New Century Good Neighbor

[This chapter counts as yesterday's~~ It's an extra chapter for the adorable and silly leader, an extra chapter for her adorable antics.]

Is this seemingly lazy fellow a joke? Don't resist, let him beat you up, and then take a picture and post it on social media?

"A Fourth-Grade Xiantian Innate Realm guy, what a big mouth! Does he think they're easy targets?"

The middle-aged Spirit Emperor and the white-haired, youthful-looking Spirit Emperor exchanged a glance. Teaching a Fourth-Grade fellow a lesson wouldn't take long.

Well then, before we leave, let's teach this arrogant guy a lesson!

"I'll handle this. Time is short; I'll end the battle in an instant," said the middle-aged Spirit Emperor. He stepped forward, gathering spiritual power between his fingers. His attack power was stronger than that of the white-haired, youthful-looking Spirit Emperor.

Liu Jianyi scratched the back of his head and sighed, "This is a headache. I've already explained it very simply and clearly."

Things in this world are always so complicated. Some things that are clearly very simple often involve a very troublesome process before the result is achieved.

Don't people realize that... a great deal of physical and mental energy will be wasted in the process of carrying out this troublesome task?

This energy and physical strength are precious; wouldn't it be shameful to waste them? Especially time—wouldn't it be wonderful to use that time to sleep?

"A mere Fourth-Grade... quite the boastful tone." The middle-aged Spirit Emperor said in a deep voice, "It's a pity I can't use spells with large-scale spiritual energy fluctuations... but to deal with a mere Fourth-Grade you, I don't need any powerful spells."

"Fourth-Grade Realm? Oh..." Liu Jianyi was taken aback at first, then clapped his hands. "Wait a minute! You forgot, you've habitually disguised your realm again."

The next moment, a powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted from Liu Jianyi.

The two Spirit Emperor before them immediately changed their expressions... their opponent was also Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor.

Although their spiritual energy was slightly weaker than the other two's, the quality of their spiritual energy was much higher... This was because the quality of their Golden Core was far superior.

Pretending to be weak to fool the strong?

"So now, can I give you guys a good beating?" Liu Jianyi asked expectantly. As he spoke, he took out his phone and pulled out a 'selfie stick' from his pocket. He first fixed the angle for the photo, and then snapped a picture of himself with the two Spirit Emperors in front of him.

Putting away his selfie stick and phone, Liu Jianyi added, "Don't worry, I won't hit you too hard. At most, I'll leave you with some minor cuts and bruises, which will heal in no time. Take a picture after I'm done, so I can report back. Then you Go You way, and I'll go mine. You're happy, and so am I!"

The middle-aged Spirit Emperor: "..."

The white-haired, youthful-looking Spirit Emperor: "..."

In the void, the Venerable Spirit Butterfly: "..."

Soft Feather blinked slightly.

Liu Jianyi's lazy demeanor was enough to ignite anger in anyone who looked at him—although Liu Jianyi was actually just trying to slack off, his tone and expression made it seem as if he was looking down on and provoking the two Golden Core Spirit Emperors.

The white-haired, youthful-looking Spirit Emperor suppressed his anger and asked, "Fellow Daoist, I want to know why you are making things difficult for us?"

Liu Jianyi scratched his head. "Ah, didn't I tell you? It's quite troublesome to explain, but I'll still tell you anyway."

"Before... weren't you stationed at the Void Sword Sect, standing up for them? And then, weren't you unleashing your oppressive aura on the Chu Household's camp? And then, coincidentally, my junior sister, my master's precious daughter, was a guest at the Chu Household. Your oppressive aura frightened my junior sister."

"Then, my master got very angry. So, I need to beat you all up to appease him?"

"I've already explained so much, how about you just obediently give me a beating? Anyway, I'm pretty lazy, beating people won't take a single extra ounce of effort."

With that, Liu Jianyi rolled up his sleeves. "I won't use magic weapons, I'll just use my fists!"

The middle-aged Spirit Emperor: "..."

The white-haired, youthful-looking Spirit Emperor: "..."

This guy is so arrogant and conceited!

"Words are useless. If you want to beat us up, let your strength speak for itself!" the middle-aged Spirit Emperor said in a deep voice.

The white-haired, youthful-looking Spirit Emperor said no more, and instead raised a small flag, letting his actions speak for themselves.

Liu Jianyi: "..."

All my explanations have been completely useless? If that's the case, why did I waste all that breath?

Don't these two guys know that talking is a waste of energy? Moreover, talking not only wastes energy, but also saliva, and every drop of saliva is precious water for the human body.

Thus, a major battle was inevitable.

Liu Jianyi VS the Spirit Emperor duo.

The middle-aged Spirit Emperor launched the first attack.

The white-haired, youthful-looking Spirit Emperor was in charge of defense. The two of them worked closely together, one attacking and the other defending, and their switching between offense and defense was as smooth as flowing water.

Liu Jianyi employed a Defensive Counterattack tactic. Standing atop his flying sword, he blocked every attack and countered every attack with impeccable defense, while also launching counter-attacks from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already exchanged more than three hundred blows.

Both sides tacitly refrained from using wide-range spells or powerful skills.

The Spirit Emperor duo didn't want to cause a major disturbance, especially since they were in the process of escaping.

Liu Jianyi is lazy. Large-scale spells and powerful skills consume a lot of energy. As an energy-saving person, he would never use two fingers to do something that can be done with one finger.

Before they knew it, the two sides had exchanged more than three hundred blows.

The two Spirit Emperors had been unable to break through, and Liu Jianyi frowned slightly—if this dragged on any longer, it seemed that it would consume even more of his stamina.

Then, in the next moment, the situation changed drastically.

"Butterfly-Phoenix Transformation!" Liu Jianyi's deep voice rang out.

Then, a phantom of Phoenix engulfed in flames appeared behind Liu Jianyi, but Phoenix wings were actually a pair of beautiful butterfly wings.

As the butterfly-winged Phoenix appeared, the light of flames enveloped the entire space.

Within this fiery space, the two Spirit Emperor's senses were rendered ineffective, and their spiritual power could not extend to a range of more than one meter. All they could perceive, through their five senses and spiritual power, was the flames imbued with the aura of the Phoenix.

"Aaaaaah!" The two Spirit Emperor let out screams of agony.

Subsequently, both Spirit Emperor lost consciousness.

The phantom image of the butterfly-winged Phoenix faded away, leaving only a slight burnt smell in the air.

Liu Jianyi clicked his tongue. "Damn it, I burned two days' worth of calories. How long will it take me to recover all that energy?"

After sighing, Liu Jianyi went to the two Spirit Emperors who had been roasted to a crisp and used his spiritual power to support their falling bodies.

The process of defeating these two Spirit Emperor was much smoother than Liu Jianyi had imagined—not because Liu Jianyi's strength had improved, but because these two Spirit Emperors had many concerns during the battle, holding back their strength and only being able to unleash up to 70% of their full power.

In addition, Liu Jianyi suddenly unleashed his power and took them down.

Upon reaching the two Spirit Emperors, Liu Jianyi unleashed his fists, mercilessly punching and kicking them until they were bruised and swollen.

"You're such a jerk, always trying to drain my energy," Liu Jianyi said, adding even more force to his punch.

After thoroughly beating the two Spirit Emperor into a pulp, Liu Jianyi nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he took out his phone and selfie stick, and adjusted the angle.

Liu Jianyi snapped more than a dozen photos in a row, and then posted them to his WeChat Moments with great satisfaction.

After taking the photos, Liu Jianyi put away his phone, climbed onto his flying sword, and prepared to fly back to the location of the Immortal Severing Platform...

As for the two Spirit Emperors... after losing Liu Jianyi's spiritual power to support them, they fell from the sky and crashed into the small hill below with a 'boom,' creating two large craters.

In the void.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly rubbed his chin. "Has the Butterfly-Phoenix Transformation been completed...? This kid was just telling me not long ago that he was cultivating the 'Butterfly-Eagle Transformation,' and that he would spend the next year diligently cultivating the 'Butterfly-Phoenix Transformation.' So, is this guy planning to slack off for the next year?"

Oh no, my heart is starting to hurt again.

How could he have been so blind as to take Liu Jianyi as his top disciple?

The sun rises, and before we know it, a new day has begun.

A new day begins; I must be even stricter with Jianyi.

******************************

A new day begins

Wenzhou City, White Whale Road.

After several days of secluded cultivation, Song Shuhang's New Century Good Neighbor, "Daoist Cloudmist," returned to the Song Family home with many generous gifts, also inquiring about when Shuhang would be returning from his trip.

Upon entering the Song Family, Daoist Cloudmist received a warm welcome from Mom Song.

Then, Daoist Cloudmist quickly received heartbreaking news from Mom Song: "What? Song Shuhang's plane to go on vacation has gone missing?"

Mom Song thought that Daoist Cloudmist was worried about Shuhang's safety, so she quickly explained, "Yes, I was really worried those few days. But don't worry, although the plane lost contact, fortunately everyone landed safely on a kind-hearted wealthy man's island and no one was in any danger."

"..." Daoist Cloudmist sighed deeply, then asked softly, "How long will it take for Shuhang to return home?"

"The exact time is uncertain, but it's said that the tycoon's private luxury cruise ship has already set sail and should bring Shuhang and the others back soon," Mom Song chuckled—she had been in a good mood ever since she learned that Song Shuhang was safe.

"That's good, that's good." The New Century Good Neighbor, 'Daoist Cloudmist', gave a bitter smile.

Good heavens! He just wanted to use the Enlightenment Stone to cultivate for a bit, why does it have to be made like in a TV drama, with all these twists and turns?

******************************

One hundred miles Chu Household,

Here, there is an underground Magma Cavern.

Inside the Magma Cavern, there is an artificially created Blood Pool.

The Blood Pool surged with turbulent waves.

Then, a figure with no arms emerged from the Blood Pool. It was the 'sir' whose scroll had been stolen by Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

"Hehe, you look quite disheveled." A graceful figure appeared and teased.
