114: Chapter 114 I'll call you Little Machine.
"Heavenly Dao above, I, Immortal Master Qian Ji, swear to voluntarily join the Xiao Shan Sect. During my tenure, I will obey all work arrangements of Su Mo and will not harm Su Mo or his relatives and friends..."
"Should I violate this oath, my Divine Soul will dissipate, and my true spirit will cease to exist."
After about a quarter of an hour, Immortal Master Qian Ji finally finished reciting all the terms, looking at Su Mo with a face devoid of Life Qi.
"Is that enough..."
Su Mo immediately showed a kind smile:
"Welcome aboard. You must be tired of lying in that coffin. Come, have a Golden Core to calm your nerves."
He sent another Golden Core into the energy storage Formation, but saw Immortal Master Qian Ji twist her neck, her fingertips moving slightly.
She said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Um... do you have any more? It's not quite enough."
"This shell has a big appetite..."
Su Mo raised an eyebrow.
She can eat that much?!
Then a glint flashed in his eyes.
However, being able to eat is a good thing!
Being able to eat means this body has a high limit!
"I have plenty of Golden Cores here. Let me see where your limit is!"
Su Mo slapped his chest grandly, continuously taking out Golden Cores from his embrace and stuffing them in.
One, two, three... until he had stuffed ten of them inside, Immortal Master Qian Ji repeatedly called for him to stop.
At this moment, her whole body emitted a soft light, her black hair turned silver-white, moving without wind, and points of light flashed in her eyes, like stars.
She slowly floated up from the coffin, her skin flowing around her, condensing into a silver-white, flowing, plain dress.
Immortal Master Qian Ji landed gracefully, smiling brightly at Su Mo, as if a Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens had descended.
But her first words shattered this exquisite scene:
"How about it, fellow countryman? Is this new outfit comfortable?"
Su Mo couldn't bear to look, and helplessly held his forehead.
Seeing Su Mo ignore her, Immortal Master Qian Ji walked to a corner on her own and touched a certain mechanism.
Click-clack—
A gap immediately appeared in the ground, and a figure in a cross-legged sitting posture slowly rose.
This figure had no Life Qi, yet its skin was rosy, and its eyebrows and eyes were identical to Immortal Master Qian Ji's current Puppet body, as if it were merely sleeping.
Immortal Master Qian Ji touched the 'corpse''s cheek and took a storage ring from its finger:
"Look! My original Physical Body! Haven't seen it for three hundred years, and it's still so beautiful."
Seeing Su Mo look over, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes:
"Do you want it? I'll let you play with it?"
"What the hell would I want that thing for?! Nowhere to put it, just throw it away!"
Su Mo stepped back two paces in disgust and cursed.
Seeing this, Immortal Master Qian Ji pouted:
"Tsk tsk tsk, you don't know the cost of living until you run a household!"
"A Body Integration Stage Physical Body, if I refine it into a Puppet myself, defeating a Void Refining Stage Cultivator or something similar would be easy peasy."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo immediately felt some admiration.
To be able to treat her own body like this, she's truly a ruthless person!
"What level is your strength now?"
Seeing Immortal Master Qian Ji casually put her 'corpse' into her storage ring, Su Mo asked casually.
"Strength, you ask..."
"As for cultivation, it's probably Middle Stage Void Refining, but the Physical Body..."
She clenched her small fist:
"Below an Immortal, I am invincible!"
A glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes:
"Can you defeat Mahayana Stage and Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivators now?"
"No."
Immortal Master Qian Ji rolled her eyes:
"Do you think Mahayana Stage and Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivators are just for show?!"
"What I meant is that below an Immortal, no one can break this body of mine. If I encounter Cultivators who attack the Divine Soul, my Divine Soul defense Formation should be able to hold up for a few hits."
"Then don't talk such big words!"
With that, Su Mo walked out without looking back.
He understood now; this Immortal Master Qian Ji was completely childish in her Heart-Nature, having never experienced the harsh realities of society.
Immortal Master Qian Ji saw Su Mo leave and quickly trotted to catch up. It could be said that Su Mo was now her necessity, the kind she couldn't leave.
"I can't always call you Immortal Master Qian Ji..."
"How about I just call you Xiao Ji."
Immortal Master Qian Ji looked at Su Mo's expression, feeling he had some ulterior motive, and said cautiously.
"Xiao Ji? Why does that sound like an insult?"
"No!"
"Just call me Qian Ji."
..."Kid, if you had just let me in earlier, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble."
A woman wearing a silver half-mask, only revealing her mouth, was leisurely sitting on Zhou Qing, who was kneeling, slowly eating pastries from a small table.
Next to them, two old men and a young woman were all sealed in their cultivation, lying on the ground, unable to move.
Zhou Qing forced a bitter smile and laboriously raised his head:
"Senior, please wait for the people inside to come out before you enter."
This female Cultivator, who appeared out of nowhere, had controlled two Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators with just one glance; her cultivation was at least Soul Transformation Stage.
The woman swallowed her pastry, took a sip of spirit tea, and her red lips curled slightly:
"Kid, you dare to advise me?!"
"If it weren't for these pastries, I would have sent you to meet the King of Hell long ago."
"Also, your cultivation isn't much, but your methods are quite forceful!"
She extended her jade hand and patted Zhou Qing's cheek:
"You can even make a hole in such a hard door. Are you really that short on Spirit Stones?!"
With a hole in the door, the chance to obtain one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was gone. Relying on herself to painstakingly save Spirit Stones, who knew when she would be able to awaken 'Mama'.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she slapped Zhou Qing's perky bottom:
"That's for breaking the door!"
Slap!
"That's for not bringing enough Spirit Stones!"
Slap!
...This scene made the three people lying on the ground unable to bear to watch, and they all turned their heads away.
Enduring such humiliation, a tear involuntarily slid down Zhou Qing's cheek, and he cried out in his heart:
Big shot! Please come back quickly!
As if hearing his call, a clear voice came from the entrance.
"Thousand Faces."
"Hmm? Why does this voice sound so familiar!"
The woman's body trembled violently, and she slowly turned her head. After seeing the person who had arrived, her eyes immediately filled with ecstasy:
"Mom..."
Seeing Qian Ji glare, Thousand Faces quickly corrected herself:
"Master, I've missed you so much!"
Thousand Faces flashed and pounced into Qian Ji's arms, rubbing against her chest.
Qian Ji pushed her face away with one hand, saying in disgust:
"You clean the crumbs off your face first, then talk!"
"It seems you've been living quite comfortably while I was away..."
Thousand Faces gave a sheepish smile, wiping her mouth:
"How could that be! I've been thinking about Master every day, unable to sleep at night."
..."Senior, Senior..."
Zhou Qing caught sight of Su Mo's figure and called out softly.
"You haven't left yet?"
Su Mo stepped forward, casually removed the Restriction in his body, and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing climbed up from the ground, straightened his disheveled robes, and smiled fawningly:
"I was just waiting for you to come out to celebrate your success."
He secretly glanced at Thousand Faces, who was happily chatting with Immortal Master Qian Ji, and whispered:
"However, that Senior, as soon as she arrived..."
Zhou Qing pointed at the pastries on the table, which had been eaten quite a bit, and gave a bitter smile.
"No matter. You're a promising young man."
"I'll drop by your Sect in a couple of days."
Su Mo patted Zhou Qing's shoulder and praised him.
"Really?! If Senior comes, I will certainly clear the house to welcome you!"
Thousand Faces heard the young man she had been sitting on earlier gossiping about her, glanced over, and upon seeing Su Mo's appearance, her eyes widened:
"Aren't you that... that kid I tricked!"
She pointed at Su Mo, thinking for a long time before remembering that this was the person who had bought the Jade Slip from her stall before.
"You are?"
Su Mo, however, had never seen this person and asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Thousand Faces's lips curled into a smile, and in a blink of an eye, she transformed into an old man.
"Aow! Damn it! It's you, old geezer!"
The old man in front of him was the person who had twice provoked him at a stall when Su Mo first went to Tianyuan Market.
"You kid..."
Slap!
Before she could finish, Thousand Faces's back of the head was suddenly slapped.
"Master, why are you hitting me?"
Seeing this, Su Mo's lips immediately curled into a smile:
"Your Master is mine now, what should you call me?"
Thousand Faces looked at Immortal Master Qian Ji's acquiescent gaze, then turned to Su Mo, hesitatingly saying:
"Fa... Father?"
