Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 656 Family? (3).

Yu Xiedi did not know how to react to Shi Lang when he said he would bring her more surprises. She only nodded and went back to meditate. Shi Lang had taken her mind off the constant thought of her mother at this moment. The terran was worried that the girl might develop some heart demon. 

Shi Lang also sat in the lotus position, and he took out the lightning resource that the City Lord had given him earlier. The terran wanted to be stronger. These past few days, he had been stimulating battles in his mind and running the lightning shura sutra in his mind. The spiritual energy had peaked in all aspects, whether quality, quantity, or purity. An early Immortal Lord-level cultivator would not be able to top this. 

Even if the people met some heaven-defying chance, the destruction of lightning was too much for other elements to match. Shi Lang held the stone as big as a baby fist in his palm and began to refine it. The spiritual energy could not refine this stone very quickly.

This fist-sized stone was called the Lightning essence stone. These stones were formed when an Immortal King faced their ascension tribulation. This stone was not rare, but it was not easily available. The reason was the delicate nature of this stone. 

It had another name, the gentle glass stone. This stone could crumble when in strong contact with spiritual energy. This was why Shi Lang was using his spirit energy slowly. He could not afford the loss of such a pure treasure. This stone carried the essence of lightning. 

Once, this treasure was used for cultivation. The essence of lightning in this stone could improve the understanding of the element itself. Shi Lang needed to understand the deeper meanings of the lightning. The heavenly lightning comprised five elemental essences and could destroy anything. The terran wanted to understand the power of destruction. 

Do not look at his humble and easy-going nature. He never gave up on his ambitions, even when he had no strength in the federation. Will he give up now when he has achieved a strength like never before? 

No chance. Shi Lang did not rush after success. He chased perfection and skill. He did not mind being slow, but it had to be smooth. He gradually understood what the stone was doing for him, and the longer he cultivated, the stronger he would be. The essence from the stone entered his body, akin to a fuel spray in the combustion chamber. 

The purity of lightning was increasing with every passing moment, and the destructive force was increasing, too. The difference was negligible, but Shi Lang was persistent in his effort. The sun rose in the sky quickly, and Shi Lang woke up from his state of cultivation when he sensed someone calling for him. 

Yu Xiedi stood before him and said, "Master, they are calling for us." 

Shi Lang turned his focus to the door and found Yao'er and Jingjing standing outside the door. He nodded at them with a faint smile and said, "Let us go then, Xiao Yu. Also, tell me, did you comb your hair?" 

Yu Xiedi shook her head and said, "Aunty Min helped me." 

Shi Lang was confused when the little girl pointed at the maid behind the two children. Min bowed slightly, and Shi Lang thanked her. The lady said, "Sir, City Lord is calling for you and Young Miss Yu. He said the guests from the Northern Wind sect are here." 

The terran nodded and stood up from the ground. He placed the lighting essence stone back in his space ring and left the place holding Yu Xiedi's hand. He greeted the two children and asked, "Did you like the gift Uncle gave last night?" 

Yao'er nodded and said, "I liked it, Uncle Ace. You are a good person." 

Shi Lang smiled bitterly. This little girl was too cunning. The group moved along, and Yao'er and Jingjing talked a lot on the way. Shi Lang tried to get her into the group, but she did not feel any connection and stayed quiet all the time. 

When they reached the main hall, Shi Lang found an elderly couple sitting beside the City Lord. Yuwan was chatting with them casually, and at this moment, the children's chatter attracted the elders' attention. 

Yao'er and Jingjing rushed next to the older couple. Shi Lang also walked slowly, holding Yu Xiedi's hand. The two elders looked at him and were confused. Yuwan stood up and said, "Good morning, Ace. Come over, let me introduce you to my relatives."

Shi Lang nodded, and Yuwan said, "This is the young man I have been telling you about. Ace helped us tremendously in taking down the rogues." 

The two old people gazed at Shi Lang and nodded. Yuwan continued, "Ace, this is Master Yu Xian and his wife, Lady Han Kim." 

Shi Lang clasped his fist and bowed, "Greetings, Seniors." 

The two people before him were all Immortal Emperors. The two elders nodded at him with a gentle smile. Yuwan said, "The little one beside him is Yu Xiedi. Ace's disciple." 

The elders looked at the little girl. Shi Lang patted Yu Xiedi's head and said, "Xiao Yu, greet the elders." 

Yu Xiedi looked at him and held her fist as she bowed and said, "I have seen the elders." 

The two elders nodded, and the old lady said, "Child, raise your head and come here. Let me look at you." 

Yu Xiedi raised her head and moved slightly closer to Shi Lang. The girl was not yet open to getting close to other people. Shi Lang gazed at Yuwan, crouched before Yu Xiedi, and said, "Xiao Yu, do not be so afraid."

The girl was looking at his eyes but could not hide her fear. Shi Lang said, "I am here. Go ahead. Nothing will happen to you." 

His voice was soft while Shi Lang calmed the young girl's heart. Yuwan was narrating the story of her background. The more they heard, the more solemn their expression grew. Of course, Yuwan was telling it to them with spirit communication, but the old lady constantly gazed at Yu Xiedi. 

After hearing Shi Lang's words, the girl nodded and slowly walked to Han Kim. Yu Mingxue arrived at this time, and she was watching things silently. She knew what this moment meant. If the child was whom she was thinking of, then there was a chance of her father's demon-solving completely. 

Han Kim smiled at the girl standing before her and asked softly, "What is your name, little fairy?" 

Yu Xiedi replied in a low voice, "Yu Xiedi, elder." 

Her chin was straight, but her eyes were not locked with Han Kim. The old lady said, "Would you like to see something magical?" 

Yu Xiedi did not know how to reply when the old lady bought out a transparent crystal from her space ring and said, "Here, look at this crystal and tell me what do you see?"
