My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 159 Little Xiong’s Apprenticeship

Chapter 159 Little Xiong’s Apprenticeship

Boom! With a muffled sound, the ground shook. Li Changshou was quick-witted and did not move. His left hand was pressed on the other party’s petite head and burly body. He pressed her face against the grass!

If he had not acted fast enough, she would have shouted ‘Sea God’!

What should I do?

She said ‘Hai (1. Sea in Chinese, sounds like “Hi”]’. Should I have replied with ‘Hello’!?!

With so many pairs of eyes watching, he could not possibly use the True Samadhi Flames to burn and get rid of her...

In an instant, Li Changshou made his decision!

He secretly used his immortal senses to send a voice transmission to the young girl. However, he revealed an excited expression and shouted, “Lingli! Why are you here!?!”

He secretly said via voice transmission, “If you dare to say those two words, I will get your village chief to come and deal with you tomorrow! Hurry and call me... Cousin! I have something important to do that concerns the survival of Xiong Village. If you expose my identity, Xiong Village will be in danger! If you understand, snort three times!”

Xiong Lingli’s thick limbs trembled and made a “hmph” sound while on the ground.

Did she really understand?

At that moment, the people from the Carefree Immortal Sect beside him had already reacted. They frowned and looked at him. The few disciples who arrived with Xiong Lingli were all shocked.

Everyone from the Immortal Du Sect looked at Li Changshou...

Li Changshou released his grip and smiled. He looked emotional.

Xiong Lingli supported herself with both hands and pulled her face out of the ground.

Her face, which was obviously that of an adorable girl with long eyelashes, was now stained with soil and grass. However, she looked at Li Changshou excitedly and shouted, “What...”

Li Changshou glared at her, and Xiong Lingli immediately cringed. She called, “Cousin...”

“Ah, Lingli, I haven’t seen you for so many years. You’ve grown much taller.”

Li Changshou smiled, but Xiong Lingli nodded. For some reason, her eyes turned red as she muttered softly, “I... I didn’t betray you or lose you.”

The elders, executives, and disciples of the Immortal Sects that were not important to the Immortal Sects next door were all confused.

Jiu Jiu, who had been holding back from playing a fool with Li Changshou all the way, stood up and looked at the place, so did Youqin Xuanya, who had a cold expression on her face.

What is going on?

Li Changshou secretly did the calculations. Out of all sorts of considerations, he would rather reveal a small portion of his cultivation trump card than reveal that he was the Sea God of the South Ocean!

It was one thing for his reputation to be affected by the Jade Emperor. If he attracted the attention of the Western Sect, it would seriously threaten his life! Hence, Li Changshou could only play along and respond to Xiong Lingli’s words.

“Ah, I was the one who insisted on leaving that time to seek immortal cultivation.” Li Changshou sighed. “I have wronged you. Lingli, you must have been scolded by your village chief.”

However, he continued to use his immortal senses to send a voice transmission.

“Don’t mention this. I am indeed the Sea God, but I am only an incarnation of the Sea God. There are tens of thousands of incarnations that the Sea God has saved. This incarnation of mine also has its own mission. Lingli, tell me about your life lately.”

Xiong Lingli blinked, her eyes full of admiration.

Li Changshou smiled and asked, “However, Lingli, why are you here?”

Xiong Lingli’s expression became even more aggrieved. She whispered, “Brother, my parents gave birth to a younger brother again. They sent me here and told me to look for my master to learn some Dharma spells. Just like what the Sixth Uncle said next door said. They won’t love me anymore now that they have a younger child!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

What is this?

Back then, before Li Changshou sent the army of paper effigies to deal with the Sea God in the South Ocean, Xiong Lingli had been sent to the Middle Continent to join an immortal sect.

Li Changshou did not expect Xiong Lingli to join the Carefree Immortal Sect.

From the looks of it, she seemed to be dissatisfied with that encounter. She was indignant and resentful towards her parents who doted on her younger sibling.

Li Changshou smiled and casually drew a stream of spring water which he then handed to her.

Xiong Lingli blinked and looked at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou smiled and nodded, gesturing for her to wash her face.

However, Xiong Lingli opened her mouth and swallowed a mouthful of water. She sucked hard and swallowed the clear spring water in one gulp.

That was the blessing of the Sea God!

Li Changshou frowned and suddenly realized...

Little Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu does not seem very smart sometimes but that’s because she is often drunk, causing her character to be a little drunk. However, she is very smart when she is serious.

However, Xiong Lingli who was in front of him had grown up in an environment in Xiong Village where relatives would marry and produce offspring... She was really strong and burly.

That kind of person was the most difficult to deal with. Perhaps, she might turn around and say that he was the Sea God.

What should I do? Find a place to get rid of her?

Xiong Village is now my direct subordinate. It is too inappropriate for me to treat Xiong Lingli like this.

He was a little stable, but he had a conscience.

Li Changshou pondered for a while. On one hand, he could only confirm his relationship with Xiong Lingli as her relative. On the other hand, he could also give Xiong Lingli some psychological hints so that she would think of the word ‘cousin’.

Li Changshou summoned another stream of water and said gently, “This is for you to wash your face.”

Xiong Lingli scratched her head and smiled awkwardly. “Thank you...”

Li Changshou said via voice transmission, “Call me Cousin. Cousin!”

Li Changshou sighed and revealed a fatherly smile as he washed Xiong Lingli’s face with clear water. He even took out a handkerchief that he prepared to mix with incapacitating agents.

At the side, the disciples of the Carefree Immortal Sect who had accompanied Xiong Lingli earlier had already gathered and approached them...

“Junior Sister Xiong, is this your... cousin?”

“Yes!” Xiong Lingli jumped up from the ground. A wall appeared in front of Li Changshou.

Xiong Lingli scratched her head. Her long hair that was tied up was a little messy. She revealed an embarrassed smile and said delicately, “This is my... cousin.”

Li Changshou stood up and bowed to the disciples of the Carefree Immortal Sect. He said, “My cousin has troubled you, fellow Daoists.”

The disciples returned their greetings. One of them had a complicated expression on his face. He touched his chest and smiled bitterly. “It’s not troublesome. It just hurts.”

A female disciple by the side glared at Li Changshou and immediately smiled warmly at him. “Other than being a little stronger, Junior Sister Linhgli is usually very friendly to us. She is also very well-respected by the

sect.”

Xiong Lingli smiled awkwardly at the side, like a child who had been praised.

Li Changshou exchanged a few more pleasantries and asked Xiong Lingli where her master was. He wanted to go and greet him.

That was just to match his character profile as a cousin.

However, the disciples of the Carefree Immortal Sect had strange expressions on their faces and they started to stammer.

Xiong Lingli pouted and said in a low voice, “Brother, I accidentally injured my master. He didn’t come this time...”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. “Cousin, why did you injure your master!?!”

The young disciples at the side felt rather awkward as well. However, the gentle female senior sister still said, “The sect has already punished you for this matter... May I know how to address you, Fellow Daoist?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Changshou, Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect.”Li Changshou”

“Lingli, are you going to catch up with your cousin here?”

“Can I?”

Xiong Lingli’s eyes lit up and she asked delicately.

The disciples of the Carefree Immortal Sect nodded in unison as if they had rehearsed it many times.

Li Changshou seemed to have understood something. Therefore, Xiong Lingli stayed to catch up with him for the time being. Li Changshou began to send a voice transmission to emphasize the importance of him being her cousin and not the Sea God.

According to Xiong Village’s geographical environment, as well as Xiong Lingli’s mother, he made up a simple story of a marriage between cousins across the Southern Continent, “Second Aunt Gets Married To A Faraway Place”.

Xiong Lingli took out a meditation cushion that was the size of a mattress and sat obediently beside Li Changshou.

As her thigh was too thick, he felt uncomfortable sitting cross-legged. Xiong Lingli sat down directly and curled her legs up. She pressed the side of her dress down with a pair of large iron armor and a pair of soft hands.

Jiu Jiu, who was at the side, wanted to go over and care for it immediately. However, she remembered Little Ling’e’s advice before she left. She could only shake her head and sit there, shaking her legs in boredom.

That made Li Changshou feel a little strange.

Youqin Xuanya is amazing...

“Senior Brother Changshou’s cousin... is actually so outstanding.”

She thought about it and did not greet them. She wanted them to have some warmth.

When Uncle-Master Jiu Wu walked back from afar, he was also shocked. He thought that there was a fake mountain beside Li Changshou. When he focused his gaze, he saw that there was a petite young girl’s head on the fake mountain.

He was shocked and terrified.

The short Daoist frowned and focused. He realized the few Daoists from the Carefree Immortal Sect who had flown to their Immortal Du Sect, as well as the few disciples behind them. Many people were looking at Li Changshou and the strange young lady.

He had just gone out for a while. What happened? Could it be that this girl saw that Disciple-Nephew Changshou has a handsome face, is handsome, smart, and polite and wants to force herself onto him?

How could this make Little Jiu enjoy lifelong happiness?

“Ahem.” Jiu Wu coughed and continued to walk forward.

As Jiu Wu got closer, he heard the young girl muttering bitterly.

“After that, my parents didn’t like me anymore, so they threw me to the north and told me not to come back if I can’t find a master. I was searching high and low back then but no one accepted me. Fortunately, I’ve learned how to hunt. I usually hunt in the mountains. I won’t be hungry even if I eat barbecued meat. Cousin, do you know that there are some big beasts that can turn into humans!?!”

Jiu Wu slipped and Li Changshou coughed.

This should be... Magihumans hunting the demons and seeking the Dao of immortality of the human race!?!

Xiong Lingli muttered aggrievedly, “After that, an immortal sect finally accepted me. They asked me to be a servant, but they gave me food. I definitely had to agree. My mother said that it is not good to eat meat all the time. However, when I was hunting in the mountains, I accidentally roasted their mountain-protecting spiritual beasts and ate them. At that time, I didn’t know that living creatures in the mountains could not be eaten. In the end, they chased me out again...”

She accidentally ate the mountain-protecting spiritual beasts and was chased out of the immortal sect?

Jiu Wu sat down quietly and continued listening.

Xiong Lingli sighed again and continued to explain her arduous journey to becoming a disciple.

“After that, I lived in the mountains for a few years and removed all prey in the mountains. I thought of going to another place... I can’t starve to death! One day, I saw a huge worm fighting with an old immortal. I followed the method my father taught me and got a small stone which I tossed over from the side and smashed the long worm. Then, Cousin, guess what happened?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Did the old immortal accept you as his disciple?”

“Yes, yes!” Xiong Lingli nodded profusely. “He is my first master!”

“First!?!”

Li Changshou did not manage to catch his breath. He almost saluted the girl beside him.

Xiong Lingli sighed and continued, “After I went up the mountain, I changed my master four times... The first master said that I was fated to be with him. He brought me back to the mountain and imparted immortal spells to me so that I could learn some spells.”

At that moment, Xiong Lingli was already at the first stage of the Void Return stage. Based on the timing, her cultivation aptitude should also be at the level of a high-quality immortal seedling

“And then?”

Li Changshou asked with a strange expression.

Xiong Lingli mumbled, “When I learned how to ride the clouds, I accidentally fell from the clouds and smashed Master’s Pill Furnace. I panicked and wanted to secretly throw the Pill Furnace to the back of the mountain, but I accidentally used too much force when I did so. It knocked my master, who was cultivating on the tree, unconscious. Then... two old men in the immortal sect came to me to lecture me. They took me under their wing and they became my second master...”

Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand.

Although the Magihumans could be considered human, they had the power of the Magi. The moment their battle power erupted, it would be enough to destroy an Essence Immortal and injure a Perfected Immortal even if the other party was wary.

Xiong Lingli’s first master did not know how he accepted a half-Magi disciple... Xiong Lingli sighed faintly and said, “Maybe I’ll have a fifth master after I finish my tasks here... Cousin, what should I do about this?”

Li Changshou thought for a while and said, “Don’t think about anything else. Say ‘Cousin’ three hundred times in your heart.”

“Alright!” Xiong Lingli nodded and agreed before proceeding to recite that word in her heart.

Then, Li Changshou stretched his body to the side strenuously. Finally, he found “petite” Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, who was on the other side of Xiong Lingli, who was “big and muscular”.

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Uncle-Master, do you... lack disciples?”

Jiu Wu shuddered and turned pale.
