After they picked up Li Xue, Chen Li immediately brought his two best friends into the Tianyi Realm, shocking and awe-inspiring them both.
Li Xue then asked him. "Brother Chen, what kind of place is this? I've never seen such a beautiful place before."
"Moreover, when did you have such a superpower that you could bring us to a place ?" Guo Qing also asked him, especially since they previously had no power. Yet, Chen Li suddenly could do something like those with superpowers.
Chen Li laughed at their question and slapped his best friend's shoulder. "You're wrong about that; I don't have any superpowers."
"Eh?" They turned to look at Chen Li in surprise. "Then how can you do this?"
Before Chen Li could answer their question, they saw Feng Xian'er and Xiao Huoli flying towards them, making the two's eyes widen.
"How... how can you fly like that, Xian'er?" Li Xue asked her as soon as the two women landed before them.
Feng Xian'er chuckled and took Li Xue's hand. "Since my hubby hasn't explained everything to you, Sister Huoli and I will explain things."
"Hmm? You have to tell me everything, okay? I remember you have a superpower, but you've never been able to fly." Li Xue replied as she held Feng Xian'er's hand.
"En." Feng Xian'er nodded to her. "But before that, let's go somewhere else first."
"You guys can go with them, and I'll meet someone else first." Chen Li flew away in another direction, wanting to see Xiao Hei.
Xiao Huoli then enveloped Li Xue and Guo Qing with her aura. She brought them to the cultivation cave, and Feng Xian'er followed behind them.
After they arrived there, Feng Xian'er immediately explained everything to her two best friends. It started with what happened to Chen Li to all of them becoming cultivators.
"Unbelievable!" Guo Qing and Li Xue exclaimed loudly after Feng Xian'er finished telling them everything.
Feng Xian'er smiled, seeing their reactions. "Fortunately, Master Song and Sister Huoli saved Chen Li, or he would be dead by now."
"That's true." Guo Qing nodded at her. "Those bastards are really disgraceful! They all have superpowers, yet they almost beat Brother Chen to death." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
Li Xue agreed with her lover's words; she then turned to Xiao Huoli. "Sister Huoli, thank you for saving Brother Chen, or else I would have lost one of my best friends."
"No need to thank me." Xiao Huoli replied with a shake of her head. "In that case, I will explain how to absorb Qi from the air, so both of you pay close attention."
"Yes." Guo Qing and Li Xue replied excitedly, for they wanted to be strong to help Chen Li take revenge.
Feng Xian'er smiled, knowing their thoughts, but she wasn't surprised, especially since they had been very close to her and Chen Li for a long time.
Xiao Huoli then explained everything slowly, and they continued to pay close attention to her every word.
Unlike Li Xue, Guo Qing asked her more questions, especially since many of her words he couldn't understand.
Xiao Huoli didn't mind that and answered all his questions patiently, for not everyone had the same level of intelligence and understanding, and Guo Qing was indeed dumber compared to Li Xue.
Sometimes later, after they understood everything, they immediately closed their eyes and tried to do it according to Xiao Huoli's instructions.
Xiao Huoli then turned to Xian'er. "Chen Li is lucky to have good friends like them, and they truly care about him."
"Yes." Feng Xian'er nodded to her. "Guo Qing and Li Xue have known Chen Li far longer than me, and they've always spent their childhood together, so their bond is deep and strong."
"Oh?" Xiao Huoli was surprised to hear that. "Then, since when did you know Chen Li?"
"Hmm?" Feng Xian'er thought for a while. "The first time I met Chen Li, we were only 6 years old, and we've been together since then."
"I see." Xiao Huoli nodded in understanding.
Feng Xian'er then continued. "However, when I first met Chen Li, I felt that I had known him for a very long time, which made the two of us close very quickly."
Xiao Huoli sighed in her heart, and she was more certain that Chen Li was the reincarnation of Emperor Long Wang. Otherwise, Feng Xian'er would not possibly feel such a closeness with him, for that feeling came from her sleeping memories.
Tao Tie roared loudly when he saw Chen Li, but Xiao Hei immediately patted his head. "Hey, Big Guy! He is my Master, so you must be respectful towards him."
However, Tao Tie snorted and closed his eyes, for he couldn't care less about Chen Li.
Xiao Hei then stood up, moved towards Chen Li, and twirled her fingers on his chest, asking with a flirtatious smile. "Why are you looking for me, Master?"
Chen Li's lips twitched upon hearing that; he hugged Xiao Hei's waist, looked at her, and said with a faint smile. "You better not try to seduce me, or you'll get burned."
"Is that so?" Xiao Hei asked back, still with a coquettish smile on her face; she then brought her face close to Chen Li's ear. "Are you not attracted to me? Am I not as beautiful as Xiao Guang and Little Huoli?"
"Tch!" Chen Li gritted his teeth, cupped Xiao Hei's cheek, and kissed her directly on the lips.
Xiao Hei was stunned to feel their lips pressing against each other; she didn't expect Chen Li to kiss her; she then turned into black smoke and escaped from his embrace.
"Hahaha." Chen Li laughed, seeing Xiao Hei running away from him, and he then said to her. "Anyway, I want you to teach me the Calamity of Darkness."
"Oh?" Xiao Hei was surprised to hear that. "Do you really want to learn my techniques, Master?"
"Yes." Chen Li nodded to her. "Besides, I want you to teach me the Devil Mark."
"Hmm?" Xiao Hei raised her eyebrows. "Did Xiao Guang tell you about that?"
Chen Li nodded to her again. "Meiyi has already taught me the Soul Mark, but it isn't handy to use against some of my enemies, so I need your Devil Mark to deal with them."
"All right then." Xiao Hei moved to face Chen Li again, touched his forehead, and imparted both techniques to him. Soon, she pulled back her arms and said to him. "Done! However, you can't use the Devil Mark to your heart's content for now, so you must choose your target carefully."
"Why is that?" Chen Li asked with a frown.
Xiao Hei then pointed at Chen Li's chest. "The Devil Mark is different from the Soul Mark, and your current soul strength is insufficient to use it on several people simultaneously. For now, you can only use it on one person; using it more than once will hurt your soul."
"I see." Chen Li nodded in understanding. "In that case, I will start learning all the techniques contained in the Calamity of Darkness first, and I will ask you again if I can't understand them."
"En, you can come to me if you find it difficult to understand them." Xiao Hei answered with a nod of approval. "However, I'm sure you won't have any difficulty learning them, especially since you are Emperor Long's reincarnation."
"Oh?" Chen Li was surprised to hear that. "How can you be sure that I am Emperor Long's reincarnation? Even Meiyi and Sister Huoli didn't dared to confirm it, and they chose to wait for Xiao Shijian."
Xiao Hei chuckled after hearing that. "In this universe, only one person possesses the Golden Core, and that person is Emperor Long. Since you also possess it, I firmly believe you are his reincarnation."
Chen Li sighed after hearing that. "Forget it. Even if it's true that I am Emperor Long's reincarnation, the current me is not him, and I also still have to crawl up from the bottom."
"All right, you can go to study them now." After Chen Li disappeared from her sight, Xiao Hei muttered to herself. "Master, you must become strong as soon as possible, only then will all the memories of your past return to you, and you will lead us to take revenge on those villains."
Meanwhile, Shen Lu froze when he entered his house, especially when he saw Yang Lang glaring at him fiercely, causing his body to tremble intensely. 'Shit! Why did Uncle Yang come here? Has he told everything to my parents?'
While Shen Lu was thinking about that, his father suddenly stood before him, and Shen Hu immediately grabbed his neck. "What have you done? How dare you pull off such a disgracing act?"
"Gah!" Shen Lu had not finished speaking; Shen Hu had already slapped him very hard, causing blood to flow from his mouth.
"Gah!" Shen Lu once groaned in pain again after his father slapped him even harder.
Shen Hu shouted at him. "You really are a bastard son! I've never forbidden you from doing anything. Yet, your act of trying to violate Lian'er sure is disgraceful to this family's name!"
Once again, Shen Hu slapped his son's face, for he was enraged by his son's actions, making Shen Lu's cheeks even more swollen.
Seeing that, Yang Li immediately walked over to them and grabbed her husband's hand. "Husband, stop it! We should talk about this matter calmly."
