131: Must be closer to Liu Xuanyuan

"Master... I'm so sleepy... Can I... sleep for a bit?"

The Black Crystal Bee Queen's Foundation Establishment Breakthrough process was actually still ongoing; although her Physical Body had completed the Breakthrough, the innate Legacy in her Bloodline still needed to Awaken.

This Awakening required time to settle, anywhere from three to five days to as long as ten days to half a month.

"Contain your aura; do not expose it without my command!" Liu Xuan ordered.

Even the unconscious emission of the Black Crystal Bee Queen's aura after her Foundation Establishment Breakthrough was enough to shock the mind. If she didn't contain her aura, everyone would know something was amiss with this Water Pavilion.

"Alright!"

Most of her consciousness was currently receiving the Bloodline Legacy memories, but it was still no problem to spare a trace of her mind to contain and hide her aura.

The terrifying Vicious Beast aura that caused fear receded, and the Black Crystal Bee Queen lay in her hive, looking like nothing more than a slightly larger Spiritual Bee.

‘A Foundation Establishment Yao Beast Spiritual Pet! Finally, I can feel a little more at ease.’

Although Little Shadow barely had Foundation Establishment combat power, it lacked intelligence and was easily countered in a real fight.

The Black Crystal Bee Queen was different. Once she finished receiving her Bloodline Legacy, she would quickly be able to Cultivate a large swarm of powerful worker bees.

A Black Crystal Bee Swarm of a hundred thousand Qi Refinement Stage and above—no skill needed, just direct encirclement.

No Cultivator of the same Realm was willing to provoke a gregarious Spiritual Insect Yao Beast like the Black Crystal Bees.

Liu Xuan left the Water Pavilion and came to the courtyard. He then slowly stopped manipulating the Formation. The Water Dragon circling in mid-air plunged into the lake and disappeared, and the violent Spiritual Qi fluctuations around them slowly subsided.

"Dad! There was a Dragon in the sky."

"Daddy, did you see it just now? A Dragon burrowed into the water!"

Four-year-old Liu Ling Miao, with two buns on her head, pointed her small hand at the spot where the Water Dragon had just plunged into the lake.

"Daddy ~"

"Daddy ~"

...Soon, a group of children, big and small, ran towards Liu Xuan, sharing what they had just seen.

"Dad saw it!"

"I'll tell you a secret: that Dragon just now was summoned by me, your dad."

Liu Xuan was in a good mood and decided to tease the children.

"Really?"

Little Liu Miao tugged at Liu Xuan's clothes, her eyes full of stars.

"Dad's lying!"

"Such a big Dragon!"

"I don't believe it!"

Fourth Young Master Liu Daocheng said, looking up.

Liu Xuan glanced at him disdainfully, snapped his fingers, and a miniature Water Dragon, over a meter long, condensed in the air.

"Wow ~"

"Wow ~"

..."Dad! I want to learn, I want to learn this!"

That kid, Daocheng, immediately changed his expression. He had no resistance to such a cool ability.

If he could learn this ability to summon a Dragon, he would definitely be able to surpass Big Brother Eldest Son in the future and become the true Big Brother himself.

"You want to learn?"

"Mhm! Mhm!"

Daocheng nodded repeatedly.

"If you want to learn, then practice martial arts diligently. You must first learn the Martial Dao before you can learn this from me."

Daocheng's little face fell, but he immediately regained his fighting spirit. It was just practicing martial arts, after all. As long as he worked hard, it certainly wouldn't be too difficult for him.

Many other children also showed resolute little expressions, their motivation for practicing martial arts strengthening by several points.

"Husband, Senior Sister Kexin wants to see you."

Yang Xiaoyun, who was responsible for personal attendance, walked up to Liu Xuan and said.

Yang Xiaoyun had recently gained Liu Xuan's favor. Not long ago, she confirmed her pregnancy, and he kept her by his side at all times, entrusting her with some messaging duties.

"I know, I'll be right there."

Liu Xuan instructed the children to practice martial arts diligently, then got up and walked towards the reception hall.

Inside the hall, a small girl full of Spiritual Qi sat in her seat, her pretty face filled with confusion.

"Senior Sister Kexin, long time no see!"

Seeing Zhang Kexin again, Liu Xuan was still attracted by the Spiritual Qi emanating from her.

Her eyes were like autumn water, her nose high and delicately small. The maiden's liveliness and playfulness were perfectly displayed on her.

Her appearance was secondary; Zhang Kexin also had a third-grade superior Spiritual Root, which made Liu Xuan drool, unable to resist the urge to care for her.

Unfortunately, this girl avoided him every day. It was difficult to even see her normally, and when he did, she ignored him.

"What's going on with you? How could you exert the One Yuan Water Dragon Grand Array to that extent just now?"

Zhang Kexin asked curiously.

Only by truly trying it did one know the complexity of the Formation. She and Senior Sister Xiaozhu often practiced and had specifically found many books on manipulating the One Yuan Water Dragon Grand Array to study.

Even so, with the help of the Gathering Formation to collect the Cultivator's magical power and their coordinated manipulation of the Formation, they could at most only exert thirty percent of the One Yuan Water Dragon Grand Array's power.

Yet Liu Xuan, just by himself, was able to reach that level just now, even subtly exceeding thirty percent, reaching about thirty-five percent.

Liu Xuan had clearly not practiced much, nor had he discussed it with her or Senior Sister Xiaozhu. Why could he reach such a level? She didn't understand!

"I don't know either! I just tried it casually. Maybe I have a little talent for Formations."

Liu Xuan possessed Divine Sense, which was a dimensionality reduction attack in terms of Formation manipulation for Qi Refinement Stage Disciples like Zhang Kexin.

Without much study or practice, he could easily reach the level they had diligently researched for a long time.

Moreover, a large part of the commotion just now was him channeling the aura of the Black Crystal Bee Queen's Breakthrough into the Formation, creating the illusion of a terrifying aura from the Formation's Water Dragon.

In reality, Liu Xuan could only exert a little over twenty percent of the Grand Array's power, which was slightly less than what Zhang Kexin and Zhou Xiaozhu could achieve together.

"A little Formation talent?!"

Zhang Kexin couldn't hold back. "What exactly are you *not* talented in?"

She lived with Great Master Xiao Ran, and the two were best friends, so she knew a lot about Liu Xuan's situation.

Cultivation talent, Talisman talent, Sword Dao talent, and now even Formation talent—was he going to let people live?

She used to be called the most talented genius of the younger generation, but now, in front of Liu Xuan, she felt like she was nothing.

"Uh..."

Liu Xuan was very helpless. He wanted to be low-key too, but he couldn't help it! Gold always shines and cannot be hidden.

"Forget it! Since you can control the Grand Array alone, you'll be responsible for the island's defense from now on. I won't bother with it."

Zhang Kexin suddenly lost interest in Formations, finding it meaningless.

"Don't be like that, Senior Sister!"

"You know, I'm very busy sometimes and can't always manage."

"What are you busy with?"

"Busy with..."

Zhang Kexin suddenly got a little angry, stood up, and said, "You tell Great Master yourself, I'm leaving first."

She looked up at Liu Xuan, then immediately shifted her gaze away. She was afraid that if she stayed with Liu Xuan for too long, she would be influenced by his handsome and jade-like appearance, distorting her true perception.

"I'll see Senior Sister off!"

Liu Xuan also got up, accompanying her as they walked out.

He could tell that this girl, Zhang Kexin, didn't dislike him; she even had a little affection, so there might be a chance if he tried.

The two walked side by side, heading out together. A ridiculous thought arose in Zhang Kexin's mind: actually, it wasn't a big deal if Liu Xuan had many women and children... She immediately shook her head, throwing that thought out of her mind, and quickened her pace.

‘I must stay far away from Liu Xuan in the future!’ she constantly warned herself.
