62: Unable to cultivate earth spirit roots
"Li Haitang, hand me some water."
"Li Haitang, I'll grab something to eat."
"Li Haitang, can't you be more perceptive and hand over the dried fruit too?"
"Ugh, so annoying! So clumsy, I'll do it myself..."
Xiao Qingyuan pushed through the crowd, following the spiritual light, and saw a noticeably much taller child, impatiently ordering around a gentle-looking young woman, who was constantly taking things out of her many bags.
One moment he wanted preserved fruit, the next he wanted dried tofu.
He had the woman spinning in circles.
But the spiritual light Xiao Qingyuan saw was actually coming from the woman.
Xiao Qingyuan's expression froze.
The reincarnation seal promptly sent a notification.
"Water-Fire Dual Spiritual Root, with perfectly balanced and severely clashing intensities, hence the Spiritual Root is not apparent and normal Cultivation is impossible."
Dual Spiritual Root?
Earthly Spiritual Root?
Xiao Qingyuan immediately ignored the "severely clashing" part and stared fixedly at "Earthly Spiritual Root"!
Hiss... This was the first time he had seen a living Earthly Spiritual Root.
Xiao Qingyuan observed the two without a change in expression.
"Li Wan Tang, Young Master, I have Divine Power, so it's impossible for me not to become an Immortal."
"The Li Family and Wang Family before didn't know good goods; they didn't know how formidable Young Master, I am."
"This time, at the Xiao Family, I will definitely be appreciated by the Xiao Family's Immortals."
"It won't be long before I become an Immortal."
Li Wan Tang's eyes flashed with worry upon hearing this, but she still gently wiped her younger brother's mouth and tidied his clothes.
Her movements were gentle, with the aura of a kind elder sister next door.
It was very comforting.
In recent years, she had traveled to many places with her younger brother, following escort agencies, so how could she not know that her younger brother did not possess this talent?
If one family said her younger brother had no Spiritual Root, it might be a mistake.
But could seven or eight families all be wrong?
It was true that he had Divine Power, but if he had no Spiritual Root, he had no Spiritual Root.
When she thought that her younger brother was already twelve or thirteen this year, and about to pass the age for martial arts training.
She couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Xiao Chen, when we go in later, you must control your temper and not offend the Immortals."
"If this time we still can't detect a Spiritual Root."
"Then we'll honestly go back. Cultivating the family's martial arts is fine, or reading and writing is also fine."
"At worst, find a proper job.
The silver left by our parents is already running low."
Li Haitang's voice was soft and gentle, speaking in a hushed tone, afraid of upsetting her troublesome younger brother.
It was evident that her personality was on the gentler side.
But she was too timid and too accommodating to her younger brother.
This made Xiao Qingyuan frown.
He wanted to advance to Earthly Spiritual Root, and Li Haitang's appearance was also very good, with an alluring figure.
A slender waist, long legs, and two prominent breasts that seemed ready to burst forth.
Her personality was also soft and delicate.
He already had thoughts of taking her as a concubine.
But he was afraid of marrying a "doormat" who would prioritize her family above all else.
And he disliked this younger brother-in-law the moment he saw him.
Damn it, relying on some so-called Divine Power, he really thought he was the protagonist of a story.
As he was distracted.
Unexpectedly, Li Haichen, this brat, heard her words and for some unknown reason, immediately became furious.
He roared loudly in public: "What did you say? You actually think I can't become an Immortal?"
"What exactly are your intentions?"
"By saying that, you've jinxed my good fortune!"
"I see, you just can't stand to see me do well, that's why you deliberately disturbed my mood, so I wouldn't be able to detect a Spiritual Root."
"I know, you want to get married, don't you? You've been dissatisfied with me for a long time, haven't you?"
"I saw through you long ago, you're just lustful!"
Li Haitang endured the pointing and whispering from the crowd, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Although Li Haichen had caused a scene in public before, this was the first time he had spoken such malicious words.
Heart-chilling!
Heart-cold!
"Xiao Chen, how could you say such things..."
Seeing his sister's appearance, Li Haichen felt no guilt whatsoever; instead, he grew even more enraged and spoke harshly.
"You act like this and don't allow people to speak of it?"
Guilt?
He wouldn't feel guilty at all!
His parents had secretly told him before they died; he wasn't unaware that this convenient sister in front of him wasn't his biological one.
He thought it was great to wander outside, eating and drinking well every day.
After all, his parents were Jianghu heroes, and they left him so much money.
He couldn't spend it all, which was much better than tiring himself out practicing martial arts or reading those incredibly boring ancient books.
That's why he made her lose face in public.
At that point, he would be able to say whatever he wanted.
Before Qingxuan Town became a county seat, it was a famous gourmet town far and wide.
He wanted to enjoy himself thoroughly here.
Thinking this, his eyes suddenly hardened.
He actually reached out and violently pushed Li Haitang's shoulder.
"Since you also look down on me, why don't we just sever ties!"
Li Haitang was already shocked and heartbroken, and she took the full force of the push by surprise.
Her entire body uncontrollably fell backward, and her bundle flew into the sky.
The crowd instinctively scattered quickly.
They all had children.
They barely had time to dodge the heavy objects flying up, so how could anyone dare to step forward and help her?
Li Haitang's heart was cold, and her mind was blank.
She was just an ordinary person, and her body was inherently delicate. If she fell hard.
At the very least, she would suffer broken bones and torn tendons.
In despair, she saw the malicious smile in her younger brother's eyes.
Had she, at some unknown point, become his enemy...?
Closing her eyes, her heart completely turned cold.
"Be careful!"
However, the next second.
The imagined sharp pain did not arrive; instead, she was caught at the last moment.
Her body solidly landed in a broad and strong embrace, tightly enveloped by someone.
Li Haitang stared blankly and opened her eyes. What met her gaze was a pair of deep eyes like stars.
Before her was a young man of elegant demeanor and extraordinary handsomeness.
He looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Coupled with the comforting scent in the air, it made her momentarily intoxicated.
She lingered in this strong embrace.
She was mesmerized.
"Young Master, is your body alright?"
The one who acted was naturally Xiao Qingyuan.
Feeling the soft and delicate body in his arms made him feel a little restless for a moment.
He now had a luxurious set of equipment, spiritual eyes, a spiritual body, and a glazed heart, and more importantly, the blessing of an innate charming physique.
That's right.
What Xie Yuming was carrying in her womb was not only a True Spiritual Root but also one with a charming physique.
It was just that he didn't know if it was a boy or a girl yet. If it was a girl, that would be fine.
It would be easy for him, Xiao Qingyuan, to protect his daughter.
But if it was a boy.
Hiss... he didn't know how many innocent girls he would harm.
Just like now.
The charming physique only unconsciously emitted a trace of Qi, instantly captivating this beautiful woman in his arms who had no Cultivation whatsoever.
Her eyes had become dazed.
Then he looked at Li Haichen, and his expression instantly turned as cold as winter.
To be honest, watching from the side, he wanted to punch this kid.
Even if he didn't have a Spiritual Root, even if he did, even if he had an Earthly Spiritual Root or Heavenly Spiritual Root, his Xiao Family wouldn't accept such a person.
Go wherever you want!
He was simply a fledgling, wasn't he?
His eyes sharpened.
A cold glint was hidden in his eyes, unrevealed.
He wondered if he should quietly do something to him somewhere.
Divine Power?
I'll give you innate cold legs, do you believe me?
"Thank you, Young Master, for saving me. Hai... Haitang is eternally grateful. Can... can you please let go of me first?"
