Volume 1 Chapter 11: Ji Yueying
"Senior Sister, if you don't mind me asking, who is your mother? And why master is so hell-bent on bringing her back that he'd even be willing to shake the Immortal World?"
After Li Mengzhi fixed his knees, the duo went to Fang Zhaoge's cottage to let him recuperate.
"My mother?"
Li Mengzhi stroked her ring for a while. It was a simple ring made out of silver with a smooth blue gem embedded into it.
"She's… cold. She's probably the coldest person you've ever met. That's why I always wonder, how did my father get together with my mother?"
Cold woman… Fang Zhaoge was reminded of the woman in the sphere. However, her eyes are crimson, and Li Tianwen described his wife's eyes as bright as the blue sky.
Maybe they're related? Fang Zhaoge cupped his chin thoughtfully as Li Mengzhi continued softly.
"She's also the most beautiful woman you'll probably ever see. She's like a bright moon that coldly looks over the world, yet it could bring warmth to the unwanted ones. Hence, her name is Ji Yue Ying."
"Towards me, she's as kind as a saintess. But towards my father, she's as… er, 'coy' as a demon."
Li Mengzhi's face turned strange. Certain memories of where she stayed in her mother's womb surfaced. That time when her father forgot about her consciousness and played a strange 'play' with her mother…
She coughed embarrassedly, blushing furiously. However, Fang Zhaoge was thinking deeply, so he did not catch her.
Ji Yueying, so it's that Ji Immortal Clan, right? The one who abducted Li Mengzhi and severely injured Li Tianwen.
He also heard the name of Ji Yentian. Is that his master's wife's father, or…?
Fang Zhaoge soon turned solemn. He began speculating fiercely, and soon he sighed in relief. Li Tianwen's face when he ascended did not seem like he'd meet an enemy who could not live in the same world as him.
It's more like a guy who wanted to take back something he wasn't supposed to have. Fang Zhaoge's mouth twitched.
So that's how it is, huh?
When he was young, his master fell in love with a girl from a ridiculously high background, and turns out she was the Holy Maiden and the daughter of a patriarch of a hegemon force. Thus he went on a journey to defy fate and take her back!
Damn! My master is definitely the main character! He definitely was!
However, it seems like it strayed a little bit from how it was supposed to go. Fang Zhaoge glanced at Li Mengzhi, the daughter of his master and his master's wife.
Damn! My master is so f*cking brave! He's definitely a man with an unstoppable momentum when he was young!
He penetrated the border without the father's permission! Even Fang Zhaoge wasn't confident he could do that!!!
Li Mengzhi noticed the excited look on Fang Zhaoge's face and had an urge to slap him. As a heroic woman, she didn't even hesitate!
PLACK!
"F*ck! Again, Senior Zhi?!"
He cursed furiously as he held his red, bulging cheek. But Li Mengzhi pretended nothing happened and continued flatly.
"My mother, Ji Yue Ying, is an unprecedented genius in zither. She could overturn the world with just a flick of her zither! She's like a being mightier than a Goddess when she plays her zither!"
Li Mengzhi's heroic watery eyes shone in admiration. Her mother had always been her role model. Beautiful, elegant, loving and fierce!
"When mother played her zither to kill, she'll be a cold demon who could reap quadrillions of lives! But when my father appears, she'll be as loving as a deadbeat wife, clinging to him all day long!"
This time, Fang Zhaoge smiled. He genuinely smiled. His master is indeed a lucky son of a b*tch. If he could come along, he'd definitely be the one who cheers the loudest when that irresponsible master takes back his wife!
She's the kind of wife worth shaking the Immortal World for!
"By the way, Senior Zhi, how strong is my master? What realm is he in?"
"Father's realm… is not something we could probe even when a being countless times stronger than us interfere."
Li Mengzhi wryly smiled as she looked up to the night sky. Perhaps her father could surpass the limit set up by them and free the world…
Her mother's knowledge was indeed extensive. Li Mengzhi could probably identify anything in this world as long as it didn't surpass the reach of the Immortal World!
"Then what about the Overlord aura?"
"The Overlord aura is an aura of a being who surpasses everyone and creates a new era!"
Fang Zhaoge almost stumbled. Damn! He's that awesome?!
Li Mengzhi knew what he was thinking, and her lips pouted as she nodded reluctantly. This Junior Brother Ge didn't look so dependable, but his aura was undeniably true according to the legends.
That overbearing, unreachable aura that no one could compare. An aura that was innate and could not be made up!
Fang Zhaoge had the urge to stand up and punch to express his excitement, but he cautiously looked at the pouting Li Mengzhi.
He won't be deceived by her coyness anymore!
Thus, he acted calmly as he nodded in understanding. It's better to stop probing her. He doesn't want to get slapped again…
"So, what's your current cultivation, Junior Brother? You're clearly stronger than most Nascent Soul practitioners even if you just use your fists. But you're still a Qi Refinement?"
Fang Zhaoge didn't hide it. He leisurely answered her with a smile, "20th stage."
Li Mengzhi wasn't shocked. She already expected it. After all, it was widely known that an overlord is a being who could overturn everyone's common sense and break every record in history!
Whatever an Overlord is proficient in, they would surpass the past, the present and the future!
Actually, she received the knowledge from other worlds through her mother who came from an exalted Immortal Clan. This world actually never managed to produce an Overlord yet…
But what she didn't know was the fact that Fang Zhaoge wanted to break through again! He felt like 20th Qi Refinement realm is not enough!
If he said that he wanted to be invincible in the Foundation Establishment realm as a Qi Refinement realm back then, now, he wanted to be invincible within the Divine Soul realm as a Qi Refinement realm!
Such an audacity!
He felt a sense of urgency. His master was too powerful. With a 'mere' 20th Qi Refinement realm, how could he overwhelm his master?
Others might feel hopeless, but Fang Zhaoge has something he could use! That's why he dared to surpass the fabled 20th Qi Refinement realm!
[Underdog Legend (Blue): You became more talented and powerful the more people underestimated you. Maximum amplification: 50x. Quality limit: Orange.]
Fang Zhaoge wondered, how to upgrade the quality's limit? His face turned confused. The system never specified the requirement to upgrade it.
Thankfully, once again, it felt his concern and a notice appeared.
[Notice: By combining 3 qualities with the same color, you could upgrade a quality]
Fang Zhaoge hurriedly checked his qualities to see if he had enough. His eyes moved crazily from the top to the bottom.
[Qualities: Underdog Legend (Blue) (50x talent and strength), Elemental Talker (White) (3x Elemental Comprehension), Sword Saint (Green) (5x Sword Aptitude), Unprecedented (Blue) (Invincible within the same realm), Born For Divine (Red) (100x divinity), No Life Cultivation (White) (2x temperament per month of seclusion), Absolute Pioneer (Blue) (25x created techniques' strength, 5x comprehension of techniques), I Also Want! (Orange) (Current status: Inactive), Bloodthirsty (White) (Current Amplification: 0x), Immortal Slayer (Black Golden)]
His eyes lit up. He has enough!
He could let go of Unprecedented easily. Although it's pretty good, his current strength is already invincible even in the Nascent Soul realm.
But Absolute Pioneer… Fang Zhaoge felt reluctant. 25x the power self-created techniques and 5x techniques comprehension…
After a few moments of hesitation, Fang Zhaoge steeled himself, and he shouted out heroically! The idle Li Mengzhi was startled, staring at Fang Zhaoge as if he were crazy.
"Combine for me!!!"
"Uh?"
[Notice: Combine Unprecedented, Pioneer Absolute and Underdog Legend. Confirm the combination by stating which quality will be upgraded!]
His heart churned, but Fang Zhaoge suppressed it. To gain something, he must sacrifice something!
"Underdog Legend!"
"Junior Brother, are you okay?"
Li Mengzhi was concerned. This Junior Brother kept saying random things. But Fang Zhaoge paid it no mind. He only wanted to witness how utterly overpowered the Underdog Legend quality would be if it was purple!
[Notice: Combination is successful!]
[Underdog Myth (Purple) has been obtained!]
[Underdog Myth (Purple): You became more talented and powerful the more people underestimated you. Maximum amplification: 500x. Quality limit: Orange.]
[Current amplification: 51x]
[Current amplification: 52x]
[Current amplification: 53x]
…
[Current amplification: 358x]
A direct tenfold increment!!
He could also feel the familiar feeling of his meridians. They became insatiable demons once again!
Fang Zhaoge was so excited that he impulsively messed up Li Mengzhi's hair and ran outside. Li Mengzhi was dumbfounded as her Junior Brother looked up to the sky and screamed in ecstasy!
"I have decided! I, Fang Zhaoge, shall be the Head of the Sword Peak! You disciples, come at me if you disagree!!!"
Behind him, a gloomy Li Mengzhi with tangled hair came out with her sword. Her heroic eyes had turned cold as she looked at the screaming idiot.
It's fine if you suddenly turned excited like a mental, but must you shake my head so much and mess up my hair? Do you know how hard it is for me to look good? And now you messed it up just like that?
Fang Zhaoge grinned widely before an overbearing sword crashed against him like a hurled mountain! His face changed drastically as Li Mengzhi delivered another blow.
"The f*cking sixth slash–?!"
Why the f*ck would someone perform the damn sixth slash when he was in such a good mood?!
"Fang Zhaoge, you dare to mess up my hairstyle that I've been perfecting in my mother's womb for 50 years?!"
Fang Zhaoge held up his fist as the overbearing strike crashed against him yet again! And behind it, an overturning strike was delivered as if he was not human.
"Who the f*ck would spend 50 years on her mother's womb for some stupid hairstyle!"
Damn! Damn the system! Damn his excitement! Damn the one who created hairstyles! Someone actually attacked him with the Seventh Slash of the Seven Slashes Severing the Seven Seas all because of some stupid hairstyle!
"Me! It's me! Fang Zhaoge, I didn't expect you to be so disdainful towards me! I definitely have to teach you a lesson on behalf of my father!"
Thus, Fang Zhaoge got beaten up again. He felt sad, he was clearly invincible, so why did he always get beaten up?
If he did not teach her a lesson in the future, no one could refute him even if he was kicked by a donkey!
When Fang Zhaoge got hit, the impact of the Seventh Slash was so powerful his figure actually got hurled across thousands of kilometres before he crashed against the Frozen Hall Peak.
An innocent, beautiful junior sister of the Frozen Hall Peak was about to change into her pyjamas from her bitter cultivation when a shadow crashed against her room. She paused for a moment, her brain was unable to react due to her fear.
When the figure shakily stood up, the tragic figure of Fang Zhaoge was exposed. The girl originally wanted to scream, but Fang Zhaoge was too handsome. His tragic state caused some strange feelings in her heart.
Maybe… maybe I could tie him to my bed–?
"Ehem, Junior Sister from the Frozen Hall Peak, I apologize for the inconvenience. Please accept my compensation. Farewell!"
Unfortunately, the godly handsome figure was quickly taken by a beautiful figure. The innocent junior sister sighed sadly. Even the pouch that contains countless spiritual stones could not appease her sadness.
A few minutes later, Fang Zhaoge went back to his previous situation. This time, he even had to get his ribs and his spine fixed…
Li Mengzhi coughed as she fixed her hair stiffly. Fang Zhaoge blankly looked at her, staring straight into her guilty soul.
"Tell me Sister Zhi, is it worth it?"
"Er, of course!"
Li Mengzhi puffed out her proud chest to hide her guilt, but what he said next shocked her.
"It means you won't tell the master if I teached you a lesson in the future, right?"
"What does that mean?"
Fang Zhaoge grinned mysteriously as he looked at her.
"Whatever means you wanted it to be."
"Fang Zhaoge!"
