The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 401: Auntie Great Grandma’s Faith (Third Update, Seeking Recommendations)

"When you laughed out loud."Gong Leitian laughed. Indeed, it was only when he laughed heartily that he relaxed a bit. Unexpectedly, just in that moment, this guy actually took action against him.

"What are you trying to do? Don’t tell me you want to kill me?"

"No, I just want to teach you a lesson!"

Mu Mingyu pulled him out from behind the desk and threw him to the ground.

"Bang—"

Without any spiritual energy protection, Gong Leitian was thrown rather hard: "Do you have to be so rough?"

"Sorry, if I’m not rough, how would you feel the pain?" Mu Mingyu elegantly took off the white gloves from his hands and tossed them onto the desk behind.

"You just said we were friends, yet you’re so rough on me, isn’t that too much?"

"It’s because we’re friends that I’m rough. Who told you to be so muddle-headed lately, if I don’t hit hard, how will it work?"

Without spiritual power, Gong Leitian was no match for Mu Mingyu. How could he, a minister of a special department, be held down by someone’s butler and beaten up on the office floor?

"Bang, bang, bang—"

"Bang—"

Gong Leitian was also stubborn; even though he was beaten black and blue, he refused to cry out in pain.

Mu Mingyu was not trying to make him cry out. Any man with a strong sense of pride probably wouldn’t cry out in such a situation, right? Especially someone like Gong Leitian, who cares so much about face.

"Actually, if you did cry out, I wouldn’t laugh at you!"

"Is this all you’ve got?" Gong Leitian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, scoffing, "Too weak! If you unseal my spiritual power, I’ll show you how to really hit someone."

"Sorry, I won’t unseal it before I leave." Mu Mingyu slowly took a basin of water out from the space ring, washed his hands, and then put on white gloves again.

Gong Leitian felt a toothache from watching: "Why does it feel like hitting me dirtied your hands?"

"I’m afraid of catching your germs and doing something stupid like you!"

"How have I been stupid? Are you insulting my intelligence? I just underestimated you, that’s all, giving you a chance. Do you think you’ll get another chance?"

"I never expected another chance. Being able to hit you, Minister Gong, even once is already an honor for me. No, this isn’t about honor, next time it might really dirty my hands. Honestly, I don’t understand why you think Jiang Nuo’s existence stains the Grand Aunt’s reputation. Do you think that with Jiang Nuo around, the Grand Aunt won’t be able to ascend?"

"Do you really think she can? Look at her now, indulging in romance all day, lowering herself to participate in some mundane human activities, appearing in various public places, being talked about everywhere, all just to pave the way for Jiang Nuo? Do you think she can still ascend under these circumstances?"

"Why not? Your faith is the Grand Aunt, and the Grand Aunt’s faith is ascension. You won’t allow anyone to stain your faith, so why do you think the Grand Aunt would allow anyone to shake her faith?" Mu Mingyu retorted.

Gong Leitian was stunned for a moment. He did feel like his faith was tarnished by Jiang Nuo, which is why he broke down and thought—if Jiang Nuo could, why couldn’t he?

But wasn’t the Grand Aunt’s faith ascension? Would she allow Jiang Nuo to shake her faith in ascension?

"Also, why do you think the Grand Aunt being with Jiang Nuo would affect her cultivation? Has she ever stopped cultivating? No, she hasn’t. She’s always been on the path of cultivation. It’s just that her past cultivation was seclusion, was hiding from the world, but now her cultivation is entering the mortal world, is experiencing emotions." Mu Mingyu stared at him intently and continued, "Don’t you think the Grand Aunt’s previous cultivation method was too singular? Even though she’s hundreds of years old, from your interactions with her, does she have that kind of elderly desolation?"

Gong Leitian, sitting on the ground, looked up at Mu Mingyu without speaking. He suddenly realized that although he considered himself the most devoted follower of the Grand Aunt, having grown up listening to her legendary stories, it seemed like he didn’t understand her as well as a butler who had only been in contact with her for a few months.

Unexpectedly, he felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

"Does she?"

"No!"

"You know there’s none? Didn’t you notice the problem here? A person hundreds of years old living like a little girl, do you think that’s normal?"

"No, it’s not normal."

"You know it’s not normal, don’t you think the Grand Aunt knows too? Think carefully, when did the Grand Aunt leave the Hidden Immortal Sect and stay in the mortal world all the time? Isn’t it because she knew there was a problem with her cultivation and she’s been searching for a way to enter the world? But before meeting Jiang Nuo, she was too detached, even though she stayed in the mortal world, she was always in a hidden state, unable to truly integrate into the world. It can’t be helped, her nature is too indifferent, nothing could pique her interest, her entry point into the world was never triggered, so she couldn’t enter the world."

"So, Jiang Nuo is a key point for her entering the world?"

"If you look at the previous great powers in the Cultivation World who ascended, which one of them hasn’t entered the world, experienced the vicissitudes of life, the changes of time?" Fresh chapters posted on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Mu Mingyu’s words were like a bolt of lightning exploding in Gong Leitian’s mind. Right! Even Mu Mingyu noticed the problem, with the Grand Aunt’s intelligence, wouldn’t she see it?

So, being with Jiang Nuo is not because she loves him so much, but because she realized her opportunity to enter the world lies with Jiang Nuo?

"All of us, including Jiang Nuo himself, know that when the Grand Aunt first got together with him, it wasn’t out of love; she was just moved by Jiang Nuo. That selfless love of Jiang Nuo’s, the Grand Aunt couldn’t repay, so she could only treat him better, and this ’better’ indirectly shows – the Grand Aunt feels guilty, guilty that she can’t fully reciprocate his feelings."

"Does Jiang Nuo know that the Grand Aunt is using him?"

"Do you think Jiang Nuo is stupid? Otherwise, why do you think he feels so insecure and likes to show off his love to the world? The more insecure, the more he wants the world to know." Mu Mingyu’s eyes shone with a light that seemed to see through everything, at this moment, he looked as if he had wings of an angel behind him, radiating brightly.

"And he’s still willing?" Gong Leitian was surprised.

"As you said, for hundreds of years, the Grand Aunt hasn’t lacked suitors, but only Jiang Nuo is willing to give everything for the Grand Aunt without complaints, so only he won the Grand Aunt’s favor. But this favor comes with a condition – not to shake the Grand Aunt’s faith in ascension. Otherwise, why do you think the Grand Aunt would so easily accept his feelings?"

"Is there really someone in this world who lives for love?" Although Gong Leitian was also quite surprised when he saw Jiang Nuo, he couldn’t help but sigh.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a person that by stark contrast, all other suitors pale in comparison.
