Chapter 59: with translation of chapter title

No matter how many times he looked, Zhou Shuo could not help but admit that Xia He's charm was immense; every part of her provoked a surge of kidney qi and improper desires. Fortunately, he had now cultivated the convergence of the five phases, with the five qi settled within his body; as long as he did not entertain deviant thoughts, the kidney qi would not descend, so he no longer feared her.

Hmm, what are you looking at? Xia He gazed at Hu Lin, who had beaten his own biological son for her sake; the corner of her eye caught the gaze of the onlooker beside her, her eyes shimmering like water, her pink lips slightly curled, she let out a soft hum as if asking.

No, nothing. Zhou Shuo had just set a flag for himself in his heart; looking at Xia He's shimmering gaze and her slightly curled pink lips, he unconsciously wondered what it would feel like if that thing wrapped himself; a lovely thought arose, and his kidney qi immediately became somewhat uncontrollable.

Father, I beg you.

I'll beat you to death, you little brat! How many times have I told you? I told you, Xia He is mine……

You'd better stop this old man from hitting him. Zhou Shuo sat upright, eyes proper, dispelled the wicked thoughts in his mind, halted the kidney fluid about to descend, and then spoke.

Alright, stop arguing. Xia He looked at the guy who quickly collected his thoughts and dispelled wicked notions, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, then drew her long legs back, placed her feet on the sofa, rested her chin on her knees, and spoke to Hu Lin, who was beating Hu Jie.

Xia He…… Hu Lin turned his head, gazing at the woman with legs drawn up, her chin resting on her knees; the anger on his face instantly faded, replaced by deep infatuation and a hint of inquiry.

I don't recall saying that I'm your woman? Xia He looked at the old man inquiring of her, her gaze slightly lowered, a few strands of hair falling on her forehead.

Xia He, Xia He, sorry, I, I didn't mean it, sorry, for you I could do anything, even die. Hu Lin looked at the gaze with hair falling from his forehead, instantly feeling as if he had committed a great crime, hurriedly kneeling before the sofa, urgently defending himself.

When you went to greet guests just now, who came? Xia He ignored Hu Lin's explanation and asked.

It's Zhang Lingyu from the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Hu Lin answered any question; Zhou Shuo lifted his gaze, looking toward Hu Jie slowly crawling up from the ground nearby, and the silhouette of someone walking in from outside behind Hu Jie.

In that case, Hu Jie's eligibility to compete has been set! Xia He likewise gazed at Hu Jie; the people from the Heavenly Master's Mansion must have delivered the invitation, confirming the invitation to the Luotian Grand Rite, and Hu Jie has obtained the qualification to participate.

Go, go take down the Heavenly Master's successor's qualification, for me. Under Xia He's gaze, Hu Jie had already risen halfway; upon hearing her command, he immediately agreed without a word.

Okay, I will……, but there are many masters like clouds, I…… Hu Jie looked at the beauty, about to agree without thinking, but before he could finish speaking, his face stiffened involuntarily; he wasn't afraid to attend the gathering, just afraid of failing to fulfill her request.

Oh dear, nothing to fear, isn't Shen Chong here too! A hand placed on his shoulder let Hu Jie lift his head, looking at the man approaching from behind, tall and jade-like, with black disheveled hair, wearing glasses on his refined nose bridge, a gray shirt with a black tie.

Xia He can help you make up your mind; Shen Chong can help you gain the strength needed to achieve your goal. The man smiled warmly, giving a feeling like a spring breeze.

Shen Chong, how did you come here? Zhou Shuo looked at the man who had made a deal with Hu Jie, unconsciously narrowing his eyes; Complete Nature is lodging here, aside from being hidden, it also seems to intend to intervene in the Luotian Grand Rite; well, given the villain-existence setting, such a big event indeed warrants joining the fun, but why are they doing this? Although Complete Nature are all lunatics, their actions usually aren't baseless.

Xia He, little Zhou, come with me for a moment; I have some things to say to you. Shen Chong, who gave a spring-breeze feeling, stood up straight, gesturing to the two seated on the sofa; Zhou Shuo looked at this man, rose from the sofa, and Xia He also rose at the same time.

Xia He, Xia He. Hu Jie looked at the woman standing up, his face involuntarily flushed pink; he thought he could participate in the Luotian Grand Rite for her sake, he would surely win, and if he won, she would fall in love with him.

I told you, don't keep pestering Xia He. Hu Lin looked at his son, whose face was dreamily gazing at the woman, and his face flushed with anger.

Indeed…… Zhou Shuo looked at the father and son, clearly related, but now arguing like rivals; he felt a bit off, at first he could treat it as novel, but after watching longer, he felt chills run down his spine; this is the ability of the Bone-Scraping Blade among the Four Madmen, enough to make a father who dotes on his spoiled son beat him, and let a spoiled son resolve to strive; where is Xia He's ability limit, and how terrifying are the Four Madmen?

Alright, alright, you two fathers and sons really are something; stop the fuss, come back and I'll reward you!

Watching the arguing father and son, Xia He slightly leaned forward to comfort them; in an instant, the quarreling father and son, whose cheeks were flushed red, had their hormone release intensify tenfold; even Zhou Shuo could hear a pfft sound coming from beneath Hu Jie.

Let's go! Zhou Shuo heard Hu Jie's aberrant thoughts, associated with something, instantly feeling unable to stay; he feared that if he stayed longer, he would strike the other down with a single palm.

Hehe! Shen Chong looked at Hu Jie, whose face was pink and nostrils lightly panting; thinking about signing a contract with this guy, his smile involuntarily became a bit stiff, but thinking about the qi he could soon harvest, his mood eased again; he converged with Zhou Shuo and the risen Xia He and left.

On the long corridor, there wasn't much talk; Zhou Shuo and Xia He walked together behind, Shen Chong slightly ahead leading the way; upon seeing the silent Zhou Shuo, he slightly slowed his pace, walking side by side, smiling as he spoke to Xia He.

You say you're not nasty, but after you let us leave, how will this father and son get by?

If it weren't for me, where would we people have a safe foothold? Xia He paid no heed to Shen Chong's words.

To be honest, what I'm more concerned about is, after we no longer need this foothold, what will become of that father and son? This doesn't seem like the reason we were called out to talk! Zhou Shuo glanced at the two who were changing the subject, his eyes slightly askew; Shen Chong's current behavior seems not to be about summoning him and Xia He to talk.

Hehe, it's Lu Liang's side; he's already finished; moreover, the acting sect leader has also arrived; you've joined Complete Nature, so you must go meet him. Shen Chong pushed up his glasses, smiling, skipping over the Hu family father-and-son issue.

Acting sect leader? Zhou Shuo was momentarily stunned; Complete Nature has no rules, its members are a mixed bag; to become Complete Nature's sect leader, one must obtain the consent of all members, which is harder than ascending to heaven; thus the Complete Nature sect leader's seat has long been vacant, but now there happens to be an acting sect leader, who, by his own methods, gained the consent of the elder members of Complete Nature and also holds two opportunities to issue orders to all members; Lu Liang had said this before, but he didn't expect that he could actually see the acting sect leader here, the Luotian Grand Rite, it's quite a coincidence.

Yeah! Do you feel fortunate? Shen Chong smiled.

No, I just don't know what matters the acting sect leader will bring this time; and what benefit or harm it might have for me? Zhou Shuo glanced askance, looking toward Xia He beside him.

Benefits? As long as there's no trouble, we should thank heaven and earth; moreover, any benefits promised by that sect leader, if unfulfilled, only increase his amusement. Xia He smiled.

Being a sect leader like this is really stifling. Zhou Shuo curled his lips; Xia He's statement is no lie, not to mention the acting sect leader, even the sect leader might not be able to suppress those lunatics of Complete Nature; if the two orders in the acting sect leader's hands are misused, he could be killed at any moment.

We've arrived. Shen Chong smiled, gave a reminder, then led the way turning into a side corridor, opening the door at the end of the corridor.

In the slightly dim room, Lu Liang had already changed out of his original clothes, wearing a large basketball jersey, holding a mass of golden light in his hands, pulling a golden thread from it with both hands, then discarding the separated golden light mass; beside him stood a person, seeing whom Zhou Shuo couldn't help but be a little startled.

One who could sit as the acting sect leader of Complete Nature might be imagined as white-haired and venerable, dignified appearance, peerless beauty, extraordinarily ugly, congenitally deformed; Zhou Shuo had imagined all sorts, but upon seeing the other party, he was still somewhat surprised; the other was a youth, about the same age as Lu Liang.

Hey, you're that newcomer, hello, I'm your acting sect leader; I suppose they've already told you about me! The boy with some freckles and slanted eyes greeted with a hehe.

Somewhat unexpected. Zhou Shuo sincerely expressed his surprise; does this count as a hero emerging from youth?

Haha, then I should be proud! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Gong Qing. The acting sect leader laughed heartily, then introduced himself.

Zhou Shuo. Zhou Shuo also nodded and gave his name.

Presented. Just as Zhou Shuo and acting sect leader Gong Qing exchanged names, Lu Liang, beside them, after separating a mass of golden light, held up a bean-sized golden mass and announced.

Success, Lu Liang, you're truly remarkable; even after seeing it many times, I can't help but praise. Acting sect leader Gong Qing gazed at the bean-sized golden light in Lu Liang's hand, his face showing expectation and envy, like a boy looking at a figurine in a toy shop; seeing this, Zhou Shuo raised his eyebrows; although this boy looks pure, his purity comes from within, but being able to rise to acting sect leader in Complete Nature proves he's also a lunatic, just unknown where his madness lies.

My ability is innate, can't be passed to you; however, I've extracted Zhang Xilin's memory, though there's not much left, I'll first take a look! Lu Liang looked at the anticipative, envious Gong Qing, defended himself a bit, then closed his eyes, placing the bean-sized golden light on his fingertip, bringing it to his forehead.
