Chapter 171 - Theia's Tears

"But there is an Origin God Realm expert in the Lion Clan! I know you’re strong, but you just reached the Nascent God Realm! I won’t allow you to go there, stinky human!" Ice stood up on Jiu Shen’s lap and held his face with her chubby hands as she said those words.

Although she was always ridiculed by Jiu Shen and was even often bullied by him, she could still feel his care for her. She had already treated Jiu Shen as her family, so she didn’t want to put him in danger.

Jiu Shen grabbed the lolita’s chubby arms as he let her sit on his lap with a smile. "Do you look down on my strength? Listen closely little tiger, even if the whole of Nuar fights against me, they would only be buried beneath my feet. Don’t worry. Just trust me, okay? Wait until the matter in the Silver Wing Empire is settled, then we will go to visit the Divine Beast Continent." His voice was filled with confidence as if no one in the whole world could stop him.

Actually, Jiu Shen didn’t really treat the beings of Nuar in high regard. If he had his full strength, he could even destroy the whole planet with a mere flick of his finger. And even with his current strength, he was still confident that he could defeat anyone in Nuar...

Strangely, Xia Xinyue and Ice felt that he wasn’t boasting, but they were still worried since the other party had an Origin God Realm expert among them.

"But..."

Jiu Shen placed his index finger on the little girl’s lips and shook his head with a smile. "No buts. Just listen to me, okay?"

The lolita’s eyes became misty again when she heard Jiu Shen’s words, but she held her tears from streaming out as she hugged Jiu Shen tightly.

Xia Xinyue smiled when she saw the two hugging each other like a family. Unknowingly, she had already stretched her arms to join the two of them.

Inside the room, three people hugging each other can be seen, and they looked like a family, enjoying each other’s warmness.

More than a month later.

Many things happened in the past month in Beltran City. The whole Ice Cloud Sword Sect relocated their ice castle near Jiu Shen’s wine store. This sudden movement from them stunned the civilians and nobles living in the capital city, but seeing that there was no movement from the imperial family, the people had eventually forgotten about this.

The area around Jiu Shen’s wine store had also been emptied, and no one else was living within aside from Jiu Shen’s subordinates. With this, he started the construction of his sect’s main building with the help of the emperor’s servants, but he has yet to come up with a suitable name for his sect. However, Jiu Shen wasn’t in a hurry about this so he just continued to do his usual tasks.

Jiu Shen had also started training his subordinates with the way of the sword, and he even allowed the one hundred young slaves to join them every time he started his lessons. After his teachings, everyone gained significant insights that enhanced their strengths substantially. Even the one hundred young men had already started their cultivation journey under the guidance of Jiu Shen.

Under the respectful glances of countless eyes, Jiu Shen casually showed a sword technique that made everyone cheer in excitement.

A burning dragon phantom manifested out of thin air and it released an earth-shaking roar as it rose to the skies with an overwhelming power that almost suffocated everyone present.

Roarrrr!!

After the burning dragon phantom reached a hundred meters above the sky, its figure slowly turned into countless motes of crimson light that covered the heavens with a rosy color.

Looking above, everyone gasped in admiration and worship. Even those ice goddesses in the Ice Cloud Sword Sect revealed looks of fascination as they glanced at the motes of crimson light that was slowly vanishing.

"The power I used in that sword technique is equivalent to a 7th-rank Emperor realm cultivator. However, because of my strong sword comprehension, my attack’s overall power was multiplied by several times, making it even more powerful. If you train according to my teachings, you will eventually be able to do what I did earlier, so every one of you has to work hard." Jiu Shen said as he stared at those worshipping expressions with a calm look.

"That was only the power of a 7th-rank Emperor realm?! It looked like an attack from a 9th-rank Saint! Amazing!"

"Of course! Who do you think the Lord Sect Master is?"

Jiu Shen’s lips curved upwards as he said. "That’s it for today. Everyone can now return to practice on their own."

Everyone stood up and bowed at Jiu Shen respectfully before they dispersed. They were eager to return and start practicing after seeing Jiu Shen’s astonishing performance. They long for the day when they were already capable of unleashing even half of what Jiu Shen had shown them.

Just then, Jiu Shen discovered a lone silhouette who appeared to be absent-minded. Jiu Shen was surprised to see that it was actually Theia.

"Theia, is there anything wrong?" Jiu Shen asked with a hint of concern.

Theia was still in a daze and she appeared to have not heard of Jiu Shen. In her mind, she could recall a hazy figure of a man discussing the art of the sword. He looked familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, and every time he recalled him, she would always feel her heart throbbing with emotions. "Who are you? Just who are you? Why do I always see your figure even in my dreams? Who are you?"

Her voice sounded hoarse as tears unconsciously streamed down her cheeks.

This scene stunned Jiu Shen, but then he suddenly thought of a possibility. "Could it be that Theia also remembered her past? It must have been a lonely past if it could even make the strong-willed Theia cry like this..." He muttered. He was similarly a transmigrator like them, but he could fully remember his past life.

Jiu Shen sighed and gave Theia her private space. He knew that she would be embarrassed if anyone would see her current appearance, so he chose to leave her alone.
