The immortal assembly continued as I returned, only to see that most of these kids lacked immortal aptitude.
"Chen'er, don't worry, not all are destined to be immortal. No need to force yourself, or feel sad about it."
Sad, me... Why?
"Don't hide it, just accept it and move on."
Hey, I'm not depressed or anything, and stop hugging me, it's embarrassing.
I'm already five. I'm not a child anymore.
"Li Chen, I know you are sad; it's common for you. I was too sad when I failed the immortal test in the past. There's no regret about that; that's our fate."
What the hell with you all? I just went out for a bit cause I need to go to the toilet.
As for immortal aptitude, these lowly mortals are not qualified to understand this emperor's talent.
"Li Chen, shut your mouth, think twice before spouting nonsense."
Huh, whatever.
"Earth element high-grade spirit root.
A promising seedling indeed."
"See, it's Wu Fang, Wu family is really blessed."
People started to chatter about Wu Fang, praising him and his family. And more...
"Li Family's authority is in trouble, Wu Family is likely to take over the village. Heaven has really blessed the Wu family. We should form a good connection with them."
Hmph... Li Family doesn't need heaven's blessing; they have me.
These mortals are truly pathetic.
System.
Yes, Host, what's the matter?
Give me a low-grade talent so I can show these lowly mortals their place. How dare they disrespect this emperor?
Host, please understand it I can't help you here. They're just mortals, Host. How can they understand the bigger picture?
Hm, alas... I planned to let these mortals see heaven, but their vision can't see it. Not my fault.
Yes, Host, let them be; they are just insects.
"Chen'er, don't worry, our Li family foundation is strong enough; even if Wu Fang becomes immortal, he won't be able to affect our Li family."
I know, Mom, now can you please let go of me?
Aah... stop it. I'm not a child anymore, I'm 5, 5-year-old.
"Even if you were 15, you would still be a child for me."
System
Yes, what's happened now?
Check, is she possessed by a demon or something?
Host, she's completely fine.
Really.
Yes, 100%
"Wood element mid-tier spiritual root."
Another announcement came from the stage. I turned my head only to find an 8-year-old child.
Fuck now even this brat is showing off. While I'm here just because of you.
Host, don't blame me for these immortals not being able to see through higher-tier talent.
Shut up...
"Zhou has an immortal talent; our Zhou family is blessed by heaven."
Once again crowd erupted in praises.
What lowly insects.
The Immortals ceremony continued, and one by one, children continued to go on the stage, only to be disappointed.
Finally, again, silence broke.
"Dark element, Heavenly Grade spirit root."
But this time, no praise follows along. Except only the voice of a woman crying came from, side. She was sobbing in a low voice. Tears were streaming down her face.
I looked at the girl, and only then did I get to know why no one was praising heaven this time.
Yun Yue, this little squirrel has immortal potential. I should have known that being close to this emperor only brings blessings.
"How can that witch daughter have an immortal talent. What a disgrace."
"Hey, don't spout nonsense. Now she isn't just her mother, but she is a mother of an immortal."
People's whispers continued for a while.
I don't know what's wrong with these people.
Finally, it's coming to an end, and I can go back and sleep now.
"Pure Yin, Heavenly grade spiritual root."
"Look, another immortal seedling. She is from Li family."
Another chaos erupted.
Huh... I looked back only to find that annoying brat was also an immortal seedling.
Fuck, except me, all get to show off.
It's all your fault, system.
System...
"Chen'er, see, your sister will be immortal in the future."
Yeah, I have seen it. Now, I'm going back.
"Chen'er, wait for the ceremony to end."
"Let him go, maybe he will work hard from now on, instead of being idle all the time."
"Hm..."
Host, you should have waited for the end of the ceremony.
And why would I wait for the ceremony to end?
Cause your big sister is now an immortal seedling with top-rated talent. You can cling to her to climb through the path of immortality.
You mf, do you even know what you're talking about? This emperor clings to others to become immortal.
What the hell do you take me for?
Host, calm down.
Fuck off...
Host, host...
What the hell, say it quick or...
I have given you a special gift bag.
Huh... what is it?
Information appeared in front of me on a translucent screen in front of my eyes.
Heavenly Thunder Spiritual Root (Blue Grade): Enhances the host's cultivation of thunder-related secret manuals. Cultivation speed increases by 10x.
Oh, what is it for?
Host, didn't you want to show off? With this talent, you can slap their faces?
Good, haha...
Let's go and show these mortals their place.
I sped through my way back to the village square. But when I arrived ceremony had ended.
I looked through the crowd, which was still there.
But a figure jumped at me.
"Little brother, did you see that your sister is now an immortal.
In the future, if anybody bullies you, just tell me.
I'll teach them a lesson."
Why are you still here? Didn't Immortal take you back with them?
"What do you want your sister to leave so quickly? What an unfilial brother."
Huh...
"Oh, come with me... "
Why are you dragging me? I can walk.
She strode through the crowd, coming in front of that immortal woman in blue. The girl from the tea house also stood there.
"Little brother, be courteous in front of them, don't disgrace us."
Huh...
'What a joke, me disgracing her, this brat truly doesn't know the difference between heaven and earth.'
"Master, senior sister, he is my little brother."
'You, say sometimes.'
Oh, me... My name is Li Chen. She is my big sister Li Qing.
"You... Master, I ask for forgiveness on his behalf; He hasn't learned proper etiquette."
"No worries, He is just a kid."
Hm... You all continue, I'm leaving.
I turned, leaving them behind. As I walked out of the crowd, I encountered another fool blocking my way. Ignoring him, I walked forward.
"Where running away, you coward, Li Chen. Are you scared of this immortal?"
Scared of you, Haha...
Don't make such a joke, though it was really funny.
"You... Today, I, Wu Fang, will show the difference between mortals and immortals."
His words attracted all the people around.
"Oh, see, Wu Fang is teaching that Li Chen a lesson."
"I have already known sooner or later that Li Chen will suffer. Li family has truly spoiled him; he doesn't even give respect to immortals."
Wow, gathering people to get attention from this emperor is good.
Haha... But I'm not in the mood to play around.
Fuck off.
"You... "
He raised his hand, moving towards me.
'Actually, I have known these mortals are fools, but didn't expect to be such a lowly being. Bringing their own demise. Lucky of them, this emperor is benevolent. To let them live.'
As I was about to show this brat his place, a black shadow jumped at him, bearly saving his life from my hand.
"Aa... "
A loud scream escaped from Wu Fang's mouth. As the Dust settled, I saw the little black biting his arm.
Little black let go of his hand, swinging his tail, came to likely asking for Praise.
Hey, Little black, I already told you not to bite random trash. From now you're my official pet. If you were to bite such trash, people would think I can't even feed my dog.
Let's go home. I will ask the servant to prepare a royal banquet for you.
Walking out of amids these lowly people, finally I got some fresh air.
Little Black, you did a good job, but remember you are not allowed but trash. It will disgrace to your royal self.
Woof! Woof!
Good that you understand.
...
Mean, while whole Wu clan was fuming in rage.
"His bone is broken, but no need to worry with this elixir; he will be fine in just a few days."
"Thank you, immortal, for your kindness."
"It isn't a big deal, he is also our future disciple."
The woman in the dark blue outfit stood a bit far away, watching the whole scene.
"Your little brother sure knows how to cause trouble."
"I, I... Will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back."
"No need, this isn't anything. The path of immortality is cruel. There are people who can do far worse than you can ever imagine."
"I will remember your advice, master."
"I want to try mortal cuisine. I'm hungry."
"Senior, why don't you come to our house? We have the best chef in the village."
"Oh, really, then what are we waiting for? Let's go."
"Master, will you come too?"
"Hm... Thought cultivators don't really need to eat, but occasionally it's good to have something unique."
