Chapter 204: Chapter 12: The Lady... Got Angry
...
But at this moment, neither the Liua Family nor the Wang Family was truly worried about Liua Ruolan.
With Liua Ruolan’s strength, dealing with this small Demon Puppet was as easy as a breeze.
As expected.
Facing the fierce momentum of the Demon Puppet.
Liua Ruolan executed the swordsmanship supporting the Profound Water True Technique—[Profound Water Sword Technique].
This swordsmanship, appearing soft and light, drew streaks of water-blue light as the sword aura danced, looking very appealing. In reality, it was profound and mysterious, seemingly gentle but hiding deadly killing moves.
Often, when you least expect it, a fatal blow erupts in an instant.
As expected, after just a dozen moves.
The Profound Water Sword Technique suddenly erupted, pulling out a stream of water-blue light. Amidst the gorgeous sword aura, the head of the Demon Puppet flew off.
Even in death, the Demon Puppet seemed not to realize why its head suddenly relocated.
"My darling, what excellent swordsmanship." Wang Shouzhe cheered loudly from below the platform.
His other siblings and nieces also joined in the applause one after another, as if Liua Ruolan was a revered Sword God.
It seemed these children were quite clear-headed, knowing exactly who was at the top of the food chain in the family.
Only Ancestor Xuanfu furrowed her brow repeatedly, constantly sighing in her heart.
With her great-great-niece’s talent as a Celestial Pride, dealing with this small Demon Puppet should have taken at most three moves. Yet, she dragged it out for over a dozen moves.
Truly spoiled by that brat, she lacked the unmatched aura of a true Celestial Pride.
Feeling discontent, Ancestor Xuanfu glared viciously at Wang Shouzhe.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shouzhe paid her no mind and went straight up to the Trial Platform, expressing concern for his wife: "Ruolan, you’ve worked too hard, are you tired? Have some Ice Crystal Water first, and take a break."
Then, Wang Shouzhe courteously massaged her shoulders and arms, as if Liua Ruolan was truly exhausted.
"Not hard at all, I’m just happy to do something for my husband." Liua Ruolan sweetly smiled, seemingly quite enjoying it.
They rested for a whole incense stick of time. Only then did Liua Ruolan begin the second battle.
This battle, too, was naturally without any risk.
The only issue was that two incense sticks later, she slowly ground down the two Demon Ghosts.
As Wang Shouzhe advised her before the match.
Liua Ruolan persistently followed her husband’s advice, preferring to fight slowly and making sure not to get injured, lest her husband be heartbroken.
A welcoming roar of praise naturally ensued. Titles like "Invincible Fourth Sister-in-law, Mighty Fourth Aunt" filled the air.
Wang Shouzhe naturally didn’t miss the chance to demonstrate loyalty.
He ran up again, wiping off the nonexistent fragrant sweat, fanning her, showing great concern.
"Husband, should we use the reward of [Basic Bloodline Improvement Liquid] for An’an?" Liua Ruolan proposed gently, "I estimate that child’s talent isn’t too great, perhaps just a tad better than my older brother, barely reaching the level of Middle Grade D."
The couple showcased their affection publicly.
But Liua Yuanhui was sweating all over.
My dear sister, how could you say that about your older brother?
I, Liua Yuanhui, am at least a Lower Grade A talent, which is considered quite good among Noble Family disciples.
Yet, he could not refute, since compared to his Innate Daoist Embryo Spirit Species sister, his talent was insignificant.
For Liua Ruolan’s proposal, Wang Shouzhe shook his head: "An’an is still young and will have his own opportunities in the future. Besides, the Wang Family is becoming stronger; basic resources will not be lacking for him. If he wants to advance further, he can strive and fight for it himself."
"Dear, you have never taken any Talent Enhancement Medicine before. This Bloodline Improvement Liquid might not elevate you to a higher level but it can pave the way for your further progress. Moreover, only by becoming stronger can we provide a better haven for the children."
This Basic Bloodline Improvement Liquid should have some effect on Ruolan.
"Husband, what you say makes sense, I’ll listen to you." Liua Ruolan said gracefully.
Her husband pampered her greatly, but once he made serious requests, they were mostly reasonable, and she would comply.
Of course, for those less serious demands, they needed to be carefully considered...
Afterward, Liua Ruolan began her third match.
The difficulty of this third match could not be compared—facing three at once, even Liua Ruolan struggled.
Only by exchanging injuries for injuries and fighting to the death could she hope to quickly end the battle. Yet Liua Ruolan staunchly adhered to her husband’s wishes, resolutely adopting a conservative approach, preferring to take it slow and steady.
As a result, this battle dragged on endlessly.
Fortunately, [Profound Water True Technique] is an advanced version of the Primordial Water Technique.
This cultivation technique excels at dragging out the pace and employing grinding tactics, where the longer it stretches, the weaker the enemy becomes.
Therefore, despite the prolonged battle, Liua Ruolan gradually gained control of the situation.
Half an hour later, the first Demon Puppet perished.
Only then did she gain a decisive advantage, quickly eliminating them one by one. Those watching were nearly put to sleep by this passionless battle.
"Mighty wife, formidable wife."
Only Wang Shouzhe continued to cheer, rushing forward with a tide of praise.
At this point, the Artifact Spirit said, "Congratulations on passing the third trial, Elite Militia Liua Ruolan. You will be rewarded with a Standard Weapon and be granted the title of Warrior. Since it’s detected that you use long sword-type weapons, do you choose a long sword-type Standard Weapon?"
