Chapter 2125 - A Young Lady of a Hundred Years Old
A century-old superfull beastmaster was enough in Tianming’s opinion. After all, his lifebound beasts didn't look that impressive, even though they were actually the strongest. And as for his age, it was enough that Tianming knew the truth.
“Good! Good! Work hard on your foundations and keep up the good work.”
The two elders finally sighed in relief. When they looked at each other, Tianming saw a new light in their eyes.
“Feng’er, you can rest for today. However, starting from tomorrow, Grandma will prepare the harshest training regimen for you. You can’t slack off for even a moment. Are you afraid?” Dongshen Yue sternly said.
“Why would I be scared? A dead pig fears no scalding water,” Tianming sniggered.
Even someone as serious as Dongshen Yue chuckled.
“Old granny, how rare, you haven’t laughed in a hundred years. Grandsons really are special,” Lin Xiao said with feeling.
“Quiet!” Dongshen Yue’s expression turned stiff again. “Remember, don’t let your grandfather lead you astray and make you an idiot in the future.”
“Understood. Then what about resources?” This was what Tianming dreamed about day and night. Just Ebonia’s nova source wasn’t enough for him—he needed legacies, fortune, and caeli!
“Don’t worry about that. We can give you some private assets of ours, but the Swordgod Lin Clan’s method of distributing resources is to provide them ‘publicly’. Hence, you still have to work hard so you can get even more,” Dongshen Yue said.
“Understood! Long live Grandma!” Tianming felt good having this kind of seniors supporting him. It was much better than struggling yourself.
A few words from Tianming made Dongshen Yue break into a smile again.
“Your mouth is so slick, my grandson,” Lin Xiao sighed in amazement.
“I have to. Now that I’m back, Brokensword Peak will be filled with our family’s laughter from now on.” It would be a complete change from before. Tianming followed up by pulling over Feiling, then signaling Xiaoxiao and Moran to come over.
“Grandmother, their talent is quite good too. Can they cultivate with me?”
“Them?” Actually, Dongshen Yue had been examining them since long ago. She gave them another look and her expression turned stiff again. “Are they all your wives?”
Her tone didn’t sound very happy, but Tianming wasn’t sure why. He simply laughed, “No, Ling’er is my wife, but the others are my… friends.”
Xiaoxiao and Moran had already been misunderstood as his wives several times. Tianming looked behind and saw Xiaoxiao glaring at him, so he could only say they were friends.
“Friends?” Dongshen Yue said, still slightly doubtful. They didn’t seem like normal friends!
“Granny, I’m his servant,” Xiaoxiao said.
“Me too…” Moran said with her head lowered.
They had to have an identity if they were to continue staying here. Hence, Xiaoxiao had been very straightforward. ‘Friends’ didn’t sound that close, but if they were servants, they would be a part of the family, which would make it easier for Tianming to give them things.
“Servants?” Dongshen Yue frowned. She looked at all of them before her gaze settled on Feiling. She dully said, “She’s a fine lady. Such looks are rare even on Ebonia.” It was normal for her to be wary when her grandson already had a wife and two servants, all of whom were xenoraces.
“What’s your name, young lady? You managed to become a stellaminor, which is slightly higher than Feng’er.” Dongshen Yue considered Feiling.
“Grandmother, my name is Jiang Feiling.” Feiling had experienced many grand occasions, but she was still anxious now. The hand she had hidden in her sleeve kept pinching Tianming.
Tianming wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Grandmother, Ling’er’s been through life and death with me. In the future, she and I will be properly filial to you.”
“Alright.” Dongshen Yue grit her teeth and seemed to let go of something.
“Miss Ling’er, let me see your lifebound beast. I’ll make a cultivation plan for you as well. Since you chose Feng’er, you’ll have to suffer together with him in the future. Grandmother may be a little harsh sometimes, but it’s all for your own good, alright?” Dongshen Yue said.
“I understand, Grandmother.” Feiling wasn’t afraid of suffering. She didn’t have a lifebound beast, so she flew up and revealed her Kunlan Worldwings, which instantly filled the world with color. After becoming a stellaminor, Feiling’s combat power could leap across four levels. And if she used Perpetia City, even fighting a fifth-level stellaminor shouldn’t be a problem.
“A primalwinger? That’s rare. Try to attack me.” Dongshen Yue’s eyes shone again.
For the sake of obtaining Grandmother’s acknowledgment, Feiling didn’t hold back! Her wings transformed into the Sapphire Skywings while a blue crystal spear appeared in her hand, turning her into a blue war goddess.
Her beauty made Dongshen Yue take another look. She had seen many people at her age and she had also once been a beauty. This girl’s beauty is like a disaster. She’s on par with that Bitch Yi! Mu’er, Feng’er, how did you father and son both meet such beauties?
Feiling’s spear was already stabbing at Dongshen Yue, who extended a finger and shattered the blue spear, causing fragments of blue to spread out and envelop the area in a sea of blue.
“The power of space? This girl isn’t simple….” Dongshen Yue’s expression changed.
“I offended you, Grandmother.” Feiling immediately returned to Tianming’s side. She acted even more docile as she knew Dongshen Yue would be wary of her. She acted every bit the docile young wife, the complete opposite of Dongshen Yue around Lin Xiao.
Of course, grandmothers and mothers being wary of their daughters- and granddaughters-in-law was a time-honored tradition, especially now when no one knew anyone.
“Not bad at all. Are you from Feng’er’s world, too?” Dongshen Yue asked.
“Yes.” Tianming nodded for her.
“I see. We’ll all be one family from now on,” Dongshen Yue said. She could tell that Tianming doted on this young lady a lot.
“Then what about the two behind?”
“Xiaoxiao, Little Fish, show Grandmother what you can do. Do your best, there’ll be benefits.” Tianming winked at them.
They came over with some uneasiness.
“One is almost a stellaminor while the other is still very far off.” Xiaoxiao and Moran’s levels were very far apart.
“Grandmother, I’m a beastmaster and this is my lifebound beast.” Xiaoxiao directly summoned Wu You and had it show a few of its abilities.
“You may only have one lifebound beast, but it’s quite… fierce. I have manna that can let it become a ten thousand star beast,” Dongshen Yue said. She wasn’t as on guard against a servant.
“Thank you, Grandmother!” Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected to receive benefits as soon as she arrived. As expected, choosing to call herself a servant was the best option. She didn’t need to serve Tianming, but there were still benefits. Why wouldn’t she do it?”
“What about this... Little Fish?” Dongshen Yue looked at Moran and thought, “Another pretty lass. Feng’er really has a lot of luck in the love department!”
“Grandmother, she’s the one that’ll give you the biggest surprise. She may be a constellier, but she’s a divine wonder genius!” Tianming said.
“I looked forward to finding out,” Dongshen Yue said.
Moran grit her teeth and summoned her wonder. The Infinitum Swordsea’s nova source was simply too explosive, allowing her to easily absorb large amounts of it The skyway masterbrush wonder and sacredway tome wonder manifested in the air.
“These wonders!” Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue were both shocked. “A constellier’s wonders are as strong as a stellaminor? No, it’s not even fully activated. If there was more nova source, it’d even be stronger! It may even be as strong as a seventh-level stellaminor! It can take on the fourth or fifth level even now.… How can she do this? This… is a miracle?”
As Tianming had expected, Moran was the most shocking of their group. The two elders couldn’t calm down and spent a long time examining her wonders.
“How do you do it?” Dongshen Yue grabbed Moran’s hand and asked.
“I don’t know. It wasn’t very hard and was much easier than cultivating,” Moran lowered her head. She wasn’t used to lying and her face quickly became red.
“Really?” The two elders were confused.
“Is there really such a strange freak? And she’s our grandson’s servant?” the old man wondered.
“Cultivating is hard? She’s just a constellier! That’s the easy part of cultivation. If we temper her well, her cultivation level will quickly catch up.” Dongshen Yue was shocked.
“With her divine wonder talent, she’ll be a great help to Feng’er!”
The two happily looked at each other.
“This kid’s romantic luck isn’t bad. What servant? No one would willingly follow him into danger if their heart wasn’t set.” The two elders looked at each other knowingly. “Miss Little Fish, leave it to us. We guarantee you’ll eventually have a cultivation level worthy of your divine wonders,” Dongshen Yue said.
“A miracle! A young lady of a hundred years old, but her wonder is like those that belong to those old freaks that’re two or three thousand years old. And it’s even a pair! All that and she’s not even a wonderian.” Lin Xiao sighed in praise.
“Grandfather, what do you mean? What young lady is a hundred years old?” Tianming asked with a laugh.
