On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"We should prepare for The main dish." Chen Tian said as he quickly knocked Yi Guo unconscious on the ground.

Yi Guo wasn't even able to react before he fell unconscious.

He then used his spiritual Qi to stop the man from bleeding to death.

"Don't die on me yet; I still have a lot of things prepared for you," Chen Tian muttered under his breath.

He then looked at the man in suit, who was also collapsed as the pain had rendered him unconscious.

Chen Tian smirked, satisfied with his work.

"So are you going to keep that kind of expression on your face?" Chen Tian suddenly asked, his voice filled with amusement.

"You kept a straight face the entire time I was dealing with these bugs; so now are you going to show some emotion?" He continued, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Sigh..." Only a soft sigh came out of the Butler mouth as he looked at Chen Tian in a grateful manner.

He didn't even try to hide his expression.

"Oh! You don't look that bothered after what I did to your master." Chen Tian said, raising an eyebrow.

"I expected more of a reaction from you; you're not even showing any kind of fear. Aren't you afraid that I will kill like I did with the other?"

"I'm not afraid; if I die today, that means it's this old man's fate." The head butler replied calmly.

'Interesting' Chen Tian smirked. "Well, you certainly have a lot of faith in fate. But let me assure you, I have no intention of killing you."

An answer that surprised the old man for a moment, as he had prepared himself for the worst.

He cautiously raised his head to meet Chen Tian's gaze, searching for any sign of deception.

Chen Tian's smirk remained, but there was a glimmer of curiosity in his eyes. "I have a proposition for you," Chen Tian continued.

"A proposition?" The head of the old man tilted slightly to the side, intrigued by this unexpected turn of events.

He had expected that his old life would come to an end today.

"Yes," Chen Tian said, nodding his head.

"But can you wait a little bit? I still have some business I need to attend to," Chen Tian said as he walked over to the man in the suit and kicked him lightly, just to make sure he was still alive.

"Alive, I see," Chen Tian muttered to himself.

"Well, since you didn't threaten my family, I will give you a merciful death."

A fire appeared on his palm as Chen Tian summoned a flame. The flames danced and crackled, illuminating the room.

With a swift flick of his wrist, Chen Tian launched the fiery ball towards the man in the suit, engulfing him in a blaze of destruction.

Chen Tian watched without a hint of remorse, satisfied that justice had been served.

As the flames subsided, all that remained was nothing but ash and the faint smell of burning flesh.

"Hm?"

After the corpse was burning, Chen Tian caught sight of a glimmering object amidst the ashes.

Curiosity piqued, and he carefully picked up the charred remains and discovered a small pendant that had somehow survived the intense heat.

"How did this pendant survive?" Chen Tian pondered in his mind, his curiosity growing stronger with each passing moment.

He examined the pendant closely.

The pendant was that of a flute carved out of a delicate jade stone. Its intricate details were still visible.

The pendant looked ordinary at first glance; even after Chen Tian used his spiritual sense to examine the pendant, it seemed ordinary.

"Impossible, something this ordinary would have been destroyed after I use my fire," Chen Tian muttered to himself, perplexed by the pendant's resilience.

The fire Chen Tian wasn't a normal fire, but the fire law

It had the ability to incinerate almost anything in its path.

Yet the pendant remained unscathed.

Chen Tian's curiosity grew, compelling him to delve deeper into the pendant's mystery.

As he was checking the pendant, he felt someone hold the tip of his clothes from behind.

Startled, Chen Tian quickly turned around to see who it was.

Standing and looking at him with her innocent eyes, the little girl was captured by the man in suit.

She tensed up, her small hand gripping the fabric tightly.

"Is this yours?" Chen Tian asked, extending his hand to show her the pendant.

The girl wasn't able to hear what Chen Tian had said, but with his gesture, she understood that he was asking her about the pendant.

The girl's eyes widened in relief as she nodded silently.

The girl really looked too pure for this world, with her rosy cheeks and untamed curls framing her face.

Chen Tian couldn't help but be filled with a sense of protectiveness toward her.

She wasn't a beauty at the level of his sister Aria or Su Bingxin, but she was still a top beauty that could make heads turn in any crowd.

Her innocence and vulnerability only added to her charm, making her all the more captivating.

Chen Tian couldn't help but wonder how someone like her ended up in this dangerous situation.

Chen Tian smiled warmly and gently handed the pendant back to her, watching as she clutched it tightly against her chest.

He couldn't help but wonder what significance the pendant held for the girl.

"I'm sure this pendant isn't normal," Chen Tian thought to himself.

He wished he could ask her about it, but the girl wasn't able to talk or hear because of her disability.

"Let me see what her problem is; I will cure her," Chen Tian thought to himself.

If it was a born disability, Chen Tian knew it would be possible to cure her, and even if it was caused by an accident or illness, he was sure that he could cure the little girl.

He rubbed the girl's head gently; he wanted to scan her with his spiritual Qi, not just rub her head.

No, he wasn't just doing that because he couldn't control himself!

The girl's body trembled slightly as Chen Tian touched her head; her cheeks turned a shade of red at Chen Tian's gesture.

But she let him continue, as she could sense warmth and comfort from his touch.

She missed this kind of touch, as only her mother would give her such gentle affection.

Chen Tian's touch made her feel loved and cared for, even in the midst of everything that happened to her.

His spiritual Qi seemed to flow through his fingertips, scanning the girl's body.

"Eh!"  Chen Tian's expression narrowed as he felt something blocking his Qi from moving further into her body. He concentrated harder, trying to figure out what it was.

After trying for some time, he gave up and decided to take a step back.

"Something is definitely wrong here!" Chen Tian thought to himself, his brows furrowing in interest.

He couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that there was more to the girl's condition than meets the eye.

"Sigh..." Chen Tian let out a frustrated sigh, realizing that he may not be able to fully understand the root of the problem.

This was something impossible; he was a Meridian Opening Realm cultivator. How could a mortal with no prior cultivation block his spiritual Qi from scanning her?

He had seen many strange and unexplained phenomena throughout his years of cultivation, but this girl's condition baffled him.

"Well, I guess it's time to move on to the next phase of my plan," he said, a wicked grin spreading across his face.

As for the girl...

He kept rubbing her head; the girl looked like a cat that had just been petted.

"Let's just take her with us!" Chen Tian decided in his head.

He still needs to figure out what secrets this girl was hiding, not to mention that the pendant in her gave Chen Tian a weird feeling, but he couldn't put his finger on why.

He knew he had to uncover the truth behind both the girl and the pendant.

That is why it was best to take her with him.

The girls would love to have something this cute.

"You, what's your name?" Chen Tian asked the Butler.

The Butler looked at Chen Tian with a puzzled expression, unsure of why he was asking for his name.

After a moment of hesitation, the Butler replied, "My name is Gong Shun, sir. But everyone calls me Head Butler?" Chen Tian nodded, his mind already racing with plans to investigate the mysterious girl and the pendant further.

"Okay, you take care of these women and this little girl till I return," Chen Tian instructed, a determined look in his eyes.

Gong Shun was puzzled at first, but seeing Chen Tian's eyes, he nodded in agreement. "Of course, sir. I will make sure they are well taken care of and keep them safe until your return," he assured.

Chen Tian nodded and looked at the girl.

The girl looked at Chen Tian with curiosity. Her eyes were wide, and her small hand clutched the pendant tightly.

Chen Tian gestured for her to stay here and assured her, "I promise, I will come back for you."

He didn't know if the little girl had understood him, but she nodded in response.

"Good, with that, I can finally start having fun," Chen Tian thought to himself as he walked away, leaving the girl behind.

He picked up Yi Guo from the ground and disappeared with a speed that was almost unnatural.

As he vanished into thin air, the little girl stood there, still clutching the pendant, her eyes filled with a mix of anticipation and astonishment.
