Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 9: Curious Baby

Li Mo sat at his computer and spoke without turning his head.

Liu Yuxuan arranged her skirt, bolted from the bed and put on her boots. Then she looked at Li Mo in a daze.

She still had a vague recollection as to what happened last night. She wanted to know who was Li Mo. How did he make Hei Hu give him face and release me?

Who is western citys Old Li to you?

Western citys Old Li was a famous man in Feng City. Liu Yuxuan heard Li Mo introduce himself with Li as family name, and the only one famous in Feng City with that family name was Old Li from the western part of the city. 

Dont know him.

Then whos your father.

I dont have a father. Li Mo was blunt.

You are nobody, so why did Hei Hu give you face?

Ah, he gave face to me, not to others.

How old are you?

If we take into account this year, I should be 15.

Liu Yuxuan was speechless.

Liu Yuxuan was 25, and Li Mo looked like an underage kid to her.

Did you carry me back?

Liu Yuxuan turned to Li Mo, wanting to see his face.

Did you save me?

Li Mo didnt reply.

Did you pull my skirt?

How can I? Im not that kind of guy. Li Mo turned his head, having a big reaction.

Pff.

Liu Yuxuan giggled.

He was clearly lying.

Liu Yuxuan was a police officer and, though she didnt enter her fourth year in the force, she had an amazing skill that helped catch criminals countless times before. Or she wouldnt have earned the moniker of number one sister in the force in Feng City. 

Liu Yuxuan had been after Hei Hus drug organization for a long time. This time she got a tip saying Hei Hu was going to make an exchange in the Empress Clubhouse. Because it came at the last minute, she went alone undercover. But she didnt expect it was all a ruse. Hei Hu was planning on getting rid of her. 

Last night, Hei Hu said Liu Yuxuan had a beautiful birthmark and that he wanted to see it, and that he wanted to stick her out her butt.

This kid must be curious and pulled on it wanting to take a look.

But isnt this curiosity a bit too strong?

Once she recalled the state of her skirt, Liu Yuxuan couldnt help but flush red.

Regardless, if it werent for you, last night, I I wont say it. In short, thank you.

Ah, it was nothing.

Liu Yuxuan was flabbergast.

She couldnt see through this kid at all.

If you run into trouble, call this number. I am Liu Yuxuan, from the criminal investigation department in this city.

Liu Yuxuan wrote down her phone number.

You want to leave?

Yes. Liu Yuxuan nodded.

Ive slept for so long, Hei Hu mustve run away by now. I want to give my report immediately.

Then see you.

Right. Liu Yuxuan walked to the door when Li Mo scratched his head, Um um, where on your body is the birthmark?

Liu Yuxuan flushed and threw Li Mo a glare.

Brat, dont ask what you shouldnt know!

Century Middle School, museum.

See this? This must be a unique pottery from the exceptional kiln in Kangxi Emperors reign(TN: 17th century.), priceless.

Huang Lixing used a thin cloth to carefully wipe the item in his hand.

The item in question, who was presumed to be ancient pottery, came in fact from a robot cat, formally known as Doraemon.

Huang Yao was angry, Dad, thats Doraemon from the Japanese anime with the same name. His owner is Da Xiong, it is an item of the modern era. Not something that came of the kiln in Kangxi Emperors reign, alright?

Huang Lixing didnt even raise his head as he scrubbed it very carefully, What Japanese anime leading role nonsense. They are the ones who plagiarized our history. And this pottery is the solid proof the robot cat came from us first!

You said Xiao He riding a bicycle chasing after Han Xin below the moon is normal, that the bicycles were easy to build. How are you going to explain this robot cat? How did the ancient people know about machinery?

Huang Lixing shook his head, This machine isnt just a machine. From my research, in Kangxi Emperors reign, robot cats werent called such. Its true name was pottery cats. It spread among the Japanese, who modernized it and turned them into robot cats.

Huang Yao stamped her feet in anger and left in a huff. Every time she and her father talked about antiques, it would always end up in ruining her mood. 

Stop, where are you going?

Huang Lixing put down the pottery cat with extra care then stood up.

Ah, if youd only have a tenth of little Mos knowledge of antiques, I would be satisfied.

Huang Yao huffed in anger.

Fine, seeing how youre so embarrassed, I wont mention antiques around you. Huang Lixing waved, Lets talk about Li Mo.

Dad, Li Mo is not my perfect man.

Huang Lixings face went stiff, What do you know? That child, Li Mo, a man of ethics, of knowledge, with both moral and conduct. Hes the most outstanding youngster I ever seen. If you stand by his side, you will have a blessed life.

When has your old fathers eyesight betrayed him?

Huang Lixing picked up the cloth and went back to carefully wiping the pottery cat. 

The only good thing about that kid, Yang Chong, is that his family has some money. Nothing about him is worth admiring. He has no morals, doesnt study, fowl behavior. But if you dont want to come back before night, its also fine.

Are you free Saturday? Li Mo is. You two go out shopping and help me choose some clothes. Remember, go out in the morning and return in the afternoon the earliest. Coming back in the evening is also fine.

Dad!

That settles it. Huang Lixing waved and turned back to his pottery cat. 

Huang Yao left panting with rage.

Li Mo sat cross-legged on his bed with his hands on his Dantian, his finger forming a circle. Tendrils of blue energy surrounded his fingertips. As time passed, the tendrils formed blue pearls as big as soybeans, before they fell on the bed one after the other.

Tree spirits top-notch spiritual energy helps me attain Foundation very fast. But because the time was too short the Foundation isnt stable and making this leaked spiritual energy a waste.

Li Mo put the ten-odd blue pears in a bottle.

Foundation has been achieved and now all it needs is time to refine and stabilize itself. The most importance right now is to begin the Body Tempering.

Foundation was the basic to all cultivation. How good it was affected ones future achievements. In his past life, Li Mo didnt learn Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art when he attained Foundation, nor did he have the top notch spiritual energy from a tree spirit. It resulted in a flawed Foundation. It was like trying to build a building with a hundred floors on a two meter deep foundation. Was there a need to say what would happen?

In this life, top notch spiritual energy, a top notch cultivation method, let Li Mo attain a perfect Foundation, perfect to a fault.

A humans Foundation had an advance compared to tens of thousands of races in the cosmos. After attaining Foundation, the body worked itself to gather a bit of spiritual energy each day. The Foundation was the vat and spiritual energy the water. If the vat was filled yet water kept flowing in, it would overflow.  

To settle this problem, one needed to begin Body Tempering. Only when ones constitution increased would it enlarge the bodys capacity to hold more spiritual energy. 

After Foundation came Body Tempering Stage.

After Foundation, spiritual energy began a slow process of strengthening the body. But this took far too long. Even if one had a top notch cultivation method, a top notch Foundation, it would still take seventy to a hundred years to complete it. 

But with the help of heavenly treasures, the Body Tempering Stages process was shortened.

Hundred years old knotweed, millennium ginseng, ten thousand yeas old snow lotus, blood soul, yang flame I can only try to slowly gather these ingredients before the Gate of Origin officially opens.

His phone rang and looked to see Huang Lixing calling.

Little Mo, make some time Saturday and go out with little Yao. Dont tell me you dont have time or try finding an excuse. Ill send the money to your account.

Di-di-di

The call ended.

A message then came and Li Mo saw Huang Lixing wired him 20,000 RMB.

The message ended with: Use it however you want. If you cant come back tonight, then theres no need to.
