Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld

"It’s been more than two months now."

Wang Family.

A middle-aged man lowered his eyebrows, muttering:

"Still can’t get in touch. There’s no signal on Kunlun Mountain. Are we sure he hasn’t gone somewhere else?"

"It’s something that can’t be helped if that person doesn’t respond." Wang Zixi sat upright in the main seat, her voice flat:

"Everyone has their fate; life and death are decided by heaven. The Grandmaster has lived over ninety years, it’s a good death."

"You..." The middle-aged man looked angry but dared not vent his anger at the patriarch, so he said sullenly:

"If that person were willing to take action, grandfather wouldn’t have to die."

"Hmph!"

Wang Zixi snorted coldly:

"The Cui Family has a better relationship than us, yet when Mr. Cui Sr. was critically ill, that person also stood idly by."

"Why would he save the Grandmaster?"

"It’s different!" The middle-aged man clenched his hands, gritting his teeth:

"Mr. Cui Sr. had lived enough, didn’t want to waste a favor just to live a few more years."

"My grandfather..."

"Your grandfather’s life isn’t worth a favor either!" Wang Zixi interrupted him with a cold voice as she waved her hand:

"Wang Kang, you should be very clear that it isn’t worthwhile for that person to save an elderly man nearing a hundred."

"Even Grandmaster Wang is the same."

"Bang!"

Wang Kang’s face showed anger as he slammed the table and stood up:

"Wang Zixi, don’t forget how you got to be the patriarch. Without my grandfather, could you sit firmly?"

"I have always remembered the Grandmaster’s kindness." Wang Zixi lowered her eyebrows:

"But let’s be pragmatic..."

"Enough!"

Wang Kang roared:

"No need to waste the Wang Family’s favor, I’ll go find that person myself. We’ll see about the next patriarch election."

With that said, he swung his large sleeve and turned to leave.

"Wang Kang."

Wang Zixi did not become angry, she only said calmly:

"Don’t anger the one on the mountain, you should remember the Zhou Family’s fate. Don’t blame me for being ruthless then."

"Thud..."

Wang Kang’s step paused briefly, then he strode forward.

Xue Rong tore open the packaged food, broke off a small piece, and mixed it thoroughly with hot water.

Before long.

A small pot of piping hot porridge was ready.

"Hmm."

She sniffed it lightly, satisfaction on her face:

"Not bad, there’s even a hint of wheat aroma."

"Just such a small piece is enough for two days, it seems I won’t have to worry about food for the next month."

Actually, if consumed sparingly, it could last two months.

"Come!"

Xue Rong brought a small bowl to Fang Zheng’s side:

"I’ll feed you."

"You didn’t have to rush back so quickly." Fang Zheng let himself be helped up, speaking slowly:

"Three days for a round trip is normal. For you to do it in just over two days was a bit rushed."

"I was worried you’d starve to death." Xue Rong rolled her eyes:

"Ungrateful."

"Although, I didn’t expect that after being away for just over two days, not only are you not starved, you seem to be much better."

As she spoke, she carefully examined Fang Zheng.

Compared to when they first moved into the cave, Fang Zheng’s face was much more rosy now, more like a living person.

Back then...

His face was pale, pulse weak, heartbeat barely there, as if a gust of wind could extinguish the fire of life.

"In the cracks of the window a cautious tiger roams, in front of the steps the sluggish snail lingers. In the stillness, I observe the world’s wonders, a fleeting joy leading to a lifetime of wisdom."

Fang Zheng softly chanted, speaking slowly:

"With force spreading throughout the body, pressing the back against the wall, moving with elbow strength upon the wall, going up, down, left, and right at will, like a house gecko roaming on the wall."

"Have you ever heard of a martial arts called the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill?"

"Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill?" Xue Rong was stunned, then laughed:

"Are you saying you know martial arts?"

"In my current state, I’m afraid it would take another two or three years to see any improvement, and it certainly won’t work here." Fang Zheng spoke. Though he’s indifferent to the quality of life, some things are indispensable. Then he said:

"You have to take me up to the cave mansion on the mountain."

"Eh!"

Xue Rong blinked:

"It’s very steep there. I struggle to climb by myself, let alone take a living person with me."

"I’ll teach you." Fang Zheng lowered his eyebrows:

"I’ve lived on the mountain for years, certainly, I have some tips on how to climb. Once you learn, you can take me up."

"Well..." Xue Rong rubbed her chin, sounding skeptical:

"Can you do it?"

"Heh..." Fang Zheng chuckled softly:

"Let’s try it first, it doesn’t cost anything."

"Alright then."

Xue Rong sighed:

"Tell me, how to climb up, or teach me that Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill you mentioned?"

She grinned as she spoke.

Martial arts?

What a joke!

......

Several days later.

Xue Rong stepped on the rocky ground, her body twisting like a long snake, leaping upwards, lightly pressing her hands on the rock wall, and sliding to the side.

The Gecko Skill, also known as the Long Snake Skill.

When mastered, it’s as if the whole body has grown hands, easily adhering to the smooth rock.

Climbing mountains and rocks with agility.

"Thud!"

She flipped back to the ground, surprised, looking up at where she had climbed, eyes full of bewilderment.

Was that...

Something she really did?

Full of thoughts, she returned to the cave, glancing at Fang Zheng who was sitting in the corner Nourishing the Spirit, wanting to speak but hesitating.

In the dead of night.

Unable to sleep, Xue Rong suddenly sat up, saying:

"Are you awake?"

"Speak."

"Do you really know martial arts?"

"Heh..." Fang Zheng opened his eyes, looking at the complex expression on Xue Rong’s face, speaking slowly:

"Haven’t you practiced too?"

"It’s not the same." Xue Rong shook her head:

"What I did was exercise the body, practice casually, learn some Sanda techniques, it’s not the same as what you taught."

In just a few days, she easily climbed peaks that had always required professional equipment.

The methods of Force Manipulation and exerting strength were inconceivable.

Not just wall-climbing.

She tried using it in punching and kicking, and it was significantly stronger than before.

As a novice, she might not be weaker than a professional female boxer.

Moreover,

She felt that as she practiced the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill, her own physique seemed to be improving.

"Well."

Fang Zheng did not deny it:

"I know a little."

"Then..." Xue Rong crept closer, her face ingratiatingly:

"Can you teach me?"

"You can’t move anyway; I have to attend to your eating, drinking, and everything else. Teaching me martial arts isn’t too much to ask, right?"

"Not at all." Fang Zheng sighed:

"First, you need to master the Gecko Wall-Climbing Skill. After you can take me up the mountain, then we’ll talk."

"Alright, alright." Xue Rong nodded repeatedly, then remembered something, furrowing her brow:

"Why haven’t you... gone to the bathroom?"

"It’s been days without pooping or peeing, haven’t things down there blocked up?"

"..." Fang Zheng was speechless for a moment, then explained:

"I’ve cultivated the Grain Avoidance Technique, eat little, digest well, naturally avoiding common troubles."

"Ah!"

Xue Rong exclaimed in surprise, pondering for a while before saying:

"Can it make a woman stop menstruating? I didn’t bring enough sanitary pads."
