I'm More Worried About the Wraith

Lingzhou Yue thought for a moment after speaking, then realized she had more to say.

So she took out a pot of wine from her bosom, her starry eyes slightly narrowed.

"Do you like beautiful women?"

How direct! Xiao Ran said with righteousness, "I do."

Lingzhou Yue nodded slightly, considering him a kindred spirit.

"What a coincidence, I like them too."

Ah, this...

Xiao Ran was stunned for a long time, unable to speak.

My master is a lesbian? Xiao Ran finally understood why his master's princess carry was so skilled.

Women are steel knives that scrape the bones, poison that pierces the intestines, you must restrain yourself!

But then again, his master was heroic and imposing, with an extraordinary aura, probably popular with all ages in the lesbian world.

Perhaps in the future, his lifelong affairs would have to be helped by his master...

"What are your plans, Master?"

"There's still time. Before the Elders Meeting, I'll take you to see a legendary beauty."

A legendary beauty? Xiao Ran didn't believe it.

"Are there any women in the cultivation world more beautiful than Master?"

Lingzhou Yue took a sip of wine.

"A painting painstakingly created by a painter, even if praised to the heavens by a steamed bun seller, wouldn't be happy... You know nothing about beauty. It's useless to praise me into a flower."

Xiao Ran thought:

No, Master, in my eyes, you are more beautiful than all the flowers in the world.

But the problem is, what did the steamed bun seller do to offend you?

Selling steamed buns is tiring, but which family doesn't have a few houses? Doesn't drive a BMW or Mercedes?

However, Xiao Ran was still very interested in the woman among women that his master mentioned.

What kind of sacred being could make his master evaluate her like that? Just as he was thinking, Lingzhou Yue raised her hand and placed it on Xiao Ran's left shoulder.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the woman among women."

Grabbing Xiao Ran's shoulder, Lingzhou Yue's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared.

A moment later, the two appeared several miles away, on another mountain peak facing Sword-Wielding Mountain from afar.

The summit was a maple forest, interspersed with purple cherry blossoms.

The winding paths in the forest led to secluded spots, making three turns in one step, so that the maple forest was like a screen, preventing outsiders from seeing the scenery inside the mountain at a glance.

In comparison, Sword-Wielding Mountain, a few miles away, was bare and didn't even have a hidden place to pee.

The difference between mountains is sometimes greater than the difference between people and pigs.

"Where is this?"

"Hundred Herbs Peak."

Xiao Ran followed behind his master, quietly stepping into the maple forest along the path.

Some shade-loving flowers and plants were planted on both sides of the path. The spring sunshine was gentle, and insects and butterflies were flying around, making it quite lively.

After walking a hundred steps, it suddenly opened up, revealing a spacious medicine garden.

The medicine garden was filled with all kinds of rare flowers, plants, and spiritual herbs.

The spring light filtered through the maple forest, scattered sparsely, and the breeze blew, stirring up ripples in the sea of flowers. The fragrance of exotic flowers and herbs filled the mountain, and rare animals, birds, and insects shuttled through it.

Xiao Ran even found two half-human-sized children in the grass.

On closer inspection, they were a pair of twin girls, about six or seven years old.

Their Cultivation was at Qi Refining. They had double bun hairstyles, wore cyan dresses with yellow diamond waistbands, and their pink, tender faces were round and chubby, with watery eyes that evoked pity!

Their facial features, figures, clothing, and accessories were exactly the same, as if they had been copied and pasted, making it difficult to distinguish them. The only difference was the wooden hairpins they wore on their heads—

One had a frog hairpin on the left side of her head.

The other had a cicada hairpin on the right side of her head.

Xiao Ran could tell that although the two girls' Cultivation was not high, they were extremely sensitive to plants and spiritual beasts, as if they could communicate with all living things.

They looked very serious as they weeded and caught insects.

But for every nine insects they caught, they reluctantly weeded only once, pushing the task onto each other.

It wasn't until they saw Lingzhou Yue that they put down their work and ran over to greet her excitedly.

One of them shouted from afar:

"Aunt Lingzhou Yue, why are you here? Aunt is so clean today, you've become even more beautiful!"

The other followed up: "Aunt Lingzhou Yue, will you help me weed?"

They sang in harmony, very skilled.

"Next time, for sure."

Lingzhou Yue naturally wouldn't fall for it.

"I've brought you a Senior Brother, my Direct Disciple Xiao Ran. What do you think? He's very handsome, right?"

One of the girls said, "Very handsome."

The other girl:

"Can he weed?"

Xiao Ran:

"..."

Lingzhou Yue waved her hand and introduced Xiao Ran:

"Chunwa, Qiuchan, they are the Direct Disciples of True Person Yinyue, the Alchemy Elder of this sect. Aren't they cute?"

They were indeed cute, but Xiao Ran wasn't a lolicon.

"Very cute."

He said insincerely.

Lingzhou Yue said:

"If you like them, you can choose one to be your Dao Companion when they grow up."

Raising a Dao Companion from childhood?

You're really pushing it!

Before Xiao Ran could respond, he heard the girl with the Qiuchan hairpin, speaking in a silver bell-like childish voice, say indifferently, "He's too young, I don't like him. I like more mature men."

"???"

Xiao Ran thought he had misheard.

One can imagine what it feels like for a man to be called small by a palm-sized loli.

Lingzhou Yue explained:

"Haha, don't be fooled by how they look. They're already over a hundred years old. You're still a little brother in front of them."

The girl with the Chunwa hairpin followed up, "Can Junior Brother help us weed? If you're very good at weeding, I might consider marrying you when I grow up."

Xiao Ran's forehead was covered in black lines.

At such a young age, they already know how to cultivate a tool man as a backup...

Who did they learn that from?

Xiao Ran deliberately put on a straight face and joked, "I don't know how to weed, I only know how to ruthlessly destroy flowers."

Qiuchan was stunned, trembling with fear, hiding behind Lingzhou Yue, staring indifferently at Xiao Ran, as if looking at a pervert.

Chunwa, however, said:

"When it's time to harvest the Hundred Spirits Flowers, can Junior Brother come and help destroy the flowers?"

Xiao Ran:

"..."

Lingzhou Yue laughed and drank wildly, the clear immortal nectar flowing down her jade neck into her snowy cleavage.

"The Elder Council is about to start, where did Master go?"

Master?

Xiao Ran was a little dazed, confirming that these words were spoken by his master.

Master's master? A stern yet gentle female voice came from the maple forest.

"How many times have I told you, call me Senior Sister."

Chunwa and Qiuchan both looked towards the bamboo house deep in the maple forest.

A middle-aged woman walked out with light steps.

The woman had white hair in a floating cloud bun, her figure soft and slender like a willow.

Her figure was delicate, her chest gentle and charming, possessing a natural charm.

In her clear and bright light blue eyes were reflected the sky and water, as if encompassing the vast universe, infinitely gentle.

She wore a sky-blue smoky shirt, the color of the water and sky blending together, simple yet containing sacredness, and revealing infinite romance in its undulations.

Upon closer inspection, each of the woman's facial features did not seem to be the most beautiful, but together, they were breathtakingly beautiful.

Among them, the finishing touch was the dark red Silver Moon Flower carved rune imprinted on her brow.

It was an embellishment, but it did not disrupt the overall symmetry, giving people a natural beauty, without any sense of superiority.

Looking at this legendary beauty in Master's words, a woman among women.

Xiao Ran felt that, in terms of hardware, Master's soul-stirring, picture-like face was more beautiful, and the figure hidden under the loose green robe was even more tempting...

But, this master's master, excelled in temperament!

A graceful lady is a gentleman's desire; the so-called beauty is on the water's edge.

Her facial features were gentle and charming, her temperament sacred and pure, and you couldn't produce a single unclean thought except to admire her.

This was not a woman among women, this was a goddess among goddesses! It's just that the flower shape on her brow seemed to carry a somewhat unspeakable taste.

Of course, this may have been Xiao Ran's illusion.

A prejudice from his previous life.

Seeing the woman just walking out of the maple forest, Lingzhou Yue hurriedly leaned close to her.

It was impossible to call her Senior Sister, she would never call her Senior Sister in this lifetime, how could Senior Sister be as fun as Master?

Back then, as a Dao Alliance prodigy of her generation, she gave up favorable conditions and followed True Person Yinyue to Zongzhi Mountain, serving as True Person Yinyue's Direct Disciple for three years.

As a result, she had no talent for herbs, but her swordsmanship was divine. After the death of the previous Sword-Wielding Elder, she defeated Master Boyun and succeeded to the position of Sword-Wielding Elder, which allowed her to stay in Zongzhi Mountain.

"Once a master, always a master. This disciple has only changed positions, how can I mess up the seniority and call you Senior Sister?"

True Person Yinyue shook her head and sighed.

"I can't argue with you."

Changing her usual laziness and domineering attitude, Lingzhou Yue actually took True Person Yinyue's hand and acted coquettishly:

"This disciple just encountered a rare humanoid Wraith, isn't Master worried at all?"

True Person Yinyue's face was calm and without waves.

"I'm more worried about the Wraith."

Lingzhou Yue was speechless and raised her hand to beckon Xiao Ran.

"Xiao Ran, hurry up and greet your Martial Aunt."

Xiao Ran was momentarily stunned.

You call her Master, but you want me to call her Martial Aunt?

That's just like you!

However, calling her Martial Ancestor would indeed make True Person Yinyue sound old, giving off a sense of being on the verge of death.

He quickly walked over, respectfully cupping his hands and bowing.

"Disciple Xiao Ran greets Martial Aunt Silver Moon."

True Person Yinyue didn't look at him.

Or rather, she had been looking at him the whole time.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, she put her hands behind her back and said to Lingzhou Yue,

"Bringing a mortal destined to be a mortal for life into the Immortal Gate by force, and even taking him as a Direct Disciple, have you considered your own reputation? Have you considered the criticism he will face in the sect, and how much pressure he will have to endure for the rest of his life?"

Lingzhou Yue was not ashamed but rather proud, hooking her arm around Silver Moon's shoulder and laughing,

"Isn't that why I came to ask Master for help?"

True Person Yinyue's eyes showed tenderness, but her expression remained cold.

"How can I help you?"

Before Lingzhou Yue could speak, Chunwa jumped out, volunteering, "Martial Aunt said, let us grow up and become Daoist partners with Junior Brother Xiao Ran."

"Pfft—"

Lingzhou Yue spat out a mouthful of fake wine, raised her hand and threw the naughty child into the medicine field, then suddenly her expression turned stern, and she said seriously, "Disciple needs a medicine that can extend a mortal's life by a thousand years."
