Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 756 - 390: Li’s Neglect, Zhang’s Fault_2

Zhang Ze, "Climb."

Lily's situation is a bit troublesome. I don't know how she understands that spell, but to control it, she must have a Golden Core.

And this Golden Core thing, in all the vast world, except for Zhang Ze, you really can't find a second person who can provide rental services.

Therefore, to solve Lily's problem once and for all, she must become a Golden Core Cultivator herself.

Zhang Ze looked at Lily, "I remember you've been stuck at Foundation Establishment Tenth-Layer for a while now, your foundation is solid enough, why not try breaking through?"

"How to break through?" Lily asked curiously, like a little curious baby.

Looking at Lily, Zhang Ze suddenly realized the problem seemed to be back to square one.

"Sit properly, take a deep breath, focus on your breathing rhythm, concentrate..." Zhang Ze squatted down beside Lily.

And the result was obvious.

Lily messed up again...

"Boss, don't be discouraged, cheer up, you have to believe in yourself, you can definitely teach me." Lily, nearly falling into a mental disorder again, patted Zhang Ze's shoulder, comforting him.

Meanwhile, Elder Li over there, probably having had enough of the show, put down his teacup, lightly shook his robe, ready to demonstrate his true skills as the Sword Sect's Sword-holding Elder.

"Lily, don't mind him, let me teach you." Elder Li said confidently.

"Oh! Then I'll have to trouble Elder Li!" Lily, sweet as sugar, quickly returned to the cushion, sitting cross-legged obediently, waiting for Elder Li's guidance.

Elder Li, "First, sit properly, take a deep breath, focus on your breathing rhythm..."

Half a day passed again...

Seeing no progress with Lily, Zhang Ze stood behind Elder Li, massaging his master's shoulders.

"Master, you must have confidence in yourself, your teaching level is still noteworthy, the main reason you always fail is because you aim too high, if you could find some more normal disciples, you'd have students everywhere by now."

Zhang Ze comforted him.

Elder Li, "Shut up."

Zhang Ze, "Oh, the disciple shuts up."

After a long silence, Zhang Ze suddenly thought of someone, and he whispered to his master, "If it really doesn't work, shall we hire a surrogate trainer?"

Elder Li, "What is a surrogate trainer?"

Zhang Ze, "It's like someone takes your place in cultivation."

Elder Li, "?"

...

During the days Zhang Ze and Elder Li were tormented by Lily, Thousand Mechanism Town was indeed bright and sunny.

In mid-summer, the weather was great.

Miemie wore sunglasses, crossed her legs, and lay on the rooftop basking in the sun, enjoying life's pleasures.

After Everywhere Pass's home and the White Emperor moved to East Continent, the headquarters naturally moved too. And since Everywhere Pass no longer needs to serve the White Emperor, Miemie, the head of the secret operations, leisurely retired.

Her constantly rebooting life was now a thing of the past. Now she enjoys new days every day.

However, Miemie did not reshape her flesh, remaining in her puppet form because she found it really convenient.

She doesn't spend money wherever she goes.

Looking for fun, going to amusement parks, she doesn't pay because of her height.

Going to Spirit Shadow Theater to watch Spirit Shadow plays, not only does she not need tickets, but she even can sit in the first row by selling a bit of cuteness to the ladies.

Occasionally when bored, she can run to the Underground City of Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, playing the evil plush toy, chasing cultivators around during trials.

Overall, extremely delightful.

As for food cravings, Miemie doesn't care.

Just like Zhang Ze isn't a normal person, she's not a normal member of the Demon Race either.

Due to some accident, her Divine Soul mutated, becoming a Half-Soul Cultivator with Half-Artifact Spirit physique.

Her shell to her is just a materiality, the Divine Soul is the key.

Listening to the old thing and Sister Wang, if nothing went wrong in the past, the Demon Race might have gained another Demon Venerable...

Of course, Miemie doesn't care, what's past is past, what's forgotten should remain forgotten.

For her now, even the title of Celestial Venerate can't beat the comfort of the afternoon sun.

Flipping herself over, Miemie pulled out her little walnut, planning to see what new fun there was today.

But as soon as she opened it, she received a message from Zhang Ze.

"Want some extra money, Miemie?" Zhang Ze asked from the other side.

"Nope."

Without spending on anything now, Miemie just wants to laze around.

Zhang Ze, "Help out a bit, from now on, you get a new model of the little walnut for every one that comes out."

Miemie, "Hmm... Let me think about it, what do you want me to help with."

Zhang Ze, "It's serious business, only you can do it, for the sake of my master's face, come."

Zhang Ze moved aside, giving his master the spotlight.

Seeing Elder Li, Miemie sighed, "Alright, I'm coming over."

Ten minutes later, Miemie appeared in front of Lily, looking up at her, then turned back to glance at Zhang Ze.

"You want me to possess her every afternoon? Then cultivate for her? Three two-hour periods a day, until she breaks through to Golden Core?"

Though she could do it, Miemie still thought Zhang Ze's brain seemed a bit off.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to praise Zhang Ze for his unusual thinking or thank him for trusting her so much.

Miemie turned to Lily, due to not knowing Lily well, her speech was somewhat reserved.

"Zhang Ze's got a screw loose, but you... You trust me like this, not afraid I'll do something?"

Sitting on the cushion, Lily thought for a bit, then shook her head, "Not afraid, you harming me wouldn't benefit you."

Miemie, "..."

Such good reasoning.

"Alright, then sit tight, relax, I'll try going in."

Seeing Lily herself agree, Miemie didn't hold back, a circle of creamy white Divine Soul emerged from the puppet's top, then dashed into Lily's body.

And Lily, because she was too relaxed, didn't feel much, if she had to say, it's like a small room suddenly having a roommate moving in.

Miemie cautiously entered Lily's body, occasionally letting out confused exclamations until the creamy white Divine Soul fully merged.

Lily spoke, emitting Miemie's voice.

"This work is tricky, you gotta increase the pay."

Zhang Ze, "?"

Miemie, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not extorting, this little girl's situation is a bit unique, um... how do you say... right, spaghetti code, her being alive is already quite talented."

Zhang Ze, "..."

"Then help me out, what do you want," Zhang Ze asked.

"Haven't thought of it yet, let's leave it for later, I was just mentioning..." Miemie's speech paused halfway, then suddenly switched back to Lily's voice.

"I let Miemie give me back my mouth. Oh boss, I suddenly have an idea, what do you think about us setting up a surrogate cultivation service in the future?

"Hiring Soul Cultivators for breakthroughs, honest and fair.

"Customers can choose whether they want the wise old man style or the enthusiastic lady style, absolutely free choice, we can also..."

"Let's talk about it later, solve your problem first." Zhang Ze interrupted Lily's wild money-making ideas.

Lily, "Oh..."

Lily's matter was temporarily concluded, Zhang Ze entrusted his master with supervision, then left the secluded chamber used for cultivation.

He still had some serious business, concerning so-called 'spaghetti code'.

'Spaghetti' is not just one dish, in a sense, Zhang Ze himself is one too.

Moreover, his dish is even more complex, Lily can have Miemie surrogate, but Zhang Ze can't, some things only he can solve.

Entering the building's depth, Zhang Ze opened the door and was greeted by Junior Sister standing with her hands on her hips looking at him.

Xiangxiang floated behind Junior Sister, spreading her small hands, expressing "not my problem."

"You... why are you here?" Zhang Ze asked, eyes wandering, quietly.

Junior Sister, "Catching you, why didn't you tell me the truth?"

"Which thing, when did I lie to you..." Zhang Ze tried to laugh it off, attempting to muddle through.

Chen Qin, "You have a problem with your body, why hide it from me?"

Zhang Ze looked towards Xiangxiang, who was fading away and drifting farther.

Xiangxiang shook her head, "I said nothing, she figured it out... you guys talk, I've got work to do."

She fled.

With only the two of them left in the core part, Zhang Ze sighed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, just..."

"Don't say those meaningless things, let me see what's wrong with your body, maybe I can help." Chen Qin stepped forward, staring into Zhang Ze's eyes.

Sighing, Zhang Ze held Junior Sister's hand.

"You, this move doesn't work on me, don't try to dodge, I already know..." Chen Qin struggled, wanting to shake off Zhang Ze's hand.

But Zhang Ze shook his head, instead gripping tighter.

At the same time, Zhang Ze's aura surged, Nascent Soul Stage cultivator's pressure pressed towards Chen Qin, but when the aura reached its peak, suddenly, everything vanished.

Everything returned to nothingness.

And along with the vanished aura was Zhang Ze holding Junior Sister's right hand.

It was empty, nothing there...
