Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 16

Liu Shunyi wondered if he was seeing things.

Why would an Inner Sect Senior Sister come to his courtyard?

Is there some incorrect way I’m opening the door?

With this thought, Liu Shunyi closed the gate again and then reopened it.

Ji Suying looked puzzled.

Liu Shunyi repeated the action once more.

Ji Suying remained speechless.

Just as Liu Shunyi was about to try again,

Ji Suying swiftly blocked the closing gate with her sword hilt.

“You’re not mistaken, it’s me!” she said calmly, showing no emotion on her face.

Liu Shunyi’s heart trembled.

Oh heavens!

An Inner Sect Senior Sister has come calling!

In mere seconds, Liu Shunyi mentally reviewed all his past actions. However, none seemed likely to have offended this senior sister.

Feeling perplexed, Liu Shunyi hesitantly spoke, “Greetings, Inner Sect Senior Sister! I apologize for any unintentional rudeness; please forgive me!”

Ji Suying nodded.

“Hmm, may I come in and sit down? Surely you don’t want me to remain outside?”

Liu Shunyi finally realized his oversight.

“Please come inside, Senior Sister!”

Liu Shunyi promptly led Ji Suying into his courtyard.

He hurriedly went to prepare tea.

Ji Suying observed Liu Shunyi’s yard. Although simple and modest, it was exceptionally clean, adorned with flowers and plants that added a warm touch.

“Here’s your tea, Senior Sister!” Liu Shunyi respectfully served her.

Ji Suying casually accepted the cup and took a sip. She slightly frowned.

The taste of the tea was peculiar, and upon seeing the leaves within the cup, she paused momentarily.

“A truly unique way to enjoy tea!” she remarked.

After a moment’s thought, Ji Suying produced some tea leaves and used magical energy to dry them thoroughly. Then, gathering fresh water, she heated it instantly with the Fireball Technique. After adding the dried leaves, she poured herself a new cup.

“Mm, this is much better,” she commented.

Liu Shunyi watched, utterly astounded. The mastery over spiritual power and control of magic spells displayed by this senior sister was nothing short of terrifying. Even the slightest aura she inadvertently revealed sent chills down Liu Shunyi’s spine.

Realizing that if Ji Suying wished him harm, she could likely end his life dozens of times in a second, Liu Shunyi felt a sense of unease grip his heart.

Despite having cheats at his disposal, Liu Shunyi was not invincible yet. He needed to remain cautious.

Naturally, he understood that Senior Sister likely purposefully revealed her prowess, intending to intimidate him.

Liu Shunyi sighed inwardly.

“Senior Sister, may I ask if there’s something specific that brought you here?”

Ji Suying maintained her composed demeanor.

“In two days, our little junior sister will embark on her training journey and requires some attendants. With your strength, you’ll assist by carrying luggage!”

Liu Shunyi promptly nodded.

“Certainly, Senior Sister!”

Ji Suying was taken aback.

She had initially thought, given Liu Shunyi’s high cultivation base and near-unbelievable insight, he would possess some prideful arrogance.

Yet, she never expected such a swift and decisive agreement from him!

Ji Suying hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“The truth is, asking you solely as a luggage carrier was just a pretext. My real intention is for you to secretly protect our junior sister during her journey!”

As she finished, Ji Suying fixed her gaze intently on Liu Shunyi.

Without hesitation, Liu Shunyi responded:

“I shall do my utmost to ensure her safety!”

Ji Suying was momentarily speechless.

For some reason, she felt like her punch had landed on cotton. She had prepared stern words and a firm tone, but now found them unnecessary. It left her somewhat uneasy.

Now, none of it seemed necessary, leaving her somewhat uneasy.

“No, you must refuse me first!”

Liu Shunyi blinked in confusion.
Wait, are you okay?

Feeling helpless, he reluctantly responded, “Uh, Senior Sister, I refuse?”

“Bang!”

“I’m not here to negotiate, merely to inform you!” Ji Suying slammed her hand onto the table, shattering it with icy eyes fixed on Liu Shunyi.

Liu Shunyi gazed at his now ruined table, falling silent.

“Don’t even mention your supposed lack of strength. Your concealment technique, though decent, is virtually useless against Golden Core Cultivators!”

“Of course, if you accept this mission, I’ll unconditionally grant you entry into the Outer Sect and provide you with a more advanced concealment method.”

Liu Shunyi remained speechless.

“Heh, you wouldn’t want others knowing about your rapid cultivation advancement, would you?”

Still, Liu Shunyi said nothing.

Is there something seriously wrong with this senior sister? I never refused! She told me to refuse just so she could say these things! What the hell kind of twisted mind is that?! And what’s with this demonic dialogue? Could it be…is she actually the villain?

Liu Shunyi felt utterly stunned.

“As you command, Senior Sister!”

Finally, Ji Suying seemed satisfied.

“Alright, meet outside the sect in three days. Remember, publicly you’ll be my luggage bearer, but secretly, you’re a skilled protector for my junior sister – ready to astonish with your actions when needed!”

Liu Shunyi nodded.

“Yes, understood. By the way, this matter remains between us and my sister only, clear?”

Liu Shunyi nodded again.

“Good!”

As a final gesture, Ji Suying handed Liu Shunyi a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills and five thousand Spirit Stones before leaving.

She claimed it was his compensation for the assignment.

Liu Shunyi was astounded.

“Wow, these Inner Sect Senior Sisters sure are wealthy, aren’t they?”

However, he quickly shook his head.

“No matter what, I can’t predict the dangers of this upcoming journey down the mountain. My priority now should be to enhance my strength!”

It was also prudent to stay away temporarily, unsure if Chen Beiping had spread any rumors.

Most importantly,

he needed to significantly boost his power.

But for Liu Shunyi at this moment,

enhancing his strength

was surprisingly easy.

With that bottle of Qi Gathering Pills…

Without even examining it, Liu Shunyi swiftly consumed the entire bottle.

He had no concerns about potential risks such as exploding from overconsumption, unstable foundations, or whether the pills might be poisonous. Chen Beiping would bear any consequences anyway.

As Liu Shunyi devoured the Qi Gathering Pills, his cultivation base surged wildly.

“Qi Refining Seventh Layer, Qi Refining Eighth Layer… Qi Refining Eleventh Layer, Perfection!”

It finally stabilized at the peak of the Qi Refining Eleventh Layer.

Feeling the immense power coursing through his body, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but sigh.

Despite risking everything by excessively consuming these pills to enhance his strength, Chen Beiping’s name only slightly dimmed.

“Is this the allure of a purple name?”

Liu Shunyi was genuinely astonished.

Even more shocking for him was that, with the synchronized Spirit Root talent from Chen Beiping, which was merely considered mid-to-high tier, he found its rate of absorbing spiritual energy comparable to that of high-tier Spirit Roots. It was fucking incredible!

All Liu Shunyi could do was marvel, “Damn, truly worthy of being a Child of Destiny – this is downright insane!”

However, based on current observations, it seemed the more extraordinary Chen Beiping became, the greater the benefits were for Liu Shunyi!
