Chapter 614: The Gorgeous Self-introduction

Bodhisattva Hunyuan felt like spitting blood!

This was damn thousand-year spiritual meat!

Those two women, Liuli and Lingshu, had ended up benefiting someone else just to spite each other?

He vigorously rubbed his chest, trying to keep himself from exploding with rage.

Bodhisattva Liuli listened to the Devouring Sky Tiger noisily gnawing on the spiritual meat, making sounds of gratitude to the heavens as it ate. Her small fists were tightly clenched. She secretly felt a pang of pain, muttering, "Just consider it feeding the dog!"

Bodhisattva Lingshu felt incredibly distressed. The thousand-year spiritual meat, which she hadn't even tasted, was trash in Liuli's eyes. This contrast drove her a little crazy. It also made her feel that something was wrong. What was going on? In past confrontations, she had always held the upper hand, so why was she constantly on the losing end today?

Her gaze fell upon Jiang Fan. There was a hint of displeasure in her eyes. "This wretched man is quite good at boosting others up!"

With a swift turn of her beautiful eyes, she said, "Liuli, dear, you haven't properly introduced your fiancé yet. We only know he played a small part in the Battle of Boundless Mountains. Other than that, it seems we rarely hear of his deeds."

Liuli understood. Lingshu had directly shifted her attack to Jiang Fan, intending to humiliate Liuli by belittling her fiancé. Liuli felt a little worried. Because no matter how proficient Jiang Fan was at sword-flying, he was indeed just a human disciple at the second level of Core Formation. If it weren't for their intimate connection, and the Demon Emperor needing him to uphold his reputation, he would be utterly insignificant.

Just as she didn't know what to do, Jiang Fan smiled gently. "Greetings, Miss Lingshu. I am Jiang Fan. Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Prince Consort of the Demon Clan, and a special meritorious official personally bestowed by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. The Sect Master of Qingyun is my master, and the Sect Masters of Hehuan and Ling Beast are my friends. Xia Chaoge, the top prodigy of the Nine Sects, is my closest friend. Xu Qingyang, the strongest expert of the Nine Sects, is my guide in the Way of the Sword. Two Deputy Pavilion Masters of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion are vying to take me as a disciple. In the Battle of Boundless Mountains, I annihilated thousands of Spirit Race soldiers and turned the tide to secure victory. In the heartland of the Demon Race, I captured Concubine Yunxia twice. In the Demon Emperor's Grand Hall, I slew a two-star general, shaking the realm..."

Lingshu rubbed her forehead. She quickly interrupted, saying, "Alright, alright. I... I get it. Please stop."

She couldn't retort. Completely unable to retort! Any single item from that resume could blind someone, let alone having so many gathered in one person! She couldn't find a single fault.

Hunyuang, who was standing by, was utterly silenced. He had never underestimated Jiang Fan, but he also didn't think he was inferior to Jiang Fan. Until Jiang Fan's self-introduction, which left him dumbfounded on the spot. Jiang Fan was simply invincible among the Nine Sects! Above him, the strongest expert of the Nine Sects protected his path. In the middle, he had a Sect Master as a master and two Sect Masters as friends. Below, he had the top prodigy of the Nine Sects as a close friend. In the future, four Deputy Pavilion Masters of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion would pave the way for him; his future was boundless. How... how could one compare? He meticulously recalled some of his proud achievements throughout his life, but he was too embarrassed to even bring them up for comparison.

Liuli was also dumbfounded. Her two eyes were wide open. "No, wait, my fiancé is actually this incredible?" She came back to her senses, her face flushed with excitement, but she gave a dry cough and chided playfully, "Be a little more modest. Even insignificant things in your life have to be brought up. Anyone who didn't know might think you're showing off."

Jiang Fan showed an apologetic expression and cupped his hands to Lingshu and Hunyuan. "Just some minor accomplishments, please excuse my humble display."

Hunyuan's mouth twitched. *Do I look like I'm laughing? Your 'minor accomplishments,' every single one of them is a punch to the gut, alright?*

Lingshu gave a polite bow and said awkwardly, "Young Master Jiang, you're too modest. It is this humble girl's ignorance; I didn't know you possessed such great renown."

But she still wouldn't give up. She conceded that Jiang Fan himself was formidable. But what good was being formidable? Could it bring any benefits to Liuli? Her gaze shifted subtly, and she said softly, "Young Master Jiang, you and Liuli are perfectly matched. Upon this reunion, you must have prepared quite a few surprises for her, right?"

Jiang Fan was human. His cultivation methods or magic treasures were not suitable for the Demon Race. He couldn't give Liuli anything. Even after marrying Liuli, it would be difficult for him to provide her with any help. This was naturally determined by the differences between the two races. It was also why Liuli marrying a human would be ridiculed. Because marrying a human would surely be a disadvantage.

Jiang Fan showed a look of shame and said, "Our time together has been short. In the future, if there's an opportunity, I will help Liuli as much as I can."

"In the future?" Lingshu scoffed. She was about to sarcastically ask if 'in the future' meant tomorrow, next year, or a hundred years from now, but Liuli said, "Jiang Fan, don't be modest when you shouldn't be. Haven't you been good to me?" A hint of anticipation flickered in her eyes.

In past gatherings, she would avoid coming if she could, no matter how Lingshu provoked her, it was useless. This time, however, she readily agreed. The reason was simple: she had broken through. And it was a leapfrog breakthrough! From the fifth level of Core Formation, far inferior to Lingshu, she had suddenly broken through to the seventh level of Core Formation!

Strength was Lingshu's greatest pride in front of Liuli. It was her biggest asset, and what Liuli most wanted to surpass. Now, she had also broken through to the seventh level of Core Formation. Lingshu's pride had vanished completely. So, when Lingshu asked that question, she was incredibly excited. Finally, it was Liuli's time to... well, make a grand display!

Lingshu eyed Liuli in surprise. "Oh really? What benefits did he give you? Why don't you show it to us?"

"Hahaha!" Liuli laughed heartily inside, but appeared incredibly calm on the surface. "Perhaps not. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"Heh heh!" Lingshu was dismissive. Jiang Fan and Liuli had only been together for a few days. Even if he had many resources usable by the Demon Race, could he really make Liuli undergo a complete metamorphosis? "Sister Liuli, you're joking. If you have made a good improvement, as your elder sister, I would only be happy. How could I not handle it? Show us then; if I see any shortcomings, I might even be able to offer some pointers."

*Pointers? What arrogance! Is being at the seventh level of Core Formation so impressive? Then I apologize. This old lady is too!*

Liuli sighed helplessly. "Alright. I hope Sister Lingshu won't be too surprised."

Having said that, the vital energy within her body surged. A powerful aura slowly emanated from her. At first, Lingshu's face still held a playful anticipation, waiting for a good show. Gradually, her expression grew serious. Finally, when Liuli's aura was fully released, Lingshu's pupils constricted. She gasped in a cold breath. "Seventh level of Core Formation! How is that possible?"

Hunyuang, standing nearby, was startled. He said in shock, "Young Mistress Liuli, you... how did you break through to the seventh level of Core Formation? Weren't you at the fifth level of Core Formation?"

*What the hell! How could someone jump from the fifth level of Core Formation in one go and break through to the seventh level of Core Formation? Even the Demon Emperor wouldn't possess such heaven-defying abilities, would he?*

Liuli retracted her aura, tossed the beautiful locks of hair that fell across her chest, and said calmly, "Just a small breakthrough, please excuse my humble display."

*You call this a small breakthrough?* Hunyuan clutched his head, meticulously recalling how much time and effort it took him to break through from the fifth to the seventh level of Core Formation. Then, comparing it to Liuli, Jiang Fan arrived five days ago, and she directly broke through to the seventh level of Core Formation. He immediately began to deeply question his own arduous cultivation. Better to marry well than suffer through hardship. This world is so damn unfair, isn't it?

Lingshu's composure also shattered at this moment.
