Chapter 395 Master Divine
Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
It was very late at night.
The disciples were already sleeping. Yet, there was a murderous atmosphere in the air. Some disciples tossed and turned in the wee hours of the night and wrapped themselves in blankets to reduce the chill.
“M-master?”
Xiaobai glanced at Master uneasily.
Lu Ming was expressionless.
At this very moment...
Xiao-Xiaojian was still making a speech excitedly.
“Is our president noble and great?
“Yes!
“Even he dressed in female clothing. What are you afraid of?!
“Humans are classified as either a man or woman. Even the president is willing to dress in female clothing. As spirit bodies, you don’t have a gender. Why do you have to feel wronged when you feminise yourself!?
“Think about it.
“There are thousands of spirit bodies. When is it going to be your turn! You will only be chosen after you increase your own level of competitiveness!
“So...”
“So what if you feminise yourself?!”
Xiao-Xiaojian was in high spirits.
Yes, yes...
The spirit bodies were deeply convinced.
Shush!
Shush!
The square was silent except for the sounds made by their pens. The spirit bodies were taking notes seriously.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Xiaobai was silent.
Goodness.
She was afraid that Xiao-Xiaojian was going to take a beating soon.
Blinking her big eyes, she sentenced Xiao-Xiaojian to death in advance... She was even pondering whether Master would look for a new card spirit!
After all...
There seemed to be ancient spirit bodies among these few thousand spirit bodies!
Yes.
Perhaps changing a spirit body for Master could be on the agenda.
Xiaobai noted this down seriously.
Lu Ming was suppressing the strong murderous intent in his heart.
The spirit bodies were present and it was not appropriate for him to appear now. Looking at their hope-filled eyes, Lu Ming’s scalp turned numb.
If he were to appear now...
“President, how do you feel about dressing in female clothing?”
“President, you’re so beautiful!”
“President, is that really you?”
“President, have you considered becoming transgender?”
“President, President...”
Lu Ming felt his body turning cold at the thought of it.
Forget it.
He would endure it first.
“Xiaobai.”
“Yes.”
“Clear the grounds.”
“Okay.”
Xiao-Xiaobai nodded obediently and then called Xiao-Xiaobai over.
Whoosh!
Cold lights flashed.
A crystal clear Original Card flashed across the night sky. The spirit bodies that were taking notes shivered in fear. Even Xiao-Xiaojian was frightened and its countenance changed drastically.
“Oh no!”
“Xiao-Xiaobai is here to inspect the grounds!”
“Quickly run!”
The spirit bodies were lost and frantic.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Lights and shadows flashed.
The spirit bodies ran off quickly and no one else remained behind.
When Xiao-Xiaobai rushed over, there was pin-drop silence at the love affinity department. The spirit bodies were lying and resting in their department dormitories, sleeping peacefully.
Well...
Xiao-Xiaobai might as well stay there.
Buzz—
Buzz—
Lights flashed.
It began to patrol the love affinity department.
The spirit bodies turned pale. They had no choice but to go to sleep.
...
At this very moment...
Somewhere.
Xiao-Xiaojian fled the love affinity department in a flash.
It was true.
He was an Original Card with a master!
How could one compare its ability with that of these spirit bodies born in the wilderness?! The first characteristic of an Original Card was that they could return to the cultivator’s side unconditionally!
Therefore...
At the sight of the dangerous situation, its heart trembled slightly and it returned immediately.
Snort! Snort!
Are you thinking of catching me?
Well...
Lu Ming should be sleeping by now?
Buzz—
Xiao-Xiaojian finally returned amid the lights and shadows. Afterward, it saw two familiar figures in front of it... Lu Ming and Xiaobai were staring at it coldly.
Eh?
Xiao-Xiaojian was dazed.
Lu Ming...
Wait a minute.
Xiaobai is also here?!
This timing, this position...
Ss——
Xiao-Xiaojian gasped a breath of air.
Could it be that Lu Ming could no longer suppress his impulses during the hot summer and finally laid his hands on Xiaobai?! It is no wonder he has such a strange look in his eyes!
Well...
It had disturbed them!
Well...
It quietly retreated.
Afterward, being sharp-eyed, he noticed a small box with a very small gap beside Lu Ming. Although the gap was very small, it was not a problem for him. It swept its thoughts across the box and saw what was inside. It was a strange leather whip.
Well...
It was very late at night.
It was silent.
Lu Ming, Xiaobai, leather whip...
Ss——
Xiao-Xiaojian gasped a breath of air again.
This was Lu Ming, indeed!
Do you have to go to such an extent during your first time?!
And...
It cast a surprised gaze at Xiaobai. It already knew that Xiaobai was very special but it did not expect such huge energy behind that small frame of hers!
Well...
They are a perfect match!
Hence...
Xiao-Xiaojian pondered seriously and decided to leave.
“Cough, cough. You guys can continue. I didn’t see anything.”
Lu Ming was expressionless.
Xiaobai glanced at Xiao-Xiaojian as if it was an idiot. It then took out her notebook and amended the word ‘on hold’ to ‘immediate execution’.
“Do you want to know something?
“I just went to the love affinity department,” Lu Ming said calmly.
Thump!
Xiao-Xiaojian’s heart jumped wildly. It finally realized that something was amiss. It then fled outside immediately, transformed into a flash of light and disappeared in the sky...
However... It was such a pity.
Lu Ming merely waved his hand.
Shush!
Xiao-Xiaojian returned to his side again.
Bam!
Lu Ming slammed this guy on the ground and the little leather whip in his hands finally landed on it...
“Ah—”
Sounds of miserable screams could be heard continuously.
It was extremely spooky.
“Lu Ming, I was wrong!
“Scoundrel, how dare you hit your sword grandpa!
“Ss— It hurts...
“Xiaobai, save me. Oo....”
Xiao-Xiaojian screamed miserably.
“Humph!”
Xiaobai’s voice could be heard. She pretended that she did not see this. Xiao-Xiaojian had been getting naughtier and naughtier recently. They certainly had to teach it a lesson.
Hence...
Late at night, tragic and miserable cries could be heard coming from the Sword Card Master Association.
...
At this very moment...
Somewhere.
In a certain alliance located on the third level underground.
Seated around a conference table, everyone was silent and grave. In front of them was a piece of information from their spy who risked their life to send them this. It was shocking and eerie.
“Is this piece of information... reliable?”
One of the cultivators asked with a low voice.
“It’s true.”
That person was certain.
“Turn on the sound recording!”
“Yes!”
Hence...
Frightening sounds of whips and wailing could be heard in the recording. There were even menacing laughter of humans and strange and mysterious lights flashing continuously in the dark...
It was unsettling and horrifying.
“I knew that there was a problem with the Sword Card Master Association!”
One of the cultivators was furious.
“Look!
“They are not sleeping in the middle of the night!
“There are wails as well as savage noises...
“Is this a horror movie?!”
“Should we report this to the police?” someone said with a low voice.
“Where’s the proof? There are only voices. Where are the images?”
That cultivator glared at him.
“Uh...
“The staff member whom we bribed didn’t dare go near them at all.”
That person sighed.
“Aren’t you bullshitting us then!”
The cultivator said, “Remember, we need concrete evidence for such matters! Proof that can immediately sentence them to death before we hand anything to the police. Understand?!”
“What should we do now?”
“Wait! Wait until we can film the real thing!”
“W-what about our plan...”
“Execute it as arranged!”
“However... It’s very dangerous!”
That person was very worried.
It was true.
There were no risks in executing this plan in the past. However, after watching this video and hearing that laughter which seemed to be Lu Ming’s, they were filled with fright and terror!
“Don’t worry.
“We are around.
“This is an opportunity that we have to seize!
“Haven’t you guys heard of the Flying Pig Theory? As long as one is standing on the wind gap, even pigs can fly. The card spirits are now the wind gap!
“And the Sword Card Master Association... is that pig!
“Our body will become stronger only when we have a better foundation! As long as we can find the right wing gap, haha, we won’t need the Sword Card Master Association anymore!’
...
Right then...
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming was still teaching Xiao-Xiaojian a lesson harshly.
He had bought his leather whip for a long time but put it aside temporarily as many things had happened lately. Xiao-Xiaojian had also been behaving fine. Unexpectedly, it came in handy now.
Lashing the spirit soul!
It would enter the spirit body directly!
It made them experience what flying felt like.
Well...
There was nothing wrong with that.
“Master, take a rest,” Xiaobai said after taking a glance at the miserable Xiao-Xiaojian.
“Yes.”
Lu Ming then stopped.
Oo... Oo...
Xiao-Xiaojian cast a grateful look at Xiaobai.
True enough.
Xiaobai treated him best...
“Have some food.”
Xiaobai served the supper that she had just prepared. Helping Lu Ming wipe his sweat, she said gently, “Master, have some food. You can continue after you regain your energy.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
“Humph!
Lu Ming snorted coldly. “I’ll replace it sooner or later!”
He had discovered something.
Xiao-Xiaojian belonged to the type that would rip the tiles on the roof off if not given a beating for three days. If he were to treat it slightly better, it would start to get out of hand...
Well...
This whip would become a norm in the future.
However...
Lu Ming was still very worried.
Although Xiao-Xiaojian had been taught a lesson, some things would never be the same again...
The next day.
Xiaobai did a poll and was shocked to discover that initial population ratio of 70% male, 20% female and 10% genderless had completely changed!
The current statistics...
Well...
It was 80% female, 15% male and 5% genderless.
?_?
Besides a minority of straight males that believed in the dominance of strength and spirit bodies indifferent to life and death, the majority had undergone a gender change!
Hence...
The love affinity department where one could previously hear various beast-like roars was now filled with a bevy of young females...
“Come on, customer...”
“Wrong!!!”
“What is wrong with this? This is in the books!”
“Which book did you read?!”
“The Golden Lotus!”
“Humans address them as customers. We should address them as friends or cultivators. Of course, before that, we can call them Master. That will sound more pleasant.”
“Oh.”
The few spirit bodies confirmed the address after a round of arguments.
Hence...
The culture of the love affinity department changed. As soon as one approached it, a beautiful, fair and slender leg would wave to them. “Come on, Master~”
Xiaobai was silent.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Who could stand this?!
Especially Li Ergou who had just chosed his spirit body!
Li Ergou glanced at the young ladies in the love affinity department and then his own family’s big yellow dog. Bitterness crept into his heart. Why did he have to be that anxious?!
If he had waited a little longer...
Ah...
He felt mad at the thought of it!
However, he was unaware of something...
At this moment...
Nesting in the Original Card, the big yellow dog looked at the whines coming from the love affinity department and then at his brown-nosing master. It felt bitter as well.
Perhaps...
It was not bad to remain in the love affinity department?!
If it had known that there were that many females in the love affinity department, it would not have rushed out of there that anxiously!
He had suffered a huge loss!
As for re-cultivation...
It did not even dare to think about it.
As a wild and untamed spirit body, spirit bodies like itself which were shoved into the card might disappear if the Original Card was destroyed for its re-cultivation!
This was true!
Therefore...
It could only look at the love affinity department helplessly.... with a longing gaze.
...
In the afternoon.
Lu Ming was in the midst of researching the Art of Equalization when Li Haoran suddenly came looking for him.
“Master.”
“Oh?”
“Well...”
Pausing for a moment, Li Haoran said with some embarrassment. “Someone reported that your room was quite noisy last night and Senior Sister was also around... Cough cough cough...”
Li Haoran said embarrassedly.
Master is Master.
Well...
It is a pity...
This kind of matter...
He didn’t dare to question or talk about it.
“Well...
“Master.
“You have to take care of your body,” Li Haoran put his words across subtlety.
Lu Ming turned sullen.
What is on his mind?
Am I that kind of person?
Li Haoran this brat... Wait a minute. Something’s wrong. Yesterday, Xiao-Xiaobai took action and all the spirit bodies went back to sleep abidingly!
As for the disciples...
None of them were out.
Therefore...
Who reported this?!
Lu Ming knew that there were some spirit bodies who were taking advantage of the crisis for personal gain. It was also possible that they were sent there by other associations. However, none of the spirit bodies were out the day before because Xiao-Xiaobai was around!
Therefore...
“Are you able to see the network address?”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
“Okay.”
Li Haoran accessed the website of the association and found out the network address very quickly. Well... It was a very familiar address and a familiar device.
Device serial number: TEK067
Device owner: Xiao-Xiaojian
Lu Ming was speechless.
Li Haoran was speechless.
Fine.
It seemed that Xiao-Xiaojian was the one stirring up trouble again.
“Sorry, Master.”
Li Haoran felt guilty.
It actually suspected the Master of messing around? This is too much!
Is Master that kind of person?
“It’s okay.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly. “How’s the evaluation on the disciple applications getting along?”
“Finished soon.”
Li Haoran was very thrilled.
The Sword Card Master Association had become very popular lately!
It was all thanks to the beasts tide. The Sword Card Master Association and even the crossroads affiliated college had become very popular! There were over ten thousand applications!
He was both suffering and happy for the past two days.
Xiao-Xiaoshé had been evaluating with him for 24 hours a day without any rest.
“Don’t worry, Master!
“A new batch of qualified disciples will appear very soon!”
Li Haoran was full of pride.
There had already attained initial success to the evaluation. Even after going through a round of eliminations, this was the largest batch of recruits since the establishment of the Sword Card Master Association!
“Very good.”
Lu Ming felt very satisfied. “Go ahead and settle it soon then.”
“Yes!”
Li Haoran left in high spirits.
Lu Ming looked afar. His gaze landed on the spirit body department and then on Xiao-Xiaojian.
Report him?!
Oh, hahahaha...
That afternoon.
Lu Ming summoned Xiao-Xiaojian back and a fatherly and loving smile emerged on his face. “Xiao-Xiaojian, you have a very profound understanding of gender issues. In your view, is Brother Cat is male or female?”
Brother Cat?
Isn’t it a eunuch...
Xiao-Xiaojian instinctively thought for a moment and then realized that something was not right.
Crash!
A black shadow flashed.
It was blasted away instantly.
Crash!
Crash!
The black shadow smashed it harshly several times and buried it deep underground.
The hole was bottomless!
After a long time...
Xiao-Xiaojian then climbed up with exhaustion...
“You’re out?”
Lu Ming took a sip of tea.
“Humph!
Xiao-Xiaojian sneered. It would not be tricked again!
“Please relax.
“I won’t beat you today.”
Lu Ming smiled faintly. “I just want to make you understand something. For example, how did Brother Cat and I meet each other? You will be able to see it when you do the deductions.”
Xiao-Xiaojian pondered for a moment.
Well...
There should no longer be any traps if he were asking him to deduce!
Hence...
It began to deduce the encounter between Lu Ming and the black cat. Since it dared not deduce the black cat, it focused on Lu Ming and then saw the card that the black cat was residing in previously.
Well...
It was a very special card and there was ‘NC 18’ on it...
NC 18?
Xiao-Xiaojian was stunned. How would Brother Cat be residing in an NC 18 card?! Wait a minute... In that case, Brother Cat is... Perhaps...
Ss——
Xiao-Xiaojian gasped a breath of cold air.
Instantly.
Some unspeakable scenes flashed across its mind.
Afterward...
It disappeared.
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
Lu Ming sipped his tea quietly. He could vaguely feel the booming noises in his mind. A faint smile emerged on his face.
Well... That felt great.
That was just letting it off easily!
Who told you to be that naughty!
You’re a goner this time!
...
