LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 39 - Good Brother, You Are So Strong
Chapter 39 Good Brother, You Are So Strong
At dusk, the wind and rain subsided.
“Good brother, you’re so strong…”
Sikong Qianluo nestled into Jiang Che’s arms, her face tired yet lazily content, a hint of spring lingering in her brows. A faint smile curled at the corners of her lips.
Sikong Qianluo now had a clearer understanding of Jiang Che’s strength.
If she had any lingering resentment about Jiang Che pursuing Li Hanyi before, now she wished he’d bring Li Hanyi home tomorrow.
“Be good, get some proper sleep…”
Jiang Che gently kissed Sikong Qianluo on the forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness, his heart overflowing with satisfaction.
After all, this was the highest praise a woman could give a man.
“Mm~”
Sikong Qianluo murmured softly like a lazy kitten. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep.
She was truly exhausted, and earlier, she had been forcing herself to keep going just to satisfy Jiang Che.
…
Once Sikong Qianluo was asleep, Jiang Che carefully left the bed.
After bathing and changing his clothes, he stepped outside to breathe the fresh air.
Even after staying awake for two days and nights, Jiang Che felt no fatigue. Instead, he was full of energy and vigor.
Upon breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, he could now achieve the state of abstinence.
Thanks to the spiritual energy within his body, Jiang Che could go an entire month of non-stop cultivation without any problems.
This was also why some reclusive masters in the Heavenly realm could stay in closed-door cultivation for years.
Without needing food or sleep to replenish their stamina, these cultivators naturally dedicated all their time to pursuing the path of immortality.
With an endless supply of true energy in their bodies, Heavenly Realm warriors could go a month without eating or drinking.
They only needed to relax their minds for a day or two each month.
After all, mental energy was finite; it wasn’t possible to go years without sustenance or rest.
Once their true energy was depleted, even Heavenly Realm warriors would feel hunger and fatigue.
Of course, Jiang Che, blessed by the system, had no need for such hardship. He only needed to complete daily tasks and relax.
Breathing in the fresh air, Jiang Che was about to test his newly mastered Heavenly Intent Four Symbol Method when a maid approached him.
“City Lord, a few guests came to visit you today.”
“I noticed you were resting, so I didn’t disturb you…”
At this point, the maid’s tone became hesitant, her face flushing red.
Clearly, she was aware of what Jiang Che had been doing all day…
“Visitors?”
“Who?”
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
Could it be Sikong Changfeng or Bai Li Dongjun?
Aside from those two, Jiang Che couldn’t think of anyone else.
After all, he didn’t have many friends in Snow Moon City.
“It’s Miss Ye Ruoyi and a few people who claim to be your subordinates…”
After recalling, the maid respectfully replied.
“Ye Ruoyi?”
“What’s she here for?”
Jiang Che paused, puzzled.
As for the subordinates the maid mentioned, Jiang Che had a pretty good guess.
They were likely the four subordinates he had gained through the system’s sign-in.
“Miss Ye didn’t explain her purpose. She only mentioned she would come back another time.”
“What about the others? Take me to see them.”
Jiang Che didn’t dwell on it. He could just ask Ye Ruoyi tomorrow.
“Sir, those subordinates are waiting in the hall…”
…
Following the maid to the hall, Jiang Che finally met the four individuals.
“Greetings, Master!”
Noticing Jiang Che’s arrival, the four men, who had been sitting upright, immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully.
“From now on, address me as Sir.”
Jiang Che scrutinized the four men before nodding in satisfaction.
Just as the system had stated, they were all ninth-stage Grandmasters!
When Jiang Che laid eyes on them, he also felt an inexplicable sense of control.
It was as if he could decide their life and death with a single thought.
Jiang Che wasn’t surprised—this was likely the system’s doing.
Since they were his subordinates, they were undoubtedly loyal to him.
If they dared to harbor rebellious thoughts, Jiang Che could easily eliminate them with a single thought.
“Yes, Sir!”
“Do you have names? Where are you from?”
Taking the main seat, Jiang Che gestured for the men to sit down, then asked curiously.
The system had only mentioned that he would gain four subordinates but didn’t specify their origins.
“Sir, we hail from the Tianwu Continent, from an assassin organization. We only have code names, not real names.”
The leader, a young man with a cold expression, replied. His tone carried an unsettling chill.
Jiang Che glanced at him. The man appeared to be about 25 or 26 years old, quite handsome, but his complexion was excessively pale, giving him a sickly appearance.
After examining him closely, Jiang Che confirmed that he was in perfect health with no ailments.
It seemed that some unknown reason had kept him out of sunlight for so long, resulting in his pallor.
“In that case, you will be called Jiang Yi.”
“The rest of you will be Jiang Er, Jiang San, and Jiang Si.”
“Thank you, Sir, for bestowing names upon us!”
“Without missions, stay in the residence and protect it. It’s late; go rest.”
“Yes, Sir!”
