Number One Under Heaven

After creating Defensive Formations around the room, Tian Yi said, “Okay, now let’s begin. First, I want you to show me your palm.”

Meng Xiang nodded and showed him her small palm.

“Good, now I want you to look at your palm and imagine lighting up a small fire on your palm. Here, you can use this as an example.” Tian Yi shows her his palm and a small golden flame suddenly appears on his palm.

“Look at this and try to imprint it in your mind. Keep staring at it until you can remember it without even looking.”

Meng Xiang silently stares at this little golden flame dancing on top of Tian Yi’s palm. The more she stared at it, the more she was addicted to its beauty. The color to the gentle way it sways, everything about it was perfect.

Many minutes later, Meng Xiang unknowingly went into a meditative state where her mind was thinking about nothing aside from this tiny golden flame. The longer she looked, the more she wanted something like it.

After a few more minutes, an image of a small flame was born in her mind. However, the color of this flame was not gold, but silver.

*Poof*

A tiny silver flame suddenly appears on Meng Xiang’s palm. Although it was smaller than a candle fire, it was dancing with energy. The moment this silver flame appeared, the gravity in the room became heavier.

Not even noticing that she summoned her Divine Flames already, Meng Xiang continued to stare at Tian Yi’s Divine Flames.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, an hour—

Unaware of the time passing by, Meng Xiang continued to stare at this golden flame in front of her. The longer she stared at it, the more refined and detailed her own Divine Flames turned.

Noticing her Divine Flames growing bigger and more complex, Tian Yi nodded in his heart, “She is doing pretty good for someone as young as her. I’ll speed up her training a bit.”

*Poof*

The Divine Flames on his palm suddenly disappears, and Meng Xiang wakes up.

“Big Brother?” She looks at him with a puzzled face.

“Look at your own palms.” He said.

Hearing that, she looks at her palm to see a very graceful looking silver colored flame, “Wah! Big Brother, I did it, I did it!” Meng Xiang cried out with excitement.

“Un. You did a great job. As expected from my Personal Servant.” Tian Yi pats her head.

“Hehehe.” She giggles while blushing from the praises.

“….” Yan Yan silently glares at them from the bed.

“Okay, now you need to learn how to summon your Divine Flames whenever you want to. All you have to do is summon and cancel it again until you get the hang of it. An easy way to do that just imagining it appearing and disappearing. Try it.” Tian Yi explained to her.

Imagining the small flame on her palm being blown out like a candle, the silver flame suddenly disappears, “Wow, it really disappeared!” Meng Xiang said.

“Good, now imagine lighting up a candle.” Tian Yi instructed.

“Un.”

*Poof*

The silver flame returns, but this time, it was not as refined.

“You successfully summoned it, but it is still unstable. Keep on doing this until you can do it with just a thought; I will continue watching.” Tian Yi said.

“Yes, Big Brother.” Meng Xiang continues to train, repeating it again and again.

*****

“Meng Xiang, this is enough for today, go get some rest .” Tian Yi said.

She has been training for the past few hours, and he did not want to stress her small body out too much.

“But Big Brother, this is very fun. I can do this for longer.” Meng Xiang said.

“I can tell that you’re having fun, but you still need some rest. Training for too long will only stress out your mind. Go clean yourself; we are done with training today.”

“Yes, Big Brother.” She said before heading to the bathroom.

After Meng Xiang had left, Yan Yan flew onto Tian Yi’s shoulder, “Master, she has a monstrous comprehension for a Mortal. I have never heard of a Mortal learning how to control their Divine Flames within a few hours, not mentioning that it is also the Origin Divine Flames.” She said.

“Yan Yan, you are underestimating her status as my Personal Servant. You think that she would get nothing in return for serving me?” Tian Yi said.

No matter how talented Meng Xiang was, there was no way she could learn how to control her Divine Flames that fast, not even mentioning that she has never Cultivated before in her life. The reason she learned how to control her Divine Flames that fast was only because of Tian Yi.

As a God, he can easily give Mortals talents that they were never born with. However, with all that said, it does not mean that he can just go around blessing Mortals whenever he wanted to. Even if Xuan Wanshan begs him to do it, he will refuse without even batting an eye! Now that Meng Xiang is officially his Personal Servant, she will not only get a high status, but she will also have Tian Yi’s blessing. Even if he decided to turn her into a real God right now, nobody could complain because that is her right as his Personal Servant!

Such a grand status, who did not want it?! If the people from the higher Realms hears of this, they will suicide from jealousy! A random Mortal suddenly went from a beggar to a Supreme Being that even Gods had to be respectful around? She has such a grand status, yet the person herself knew nothing about it! Meng Xiang is exactly like a Queen walking around thinking that she’s just a commoner!

“Is that so… Wait, Master, how come I didn’t get anything as your Spirit Beast?!” Yan Yan just realized. She is also his Servant, is she not?

“You? What is there to give you, a Celestial Phoenix God? However, you are right; I have yet to give you anything. But that does not mean I have nothing for you; it’s just that I cannot think of anything at the moment. If you have something that you want and I have the abilities to get it, just tell me.” Tian Yi tells her the truth.

“Really?! Master, you are not playing with me right?!” Yan Yan instantly felt ecstatic. He will let her choose the reward?! Other rewards are not worth a thing in front of this one!

“Of course. If I can fulfill it, I will give it to you.” Tian Yi reassures her doubts.

“Good, then this is a promise! Master, I will let you know once I transcend into a demon!” She said with a voice full of expectation.

“Hehehe. Master, you just dug yourself a pit!” Yan Yan chuckles in her heart.

“Un. You do you.” Tian Yi nods.

“Master, then you should start Cultivating so I can transcend even faster!” She suggested.

Whenever the Master Cultivates, the Spirit Beast will also grow stronger alongside with the Master. This is why most Magic Beasts were willing to give away their freedom, only to gain strength faster!

“Eh? You want me to Cultivate here? Are you trying to make the Mortals here curse me to death?” Tian Yi said with a weird expression on his face.

Because of the Xiao Family, he learned what will happen once he Cultivates in the Mortal’s Realm. Due to his godlike Spirit Power-absorbing rate, the Spirit Power in the Mortal’s Realm regenerating speed could not match his absorbing speed, leading to a shortage of Spirit Power! If he wanted to help Yan Yan ascend, even all the Spirit Power in the Mortal’s Realm would not be enough! Even if there was enough Spirit Power, he will be cursed to death before he could even help her ascend!

“Then we should hurry and explore Mortal’s Realm within a few days…” She suggested again.

With their Cultivation, it will only take a few days at most to travel the entire Mortal’s Realm if they wanted to.

Shaking his head, Tian Yi said, “Can you even call that exploring? Are you that impatient to transcend? Then I might as well just sweep the entire Mortal’s Realm with my Divine Sense and leave…”

“Why is she so impatient? Didn’t she want to explore the World?” He thought.

“Master, people will laugh at me if I do not hurry up and transcend. With Master’s background, I do not have enough face to walk around calling myself Master’s Spirit Beast if I cannot even transcend…” She said with a bitter voice.

“What are you worried about? Nobody even knows that I have a Spirit Beast.” Tian Yi tried to cheer her up.

“While that is true, people will still find out someday, and if I am still unable to transcend by then, I’ll die from shame…”

Seeing how worried Yan Yan was, Tian Yi sighs, “Fine, fine; I will help you transcend later. But do not expect it for a while—”

“Really?! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!” Yan Yan threw herself onto his face before he could even finish.

“….” Tian Yi became speechless! He had no idea that she wanted to transcend this badly! She could’ve asked him back when they were still in the Celestial Emperor’s World, so why wait until now?

*****

Meng Xiang walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, “Big Brother, I am done.” She called out.

“Okay, the food should be here any minute. Eat and go to sleep; we will resume our training tomorrow.” Tian Yi said to her.

“Yes, Big Brother.” She said.

The food came five minutes later, and they started eating.

While Meng Xiang was stuffing her mouth with the delicious food, Yan Yan silently stares at her, “This little girl, if I did not witness it for myself, I would’ve never believed that someone as fortunate as her could exist! She is only a Mortal at such a small place, yet not only did she become the Personal Servant for the future Celestial Emperor who will rule over this Universe, she even stole his first kiss! What kind of bullshit luck does she have?! What’s even more annoying is that she is not even aware of the clothes made of gold that she is wearing from top to bottom! With her luck, how could she possibly become a beggar? I am surprised that she did not pick up any gold in the trash cans that she went through!” She cries in her heart.

With Meng Xiang’s background, she should have never had the chance to even meet with someone like Tian Yi, yet not only did she meet him, her fate was even changed entirely because of this meeting! Even if the person herself had no idea, the fact that she has dogshit luck would not go away!

She is only a Mortal in the Mortal’s Realm, yet she somehow stood next to the son of the Celestial Emperor that even Gods could not! She is only a Mortal, yet she became his Personal Servant, which is known to be harder to achieve than reaching the apex of Cultivation! She is only a Mortal, yet her status is now even higher than Gods! She is only a Mortal, yet she stole his first kiss that even Goddesses are willing to kill for without a thought! Even calling it dogshit luck is an understatement! With her golden dogshit luck, even the God of Fortune will have to give up that title to her if they ever meet with each other!

Geniuses? Inborn talent? Heavenly Constitutions? None of these mean a thing in front of Meng Xiang’s bullshit luck!

“This is very unfair. How are the others supposed to have a chance when she has fortunes that are impossible to match, let alone beat? All the chances will be stolen by her before we even get to move! And then there’s also that Xuan Wanshan! How can Heaven give birth to someone with such luck—— Is it playing with us?” Yan Yan cries even more in her heart. Even her fortune in becoming his Spirit Beast and seeing him naked could not match Meng Xiang’s fortune!

If the others find out about this, how will they face this massive wall with every inch made of bullshit luck?!
