Chapter 1254 - Ultimate Goal
Chapter 1254: Ultimate Goal
But Chen Xiaobei did not come ahead of time!
Lin Xiang thought that today was yesterday. Her memory of today, like Chen Xiaobei said, was completely wiped clean!
The three other people watching could not believe their eyes.
“Brother-in-law! You are freaking amazing!” Lin Nan cheered.
Lin Chaoying and Wei Shenjing found themselves speechless. The permanant brainwashing Hu Bawan had boasted about was remedied just like that. Chen Xiaobei had done it with such ease, it was almost unreal!
“Huh? Where’s everyone else?”
Lin Xiang blinked, searching her surroundings until he saw the others.
“Sister! You’re awake! That’s great!”
Lin Nan practically wrestled her into a bear hug. The tears that were on the verge of falling, now came out pouring with teary sniffles.
“What happened to you? You’re a grown up already, but you’re still sniffling. I’ve become stronger now. I can protect you! I’ll beat up whoever bullies you!”
Lin Xiang rubbed Lin Nan’s head lovingly.
“Sis, you’re the best!”
When he knew that he was about to lose his sister, Lin Nan felt like the world had come to an end; but now that she was restored, Lin Nan was so happy he could not help but cry tears of joy.
“Huh? Shimei Wei, what happened?”
Lin Xiang looked at Wei Shengjing with curious eyes.
“She had an accident! She fell down while she was walking!” Chen Xiaobei quickly said.
He was worried that if he told her the truth, she might feel responsible for what had happened, and could not continue cultivating in peace.
Besides, Wei Shenjing was tricked into it. There was no need to punish her mistake with a death penalty. The beatings she received were more than enough. Not revealing that part of the truth meant that Chen Xiaobei had spared Wei Shenjing’s life.
“Oh, you are still the same! I’m not even sure if you are telling me truth!” Lin Xiang smiled.
“How could a fall cause her face to swell and bruise like that? She even threw up blood! Even if you don’t tell me, I know that Shimei Wei got in a fight with someone and lost. Am I right?”
“Your guess is correct!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.
Just like that, the truth was covered up.
The others understood Chen Xiaobei’s intention and did not bring it up anymore.
After that, Lin Xiang, the half-owner of Tidal Faction brought Chen Xaiobei and Lin Nan to tour the island.
As they admired the gorgeous seascape, Lin Xiang brought them up to speed on her experience on the island so that they would not worry about her.
There had been no incident all throughout Lin Xiang’s stay in Tidal Faction. Most of her time was spent on cultivating. Chen Xiaobei and Lin Nan’s heart were put at ease when they heard that.
Lin Xiang even made a call to Professor Lin to tell him that she was safe.
“How long do you plan to stay here? I will instruct my subordinates to prepare the guest room!” Lin Xiang asked.
Chen Xiaobei replied, “There are still a lot of things I have to tend to. Also, my friend is waiting for me at the port. Since, you’re fine here, I might leave in a short while.”
“What’s the rush?” Lin Xiang frowned, disappointed.
“Why? You don’t want me to leave?” Chen Xiaobei grinned.
“Ahem! Since, you haven’t seen each other in a while, the third wheel will leave.” Lin Xiang quickened his pace to leave the two alone. As he was walking, he called out, “Sis! I will be staying here for a few days! When you and brother-in-law are done being intimate, don’t forget set up the room for me!”
Lin Xiang blushed.
“You cheeky little thing! How can you talk to your sister like that?” she shouted back.
But Lin Nan had walked too far away to hear her.
“Come, let me hug you. Your body looks much better than before!” Chen Xiaobei had been aching for her all day.
“No!” Lin Xiang placed a hand on Chen Xiaobei’s chest to keep him from advancing. “Here in Tidal Faction, we have to practice abstinence in order to get better results during cultivation.”
“Aw, I just want to hug you, not have sex! Don’t tell me hugging will ruin your celibacy?”
“I’m afraid that you won’t be able to control yourself.” Lin Xiang chewed on her lower lip.
“I…” Chen Xiaobei was stumped.
He had wanted to prove himself but when he saw Lin Xiang’s face and that beddable body of hers, Chen Xiaobei could not deny that he might not be able to hold himself back.
Only an eunuch could resist this sentient woman with a beguiling face, not to mention sultry curves!
“You must set a target for yourself, right? If you continue to train like this, I will never be able to be intimate with you anymore.”
“I do have one,” Lin Xiang replied, “My goal is to reach Celestial Cultivation! After that, I will leave Tidal Faction to be with you forever!”
“That’s going to take a very long time! If I’m not mistaken, you are only at the later phase of the Qi refining stage. Why must it be Celestial Cultivation? Isn’t True Nirvana good enough?”
“That’s because Big Bro Xiang Yu is also at Celestial Cultivation! I want to be like him so that I can help you! I don’t want to be weak and be a helpless burden forever! That’s why my ultimate goal is to have strength like Xiang Yu!” Lin Xiang said with determination.
“…”
Chen Xiaobei’s brows furrowed.
In reality, Xiang Yu’s Celestial Cultivation of 70,000 combat power was not much help to Chen Xiaobei anymore. But Chen Xiaobei did not want to dampen her enthusiasm so he nodded. “Alright, since you have a goal in mind, I will support you!”
“Will you, really? You might need to wait for a long time. Sjijie said that major cultivation breakthroughs normally take about a decade. It might even take several decades!”
“It won’t take too long. Here, this is for you!” Chen Xiaobei took out the remaining Skybreaking Cultivation Pull from his Infinite Space Ring. “When you reach the pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage, break a small piece from it. After you’ve taken it, you’ll be able to break through to True Kang cultivation immediately! Then, when you reach the pinnacle phase of True Kang cultivation, take half and you’ll be able to break through to Celestial cultivation!”
“How is that possible?” Lin Xiang asked, sceptical. “My Shijie took 13 years to break through to Celestial Cultivation!”
“Trust me! It won’t even take 13 seconds for you to break through!” Chen Xiaobei said in a serious manner.
“Alright.”
Lin Xiang nodded. Chen Xiaobei would never try to harm her. When she reached an impasse in cultivation, she would give Chen Xiaobei’s pills a try. No harm in that.
The pair chatted for a while, but because Lin Xiang’s priority was to focus on her training, she did not keep Chen Xiaobei for long.
Before he left, Lin Chaoyin sent for him.
He did not have to ask her to know that she wanted to talk about Hu Bawan!
