CHAPTER 1580: CHAPTER 1580: PLEASE TAKE CARE OF ME

Under the constant persuasion of that hundred-year-old woman and the burly man with curly beard, the sisters Dongfang Rushi and Dongfang Ruhua hesitated for a while. After privately discussing it, they finally decided to join the sect of the opposite party.

They traveled from the Minor World to the unfamiliar Major World, neither familiar with the situation here nor strong enough to ensure safety. Therefore, as the burly man suggested, they planned to first find a safe place and then continue cultivating while searching for Fang Bai.

Ultimately, the hundred-year-old woman and the burly man got their wish as Dongfang Rushi and Dongfang Ruhua agreed to join their sect.

When the sisters Dongfang Rushi and Dongfang Ruhua were parting, they embraced each other and cried, tears streaming down their faces. They privately agreed to meet once a month and asked their respective sects to help search for Fang Bai.

As long as they found Fang Bai, they would continue cultivating by his side in the Major World.

The hundred-year-old woman was named He Bing, one of the four Great Elders of the Ice River Sect. She was overjoyed when she got Dongfang Rushi, who had the Innate Water Spirit Root, and immediately manipulated her Spiritual Artifact to take Dongfang Rushi back to the sect.

"Haha, young girl, the people are far gone, yet you’re still unwilling to part? Don’t be sad. It won’t be long before you and your sister can meet again."

The burly man with the curly beard couldn’t help but feel sympathy when he saw Dongfang Ruhua weeping nonstop while looking in the direction her sister disappeared and comforted her with a smile.

Dongfang Ruhua cried for a while before wiping her somewhat reddened large eyes and looked at the burly man with curly beard, asking: "This... Uncle..."

"Uncle?"

The burly man was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily.

Dongfang Ruhua was baffled by his laughter and asked: "Is it wrong for me to call you Uncle?"

The burly man said: "Young girl, do you know how old I am?"

Dongfang Ruhua replied: "At most forty years... Am I guessing right?"

The burly man shook his finger, saying: "I established my foundation at forty years old and am now over one hundred years old."

Dongfang Ruhua was taken aback and stuck out her pink tongue, saying: "How can that be? You don’t look old at all!"

The burly man said proudly: "That’s the benefit of us cultivators. I successfully established my foundation at forty and am now mid-rank Foundation Establishment. It’s due to continuous progress in cultivation that my appearance has remained in the state it was when I established my foundation. If I can advance further and reach high-rank Foundation Establishment while I’m alive, my lifespan will be extended by dozens of years and my appearance will stay the same until a moment before death."

Seeing a look of envy on Dongfang Ruhua’s face, he continued: "Young girl, you are so beautiful, do you want to maintain your looks forever?"

"Yes."

Dongfang Ruhua nodded vigorously.

No woman in this world doesn’t love beauty or wish for eternal youth, and beautiful women are even more so.

Dongfang Ruhua hoped to appear before Fang Bai in her most beautiful state when they would meet in the future, becoming the most noticeable among the many women surrounding him.

"If you wish for it, come with me to the Leiyun Sect to cultivate! Oh, by the way, my name is Lei Hou. I am currently Steward of the Leiyun Sect. You can call me Steward Lei in the future."

The burly man was tall with a loud voice like thunder, yet he deliberately softened his voice when speaking to Dongfang Ruhua, trying not to scare this seemingly delicate young beauty.

"Oh, Steward Lei, I hope you will take good care of me in the future!"

Dongfang Ruhua deeply bowed to Lei Hou.

Lei Hou waved his hand and asked: "Do you think I will be the one teaching you cultivation techniques and martial arts in the future?"

"Isn’t it?"

Dongfang Ruhua was momentarily taken aback.

Lei Hou sighed: "You are an outstanding talent, the Leiyun Sect hasn’t seen such in a thousand years. Honestly, I really want to be your master, but unfortunately, I lack the qualifications! Once I take you back, you’re sure to become a target of fights among several elders, and even the Sect Master might personally instruct you. Your fortune has come..."

After a pause, he asked: "By the way, young girl, your sister is Dongfang Rushi, what is your name?"

"Dongfang Ruhua."

"Rushi, Ruhua... Ha, you two sisters have chosen good names! Alright Ruhua, let’s head to Leiyun Sect!"

Lei Hou summoned his Spiritual Artifact, stepping onto it, floating in the air, waiting for Dongfang Ruhua.

"Oh? This young girl actually possesses such a Spiritual Artifact!"

Seeing Dongfang Ruhua also summon her own Spiritual Artifact, which was no less in rank than his, Lei Hou revealed a bit of astonishment in his gaze.

Dongfang Ruhua’s Spiritual Artifact was gained during a trial in the Minor World. After she advanced to Foundation Establishment, she could maneuver it freely.

The two of them soared into the sky, riding their Spiritual Artifacts, and after a day, landed on a mountaintop near Leiyun Sect.

"That is our sect!"

Lei Hou pointed to a "small city" located several kilometers below the mountaintop.

The "small city" was built against the mountainside, with thousands of houses and buildings nestled by the water, arranged beautifully. Shadows of people were seen bustling among them, all of whom were disciples of Leiyun Sect.

From a valley on the east side of the small city, Dongfang Ruhua faintly sensed Thunder Spirit Qi, and her eyes lit up.

Lei Hou chuckled: "That valley produces Thunder Stones required for Thunder System Martial Artists’ cultivation, where Thunder Spirit Qi is most concentrated. If you’re accepted as a direct disciple by some elder, you’ll surely be allocated a significant amount of Thunder Stones every month!"

Dongfang Ruhua looked toward the direction of the valley, unconsciously clenched her fists, thinking: "Ruhua, you must strive hard! With enough strength, you can venture anywhere in the Major World to find your sister and elder brother!"

The two flew down the mountain peak, landing in front of the mountain gate. Several male disciples of Leiyun Sect on duty hurried forward, bowing their fists, saying: "Greetings, Steward Lei!"

When their gazes landed on the radiant Dongfang Ruhua, each face showed a look of amazement, and their breathing constricted. They felt that once this woman appeared, all female disciples of Leiyun Sect instantly turned to mediocre and plain varnish.

"Ahem..."

Seeing the duty disciples’ eyes fixed on Dongfang Ruhua, Lei Hou coughed vigorously in annoyance, casting them a fierce glare before taking Dongfang Ruhua directly up the sect master peak.

"Is that woman a new disciple brought back by Steward Lei from the teleportation array?"

"Is there a woman so beautiful in the world!"

"This must be the most beautiful I’ve ever seen!"

"Initially, our Leiyun Sect had many beauties, but compared to her, they seem rather insignificant!"

"Senior Brother Feng, you are one of the most good-looking men in Leiyun Sect and an early Foundation Establishment level cultivator, a perfect match for that woman. I think if you approach her more often in the future, you have a chance to win her heart and form a Martial Dao partnership with her."

"Wish Senior Brother Feng success in winning her!"
