Even Bodhisattva Hunyuan had the urge to spit blood!
This was thousand-year spirit meat, for crying out loud!
Liu Li and Ling Shu, those two women, in a fit of pique, let someone else have it?
He rubbed his chest vigorously, trying not to explode with anger.
Bodhisattva Liu Li listened to the Sky-Devouring Tiger chomping away at the spirit meat.
It ate while expressing gratitude to the heavens.
Her small fists clenched tightly.
She felt a pang of pain as she thought, "Just consider it feeding a dog!"
Bodhisattva Ling Shu felt incredibly distressed.
She hadn’t even tasted the thousand-year spirit meat before.
But in Liu Li’s eyes, it was trash.
This comparison drove her nearly crazy.
It also felt wrong to her.
In the past, she always had the upper hand during their confrontations, so why was she losing today?
She cast her gaze upon Jiang Fan.
There was a slight dissatisfaction in her eyes.
This damn man, he was quite good at charming people!
She rolled her eyes and said, "Liu Li, you haven’t properly introduced your fiancé yet."
"We only know he played a minor role in the battle at Boundary Mountain."
"Besides that, it seems like we haven’t heard much about his achievements."
Ling Shu was shifting her focus directly onto Jiang Fan.
She intended to belittle Jiang Fan to embarrass Liu Li.
Liu Li felt a bit worried.
Because no matter how skilled Jiang Fan was at Sword Flight, he was still a human disciple at the Second Level of Core Formation.
Had it not been for their secret engagement,
and the Demon Emperor needing him to maintain his reputation,
he wouldn’t have been important at all.
While she was unsure what to do,
Jiang Fan smiled gently and said, "Greetings to Miss Ling Shu."
"I am Jiang Fan. Allow me to introduce myself."
"I am the Prince Consort of the Demon Race, specially honored by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Green Cloud Sect Master is my master. Desires Sect Master and Spirit Beast Sect Master are my friends."
"Xia Chaoge, the top prodigy of the Nine-Sect, is a close friend of mine."
"Xu Qingyang, the top expert of the Nine-Sect, is my guide in the Sword Dao."
"The two Vice Pavilion Masters of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion are vying to take me as their disciple."
"In the battle at Boundary Mountain, I annihilated thousands of the Dead Spirit Army, turning the tide."
"In the Demon Race heartland, I twice captured Concubine Yunxia."
"In the Demon Emperor Hall, I slew a Two-star and shocked the land..."
Ling Shu rubbed her forehead.
She interrupted, saying, "Alright, alright."
"You don’t need to say anymore."
She couldn’t find any flaws to criticize.
His track record, any one of those accomplishments would blind people with their brilliance.
Not to mention having so many of them combined!
She couldn’t find any faults at all.
Even Hunyuan fell silent.
He never underestimated Jiang Fan but didn’t think he was inferior either.
Until Jiang Fan’s self-introduction
left him dumbfounded.
Jiang Fan was virtually invincible within the Nine-Sect!
He was protected by the top expert of the Nine-Sect above,
had Sect Master mentors and friends in the middle,
and the top prodigy of the Nine-Sect as his close friend below.
With the future paved by the four Vice Pavilion Masters of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, his prospects were limitless.
How could he compare to that?
As he counted his own proud achievements one by one,
he felt embarrassed to even bring them up for comparison.
Liu Li was stunned too.
She stared with wide eyes.
No way, was her fiancé this amazing?
She recovered, her face glowing with pride, but she coughed lightly and said:
"Be modest. Talking about such trivial matters as if they were grand achievements."
"People might think you’re showing off."
Jiang Fan looked apologetic and cupped his hands towards Ling Shu and Hunyuan:
"A few minor accomplishments, forgive me for entertaining you both."
Hunyuan’s mouth twitched.
Did you see me laugh?
Those minor accomplishments, each one pierced his heart!
Ling Shu offered a polite bow and said awkwardly, "Young Master Jiang, you are too humble."
"It was my ignorance that I didn’t know of your distinguished reputation."
But she still didn’t give up.
Jiang Fan might be excellent, she admitted.
But what good was that?
What benefits could he bring to Liu Li?
Her gaze shifted slightly, and she softly said:
"Young Master Jiang, you and Liu Li are deeply in love."
"You must have prepared many surprises for her upon reuniting?"
His cultivation techniques or magical treasures were unsuitable for the Demon Race.
He couldn’t provide anything significant for Liu Li.
Even if he married Liu Li, it would be hard to provide any help in the future.
This natural disparity between their races was the reason Liu Li would be ridiculed for marrying a human.
Because marrying a human meant a loss.
Jiang Fan looked embarrassed and said, "We have not been reunited for long."
"In the future, I will do my best to help Liu Li."
Just preparing to taunt whether the future was tomorrow, next year, or a hundred years later,
Liu Li interrupted, "Jiang Fan, don’t be humble when you shouldn’t be."
"Haven’t you always treated me well?"
There was a faint hint of expectation in her eyes.
In previous gatherings, she avoided attending whenever she could, no matter how much Ling Shu provoked her.
This time, she agreed easily.
The reason was simple.
She had made a breakthrough.
It was a leap in her cultivation.
From far below Ling Shu’s Fifth Level of Core Formation, she jumped to the Seventh Level of Core Formation!
Strength had always been Ling Shu’s greatest pride in front of Liu Li.
It was her biggest asset.
And the thing Liu Li most wanted to surpass.
She had also broken through to the Seventh Level of Core Formation.
Ling Shu’s pride had been completely shattered.
So, when Ling Shu asked that question, she was incredibly excited.
The moment had finally come for her to...show her true self in public!
Ling Shu looked at Liu Li in surprise, "Is that so?"
"What benefits has he given you?"
She had hit the jackpot with that question.
Liu Li was laughing inwardly but maintained a calm demeanor.
"I fear you won’t be able to handle it."
Ling Shu was unimpressed.
How long had Jiang Fan and Liu Li been together?
Even if he had resources useful to the Demon Race, could he transform Liu Li completely?
"Liu Li, you must be joking."
"If you have improved, your sister would be only happy."
"Why wouldn’t I handle it?"
"Show us, maybe I can even offer some pointers."
So what if you’re at the Seventh Level of Core Formation?
Liu Li sighed helplessly, "Alright then."
"I hope Sister Ling Shu won’t be too surprised."
The energy within her surged.
A powerful aura gradually spread out.
At first, Ling Shu had a playful look, expecting to watch a good show.
Slowly, her expression grew serious.
Finally, when Liu Li’s aura was fully released.
Ling Shu’s pupils dilated as she gasped, "Seventh Level of Core Formation!"
"How is that possible?"
Hunyuan, on the side, was startled.
In shock, he said, "Master Liu Li, how, how did you break through to the Seventh Level of Core Formation?"
"Weren’t you at the Fifth Level of Core Formation?"
How could someone leap from the Fifth Level to the Seventh Level of Core Formation?
Even the Demon Emperor didn’t have such miraculous abilities!
Liu Li withdrew her aura, flicked her flowing hair before her chest, and calmly said:
"Just a minor breakthrough, forgive me for entertaining you two."
Oh, you call that a minor breakthrough?
Hunyuan clutched his head, recalling how much time and effort he spent breaking through from the Fifth to the Seventh Level of Core Formation.
Compared to Liu Li, Jiang Fan’s five-day arrival had directly boosted her to the Seventh Level of Core Formation.
He suddenly doubted his hard training.
Suffering hardship wasn’t as effective as marrying well.
This world, it was too damn unfair.
Had also collapsed at this moment.
