Chapter 2188: Chapter 2183 - Give Me Three Months

Dongshen Yue hadn’t really done anything during the recent period of time but guide Tianming and his wives in cultivation. As long as it was something she had, they generally just had to request it and she would provide it. She was especially thorough in protecting them and basically never left them; she was quite meticulous.

“Xiaogui’s here as well?” Dongshen Yue saw Lin Xiaogui behind Tianming and her gaze turned gentler.

“Greetings, Granny Dongshen.” Lin Xiaogui respectfully lowered her head.

“Not bad, not bad! You’re already a grade-five disciple. Have you applied for an elder’s protection yet?” Dongshen Yue asked.

“Not yet.”

“Don’t delay it,” Dongshen Yue seriously said. She was implying that since Lin Xiaogui had no backing and had angered the disciples of the third and fifth branches, she would probably be targeted.

“Yes, Granny,” Lin Xiaogui said.

“Actually, don’t bother. Those heartless things will probably stay away from you, as they’re afraid of offending someone. How about this? Move to my Brokensword Peak. Go pack your bags now and you can be neighbors with my grandson’s group and cultivate and train with them,” Dongshen Yue said.

“Ah, this… Granny, is this really okay? I’m from the first branch.” Lin Xiaogui’s gaze trembled.

“Of course! I mean, how much will it take to feed you? Come along now,” Tianming said. In the end, Lin Xiaogui had offended Lin Jianjia for his sake and he didn’t want her to suffer for it. It was too tragic to be a child without roots.

“Those brats from the third branch aren’t being raised properly. Each one is worse than the last,” Dongshen Yue said.

“Yes! Thank you, Granny. I’ll be troubling you.” Lin Xiaogui was very grateful. It was a day filled with hope for her. She now had friends, as well as people willing to accept her.

“Time to go.” They boarded the mini ship and returned to Brokensword Peak together. Lin Xiaogui didn’t really have anything to bring, as all of her possessions were on her.

“Xiaoxiao said she could eat caeli to cultivate. I gave her some personal assets that aren’t part of the clan, but I didn’t expect it to be real. She suddenly rose to become a third-level stellaminor.… Honestly, where did you find so many monstrous wives?” Dongshen Yue stared at Tianming.

“She told you about it?” Tianming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. For the sake of her breakthrough, Xiaoxiao had no filter and had just said everything.

“Of course. Little punk, how could you hide it from grandma!” Dongshen Yue seized hold of Tianming’s hair and began thwacking him, giving him a taste of Lin Xiao’s daily life. “So, how’d you find them?”

“You see, Granny, when a man is awesome enough, beautiful wives will flock toward them even if millions of kilometers separate them,” Tianming said.

“What a mouth you have. In the sixth level of the vault, Feiling broke through to become a third-level stellaminor. Even in the entire Infinitum Mundus, not even the ebons in the same age group may be able to compete with her. Their names and information are spreading through the whole of Ebonia right now. Not long from now, many challengers from various clans will be drawn over. Your wives are shining so brightly, but you? Where’s your minor stellar chart? It’s already been three months, didn’t you say you could become a stellaminor in half a year’s time?” Dongshen Yue scolded.

Tianming wanted to cry but had no tears. He had already broken through three levels—what could he do if he still wasn’t a stellaminor? “Give me three more months. I’ll definitely succeed,” he said.

“I don’t mind, as long as you don’t embarrass your wives.”

“How could I? When I got the inheritance of two reges mundi, you must’ve been over the moon. You might not have said anything, but I’m sure my talent won you over and made you relieved.” Tianming grinned.

“Thick-skinned brat!” Dongshen Yue continued her punishment and Lin Xiaogui scrambled to the side, afraid of being dragged into it.

“Right, what about Little Fish?”

“Her blood pact’s been undone. It was quite a simple pact with some room to manipulate it, so her divine will is still sound. I’ve been helping her rebuild her cultivation every day. She should be able to recover to her former level in another two months, then improve further…. Of course, I did notice that her cultivation speed isn’t as fast as Ling’er and Xiaoxiao,” Dongshen Yue seriously responded.

Honestly, meeting Dongshen Yue had been a blessing for Moran. Her blood pact had truly hampered her future growth. Fortunately, it was fixed now, while her level was still low. If she hadn’t met Dongshen Yue and had continued bitterly cultivating, it would have been ineffective and would also have worsened her condition, making it harder to fix.

As for talent in cultivation speed… not even Tianming could catch up to the other two girls, let alone Weisheng Moran.

……

The mini ship quickly returned to Brokensword Peak. Feiling and the rest were there and got to know Lin Xiaogui. Although Lin Xiaogui’s personality was more tomboyish, she still got along with the other girls. She had already known that his wives were all incredible and his family life was perfect.

“Congratulations, your wives are all so beautiful,” Lin Xiaogui said.

Tianming was startled. “Do you swing that way?”

“Who knows? They’re all too pretty,” Lin Xiaogui said,

“Well, not like you’ve got a chance.” Tianming looked at her with disdain.

Brokensword Peak wasn’t lacking in places to stay, so Lin Xiaogui quickly settled down. Her life had been very monotonous before. She either cultivated or earned merit points, then went to either Swordsoul Purgatory or the Caeli Vault. Maybe at most, she would occasionally go to the emporium to exchange for cultivation resources.

It overlapped with Tianming’s activities, so he would often bring her along as a native guide. It was even more convenient now that Dongshen Yue had let her live with them. However, now that he was an eleventh-level solarian, Tianming wouldn’t go to Swordsoul Purgatory for now; he had more important things on his plate.

The Grandvoid Compendium and Xiaozhi Sword Art! The two inheritances were hot potatoes for as long as he was unable to show them. Billions of eyes across the clan were paying attention to him. “My name is so famous now that, if I handle this badly, the fall will be just as bad and I’ll be a laughingstock.” The pressure was real! Within a dark cultivation chamber, he took out the Grand-Orient Sword. The two steles had become small swords on his arm; as long as he let his astralforce flow, the core inheritance of the two sword arts would appear in front of his eyes.

“Should I go with Delayed Capture or the Xiaozhi Sword Art first? Whatever, they’re both hard, so I’ll start with what I stole first.”

He activated the stele for Delayed Capture. Black light shone on it and a black-robed person appeared in front of him. His hair was so wild and messy that his head looked several times bigger up close than from afar. His robes were shabby as well, he was barefoot, his entire body was dirty, his beard was untidy, and completing the image was a wretched smile….

“You’re Grandvoid Swordfiend, the Swordfiend of Time? You clearly look like you’re void of something!” Tianming said with disdain.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
