That girl sat cross-legged under the Japanese Pagoda Tree, her eyes shut tightly, looking calm and at peace.
Her whole body glowed and flashed red. The girl’s skin was as white and holy as snow.
Red glow and red power. This was a unique feature of the red aura!
Even though she was just a red aura cultivator, compared to people who could not cultivate, she was way above them. Not only that, but Zihou was also only 17 years old. Her future potential was immeasurable!
“This, this, this…” Wei Guoting pointed a trembling finger at her, the skin on his old face shaking. His lips closed and opened, but for a long time, he could not say a word.
Wei Shirong and Zhao Xinrou who were standing behind Wei Guoting came to a halt and were looking extremely shocked as well.
However, they quickly reacted, their shock replaced by ecstasy and excitement.
“Good girl, you didn’t disappoint me!” Wei Guoting took a deep breath. His eyes which had never shed many tears in his life were already red and wet.
Immediately, he sighed heavily, feeling relieved.
“Hou-er, you really are something.” Wei Shirong’s firm and handsome face was full of relief. Thinking back on how their hearts had almost been broken over so many years, now, all that did not matter. Finally, God granted them a gift. This was the rainbow after the storm!
“Daughter…” Zhao Xinrou called out softly, all the words she wanted to say drowned out by her tears and turned into a whimper.
It was hard for her to speak.
All parents in this world wanted their children to become dragons and phoenixes. However, as far as they were concerned, even if their child did not have any achievement in their lives, they would still take good care of them. They would want them to live without having to worry over food or clothing, and safely as well.
It was just that they would eventually leave this world. When they were gone, who would take care of their child?
Now that their child had a unique ability, in the future, even after they passed away, she could take good care of herself. This was their true thoughts at this time.
However, emotional moments were always short-lived.
The few faces of excitement, happiness, and awe who were watching as Zihou’s red aura gradually intensified immediately disappeared the moment her aura advanced and turned green.
Behind the three people, the servants and maids stood there stupidly and were all watching their Missus as if she was a monster.
The green glow gradually deepened and became more and more intense, and Zihou’s whole body started to shake violently.
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3…
Wei Guoting’s eyes widened and his beard curled up.
Wei Shirong’s mouth dropped, big enough to fit a few eggs.
Zhao Xinrou could not even cry, the tears hung on her eyelashes and forgot to roll down her cheeks.
Level 7, Level 8, Level 9…
Unable to bear with this stress, there was a maid in the back whose eyes rolled over and she fainted out of fear.
The intense green glow surrounding Zihou swirled around her. The whims of blue smoke finally merged into a dense blue mist. The pace of the level up gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
After a long time, with his beard shaking, Wei Guoting gulped and said with a hoarse voice, “It… stopped, right?”
“Perhaps…” Wei Shirong nodded and closed his mouth slightly.
“Maybe…” Zhao Xinrou blinked and shook the tears that were stuck on her eyelashes.
Several people hesitated for a moment and prepared to walk into the courtyard.
Apparently, it turned out that some people in this world were born to scare people, and Zihou was one of them.
Before they could walk towards her, the rich green glow surrounding Zihou’s body was suddenly violent again, like a tornado, spinning dangerously. The violent wind blew up the dust and painfully scraped everyone’s faces.
In the midst of the violent vortex, the dark green glow began to change at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and a ray of a thread was upgraded to blue.
Then, the historical scene repeated.
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3…
Wei Guoting was petrified.
Wei Shirong was petrified.
Zhao Xinrou was petrified.
The weak-hearted maids and servants in the back all fainted as their eyes rolled back because of this scene that was so terrifying which exceeded the threshold they could tolerate.
Level 5, Level 6, Level 7…
Finally, the rising level stopped slowly at Level 7.
After a while, Zihou’s aura dissipated. The blue light faded away gradually and her figure became clear.
Her eyelashes trembled and her eyes opened. In an instant, the colors of the world, the Sun, the Moon, rivers, and mountains seemed to dim. Her pair of smart eyes, pure and innocent, seemed to contain everything good in the world.
One look could cleanse your mind and wash away all the dust and dirt.
In Zihou’s bright eyes, there was a vivid glow. After feeling her level rise, she was very happy. It turned out that this body was not waste material, but it had excellent qualifications for cultivation. It was just suppressed by something before. Now that the suppression had been removed, many years of accumulation had led to this horrifying leap to her current level.
As for how the suppressed object was removed, she thought it might have been the sudden eruption from yesterday.
As for the secret, she would definitely unlock it!
“Grandfather, Father, Mother.” Zihou stood up and called out towards the courtyard. She had long noticed the arrival of several people, but she was too busy in her advancement and just ignored it.
Being pulled back to their senses by Zihou’s voice, they finally recovered from their shock. Looking at Zihou dumbfoundedly, their faces were shocked and confused. It seemed that they had not fully awakened from the shock just now.
“Girl, did Grandfather see things right?” Wei Guoting took a few steps toward Zihou, his eyes twitching, looking at Zihou like she was a monster.
“Trust your eyes, Grandfather.” Zihou patted Wei Guoting’s shoulder calmly and said sincerely.
“You really reached Level 7, blue… blue aura?” Wei Guoting asked with difficulty.
Could someone tell him, when did cultivation become so simple?
“Yea.” Zihou nodded, and then frowned, her tone slightly regretful. “I thought I could reach the top level of the blue aura, but I only reached Level 7.”
Wei Guoting raised his eyebrows. Staring at Zihou like she was the enemy, he growled internally. What did you mean by only reaching Level 7? Others would cry with joy if they could just even cultivate. You were able to jump from Level 1 red aura to Level 7 blue aura, and you are still not satisfied? What about others? Do you want to scare the old me to death? Do you know that your behavior is really appalling, outrageous, heartless, and beastly…
Okay, the old man had gone crazy.
“Roar~”
With the roar of a beast, a black figure jumped out of the Japanese Pagoda Tree.
It seemed like he was dissatisfied with Wei Guoting’s eyebrows and his stare at Zihou—that expression of bitterness and hatred. The black leopard’s tail was stiff and its mouth was open, exposing its sharp teeth as it roared at Wei Guoting.
Before that, the black leopard hid in the Japanese Pagoda to protect Zihou and stayed out of sight. Now it jumped out suddenly, scaring Wei Guoting and the others.
“What’s that?” Wei Guoting stepped back, stunned.
“Xiaohei, don’t be naughty,” Zihou warned the black leopard, who instantly became a docile domestic cat. It rubbed against Zihou and then sat down on the ground obediently.
“This is a Spirit Beast.” Wei Guoting stared at the black leopard, his face slightly converging, and it was not difficult to hear the surprise in his tone.
“Hou-er, how did you get this guy back?” Wei Shirong was also surprised.
Spirit Beasts were extremely arrogant. Under normal circumstances, Spirit Beasts would not easily recognize an owner. If the Spirit Beast was forced to recognize an owner, they would rather die and refuse to submit.
“Well, it wanted to follow me, and I couldn’t do anything about it. Anyway, it just happens that I need a watchdog in my yard. It can do that!” Zihou’s indifferent attitude made it seem like her conquering the Spirit Beast was as simple as her getting a watchdog…
“Roar!” Perhaps it was dissatisfied with Zihou’s condescending tone, the black leopard roared at Zihou. Its pair of quiet green eyes were full of complaints.
Wei Guoting and the others’ mouths twitched fiercely, dark lines forming on their foreheads. In this world, there was only one family who treated a Spirit Beast like a watchdog—this one.
