155: Stayed for a month

“The reason you say you don't like me is simply because you like those other women of yours, isn't it?”

“But what if I told you that those women of yours don’t actually like you?”

Su Xuan wore a mischievous smile.

After hearing Su Xuan's words, Liu Ruoli was a bit stunned; she had never considered such a possibility.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I’ve lived with them for so many years; if they didn’t like me, how could they have stayed with me for so long?”

Liu Ruoli retorted.

“My Ancestor Liu, you should think about it. You are the Ancestor of a Holy Land, and a dignified Great Emperor at that!”

“And those women of yours? Few of them are even in the Saint Realm, I presume! With such a huge disparity in identity and strength, do you think their true thoughts would be exposed to you?”

Su Xuan's words made Liu Ruoli fall into deep thought; what Su Xuan said indeed made sense.

“What does all this have to do with the bet you mentioned?”

Liu Ruoli asked.

“Of course, it’s related! I’ll bet you that those women of yours don't truly like you!”

Su Xuan said confidently.

“Alright! A bet it is! Who’s afraid of whom!”

Liu Ruoli readily agreed.

She was very confident that she and they genuinely loved each other, and it absolutely couldn't be as Su Xuan described!

“Alright! In that case, after I leave, you find an Opportunity to ask them!”

“I’ll bet you that they don’t truly like you. If they genuinely love you, then from now on, I will absolutely never bother you again!”

“Conversely, if they don’t like you, then from now on, you will obediently be my woman! And no matter what I ask you to do, you must listen to me!”

A playful curve appeared at the corner of Su Xuan's mouth.

He said this with natural confidence, as he had long known through the System that Liu Ruoli's so-called women were not truly with her out of genuine affection.

The reasons for this were, first, fear of Liu Ruoli's strength, and second, the significant benefits of being with Liu Ruoli.

“Good! You said this! Remember it! If, by then, things aren't as you said, then you'll stay far away from me!”

Liu Ruoli said confidently.

“Alright! No problem!”

Su Xuan nodded slightly.

...

A silent atmosphere immediately spread through the air, as if the two had suddenly run out of things to say.

“You're not leaving yet?”

Liu Ruoli frowned.

At this point, with everything said, according to Liu Ruoli's thinking, shouldn't Su Xuan just pack up and leave?

“Leave? Who said I’m leaving? Ancestor Liu, we don't get many chances to meet, so of course I have to make the most of it! Hehehe!”

Su Xuan wore a mischievous smile, and Liu Ruoli immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

...

Two days quickly passed, and only when Liu Ruoli truly couldn't bear it anymore did Su Xuan finally let her go.

It wasn't that Su Xuan particularly liked Liu Ruoli; it was just that Liu Ruoli, as a Great Emperor, was far stronger than him.

From Liu Ruoli, Su Xuan gained more experience points than from other women.

“Please let me go… I really can’t take it anymore…”

Now, Liu Ruoli looked at Su Xuan with deep fear.

A dignified Great Emperor being beaten down by a Quasi-Supreme—if word of this got out, wouldn't Liu Ruoli be laughed to death?

Seeing Liu Ruoli's somewhat submissive appearance, Su Xuan burst into laughter.

“Ancestor Liu, you’re not quite up to par!”

Fortunately, he had the 'Kidney Warrior' skill; otherwise, he truly wouldn't have known what to do with Liu Ruoli.

Facing Su Xuan's mockery, Liu Ruoli dared not speak. Earlier, she had retorted, but it only led to an even fiercer counterattack.

So, this time, Liu Ruoli cowered and dared not argue. If Su Xuan was awesome, then let him be awesome! After all, he truly was awesome!

“I think I’m about to break through; help me guard!”

Su Xuan took a sip, and immediately felt his spiritual energy about to overflow.

After fully Awakening the Gluttonous Divine Body, his efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy became even higher.

In these three days, Su Xuan's Realm had been continuously loosening, until today, his Realm finally erupted.

“What? You’re about to break through already? What kind of Cultivation Technique are you practicing that’s so abnormal?”

Liu Ruoli was filled with shock, her eyes wide with disbelief.

As a Great Emperor, she had toiled on the path of cultivation for many years, deeply understanding the difficulty of breaking through Realms. Each advancement required long periods of accumulation and Opportunity.

Back then, when she broke through from Quasi-Supreme to Supreme, it also took her several years of accumulation to reach that Realm.

And Su Xuan? How much time had passed, and he was breaking through again?

If she remembered correctly, it had been less than a month since Su Xuan went from Quasi-Supreme to Supreme!

This directly shattered Liu Ruoli's understanding of cultivation; she even suspected that Su Xuan might be the Reincarnation of a powerful being.

“Why are you still standing there stunned? I’m about to break through, hurry up and help me guard!”

Su Xuan said.

“Oh, oh!”

Liu Ruoli then belatedly took action. Unbeknownst to herself, she had already been somewhat tamed.

If it were the initial Liu Ruoli, she would definitely have retorted, but the current Liu Ruoli did not.

With Liu Ruoli's help, the commotion caused by Su Xuan's Breakthrough was forcibly suppressed.

Liu Li Peak itself contained various taboos, and coupled with Ancestor Liu's Great Emperor methods, outsiders had no idea what was happening there. Even the Disciples guarding Liu Li Peak didn't notice anything unusual.

As Su Xuan's Breakthrough progressed steadily, the aura around him grew increasingly vast. Powerful spiritual energy fluctuations formed spiritual energy storms around his body, constantly impacting the surrounding space.

However, with Liu Ruoli present, these celestial phenomena were quickly resolved by her.

“Damn it… Why am I doing this for him? If there’s work, the secretary does it; if there’s no work…”

Liu Ruoli had learned this phrase from Su Xuan, and although she didn't quite understand its meaning, she felt it was quite appropriate to describe her current predicament.

Time passed bit by bit, and the power within Su Xuan's body continuously condensed, erupted, and re-condensed.

Su Xuan's consciousness was immersed in a state of Chaos. He could clearly feel his body undergoing an unprecedented transformation.

Bones were reshaping, muscles were strengthening, Meridians were widening, and every cell was cheering, as if welcoming a new birth.

One month later.

“Break for me!”

Su Xuan roared.

With a furious roar, the Bottleneck restraining Su Xuan was also broken, and a powerful aura immediately leaked from Su Xuan's body.
