"What have you done?" Xing Fei gaze turned a but frosty. Many thought instantly appeared on her mind as she speculated what happened to her daughter.
"Mother. It was not my fault." You Ruo felt a bit pressured when she felt her mother's gaze.
Xing Fei face turned a bit better. However, she still frowned deeply. "Who did that to you..."
Suddenly, she remembered last night, a young man charmed her and slept with her. Did that young man also did that to her daughter?
"Bastard!!!" Xing Fei subconsciously shouted as he cursed that rapist. However, she suddenly remembered that she was in the middle of talking with her daughter.
"Mo...mother... Forgive me!" You Ruo was frightened when she saw her mother getting angry. He hastily prostrated on the floor.
"Uh...I didn't meant to lash on you." Xing Fei hurriedly hold her daughter up, before she really kneel down. "I was just cursing that man who took that something precious to you."
You Ruo sighed when she heard that. At that moment, a thought come up in her mind. "Actually...I don't really...I don't hate him that much."
You Ruo blushed when she said that. Her words towards the end almost faded.
"No! That man just molested you. We need to find him. Even if we don't punish him, we need to make him take his responsibility." Xing Fei added in her mind while feeling anger and embarrassment, let me beat up that bastard. How dare he seduce me.
"Really? You really mean that?" You Ruo's eyes shined when she heard her mother.
"Why are you suddenly become happy at the mention of him taking responsibility?"
"Actually...I think there is a connection between this and me advancing in cultivation." You Ruo was not sure. However, she has a 70% assurance that her advancement has something to do with her having intercourse with that man.
"Tell me what it is."
"After that man took that...I started cultivating as usual this morning. Suddenly, I miraculously brokethrough. Furthermore, I advanced more that just one small realms." You Ruo explained her situation.
Xing Fei was stunned. There is such a case? Did the man practice double cultivation? The matter of last night came back to her mind, and caused her face to turn strange.
"Daughter, let me ask you something. Last night, did a man suddenly appeared in your room?"
"Ah, mother. How did you know?"
"Also, did he have this charm that hard to resist?"
"Mother you are correct again. Why do you know this?"
Xing Fei face turned even more strange. She then sat down at her daughter's bed, causing You Ruo's face to turn weird when she look at her mother.
Xing Fei then started to regulate her cultivation which has been stuck at the peak of the Step King realms.
Boom!
In that instant, a wave of aura come out from her body, and washed away in the surrounding area. This aura was the aura of an Empress level cultivator. Obviously, Xing Fei brokethrough from the peak of Step King into the First level of Step Emperor. However, the aura vanished as fast as it came out, as Xing Fei managed to control her cultivation from leaking out any further.
"An Emperor!"
"Did someone brokethrough into an Emperor?"
"That doesn't make any sense. Our Li family didn't even have anyone who is in the Step King realm. How is it possible for anyone to suddenly advance into Step Emperor?"
"Did an Emperor visited our family?"
The Li family fell into great uproar. The matter of the emergence of an Emperor in their family was too great of an ambition for them. The family already long longed for one of them to become Emperor level cultivator. However, there seems to be no one qualified to meet that dream.
Back at You Rou's room, she was dazed when she saw her mother's sudden brokethrough. Why did she suddenly breakthrough after listening to her story. Could it be...her face paled.
"Mother, did you also..."
"Sigh. It's a long story." Xing Fei sighed at her daughter. She then asked, "Knowing that he also did that to you own mother, do you hate him?"
"I HATE HIM!!" You Ruo was angered. That guy is a playboy. How could he do that to me and my mother? I hate him!
"Then, we don't need for him to take responsibility."
"Eh!? Wait...why?" You Ruo's face suddenly changed. This, this is not the same as hating that man.
"You should forget about that man. He is not worthy of you." Xing Fei persuaded her daughter. "You are still young. There are many man out there who is worthy to be your husband."
"No! Mother, although I hate him, I still wanted him to take responsibility of me." You Ruo suddenly made her mind. It was a thought that she already considered carefully.
That man is charming. He also can help her to rise her cultivation level. His mysterious ways of appearing and went away were in itself can be considered as his charm. The greatest reason of all is that his 'weapon' is formidable. Any lady would fall for that.
"Why do you persist in having him take responsibility?" Xing Fei frowned when she saw her daughter being adamant in her stand. "He is not good for you."
"Mother, why do you keep disagreeing with me?" You Ruo was dejected when her mother was making a hard stand against her. Wait...as she stared at her mother, she felt a hint of jealousy.
"Mother...Did you fall for that guy?"
"Ehem. No...I mean, he is too charming. Besides, your father haven't done it since I was pregnant of you." Xing Fei blushed as she spoke up. "Anyway, that a no for you."
"Mother, you can't do that." You Ruo suddenly felt lost.
"Yes, I can."
"I will tell father."
"What!?"
"I will tell father that you lust for another man. You even slept with one." You Ruo looked at her mother with a firm look.
Xing Fei eyes become sharp as she looked at her daughter. A moment later, she sighed. "Fine. Go on. Tell your father."
"Huh!?" You Ruo faltered.
"Tell him exactly that. And if he divorce me, I can then find that man and marry him." a flash of happiness appeared in the mother's eyes.
The daughter was dumbfounded and suddenly felt that that is certainly going to be the consequences.
"Mother, can you just stop?"
"I already started. I can no longer stop, nor turn back."
"He is mine. I might already...no, I'm certainly am pregnant of his child."
"I'm the same."
"..." You Ruo was unable to win against her mother. In the end, she cannot help but curse, "Mother, you are slut."
"Whatever you say daughter. You already inherited the gene."
You Ruo was really defeated with her mother's shamelessness.
While the mother and daughter were in the middle of a heated argument, the culprit who caused all of that was on his way towards the capital of Qin Kingdom.
As the saying goes, knows your enemy, and knows their weakness, Xian Wu is planning to investigate the Qin Royal family. While he is in this kingdom, he wanted to cause havoc to the Qin Royal family. He wanted to let them know that karma is on his way to Qin Royal family.
Reaching the capital, he found a restaurant and entered it. The name of the restaurant is Flowering Garden.
"Hello there. Are you eating here or ordering some take away food?"
"No. Actually, I came here to find a job. Do you perhaps has any slot for a new worker?"
"Sorry sir. I'm not in charge to recruit any worker."
"Then, can you refer me to your manager?"
"Wait here. I'll go tell my father."
The girl whose job is to take order saw that Xian Wu was handsome. He also showed a good natures vibe. It impressed the girl, causing her to unable to turn him down.
The girl hurriedly headed inside. Before long, she come out with a middle aged man in tow.
"Who is the one wanting to apply for job?"
"Father, he is the one." The girl pointed at Xian Wu who was sitting, while waiting for them.
"So you are the one huh." The man looked at Xian Wu. "Tell me kid, what are you good at? How are you going to help me as a worker in this restaurant?"
Xian Wu. pondered for a bit. After that he replied, "I am good at cooking my own meal. As for how can I help you here in this restaurant, I can do dish washing, and cleaning.
If you were to ask me to cook, that's fine too. I'm quite good at using something sharp, like sword or knife,and cutting thing is my forte. Other than that, I'm a quick learner. However, I haven't learned the chef ways of tasting foods. Well, I can learn that as well."
The girl and the father looked at each other. They were amused at Xian Wu's answer.
"By the way, I'm a Step Master cultivator. So, you can also hire me as a bodyguard." Xian Wu added.
"Step Master!"
The two was surprised. The father then become a bit enthusiastic as he asked, "Friend, I haven't seen your face around here. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?"
"I'm Tian Wu. I'm a traveller from the Sun Dynasty. I just got here today. However, some group of gangsters attacked me. I lost all my money. That's why, I am searching for a job here." Xian Wu made up a story, while making a sad expression.
"That's really unfortunate." The father didn't really believe Xian Wu but still replied in sympathy. He could see that the man didn't have anything on him. His clothes is also a bit dirty, showing that he is not really having it good with his life. "In that case, come back here tomorrow. In the meantime, I will think of a job that suit you."
"Thank you. Then I will come back again tomorrow." After that, Xian Wu cupped his hands and left the restaurant.
"Father, we have an empty room in the house. Why not invite him to stay with us?"
"Ling'er, don't just look at his face, and blindly believe him to be a good man. We should be careful not to be deceived, especially by someone young and handsome." The father looked deeply at his daughter and reminded her.
"Father, what are you saying?" Jun Ling'er blushed when she felt her father's stare at her.
Ah! My daughter has fallen for someone! Jun Wei was having an inner struggle right at this moment.
Fortunately, someone entered the restaurant to ease up his worry.
"I'm back."
A lady who brought some bags full of ingredients, entered the restaurant, and approached the two. He looked at the two, and asked curiously, "Why do you guys still in a daze? It's time to close the restaurant, right?"
