Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

HE ONCE AGAIN made a visit to the Spirit Race and asked for their permission whether they would agree to submit to him or not. Yang Lujia was very specific with his goals and objectives. In order to fight against an enemy he didn’t know, he first needed to build a force of his own for resistance.

The Spirit Race Ancestor had nothing to ask for except for her precious granddaughter, Jing Shen, to be out of the Valley of Gods as soon as possible. She wanted her to accompany them. After all, Jing Shen was very important to their race as her bloodline was vital to them. Moreover, she was a never-before-seen genius of their kind, so she couldn’t just leave her like that.

Yang Lujia quickly complied and so then came the Farewell Celebration.

“Jing Ya, I never thought you were still alive and the Chief Justice saved you from the onslaught of Zhang Wei and the bunch,” Xia Zhiguang commented as he clunked his gourd with her, grinning.

“Are you trying to curse me to death old man, old man?” Jing Ya, the Spirit Race Ancestor replied. “It was true, though. If it wasn’t for him, we would’ve gone extinct by now. If we haven’t submitted to him, we may be the ones who will be killed.”

“From what I heard, he wasn’t like that, though. He never forced us to become his subordinates. Perhaps it was just you?” Xia Zhiguang wondered.

Jing Ya just sighed and shook her head. “That aside, let’s try to recall some unpleasant things you did in the past. Weren’t you trying to court me back then—”_.

“Shut up.” Xia Zhiguang threw her a glare and immediately drank his wine to wash away his own shame. “I don’t recall anything about that.”

“And then you were rejected.” Jing Ya chuckled. “After that, your son, Xia Jieke, also followed the same steps as you did.”

“Really? I didn’t know that?” Xia Zhiguang was surprised. “I was too caught up by divining that I forgot about tending to that son of mine. I really didn’t know that, given his strong personality.”

“I was just joking, though,” Jing Ya replied, her laugh making Xia Zhiguang blush in shame.

On the other hand, Jing Yan, the Spirit Race Queen, was approached first by Xia Jieke, without attracting the attention of the two.

“Yan’er,” Xia Jieke gently called. “I hope you reconsider what I said to you. I don’t ask for an answer right away. It’s been years and I still haven’t given up on you.”

“You’re the only man who did not approach me for ulterior motives and asked right away for my hand. So, I will try to reconsider it, Ke’er.” Jing Yan smiled and winked at him.

Xia Jieke’s cheeks turned beet red. “Stop it. Otherwise…” He then chugged another drink from his gourd and shied away from her.

“You’re too cute. Hahaha!”

“Hmph!”

“By the way, it’s been a long time since I saw your little brother,” she said, reminded of something. “The first time I saw him was when he was still a kid. I wonder how grown he had become now. By the way, do you still beat him up until now?”

“Well… he’s always asking for a beating so I feel obliged to beat him up. Also, that’s the way how our father taught us. Otherwise, I might have already become a spoiled child since then. He had only been holding back on my little sister.”

“Speaking, her name’s Xia Hua, isn’t it? You really have a beautiful bloodline, no? Your sister’s beautiful. Your brother’s handsome. You, on the other hand, are even more so.”

“W-What are y-you talking about?” Xia Jieke stammered, his face becoming even redder, almost like any time, he would explode. “J-Just shut it… hmph!”

“Am I killing you, Xia Jieke?” With a gourd in one hand, she shortened the distance between them, her body slightly drooped as she looked up at his face with her clear eyes and with a smile on her face.

Xia Jieke then stole a glance at her twin peaks’ obvious crevice, making him want to faint more. “W-What are y-you doing… s-stop…”

On the other hand, Xia Jiali was stalking them. He brought with him a recording tool and recorded the conversation between the two. As he thought of using this against his brother, he grinned. But just as he was about to exit from the scene, he suddenly heard a sonorous voice, making his heart shake in peril.

“Hey…”

“What…” he subconsciously muttered. “Big brother…”

Yang Lujia, on the other hand, had already placed Xia Hua in a safe place. “It’s been a long time since I volunteered to do something like that, although the probability of getting infected with some disease from her was a bit high.” He then slapped his arms and robe, as if something was really trying to contaminate him.

He then laughed at his own actions and stopped. “I really turned into someone who’s overly cautious. I should really change this habit of mine. Well, it’s not like it’s gonna happen overnight, though.”

Hours flew fast and then came the next day, Yang Lujia already settled everything for everyone. Even if they were nervous about the voyage this time, they strengthened their resolve and held on.

“Good,” Yang Lujia said as he looked up at the blood-red skies. “I hope that our ascension this time would help you speed up the Death Purge.”

With a flash, he appeared before the sky and tore a spatial passage. This was what he also did when he came to Da Sishen from Da Shenghou. “It seems like the passage this time was even harsher, but it didn’t matter.”

“Here we go, Da Shikong. I hope you don’t disappoint me,” he said as he drifted to the passage.

When he finally entered it, he added, “As expected, there are several void beasts waiting for my arrival. It’s like they predicted that I would again get out from a realm.” He then stared at their ferocious looks.

They were all in different forms. Some were in the form of tigers. Some were even dragon-like. Just like the void beasts he captured before.

ROAR!

They all roared at him, seemingly angry over something.

“Why are you roaring at me like that? Do you want me to eat some of you again?” Yang Lujia licked his lips as he imagine the barbecue he did with his disciples.
