Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang said, "He is my brother..."

The people from both sides fell silent. Tsuu Ching smiled and said, "Boss, are you giving me face before my people? I was the attendant beside you, and I still am."

The jaws of the experts like Kylo-Jan were dropping to the floor. They did not expect that Shi Lang, the boy they were disrespecting was a personage who was attended by Tsuu Ching, their eternal sovereign, wasn't it a death wish?

Kylo-Jan received death glares and asked hurriedly, "Your Excellency, what is going on here? How could you be an attendant?"

Tsuu Ching's smile vanished and his face become cold. He said, "Do you think that you are qualified to question me?"

Kylo-Jan took a deep breath and said, "No, Your excellency."

Tsuu Ching said, "Boss, come inside first, you have yet to meet Man Li."

Shi Lang nodded, and then followed him inside the big palace. Then he looked at the people behind him, and said, "Tsuu Ching, invite them also, they have been serving you for so long and they have always been loyal, I think they deserve some more courtesy."

Tsuu Ching sighed and said, "When have I ever said no to you?"

He looked at Kylo-Jan and replied, "You need to behave, or I will teach you how to be disciplined."

Allure was standing beside Shi Lang, she did not dare to speak anything. She feared that this guy would kill her with a grunt.

...

They came inside the senate and Shi Lang remarked, "You recreated the Meadow Nation Senate very well."

Tsuu Ching smiled and replied, "I was unable to fulfill my promise to father in that world, but I recreated the nation here."

Shi Lang nodded, the place was very lavishly designed, and spoke of elegance. Tsuu Ching bought him to the reception hall and said, "Boss, you make yourself at home, I will bring over Man Li."

The Terran nodded as he watched his friend going away. Hou Bing waited for a bit before she asked, "I want the details now. Everything."

Shi Lang chuckled and replied, "Alright, Alright, I will tell you."

He could sense that everyone was anxious about what was going on. Shi Lang took a pause and said, "Well, I have the memories of my past life, thanks to a fortunate encounter. That is why my soul age is higher than my bone age."

The people nodded in understanding, Shi Lang continued, "In my old life I was an orphan and Tsuu Ching was born a prince. We had no connection, but he was a gentle child. His mother was from a common birth. One time the Queen Consort came to the orphanage where I lived. The children received welfare and that was the first time I saw a cultivator up close.

Consort Tsuu was the gentlest soul in the world. She asked every child if they wanted anything. When it was my turn I asked for a basic cultivation sutra. Consort Tsuu asked me why I wanted it. I replied, 'I do not wish to become strong.'

A few years later, the kingdom arranged a tournament. I participated in it, but none of the people could win over the Princes. I was defeated by the first prince brutally. He broke my arm, and enraged I promise myself to kill him."

The people were surprised and after a brief pause, Shi Lang said, "I left the city, and when I came back after seven years, I found that Consort Tsuu was killed, and Tsuu Ching was imprisoned. The culprit of it all was the First Prince. To claim the throne he murdered his kith and kin.

Tsuu Ching was abandoned, and the people were revolting against the throne. So, I kept my promise and challenged the bastard for a duel in the annual competition. He was over confident and ended up falling to my sword. The wager of the battle was Tsuu Ching's freedom.

Tsuu Ching became my friend, and with nowhere else to go, I brought him on the road with me. We grew stronger together and one time the fallen prince stood up for a damsel. However, she was tricking him, so I saved him. Ever since then he would call me, Boss."

Hou Bing asked quickly, "That explains it. However, his strength is really scary."

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "That is what I am also wondering about."

Tsuu Ching's voice sounded from the distance, "I got stronger because when I came to this world, I found a chance to change my innate physique."

Shi Lang looked at him and stood up from the chair. Tsuu Ching was carrying a lady in his arms. The lady was very beautiful but she had a fragile aura about herself. Tsuu Ching said, "Boss, this is Man Li. My wife."

Man Li spoke so softly, that he almost did not catch her sound, "Greetings, Boss."

Shi Lang was surprised and he glared at Tsuu Ching and then at the lady as he said, "Sister-in-law. Please call me Shi Lang, your husband is a bit different. I never liked being called Boss."

Man Li smiled faintly and said, "As you wish, Brother Shi. Please forgive me for not being able to attend to you properly. I am cursed with some disease no one can cure."

Shi Lang furrowed his brows and then said, "I have some understanding of alchemy, would you allow me to take a measure of your pulse?"

Man Li was surprised and so were the rest. Tsuu Ching replied, "Boss, please go ahead."

Shi Lang glared at him and said, "You simpleton, have her sit down first. Do you intend to show you affection in such a brazen manner? My wife is away so are you bullying me?"

Tsuu Ching chuckled and said, "I did not expect the scavenger king to ever find someone to love."

Shi Lang waved his hand and Man Li was lowered in the chair. The Terran said, "I need you to trust me completely. I swear in the name of heavens that I do not bear any ill-will towards you."

The people were shocked that he swore a heavenly oath so quickly. This was a proof of his conviction. Not many people in the world would take an oath as if they were breathing or did not care about.

Man Li nodded and Shi Lang raised his fingers to cast a thread of spiritual energy that wrapped around her wrist. The Terran closed his eyes, others thought he was counting the pulse or checking the energy flow. But Shi Lang was using his sensory ability to check the structure of her body down to the cellular level.

After a few moments, he frowned and said, "The body is clear, what is causing this?"

Tsuu Ching sighed and slumped his shoulders as he lost hope once again. He had been trying to cure this disease for a long time, but he had not been able to find someone who could even diagnose it.

Shi Lang scanned everything from the muscles to the bones and every organ also. However he could not find anything. Suddenly, he asked, "Have she been taking any medicine?"

Tsuu Ching nodded but Shi Lang said, "She had been taking spirit replenishing pills."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Well, the problem is not with her body, but the spiritual replenishment pill consumption. Her body has gotten addicted to them. Her body is rejecting the spiritual energy that she would make on her own by thinking it is foreign spiritual attribute."

The people were shocked and they could not understand what he was talking about. After a few moments, Shi Lang said, "You do not have to worry, it is not critical. I have a way to treat her."

Tsuu Ching asked eagerly, "Boss, what is it?"

Shi Lang replied, "I will block her spiritual channels and then feed her a detoxification pill. This way the pill poison in her body will flush out, and then she will stay in rehabilitation for a few days, before her spirit ways can be unlocked and then she will be back to her cultivation again."

Kylo-Jan said, "Does it not seem a bit too simple?"

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Often in such cases, the most simple solution is the answer."

Man Li raised her hand and said, "Given me the pill."

Shi Lang smiled and took out a green pill from his space ring. He gave it to her, and said, "Here you go."

He waved his hand and blocked her spiritual ways in a blink. Suddenly, an old man from the group of experts exclaimed, "Tribulation Detox Pill?"

Tsuu Ching and everyone looked at him and the Kylo-Jan asked, "Master Barre, what do you mean?"

Master Barre was the alchemy master in the secret realm, and he said, "Your Excellency, that is a tribulation level pill. This pill must have gone through a heavenly tribulation."

Tsuu Ching looked at Shi Lang and asked, "Boss, why did you give out something so expensive? Do you know that you can buy out a city for one of these?"

Shi Lang waved his hand and said, "I have many such pills, but they do not mean anything if they cannot save the people I care about. It means nothing but waste."

Tsuu Ching had tears in his eyes, as Shi Lang moved his hand so that Man Li eats the pill. The Terran said, "Why are you crying? If not for your mother, I would not be here."

Tsuu Ching hugged Shi Lang tightly as he wailed.
