Chapter 151: The Strange Little Junior Sister
“Senior Brother… why are you in a daze again?” Liu Mengli had just looked up to see Mingyan spacing out again. She clenched her fist angrily and pounded on Mingyan’s chest, “Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Senior Brother!”
Mingyan returned to his senses, reached out, and grasped Liu Mengli’s fist, remarking with some emotion, “Why do I feel that time passes especially quickly on you?”
“It’s clearly because you’re a silly senior brother who didn’t remember,” Liu Mengli huffed coquettishly. “I was even looking forward to meeting Senior Brother, but it turns out that besides being in a daze, Senior Brother only knows how to be in a daze.”
“You’ve clearly been avoiding me this whole time,” Mingyan said. “I didn’t see you the last time I came back.”
“Isn’t that because I wanted Senior Brother to be proud of my cultivation? Hmm… but I’m only at the Qi Sea realm now, so there should still be a big gap between us, right? What is Senior Brother’s cultivation level now?” Liu Mengli pouted; it sounded like she was still not satisfied with her current strength. Mingyan felt a little ashamed. Your cultivation speed would make a whole host of geniuses out there commit suicide from shame…
Liu Mengli didn’t have any special constitution, just a mortal body. What would those geniuses with special constitutions think?
Let alone others, even if Senior Sister Feiyan and Feixuan found out, they would probably be greatly surprised.
“I have already broken through to the Tai Yi realm,” Mingyan said. “But my cultivation was raised through some special methods… you don’t need to think about catching up to me…”
“Tai Yi???” Liu Mengli’s small face was filled with disbelief. How long had it been? Senior Brother had broken through from the Divine Gate realm to the Tai Yi realm? Then the next time they met, would he be at the Divine Seal realm? And the time after that, the Rotating Core realm? Was it really that fast? Wasn’t it said that the higher the cultivation, the more time it took to break through? How did it feel like Senior Brother’s breakthrough speed hadn’t slowed down at all with the increase in his cultivation?
“Hasn’t the gap in minor realms between us shrunk?” Mingyan said with a smile. “I’ve only broken through one major realm, while you have already broken through many minor ones.”
With that, Mingyan reached out and rubbed Liu Mengli’s head. “You’re so impressive, even more so than your Senior Brother.”
“Not as impressive as Senior Brother,” Liu Mengli shook her head upon hearing his words. “Senior Brother is the most impressive… but, Senior Brother’s praise…”
As she spoke, Liu Mengli began to smile, clearly very happy after hearing Mingyan’s praise. After all, what she had been longing for all this time was to improve her strength quickly and make Mingyan proud, wasn’t it?
Mingyan lowered his hand and sighed softly, “Why do I get the feeling that in another year, you’ll be an adult?”
“What is Senior Brother talking about?” Liu Mengli looked at Mingyan strangely. “I’m only fourteen this year…”
But the next time I see you…
Mingyan smiled and didn’t continue with that topic. “After coming to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, have you been back to the Rain Terrace Blessed Land?”
“I went back once,” Liu Mengli said. “Among the younger generation in the Rain Terrace Blessed Land, I’m the boss now!”
“You’re almost the boss in Wind Spirit Moon Shadow too…” Mingyan smiled. Even his Senior Sister at this age didn’t have Liu Mengli’s current cultivation. Aside from himself and his Senior Sister, Liu Mengli’s current cultivation level was already among the top geniuses of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow’s younger generation.
“With Senior Brother around, I can be number two at most… oh, right, Senior Brother also has Senior Sister Shi, so I’d be number three…” Liu Mengli giggled.
“…” Mingyan smiled. “I plan to return to the Rain Terrace Blessed Land in a little while. Do you want to go back with me?”
“Okay~ When is Senior Brother leaving? Let my Master take us back, it won’t be a long flight~” Liu Mengli nodded and said with a giggle, “But Senior Brother’s Master is probably faster…”
“Let’s go after today. I’ll rest for today,” Mingyan said. Liu Mengli’s situation was weighing on his mind. He didn’t think there was a problem with his own memory, but the Liu Mengli before him, judging by both what she said and her physical condition, really seemed to be fourteen years old…
Regarding this abnormal phenomenon, Mingyan wanted to ask his sister. Besides, now that they were at the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land, his sister would need to adjust its formations, which would probably take a few days.
If this was beneficial for Liu Mengli, it wouldn’t matter. But if her flow of time was the same as everyone else’s, she would grow up very quickly, and would also… exhaust her lifespan very quickly. Mingyan was a bit worried about this.
“Okay, Senior Brother can just come and get me then… Is Senior Brother leaving now?” Liu Mengli stared at Mingyan, blinking her eyes.
“Yes, I’m heading back now,” Mingyan rubbed Liu Mengli’s head again and smiled. “See you tomorrow.”
“…I always feel that the time I get to spend with Senior Brother is so short…” Liu Mengli pouted. “When… can Mengli stay by Senior Brother’s side forever?”
“After all of this is over, after the dark turmoil is quelled, life will be very leisurely. Then, we can stay together for as long as we want,” Mingyan smiled. “Alright, Junior Sister, I’m leaving now.”
“Mmm…” Liu Mengli nodded, reluctant to see him go. Mingyan reached out and ruffled her hair one more time before departing.
Mingyan quickly returned to the immortal island and saw Wang Qingchu. “Sister.”
“Mmm.” Wang Qingchu’s eyes were closed, and a divine light occasionally flickered around her body. Hearing Mingyan’s voice, she opened her eyes and smiled.
Mingyan briefly explained Liu Mengli’s situation, and Wang Qingchu was also somewhat surprised. “There’s such a thing?”
She had previously observed Liu Mengli’s condition with her divine sense. She had noticed from the start that Liu Mengli was a bit different, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly how.
Logically speaking, how could time possibly flow at a different rate for just one person? But Wang Qingchu had unconditional trust in Mingyan, so she naturally believed what Mingyan said about Liu Mengli being an eight-year-old girl just over two years ago.
As a Half-Step Jidao who had touched the Great Dao Realm, Wang Qingchu’s divine sense, like that of a Great Emperor, had already leaped to another level. Within her divine sense, she had confirmed that Liu Mengli’s bone structure was indeed that of a fourteen-year-old girl…
How truly strange…
“I will handle the formation matters first. Afterwards, I will properly examine Liu Mengli’s condition. Don’t you worry. Even if it is as you suspect, for the current Liu Mengli, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s very likely the reason her cultivation has advanced so quickly. Besides, she probably wants to grow up faster, doesn’t she…” Wang Qingchu comforted him in a gentle voice.
Only then did Mingyan nod, feeling somewhat relieved after receiving his sister’s assurance.
