I'd Rather Starve Than Accept Your Money! / Xiao Li, Do You Want to Be a Disciple Who Seduces Her Master, Too?
At this moment, Qin Suyi was also filled with regret, regretting that she had lured a shark into her senior sisters' lives, and also regretting that she hadn't stopped them from killing their master!
However, this is probably retribution. After all, from a moral standpoint, a disciple who murders his master and rebels deserves to die!
"Mother, I..."
Li Sushang hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to stay by Master's side. Master is very powerful, and I want to stay by Master's side to learn skills!"
Of course, that's only one reason. Another reason is that Ling Xi has all kinds of delicious food, as well as gadgets called cell phones and computers, plus all kinds of comics. She... can't bear to leave!
Besides, Ling Xi is very good to me, well... except when she forces me to study!
Qin Suyi: "..." I'm doomed...
Chapter 567: I'd rather starve to death than take you in!
"Sushang, what did you say?"
Qin Suyi grasped Li Sushang's hand, looked at her earnestly, and asked, "Do you really want to stay?"
"Yes..."
Li Sushang nodded gently and said softly, "I... want to stay by Master's side."
Ling Xi "..."
"Ahem, I'll say it again, I'm not your master, and..."
Ling Xi glanced at Qin Suyi and said, "Hurry up and take your daughter back, or I'll regret it!"
"I'm not leaving..."
Li Sushang sat down directly at Ling Xi's feet and snorted, "Unless you accept me!"
"Heh, if I were to accept you as a disciple, you would say it's only natural for a disciple to stay with his master, right?"
Ling Xi looked at Li Sushang with annoyance. Two months ago, this girl was quite well-behaved, but after watching some anime, she seems to have started to go astray.
"Um... I... I'm not that kind of person."
When her thoughts were seen through, Li Sushang blushed, but it did not affect her belief in becoming an apprentice.
Qin Suyi "..."
Qin Suyi was speechless at the sight. Perhaps this was... fate!
Well then, I was just thinking of sending Li Sushang to become an apprentice anyway, and now it seems... becoming Ling Xi's apprentice might be a good choice!
After all, Ling Xi was a much stronger being than his own master, and...
Although Ling Xi was decisive in killing, he only killed those he had enemies with and those who deliberately came to him. As for innocent people, such as the group of onlookers from before, Ling Xi did not lay a hand on them, and...
Ling Xi's attitude towards his master shows that Ling Xi cares deeply about the people around him.
Therefore, letting Sushang follow Ling Xi might not be a bad thing...
Although I originally planned for Li Sushang to study under Cheng Lingshuang, but...
The Tai Xu Seven Swords have become history, and the sect they founded will, from this day forward, be relegated to a third-rate force. After all... the sect leader is gone, and the sect's experts are gone too...
"Uncle-Master..."
Finally, Qin Suyi bowed to Ling Xi and said, "Since Sushang and Martial Uncle are destined to be together, then I will entrust Sushang to Martial Uncle from now on. Well then... take care, Junior Nephew, farewell!"
After saying that, Qin Suyi disappeared, leaving Ling Xi bewildered in the wind...
"Hey, wait..."
Ling Xi was about to chase after Qin Suyi and stop her, but then she thought, "Why don't you take this little guy with you too!"
After enduring two months of torment, Ling Xi no longer wants to take care of the baby!
"Master!"
However, Li Sushang directly grabbed Ling Xi's leg to cover her mother's escape, and at the same time... she decided to become Ling Xi's disciple!
Ling Xi "..."
"Alright, let go now..."
Looking at Li Sushang's determined expression, Ling Xi was speechless.
"Hey-hey..."
Li Sushang obediently released her grip on Ling Xi's leg and smiled, "Master, does this mean you've agreed?"
"No!"
Ling Xi looked disgusted. "You can stay if you want, but I will never take you in. Even if I starve to death, die outside, or jump off a cliff, I will never take you in."
"Snort..."
Li Sushang simply hummed softly in response and didn't say anything more. Anyway... feelings will grow over time, and she was sure she could move Ling Xi with her sincerity given enough time!
"By the way, Master, who is she?"
Only then did Li Sushang turn her gaze to the person Ling Xi was carrying in a princess carry. Judging from their clothing, it should be a woman, although the front armor seemed a little...
"Fu Hua, my family."
Ling Xi didn't explain much, since Qin Suyi hadn't told her about the Immortal Crimson Kite, so naturally she didn't want to tell her either.
"Is she... dead?"
Li Sushang looked at Fu Hua with some seriousness. Her skin was fair and her body was cold. This... was clearly a dead person.
"No!"
Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "She was just seriously injured, so she is temporarily unconscious. She will wake up after she recovers."
Actually, Ling Xi's statement isn't wrong. After all, for Fu Hua, as long as her cells aren't completely destroyed, there's no such thing as death; at most, she's in a state of dormancy. So...
Fu Hua can't be said to be dead yet; it's just that her cells haven't repaired to the point where she can be revived!
"Oh..."
Although Li Sushang still had doubts, she didn't ask any more questions. After all, there were many amazing things in the martial arts world, and this might be a mysterious skill.
"Little Li Zi, you can play by yourself for now. I'll settle Fu Hua in first."
Ling Xi casually gave Li Sushang a few instructions, then carried Fu Hua upstairs!
Afterwards, Ling Xi first placed Fu Hua on his bed, and then took out the only remaining Hibernation Pod. Although Fu Hua would be resurrected according to normal procedures, at the normal pace, it would probably take another ten years or so, so...
Ling Xi decisively decided to activate the technology, since the Hibernation Pod also has a healing function, so if Fu Hua is placed in the Hibernation Pod, it might reduce the resurrection time.
Besides, I can't just leave Fu Hua on the bed like this. After all, she'll be lying there for more than ten years. If I don't clean her up regularly, she'll probably be covered in dust in no time!
Um, how about... we put her back in the Stone Coffin?
Hmm... I think I'll pass. I wouldn't feel at ease without Fu Hua by my side. What if we run into some guys who want to steal the corpse?
Therefore, Ling Xi ultimately chose to leave Fu Hua at home. After all, with the previous deterrent, it's estimated that no one would dare to set foot on Mount Tai Xu now. He could then take out a few guys who didn't believe in the danger and wanted to cause trouble on the mountain, making Mount Tai Xu the safest place.
After all, starting today, I won't leave Mount Tai Xu unless absolutely necessary. I have no shortage of food, drink, or other necessities. In short, protecting Fu Hua and ensuring her successful awakening is my most important task right now!
Or, why not establish our own sect or something? That way, if anything happens, someone will run errands for us...
However, after thinking about it, Ling Xi decided against it. After all, if he established his own sect, he might inexplicably become the ruler of the martial arts world, which would be a serious disruption to history!
What's even more troublesome is that if you establish your own power, you'll be classified as a civilization, and then...
The Honkai's assessment of human civilization's level will directly select itself as a target, so...
Unless one stops using high-tech products after establishing their power, the Honkai will definitely happen!
Therefore, between technological products and sect power, Ling Xi decisively chose the former. After all, not having a sect power wouldn't affect her life much, but...
If we can't use our phones or computers, then for modern people... it would be worse than death!
This point has already been fully demonstrated in Yae Sakura and Yae Rin!
Oh, and there's Li Sushang too. In just two months, she seems to have become quite dependent on modern technology. Moreover, when playing MOBA games, her skills are even better than mine. It's amazing!
It's a pity this isn't modern times, otherwise... Li Sushang, the strongest top laner of the Tai Xu Team, reporting for duty!
Chapter 568: Little Li Zi, do you also want to be a rebellious disciple?
Time flies, ten years have passed, and the Immortal still hasn't awakened...
"Master, dinner's ready!"
In Ling Xi's room, a girl suddenly opened the door and rushed in, looking at Ling Xi with curiosity.
"Sushang, how many times do I have to tell you, knock before you enter my room!"
Inside the room, Ling Xi was somewhat helplessly putting away the books on the table, glaring at Li Sushang with annoyance.
"Hehe, I'll definitely do it next time!"
Li Sushang said "I'll definitely do it next time" without any sincerity, and then went straight into the room, asking curiously, "Master, why are you studying Gene Science again? Are you researching how to create humans?"
As Li Sushang spoke, she moved closer to Ling Xi, deliberately saying this...
"Get out of my way!"
Ling Xi replied to Li Sushang directly, and then said, "This is called learning without end. Even someone as capable as me still studies on my own initiative. Unlike you, you get a stomachache and an itchy butt when you study, but you recover immediately when I ask you to play games."
"Eh..."
Li Sushang scratched her cheek with her finger, then didn't answer, pretending to be stupid and acting cute, as if it were none of her business.
Ling Xi "..."
Seeing this, Ling Xi was too lazy to say anything more to her. As for herself...
Since that girl stubbornly stayed ten years ago, I've lived a life of leisure for a few months, but it's really boring after a while!
Even if single-player games, movies, and anime can help pass the time, they can still be quite boring!
So Ling Xi resumed her studies. She could slowly learn from the various paper books and e-books that the Doctor had left her, both to pass the time and to improve her abilities. After all...
In the next five hundred years, it will be impossible for me to seek help from Doctor, so I need to master some Gene Science in order to deal with possible future situations.
As for Li Sushang, although he has not taken her in yet, he has taught her all kinds of knowledge without reservation, including theoretical knowledge and combat knowledge!
This girl is also at two extremes. She has an extremely strong talent for martial arts and can learn almost anything after just one lesson. After all, Honkai Energy is essentially a kind of energy, and releasing Honkai Energy in different forms will create different moves!
Just like the various martial arts masters of this era, they are actually mostly descendants of the pioneers who possessed the Stigmata Gene. Martial arts masters are actually people who carry a portion of the Stigmata power!
Therefore, when Ling Xi was teaching Li Sushang how to fight, her perfect talent and sufficient Honkai Energy Adaptability made her a true martial arts genius!
But comparatively, this girl's academic studies...
Well, all I can say is... her strength is basically enough to go toe-to-toe with Ciliate!
Fortunately, because I taught her how to use a computer, she worked very hard to learn pinyin. So now, although she can't write a lot of characters, she can read quite a few, which is basically enough!
"Sushang, let's go eat!"
At this point, Ling Xi was too lazy to say anything more, so she got up and left the room to have lunch.
"Yes, Master."
Li Sushang happily followed, leaning close to Ling Xi and smiling, "Master, I made three dishes today: stir-fried meat, shredded potatoes, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Oh, and there's also a preserved egg and three-delicacy soup. How is it? Pretty good, right?"
"Yes, yes, Sushang is wonderful."
Ling Xi gently ruffled Li Sushang's hair. Although she could take food out of the System Space at any time, Li Sushang said that such food lacked soul, so...
Li Sushang then began to learn cooking, using the same videos she had watched before, especially those by Master Wang!
In the first few years, Ling Xi almost thought that Li Sushang wanted to murder her out of love turned to hate, because she almost died from Li Sushang's cooking. Her cooking skills were comparable to those of Doctor!
Fortunately, her skills gradually improved, so from then on, unless Ling Xi or Li Sushang suddenly wanted to eat something special, Li Sushang would basically prepare all the meals herself. As for the ingredients...
Ling Xi had most of the ingredients here; if not, Li Sushang would go down the mountain to buy them. Although it was a bit dangerous to let a ten-year-old girl go out alone, but...
Well, when Li Sushang was ten years old, Ling Xi had already given her an injection called the Intermediate Hypervariable Factor. As a result, at only ten years old, Li Sushang's Honkai Energy Adaptability exceeded 1000 HW. Combined with the skills he taught her and the [Imitation] Seven Thunders of Retribution he gave her, therefore...
When Li Sushang went down the mountain, the real danger... was for others!
By the way, it seems that Qin Suyi came to see Li Sushang not long ago and even tried her daughter's martial arts. She was beaten so badly by Li Sushang that she started to doubt her life. If it weren't for the fear of confusing the generations and the fact that she herself could no longer cultivate, she might have wanted to become Li Sushang's disciple!
"Hehe, I really hope Master will say that in bed tonight... cough cough, I really hope Master will say that tonight too..."
