I Am Supreme
chapter-639

"Oh—"

Ji Lingxi felt her vision turn dark as her delicate body swayed; she stumbled, unable to support herself.

Shangguan Lingxiu quickly rushed forward to help her up. There was only a single thought in their minds; were they embroiled in a nightmare? Only a chaotic buzz remained in their heads. It was an irritation that could not just be simply ignored, and any attempt to decipher it would just create even more confusion.

Ji Lingxi's thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion.

'I never knew that he would be able to do that... yet, he was the one who finally gave birth! Still... a kitten?'

Shangguan Lingxiu was also pondering upon the situation.

'By chance, is Yun Yang actually a cat... a cat demon? Perhaps he might even be a female cat!'

How else would it be possible to have spawned a cat? What more, twins! In a single delivery!

A single glance at the two kittens was all it took to confirm that they were, without doubt, siblings.

However, it all still seemed so absurd!

Compared to the speechless expressions etched on the faces of the girls, the two cats seemed to not notice anything amiss. To the knowledge of Whitey Two and Whitey Three, everyone here was their master's friends, be it Ji Lingxi or Shangguan Lingxiu. Hence, they appeared to be at ease, not paying too much heed towards their surroundings.

In the mortal realm, they uttered two more purrs, waved their tails and leaped off their master's body. The snow-like ivory bodies landed on the ground like two little pom poms - it was truly a stunning and pleasant sight.

Already familiar with the ladies' presences, they snuggled against Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu's legs intimately before heading out with a swish of their tails.

They behaved as if there was no one around.

'Meow—meow—meow…'

Upon hearing a few mewls of joy, Big Whitey, Whitey Four, and Whitey Five dashed over quickly. The five white pom poms were happily reunited, huddling merrily in a heap.

"Oh, it's Whitey Two and Whitey Three…" mumbled Ji Lingxi absently.

Upon realizing what she had just said, she exclaimed loudly, "It's Whitey Two and Whitey Three!"

Shangguan Lingxiu felt her head spinning. "What? What Whitey…?"

In truth, Shangguan Lingxiu had actually met the few Whiteys much earlier. She had made her first contact with the Whiteys in the Empire of Ziyou, but she had never seen Whitey Two and Whitey Three in this form. Overwhelmed by what she had witnessed earlier, her train of thought was completely derailed, resulting in a huge error in judgment!

"These two – Yun Yang did not give birth to them..." Ji Lingxi did not know whether to laugh or to cry. She pressed her hand against her forehead, lamenting on the huge blunder she had helped foster. "They are actually Yun Yang's pets, and there are quite a number of them – they're not just twins. In fact, they're quintuplets..."

With that being said, Shangguan Lingxiu also recognized them instantly, her face turning a deep red from embarrassment. She let out two coughs and was silent for half a beat, at a loss for words.

Facing each other, their sheepish expressions were reflected in each other's gaze.

What was I even thinking? Did I actually believe that those two little things were delivered by Yun Yang? How could he possibly have given birth to them?

Furthermore, what's with that cat demon nonsense? The other thing about the female cat?

This direction of thought was truly the result of an overactive imagination.

"Nonetheless, how did this two rascals appear on the bed? How did we not notice them before? How did they even manage to slide under Yun Yang's clothes, settling down in that particular position?" Shangguan Lingxiu asked in a puzzled manner.

"About that…" Ji smiled mischievously as she rolled her eyes. "Sister Lingxiu, I'm afraid you completely disregarded everything else after spending all your attention on your lover boy…"

Shangguan Lingxiu lapsed into a state of utter mortification. "You foul-mouthed little lady! Quit spouting such nonsense! You might as well speak for yourself!"

Yun Yang, at present, still had himself submerged in the new realm; he was yet to regain consciousness. Shangguan Lingxiu and Ji Lingxi waited until it was dinner time before agreeing that it was time to eat. "Let's go and have a bite first. This child should be fine after dinner."

As the two girls were in the midst of dining…

There was a silhouette at the door, and Yun Yang strode in moments later, his body clean and fresh. He looked like a starving ghost. "Oh my, I could die from hunger - why didn't you call for me when you girls started to eat?"

Under the girls' dumbstruck gaze, Yun Yang swept away a table's worth of food in mere seconds. " What are you girls looking at? Bring in more dishes!"

Yun Yang felt as though he had transformed into a bottomless pit - his old condition of intense hunger had returned.

His stomach felt like an infinite void; he was rather certain that he could devour a whole dragon!

Hence, the chefs of the Residence of Yun burst into action once more.

It was truly fortunate that the chefs of the Yun Residence were mostly old cooks who were familiar and possessed quite a fair bit of experience with regards to his intense hunger episodes. Hence, the situation was still manageable; although it was not exactly a smooth process, at least it was not total pandemonium. There was still order amongst the clutter!

Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu looked on helplessly as Yun Yang devoured three table's worth of dishes without a single break before putting down his chopsticks.

"Yun Yang… h-have you… eaten enough?" Ji Lingxi gulped, the sides of her mouth quivered as she surveyed the aftermath of sixteen empty dishes left on the table. This was the third table – the fourth if you included the one before.

"Yes, I am quite full," Yun Yang was slightly embarrassed as he hugged the beginnings of a paunch and chuckled dryly. "Why aren't you girls eating?"

Eat?

The edges of their mouths twitched slightly. Don't even mention that word; we are quite full merely by watching you devour everything. Now, we feel like throwing up.

"We are not hungry," said the two girls simultaneously.

"Yun Yang... are your wounds completely healed?" asked Shangguan Lingxiu in a tender voice.

"They're healed – all of them."

"They're healed? All of them? Truly healed?" Shangguan Lingxiu was still rather worried.

"Don't worry – he has completely recovered," Ji Lingxi gave a slightly peculiar gaze. "Besides his recovery, his cultivation base has been enhanced by a great deal. Am I right, Young Master Yun? Great Expert Yun?"

Yun Yang returned the suspicious stare with one of his own. "Although that wasn't exactly accurate, it wasn't completely off the mark either. Perhaps I'm not yet close to being among the ranks of the ultimate supremes. However, Great Lady Ji, I am no longer afraid of you."

Ji Lingxi stood up gracefully. "That's only a verbal statement. How can you prove it, physically? Perhaps you should try it out."

"Let's try it out then!" Yun Yang was totally up for it.

He had been tortured horribly by Ji Lingxi for the past few days; it was as if he had been strapped up and helplessly beaten. Now that he had a chance to seek revenge, how could he just let such an opportunity go by? His cultivation base had advanced tremendously, after all!

I'll definitely give this little girl a well-deserved beating!

Ji Lingxi was about to leave when she felt Shangguan Lingxiu tugging on her sleeve. "If you are trying it out, I-I... I'd like to see it - I wish to verify it with my own eyes!"

Sister, what are you playing at? You are talking in bits and pieces, as though there was something going on!

On the training ground, Ji Lingxi assumed her combat stance with a serious mien and offered a challenge to her opponent.

"Bring it on," Ji Lingxi prompted her challenger.

Yun Yang only laughed in response, feeling an overwhelmingly powerful surge of energy within his body, his heart filled with the confidence of a guaranteed victory. Placing his hands behind his back, he assumed the stance and role of a teacher as he started to speak nonchalantly.

"Lingxi, you have to respond properly and be extra wary this time - my cultivation base has advanced so much, I'm afraid I might cause you grievous hurt unintentionally."

Ji Lingxi snorted. "One move from me and I'll send you flying!"

"Hahahaha…" Even as his laughter echoed in the air, there was a sudden flash of a purple silhouette. Yun Yang had already charged over at the speed of lightning, his sudden dash so swift that it actually cut a gaping void in his wake.

A glow as beautiful as white jade illuminated both his hands as they plummeted towards the direction of Ji Lingxi's shoulders.

Shangguan Lingxiu stared intently, feeling anxious all over.

Both Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi's existing levels of strength was already more than what Shangguan Lingxiu had ever encountered. However, the simplest, most straight-forward exchange of fists could still be observed by the naked eye. Of course, this was done at a speed that was not even close to the maximum levels they could channel from their bodies. If they had been exerting their full strength, the only thing visible to Shangguan Lingxiu would have just been two blobs of light.

Ji Lingxi snorted. She genuinely meant to test and see if Yun Yang, upon his advancement, could get rid of that mysterious glow.

Retreating two steps, she suddenly lifted her head and hurled her entire body backward.

Thus, Yun Yang's palm, which was initially aimed at Ji Lingxi's shoulder, did not only miss its target by a far stretch - it was now directed towards Ji Lingxi's elevated and extended chest instead...

Cough!

Yun Yang was already being carried forward by his momentum. He had expected Ji Lingxi to flinch or cower in terror but was caught by surprise at the use of such a bizarre technique to counter his attack instead. The palm landed unforgivingly, but it was too late to retract it. Yun Yang's mindfulness was quick as lightning as he called out indignantly, "You! Such insolence…"
