Chapitre 39: You Just Haven't Seen My Main Body
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
Outside the Heavenly Prison, in Xi Ling's homeland.
"Such a dreary country."
What Yu Chen saw made him think that he had returned to the countryside in the nineteenth century.
There was no one to clear the trash by the roadside, and the pedestrians looked nervous.
When they saw the clean-clothed Xi Ling and Yu Chen, they trembled in fear. Some even turned around and ran…
When Xi Ling heard Yu Chen's voice, she immediately asked, "Have you finished dealing with the main body's matter?"
It had been several years since Yu Chen had entrusted her with his avatar.
This was the first time Yu Chen had spoken.
Clearly, Yu Chen's main consciousness had returned.
Yu Chen nodded. "Yes, the problem is resolved for now."
Yu Chen's main body was currently cultivating on the seventh floor of the Heavenly Prison, so Yu Chen could transfer his consciousness into his avatar.
Yu Chen said, "How's your situation?"
"I thought once you became the Immortal, you could protect your homeland."
"Eh?"
Yu Chen lowered his head and saw that he was dressed in clean white clothes.
He was stunned at first, then asked automatically, "Who changed my clothes?"
"Ahem…" Xi Ling sighed. From an angle that Yu Chen could not see, a hint of redness appeared on her pretty face.
Xi Ling couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, you rashly entrusted yourself to a girl."
"These days, I feel like I'm raising a child."
When Yu Chen was dirty, Xi Ling needed to prepare him a hot bath.
When his clothes were dirty, she needed to remind him about it.
Even when he was hungry, he needed her to take him to eat.
The avatar was simply a person who could not do anything apart from listening to Xi Ling's order.
These days, Xi Ling even wondered if Yu Chen was the child she had given birth to…
Of course, Xi Ling did not say these words to his face. Otherwise, who knew if Yu Chen would get angry?
"Hahaha~ There's nothing we can do about that." Yu Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, Lady Immortal."
Xi Ling shrugged. "No problem. After all, it's thanks to you that I could become the Immortal. Besides, I'm not used to you being like this."
Yu Chen raised his hand to his chin. "Oh? Then just act like you usually do."
Xi Ling didn't bother with pleasantries. "Of course, Little Brother Chen."
"Huh? Little Brother Chen?" Yu Chen was stunned.
Yu Chen said, "Is that what you call me? You have to know that I'm already twenty-four years old."
Counting his previous life, he was nearly fifty years old.
And he was still called a little brother?
Xi Ling smiled faintly and said something that shocked Yu Chen. "Actually, I'm over a hundred years old."
Yu Chen was speechless.
Seeing how naive Yu Chen was, Xi Ling thought that he was disgusted by how old she was.
Xi Ling then explained, "Don't… don't get me wrong. Most of my time is spent in cultivation."
"Besides, for a fourth realm cultivator, 100 years old is not even a young girl yet, right?"
A fourth realm cultivator could live for 10,000 years.
100 years was only one percent the lifespan of ordinary people - if we consider ordinary people to have a lifespan of 100 years.
To ordinary people, Xi Ling was only a one-year-old baby.
Ahem. Of course, that was just a figure of speech.
Among fourth realm cultivators, even 2000 years old was considered young, let alone 100 years old.
Yu Chen quickly accepted this setting. "Okay."
Sensing the majestic power from Yu Chen's body, Xi Ling couldn't help but say, "After all, not everyone is as talented as you."
"You're the first fourth realm cultivator in your twenties since ancient times."
"Your progress is considered genius even in myths and legends."
"Uh…" Yu Chen scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.
He couldn't say that he had the ability to choose Talents, could he?
It was too appalling.
Therefore, Yu Chen changed the topic. "How's your plan going?"
At the mention of this, Xi Ling looked disappointed. "I… have done some investigation."
"Although I'm officially the Immortal, many higher-ups still think of me as a Saintess."
"Hence they wouldn't even consider some of the suggestions that I have made."
Yu Chen said in surprise, "Huh? That's a pity."
She was clearly only one step away from saving her homeland from suffering. Unfortunately, she was being treated like this.
Normally, the status of the Immortal was on par with the Sect Master.
Unfortunately, Xi Ling was not treated well.
What was the reason?
Xi Ling clenched her fists and said in frustration, "Why, of all the Talent Tree that I could have awakened, I have to awaken a tree with support-type talent skill?"
At this moment, she held a huge grudge against her Talent Tree.
If she had an offensive-type Talent Tree, she would not be treated like this.
Xi Ling had gotten to the bottom of everything. The only reason she was being treated like this was because her Talent Tree was a support-type.
Although the support-type Talent Tree was relatively popular, no one would nurture the user as a sect master.
Even the Hunyuan Sect wouldn't do such a thing.
The only reason why Xi Ling became the Immortal was because of Yu Chen.
"Damn it…" The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to destroy her cultivation on the spot and redo it from the beginning.
Unfortunately, she was already over a hundred years old.
Without the support of her cultivation, she would have aged into a skeleton the moment she destroyed her cultivation.
"Actually, there's no need for you to hate your Talent Tree." Yu Chen couldn't help but comfort her. "After all, talent is bound to be useful. Perhaps this is just a tribulation from the heavens."
"As the saying goes, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first exhausts his muscles and bones…"
Xi Ling looked at Yu Chen in surprise, her tender lips slightly open in disbelief. "I didn't expect you to be so good at comforting people when you're so miserable yourself."
Xi Ling knew about Yu Chen's situation.
She knew that Yu Chen had been framed by Wang Yun and thus sent to prison.
Everyone knew what kind of place the Heavenly Prison was.
In that, life was worse than death.
After all, the Heavenly Prison had the title of 'World-weary'.
Xi Ling couldn't help but say, "It's so rare to find a cultivator like you, who can still be so rational even after experiencing the Heavenly Prison."
The cultivators who came out of the Heavenly Prison were usually crazy. None of them were like humans.
Yu Chen said calmly, "You just haven't seen my main body."
The reason why the avatar was so rational was that the prison had little effect on it.
"What are you doing here, anyway?"
Yu Chen changed the subject.
Xi Ling sighed. "I want to do something for my homeland, too."
Under the rule of the Hunyuan Sect, competition between empires was allowed.
And Xi Ling's homeland was about to be swallowed up by another empire.
If a country lost its sovereignty, would it still be a country?
Therefore, Xi Ling received an invitation to assist her empire.
"Interesting. The Hunyuan Sect knows your identity, but they still treat your homeland this way. Aren't they afraid that you'll rebel?"
Yu Chen spoke with amazement.
Xi Ling gave a very desperate answer. "I only have a support-type Talent Tree. Even if I rebel, what threat can I pose?"
Yu Chen was speechless.
That made sense.
