Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 207 - Trouble Before A Unique Realm?

Long Di politely stepped forward, “Hello, my name is Long Di and I am Yaomu Shou’s bodyguard.”

Like hell you are!

****

Wan Li looked to Yaomu Shou, flabbergasted, “Young miss!”

Yaomu Shou feigned shock with a hand to her chest, “I say, second uncle, are you truly intending to neglect your duties?”

“You…! I…!” Wan Li was speechless, and this was further exacerbated by Long Di’s inclusion.

The latter shook his head with a tsk. “I have to admit, having such a coworker is disheartening.”

Your face is disheartening!

“Ban Yan!?” Wan Li called out to the void, only to receive no response. Ban Yan wasn’t going to get involved in these muddy waters.

Wan Li was going to get punished if he continued to indulge the young miss and her unreasonable requests.

The thing is… if her requests held water, then he would still be punished. Why did he have to suffer!?

Couldn’t this freaky little thing fix his own problems!?

‘Hold on!’ A thought suddenly came to Wan Li.

He then stared at Long Di for a moment as he worked to formulate his next words.

“Y-You’re able to cultivate somatic essence, aren’t you?”

When Wan Li asked this, everyone went silent. This was still an extremely difficult concept for them to come to terms with.

“Yes.” Long Di confirmed it.

Damn!

The minute he said this, many butt-holes were clenched tight. This was the only appropriate response.

Long Di being able to dual cultivate two of the most counter-opposing energies under the heavens just didn’t make sense, no matter how they spun it. Yet, this impossibility was made possible through him.

Wan Li was still shaken up by this confirmation. “I-Is your cultivation of s-somatic essence the same level as your cultivation of spiritual essence?”

Long Di felt a hand crawling up his chest toward his mouth before he wordlessly slapped it away.

He didn’t need to look to know it was Yaomu Shou. He needed to get her a hobby. Her hand-to-mouth fetishes were getting out of hand. Maybe stamp collecting? Or extreme ironing.

That last one’s a real sport by the way.

“My cultivation for somatic essence is only at the First Duan Cauldron Forging Realm. Though I think I can fight above that,” he said after thinking for a bit.

Wan Li couldn’t even be bothered to begin to comprehend this. So not only was Long Di able to fight above his cultivation as a spiritual cultivator, but he was also able to do the same as a somatic essence cultivator!?

Was there any room for anyone else!? Was he trying to low-key tell everyone that they were trash!? Because if so… message received!

“Uhm, show me,” Wan Li requested, stepping back. He didn’t know what he was stepping back for, but it couldn’t hurt, right?

Seeing this, everyone did the same. The whole thing was too freaky.

D-D-Dum!

His cauldrons burst into being with a stately and heavy aura. None of the cores were lit, they were all dull, as if dead.

Wan Li stepped forward to get a better look, followed by everyone else.

“I-Incredible!” he commented.

Long Di felt like an animal at a zoo but remained silent in front of everyone’s gazes. The occasional slapping away of Yaomu Shou’s hands was heard, but apart from that, it was quiet.

“R-Right…” Wan Li finally had an eyeful of this impossible phenomenon.

He then raised his hand, and powerful somatic essence flared upon it. When one reached his level, the somatic essence could be summoned outside the body.

Shu!

Wan Li moved at lightning speed before it landed on Long Di’s stomach where his dantian was located.

Naturally, Long Di was confused by this and asked, “What are you—”

His question was cut off when an intense flood of somatic essence rushed into his body and covered his primary dantian and crystal dantians.

“Don’t worry!” Wan Li announced, stepping back.

“I’ve hidden the fluctuations of your spiritual essence so the laws in there won’t sense it. Once you only use your somatic essence to fight, you should be fine. Though I don’t know how much help you can render as a cauldron forging expert, it can allow you to enter at the very least.”

“Does that mean I can’t cultivate?” asked Long Di.

Wan Li spread his hands helplessly. “The seal I’ve placed on you is quite weak, and you can break it yourself whenever you wish. However, if you cultivate your spiritual essence in there, your spiritual cultivation base will be exposed. Once that happens, the laws there will wipe you out.”

“Right…” Long Di sighed in disappointment when he felt the rich spiritual energy coming from within.

He retracted his cauldrons and nodded to Yaomu Shou.

She nodded back and reached for his mouth, which he slapped away. She then nodded to him as if telling him it was okay to do this, but he shook his head to tell her it wasn’t.

Looking down in sadness, Yaomu Shou waved to her second uncle for them to get started.

“Before I do this, you must also know that the time inside the Spiritual Bingqi realm moves differently. So to you all, it will feel like a year, but for us, it’ll be a little longer than an instant. Take the time to cultivate first before you look for weapons or anything else.”

“So it’s like the hyperbolic time chamber?” Long Di asked him.

“I don’t know what that is,” Wan Li replied.

Long Di shrugged in response. “Fair, you guys do have it far better here and all.”

“I still don’t understand half the things you say, and ignore most of it, so I’ll do that here as well,” Wan Li said with a deep sigh.

“Once again, fair,” said Long Di.

Ignoring him, Wan Li thrust out his palm, everyone to fly towards the glowing archway.

The scale of the arch truly became known to them at this distance. They were like specks of dust before the whole thing.

Once they arrived at the entry point, they passed through something akin to a film of water.

Ripples spread across the surface. This was the only thing that signified their entry.

Though they took a while to enter due to their… issues. They were hardly the only ones entering now, so they didn’t draw too much attention.

However, some demons far into the distance eyed this group menacingly.

“You all saw his cultivation base, right?”

“I saw it!”

“Good! Make sure his corpse is left in the Spiritual Bingqi Realm!”

“Leave it to me!”
