Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6849

Chapter 6758: Adorable Lian’er

Li Tianming turned to face Li Tianyang from Li Muyun’s side.

He picked up the two Cosmic God Origins and said, “I almost forgot, Imperial Tutor Li! Here!” He

then tossed the two Cosmic God Origins towards Li Tianyang.

A familiar, but faint, aura emanated from these two Cosmic God Origins.

“Li… Imperial Tutor Li…”

came the voice from the Cosmic God Origins, extremely weak, as if the light of the entire Cosmic God Origin might be extinguished at any moment.

Li Tianyang finally realized what had happened.

For the first time, a look of furious rage appeared on his face.

“Li! Tian! Ming! How could you be so ruthless to your fellow disciple!” Li Tianyang’s face was twisted in extreme anger, a fury he had never shown before!

Before he could finish speaking, he unleashed a palm strike!

The gray phantom formed by this palm strike blotted out the sky, causing the space itself to tremble!

If it struck, it would naturally annihilate the Cosmic God Origins along with them!

Li Tianming’s World Planet was already poised to strike; after all, he had already left the Young Emperor Tower and originally intended to return to the Burning Spirit Realm!

However, at this moment, a beam of emerald light, forming a semi-circular barrier, slowly rose behind Li Tianming.

“If you want to touch him, you’ll have to get past me first!”

A soft yet firm voice rang out.

Boom!!

This palm strike, seemingly capable of destroying space, landed on the emerald barrier without even a ripple.

“Within the Young Emperor Tower, fair competition is the norm! Your own disciple is weak, yet you vent your anger on mine—truly despicable!” “

Moreover, you attacked without even knowing the facts. What if your disciple was tortured by villains and rescued by Li Tianming?”

“Such a life-saving grace, and instead of gratitude, you attacked me!”

Li Muyun could no longer tolerate it; she had endured it for so many years!

Recently, she heard that Li Zongyuan had stopped showing himself, claiming he was in seclusion.

Many people thought it was nothing unusual, even showing more respect for Li Tianming, believing that Li Zongyuan had achieved some enlightenment and was about to reach a higher level of cultivation.

But was that really the case?

Li Muyun believed he was most likely already dead!

Now, Li Tianming and his powerful backers presented her and her son with an opportunity to escape oppression!

How could she allow Li Tianyang to kill Li Tianming?

“Imperial Tutor Li Tianyang, as an Imperial Tutor, you dare to attempt to kill a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect in front of the Ink Feather Young Emperor Tower? Do you not respect the Ink Feather Tower Master?”

“Or is it that the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s prohibition against disciples killing each other fails to restrain you, the high and mighty Imperial Tutor?”

Li Tianming smiled, using the sect’s rules to exert pressure with every word, showing no fear in the face of the other’s sinister gaze.

This nonchalant demeanor only fueled Li Tianyang’s rage!

But what could he do?

He had a sure victory by suddenly attacking, but Li Muyun was already prepared.

Having known him for so many years, she knew Li Tianyang’s character well.

Relying on his immense power, he had harmed countless geniuses and ruined countless female disciples!

Li Tianyang’s attack came suddenly in a fit of rage, but Li Muyun was prepared to respond at any moment!

Li Tianyang finally pointed at Li Tianming and Li Muyun, saying “Good!” three times.

“Li Tianming, the Heavenly Emperor Sect is too vast. Be careful where you can and can’t go. Pay close attention to your safety, lest you die in some unknown corner one day!”

“And you, Li Muyun, since you like protecting Li Tianming so much, then keep a close eye on your Lian’er, lest she suddenly disappear one day and reappear looking for you with a big belly?”

Li Tianyang said harshly, then turned and left.

The pressure of his Dao Ancestor aura hadn’t dissipated, forcing the passing disciples to disperse.

Li Muyun’s face paled slightly; she still felt a natural fear when he mentioned Lian’er.

“Master Li, thank you for protecting me. This disciple is deeply grateful,” Li Tianming said thank you.

Although Li Tianming wasn’t afraid of a sudden attack, Li Muyun had completely broken ties with Li Tianyang to protect him!

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions!

This kindness deeply moved Li Tianming.

Her petite figure, dressed in a green ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), had already stood before him twice!

Li Muyun had already withdrawn the aura she had displayed earlier, but a trace of worry still lingered on her face. She waved her hand and said, “My relationship with him is inherently irreconcilable. I’m doing this not only for you, but also for myself. I’ve been weak for so many years; I don’t want to be weak anymore!”

“Imperial Tutor Li, I have now obtained the first level of the ‘Emperor’s Inheritance’ and have gained some understanding. I will take my leave now and return to my residence in Muyun Palace to consolidate my gains,” Li Tianming said.

Li Muyun pursed her lips and said, “I’ll go with you. I was going to go back anyway, and besides, I’m afraid you’ll be persecuted by this treacherous villain on your way back to Muyun Palace.”

“He has such audacity?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

“If a cornered dog jumps over the wall, who knows?”

“Indeed, then thank you for protecting me, Imperial Tutor Li.”

…

On the way back to Muyun Palace.

After sensing Li Tianming’s transformed aura, Li Muyun knew he had passed the first trial.

“Tianming, how much of the ‘Emperor’s Inheritance’ have you grasped?” Li Muyun asked curiously.

“I’ve grasped ten. It was slow at first, but it got faster as the Emperor’s Path improved,” Li Tianming replied casually.

“Ten… truly a genius! To grasp ten percent is already a testament to the potential of a Great Emperor’s disciple,” Li Muyun said admiringly.

“…”

“Wait, you said ten? Ten Emperor’s Paths, not just one Emperor’s Path grasped to the fullest?”

Li Muyun’s beautiful eyes widened, her mouth gaping open, not just slightly open!

Li Tianming calmly nodded, “That’s right.”

Boom—!!

Those two words from Li Tianming exploded in Li Muyun’s mind, shattering her understanding and then reshaping it. From then on, the only geniuses in her eyes were Li Tianming and everyone else! *

Slap!

Slap!*

Li Muyun slapped her cheeks, feeling like she was about to faint.

What a prodigy she’d picked up during the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s disciple recruitment!

Of course, she didn’t doubt the truth of Li Tianming’s words!

Such a sincere, kind, and polite child would never lie to her!

“Emperor Li, calm down, this is normal for the ‘Sole Emperor’,” Li Tianming teased.

Along the way, Li Muyun was somewhat absent-minded, lost in thought.

Muyun Palace, arrived!

This colossal city, ten thousand light-years across the star system, still filled Li Tianming with awe as he stood before its gates once more.

As soon as the two entered the magnificent gates of Muyun Palace, a little girl in a light green dress, with a long braid tied behind her head, rushed towards them.

A gentle breeze ruffled her delicate cheeks, lifting the stray hairs from her forehead, and her braid swayed back and forth, making her appear very lively.

The little girl bumped directly into Li Muyun, who was already half-squatting down, burying her head in her broad chest.

“Mother! You brought Senior Brother Tianming back!”

the little girl exclaimed, her sweet, soft voice somewhat similar to Li Muyun’s, only more childlike.

“Alright, Lian’er, stop fooling around. Don’t let Senior Brother Tianming laugh at you,” Li Muyun said, gently stroking Lian’er’s head, not stopping her affectionate gesture, her face full of doting affection.

“What does it matter? I’m still a baby! The other Imperial Tutors’ children are probably still drinking milk at my age!” Lian’er huffed.

After saying that, she got out of Li Muyun’s arms, hugged Li Tianming’s arm, looked up at Li Tianming’s handsome profile, and said with a sparkling light in her eyes, “Senior Brother Tianming, my name is Li Mulian. I heard your story from my mother, and I admire you so much!”

“Really? How much do you admire me?”

She raised her hand to indicate the height in front of her eyes, then stood on tiptoe and raised her palm above her head. She still seemed unsatisfied, and finally, after asking for help, she had Li Muyun pick her up and gestured the height, saying, “This much admiration!”

Li Tianming couldn’t help but laugh.

“Senior Brother Tianming, can you be my friend?” Li Mulian got off Li Muyun and hugged Li Tianming’s arm with both hands.

“Of course, no problem.” Li Tianming smiled.

“Yay! From now on, Senior Brother Tianming is my friend. I’ll see who dares to bully me now! Whoever dares to bully me, I’ll make Senior Brother Tianming beat them to a pulp!” Li Mulian clapped her hands excitedly.

Because she only reached Li Tianming’s waist, she walked between the two of them. To observe Li Tianming closely, she hopped and skipped like a little rabbit, her braids swaying with each jump.

“What a lively little girl,” Aurora said with maternal affection.

However…

after seeing Li Muyun and Lian’er, whom Li Tianyang had mentioned, Li Tianming felt a surge of anger!

This was such a young and adorable child!

And Li Tianyang was constantly plotting to harm her—it was utterly beastly!
