Pack Up and Bring the Whole Family Along

"Now I am also a grandmaster..."

Fu Hua bent down and patted Li Sushang's head.

What were my dreams when I was just an ordinary girl...?

Oh, I want to live a simple and peaceful life with Teacher Liu, and ideally, I want to be called Great-Grandma before I die... which is the so-called four generations under one roof.

Looking back now, although it's a bit strange, including my master, it's still a unique four-generation family? My own generation has inexplicably become that of a grandmaster.

Rounding up, I'd say I've accomplished more than half of my dream?

No... I should say a little over half, right?

After all, the core of that dream was "to spend my whole life with Teacher Liu".

Even so, Fu Hua's gaze towards Li Sushang became much more affectionate, after all, in a sense, she was practically his granddaughter.

"... Consider this Tai Xu Sword Intent as my apology as a 'big bad guy.' The path of martial arts is long, and you might need it in the future."

"Ugh—!"

Li Sushang felt a sharp pain in her head, and the next moment, Fu Hua moved her hand away.

"Isn't our Tai Xu Sword Sect's tradition of familial affection between grandparents and grandchildren?"

Su Mei couldn't help but laugh as she watched this scene. "Our grandmaster treated us like this back then, and now you're treating Susang the same way... Heh, thinking about it this way, it's not really unfair."

"If Su Mei wants one, I can give it to you without hesitation."

"No need for Master to worry. Su Mei's martial arts have reached their limit, so there's no need for this sword intent."

Su Mei shook her head.

Then Fu Hua looked at Qin Suyi, and Qin Suyi shook her head.

Among the Seven Swords, Cheng Lingshuang's talent is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Su Mei.

Su Mei felt she had reached the end of her martial arts journey, and Qin Suyi also felt there was no need to waste her energy on it.

And most importantly, they are now past the prime age for learning martial arts.

On the contrary, Li Sushang is only four years old now. Her talent is only slightly inferior to Cheng Lingshuang's. As long as she is taught, even if she cannot become a sword god at the age of thirteen like Cheng Lingshuang, she should reach the level of sword god at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

"... If I learn this, will I become as young as my stepmother?"

The exceptionally intelligent Li Sushang only half understood what she was hearing, so she cautiously asked a very important question.

And so, the next moment, everyone else saw that Cheng Lingshuang and Fu Hua, who were both expressionless, seemed to have evolved into ice-cold faces in an instant.

"... Children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint."

Qin Suyi quickly pulled Li Sushang back—"How could you say something like that?"

But there's no way to refute that statement—after all, the only two people in the world who can use the Sword God skill are both flat-chested.

Well, to be honest, Qin Suyi felt that even if those two were combined and multiplied by ten, they still couldn't beat her.

"Second Senior Sister, don't you think so? This girl is really..."

Qin Suyi was halfway through her sentence when she noticed that her second senior sister's expression was also somewhat unnatural.

Su Mei smiled as she looked at Qin Suyi, who was seeking her help. "To be honest, in another ten years or so, with enough time and effort, I might actually be able to reach the realm of Sword God."

"..."

That's not what you just said!

But thinking about it carefully, it seems there's actually nothing wrong with what he said.

After all, among the Seven Swords, besides Cheng Lingshuang, the strongest is Su Mei... As long as my second senior sister is willing to devote herself to cultivation, it seems that it is not impossible for her to reach the realm of Sword God in more than ten years.

So... this girl offended not only the two strongest fighters present with just one sentence, but also the one with one of the highest IQs?

My unlucky kid is probably doomed.

Even if we don't talk about Su Mei, let alone Li Sushang, even if they pinned her to the ground and beat her up, she wouldn't be able to fight back, okay?

"Fifth Senior Sister..."

Qin Suyi looked pitifully at Cheng Lingshuang, who was reaching out her hand to Li Sushang.

She could also see that her master's personality wasn't so bad as to follow Li Sushang's path—to put it bluntly, none of them had ever been beaten by their master, okay?

Li Sushang's words were a bit excessive, but not enough to warrant a beating from the immortal.

But my fifth senior sister... well, she really meant it when she said she'd take action.

"Susang, stepmother will give you candy... How about coming to play with stepmother?" Cheng Lingshuang pulled out candy from somewhere, tempting Li Sushang.

"You've already accepted being called 'stepmother'."

Liu Bai drifted over to Otto's side.

"But this scene is really nice."

"As expected."

Otto nodded at the Lord God beside him, but the next moment, Otto's expression stiffened.

Uh... wait a minute, it seems my own Lord God didn't use a soul steel body, but how did I see that?

Otto instinctively reached out to touch Liu Bai, but unsurprisingly, he touched nothing.

"... What are you doing here?"

"Ah, this? Actually, I can let you see me."

The bonus effect of the Guardian Spirit skill at level 10 is that it allows the host to see themselves.

Back then, Himeko and Liu Bai would stare at each other every day during the simulation, but after entering Otto Simulation this time... well, because of the initial mindset issues, Liu Bai turned off this function.

And then I forgot about it...

Hmm, I forgot.

After all, Liu Bai himself couldn't discover this thing, and his original intention was to distance himself from Otto.

As time went by, Liu Bai forgot about it.

Because the time Liu Bai was seen during his ghostly life was far less than the time he was unseen, Liu Bai simply didn't sense anything was wrong.

"..."

Otto's lips twitched slightly; she suddenly felt she wanted to say something.

But... ah! This figure! This appearance! Ah! I'm dead!

There is a difference between a doll and a life-size figure. At least a life-size figure allows Otto to more clearly understand the gender and charm of his Lord God.

So Otto knelt down.

It's an honor for you, Otto, to have your feelings toyed with by the Lord God! The Lord God are now allowing you to see their majestic form; you should be grateful! How can you be dissatisfied!?

I'm self-motivated...

PUA successful!

"Ugh...!"

"... Otto, why are you kneeling on the ground crying? And why are you covering your mouth?"

"Feeling unwell?"

Otto's commotion drew the attention of everyone else.

"No... it's just that I'm moved... yes, moved... God really does love his believers."

"...ha?"

Cheng Lingshuang raised her eyes – for some reason, she felt really uncomfortable hearing those words.

Could the "god" mentioned here refer to the grandmaster?

Okay, no need to think, it must be—she and Otto have known each other for at least seven years!

But what's wrong with this guy suddenly acting like this...?

"... Isn't it a bit inappropriate for our grandmaster to be staying at someone else's house all the time?" Su Mei said softly.

"A little." Cheng Lingshuang nodded.

Unlike their current barely-warmed relationship with Fu Hua, they've always had a warm relationship with their own master, okay?

Without their own master, it's still uncertain whether they can reconcile with Fu Hua. Even Liu Bai, who had remained silent throughout this reconciliation, had to step in!

Some people don't speak, and everyone can pretend they don't exist. But some people don't speak, and everyone has to remember their good deeds and give them face.

"Hey Otto, why are you covering your mouth?"

Cheng Lingshuang asked curiously.

"...nothing."

Otto wiped his mouth, calmed himself down, and stood up.

This was the first time in her life that something called "beastly instinct" had been aroused within her.

Admittedly, she had just had a whole bunch of messy thoughts, including some outrageous ones.

From "pushing down the Lord God" to "I hope no one will notice if I secretly lick the Lord God's shoe?"

Hmm... Otto even wondered if he was out of his mind when he had some of these thoughts.

However, these ideas ultimately succumbed to reality—yes, reality, not reason.

Our own Lord God doesn't have a body! So we can't lick him even if we wanted to!

Chapter 274 Bringing the Family Along and Packing a Bundle

"I always feel that Miss Otto is thinking about something not so good."

Su Mei looked at Otto with a somewhat puzzled expression. Although Su Mei not as intelligent as Otto was better at understanding and grasping people's hearts.

So Su Mei unexpectedly sensed something very wild in Otto's expression.

(... I really don't want my insight to be used in this way.)

"... How could I possibly have any bad thoughts?"

Otto smirked. "It just confirms that I'm probably still human."

"I'm more curious about what Miss Otto thought of herself before this."

Su Mei dutifully complained.

No, it's less about complaining and more about diverting the other person's attention and getting them to give up that wild idea.

Otto turned his head away and didn't say anything.

"I just feel like this whole thing is really baffling."

Su Mei sighed, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked Miss Otto what business she has come for this time. If it is within our power, please feel free to ask."

Su Mei steered the conversation back on track.

At this moment, Qin Suyi also realized that it was impossible for someone so far away to know about her master's affairs. They must have their own business to attend to in the Central Plains.

"Well... it's nothing serious, I just want to borrow a feather from the Scarlet Bird Immortal."

"This matter is easy."

Fu Hua nodded in agreement without hesitation.

In the past, she might have asked a few questions, but the atmosphere was so lively that Fu Hua didn't bother asking anything that would spoil the mood.

Moreover, with his master by his side, he should be able to avoid any trouble.

"It's getting late, I'll go cook for you."

"Master, are you cooking?"

Qin Suyi's face showed an expression as if the world had ended.

"Xiao Qi, calm down. Didn't our grandmaster tell us before that Master can cook?" Su Mei patted Qin Suyi.

Even I think that expression of yours is too much!
