The Universal Genius - Chapter 49

Speaking of the Devil, when Ye Shie said the word ‘Demoness’,

“Mother? Father? Shie? What are you all doing here?” Xia Rou appeared at the entrance door of the courtyard.

Seeing his parents and Ye Shie within the courtyard Xiao Rou couldn’t help but stare in wonder.

The Xiao Couple, who was still standing there dumbfounded, woke up from their daughters question.

The Xiao Couple, looked towards their only beloved daughter.

Feeling something strange about Xiao Rou’s cultivation level, the Couple hurriedly walked towards her.

When they arrived, City Lord Bai held Xiao Rou’s hand sending his King Sense within.

“Master Stage?” With his eyes widen from shock he looked towards her daughters beautiful face and asked “Rou’er you broke through?”

Hearing her husband’s words, Xiao Mei, eyes also widened in shock.

For clarification, like City Lord Bai’s action, she hurriedly held Xiao Rou’s other hand, sending her King Sense within. Then a gasp of shock was heard from her. ‘So fast! For 2 months she broke through from Adept to Master? Is this the effect of the Divine Body?’

In a regular basis, A cultivator would require an average of 3 to 5 years to breakthrough from Apprentice to Adept stage, and 5 to 10 years from Adept to Master stage. Fortunately for Xiao Rou, due to Ye Shie’s cultivating with her, her body was reformed. Making it more atuned and adept at controlling Qi to such fine degrees, and absorbing them easily due to Ye Shie’s Altered Basic Qi Refining Technique.

Although Xiao Rou herself could ask her father or mother a more advance Refining Technique, but it was too late to do so. She already stared cultivation Ye Shie’s Altered Basic Qi Refining Technique. Feeling the warmth and comfort it brings, along with it’s effortless control, Xiao Rou neglected the thought of choosing another.

Hearing her parent’s inquiries Xiao Rou puffed her slowly developing chest and said proudly “Hehe~ Yup! I just did!” Smiling smugly.

City Lord’s thoughts were complicated ‘How could this be? The requirement for breaking through Master stage is that one should master controlling the Qi. Are the Divine Bodies of the legends really are true? If so…’

The legend of the Divine Body was that ‘As long as the person survives, He or She will obtain the highest possible cultivation stage possible.’ it was also said that ‘There are no bottlenecks in their Cultivation Journey, as long as they survive, they will reach the apex.’

Thinking the same thought Xiao Mei, patted her daughter’s head intimately.

Lovingly she said “Good Job my Little Rou’er, Just remember my child. No matter what happens, always remember that you’re Daddy and Mommy loves you okay?” then she kissed her forehead, dragging the stunned City Lord away.

When they reached inside, the City Lord woke up from his thoughts ‘No! I don’t want my little Rou’er to leave me! Nooooo!!’ Luckily City Lord Bai was being pulled by her wife, if not he would’ve hurriedly hugged his daughter with tears and snot sobbing to not leave them.

Although City Lord Bai is usually strict when it comes to his daughter. The thought of Xiao Rou leaving them to pursue greater heights terrified him a lot, luckily knowing Xiao Bai’s personality very well, she hurriedly led them away quickly afraid of ruining his desired Strict Image of a father.

Ye Shie was lying down proudly and comfortably from his actions. Due to exhausting his mental prowess from concentrating to much, his head became numbed for a bit.

But upon hearing the familiar voice of Xiao Rou, his mind hurriedly cleared, as if a cool water was splashed upon it.

He hurriedly sat up warily looking towards her thinking ‘Did she heard what I said?’ his heart started palpitating in nervousness.

Xiao Rou was walking towards Ye Shie, in deep contemplation with the strange interactions with her parents ‘Why would Mommy say that? and Why is Daddy standing there staring blankly at me? Weird…’

Throwing the confusion to the back of her head, she looked at the tensed sitting Ye Shie, walking towards him. She sat on the ground beside him and asked “Shie? Why are you sitting there?” then she pointed towards the ‘Repaired’ Open Cottage, titling her head she asked “Why aren’t you sitting on the cottage itself? Is something wrong?”

Hearing Xiao Rou’s question, beads of sweat began forming in his back. Laughing weakly he said “Haha, of course not! Of course not!” He hurriedly looked at ground thinking ‘So sharp!’ then said “I-I was just looking at ants! Hahaha” he laughed while scratching the back of his head.

“Ants? Where?” Xiao Rou also looked around looking for ants, but upon finding none, She frowned on Ye Shie staring at him strangely “There are no ants here? Why are you lying to me?” and as if remembering something, she continued to ask “Why did I hear an explosive sound earlier? Do you know about it?”

Being bombarded by such questions, Ye Shie began to panic again. But upon feeling something new about Xiao Rou’s aura Ye Shie asked in delight “You broke through?!” Seeing her nod in confirmation he exclaimed “That’s great! That’s Great!” then he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Upon hearing Ye Shie’s praise and seeing him smile, Xiao Rou forgot all of the question she had earlier.

“Hehe~ I’m great alright!” Feeling smug about her achievements Xiao Rou boasted, while puffing her developing chest out.

Seeing Xiao Rou showing such delighted expression, Ye Shie couldn’t help but pat her head while praising “Yup! My Rou-Rou is a great lady~ Very Very great~”

Being patted as such, Xiao Rou’s face smiled in contentment and delight, she happily giggled and laughed.
