Star Odyssey Chapter 1354: White Mountain Library

Chapter 1354: White Mountain Library

Lu Yin himself was very satisfied with his results. He needed to absorb a much larger amount of star energy than other cultivators to complete each cycle, so he considered it to be quite good for him to be able to complete all the way to his 16th cycle in one go.

However, Lu Yin did not explain anything about this to Long Xi.

This night would change their relations.h.i.+p from two strangers to a husband and wife, and more optimistically, a couple.

A few days pa.s.sed in peace. From the night that he had completed his 16th cycle, Lu Yin had been constantly replenis.h.i.+ng his body’s star energy reserves. The power of the Python Ancestor had raised his cultivation, but he still needed to fill his newly expanded reserves with star energy.

Long Xi was very generous and she had simply given Lu Yin 200,000 star essence, though this was not much, from her perspective as the princess of the White Dragon Clan. An ordinary person's 16th cycle would take about 30,000 star essence at the very most, and she had given Lu Yin 200,000, which should be enough for Lu Yin to cultivate all the way until he was an Enlighter.

"In the future, I’ll give you some resources every month. As the son-in-law of my White Dragon Clan’s main family, you can’t be too weak." Long Xi's words still echoed in Lu Yin's ears. He looked at his brand-new cosmic ring. It was an empty ring that was another gift from Long Xi. In a dismissive tone, she had asked Lu Yin to replace his cosmic ring with one that she a.s.sumed to be much bigger.

Lu Yin could not understand where the girl got her confidence; the ring she had given him did not have even a tenth of the s.p.a.ce as the ring he had been using. And as for the star essence, how would there be any left? 200,000 star essence had not been enough for him to complete a full cycle even when he had been a Cruiser. After completing his 16th cycle, he needed 5.3 million star essence to complete his next cycle.

Saying such a thing out loud would scare that girl stupid. Not even her White Dragon Clan’s top elites would need so much to complete their 16th cycle!

Lu Yin stared up at the cky. He saw planet-sized mountains that had waterfalls hanging off of them, and he occasionally saw ma.s.sive creatures wander about.

Every mountain in this place was inhabited, and would have no less than a billion of people living on it. Some of the mountains had even developed civilizations that had taken alternate paths. Some wished to leave their mountain world and go to a higher world, but they did not know what awaited them after leaving their mountains. They would be destined to be enslaved by the White Dragon Clan.

The saddest thing in a person’s life was to work hard to reach the end, only to find that they had only reached the very beginning.

Lu Yin had not seen anyone for these few days, and the only one who had come around had been Xiao Qian, but unfortunately Lu Yin, Xiao Qian did not pay almost any attention to him.

"Someone is here, so let's go back," Xiao Qian said as a group of people walked by some distance away.

Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "What’s this about? I can’t even see people? Can I not go out either?”

Xiao Qian pursed her lips. She wanted to say that what he said was right, but he was still the clan’s son-in-law, even if he was a useless one, and she could not afford to show any arrogance. "The princess has a life, and you cannot see outsiders."

Lu Yin sighed. Forget it. There was no need to cause problems before he was familiar with this place, so he followed Xiao Qian to leave the area.

The group of people had spotted Lu Yin from a distance and they immediately moved to chase him.

Lu Yin turned around and saw a young man leading the group. There was mockery and killing intent in the eyes that were staring at Lu Yin.

Xiao Qian's expression instantly changed. "Please, let's go!"

It was a pity that she was already too late. The young man leading the group was extremely fast and was moving quickly. He walked directly in front of Lu Yin and Xiao Qian by using some strange footwork and forced them to stop. "Look at who it is? He’s not from our White Dragon Clan. Could this be Princess Long Xi’s husband? Haha!"

Xiao Qian's expression grew ugly. "Young Master Zhang, my mistress’s husband is returning, so please do not block us."

The young man focused his sharp eyes onto Xiao Qian. "Is there any reason for you, some cheap servant, to speak up when I’m speaking?"

Xiao Qian frowned. "I wouldn’t dare, but the princess ordered me to take my mistress’s husband

back."

The young man sneered and looked back at Lu Yin in a teasing manner. "Do you want to go back?"

At this time, the group of people who had been chasing after them somewhat surrounded Lu Yin and Xiao Qian.

Lu Yin casually answered, "Yes."

The young man laughed, and the rest of the group of people also laughed.

Lu Yin frowned. where did such a neuropathic group come from?

"Did you hear that? Our darling son-in-law is going home." The young man laughed.

The rest of his group also laughed heartily.

Xiao Qian's face went pale. "Young Master Zhang, please don’t block our path."

Lu Yin did not say a single word. There was no one in this group of people who could pose any sort of threat to him. Even if Young Master Zhang who was right in front of him was a peak Hunter, Lu Yin was not concerned at all. Listening to the conversation, he was quickly able to understand his current situation.

Young Master Zhang completely ignored Xiao Qian and looked at Lu Yin. "You’re from the Dalian Mountain branch, right? After burning incense and praying to our ancestors, you miraculously were able to enter the main line of the clan, but remember that you are nothing but a useless son-in-law! See you later. The next time you see me, you have to greet me first and then get lost from my sight immediately, you hear me?"

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed; this kid needed to be beaten.

At this moment, a voice was heard from the distance, "Long Zhang, who are you wanting to salute? Would you like this princess to salute you as well?"

Long Xi was speaking from a distance.

When Long Zhang and the others heard the princess’s voice, their expressions all changed and they turned around.

Long Xi then showed herself, and everyone in the group was stunned by her beautiful appearance. Long Zhang was actually a bit obsessed with the princess, and the stronger his obsession grew, the stronger his jealousy and hatred for Lu Yin. How could such a piece of trash end up with Princess Long Xi? She was a treasure of the Higher Realm! Even if her appearance was not taken into account, just her status as princess of the White Dragon Clan was enough to drive everyone crazy.

Even the Celestial Frost Sect’s Bai Shaozu had wanted to win her, yet she had ended up with a piece of trash.

"Princess" Xiao Qian saluted.

When Long Xi arrived, she glanced over at Lu Yin. Her expression turned bland, and she looked back at Long Zhang. "You are becoming more and more presumptuous."

Long Zhang sneered, "Princess, maybe you’re too close to see it, but a piece of trash from a branch family is simply an insult to you."

"I gave you a chance back then," Long Xi casually retorted.

Long Zhang's expression instantly changed, and he felt both regret and hatred from the bottom of his heart. He had long dreamed of getting Long Xi, but there were people behind him who were aware of the situation, so how could he dare respond?

"What are you doing here?" Long Xi asked.

Long Zhang said, "I wanted to congratulate the princess on her marriage, and I also wished to ask the clan’s new son-in-law for advice."

Long Xi's voice grew colder. "There’s no need. Go back."

"Princess-" Long Zhang did not give up.

Long Xi's eyes turned glacial and she suddenly lashed out. Five of the token-shaped pieces of metal instantly trapped Long Zhang, shocking him. "White Dragon Surveying the Sky?"

After he spoke, Long Xi’s hand shot past the revolving pieces of metal to land on Long Zhang's chest. He vomited blood and tumbled through the sky before cras.h.i.+ng into the mountain.

The people in his group rushed over to help him.

Long Xi looked down at him. "This was just a lesson. If you dare to antagonize my husband in the future, I will decide your life and death."

After finis.h.i.+ng speaking, she turned to look at Lu Yin. "Go back."

Lu Yin shuddered; what a fierce woman.

Xiao Qian’s anger had been relieved, so she smiled and gestured for Lu Yin to follow her. "Let’s go, please?"

Lu Yin pursed his lips and followed behind Long Xi as they left the mountain.

Down at the foot of the mountain, the metal that had trapped Long Zhang disappeared. He angrily slapped the ground, his eyes filled with anger and killing intent. Still, he did not dare say a word. Long Xi's status was far above his, and she could kill him.

He knew the woman well, and she would do it.

"’Let's go, please’? How long will he live?" Long Zhang whispered. He glared off into the distance before leading his group away.

Elsewhere, Lu Yin returned to the bamboo hut. He liked the area, and no one disturbed him since it was very remote.

Long Xi glanced at him. "This sort of thing will happen more often in the future. If you don't want to be bullied by others, just train hard."

Lu Yin snorted, but then looked at Long Xi with curiosity. "What was that battle technique you used just now?"

Long Xi explained, "White Dragon Surveying the Sky. Even when facing an opponent far above my cultivation level, I can still trap them and leave them unable to resist. This is an inherited technique of my White Dragon Clan."

"Long Zhang can't use it?" Lu Yin asked.

Long Xi shook her head. "Not everyone is able to learn it, and not everyone qualifies to even try. He is not a member of the main family, so at best he can train the Roving White Dragon."

Lu Yin grew interested. "Roving White Dragon? Is it good? Could I learn it? What about White Dragon Surveying the Sky."

Long Xi stared off into the distance. "You can try to learn it, but it would be difficult for you to comprehend. Long Zhang took more than ten years to comprehend the Roving White Dragon, and if you wish to train in the technique as well, you will need at least ten years."

"So it can be learned without the blood of the White Dragon Clan," Lu Yin happily observed.

Long Xi frowned and glared at Lu Yin. "Remember, never say those words again! The blood essence I gave you is enough to prevent you from being seen through for a while."

Lu Yin quickly agreed. The woman had a bad temper.

Long Xi was in an irritable mood. The truth was that Long Zhang had provoked Lu Yin before she had interfered. She had shown up, but had not revealed herself, and so she had seen Lu Yin’s submissive att.i.tude and his reluctance to speak up against Long Zhang.

It was possible that she had hoped to see Lu Yin bravely resist and not merely put on a bold front when with her. That was how a man should behave, and he was the man who would be with her for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, she ended up disappointed. This man was afraid of others. He had only dared to speak up a few words, and only against her. Such a man would never be useful.

"There will be more people in the area soon, so don't go out," Long Xi said.

Lu Yin did not object. "It's too boring being here all alone, so get some books for me to read."

Long Xi grew sullen. "Don’t you know how to cultivate?"

What could Lu Yin say? Cultivate? He had never stopped improving, but would he dare to actually cultivate in a place like this? All he could do was recite the full Stonewall Scriptures. He did not dare release his domain or his spiritual force, as either one would expose him and incite an investigation.

"Have Xiao Qian take you to the library. For the time being, stay there and don't go out until I let you know." The longer Long Xi looked at Lu Yin, the more upset she became, so she simply turned around and left without looking back.

Although this person was just a replacement chosen in order to allow her to deal with the Celestial Frost Sect, she also hoped that her replacement would be ambitious. Unfortunately, he was proving more and more of a disappointment.

…

After receiving Long Xi's order, Xiao Qian led Lu Yin to White Mountain Library.

Human civilization was always inseparable from inheritances, and if there was inheritance, there would have to be a collection of writing. No matter if one were an ordinary person or one of the four ruling powers like the White Dragon Clan, the more books they managed to gather, the better.

White Mountain Library was ma.s.sive. "There are at least hundreds of millions of books in this bookstore. Is this enough for you to read?" Xiao Qian asked in a monotone.

Seeing the place and hoping to read until he was satisfied, Lu Yin merely glanced at the girl. "Thank you."
