Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 602

“Immortal Lord Ye, please~” Su Yinghuo sat down again, her voice sounding somewhat cold, hiding the frustration in her heart.

Ye Junlin lifted his cup and downed it in one go, a warm sensation spread through his body, indescribably comfortable.

But in terms of taste, it still couldn’t compare to the top-notch immortal wine Luo Qingwu had once given him—after all, that was brewed by an immortal wine master, truly a rarity in the world.

“Su Immortal Lord, has my disciple caused you any trouble during this time?” Ye Junlin asked, his gaze flickering.

He had just activated the master-disciple sensing feature and felt Bai Xiaoxi was nearby, so the worry in his heart eased. Still, he had to ask clearly.

Su Yinghuo’s expression softened, and she chuckled lightly, “No trouble at all. I really like this little girl. The food she makes is absolutely exquisite; I’ve never tasted such wonderful flavors before. I must say, you’re really lucky to have such a good disciple.”

Talking about Bai Xiaoxi, the Qingqiu Empress’s gaze was filled with softness, clearly quite pleased and fond of her.

Ye Junlin smiled, “Xiaoxi’s culinary skills are indeed excellent. I’ve become quite used to her cooking after these days without her.”

That was no lie; when Bai Xiaoxi was around, he had become quite picky with food, and everything he ate afterward was just to get by.

“Immortal Lord Ye, to be honest, I was quite surprised when I learned from her that you are her master,” Su Yinghuo said.

“This little girl is truly perfect in my eyes. Not only is her food delicious, but she also changes it up every day to satisfy my cravings. Most shocking is her unparalleled powerful constitution!”

As she spoke, Su Yinghuo’s tone was filled with envy and a hint of strong jealousy.

She had discovered that Bai Xiaoxi’s physique was remarkably strong, resembling the legendary “First Immortal Body” recorded in ancient texts—the Great Luo Immortal Body!

This kind of immortal body made cultivation as easy as drinking water. Even without deliberate effort, one’s cultivation level would soar effortlessly. It was the perfect constitution for cultivating immortality!

Even more astonishing was the explosive combat power that such a body unleashed; the more intense the emotional fluctuations, the greater the destructive power when striking.

I mean, how many cultivators dream of having a physique like this?

All along, Su Yinghuo had thought such a physique only existed in legends; little did she expect to encounter it in this manner one day!

And to top it off, the person with such a physique was just a cute little mouse who loved to cook and had no interest in battles!

Even Su Yinghuo found it hard to accept this reality.

If it were her, she wouldn’t just be the Empress of Qingqiu; she could become the Empress of the entire Immortal Realm!

She was confident she could suppress Tong Wudi, the so-called Invincible Immortal Emperor, and make him taste defeat.

Thus, Su Yinghuo felt it was a terrible waste.

Reluctant to let such a gem go unnoticed, during this time she had intentionally guided Bai Xiaoxi towards cultivation.

At the same time, out of curiosity, she wanted to see how far the Great Luo Immortal Body could be developed.

And it turned out—

Bai Xiaoxi didn’t disappoint her expectations; she first broke through to the Immortal Emperor level, and her cultivation soared afterward. Recently, she even broke through to the Immortal Sovereign level, racing towards the Immortal Emperor…

This speed was astounding, leaving Su Yinghuo dumbfounded, jealousy practically written all over her face!

“Immortal Lord Ye, you really know how to raise them! Your disciple here is almost a freaking Immortal Emperor; how did you manage that? Aren’t you going to invest any effort into nurturing someone with such great potential?”

Su Yinghuo’s tone seemed to boast, but deep down, it was secretly bitter.

She truly wished she could claim Bai Xiaoxi as her own!

Unfortunately, when she learned that Ye Junlin was in the North Cold Immortal Domain, Bai Xiaoxi couldn’t help but want to head out and find him.

No matter how hard she tried to persuade, this silly girl just wanted to be back by her master’s side.

With no other option, Su Yinghuo had to compromise, but she didn’t want Bai Xiaoxi to leave immediately; she notified Ye Junlin in the North Cold Immortal Domain to come personally.

That way, she could spend more time with Bai Xiaoxi!

“Cough, cough,”

Ye Junlin thick-skinnedly cleared his throat and said seriously:

“You don’t understand; this is called respecting my disciple’s choice. You see, it was Xiaoxi herself who told me she’s not interested in cultivation and fighting; she just wants to focus on researching food.”

Ye Junlin’s idea was simple. Each of his disciples had their roles defined clearly, and with him around, there was no enemy they couldn’t handle. Therefore, he was very tolerant of Bai Xiaoxi and allowed her to choose her own way of living.

But to Su Yinghuo, this sounded like a completely irresponsible excuse!

What nonsense?

With the First Immortal Body, instead of fighting hard to improve her cultivation and become invincible all over the world, she’d rather just be a chef and cook for others?

Su Yinghuo couldn’t understand this at all and didn’t approve of such teachings.

At that moment, a surprised and tender voice rang out.

“Master!”

As soon as the words fell, a silver-haired little girl in a pink apron, carrying an oversized black pot, rushed in.

Her gem-like eyes were pure and innocent, shining like stars, reflecting the graceful figure standing nearby.

“Xiaoxi, long time no see!” Ye Junlin smiled.

Bai Xiaoxi immediately tossed the giant black pot aside, shaking the ground as she did so.

She hurriedly dashed over and threw herself into Ye Junlin’s arms, sincerely saying:

“Master, I miss you so much~”

Ye Junlin gently patted Bai Xiaoxi’s head, his gaze softening, “I miss you too.”

Not far away, Canglang Jun looked puzzled and asked, “Little Black, is this for real?”

The Great Mushroom King’s eyes sparkled with joy as he replied, “Of course it’s real; after all, even the Master acknowledges her!”

On the other side.

Watching this silver-haired little girl snuggled up in Ye Junlin’s arms, Su Yinghuo felt quite displeased.

She once had such treatment too, but then she forced the other party to train hard, and such treatment disappeared…

Ye Junlin sensed the aura from Bai Xiaoxi, and his brow subtly raised.

Immortal Sovereign at the ninth level!

Looks like he really underestimated the benefits of the Great Luo Immortal Body; if it were someone with a bit of ambition, they would have long become an Immortal Emperor!

In reality, the reason Bai Xiaoxi’s cultivation soared so quickly wasn’t just the Great Luo Immortal Body; it was also thanks to the system offering her the Great Luo Dao Scripture. This cultivation technique was highly compatible with the Great Luo Immortal Body, and the two complemented each other, resulting in explosive cultivation effects.

Thus, Bai Xiaoxi began to work hard, and her cultivation took off like a rocket!

With such an astonishing speed, even Tong Wudi, the Child of Fortune in the Immortal Realm, would surely feel shaken!

“Little Black, grandfather, you’re all here!” Bai Xiaoxi noticed the two figures nearby and happily exclaimed.

“White Fairy, I’m so happy to see you back with Senior Ye.” Canglang Jun beamed.

He didn’t want to be picky any longer each day, trying hard to figure out how to make food taste even better.

With this top-tier immortal chef back, he could help out and lighten his burden!

“Senior Sister Bai, I was worried you might be bullied elsewhere; it seems my worries were unwarranted…” the Great Mushroom King scratched his head awkwardly.

He realized he couldn’t see through Senior Sister Bai’s cultivation at all, which left him feeling very frustrated.

Hearing this.

Su Yinghuo rolled her eyes.

Would a descendant of the Great Luo Immortal Body be bullied? Who would be stupid enough to try that?

“Black Junior Brother, thank you for your concern. Su Sister is really good to me; aside from forcing me to practice cultivation…” The more Bai Xiaoxi spoke, the smaller her voice became, ultimately stealing a glance at Su Yinghuo.

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, she became separated from everyone, and in her panic, she dove straight into the mountains seeking shelter, not realizing she had wandered into Qingqiu. At that moment, Su Yinghuo had coincidentally returned from the Immortal Court and casually brought her along to Qingqiu Nation.

At first, she was quite shy and tense, unfamiliar with this strange environment. But gradually, she adapted to life here, and to express her gratitude toward Su Yinghuo, she volunteered to use the ingredients she carried to whip up delicious dishes on the spot.

Unsurprisingly, she successfully won over Su Yinghuo’s taste buds, who grew quite fond of her and enjoyed having her around.

Until one day, Su Yinghuo looked at her differently and began forcing her to train daily.

If she didn’t listen, she wouldn’t even be allowed to cook!

Bai Xiaoxi felt wronged and could only be pushed to train hard, all while being dragged into battles against the top talents of Qingqiu Nation. Terrified of getting hurt, she had to defeat them all…

During these days, Bai Xiaoxi resisted this hellish training. She couldn’t understand why the people of the world had to fight; it was so violent and disharmonious.

Why not compete with culinary skills instead? Afterward, they could eat and drink together—safe and delicious!

So, even though her cultivation had improved, Bai Xiaoxi’s heart was still heavy, as she dearly missed the wonderful days spent with her master, where she could freely do what she wanted.

Now, seeing her master come from afar to pick her up, Bai Xiaoxi felt elated, like she had been liberated.

Watching this scene, Su Yinghuo ground her teeth, wishing she could reach out and pinch the cheeks of this silver-haired little girl to vent her frustration.

I’m making you train for your own good; why won’t you appreciate it?!

I’m truly at my wit’s end!
