“Thus, from now on, you must address me as big sister,” Chu Lingxi said to Chu Feng in a very complacent manner .
Why?” Chu Feng felt somewhat puzzled .
“Have you forgotten? The two of us have made a promise that whoever is stronger will be the elder one . ”
“Now that I’m stronger than you, you should address me as big sister,” said Chu Lingxi .
“When was there such a promise? How come I don’t remember it?” Chu Feng frowned . He had no impression of the matter at all .
“Oh, I’ve nearly forgotten . I dreamed of that promise whilst I was training,” Chu Lingxi suddenly revealed an embarrassed smile .
“Say girl, you shouldn’t bully someone like this, no? That’s your own dream, how could that count?” Chu Feng spoke with a look of helplessness .
“That’s true . I was muddle-headed . That dream was simply too realistic, so much that I thought it had actually happened . ”
“That said, you cannot blame me for it . You also understand that sometimes its very difficult to determine what are illusions and what are real while one’s in closed-door training,” said Chu Lingxi .
“It’s alright, I forgive you,” Chu Feng waved his hand indifferently . Then, he continued to walk .
With her hands behind her back, Chu Lingxi skipped after Chu Feng, “But, you still have to address me as big sister . ”
“Why’s that?” asked Chu Feng .
“What do you mean by why? I’m older than you to begin with . Judging by our ages, you should be addressing me as big sister,” said Chu Lingxi .
“Is that so? You’re older than me?” Chu Feng revealed a confused look .
“Of course I’m older than you,” Chu Lingxi raised her chest and lifted her head . With her hands on her waist, she appeared particularly serious .
Subconsciously, Chu Feng lowered his gaze from her face .
“What are you looking at?” Chu Lingxi spoke with a glare .
“Eh… cough cough…”
“Let’s not talk about age . Instead, let’s talk about the way you look . ”
“You look much younger than me . How could I address you as big sister?”
“How about this: let us do away with the seniority . You can just address me as Chu Feng,” said Chu Feng .
“Then what are you going to address me as?” Chu Lingxi asked .
“I’ll address you as little sister Lingxi,” said Chu Feng .
“Scram!” Chu Lingxi raised her fist and shot forth a punch .
“Woah! Help! I’m getting beaten up! A little sister is beating her big brother!”
Chu Feng avoided Chu Lingxi’s attack and began to shout as he laughed .
“It’s a big sister beating up her little brother,” Chu Lingxi corrected . She was also smiling brilliantly .
“I am your big brother . Earlier, you were calling me big brother . That’s something that everyone heard,” said Chu Feng .
[1 . Yes, Chu Lingxi was addressing Chu Feng as big brother since she came back with her mother . I thought wtf because that’s not how she spoke back then and she’s clearly some 15 years or so older than Chu Feng . So I ended up dropping the big brother part . Apologies . ]
“Pah! I was muddle-headed from my dream . Damn it! Did you really just accept it just because I addressed you as such? How shameless could you be?” Chu Lingxi chased after Chu Feng and began beating him up even more ferociously .
“Lingxi, you’re a grown woman, is this how you should behave?”
Suddenly, a figure appeared and blocked Chu Lingxi’s path . It was Gu Mingyuan .
“Mother, how could you criticize me? Why didn’t you say anything when I addressed Chu Feng as big brother earlier?” asked Chu Lingxi .
“How could I know what sort of relationship the two of you possess?” said Gu Mingyuan .
“You’re standing on his side! You’re my mother!” complained Chu Lingxi .
Gu Mingyuan ignored Chu Lingxi . Instead, she looked to Chu Feng . “Chu Feng . ”
“Senior, I never bullied little sister Lingxi,” Chu Feng immediately explained .
Hearing those words, Gu Mingyuan revealed a faint smile, “I’m not interested in the business between the two of you . I have something else that I need to talk to you about . ”
“Senior, what is it?” asked Chu Feng .
“The people of the younger generation all rely on treasures to increase their cultivation . You, on the other hand, do not possess such a treasure . Because of that, you are disadvantaged against them . ”
“Here, take this,” as Gu Mingyuan spoke, she handed a jade pendant to Chu Feng .
The pendant was completely red . It seemed to be made of flames, and looked very beautiful .
The pedant was extremely extraordinary . It contained an extremely strong Exalted-level martial power .
Just by looking at the pendant, Chu Feng knew that it was a treasure capable of increasing his cultivation .
Furthermore, the pendant was of excellent quality . It was a treasure of the highest quality .
“This jade pendant is called the Fire Qilin Talisman . ”
“If you are able to fuse with it, you will be able to increase your cultivation by a level whilst you’re an Exalted . ”
“Of course, one can only rely on oneself on the path of martial cultivation . The power of this treasure is, ultimately, limited . Should your cultivation surpass the Exalted realm, it will lose its effect . ”
“That holds true for not only that Fire Qilin Talisman . Lingxi’s Ancient Clan’s Inner Armor also can only help her in the Exalted realm . ”
“Even Linghu Hongfei’s Cyan Nethersoul that he spent such effort to fuse with is the same . Its effect is limited to the Exalted realm . Upon surpassing the Exalted realm, it will lose its effect . ”
“Although the effect will ultimately be lost, at least they are still useful in the Exalted realm . As they possess such treasures, you should have one too,” Gu Mingyuan said to Chu Feng .
“Senior, this treasure of yours is simply too precious . ”
Chu Feng had already realized how useful treasures were after fighting against Nangong Yifan and the others .
Chu Feng’s Lightning Mark and Lightning Armor could only increase his cultivation by two levels .
Nangong Yifan and the others, on the other hand, were capable of increasing their cultivations by three levels .
The reason why they were able to increase their cultivations by a level more than him was because they had treasures capable of increasing their cultivations by a level .
Chu Feng, on the other hand, did not possess such a treasure .
It was as Gu Mingyuan had said, he was at a disadvantage against them .
However, treasures like those were simply priceless . This was especially true in regards to the Fire Qilin Talisman Gu Mingyuan held in her hand . Chu Feng could tell how precious it was . Likely, it was even more precious than ordinary treasures . It was truly a priceless treasure .
“During my youth, I coincidentally entered a mysterious realm with your father . ”
“This Fire Qilin Talisman was obtained from that mysterious realm . However, it is not because of my own strength that I obtained this Fire Qilin Talisman . Instead, it was because of your father . ”
“I have always wanted to return this Fire Qilin Talisman to him . Unfortunately, I never had the chance to do so . ”
“Giving it to you today could be considered returning it to its rightful owner,” said Gu Mingyuan .
“Chu Feng, you should just accept it . What my mother said is true . That pendant truly belongs to your father,” Chu Lingxi added .
“Chu Feng, you are destined to battle Linghu Hongfei again . You need it,” Gu Mingyuan said .
What Gu Mingyuan said was precisely what Chu Feng was thinking .
Chu Feng had a premonition that business between him and Linghu Hongfei was still unfinished .
Sooner or later, they would fight again . Chu Feng did not know what sort of abilities Linghu Hongfei would possess then .
However, without a doubt, he needed more abilities capable of increasing his strength in order to defeat him .
“Senior, thank you . ”
Ultimately, Chu Feng accepted the Fire Qilin Talisman .
“You don’t have to thank me . This is something that belonged to your father to begin with . You can consider it as me giving it to you on behalf of your father,” Gu Mingyuan said with a smile .
