Ultimate Scheming System

Chapter 1510 - 1510 Not a Bad Thing



But she didn’t throw herself into his embrace.

She acted like a small child who’d gotten 100 percent on a test and was anxious to find her parents to show off. She pulled up her sleeves to reveal her fair, young hands, as she moved closer to Xu Que and said proudly, “Older Brother, you see, quickly look!”

“What am I looking at?” Xu Que stared at her, a little confused.

“Aren’t they tender? Aren’t they fair? Aren’t they beautiful?” Xu Feifei fired off three questions in a row.

Xu Que rolled his eyes and said in a serious voice, “Can you be a little more modest? Where are the humility and subtlety of our Xu family traditions?”

PAH! “Xu Que, I’m telling you, now that I’ve shed my mortal body and am at the peak of the Original Infant Stage, I’m no longer an ordinary person. I want to fight a duel with you.” Xu Feifei seemed very smug. Her true colors seemed to have reasserted themselves, after a period of shyness and quiet that had followed her introduction to the World of Cultivators.

She seemed to believe that as long as she had cultivated her Qi and could put some Magic Arts to use, she was no longer an ordinary person, but a true

cultivator. And since her older brother, Xu Que, was also a cultivator, she figured, why not? A duel between two cultivators, she and Xu Que, win or lose, they would have to fight to find out who was strongest.

“You want to fight a duel with me? Ho, ho, ho, you should ask your sisters-in-law whether they think you can beat me? I, your older brother, am already a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. A mere Original Infant Stage cultivator is way too weak to fight with me.” Xu Que shook his head with disdain.

“A Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven?” Xu Feifei looked startled. Then she turned and looked at Jiang Hongyan in confusion as she said, “Older Sister Hongyan, is the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven more powerful than the Original Infant Stage?”

Jiang Hongyan smiled faintly and said, “The Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven is way more powerful, but he wouldn’t dare bully you, his little sister.”

“Ah! So it turns out that I still haven’t overtaken him.” Xu Feifei seemed unexpectedly a little depressed. Her greatest pleasure and motivation were to quickly cultivate and become stronger so as to surpass Xu Que, in order to return to their previous time on Earth during her childhood when she could bully her older brother, Xu Que.

But now it seemed as if this hope was going to be lost forever.

“Why are you so eager to be stronger than I am?” Xu Que smiled and asked.

“It’s my main goal,” Xu Feifei replied.

“Then are you able to bear hardships?” Xu Que said with a smile.

“Of course, I can.” Xu Feifei looked strong and determined.

“But I’m not willing to let you suffer.” Xu Que rejoined.

PAH! “I want to bear hardships!”

“No way, your Older Brother won’t let you. You’d better listen to me.”

“No, Older Brother, I want to suffer,”

All of a sudden, Xu Feifei grabbed Xu Que’s arm and started acting like a spoiled, little child.

Xu Que and Xu Feifei had always done this, and it continued now. They went from mutual dislike to acting like spoiled children with each other. The people who were forced to watch these demonstrations of sibling love would grimace bitterly.

“Okay, then you eat this.” Xu Que directly took out a Flat Peach from the System’s storage. It shone golden, with brilliant lights and vibrant colors.

It was the Nine-Reincarnation Peach, dug out from the bottom of the Jade Lake that year that Xu Que’s “father” had “saved” the Jade Lake’s Peach Garden. It had absorbed all the energy from the entire Peach Garden, and it had been the main culprit that had caused the Peach Garden to decline into a state of depression for thousands of years. It contained thousands of years of essence from the hundreds of peach trees that comprised the whole Peach Garden.

Originally, Xu Que had kept this Nine-Reincarnation Peach as a lifesaver in order to prepare for any eventualities he might run into. He knew he could use it to prevent the Chaotic Green Lotus in his Dantian area from not being given enough Celestial Core Power in case it suddenly grew larger.

But recently the Chaotic Green Lotus had seemed calm, and there had been no signs of growth for a long time. It seemed as if Xu Feifei’s qualifications weren’t naturally very good, so, in order to allow her self-protection ability to grow as soon as and as much as possible, Xu Que had decided not to be stingy and to share his Nine-Reincarnation Peach with his sister.

Xu Que took out the Nine-Reincarnation Peach. As a madman in terms of protecting his younger sister, this mere Nine-Reincarnation Peach was nothing.

“Wow! What a beautiful peach!” When Xu Feifei saw the Nine-Reincarnation Peach, her eyes lit up instantly.

Although she was already at the Original Infant Stage, all her cultivation had taken place in the Good Fortune Jade Disk, behind closed doors. She had been treated completely like a flower in a greenhouse, and her knowledge about the World of Cultivators was still relatively sparse.

Furthermore, the Nine-Reincarnation Peach itself was an object powerful enough to make countless cultivators in the Heaven Continent covetous. As Xu Que took it out at this moment, Xu Feifei really couldn’t be blamed for not staying calm.

Zixia Fairy, Jiang Hongyan, and Liu Jingning were also stunned by the appearance of the Nine-Reincarnation Peach. They looked at Xu Que, full of strange and curious looks. How was it that this guy always had these many precious objects on him?

“Take it. Take a small bite, and then continue to cultivate. If you feel that the pace of your cultivation has slowed down, then take another bite. Do not be greedy. Got it?” Xu Que gave the Nine-Reincarnation Peach to Xu Feifei and reminded her repeatedly of his instructions.

Xu Feifei nodded with a face full of joy. She took the Nine-Reincarnation Peach and held it up in her hands. She handled it lovingly and admired it.

“Don’t just look, hurry up and take a bite...” Xu Que couldn’t help shaking his head when he saw Xu Feifei’s look. Girls always liked to collect beautiful things, even if they were meant to be eaten.

However, he hadn’t even finished his sentence when Xu Feifei suddenly opened her mouth and took a bite of the Nine-Reincarnation Peach. The moment she opened her mouth, she bit off a large chunk of the peach’s flesh.

The sparkling, bright pulp of the fruit produced a golden-colored peach juice. Also, when she chewed it, it gave off a refreshing deep fragrance.

“Wow, it’s delicious!” Xu Feifei smiled like a silly, spoiled child of a land-owning household and looked at Xu Que as she spoke.

“All right, all right, I’m glad that it’s good to eat. Quickly sit down and start your cultivation.” Xu Que laughed bitterly and looked at the peach longingly. He was actually a little ravenous.

“Okay.” Xu Feifei swallowed the pulp and sat cross-legged in satisfaction.

Jiang Hongyan also smiled as she walked forward to set up a protective spell for Xu Feifei, to prevent the Qi from overflowing and causing meditation psychosis from swallowing too much peach pulp.

However, Xu Feifei’s state seemed very stable, and the pace of cultivation was still slow.

Xu Que was surprised. He hadn’t expected this kind of situation. “It doesn’t seem to be much faster than cultivating in the Good Fortune Jade Disk,” he said. Jiang Hongyan also frowned.

“How did this happen?” Xu Que was struck dumb. According to everything they knew about the power of this Nine-Reincarnation Peach, it was enough to make a cultivator at the Earth Celestial Stage improve by one level with just one mouthful.

Xu Feifei was only at the Original Infant Stage. Xu Que was of course happy that her body hadn’t exploded because of this one mouthful. But he was also dumbfounded. “Why was her cultivation still going so slowly?”

“Is it possible that her digestion and absorption ability are not good?” Xu Que frowned.

“Something’s not right!” Zixia Fairy suddenly said in a panic. She stepped forward and reached her fair hand out and placed it on top of Xu Feifei’s head. A wisp of Celestial Core Power flowed out of her palm and enveloped Xu Feifei’s entire body.

The next moment, she immediately took back her hand, and her face became deadly serious.

“Xuan’er, what’s going on?” Xu Que asked hurriedly.

“It’s not that her aptitude is not good.” Zixia Fairy shook her head, and her expression became a little complicated as she said, “It can be said rather that her aptitude is too good.”

“Too good?” Xu Que, Jiang Hongyan, and the others were stunned.

“That’s right. Her physique is very strange. All the absorbed Qi does not directly flow into the Dantian area, but it’s all disseminated throughout the body. The Qi that eventually enters the Dantian area is only a small part of the Qi that she’s absorbed,” Zixia Fairy said in a low voice.

Generally speaking, the Qi would be routed out for people with below-average aptitude. It would flow out of the body and disappear. Only a little would enter the Dantian area.

But Xu Feifei was not like this. The Qi that disseminated throughout her body didn’t come out.

So, what was the disseminated Qi in her body doing? This was not the way of tempering the body, and Xu Feifei’s body didn’t look very strong.

Xu Que looked perplexed and couldn’t figure it out.

“Whether the Qi in the Good Fortune Jade Disk or that Nine-Reincarnation Peach just now has given her Qi that is perfect and pure. The Qi that flowed into her Dantian area was even purer. Like a piece of fine jade, she didn’t want all of it, but only took the most flawless part.”

Zixia Fairy explained the phenomenon, and then shook her head as she said, “This is a very high requirement that her physique has of the Qi. Her foundation will be perfect and solid. Her strength will be superior to ordinary people’s and will exceed that of geniuses, but... The world never seems to have seen such a kind of physique ever before.”

“That’s it.” Xu Que nodded, as he understood. No wonder Zixia Fairy had said that Xu Feifei’s aptitude was too good.

Anything that was too good was not necessarily a good thing. The cup would overflow with water when it was filled to the brim.

Xu Feifei’s situation seemed to have gotten pretty tricky.

“It reminds me of a phrase.” Liu Jingning suddenly spoke up and said with a laugh, “A great talent matures slowly! Perhaps this is not a bad thing. She’s just cultivating slowly, but the final outcome is bound to be that she will be very strong.”

“That’s...true too.” Xu Que smiled and nodded. He was indeed a little anxious. He’d only wanted to get Xu Feifei’s cultivation stage to quickly improve, but he hadn’t thought carefully about all the possible ramifications.

However, it didn’t seem as if Xu Feifei’s current situation was a bad thing. With his ability to provide her with such superior cultivation resources, her future looked really immeasurable.

“Okay, then we’ll let her cultivate slowly. Anyway, I have lots of time.” Xu Que was relieved and said with a relaxed smile.

Jiang Hongyan and several other people also nodded to express their agreement.

This group of people would continue to stay hidden in the cave dwelling. They would occasionally meditate, and they’d chat from time to time. After Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan had talked about everything that had happened, from the Four Great Continents to the Heaven Continent, they would occasionally mention various things about Earth with Zixia Fairy and Liu Jingning.

More than ten days flew by quickly.

Xu Que had no idea and no way of knowing what was going on in the outside world. He didn’t know whether the people from the Heaven Palace Sect were explosively angry and looking for him everywhere, or whether Buttface and Duan Jiude had found Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Anyway, these days living in the cave dwelling were peaceful and beautiful. It was very quiet and comfortable.

And then one day there was a slight fluctuation in the restrictive barrier outside the cave dwelling.

Xu Que opened his eyes from his state of meditation and became alert. He initiated his Mind Sense and spread it out of the cave dwelling.

“In pursuit of treasure!” A familiar cry suddenly rang out in Xu Que’s mind.

Xu Que abruptly raised his eyebrows. “Ah, Buttface is back!”
