Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Going back 7 years, when Jiang Xiu had to hear these words for the first time, he was thunderstruck. He had become imbecile at that time and felt as if the entire world had become shades of grey. He couldn't see even a ray of light. But now, he didn't even feel a single thing.

After 3 millennia, Jiang Xiu's experience was as vast as the seas. His heart had long ago become as tranquil as a gentle breeze. In the previous timeline, Cheng Lingsu was extremely important to him, she was his everything. But in this timeline, he was indifferent towards Cheng Lingsu. If he had to really say it, if there were someone for whom his heart had no place, it'd only be her!

But that Cheng Lingsu wasn't the Cheng Lingsu before his eyes.

Noticing that Jiang Xiu was so calm, Cheng Lingsu felt quite shocked. She thought he'd beg her, or even fly into a rage and also force her to commit suicide with him, but she never expected that he'd be so calm.

Cheng Lingsu asked, "This era is not like before. Each person has the right to select their own path in life and decide their own fate."

Looking at this beautiful and alluring girl, Jiang Xiu felt the previous him was just too ignorant, an idiot, because he had given all of his love to her, only to receive indifference and heartlessness in return, as well as paying the price with his parents' life.

"Naturally, our Cheng family will provide some kind of compensation to you."

Compensation?

My father has sunk down from a top civil servant to a low-class prisoner which ruined him. My mother has fallen from an elegant lady to a peddler running a fruit stall, and this Deity has suffered so much that I couldn't even lift my head in front of my classmates and friends. All of this was actually conferred by your Cheng family. If you really want to compensate, return all the glory, splendour, wealth and position you've obtained!

But… will you be able to compensate… these kind of conditions?

You conceited woman!

Jiang Xiu stopped her, "This Deity doesn't want to!"

"You…"

Cheng Lingsu was quite angry. She thought that since he was so tranquil, he might accept it. Due to the indifference Jiang Xiu showed this time, her heart still felt a little frustrated, but after thinking a bit, she believed that he wouldn't renounce it so easily as the Cheng family was a readily available meal set on the plate for him. It was something an ordinary man could never imagine to obtain in their entire lifetime. So he couldn't renounce it so easily.

"Jiang Xiu, you must have noticed that I don't like you."

Jiang Xiu laughed coldly. In the past, these words had felt like a knife pricking into his heart.

Cheng Lingsu advised him again, "Think about it properly!"

"Forced love doesn't last. You're also an adult, so you ought to understand this. If you're anxious about compensation, feel relieved. You know my father, he would never mistreat your family. He'll make sure to guarantee that your parents can pass their days in leisure. Uncle and Aunt also wouldn't have to work so arduously by selling fruits."

The waiter brought the meal. The fillet steak was imported directly from France. Tonight, Jiang Xiu was planning to perform Bloodline Awakening, which will use up a lot of his physical strength, so eating steak for dinner was very suitable.

The Myriad Dao of Immortal Cultivation had True Cultivators, Qi Refiners, Spell Users, The Ying-Yang School… and several many sorts of other paths, but all of them needed spiritual force to form the foundation of cultivation. But there wasn't any spiritual qi in his hometown so he could only take a shortcut, and arouse and awaken the potential hidden within the bloodline to let it mature steadily.

This form of cultivation was known as Divinity Cultivation!

According to legend, humans were God's descendants, and hence each human possessed a divine bloodline. It's just that after the passing of several eras, the bloodline had become very thin. And Divinity Cultivation was the process of bringing out this potential inside the bloodline and strengthening it step by step. This method relied on natural talent more than anything else.

The first stage was the Awakened Stage. It had a total of 9 Mythical realms. In the case the Bloodline Awakening was successful, that was the birth of a unique existence, a unique race - it wouldn't be wrong to even refer to it as the Divine Race. Even a single movement of the hands or legs would contain immeasurable force and fast speed. After awakening to the later stages, flying, teleportation and even weather manipulation such as controlling the wind, clouds, fire and summoning thunder, all such things were possible.

Jiang Xiu himself was very curious about his own innate bloodline skill and about which of the Divine Race's inheritance he would receive. It was also possible for them to mix up and form one kind of an all-new Divine Race.

Cheng Lingsu asked, "Have you thought it over?"

Jiang Xiu said, "My words remain unchanged. This Deity doesn't want to!"

Cheng Lingsu got extremely angry, "Jiang Xiu. Don't hope for my father to help you when you get imprisoned then. Though it's quite unfortunate, let me inform you that my father has gone abroad and won't return for another 6 months. By that time, you'll already be in prison."

Jiang Xiu smiled weakly, "Is that so?"

He believed Cheng Lingsu's words. Papa Cheng would often go abroad, and according to what he'd deduced about the current period, Cheng family was currently busy with the affairs of the city, so the probability of Papa Su being abroad was pretty high.

And as for that self-interested mother of Cheng Lingsu, she was very eager to remove the Engagement between him and her daughter.

"We're in 12th Grade now." Cheng Lingsu said. "If you go to prison at this time, you'd miss the college entrance examination. 3-5 years later when you get out, others would have already graduated from college while you'll be carrying the infamy of a criminal on your back. What prospects will you have left then?"

"Don't let your emotions affect your decision and think about it properly…"

Jiang Xiu nodded as he listened. If he had happened to run into this matter in the previous timeline, he'd have compromised long ago.

"Your words indeed make sense. Alright. This Deity shall agree to rescind the Engagement."

Cheng Lingsu was overjoyed at hearing this good news. "Really?"

Indeed, any person will choose to compromise when facing imprisonment.

Jiang Xiu nodded, "No matter what we are also considered as a couple…" Saying so, he brought the bag out from below the table and placed it on top, "You only need to do one thing for this Deity!"

Cheng Lingsu asked doubtfully, "What's this?"

She pulled the zipper open, and lo and behold, the bag was filled with stinky clothes. Cheng Lingsu had almost lost consciousness from the smell and quickly covered her nose and mouth. She snarled, "Jiang Xiu, are you playing with me?"

"Do my laundry! You've never done anything for this Deity. This can be regarded as the final duty you will fulfil as my fiancée," Jiang Xiu said.

Hearing Jiang Xiu's words, Cheng Lingsu was slightly moved. If I think about it, this betrothal was set in our childhood and even this layer of the relationship was going to end soon. I've really never done anything for him. Doing his laundry once is nothing!

"Alright, I promise you."

"Waiter, bring another fillet steak. No, make it two, make them a takeaway!" Jiang Xiu said. Tonight, he wanted to awaken his bloodline, and it needed a lot of energy so he'd feel quite hungry at that time.

Cheng Lingsu returned home. Her family ran a real estate business, so naturally, the villa she lived in was a gorgeous first-class one. It was majestic from the outside and delicate inside.

"Second Lady, that laundry, let me help you." Noticing Cheng Lingsu loiter on the balcony, the servant, Aunt Wu rushed over.

"No. I'll be doing the laundry for these clothes this time," Cheng Lingsu said sternly.

"Second Lady, you've never done laundry before."

"Please let me do it."

"This time is different. This is an end, and also a new beginning. After washing these clothes, I'll finally break away from him," Cheng Lingsu replied happily.

The servant Aunt Wu couldn't make sense of what Cheng Lingsu was speaking about, so she persisted and asked her, "Then, Second Lady, are you planning to use the washing machine or washing them using your hands?"

Cheng Lingsu muttered to herself, "Hand-wash."

Jiang Xiu, see how benevolent I am towards you.

"What?"

A graceful woman wearing expensive clothes heard the noise and came over. The servant Aunt Wu explained it to her, "Madam, Second Lady is adamant about doing laundry herself."

This beautiful woman was none other than Cheng Lingsu's birth mother, Sun Xiaohong. She was very astonished. Her daughter had always lived a pampered life, so she asked her about it. "Susu, what are you doing? How come you are so obedient today?"

When her line of sight fell onto those dirty clothes, she was even more shocked. Those were a schoolboy's clothes and were also pretty worn-out. My daughter's doing laundry for a schoolboy? Her complexion changed colours. Even she, her own mother, had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, "Whose clothes are these?"

"Jiang Xiu's."

Sun Xiaohong's eyes almost popped out. "What?! Jiang Xiu's? Are you certain? Why are you doing his laundry…"

"Mom!" Cheng Lingsu hugged her mother's arm."Jiang Xiu promised me that he'll rescind our Engagement," she said happily.

"What? What did you say? Jiang Xiu promised to rescind the betrothal engagement?!" said Sun Xiaohong. "How can that be possible? Has the Jiang family become imbeciles?"

Cheng Lingsu explained the course of events to Sun Xiaohong once. Sun Xiaohong was extremely happy. She was the one who fought against this marriage the most at this home and had quarrelled with Cheng Hanlin several times because of this matter, but he was too insistent on it. "Very good. The evils we bring ourselves are the hardest to bear. Confronting imprisonment, how could his Jiang family not compromise."

"Alright. We won't need to worry about this poor son-in-law from Jiang family anymore."

She immediately added, "Only, this matter is really a bit inconvenient, or to say not enough. Only after Jiang Xiu writes a pledge will we help him settle the matter of attacking that man."

"If he doesn't sign, there's no need for us to act."

Cheng Lingsu giggled. "I understand, Mom."

Sun Xiaohong pulled her daughter's hand which was moistened with laundry liquid, "This brat's previous eight generations must have accumulated a lot of virtue, he actually had the fortune of having his clothes washed by my darling daughter."
