Chapter 959: Di Ji Wants To Be Of Much Help To Her Young Master!
"Hey!"
A momentary surprise covered Ling Tian before he smiled softly and stretched out his arms as well, embracing Di Ji's tender but exquisite body with his arms and caressed her head affectionately.
"Young master..."
Di Ji whispered and smelled the familiar scent that she had longed and missed, her cheeks blushed intensely, her heart raced and fluttered intensely inside her chest, feelings of joy, excitement and shyness mixed together, causing Di Ji to feel a rush of emotions. However, she still did not pull away from Ling Tian and continued to bury her face in his chest.
"Have you been well, Di Ji? You haven't been bullied?" Ling Tian asked affectionately, somehow feeling Di Ji's behavior very similar to Lan Yin and Qing Sha's, shy at first, but eventually more direct, exuding affection at the sight of him.
"Ehmnn..." Di Ji nodded, still nodding her head on Ling Tian's chest.
"Immortal Young Master, you've finally returned...."
"Hmph! I thought something happened to you, brat-young master Ling!"
Feng Ye and Feng Junze approached, with the latter gritting his teeth and modifying the words he wanted to say. However, their gazes still held some surprise as they saw that Ling Tian's hair is completely white and longer than before... could it be that he wants a new makeover?
"Several things happened that kept me busy." Ling Tian nodded and waved his hand casually.Since leaving this place with Shin Wei and Xuanyuan Ling, Ling Tian had not seen Feng Ye and Feng Junze again. He only met Di Ji, Li Fengyuan and Feng Zhiyun in the small mysterious realm of Hongmeng, eventually parting ways once again.
"Young master!"
"Big brother!"
Several voices were heard at once, as two large figures arrived on their flying swords as well while carrying small children with themselves.
Ling Tian looked at the people who arrived in front of him and smiled softly. They are Di Ji's parents and younger siblings.
"How have you been? Have they treated you well? This time I've come for you guys..." Ling Tian smiled, looking at each of Di Ji's family members before looking back at Di Ji, who was still hugging him tightly.
"Will you finally take us with you, young master?"
Di Ji's father's face lit up a moment later, realizing that the young master they swore to serve and be loyal to had finally come for them!
Ling Tian had not forgotten about them!
"Young master, will you finally take me with you to your world?"
Di Ji, in Ling Tian's arms, raised her head, her gaze full of astonishment, expectation and excitement evident in her. Finally she could be useful and helpful to Ling Tian, her young master?
"Uhm! I told you I'd come back for all of you!" Ling Tian nodded, letting out a small laugh.
Di Ji's parents rejoiced, while their children smiled and approached Ling Tian as well, wanting to play with him.
"Then we'll go pack our things soon!" Di Ji's mother added shortly.
"It's okay, there's no hurry! In a few days we'll leave, since I have to do a teleportation formation to move!"
Ling Tian waved his hand, not wanting despair to consume them.
"Teleportation formation?"
Instantly, Feng Ye muttered in astonishment while Feng Junze was speechless.
What did Ling Tian mean by a teleportation formation? Did he really mean the true teleportation formations that allowed one to travel from one place to another specific place? The teleportation formations that can only be built by true expert masters with great knowledge?
"It's just a small teleportation formation to travel to my world, nothing more, no need to make such a fuss..."
Ling Tian chuckled lightly and waved his hand again, before frowning and asking, "By the way, where is Fengyuan? I don't sense her aura nearby in this place."
Several minutes had already passed, and with Li Fengyuan's cultivation level it would be strange if she hadn't noticed the situation in this place. Ling Tian couldn't sense Feng Zhiyun's aura either.
"F-Fengyuan?" Feng Ye stammered, as if he didn't understand what he had just heard before shaking his head quickly and saying, "Y-young Miss Fengyuan went with my grandchildren to the Young Genius Meeting, a place where the younger generation gather and discuss martial dao and they compete with each other, while exchanging ideas and experiences."
Feng Ye explained in a few words to Ling Tian about where Li Fengyuan, Feng Zhiyun and even Feng Xiao had gone. His gaze shifted to Di Ji, remembering that this girl had decided to stay behind to continue cultivating arduously, as her cultivation level is still low compared to the two women and a little behind Feng Xiao.
In fact, a World Tournament would be held a few days after this Young Genius Gathering, where they compete against each other to prove who deserves to be the leader of the current young generation. The elders and older generations are always present at these tournaments, the Feng family is one of the main forces invited, and both Feng Ye and Feng Junze and Feng Qiangxun will be present as well.
However, at the Young Genius Gathering the older generation and elders do not participate, so the youngsters can have fun and fellowship without any worries of unnecessary intervention by some elder.
"Uhm... I see." Ling Tian thought about this tournament for less than two seconds and nodded casually, not paying further attention.
This kind of tournament for the younger generation is common even in the Immortal World. Ling Tian remembered that a tournament would still be held in his world, the Heavenly Earth Continent, in a few months, but he did not think much of it. These kinds of tournaments are simply to prove to the world that you are strong enough, becoming famous and renowned, while at the same time looking for some sponsor or background strong enough for you to be able to continue cultivating smoothly.
For Ling Tian, these tournaments are of no great importance, and can even be a bit tedious. Whatever he wants to get, Ling Tian can get it by himself... moreover, counting Ling Tian's age, he already belongs to the old generation, even the oldest generation that is about to disappear from the world due to the life expectancy of maximum 10 thousand years, while the current Ling Tian's age is much more. It would be like Ling Tian going in to fight with young, weak and inexperienced toddlers, similar to a tiger entering a herd of sheep...
Ling Tian looked at Feng Junze and then at Feng Ye, before smirking slightly and saying, "I need a somewhat spacious place to build a teleportation formation, at least 300 square meters, so that I can take Fengyuan, Di Ji and her family with me."
Feng Junze blinked in confusion and asked, "You really will build a teleportation formation?"
"Yes, immortal young master Ling! Don't worry, I'll take care of finding a good place for you!" Feng Ye affirmed at once, asking again, "I'm sorry, will you need materials?"
"Well, now that you mention it, I will need some of these materials..."
Ling Tian threw a small jade plate towards Feng Ye, before adding, "And I'll need a lot of spatial crystal as well."
Indeed, Ling Tian still had enough materials to build a teleportation formation, he even had a bit of spatial crystal. But remembering the wealth and power of this Feng family, Ling Tian would be able to get more materials and exchange them for some powerful cultivation techniques or methods.
Ling Tian wanted to keep the required material to make a teleportation formation in case of an emergency. That way, he could escape or deceive the enemy.
"I'll take care of collecting the materials you need!" Feng Ye nodded and quickly ordered the guards to retreat. Feng Junze looked at Ling Tian for a while longer, before his face changed again to an expression full of bitterness and jealousy and finally followed his father, Feng Ye.
Seeing that there was no threat, and that the young man who appeared had already been seen before, the guards left without a problem upon hearing the ancestor's command.
"Young master... Di Ji has not yet been able to reach the great ascension realm..."
Once back, Di Ji felt Ling Tian's gaze on her, feeling nervous, shy, expectant, happy, anxious, with many mixed feelings, so she quickly confessed her fear, hoping that Ling Tian was not disappointed in her.
"But I promise that I will continue to try much harder to become stronger so that I can be of great help to you, young master!" Di Ji reaffirmed at once, showing an expression full of promise, showing Ling Tian her firmness.
Ling Tian blinked somewhat in surprise before smiling and shaking his head, he raised his hand and patted Di Ji's head, while replying warmly, "You don't need to overexert yourself or get anxious, I promised you that you would be my personal maidservant and it will be so. That's why you don't have to put yourself in danger or suffer in vain, I will protect you and you just have to be happy."
Ling Tian could feel Di Ji's anxiety and worry, especially thinking about how Di Ji now knew the cultivation level he was at and how strong he is, while she still can't help him completely. Di Ji's cultivation base already reached the Nascent Soul State Peak Stage, which is sufficient and strong enough for the world at large, but the experts surrounding Di Ji are not weak, and she can clearly feel pressured and filled with anxiety.
A cultivator at the nascent soul stage is undoubtedly an expert, even a supreme figure in some places, but in other higher places and even greater worlds, a nascent soul cultivator is still an ant. Ling Tian can perfectly understand Di Ji's thoughts about wanting to be stronger, mostly to support him.
"But it's not enough! I will become very strong so you can count on Di Ji's help, young master!"
Di Ji felt some relief in her heart as she listened to Ling Tian, feeling cheerful and happy to see that her young master was not disappointed in her, and even still he accepted her like that. But Di Ji also wishes to be of help to Ling Tian, and not just be his personal maid in name and image.
"Cultivation is a step-by-step thing, and wanting to rush you along the path will have serious repercussions, even if they are only small shortcuts."
Ling Tian took his time to calm Di Ji's anxieties. Di Ji's cultivation base is very stable, so it is easy to say that despite her worries and anxieties, Di Ji has been cultivating with security and stability. But if her worries are not calmed down, it could end up affecting her in the future and greatly shorten her cultivation path.
Di Ji listened attentively to Ling Tian in silence, recording his words in her heart. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anxieties and worries. As long as her young master said it was okay, then Di Ji would be sure to comply.
Ling Tian watched Di Ji for a long with a small smile, but what caught his attention was not cultivation base, but rather her body and hair. Di Ji's body, which was previously very thin and small, has now grown several inches, being taller than before, her body has developed beautifully, being flat where it should be flat, and round where it should be round, giving a wonderful appearance.
Ling Tian could not help but be reminded of one of his wives, Mu Shuiruo, as looking at Di Ji both women seem to share tender and beautiful bodies, wonderful and unique to look at. A beauty mixed with an attractive tender sensuality emerged from both women.
But what caught Ling Tian's attention the most was Di Ji's hair. Di Ji's long, silky, lush hair is slowly beginning to change to a gray-white shade, with light strands and thin hairs of pure snow-white.
"The Three Winters' Pill..." Ling Tian knew that it should be one of the effects of the pill Di Ji consumed, transforming her body and making it better for cultivation.
But Di Ji did not manifest any hidden problems or injuries, so Ling Tian was relieved to see that the heavenly pill did not cause Di Ji any problems.
Ling Tian chatted for a while with Di Ji's parents, answering some of their questions and reassuring them, and also played with Di Ji's younger siblings, kids younger than Lan Yin and Qing Sha, and who were still learning the basics of life before entering the path of cultivation.
"Immortal Young Master Ling, we have gathered the materials you requested."
After several hours of talking and spending time with Di Ji's family, Feng Ye arrived and respectfully said to Ling Tian.
"As soon as I am done and everything is ready, I will let you know, for now you can continue to rest."
Ling Tian looked at Di Ji's parents, assuring them that this time they would go with him.
Di Ji's parents nodded and stayed with their small children, while Di Ji followed Ling Tian and Feng Ye, changing her demeanor a bit and showing herself to be a true personal maidservant of Ling Tian and following him closely as her expression was filled with seriousness.
