The Three Xiaos and Zhao Gongming on Three Immortal Island

"Care to visit Three Immortal Island?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Ji nodded. After all, he had originally sought out the Three Xiaos to find a disciple for Tongtian.

He hadn't expected Zhao Gongming to be an unexpected bonus.

Seeing Nan Ji nod, Zhao Gongming was overjoyed. He wanted to put an arm around Nan Ji, but his hand never quite reached Nan Ji's shoulder.

Zhao Gongming was naturally unrestrained and righteous, but Nan Ji had saved his life. This made him feel somewhat awkward.

Nan Ji, of course, didn't notice this and chatted with Zhao Gongming casually as they traveled.

"Fellow Daoist Gongming, have you ever considered finding a Master?"

"In this Great Desolation, having a Master at least provides some security."

"Even having many fellow disciples isn't necessarily a bad thing."

However, as Nan Ji spoke, he realized Zhao Gongming showed no interest.

What Nan Ji didn't know was that Zhao Gongming did want a Master, and if it were one of the Three Pure Ones, that would be even better.

But precisely because it was so good, and Nan Ji before him had saved his life, how could he shamelessly ask for another favor?

Therefore, regarding Nan Ji's words, Zhao Gongming wanted to, but knew he couldn't say more.

Upon arriving at Three Immortal Island, Zhao Gongming looked at the scenery within the island and immediately felt his mood lighten.

Those Primordial Yin-Yang Flood Dragons had been harassing his sisters for days. If not for the formations within Three Immortal Island, the Three Xiaos would have already been captured for dual cultivation.

From then on, there would be no more worries.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gongming shouted loudly, "Third sisters, come out quickly! Come and thank our savior."

Because of Zhao Gongming's words, three streaks of light were immediately seen flying out from Three Immortal Island.

"Big Brother, you're alive!"

Qiongxiao, the youngest, exclaimed in surprise.

"Uh…"

Zhao Gongming knew that Qiongxiao was unrestrained with her words, but her heart was not bad.

Nan Ji, listening from the side, almost burst out laughing.

Bixiao, hearing this, glared at Qiongxiao, "Third Sister, what are you saying? Really…"

Yunxiao, the eldest, looked at Zhao Gongming's disheveled appearance, her eyes instantly misting over. She choked out, "Big Brother, it's good that you're okay. It's good that you're okay."

She thought of how the repeated harassment by those two primordial flood dragons had forced her siblings and herself to live in hiding, enduring immense hardship.

Seeing his three sisters, Zhao Gongming smiled calmly, "Sisters, those two flood dragons have been slain by Fellow Daoist Nan Ji. Why aren't you quickly thanking our savior?"

Hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Yunxiao looked at Nan Ji with a complex expression, saying apologetically, "It was Yunxiao's lack of foresight. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to possess such great power. Please accept Yunxiao's bow of gratitude for saving us."

As she spoke, Yunxiao was about to bow to Nan Ji.

Nan Ji, seeing this, felt a bit embarrassed by Yunxiao's actions. He quickly stepped aside and scratched his head, "It was all thanks to the treasures of our Masters. I… I was just alright."

Qiongxiao, however, stared at Nan Ji with wide eyes, "So you're this powerful."

Bixiao glared at her again and pulled Qiongxiao along, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for saving us siblings."

Qiongxiao stuck out her tongue at Bixiao's behavior but obediently bowed towards Nan Ji with Bixiao.

Although Nan Ji bowed to the Three Pure Ones and Hongjun daily, he was now made to feel shy by the Three Xiaos, dodging their gestures.

Watching Nan Ji's reaction, Zhao Gongming inwardly resolved to repay him handsomely in the future. He then said heartily, "Alright, we can't have our savior standing here. Quickly, escort Fellow Daoist Nan Ji to the Three Xiaos' cave."

Thus, led by the Three Xiaos, they entered the stone cave on the island together.

Upon their arrival, Qiongxiao was curious. After glancing at Nan Ji, she wrapped her arms around Zhao Gongming's arm, "Big Brother, hurry and tell us how Fellow Daoist Nan Ji slew those two beasts."

Nan Ji surveyed his surroundings. Although simple, it was exceptionally clean, which was quite nice.

Watching the excited siblings, Nan Ji sighed with emotion. Although he didn't have any cheat-like systems, he was fortunate to be protected by the Three Pure Ones after his transformation, so he had never experienced such a near-death situation.

With this thought, Nan Ji took out a jade pot and five jade cups, and dissolved a sesame-seed-sized Wine Crystal into them.

Instantly, a rich aroma of wine emanated from the jade pot.

"Fellow Daoist, what is this?"

This time, before Qiongxiao could speak, Zhao Gongming was immediately captivated by the fragrance of the Wine Crystal.

"This is called wine, a very fine beverage," Nan Ji introduced.

He inwardly felt that amidst the relief the siblings were experiencing, this wine would be perfectly suited for the occasion.

After speaking, Nan Ji poured a cup for each of them.

However, seeing that Qiongxiao and Bixiao had too low cultivation, he could only pour half a cup for each of them.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Nan Ji, you're playing favorites! Why did you only pour a little for me and my second sister?"

Qiongxiao said as she looked at the wine cup Nan Ji handed her.

"Little sister, Fellow Daoist Nan Ji is our savior, how can you speak like that… Fellow Daoist Nan Ji, please don't mind."

Bixiao first glanced at Qiongxiao with dissatisfaction, then explained to Nan Ji.

Well, they were all calling him "Daoist Brother" like Zhao Gongming.

At this moment, Nan Ji seemed to understand. Although these Three Xiaos were not Tongtian's four direct disciples, they were given the best treasures and formations.

These three sisters had different personalities but were exceptionally lively. Nan Ji even considered whether he should try to poach them for the Heavenly Origin Sect first.

But then he thought about his Master, Venerable Yuanshi's personality, and figured only the eldest, Yunxiao, would likely be able to tolerate them.

Thinking this, Nan Ji smiled and looked at Qiongxiao with a mischievous grin, saying, "Then try it. No matter how much you drink, there's plenty!"

As he spoke, Nan Ji patted the jade pot beside him, which was larger than a human head.

"Hmph, then you can't go back on your word!"

With that, under everyone's watchful eyes, Qiongxiao downed the half-cup of wine in one go.

As the potent liquid entered her mouth, Qiongxiao immediately felt an incredibly overbearing spiciness.

This spiciness not only came from the wine itself but also contained wisps of Zhurong's laws of fire.

Qiongxiao's face turned red from holding her breath, but seeing everyone staring at her, she still managed to swallow the wine with difficulty.

"Cough, cough!"

As the wine went down, Qiongxiao coughed twice, choked by the liquor, and said somewhat angrily, "Daoist Brother Nan Ji, how could you be so cruel..."

But before Qiongxiao could finish, the wine's intoxication surged into her soul, and along with wisps of the Twelve Ancestor Witches' laws, it caused her to involuntarily sit cross-legged and sink into a trance.

"Please don't be offended, Daoist friend!"

This time, it was the eldest, Yunxiao, who looked at Nan Ji with some apology, but also with concern for Qiongxiao.

After seeing this, Nan Ji smiled and said, "It's nothing. This Wine Crystal has a unique flavor and contains some laws. You should all try it too."

Bixiao also understood why Daoist Brother Nan Ji had only poured half a cup for her and her third sister.

She took a cautious sip of the wine, and as it went down, she stuck out her tongue, saying, "So spicy, so spicy!"

But she also knew it was a good thing, so she forced herself to sip it little by little.

Yunxiao, on the other hand, exclaimed after drinking, "Wow, what a rich scent of spiritual fruit."

Zhao Gongming, after drinking, burst into laughter, "Hahaha, excellent! This stuff is potent, good! Good wine!"

Perhaps it was the wine that had invigorated Zhao Gongming.

He then spoke, sharing with his sisters the story of Nan Ji battling two flood dragons and subsequently encountering the Ancestor Dragon.
