destiny eternal calamity

"I first met Xiaowei in July..."

Shang Xueyan concealed the fact that she had lost all her cultivation to save her uncle Yun Mingyu and that she had been unexpectedly rescued by Li Wei.

After all, the loss of the "Nine Cauldrons Subduing Demon Technique" was a secret of the Kongsang Sect, and even though she and Bai Ranran had a very good relationship, she could not reveal it casually.

She only said that the Kongsang Sect's spies stationed in the capital of Li Kingdom discovered a young man with extraordinary talent who was able to learn the Nine Cauldrons Technique.

Upon receiving the message, she immediately rushed to the capital of the country and established him as a holy son, and has been personally teaching him recently.

When Shang Xueyan mentioned the word "teaching," she was thinking about the things that happened when she was disguised as Yaoyue.

Fortunately, cultivators at the Void Realm have extremely strong control over their physical bodies, and she did not show any signs of it on her face.

Shang Xueyan recounted Li Wei's deeds: recruiting him into the princess's household as a staff member, organizing his businesses, publishing the Dali Weekly, helping Princess Tianyang refuse a marriage alliance, assisting the Heavenly Maiden in eradicating the Longevity Cult, and finally bringing down the Crown Prince.

Bai Ranran and Lin Peiyao had already learned about these things through the demon clan's intelligence organization.

However, as an observer who personally witnessed Li Wei's growth, Shang Xueyan's account is naturally much more detailed.

Of course, considering Lin Peiyao's status, Shang Xueyan did not directly reveal Li Wei's romantic affairs.

He only briefly mentioned that the two noble ladies from the princess's residence, Long Bilin and Xiao Shuying, treated Li Wei very well.

Lin Peiyao completely matched the image of Li Wei described by Shang Xueyan with the image of her brother Li Wei in her memory, who stood up for her and beat up the little brat who bullied her.

As expected, he has always been the brave and responsible Li Wei.

Only later did he realize that his father was deeply entangled in officialdom and that the Li family was in a precarious situation, so he pretended to be a martial arts failure and became depressed.

Unexpectedly, although Li Wei hid it well, her beauty as his fiancée attracted the scourge of Long Ming, who ultimately caused the death of Uncle Li.

Lin Peiyao felt guilty and her hatred for the deposed crown prince Long Ming grew even stronger.

She knew that although her master could stay in the capital for the time being, his whereabouts were definitely being watched by those old guys, so she didn't dare to ask her master to help kill Long Ming.

If Master really intervenes for her, it will inevitably bring conflict and turmoil to both the human and demon races.

As Bai Ranran listened, her mind was constantly racing with thoughts and comparisons.

Li Wei's style of doing things is really similar to that person's.

However, that man is not interested in women, while this kid sounds like he's surrounded by beautiful women.

She wasn't a carefree girl like Lin Peiyao. Although Shang Xueyan had covered up a lot for her apprentice, she could still tell that Long Bilin and Xiao Shuying had a special feeling for Li Wei.

As for Shang Xueyan as his master, well, Li Wei is the Holy Son of Kongsang, so it's normal for Shang Xueyan to treat him better.

Why would Princess Long Bilin, the Jade Princess, help Li Wei, the down-on-his-luck son of an official?

He even assigned the future head of the Xiao family to be his personal bodyguard.

Young Mu Ai, spending every day with the great beauty Xiao Shuying, how could he not be moved?

However, Bai Ranran saw through it but didn't say anything.

After all, she had just tested him yesterday, and his character was acceptable; he truly loved Yao. She had no need to sow discord among them.

After showing off, Shang Xueyan felt refreshed and invigorated.

He then showed Lin Peiyao comprehensive care, from martial arts training to hobbies, acting as a proper elder before gracefully departing.

That evening, Li Wei held Long Bilin as they fell asleep.

The princess wife silently tempered her internal organs and then fell peacefully asleep in his arms.

Li Wei knew she hadn't recovered yet, so he didn't force her.

Moreover, Aunt Yaoyue didn't come over tonight, so he finally got some peace and quiet.

Taking this opportunity, he sorted out the things he needed to do recently.

The first priority is cultivation, and there's nothing much to worry about in that regard. He's already in the late stage of the Divine Treasury realm, and with the help of dual cultivation, he should be able to enter the Dharma Aspect realm soon.

Although he doesn't have any Dharma Aspect Realm cultivation techniques on hand, he can just ask Aunt Ying for a copy when the time comes.

He'd been eyeing Aunt Ying's invisibility ability for a long time.

The second is to earn recharge points (make money).

Under the protection of the princess's residence, all the properties under his name were thriving.

Although some people have recently started counterfeiting perfumes, lingerie, and high heels, the quality still can't compare to that of Xu Niangzi.

He also repeatedly instructed Manager Xu to ensure product quality, focus on high-end products, and build a brand.

Nowadays, all the products sold by Xu Niangzi are printed with his logo—a silhouette of a young woman in profile.

This can be considered as playing with the added value of branding in this world.

As for the new product, he has already had someone contact merchants in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons to see if they can get enough spider silk to develop the stockings as soon as possible.

Thirdly, it helps the Kongsang Sect resolve the issue of its disciples falling into demonic possession.

He planned to wait until he broke through to the Dharma Aspect stage, then go to the Kongsang Sect with Senior Sister Yan and Aunt Yaoyue under her protection to fulfill his previous promise.

Finally, he helped Long Bilin win the battle for the throne.

This matter is somewhat complicated, and we need to carefully consider which tasks on the task list to prioritize.

However, it seems certain that Long Bilin will be promoted to the Dharma Aspect stage.

The following evening, he went to Xiao Shuying and taught her the "Hehuan Blood Refining Technique".

Xiao Shuying was a bit shy, and she was very resistant when she heard that Li Wei, that brat, wanted her to practice some kind of dual cultivation technique.

Li Wei had to persuade her at length, and finally she agreed after he mentioned that he had already caught up with her in cultivation and that she might even be surpassed by Long Bilin in the future.

Actually, she was mainly afraid that if she lingered too long in the Destiny and Void Realms, her appearance would age prematurely.

You should know that Grandma Xiao was a beauty when she was young, but now she is an old lady with a face full of wrinkles.

Also, she had always been the one protecting Li Wei before, and although Li Wei said he would protect her from now on, she was still a little disappointed.

She felt that she couldn't become a burden to him in the future.

Less than an hour later, Li Wei looked at the tired Aunt Ying in his arms and sighed slightly.

Surprisingly, Aunt Ying, a Dharma Aspect cultivator, wasn't much stronger in combat than my princess wife.

She can absorb much more blood and energy than Long Bilin, roughly a quarter of Li Wei's blood and energy recovery rate.

However, due to insufficient spiritual foundation, he was completely paralyzed after practicing for several cycles.

She's nowhere near as good as Aunt Yaoyue.

It seems that both Aunt Ying and Princess's Divine Realm are somewhat superficial.

I guess I've helped them solidify their skills.

However, Li Wei knew that besides their cultivation level and foundation, there was another very important difference between them and him—the Five Elements Divine Breath.

Both I and Aunt Yaoyue have this thing, and its enhancement to the Divine Treasury is immeasurable.

If only I could get some extra Five Elements Divine Essence in the future, I could give one to each of them...

Just as he was lost in thought, he received a call from Xie Youshan.

Silently uttering the word "three," I drifted into a dream.

"Shanshan, do you have any way to help me fake my cultivation level?"

Recalling his previous experience of being completely exposed by Bai Ranran's powerful divine sense, Li Wei asked Xie Youshan about it.

I had completely forgotten about this before; I was just too complacent.
