I'll Protect Master's Copper Needles! / I Thought You Were My Master, but You Want to Be My Dad?

Besides, once I also obtain the top-tier Hypervariable Factor given by my master, I will be able to become almost Eternal Life like my master. At that time... hehe!

Li Sushang continued to quietly press against the door, intending to continue eavesdropping, because she always felt that the relationship between the two was... a little unusual!

"By the way, Ling Xi, Li Sushang, she..."

Inside the room, Fu Hua suddenly looked at Ling Xi seriously and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Li Sushang: "!?"

Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about me?

Immediately, Li Sushang's breathing quickened, but she also listened even more attentively...

"How should we handle this?"

Ling Xi looked at Fu Hua with some curiosity and asked, "Hua, what aspect are you referring to?"

"Her future!"

Fu Hua never liked to keep people in suspense, so she spoke frankly, "Li Sushang has good talent, but she is ultimately just a mortal, and her lifespan is only a little over a hundred years, so... I want to ask you, do you plan to spend these hundred years with Li Sushang, or... like Cangxuan Danzhu Zhu?"

If Li Sushang were just an ordinary person or a regular disciple, Fu Hua naturally wouldn't ask any questions, but...

Now that Li Sushang is not only her half-disciple, but also Ling Xi's wife, she has no choice but to inquire about it!

"Heh, don't worry, I've already thought about this issue."

Ling Xi smiled slightly, appearing very calm. After all, she had already been considering Li Sushang's matter when she woke up. It could be said that she had already made clear arrangements for this girl even before she was born.

Ling Xi slowly said, "I told Li Sushang before that if she becomes stronger, I can give her a top-tier Hypervariable Factor, so that she can be like us."

"Top-tier Hypervariable Factor?"

Hearing this, Fu Hua was also taken aback and asked, "Ling Xi, are you serious? You need to know that top-tier Hypervariable Factor are..."

"Of course I was lying to her. I never intended to use the top-tier Hypervariable Factor on her."

Ling Xi decisively denied it, after all, she didn't particularly want to give Li Sushang the top-level Hypervariable Factor in the first place!

Li Sushang: "???"

Suddenly, Li Sushang seemed a little... conflicted. Could it be... that Ling Xi had been deceiving her all along?

But... Ling Xi's concern for me over the years doesn't seem fake at all, does it?

She immediately had the urge to go in and verify with Ling Xi, but in the end she held back...

"Fine..."

Upon hearing Ling Xi's answer, Fu Hua nodded and said, "After all, the success rate of injecting top-tier Hypervariable Factor is too low. I'm really afraid that you might rashly give her that kind of thing in order to be with her long-term!"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid!"

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "That girl is my apprentice, and also my wife. How could I harm her for a moment of selfishness? So my plan is to let her use the Hibernation Pod. That's the safest way."

Li Sushang: "..." Master, can you please finish what you're saying all at once...?

However, after hearing Ling Xi's explanation, the slight doubt that had just appeared in Li Sushang's heart completely disappeared. Sure enough, Ling Xi was still so good to her!

Although I sometimes bully myself.

"Really..."

Fu Hua nodded. "Now we'll use the Hibernation Pod to send her to the future. Once the future Doctor wakes up, he'll definitely find a way to change her constitution. Then we can use the Hypervariable Factor, and we'll definitely succeed."

"Yes!"

Ling Xi stretched and laughed, "Although I also want that girl to stay with me all the time, since it's really boring to be alone, I would be so comfortable with her by my side, but... the top-level Hypervariable Factor is too dangerous for her, so it's best for her to use Hibernation Pod to ensure that she can reach the future!"

Upon hearing this, Li Sushang's heart trembled slightly. She realized that she was still too weak.

She was Ling Xi's wife, but she was unable to fulfill this responsibility.

It seems I still need to work hard to cultivate and strive to reach a level where I can withstand the power of top-tier Hypervariable Factor as soon as possible. If I still can't do it in the end... well, then I can only listen to my master and go into hibernation.

"It doesn't matter!"

Fu Hua also spoke up, saying, "Letting Li Sushang go into hibernation is the best option. As for the future... Ling Xi, you won't be alone, after all... didn't you say you would spend the future with me?"

"Heh, that's true, after all..."

Ling Xi smiled and looked at Fu Hua, "From now on, we'll have to rely on each other for survival, Immortal Crimson Kite."

Ling Xi didn't know if Fu Hua was hinting at something, but...

Regardless of Fu Hua was hinting or not, this girl was determined to be with him. After all, there were at least five hundred years between here and the future, and in those five hundred years...

To put it simply, it took me three years to win over the Doctor, Elysia, Sakura, Seele, Klein, Aponia, and Eden!

Having dealt with Cangxuan Danzhu, uh...

If we consider the prerequisites, it will take at most three and a half years!

It took me about three and a half years to win over the "crying sisters"!

In other words, because Little Li Zi was developed through training, it took a little longer, a full ten years!

So, five hundred years...

I'm not bragging, but I could handle not just one Immortal, but five Immortal!

After all, having experienced so many things in the Previous Era, plus the encounter over four thousand years ago, and now this reunion, how could Ling Xi not see that Fu Hua had intentions?

"Um..."

Fu Hua smiled and stroked his chin with one hand, adding, "I will pass on the Tai Xu Sword Qi to Li Sushang as soon as possible so that she can enter a period of dormancy. After all, if she can enter a period of dormancy sooner, then we can also... well... anyway, let's leave it at that for now."

"Okay, I agree!"

Ling Xi had no objection to this.

Li Sushang: "..."

Damn, I knew it! No wonder Ancestor Chiyuan was so eager to put himself into hibernation, but...

Damn it, Ancestor Chiyuan, you wicked old immortal! You tricked me into going into hibernation, so that for the next five hundred years, my master would belong to you alone. When I wake up in five hundred years, my master might not even remember me, and...

Who knows how many women Master has had in the past few hundred years?

Thinking of this, Li Sushang suddenly didn't want to go into hibernation anymore. No, no, she... had to cultivate diligently. Only by obtaining the top-tier Hypervariable Factor could she avoid going into hibernation!

Thus, Li Sushang's fighting spirit was rekindled; she would never give up.

Chapter 581: I will protect my master's copper needles!

In the afternoon, Ling Xi, Fu Hua, and Li Sushang went to the hidden chamber at the foot of the mountain and successfully found the little ancestor who had now turned into a Tai Chi ball.

However, after Ling Xi took it home and conducted a preliminary test, she discovered that the little ancestor's equipment had developed numerous malfunctions!

As a non-professional, Ling Xi obviously couldn't fix these malfunctions either. After all, the little ancestor was made by Cangxuan using materials from the hidden base, and those materials had been stored for 50,000 years. It was already quite good that it could be made into a fully functional Armed Doll.

What? Why Klein alright? That's because of the Little Klein Puppet in the base. Her body is basically made of Soul Steel, so as long as there is energy, she can theoretically run indefinitely. That's why Little Klein has been working continuously for over 50,000 years without any problems!

The Book of Cangxuan is different. There is no Soul Steel in the hidden base, so the little ancestor is just an ordinary Armed Doll. It is already considered to be operating beyond its capacity for more than three thousand years. In addition, it was shut down for more than seven hundred years, so the materials on the little ancestor are now showing signs of aging.

In short, the current situation is that Ling Xi can restart the little ancestor with all sorts of malfunctions, but this will definitely cause her even greater damage. It's possible... before the Doctor and the others wake up, the little ancestor will already be destroyed due to the malfunctions. So...

"Magnificent!"

Ling Xi took out the energy core used for the Armed Doll and said to Fu Hua, "That's roughly the situation, so it's up to you whether to awaken the Book of Cangxuan."

Ling Xi decisively gave the choice to Fu Hua, after all, the Book of Cangxuan was the most important thing for Fu Hua!

But to be honest, Ling Xi felt there was really no need to wake up the little ancestor now, after all, Fu Hua wasn't alone!

Moreover, the little ancestor's current situation is not optimistic. After all, it was originally created by Cangxuan using the materials available at the time, and Cangxuan probably didn't expect it to last this long. There was no way around it; after all, both Cangxuan and he thought that they would only be resurrected for a few hundred or a thousand years at most, and wouldn't make Fu Hua wait too long. But...

Who the hell knew that I would wake up in the Yae Sakura era, more than 4,200 years later.

"Then there's no need to wake her up."

After thinking for a moment, Fu Hua decided not to wake up the little ancestor for the time being, because it was really unnecessary!

After all, with Li Sushang and Ling Xi taking care of and accompanying him now, awakening the Book of Cangxuan wouldn't be very meaningful.

Moreover... if the Book of Cangxuan is preserved until the time when the Doctor and the others awaken in the future, then with the Doctor's... no, even with the abilities of Cangxuan and Danzhu, they can complete the repair work on the Book of Cangxuan, and the Book of Cangxuan will still exist then!

If it is awakened now, it might really become unusable as Ling Xi described. And once the core of the puppet is damaged, the Book of Cangxuan will be completely lost.

Therefore, Fu Hua ultimately chose to temporarily preserve the Book of Cangxuan, and awaken it together in the future.

"Heh, I think so too."

Ling Xi smiled and then with a wave of his right hand, he directly put the Book of Cangxuan and the energy core into the System Space. Time would be frozen inside, which was the best way to preserve the Book of Cangxuan.

"Hmm, what a pity, I didn't see the Book of Cangxuan."

Li Sushang felt a little regretful. After all, in the legends of the Shenzhou Immortal, there was always a little follower by the immortal's side, and she only found out today that this was actually Armed Doll made with technology.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely have a chance to see it!"

Ling Xi smiled and looked at Li Sushang, "Although Armed Doll are considered cutting-edge technology, the threshold is not high. You will definitely see them when you reach the future."

"Yes, that's right!"

Fu Hua nodded slightly and smiled, "Sushang, I will teach you the Tai Xu Sword Qi Heart Method soon. I hope you can master it as soon as possible so that you can enter hibernation sooner."

Li Sushang: "..." Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking...

Isn't he just trying to take advantage of his master while he's in hibernation?

No, Master's chastity must be taken by me... cough cough, it must be protected by me!

The next day, Fu Hua taught Li Sushang the Tai Xu Sword Qi cultivation method.

Although Fu Hua didn't want to teach anyone else after the incident with the seven disciples, Li Sushang was Ling Xi's disciple, and she might have to call her "little sister" in the future, and besides...

In addition, considering the relationship between Li Sushang and Qin Suyi, Fu Hua was still willing to teach her!

And this girl was just as Ling Xi had said, her talent was exceptional. She mastered the basics in less than half a day and even began to develop Sword Heart!

The so-called Sword Heart, to put it simply, is a form of Honkai Energy, an energy that can be manipulated at will, and is essentially the foundation of all Tai Xu Sword Qi!

As for the Tai Xu Sword God, it is the ultimate killing technique in Tai Xu Sword Qi. Among the seven disciples, only Cheng Lingshuang has fully comprehended this move!

Honestly, if Cheng Lingshuang hadn't mastered that one move, the Seventh Disciple probably wouldn't have succeeded. After all, ordinary attacks simply couldn't break through Immortal Fu Hua's defenses. Even if a sword were thrust towards the Immortal's chest, it would still...

Duang! Failed to penetrate the opponent's armor!

At the same time, Ling Xi was also learning the Tai Xu Sword Qi from Fu Hua, because Ling Xi had also discovered her own problem: although the Honkai Energy was powerful, and she could use many techniques thanks to the Stigmata Gene, but...

However, they lacked truly unique abilities of their own. The Tai Xu Sword Qi, in reality, was a technique that allowed for more perfect control over Honkai Energy, therefore...

Ling Xi also planned to learn it, after all, the power of this move was undeniable!

Cheng Lingshuang, with her 1000HW Honkai Energy, could kill Fu Hua with her Tai Xu Sword Qi. When the future Immortal faced the six-core Sirin, he used Tai Xu Sword God to completely shut down the communication between the Honkai God and the pufferfish. If it weren't for Otto's treacherous act of going to see the Honkai God, the Second Honkai War would have ended long ago.

In the subsequent main storyline, under the tutelage of the Immortal, the Ciliate defeated the Shi Bao with a single move of Tai Xu Sword Qi!

The most crucial move is the ultimate technique of the Tai Xu Sword Qi, the Tai Xu Sword God. It's a move that locks onto the target with both physical and mental attacks. Once it hits, there's no way to stop it. That's why Fu Hua was killed by Cheng Lingshuang. This move...

Even Herrscher couldn't withstand it!

So, who wouldn't want to learn such an invincible move?

Furthermore, because Fu Hua's Sword Heart was shattered, she needed to start from scratch. However, for her, this was equivalent to rereading elementary school at a master's level, which presented almost no difficulty. It's estimated that...

In just a few months, Fu Hua will be back to her peak level!

And so, the three of them— Ancestor Chiyuan, Master Ling Xi, and disciple Sushang —began their cultivation journey of the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

During this time, Ling Xi vaguely sensed something: Sushang seemed to be somewhat hostile towards Fu Hua.

Ugh... my head hurts!

Chapter 582: I treated you as my master, but you want to be my father?

Two months later...

Li Sushang has fully grasped the basics of Sword Heart, successfully condensed her Sword Heart, and has begun to cultivate the basic moves of the Tai Xu Sword Qi!
