Oi, we have been through life and death together. Yet, you betrayed me without hesitation. Can't you play along? You're too frank. Li Xianyu retorted hysterically in his heart.

The woman in the room looked out of the window. At the same time, pairs of beautiful eyes fell on him. However, he and Cui Hua were innocent. On this occasion, it was obvious that they should retreat. Unexpectedly, San Wu sold him out. If he were to run, he would be recognized as a pervert who wouldn't let a cat go. Li Xianyu felt that he was the pig who had entered the slaughterhouse. He would be slaughtered regardless of what he did. Hence, he had to let himself inside.

“Everyone is here,” he said with a smile and looked at Cui Hua in a pretentious way. “Wow, Cui Hua, you have such a good figure. I said that you must have a good human figure, yet you want to stay in your animal form. Today is an eye opener.”

“Did you have a good time last night?” said Xia Xiaoxue.

Li Xianyu stared at her. “What do you mean? What's with your look? I didn't do anything with Cui Hua last night. We are innocent.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady replied lightly, “Cui Hua told us all that last night, you first saw her human form and said that she was good-looking. Hence, she remained in her human form for everyone to see.”

Hearing this, Cui Hua raised her chest proudly. Although the onlookers were not very friendly, they proved the point where she had on outstanding human body from the side view, which immediately increased her confidence and made her proud.

Did she tell you the real reason why she became a human? Li Xianyu looked at Cui Hua. Well, Cui Hua certainly wouldn't say that her days were numbered.

“I only saw a little bit, after all, when she turned into a human, I would inevitably see some things,” Li Xianyu admitted.

Xia Xiaoxue said, “Did you go overboard with her? I heard that foreign species are more casual.”

Li Xianyu raised his hand and mimicked a punching motion. He escaped to Great-Grandma's side and sneered, “I am a gentleman.”

Xia Xiaoxue curled her mouth and kept silent as expected.

Cui Hua also said that she was a reserved cat and was not taken advantage of her slave.

Li Xianyu explained, “Cui Hua is a mountain G.o.d. When the incense is broken, its state becomes like a rootless duckweed, and any wave might topple her. Buddha gave her an escape route to transform into a human being, embarking on a new and hopeful path. After all, the path of the mountain G.o.d has been cut off. If we don't find a new way, it would have no other choice.”

Great-Grandma suddenly realized. “No wonder. It's a good way to turn beasts into human beings.”

Li Xianyu looked at her and said, “Great-Grandma, you also know?”

She nodded. “Transforming animals into human beings is a unique cultivation method of Taoism and Buddhism. It's not really becoming human beings, but eliminating the animalistic nature and promoting human nature. Although their intelligence is equal to human beings, the animal nature is still greater inside them. Moreover, this kind of intelligence is not perfect. Only human beings are the most perfect, because human beings have human nature. Human nature is inborn. This was a talent that had been developed after countless years of evolution.”

I have successfully s.h.i.+fted the topic of the conversation.

“I don't quite understand.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady and the several girls frowned.

“I know.” Li Xianyu understood. His great-grandma had little education and was not good at forming sentences. She wasn't suited to be a teacher. This explanation was specious and didn't ill.u.s.trate the key point. He explained, “In fact, evolution is about animals. It's a kind of explosive evolution, but it's not perfect. Human beings are perfect, because human beings have experienced tens of thousands of years of long evolution.”

Great-Grandma gave a thumbs-up for her wise great grandson. “Cui Hua is going to have an even more perfect evolution next. It's going to evolve in the direction of human beings. Although it's impossible to make up for the time difference of tens of thousands of years, it will be more humanized than ordinary foreign species. This kind of evolution will bring the sublimation for Cui Hua, and let it be reborn. This is a method that Taoism and Buddhism have explored for thousands of years to cultivate and accept different kinds of foreign species. It is often recorded in all ancient books that Bodhisattvas and Taoists like to accept monsters as mounts, while those who are accepted will be reborn, tamed and more spiritual.”

San Wu said, “Cui Hua will be a mount after?”

Cui Hua bared her teeth to Li Xianyu. “Don't even think about it.”

Her facial features were twisted between human and cat. She wanted to change back into her original form, but finally resisted. Li Xianyu's handsome face was spareed.

Li Xianyu was speechless. All of a sudden, he wanted to lock San Wu and that j.a.panese girl together and let them insult each other.

The group of people left the room to have breakfast. Hua Yang entered Li Xianyu's body. Since Elder Hua Yu came to Lianghua temple, Hua Yang no longer showed up in front of large audiences to avoid being recognized.

Li Xianyu pulled Thunderbolt Battle Lady's hand and signalled her to walk slowly. They fell behind.

“What?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady's eyes were full of rage.

“Let me explain. I did nothing with Cui Hua.” Li Xianyu said.

“It's none of my business. Why explain this to me?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady pouted.

“Is it? I won't say anything else then.” Li Xianyu headed straight ahead.

“I give you ten seconds.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady gritted her teeth in anger.

After thinking about it, Li Xianyu found that there was nothing to say. What he said just now should have clarified the matter, but he felt guilty and said, “Cui Hua transformed for the first time. And then, last night, we did nothing.”

“Oh.” Thunderbolt Battle Lady nodded.

Ah, she seems to be surprisingly relaxed?

Thunderbolt Battle Lady looked at him. “Anyway, you are an old driver. It's not surprising that you would do anything. If you say you didn't do it, you didn't do it.”

Li Xianyu was speechless again. Because I have no bottom line as an old driver, so it was credible that I said no? Because the old driver who was delirious said that he was innocent, he was innocent? Li Xianyu's heart felt very complicated. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

After breakfast, he met a group of blonde and blue eyed Americans outside the hall. There were about 20 people looking left and right curiously, enjoying ancient Chinese architectural style temples like a group of foreign tourists that had come to China for a tour.

Li Xianyu saw an acquaintance who had a slender waist and perky b.u.t.tocks. She was Victoria Adrian, whose body was more outstanding than her face, and her brother, Ryder.

“Hi, Li Xianyu.” Victoria waved to him. The American woman laughed beautifully and bared her little white teeth. Her Chinese was still as bad as ever.

When Victoria saw Li Xianyu, the gentlemen of the United States automatically ignored him. Their astonis.h.i.+ng eyes fell on Li Xianyu's harem, among which the most attractive were the tall and s.e.xy Cui Hua and Thunderbolt Battle Lady. Thunderbolt Battle Lady had a small chest, so Cui Hua was the best in their eyes.

As for Xia Xiaoxue and You Mengyu, their chests were too small.

Ryder reluctantly looked away from Cui Hua and saw Li Xianyu. His expression immediately became queer.

Li Xianyu and others welcomed him. He and Victoria embraced each other warmly, but they didn't exchange kisses that he was looking forward too. He had to give a poor review. In the past, when watching American dramas, people in the U.S. would casually kiss each other. After dealing with people in the U.S., he found that this was not the case. Kissing etiquette existed, but maybe only between very close friends. In other words, it was not so easy and frequent.

“I thought you were not coming,” Li Xianyu said, and then looked at Ryder. “Yo, Little Ryder, I've been waiting for you for a long time. When will we have a gentlemen's contest?”

Ryder's expression suddenly collapsed. He looked embarra.s.sed and subdued.

Some time ago, they were in the Middle East to carry out their mission. He made small progress in his cultivation. After the mission, they did not return to America, but returned to China on the path they had come from.

Ryder was also happy that the task was successfully completed, and that he had killed the drug lords. He didn't miss China's Forum Conference. After meeting with his elder sister, he said. “Elder sister, do you remember Li Xianyu? Will he attend the conference?”

Victoria said, “I don't know. He has been out for a month.”

Ryder said angrily that this Chinese man was not a gentleman at all. He was a coward. He was clearly afraid and dare not face his challenge.

Victoria touched his head and said, boy, don't be silly.

“Unparalleled War Spirit! Gokudo Path Inheritor!”

These two phrases shocked Ryder. It took him a long time to digest the news. He insisted that the conference was a contest of personal strength.

Victoria handed him the small book. “This is the information I collected recently about the Li family.”

f.u.c.k, I'm a normal person. I don't talk with hackers. (╯‵皿′)╯︵┻━┻

“Ryder, what's the matter?” asked a blond young man in the crowd.

Ryder whispered a few words to him, and told him about his little feud with Li Xianyu and the agreement at the conference.

“He's improving so fast, I'm no match for him.” Ryder shrugged.

“Gokudo Path inheritor?” The blonde man's eyes brightened. “Teacher asked me to come to China to partic.i.p.ate in the conference. I want to find young Chinese experts to compete with.”

He looked at Li Xianyu carefully. For a moment, he suddenly shook his head in disappointment. “He's average, not so good as I am. I really should look for Jie Se, or Li Peiyun, a new rising star. You tell him to come to me if he wants to compete.”

He couldn't speak Chinese.

Ryder poked his sister in the waist and asked her to speak, because he couldn't speak Chinese either.

Victoria said, “Li Xianyu, I'd like to introduce you to a friend.”

“You can call me Li. You don't have to do as the Romans do.”

“Eric Brown, one of the strongest young masters of the Superpowered a.s.sociation.” Victoria said. She then said to the blond young man, “Li Xianyu, the young man with the most potential in Baoze. He is the unique successor of the Unparalleled War Spirit. He is my friend. It's just a joke. Don't take it seriously. The conflict between him and Ryder is due to a misunderstanding.”

Eric shrugged. “Teacher asked me to come to China just to beat them. I'd better fight all the young masters in China, or I'll come here for nothing.”

Thunderbolt Battle Lady came up and whispered, “Li Xianyu, he said he would beat you.”

“I know. It's not like I don't know English,” Li Xianyu quibbled. “Victoria, he's going to beat me?”

“No,” Victoria said awkwardly. “He meant that he came to the forum to challenge the experts.”

Li Xianyu said, “He looks very powerful. Who is he?”

People's strength could be seen from their appearance to a certain extent. It was like a muscle man who worked out in the gym. He had great strength at first sight. No matter how he laughed at people's muscles, he could still pack a punch. Eric's strength could be seen from his energetic, strong body.

“His teacher is one of the six leaders of the Superpowered a.s.sociation. He's semi-Gokudo Path. His teacher also came to China, but he didn't come to Lianghua temple. He went to find your boss to discuss the issue of the Great Deities Palace,” Victoria said. “Our a.s.sociation wants to buy the key to the palace directly, or enter the palace through your channels.”

If the two sides did not sign an alliance pact, then the demon descendants of the United States would not be able to enter China to fight for the treasures of the Great Deities Palace. If they entered, they will be deported by Baoze.

Lightning King said that the opening of the Pantheon was a disaster and an opportunity, which referred to this aspect. Baoze held a key to the Great Deities Palace. The rich and powerful Americans wanted to buy it directly. If they couldn't, they would hop on Baoze's tails and enter the place.

Baoze wouldn't let people freeride, of course. Although they would not let people hop on, the ticket fares were expensive as well.

The Aoki family and Sakurai family of j.a.pan had paid a toll in advance to allow them to enter the country, but if they wanted to enter the Great Deities Palace through Baoze's channels, then they had to buy tickets.

“h.e.l.lo.” Eric reached out his hand to Li Xianyu. He was two meters tall and stood out from the rest of the people in the United States. Li Xianyu was 1.78 meters tall, more than one head shorter than him.

“h.e.l.lo.” He held out his hand.

As they engaged in a handshake, Eric's big hand was obviously bigger and more powerful than Li Xianyu's.

Click! Li Xianyu's metacarpal bone creaked. His face was smothering. His bone was squeezed by a great force, causing severe pain. His hand felt like it was going to get pinched off.
