My brother is so cunning

Chapter 955 Heartless Scumbag

Fairy Yue Li fell into deep despair. The incomparably glorious and majestic image in her mind crumbled inch by inch, and the departing figure became smaller and smaller, more and more blurred.

Zhang Xiangu kicked her squarely in the chest. The physical strength of a peak True Immortal is dozens of times that of a low-level True Immortal. With just a casual palm strike, Fairy Yue Li almost vomited blood. Half of her cheek swelled up, and she felt dizzy and her vision blurred. She almost fainted.

But physical suffering is far less unbearable than inner despair.

Before becoming an immortal, Yue Li was a cultivation fanatic. Her life was completely devoid of any selfish thoughts or desires, except for cultivation.

After ascending to immortality, I thought I could climb to even higher realms: Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Primordial Golden Immortal...

Ultimately, one comprehends the mysteries of the universe and reaches the pinnacle of the Tao.

However, ideals are often grand, but reality is often harsh. It's like a recent college graduate who thinks that once they step out of the campus, they will reach the pinnacle of life and realize their great ambitions.

But the result is that they can't even find a job with a monthly salary of a few thousand yuan. Even if they do find one, they can only make ends meet and it's difficult to support themselves, let alone have any ideals or ambitions.

After becoming an immortal, the time it takes to advance to a higher realm is no longer measured in years, but in hundreds, thousands... or even tens of thousands of years.

The immortals' daily lives are not what they imagined before their ascension. They live a life of eating dew and drinking the wind, meditating and contemplating the Tao, transcending worldly troubles and living a carefree life.

In the mortal realm, you are at the pinnacle, an unparalleled genius. But in the Heavenly Court, you are the lowest-ranking servant. Forget about being carefree; countless heavenly rules are like endless shackles, and one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.

Before he began his cultivation in a mortal sect, he was carefree.

Having been suppressed for too long, the arrival of the tablet computer, a small window through which she could glimpse countless new and exciting things, finally brought a glimmer of light to Fairy Yue Li's gloomy immortal life.

After watching many movies and TV shows and playing many games, she accidentally clicked on the education channel of a video website.

The first video was a math lesson taught by Wen Rui. That lesson was supposed to be very boring. If Fairy Yunxiu had clicked in, she definitely wouldn't have lasted a minute before scrolling away.

Fairy Yue Li listened intently, feeling as if a new world had opened up for her, and she instantly rediscovered the feeling of constantly seeking enlightenment before her ascension.

From then on, there was no stopping it.

Only then did she realize that becoming an immortal was not just about living a mundane life and serving dishes; there were also countless fragments of the Heavenly Dao waiting to be extracted and analyzed. Countless scholars worked tirelessly, each spending their entire lives to solve even a single step in the mystery of the Heavenly Dao. Countless people followed one after another, and eventually they would glimpse the truth hidden behind a certain fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

Isn't this much more interesting than waiting tables to gain seniority and fighting for favor in front of the Queen Mother of the West for thousands or tens of thousands of years?

The person who opened up this new world was none other than Wen Rui, the Creator God who gave her her mathematical enlightenment.

When you admire someone, you often imagine them to be incredibly wonderful, possessing all the best qualities in the world.

So, when a loyal fan is facing a major disaster, and is fortunate enough to encounter their idol, isn't it perfectly reasonable to expect a dreamlike rescue?
But while the ideal was still beautiful, reality was far harsher. Wen Rui didn't even glance at her, stepping over her badly injured body as if it were a stray dog, and walked away leisurely, like two parallel lines he had explained in math class, destined never to intersect. Fairy Yue Li closed her beautiful eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek. Now, all she wanted was to die, to be reborn into an ordinary family and live a peaceful life. She never wanted to cultivate this damned immortality again.

"Your Majesty, please save us! We are your...believers!"

Fairy Yue Li gave up struggling, but Fairy Yun Xiu, in her desperate moment, unleashed astonishing courage, risking her soul to be scattered in a final desperate gamble.

She suddenly struggled to her feet, lunged forward, grabbed Wen Rui's leg, and clung tightly to his sleeve, refusing to let go.

"You lowly servant, how dare you offend such an honored guest!"

Zhang Xiangu was bowing and scraping as she led the way, thinking to herself how she could atone for her sins by leading the way and not have to be buried with those two lowly maids. But she was too late to react and failed to stop Fairy Yunxiu, watching helplessly as she clung to Wen Rui's leg.

Imagine if a fairy suddenly jumped out at the Peach Banquet, grabbed the Buddha's leg, and cried out for help. How embarrassed would the Queen Mother of the West, the host of the banquet, be?
The Buddha was also in an awkward position. He had always preached compassion, but should he intervene or not?
If we intervene, it would make the Heavenly Court seem a bit involved in organized crime. In such a prestigious place under the Jade Emperor's feet, there are still wronged women blocking the road and crying out for justice.

Running off to the Heavenly Court to act as a high-ranking official is tantamount to slapping the Queen Mother of the West in the face.

Regardless, he couldn't just kick that fairy away and yell, "Don't get my straw sandals dirty, you can't afford to pay for it even if you sell them!"

At most, they would say a few ambiguous things like "Forgive me, forgive me, every drink and every bite is preordained, and cause and effect are all self-inflicted."

Zhang Xiangu rushed forward in one stride, intending to grab Yunxiu Fairy's hair and forcibly pull her away from Wen Rui's lap. However, Wen Rui waved his hand, sending out a gust of wind that blew Zhang Xiangu away.

"You say you are my follower?"

Squinting, Wen Rui finally looked at the little fairy clinging to his leg properly: "Alright, then I'll give you a question. If you can answer it, then we are destined to be together. If you can't answer it, even Buddha doesn't save those who are not destined to be together. After all, I am a little bit less virtuous than Buddha, so I will just kick you away."

Fairy Yunxiu was taken aback upon hearing this, but Wen Rui didn't give her time to react and read the question aloud.

"In Kunlun Ruins, there is a Spirit Gathering Pool that needs to be charged with spiritual springs. Beside the pool are two spiritual springs and a spiritual draining vein. Opening Spring A alone will fill the empty pool in six hours; opening Spring B alone will fill the empty pool in ten hours; opening the spiritual draining vein alone will drain the pool of spiritual liquid in fifteen hours. If Spring A is opened alone for two hours first, and then Spring B and the spiritual draining vein are opened simultaneously, how many more hours will it take to fill the empty pool?"

"Uh... well, I..."

Fairy Yunxiu was immediately dumbfounded; she didn't know how to do this question!
After stammering for a long time without being able to explain himself, Wen Rui's face grew increasingly dark. He had already raised his foot, seemingly counting down in his mind, ready to kick someone when the time was up.

Although Fairy Yunxiu was just a lowly maidservant serving dishes at Yaochi, she was still incredibly beautiful. No, "incredibly beautiful" would be an insult to her; she was a peerless beauty, a rare sight in heaven, one in a million.

But Wen Rui never understood the meaning of cherishing women. Anyone who failed the test was treated as a spy. It was already a sign of leniency that he didn't kill her with that kick.
