128: Chapter 128 During working hours, please use your job title!

Seeing Heaven Moon scrutinizing Su Mo from all directions, Heaven Battle immediately felt a surge of jealousy.

"I say, little sister, I'm a big living person right here, but you're just ignoring me, aren't you?"

"You only care about Brother-in-law, but not your second brother?"

Hearing Heaven Battle's teasing, Heaven Moon's pretty face flushed crimson, and she glared at him in annoyance:

"Second Brother! You..."

"How did you get beaten up like this?!"

Heaven Battle was stunned, opening his mouth but not knowing how to explain.

Could he really say that he, a Late Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator, was beaten to such a state by a Nascent Soul Cultivator?

Seeing his hesitant manner, Su Mo stepped forward with a smile, but after uttering two words, under Heaven Battle's gaze, he quickly changed his statement:

"Second Duke... Second Brother just had an Epiphany during our sparring match, and these bright lights are the spiritual glow that hasn't dispersed yet."

After speaking, Su Mo sighed helplessly in his heart.

He felt he might have a special Physique—the Innate Soft Rice Sacred Body.

Even if he didn't want to eat soft rice, it would be shoved into his mouth.

Su Mo then thought, perhaps this wasn't eating soft rice; he was just a little more benevolent.

"Is that so?"

Heaven Moon was half-skeptical, always feeling something wasn't quite right.

Heaven Battle quickly changed the subject:

"Brother-in-law speaks the truth. When have I, your second brother, ever lied to you?"

"I feel I've gained a lot from this Epiphany."

"Let's go! I'll treat you to a good drink!"

With that, he pushed Heaven Moon forward.

Just as Su Mo was about to follow, Immortal Master Qian Ji came over.

"How was it? Not injured from the sparring, are you?"

"Here, have a skewer to replenish yourself."

She handed him a fragrant charcoal-grilled beast meat skewer.

Su Mo was about to take it, but suddenly noticed a shimmering thread connecting two pieces of meat at the tip of the skewer.

"Why is this meat skewer stringy?"

"You didn't just take it out of your mouth, did you?"

Immortal Master Qian Ji instantly froze, her eyes darting around:

"How could that be! This is honey sauce I specifically asked the vendor to add!"

"If you don't want it, then don't!"

She turned around, feigning composure, and bit off all the meat pieces from the skewer.

That skewer of grilled meat had indeed been in her mouth for a while. She had intended to eat it herself, but then Su Mo's image flashed through her mind, and she inexplicably kept it. She hadn't expected Su Mo to be so observant..."Brother-in-law, come, let's clink glasses. This is my treasured aged wine."

Heaven Battle heartily raised his cup, the injuries on his face having completely vanished.

Su Mo, however, raised his teacup and chuckled lightly:

"Second Brother, I'm not yet of age to drink alcohol, so I'll substitute tea for wine."

"Not of age to drink?"

Heaven Battle was startled, then waved his hand magnanimously:

"You brat, if you don't want to drink, just say so. Why bother making up an excuse to placate me?"

Su Mo smiled without speaking.

"You're really not of age?! You look at least eighteen..."

Heaven Battle suddenly leaned close to Su Mo, grabbed his wrist, and his words abruptly stopped as he gasped.

"Ten years old?!"

"Are you an Immortal Reincarnation?!"

He abruptly stood up, his voice distorted by extreme shock.

Immortal Master Qian Ji and Heaven Moon, however, remained unfazed.

One was accustomed to it, the other thought it was only natural.

"Not an Immortal Reincarnation, just a slightly faster Cultivation speed."

"Also, after this month, I'll be eleven."

Su Mo took a small sip of his tea.

After the shock, Heaven Battle's face was filled with wild joy.

No matter how Heaven-Defying this Prodigy was, he was now merely his Brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, you must return to the Central Domain with me tomorrow!"

"You can't fully display your talent in the Southern Domain! The Central Domain is your true stage!"

Heaven Battle excitedly grabbed Su Mo's shoulders.

"Then what Prodigy Rankings, Supreme Battles, won't you just sweep through them all?"

"And while you're at it, help me teach a lesson to the number one on the Soul Transformation Stage Prodigy Rankings. That guy is only nine ranks higher than me, but he's incredibly arrogant..."

Su Mo gently pushed Heaven Battle's hand away:

"Second Brother, I will go to the Central Domain, but not tomorrow."

"Why?"

Heaven Battle scratched his ears and cheeks in impatience; he couldn't wait to see the shocked expressions of those arrogant Prodigies.

"I still have some unfinished business; I'll have to wait a while."

Heaven Moon, who had been listening quietly nearby, had a flash of inspiration:

"Su Mo, the large-scale teleportation array you're refining, is it for going to the Central Domain?!"

"That's right."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

He was going to pilot his flying boat and smash directly through the gates of the Sacred Fire Sect and the Six Desires Demonic Sect!

"Then can I come with you?"

Heaven Moon looked at him expectantly.

She knew her identity had been completely exposed the moment Heaven Battle arrived, and Heaven Battle's purpose was definitely to take her back.

In that case, it would be better to simply follow Su Mo.

"You can."

"Brother-in-law, then I want to come too! It's not like a few more days will make a difference."

Heaven Battle grinned as he leaned close to Su Mo:

"Can you let me play with your flying boat? I've been coveting it for a long time..."

"After I've finished building the teleportation array, I'll let you pilot it when we return to the Central Domain."

"It's a deal then!"

...The group chatted happily.

Heaven Battle waved his hand, taking responsibility for all the Materials Su Mo needed, and immediately dispatched someone to notify the Central Domain headquarters to send them over.

Su Mo wanted to give him Spirit Stones, but was flatly refused.

"What's with Spirit Stones? Once you're my Brother-in-law, the entire Tianyuan Merchant Guild is yours!"

To this, Su Mo could only sigh.

Soft rice, truly delicious!

...After returning to the Sect, Su Mo suddenly remembered that there were still a few 'talents' lying in the flying boat.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, he directly threw them into the workshop and told the person in charge to thoroughly 'squeeze' them..."Chen'er?!"

"Grandson?!"

Sun and his father were surprised to find that the person before them was their second son, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

"Weren't you in seclusion? Why are you here?"

Sun slowly stepped forward to ask, but suddenly noticed his son hastily retreating a few steps.

"Trying to get chummy?!"

"Don't you even know who I am!"

Yao Beichen's left arm bore an armband embroidered with the words "Production Model Worker," glittering brightly.

Through diligent effort, he had not only become a Production Model Worker, obtained the first four layers of the 'Emperor of Labor Scripture' Cultivation Technique, but also became a team leader in the workshop.

"Chen'er, don't you recognize your father anymore?"

Sun's heart tightened. He reached out, wanting to caress his son's face, to make him remember the feeling of paternal love.

"Father?"

"Sigh."

"During work hours, please address me by my title!"

"Huh?!"

Yao Beichen waved to someone not far away:

"Comrade Dan Niu, please come over."

A burly Male Cultivator strode over:

"What is it, Comrade team leader?"

Yao Beichen pointed at Sun and the others, speaking solemnly:

"These people were sent by Comrade Sect Master."

"They were once radicals who hindered the vigorous development of the Xiao Shan Sect. I'll trouble Comrade Dan Niu to give them a good education."

Dan Niu patted his chest, full of confidence:

"Comrade team leader, rest assured! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

"Unfilial son! I am your father..."

"Good grandson! Wake up..."

Watching the group being led away, Yao Beichen's expression remained unchanged, only the vibrant vitality in his eyes and the light of his firm belief grew even brighter.
