140: Sleeping together? That's not a good idea...

"Lingxiao, why aren't you resting a bit longer?"

Not long after Chu Yi left, Jun Wenhao arrived, accompanied by the Old Ancestor.

Originally, the Old Ancestor wanted to ask something, but upon seeing the golden glow in Jun Lingxiao's eyes, all questions became meaningless.

To distinguish a Divine Authority Holder, one only needed to look at their eyes.

A circle of golden light in the eyes, majestic and noble, was absolutely inimitable.

The two spoke as they walked in, passing Jun Siyu in the middle, their gazes not lingering on her at all.

Jun Siyu, facing this bad old man, was a little scared and wanted to leave, shrinking her head.

But a single glance from Jun Lingxiao made her stop.

"There's still a lot to handle; sleeping later is the same," Jun Lingxiao said, casually pulling a chair and pushing it towards Jun Siyu, then began conversing with the Old Ancestor.

Jun Siyu looked up at the three people happily conversing, seemingly not noticing her at all, then looked outside, and finally at the chair.

'Is this for me to sit on?'

She wondered inwardly, but no one answered.

Eventually, she hesitantly sat on the chair.

Strangely, she felt that the Jun Family suddenly had a place for her, becoming less unfamiliar, and also having a place to rest.

"Lingxiao, is it really the Seventh Divine Authority? What is its Divine Ability?"

The Old Ancestor asked urgently. Although he had already made a judgment in his heart, he still couldn't quite believe it when he truly saw the majestic golden light in Jun Lingxiao's eyes.

This was a Divine Authority Holder! There was no distinction of strength between Divinities; their ranking was determined by the order of their Awakening. Every Divine Authority Holder was a formidable weapon.

A Divine Ability was more like a natal Divine Ability, but this Divine Ability was even more powerful, even surpassing Law, a power that could easily change the world.

When every Divine Authority Holder Awakened, a pillar of light would descend from the heavens to announce it to all beings, and purple was the symbol of the Seventh Divine Authority.

Facing the Old Ancestor's question, Jun Lingxiao extended his hand and made a gesture in the air.

"I don't know if it's the Seventh, but its Divine Ability is Slash."

As his voice fell, the space at his fingertip was split open. It wasn't a cut from top to bottom as if by a sword, nor was it traceable or even smooth; instead, it was shaped like lightning.

"Hiss ~ This is indeed... a power beyond Law..."

The Old Ancestor gasped when he saw the rift, then directly reached his hand into it.

Logically, such a spatial rift would suck in everything it touched. Those with insufficient Body Refining strength would be torn to shreds by the spatial turbulence inside the moment they touched it.

Of course, with his Body Refining strength, he wasn't afraid of such turbulence, but unexpectedly... his hand was blocked. The severed area acted like a barrier, preventing movement.

No matter how much he increased his strength, or even used Dao power, he couldn't move the rift an inch, let alone pass through it.

"Old Ancestor, is this... truly cutting space?" Jun Wenhao stared blankly at this scene, vaguely feeling that his grandson seemed to have obtained something extraordinary.

After experimenting a few more times, the Old Ancestor finally gasped again, marveling: "It's not cutting, but Slash! A spatial rift temporarily opens a gap in this world, but this thing slashes open the world. Strictly speaking, this side of the rift and that side of the rift are already two completely independent worlds, so it's naturally impossible to cross."

"This thing, I'm afraid, can directly slash open a Domain, even a Dharma, and even the Heaven and Earth Dharma!"

"A power completely beyond the current Cultivation system, it can probably only be countered by another Divine Authority Holder."

As he spoke, the Old Ancestor's excitement was unconcealed. Not to mention instantly killing people, just instantly Slash a Domain and instantly Slash your Heaven and Earth Dharma leaves no room for a fight.

Prodigy? Genius? All natal Law, accompanying treasures, and anomalous Physiques become useless. Under this Divine Authority, all are equal. How can you fight?

The few talked animatedly, but to avoid disturbing Jun Lingxiao's rest, they ended their conversation briefly after a while.

However, as they left, the Old Ancestor waved his hand grandly, even boasting that he would directly abolish the Jun Family's Ten Paths and give all their resources to Jun Lingxiao.

The two were shocked by this and had to kindly persuade him to abandon the idea. Moreover, Jun Lingxiao didn't actually lack resources now; the Chu Family had sent many, and the Jun Family even specially created a Divine Son Hall to store his Cultivation resources.

There were too many; they couldn't fit, simply couldn't fit.

Originally, a small room would have been enough, but now even the small room couldn't hold them all.

While the three were talking there, Jun Siyu was sitting on the chair, frequently dozing off.

She was truly too tired today and hadn't rested. A child's stamina had long since given out.

Fortunately, she still had a half-eaten sour fruit in her hand. When she got too sleepy, she would take a bite, which allowed her to last a little longer.

"Sleepy?"

After seeing off his grandfather and the Old Ancestor, Jun Lingxiao glanced at Jun Siyu and asked.

"Mm..."

She was indeed quite sleepy, but she had nowhere to sleep and felt too embarrassed to ask... Jun Lingxiao nodded, then got up to tidy his bed. He then took out a set of brand new bedding from a nearby cabinet and began to spread it on his bed, saying as he did so:

"The bed next door is for my maid. Although she hasn't returned yet, don't touch her things. Also, although the Divine Son Hall is the residence of successive Divine Sons, it's fine for you to stay for a while. This is my bed; you'll sleep here from now on."

Jun Lingxiao's room was actually very large, even containing two beds. An Luoxin's bed was not far from his, directly opposite his bed. Of course, her bed was smaller than Jun Lingxiao's, which was more than spacious enough for three people.

Jun Siyu watched her brother make the bed, completely unaware that she was the first person to have a Divine Son help her make a bed. Her attention was elsewhere: "Won't this be a bit inappropriate...?"

Her small mouth pouted, and a hint of joy was hidden between her brows.

'Although sleeping together is a bit inappropriate, is Big Brother worried about me?'

This thought grew stronger, almost making her unable to hide the smile at the corner of her mouth.

But then, her smile froze in an instant. Jun Lingxiao, after neatly folding his bedding, told her to sleep, then walked out the door.

After saying something to the guard outside, he walked directly into the distance.

Watching the guard come in to tidy things, Jun Siyu couldn't hold back any longer and chased out the door, shouting at Jun Lingxiao's retreating back: "Big Brother, aren't you sleeping with me?"

Tears glistened in her eyes. At this moment, she was more helpless than when she first entered the Jun Family.

She had finally found someone who cared about her, or was it that he actually looked down on her too?

Jun Siyu's mind was a mess, full of wild thoughts, but all of it vanished without a trace when Jun Lingxiao turned his head.

His calm face seemed helpless, yet also carried a hint of resolve, but uniquely... there was no expression of disdain or contempt.

"No."

"I bear an alliance. This Divine Son Hall will be yours from now on."

His tone was calm, and his expression seemed to contain something else.

It was as if he was saying... that father, he's yours too. I don't need him.
