must be a rare spiritual root. They threw away being a high and mighty cultivator and ran to Niu Niu with excitement. When they came to Shi Xia to ask about their relationship, Niu Niu said that she(Shi Xia) was her sister with a warm and thoughtful expression.
It was when Xuan Linâs face began to collapse. Shi Xia was happy, and couldnât help but throw a few sarcastic remarks at him. She said that it was karma, for being a scumbag and abandoning his own sister. She didnât forget to raise her voice, because she wanted the disciples of Huang Shengyin Sect to know how he behaved with their precious disciple, Niu Niu. She wanted him to face the same humiliation and hurt he caused Niu Niu. But who knew that it would immediately backfire at herself.
That stupid asshole actually revealed her name!
âShe is the sister of the Demon King, Shi Xia. Donât let her escape!â Xuan Lin continued to fan the flames.
âWho said Iâm Shi Xia?â Shi Xia retorted, âWhat proof do you have?â Damn, she finally knows the price of having a cheap mouth. Looking at the crowd of tigers around her, she had to think about how to escape the situation in order to not be cut in two pieces.
âYour surname is Shi, if you arenât her âŠâŠthen who is it?â
âHey, hey, hey, your words canât even be eaten. Donât speak nonsense, when did I say my last name is Shi?â
âSix months ago you said it yourself. At that time you did not say your full name, but I clearly heard you saying it!â
Damn, how can this scumbagâs memory be so good?
âYou just said and it has to be? Can you prove it?â
âYou âŠâŠâ Xuan Lin wasnât good at fighting with words. With a sullen look, he turned to the three selected disciples of the Huang Shengyin Sect and said, âbenevolent immortals, since she, Shi Xia, the sister of the Demon King arrived, we canât let her escape. You have to kill her, otherwise, she would create endless problems for us ah. â
Xuan Lin wanted to kill her, this villain ah.
âAnd again âŠâŠâ Xuan Lin looked at her, smiled with a smug expression and stole Shi Xiaâs concept as he refuted back, âcan you prove you arenât Shi Xia?â
Shi Xia became speechless.
âI can!â
Suddenly, a thick male voice sounded in the whole area and resonated throughout the entire venue. The thick voice made all the people present canât help but feel a little dizzy.
They looked towards the voice, and saw a middle-aged man on the stage was slowly walking toward the centre of confrontation. At every step he took, people retreated and respectfully gave him the way, with reverence in their eyes.
âCity Lord, itâs the Dragon Cityâs Lord who is here.â
âItâs really City Lord Long! He actually came in person.â
The crowd was in an uproar. Although they purposely lowered their voices, they could not hide the excitement in their tones.
The man came step by step, each step seemed to carry a compelling aura. Even the three cultivators on the stage got up and clasped their fists and called out, âDragon City Lord.â
âThree Immortal Masters.â The man also clasped his fist and returned the salute. The next moment, he turned his head to look at Shi Xia standing next to them with two shining eyes.
The look gave Shi Xia goosebumps. Before anyone could react, he did something unexpected that shocked everyone present.
âBenefactor!â The man walked over to her quickly, and his distressed eyes looked like they were sprinkled with starlight, âI never thought that I would see my benefactor again in my lifetime. I have never dared to forget the kindness of the past, so I hope you will accept my obeisance.â Saying this, he kneeled down in front of Shi Xia with a thud.
Shi Xia was startled, and hurriedly took a step back as she asked, âWho are you?â
âBenefactor?â The man was stunned, âI am Long Aotian ah!â
The corners of Shi Xiaâs mouth twitched as she said, âHello, my name is Zhao Ritian!â
Part 2
âBenefactor, do you still remember? Thirty years ago, I was chased by my enemies and fell to the bottom of the valley. It was the benefactor, who passed me the secret of the gongfu methods, and taught me the method of detoxification to renew my veins. The reason why I have todayâs achievements is all thanks to the benefactorâs kindness. In these thirty years, I have never dared to forget, and always hoped that one day, I can meet the benefactor again to repay the past kindness.â
Thirty years, thirty years ago she was not even an egg, right?
You really have the wrong person! Shi Xia couldnât remember saving such a strong person, look at his body muscles, they are almost bursting from the clothes.
Whatâs more, the boobs are even bigger than hers, which is unbearable!
=_=!
âDragon City Lord.â The three apprentice selectors of the Huang Shengyin Sect could not help but interrupt, âYou know this girl? Then she âŠâŠâ He was trying to ask if the other party really was the Devil girl, Shi Xia.
âDonât worry âŠâŠâ Long Aotian nodded towards the three apprentice selectors and turned his head to look at the crowd on the stage before raising his voice and saying one word at a time, âEveryone! I do know this girl. She is exactly the benefactor that this Long Mou has been looking for for many years. Long Mou guarantees with his honesty, she is definitely not some Devil girl Shi Xia, her name is â Shunfeng Songhuo*!â
[T/N: Express delivery.]
Pfft, cough cough âŠâŠ
Shi Xia directly choked on her own saliva. What the hell is Shunfeng Songhuo? What kind of odd name is this? Donât add odd names to her life at random ah hey! Such a bullshit name! Will even ghosts believe it?
âSo thatâs it! Itâs just a misunderstanding.â
âShunfeng Songhuo, such a righteous name, which points does it sound like the Devil girl?â
âRight, right. She is the city Lordâs benefactor and will never be bad.â
âJust who in the end started this nonsense?â
Shi Xia: ââŠâŠâ
They really believed it! Where is the wisdom of the masses? Drop dead!
The situation on the scene was instantly reversed, Xuan Linâs face turned black.
âDragon City Lord is loyal and righteous, what he said must be true.â Even the three chosen disciple cultivators cupped their fists and said with apologetic expression, âItâs all a misunderstanding, I hope the Dragon City Lord will forgive us.â After saying this, they glared at Xuan Lin with dissatisfaction.
Her identity wasnât exposed. Not only was it exposed, it was even proved that she is a kind hearted person. He has inexplicably provoked a large number of people, and also delayed the selection of immortal disciples, Xuan Lin this time lost big.
On the contrary, the âclarificationâ of the identity of Shi Xia, harvested a lot of sympathy. The eyes of the crowd looking at her eyes had softened a lot.
Her mood âŠâŠwas very complicated, although not being treated as the worldâs public enemy is a good thing, but she was forced to change the name to âExpress deliveryâ. She is not happy at all ah!
She has just delivered a few times in her life, just a few times ah!
Huh? Wait âŠâŠ Delivery! Long Aotian?
âYouâre that Long Aotian!â Shi Xia suddenly remembered the 10th delivery who was lying at the bottom of the cliff. But wasnât that a martial arts world? When did the martial arts and immortal worlds establish a friendly relationship? How come she didnât know?
âBenefactor, you finally remembered me!â Long Aotianâs face was turned bright and moved to the point that his eyes were blurred.
âUh âŠâŠ can you get up and talk?â Kneeling all the time in front of her, she feels very stressed, OK?
Long Aotian immediately farted and stood up, âbenefactor, talking about these things here is inconvenient. Why not the benefactor comes to my house?â
Shi Xia also had a stomach full of questions she wanted to ask him, but looking at Niu Niu, she showed a moment of hesitation.
âDonât worry, you can bring her along.â Long Aotian could see her difficulty, âIt will take one more day for the immortal masters to select their disciples. When they leave tomorrow, I will just send her again.â
âThen what are you waiting for? Letâs go.â Feeling relived by his assurance, Shi Xia picked up Niu Niu. While walking she asked, âBy the way, do you have food in your home?â
âBenefactor, rest assured, my house is full with food!â Long Aotian patted his chest to guarantee.
She was relieved.
âââ- â
âDoes the benefactor still remember this?â Long Aotian handed over a booklet, âItâs because of it that I was able to survive. And avenge the injustice done on me.â
Shi Xia took a look, and saw that the cover of the book read *Yuan secret book. She looked down and had a hard time recognising the words.
âThe Secret Book of Mixed Elements!â Wasnât this the delivery that she had sent back then?
âExactly.â Long Aotian nodded his head excitedly.
âAre you sure itâs this one?â But when she gave it to him at first, it clearly had simplified Chinese characters written on it!
âOf course!â He said with certainty, âI have kept this secret book for many years.â
Shi Xia smoothly took it, the questions in her heart grew more, âbut I clearly âŠâŠâ But halfway through, her words stopped and eyes widened. She pointed at the booklet and asked, âyou ⊠. did you see it?â
âWhat?â Long Aotian looked puzzled.
âThe words, the words on this have changed!â Just now it was the words of this world, but now it has become simplified Chinese ah!
âHas it?â He took the booklet and flipped through it, but saw nothing wrong. Shi Xia at that time looked with shocked eyes at the words âSecret Book of Mixed Elementsâ on the cover changed again, back to this worldâs writing.
âIsnât it the same as before?â Long Aotian couldnât find anything wrong even after looking at it from top to bottom. He handed the book back and said apologetically, âBenefactor, please forgive my ignorance, I really can not see the difference.â
He canât see! Shi Xiaâs entire body was frozen. Flipping the book open, she was stunned to see that the words inside the pages had also changed into her familiar simplified Chinese.
What the hell is going on here? She clearly turned it in front of Long Aotian, he could not have missed it. But he didnât react at all. Does it mean that the book will automatically switch fonts only in front of her eyes?
She couldnât help but pull out the secret book that her cheap brother had given her at the beginning, only to find that she was still illiterate. Only this âSecret Book of Mixed Elementsâ would change like this!
âDragon City Lord, can I borrow this book to study it?â She asked, thinking that this courier was not simple.
âWhat are you saying, benefactor.â Long Aotian waved his hand and said, âThis is originally the benefactorâs stuff, now itâs only right to return it to its original owner. If you hadnât left these techniques behind, I wouldnât have become a martial arts practitioner.â
âMartial arts practitioner!â Shi Xia was stunned. This was not a martial arts book, how did it change into a gong method boom again?
âYes!â Long Aotian nodded with a face of gratitude, âI was fortunate to meet an immortal master before. After he reminded me to know that what my benefactor gave was actually a martial cultivation techniques, and the techniques are equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator when they are completed. I am naturally considered a martial cultivator, thatâs why I built this Dragon City and befriended the Immortal Sect, trying to find my benefactor.â
âYou were looking for me?â
âYes, I have been looking for my benefactor since I took my revenge twenty-five years ago.â
âTwenty-five years ago âŠâŠâ Shi Xia froze for a moment, âHow old are you?â
Long Aotian smiled, âLong Mou is fifty three this year.â
âYou donât look like ah âŠâŠâ Shi Xia looked him up and down as she said. He looks strong and young, at most about thirty years old.
Long Aotian scratched his head with embarrassment, âI have entered the martial path, and currently considered to have built the foundation. The longevity in this path is different from others. Benefactor is also a cultivator, you must know.â
âIâm not a cultivator!â Shi Xia truthfully said.
