Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 475 - 475: Surprised Dongfang Jing
“Xiaotian!! Xiaotian!! Listen to this!!” Without even entering the place, a familiar, beautiful, energetic, melodious voice with a crass-sounding way of speaking can already be heard. The owner of said voice, especially with her appearance, is someone that anyone would mistake for a prim and proper lady who wouldn’t even be able to hurt a small creature.
As she enters the field of view of the immortal-like young man though, things can never be more different from what those who doesn’t know her would expect, as the moment she saw the towering figure of the man she fall in love with, she immediately rushes in glee as she spreads her arms before surrounding his torso with it, her head, plastered on his back as she enjoys his warmth while releasing a sigh of absolute satisfaction, as if she just found the most comfortable position in the world.
If anything, even without the voice or the unique sensation this lady gives while hugging him like this, Su Xiaotian is more than capable of identifying who this lady is with just a single sense alone, his sense of smell, which, due to his heightened cultivation, is being flooded with the smell of sweet, aromatic alcohol right now.
Indeed, it was none other than Hua Xian’er who rushed to enjoy the warmth of Su Xiaotian, seemingly quite clingy compared to her usual, shy yet aggressive self. The only thing that can make her like this is the very same reason why the immortal-like young man thought the scent of alcohol on this empress-like beauty was way stronger than usual.
“She and Astaria went into a competition with each other~” walking towards the front as she faces the man occupying her heart, her face filled with a joyous smile, yet another lady explains while maintaining gazes with him, her usual maidenly behavior tinge with some cheekiness, the tinge of crimson blush on her warm cheeks giving him an idea of why is it that she is acting like that.
“Well, I don’t think there’s any competition at all, hehehe~~~” the blonde, valiant-looking beauty said with a proud smile on her face as she catches up with the maidenly Hong Lian, her expression immediately fading away into quite the panic as color drains itself out of her gorgeous face, her world spinning as it happens making her feel like she is about to throw up all of a sudden.
Seeing the antics of these lady of the same generation as themselves, ones that they might even consider as more gifted people than them, three of the four others that enters the grotto, shakes their head as they observes these women, who are at the peak of the continent’s current generation of geniuses, losing their dignity and pride as they display themselves in front of Su Xiaotian in such a pitiful state.
“They’re quite different from how they usually are…” the alluring, purple-haired beauty that is Zi Yu’er remarked with a helpless smile on her charming face, her gaze directed on the back of the young man she gradually develops and grows her interest on, wondering to herself just how is it that he managed to make both Hua Xian’er and Hong Lian act like that in front of him.
‘The two of them are quite the prideful ones after all…’ she thought to herself all while thinking that it wasn’t really her place to think so, as she wasn’t completely unaware of the fact that the longer she interacts and stays close to Su Xiaotian, the more that she just couldn’t stop herself from feeling all too relaxed and comfortable around him.
As for the phoenix-like young lady and the scholarly beauty beside her, the two of them doesn’t really have all that much of an opinion towards this scene now as the two of them are already used to this kind of antics and dynamics between the immortal-like young man and the three of them, these two ladies even wondering whether it would be alright for the two of them to act a little bit closer like that with the young man, their martial brother.
If there’s anyone that has the wildest reaction out of everyone here, it would be the two royal ladies who are just looking at Su Xiaotian previously, the action of the empress-like Hua Xian’er shocking them to the core, Dongfang Xiang in particular, as she is well aware of the status this young lady holds within this continent, being one of the successors of what is possibly the strongest force within the Eastern Continent.
‘He’s really full of surprises…’ Seeing how Su Xiaotian deals with this rich, second-generation rich young lady, who seems to be way too drunk to be running around leading her niece to this grotto, the duchess thought to herself, wondering how this young man would deal with her if she were to act like that in front of him.
And catching herself having such thoughts popping up in her mind, she couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed, making her shake her head in an attempt to force such thoughts to the backmost corner of her head, something that barely works as lingering thoughts remain.
“I think you’ve already come to know me better with our conversation, Tian boy, so I think it’s time for the juniors to talk with each other…” Dongfang Xiang remarked with a smile on her face as she started to move out of her seat, walking towards the entrance of the abode, pausing for a while before turning around and revealing a teasing smile as she spoke once more.
“I hope you get along well with my dear niece, Tian boy~~~” she said with a cheeky smile on her face before she stepped out, her words reverberating all across the wall of the abode, leaving quite an atmosphere that made Hua Xian’er, Hong Lian, and Astaria look at him with such interest in their eyes.
Hence, the start of quite a long, yet interesting conversation with the immortal-like young man and his companions and martial sisters, along with a new acquaintance that they made, an acquaintance that has far greater experiences and knowledge than the other girls, given the fact that she is practically a princess of a kingdom with territory that spans multiple worlds.

“You’ve checked it again?” looking down on the massive ocean in front of them an old man asked with a frown on his face, the storm, no, calamity that has yet to meet its end despite its continuous existence for hundreds, if not thousands of years already, seemingly preventing anything else from passing and seeing the other side, the opposite similar as well, this calamity of a storm, the combination of heavy rainfall, strong winds and sky rendering lightning and thunder nothing but a mere distraction, a side show for the thing that he is currently focused on.
“Yes, while a corridor is established, the barrier between the two continents is as strong as ever… but with this, I think we can send in the kid there earlier than we thought…” appearing right in front of the previous old man, yet another one, seemingly of the same age as the former, answered, the peculiar air around him making it hard for anyone to see through his true appearance.
