Chapter 741: First Stage, Dugu Xiao Yi!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Despite having three Saints as his bodyguards, Li You Ran still felt oddly unsafe.
It was really illogical!
In a place like Tian Xiang, having a peak Earth Xuan as a bodyguard was enough to let anyone do whatever they wanted to without fear. To have a Sky Xuan bodyguard would be a dream co true!
But the situation now was different. He had three powerful people who were a million tis more powerful than a Sky Xuan beside him; there really shouldn’t be anything that could threaten him in this world. But, Li You Ran oddly didn’t feel a single ounce of the sense of security he should have held...
Upon arrival at the doorstep of the Jun Residence, Li You Ran was taken aback!
The doors of the Jun Residence were wide open with only two relaxed guards watching the entrance—none of that tight security in the past. They didn’t even seed bothered by their arrival. Li You Ran handed over the visiting card, the guard took it and ran off to pass the ssage, returning shortly to invite them in. “Old Master invites Young Master Li in.”
He only invited them in and didn’t even send soone to bring them in! He didn’t even send a housekeeper out!
Li You Ran was surprised; it seed like the Jun Family was not too friendly towards him.
Li You Ran thought that the Jun Family was trying to trick the enemy into thinking otherwise with their sudden lax in security. By pretending to be weak, it would trick clever enemies into noticing the dangers that awaited, but in reality, they were truly powerless and weak!
Creating an illusionary pretense of being weak to conceal their actual weakness in reality! An extre move of putting yourself in a powerless position that was ready to be obliterated to make the enemy suspicious and suspect that you already set up a trap and feared nothing!
This was a strategy to counter smart enemies!
It was the best strategy to employ in order to confuse the enemy when you were really powerless and weak!
The stratagem of the empty city!
You are really lacking in defence, and a stronger enemy decides to arrive at this timing. If you put up a strong front, it’ll instead trigger the enemy’s desire to battle! And destruction may occur when the two forces clashes!
However, if you put up a weak front like this, it’ll cause the enemy to beco wary and suspicious, unable to decide on what course of action to take!
When Li You Ran arrived, he could guess that the sudden relaxation in the defences of the Jun Residence was part of Jun Zhan Tian’s intentional stratagem! He did not comnt on it openly, but secretly felt pleased with himself. Jun Zhan Tian, you may have spent all your life fighting battles, and you are clearly well versed and skilled with your strategies, but I’m no herbivore! Didn’t I see through your strategy easily? Looks like your silly illusory tricks have no effect in face of our capable forces!
But Jun Zhan Tian did not send anyone out to usher them in, revealing a stronger animosity. It clearly told them: We do not welco you!
This made Li You Ran a little doubtful. Could it be... they were really unafraid?We are definitely powerful, but what about them? Do they perhaps have stronger forces?
Just at this mont, the three Saints behind him lifted their heads and took a sniff in the air. All their expressions changed at the sa ti!
“To think that there is Spiritual Qi of such a pure form! It’s a surprise to have a place like this in the world; the Spiritual Qi here at the Jun Residence is so rich! Even three Holy Lands, which boast the most Spiritual Qi cannot be compared to this!” One of them whispered. The other two nodded slightly, and their faces darkened more.
A situation like this was likely due to so unrivalled master cultivating his Xuan skills in the Jun Family Residence. Everyday, he would absorb all of the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi in the surroundings, so all the Spiritual Qi from other places would start to gather here instead! Over a period of ti, a Xuan Qi field would have developed!
Even if that person no longer intentionally trained, the Spiritual Qi could still gather around here!
Over a long and continuous period, a thick and pure Spiritual Qi field developed and it would always hover around and encompass around the Jun Residence!
The three Saints were all experts in this field; how could they not be aware of sothing like this? If there was an unrivalled master awaiting in the Jun Residence, such a phenonon would not be a surprise.
But the thing that really scared them was the purity of the Spiritual Qi in the air—it was so thick it didn’t dissipate! This was an unimaginable situation because as long as soone stopped their training, even if a Spiritual Qi field vortex existed and lingered around, it should not reach such a level of purity and richness! Had it been the case where that person was training when they had arrived, it would have made sense. But there were no fluctuations from soone practicing, so everything happening right now made no sense!
When these three people stepped into the Qi field, they instantly felt extrely refreshed! Even at the Supre Golden City, at the place all the Saints trained together, there was no such accumulation of Spiritual Qi of this scale or richness!
And this place was in the mortal realm!
In other words, the rate this unrivalled master released Spiritual Qi was beyond the rate of all the Saints in Supre Golden City taking in Spiritual Qi combined! And by multiple folds!
A fact like this shook them to their very core! Even though they had yet to et this master, they all felt a little timid already. To think that there was soone like this in the mortal realm! We clearly are not his match in a one-on-one battle. Even if the three of us joined forces, we still may not stand a chance! This person is too fearso!
All four of them pretended that they were unaffected by anything despite hesitating in their hearts as they stepped foot into the Jun Residence. They were heading to the main hall when all three Saints stopped at the sa ti...
From inside of the house, the crisp voice of a young girl could be heard. “Snowy, don’t run about! If you run off again, I’ll really hit you! You lazy fellow, to think you already put on so much weight... I can’t even carry you anymore! So infuriating! If you continue to grow fat like this, I’m going to abandon you! I don’t want you anymore!.... Don’t run! I’m so tired... You’re so fat, but why are you so good at running? Stop....”
Following that clear shout, a white animal ran over with a whoosh . It was the size of a lion cub, and its chubby body was covered in snowy white long fur. It’s eyes as pretty as rubies, and it was extrely adorable. It rolled playfully on the ground before running off again.
Following it, a young girl ca chasing from the inner house, panting heavily. “Snowy... if you keep running I will—Hm? Li You Ran? Why did Snowy beco Li You Ran? Could it be the legend of turning into human after it grows up? Snowy has such an ability?”
It was a beautiful young girl, and although there was still so baby fat on her face, it wasn’t hard to tell that she would definitely beco an alluring great beauty in a few year’s ti!
Her eyes were as clear as water, like the untainted spring waters of the mountains; she had fair skin like a porcelain doll, a sharp nose, a small cherry mouth, and dark and silky hair that was carelessly tied up, adding on to the energy and cheekiness of a young teenage girl.
Although she was wearing thick clothes in this harsh winter, her erald clothing fitted perfectly on her body, not making her look plump or reducing her body. Like a blooming gardenia in the morning after a spring rain, only one look was enough to make soone feel extrely refreshed and sincerely adore her.
What an adorable little girl!
“To think that it’s Miss Dugu. It’s been a while since we last t.” Li You Ran smiled and bowed slightly. “You’ve beco even more beautiful in these days that we haven’t t.”
“Pei! Li You Ran, who would want to et you? You hypocrite, can you wipe that hypocritical smile off your face? Do you know, the more I look at it, the more disgusted I get! Look at you, smiling like a woman, not even showing yourteeth 1 ; where is your manliness? Let’s not even use our Mo Xie to compare—any other man out there is more virile than you! Aiyaya, Li You Ran, you’ve always behaved like neither a male nor female! Do you know my teeth hurts just looking at you?”
This girl was Dugu Xiao Yi, and with a chain of insults like this, Li You Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Even the three Saints were taken aback!
All three Saints couldn’t help but raise a brow; they weren’t expecting this.What a beautiful, cute, bubbly, and adorable lady! But why is she so aggressive when she opens her mouth to speak? She is completely unafraid—is the world so wild nowadays? Back in our days, the ladies were so shy and reserved, to think that now it’s the other way around...
“How can Miss Dugu say such things; we are old friends after all... Degrading like this, how should I feel about it...” Li You Ran touched his nose awkwardly, but he did it in such a natural manner that no one could tell he was at a loss.
“Pui! Li You Ran, Aiyayaya... You really want to disgust to death! Who is old friends with you? Who am I? Are you worthy! I have no ti to waste with you; I need to go chase Snowy. Snowy, Snowy! Don’t run... Hm? Li You Ran, why did you change to these three followers?”
Dugu Xiao Yi was about to walk away calling out to Snowy, but she looked at the three Saints standing behind Li You Ran, looking at them as if she had discovered sothing new. With a face full of contempt, she pouted her lips and squinted. “Look at the three people you picked, tsktsk... Why are they so ugly? They all look hideous and stupid. You may be lesser than by a few folds, but you are still the young master of a worldly family. You should pick a few servants that look decent enough to be brought out! I really judge your taste... Soone like the three of them, haha, in our Jun Family, no matter how capable, just on their appearance alone, they would be naturally ant to clean the toilets!”
After thoroughly insulting them, Dugu Xiao Yi left to chase after Snowy.
