Chapter 57: The Heaven-Defying Su Wan’er
Luo Jiutian heard Su Wanyuan’s voice and slowly turned around.
The sight before him left him stunned.
Su Wanyuan had dispelled her disguise, now wearing a dark long dress, her chestnut hair tied in a single ponytail.
Her appearance bore a seven- or eight-part resemblance to Su Wan’er, both sweetly beautiful, but their temperaments were starkly different. She lacked Su Wan’er’s lively cheerfulness.
She seemed unaccustomed to facing others so openly, her fingers lightly pinching her skirt’s hem, her eyes darting, yet striving to remain composed.
And yet, this seemingly reserved girl possessed an undeniable “talent.”
The combination of these elements created an irresistible, captivating contrast.
Su Wanyuan took a deep breath, as if steeling herself, and said earnestly, “Let me introduce myself again. I’m Su Wanyuan… this is my true self.”
[Ding! Host has successfully won over the Chosen Daughter ‘Su Wanyuan’!]
[Congratulations, Host, for receiving the following rewards—]
[Talent Sharing: Host can directly use Su Wanyuan’s innate abilities without cultivation!]
[Cultivation Resonance: When Su Wanyuan breaks through a major realm, Host will gain corresponding cultivation boosts tied to her current realm!]
[Special Constitution Data: Full information on the ‘Gluttonous Devouring Pulse’ unlocked.]
The rewards on the interface left Luo Jiutian dumbfounded. “This powerful?”
[Of course, Host, you deserve it!]
Meanwhile, seeing Luo Jiutian’s lack of reaction, Su Wanyuan assumed he was stunned and said softly, “I just didn’t want to deceive my benefactor, so I let you see…”
Snapping back, he responded, “Oh, got it, got it.”
Su Wanyuan watched his nonchalant demeanor, her thoughts swirling.
She rarely showed her true face, expecting surprise, but his gaze was calm, as if he’d known all along.
So calm it made her want to probe what he was thinking.
Unbeknownst to her, Luo Jiutian was still communicating with the system—
[By the way, Host, the rewards don’t stop there!]
His interest piqued. “Really? Let me see.”
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for receiving—10 pairs of black stockings, 10 pairs of white stockings!]
Luo Jiutian: “…”
[What’s wrong, Host? Don’t like them?]
“Isn’t there something more practical?”
[Hm? These aren’t practical enough?]
Luo Jiutian: “…”
[Host, you’re not planning to go the Sigma route, are you? These are great for others to wear, no?]
“Why don’t you take form and wear them for me?”
[Uh, not possible right now.]
He caught the loophole in that reply. “Right now… not possible?”
The system seemed to crash, going silent.
“System?”
[System under maintenance, please try again later…]
It went full-on dead mode, ignoring his barrage of messages, leaving only a repair hammer icon dominating the interface.
Luo Jiutian sighed, exasperated, but didn’t dwell on it, instead reviewing the system’s data.
It showed Su Wanyuan’s constitution was the Gluttonous Devouring Pulse, a forbidden physique.
When cultivating, it absorbed spiritual energy at a speed and range far beyond normal, outpacing peers who couldn’t compete.
For example, if she cultivated in the Su Residence, she could drain most of the area’s spiritual energy, leaving others barely able to practice.
The higher her realm, the worse this effect.
Thus, those with this physique, before maturing, had to cultivate in remote areas or rely on spirit stones to avoid conflicts.
More troublesome, reaching major realm thresholds required absurd amounts of resources.
But despite the challenges, once this physique reached Golden Core, it was practically unstoppable.
Not only invincible among peers, it could devour enemy attacks, converting them to spiritual energy—a perpetual motion machine.
Fortunately, as the Clan Head’s eldest daughter, resources shouldn’t be an issue for her.
So, Luo Jiutian briefly explained her physique.
“I see.”
Su Wanyuan was surprised, never expecting such a heaven-defying constitution.
“In short, cultivate diligently, aim for a breakthrough soon, and that’ll be thanks enough,” he said calmly, already plotting.
Once she reached Golden Core, he’d share her attack-devouring ability, making him truly invincible.
But to her, his words carried a different weight.
“Young Master Luo…” Her voice trembled.
She’d thought he’d demand something excessive for such a favor.
She wouldn’t have refused if he had.
But he only asked her to focus on cultivating.
His unconditional support warmed her heart.
She looked at him, wanting to say more, when hurried footsteps approached outside.
Then—
Another figure deftly climbed through the window.
Su Wanyuan: ?
Was her room doorless? Why was everyone climbing through the window?
“Wan’er, what are you doing here?”
Luo Jiutian raised a brow at the newcomer.
Su Wan’er grinned, rushing to him and throwing herself into his arms. “Hehe, I guessed you’d be here, so I came to find you.”
After the hug, she turned and froze.
In her memory, her sister always dressed as a man, keeping a low profile, blending into crowds. She’d never appeared like this, in a beautiful dress, showing her true face.
Before she could think further, she sensed the aura fluctuations on her sister.
“Sister… you can cultivate?!” Her eyes widened, voice shocked.
“Yes,” Su Wanyuan nodded.
Su Wan’er’s eyes lit up. “That’s amazing! Sister, will you move back now?”
Caught off guard by her directness, Su Wanyuan paused before saying softly, “Yes, but I need to pack up here first.”
“Yay!” Su Wan’er cheered.
Su Wanyuan pursed her lips, adding, “All this… is thanks to Young Master Luo.”
Su Wan’er turned to him, curious. “Nine Heavens Brother, did you come here just to heal Sister?”
“Exactly,” he admitted bluntly.
“Really?!”
She’d been puzzled why he sought out her sister, alone in a room.
But it was to heal her, to set her on the cultivation path.
In the Su Clan, her only worries were her godmother and sister.
It made sense he’d help.
Was this the surprise he mentioned?
He really… I’m tearing up.
Her eyes grew wet, and she whispered, “Nine Heavens Brother, how about… I give you a child?”
