The King's Daughter

The once wide moat and tall city walls have collapsed over the years, leaving no trace. In their place stand skyscrapers and modern buildings.

Ancheng is a large city, and some areas retain some features from the old era, such as some ancient trees, ginkgo and maple trees, which are very thick and lush along some pedestrian streets.

But this is no longer the tree it was thousands of years ago.

Sword Immortal Jiang Qingyao, dressed in white and carrying a celestial sword, attracted attention, but it wasn't entirely puzzling, as many people have been wearing ancient costumes lately.

Some people knew that those were extraordinary individuals, people who had returned from behind the Great Curtain. But those unaware of the truth found the retro style quite eye-catching; for example, the white-clothed woman before them was incredibly beautiful, like a legendary sword immortal stepping out of a painting, guaranteed to turn heads.

The Sword Immortal was very quiet. She only took a small bite of the candied hawthorn and didn't eat any more. As time went by, things changed and people were no longer the same. This candied hawthorn could no longer taste like it used to.

The miniature Jiang Qingyao ate happily, finding the food even sweeter. However, when she thought of her master's voice and smile, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and she tried her best not to recall it.

It was still early before lunch, so Wang Xuan decided to take them shopping and buy some clothes to help them get used to the modern pace of life.

"A cell phone!" the Little Thing reminded us. We need to buy a communication tool first, since the Supernatural Finale and even long-distance communication is no longer effective.

"No problem, but don't play games, don't get addicted to short videos, and don't..." Wang Xuan said with a smile.

"What kind of game is it? Is it as exciting as roaming the world and fighting celestial demons? Is it as interesting as going deep into the divine sea to hunt demon saints?" the Little Thing asked back.

"Okay, none of your games are as exciting," Wang Xuan replied.

Soon, the two fairies, one big and one small, each received a brand-new Lotus Brand Phone. Wang Xuan explained it to them, which required patience and attention to detail, since they had never used one before.

However, he overthought it. The Little Thing was impatient and asked him to transmit a Spirit Imprint without him saying anything more, thinking it was too inefficient.

Then, Wang Xuan was stunned, because he saw the miniature version of the Sword Immortal begin to use it skillfully, typing, speaking, watching videos, and editing beautiful pictures with great proficiency.

He was speechless. Sword immortals were indeed skilled at learning skills; they adapted so quickly!

"What's your social media signal? Add me already! You're so slow, do you expect me to ask you to add me?" the miniature Jiang Qingyao complained.

Meanwhile, the Sword Immortal had recovered her composure and was no longer calm. She was holding her phone and taking a beautiful selfie.

She became increasingly happy as she took photos, her white robes fluttering in the breeze. She couldn't resist taking off, wanting to fly on her sword and capture a beautiful photo of herself as a sword immortal. Wang Xuan noticed and quickly stopped her.

"We're still in the city, stop fooling around. But your Immortal Dao aura is indeed beautiful. Here, send me two nice photos!" Wang Xuan asked for photos.

"No way! The way you're smiling doesn't look like a good person!" The Sword Immortal's smile was sweet and ethereal, but she was actually a little cunning. She glanced at him and turned her back on him, refusing his offer.

The Little Thing chimed in, saying, "That's right, that hateful smile is a bit like that flower thief from the Yin Yang Sect back then, who ended up getting killed!"

Snap!

Wang Xuan took the opportunity to pose for a photo with the two Sword Immortal, one big and one small, right in front of the camera, and it actually turned out quite well.

"Let's try to take a group photo a thousand years from now," Wang Xuan said in a good mood.

"Let's go buy some clothes!" He led the way, preparing to let them try on modern clothes to see how it looked. He was already starting to think about how to "arm" the two of them.

The commercial street was bustling, and even in the morning, it was still quite crowded. Soon after, Wang Xuan ran into an acquaintance— Qi Liandao, the Demon Ancestor's Second Son.

Wang Xuan was taken aback. Only a few days had passed, and not long ago they had even set their sights on the Demon Ancestor Blood Pool in the Immortal Realm. He never expected to encounter the Demon Ancestor's Second Son here.

Qi Liandao was shopping with a Female Demon Immortal. It was clear that he had "given up" and lost his ambition. He no longer wanted to continue on the path of the extraordinary, mainly because he had been repeatedly hit hard.

Of course, the culprits were Old Zhang and Wang Xuan.

When he first arrived, he encountered Old Zhang, who grabbed him by the neck and forced him to call him "uncle," which directly dampened his spirits.

Then he encountered Wang Xuan again and again, and was tormented to the point of losing his temper, even becoming somewhat weathered.

Now he goes with the flow, adapting to modern life like the other "Returners," and no longer thinks about the awful things that happened in the supernatural apocalypse.

"Fairy, you're also from behind the Great Curtain, right? Let's get acquainted. I'm Qi Liandao!" His eyes shone as he spotted Jiang Qingyao and greeted her warmly.

Wang Xuan was paying the bill. He had just bought some clothes for the two fairies, one big and one small. Although he wasn't standing next to the Sword Immortal, he wasn't far away either.

Such a large man was completely ignored by Qi Liandao, who didn't even see him, which was also related to the fact that he had concealed all his aura.

However, it was obvious that Qi Liandao only had eyes for the Sword Immortal, and even temporarily forgot about his female companion. He walked straight over and introduced himself in a very gentlemanly and enthusiastic manner.

"Clang!" The immortal sword behind the Sword Immortal rang out.

Qi Liandao's expression froze for a moment, then he hesitated and said, "You look... familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before."

Then he saw a smaller one, baring its teeth and claws at him, equally exquisite and beautiful, and... its appearance was so similar to the larger one.

"Can we Slay Demon here?" the Sword Immortal asked, clearly speaking to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan walked over, his expression unfriendly, staring at Qi Liandao.

At this moment, the Demon Ancestor's Second Son felt his hair stand on end. Why had he run into this unlucky person again? Every time he saw Wang Xuan being beaten and suffering several crushing defeats, he was completely defeated.

Fortunately, he felt that he hadn't fought Wang Xuan to the bitter end, and that everything had been discussed openly at Huang Ming's teahouse, allowing him to turn the page on Wang Xuan face to face and put an end to the feud.

"Old Wang, is this fairy yours..." He hadn't recognized the Sword Immortal yet, mainly because Jiang Qingyao was very low-key and had an exceptional ability to survive in the Immortal Realm, rarely showing herself in public.

Then, he glanced at the smaller version of the Sword Immortal and said to Wang Xuan, "This is... your daughter?"

These words left Wang Xuan somewhat bewildered, before he realized that he had come with murderous intent, but now he was slightly distracted and had not made a move.

"I'm so angry!" The Little Thing jumped up and down, then swung its leg in mid-air, kicking Qi Liandao into an ancient ginkgo tree by the roadside.

Qi Liandao was furious, then he held back, and finally he was very sad and wanted to cry. He couldn't even beat a child. He was kicked up a tree and he couldn't defend himself at all.

At this moment, he completely stopped thinking about ambitions and enduring the eternal night. He felt bitter and thought, "Am I really that useless?"

"Can it slay demons?" Jiang Qingyao asked again.

Wang Xuan said, "Forget it. Bloodshed is forbidden in modern cities. It was an unintentional mistake. He's not a bad person by nature. At least he didn't do anything evil in the Old Earth."

"Peerless Sword Immortal... Jiang Qingyao?!" Finally, Qi Liandao recognized her, his scalp tingling. His elder brother had once set his sights on this woman, but in the end, he didn't dare to take any action.

Now, he had unintentionally gotten into trouble again, and he felt incredibly unlucky, always thinking that nothing good could come of running into Wang Xuan.

"Misunderstanding, goodbye!" He jumped down from the tree, disappeared without looking back, truly afraid of being chopped up.

"Hehe..." Wang Xuan chuckled.

"You look just like someone from the Yin Yang Sect when you smile!" the Little Thing commented.

"If you say that again, I won't take you shopping!" Wang Xuan threatened.

"Tch, your bank account number and password are all linked to our phones. Can't I buy things myself? Besides, the clothes you picked out aren't nice at all!" The miniature Sword Immortal retorted mercilessly.

Next, the Sword Immortal adapted quickly. Wearing high heels, she walked with a graceful sway, and her demeanor changed dramatically.

Unfortunately, when Wang Xuan tried to sell slightly more revealing clothing, such as short skirts, she would tap him on the head with the hilt of her sword with a half-smile.

"Old Wang, where are you? It's almost time, don't be late." Qin Cheng called out in the Beyond the Deep Space group, because it was almost noon.

The miniature Sword Immortal, bored out of her mind, helped carry bags and looked after a pile of clothing and luxury packaging boxes. Then, upon seeing the message, she directly replied via voice on Wang Xuan's behalf, "Old Wang is buying us dresses!"

"Oh my god, it looks like a girl!" Qin Cheng was startled.

"It's a girl!" Chen Yongjie replied instantly, also in the Beyond the Deep Space group.

"Something's up!" Qing Mu chimed in.

Old Master Liu Huaian, who had also traveled to the Immortal Land and returned after sharing hardships, was naturally there as well. His message was rather subtle. "..."

Then it was Zhao Qinghan, who only posted six dots. "..."

Then Wu Yin: "..."

After replying, Little Thing left her phone aside. She was unhappy and bored because she felt exploited. After shopping, Jiang Qingyao made her carry even more shopping bags, second only to Wang Xuan. Sword Immortal herself looked beautiful and didn't carry many things.

In the Beyond the Deep Space group, Qin Cheng wiped his sweat and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Old Wang seemed to say he was going to bring some friends over. I think, without a doubt, he's a straightforward guy."

"Yes, that must be it, friends I met on the road!" Qing Mu quickly added.

"That's about it..." Old Master Liu Huaian concluded with six points.

Zhao Qinghan: "..."

Wu Yin: "..."

"It's almost time, let's go eat and meet some new friends," Wang Xuan said to Jiang Qingyao and the smaller version of Sword Immortal, stopping their shopping.

Wang Xuan had been to the Golden Years Restaurant many times, always accompanied by Qin Cheng, who was already quite wealthy back in his student days.

When he returned, Wang Xuan suddenly remembered that his ex-girlfriend Ling Wei had also appeared here before. Her family had arranged for her to meet a promising young man from the Wu Family.

In fact, the Ling Family, Wu Family, and Zhou Family joined forces there that time, intending to secretly excavate the underground treasures of Qingcheng Mountain.

It was on that occasion that Wang Xuan first met Wu Yin here, and they even had a verbal altercation, which made Wu Yin so angry that she was breathing rapidly, her chest heaving, and her evening dress almost burst open.

Everything seems like it was just yesterday.

Qin Cheng arrived early. He was always very proactive and liked to do things ahead of time. He was waiting for Wang Xuan outside, and he was stunned from a distance.

Then, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Wang, you're really something! You brought the whole family? You're so handsome, how can you be so beautiful?!"

He exclaimed with genuine admiration, then quickly said, "Did you hear me say that I'm getting married in three months, and you're under a lot of pressure, so..."

He was completely unaware that the Little Thing's gaze was murderous. With a bang, the miniature Sword Immortal threw a punch, sending him flying. He ended up hanging on the wall, unable to get down.

"Ouch!" He was a little bewildered. Had he been hung on the wall by a child? He quickly cried out, "Put me down, little beauty, I'm sorry, you two should be sisters!"

Inside the restaurant, Qing Mu and Chen Yongjie quickly came out, and upon seeing Jiang Qingyao and the Little Thing, they both exclaimed in surprise, "Fairy!"

They had seen it before, more than once. In the very early days, Old Chen was so accustomed to swords by the Sword Immortal in the Inner Scenery Realm that he felt like vomiting whenever he saw one. For a while, he kept saying that he was giving up swords!

"..." In the restaurant, after hearing his disciples and grand-disciples call out the word "fairy," Old Master Liu Huaian first made six dots before coming out.

Zhao Qinghan: "..."

Wu Yin: "..."

The two of them arrived outside the restaurant, and without any introductions or explanations, their gazes fell directly on the two Dao Body, one tall and one short.

(Okay, this part is censored.)
