Can the Saintess Really Neglect Her Proper Duties?

This is a question worth considering.

After all... there are always some righteous people and "Heaven's Chosen" who don't like spoiled brats and will jump out to cause trouble?

"However, relatively speaking, being high-profile will definitely cause less trouble than being low-profile, at least you won't encounter all sorts of difficulties."

Qi Zi·Fan stood on the edge of the boundary boat, looking down at the surging waves of the Boundary River below.

Rumble!

The surging waves were hundreds of feet high, and their crashing was terrifying, but the World Ship was protected by an array, so it remained relatively stable.

In the distance, a Ferocious Beast had half its body above the river surface, glaring menacingly.

Furthermore, numerous unidentified Ferocious Beast were fighting each other, and the surface of the river in some areas was stained with blood in various colorful patterns.

This scene reminded Qi Zi·Fan of ' Godzilla '.

"But these guys look much more terrifying than Godzilla..."

Just as this fellow was beginning to yearn for it.

The Taiyi Disciple finally couldn't sit still any longer and went to fetch the elder guarding the boundary ship...

A middle-aged female cultivator, with a very high level of cultivation, had already reached the Immortal Platform.

She stared directly at Qi Zi·Fan, her eyes shimmering with emotion. "Qi Zixiao, as the Purple Mansion Saintess, you are so arrogant and unreasonable. Aren't you afraid of damaging your dignity and the prestige of the Purple Mansion?"

"Oh?"

Qi Zi·Fan smiled.

"Would it damage your reputation?"

"If I, as Saintess, were not arrogant and domineering, wouldn't I be neglecting my duties?"

The middle-aged female cultivator had originally come to cause trouble, but Qi Zi·Fan's words left her speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Originally, she thought she could use the principles of righteousness and the sect to suppress Qi Zixiao and prevent him from going too far...

After all, she is Purple Mansion Saintess; she still needs to maintain her dignity and composure, right?

Little did she know that the person controlling her was not Qi Zixiao, but Qi Zi·Fan!

Qi Zi·Fan?

So what if someone is arrogant and domineering?!

I'm going to be arrogant and domineering!

If you're not arrogant and domineering, then you're just like any other person, right?

As Saintess, if she weren't arrogant and domineering, wouldn't that be neglecting her duties?!

Qi Zi·Fan's words completely stunned the middle-aged woman. She had thought that Qi Zixiao would have many different answers, but she never expected it to be like this.

"You..."

She opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

"How about this Saintess?"

Qi Zi·Fan looked at her calmly. "Could it be that Saintess I said is wrong?"

"As Saintess, I should be a bit arrogant and domineering; otherwise, how can I demonstrate my status as Saintess?"

"This is outrageous!"

The middle-aged female cultivator shouted angrily, "With such character... I am ashamed to associate with you. There's no point in talking to you anymore, let's not chat!"

She turned and left...

This is really frustrating!

beat?

As an elder, she really wouldn't be so shameless as to bully a young person, especially since she hit the Purple Mansion Saintess... This matter could be a big deal or a small deal.

If things get out of hand in the Purple Mansion, she definitely won't have an easy time.

We can't fight, and we can't win an argument, so what else can we do?

Just get out of there!

However, how could Qi Zi·Fan had already decided to be arrogant to the end, just end it like that?

He chuckled, "You came to me all along, did you think this Saintess wanted to chat with you?"

"You dare to challenge me?"

Call!!!!

The middle-aged female cultivator was so angry she almost exploded.

I, a dignified Grand Cultivator of the Celestial Platform Realm, am not worthy to speak to you?!

Don't think you're so great just because you're the Purple Mansion Saintess!

She almost couldn't resist teaching him a lesson, but just then... a faint aura came from the void, causing her expression to change drastically.

He then snorted coldly, said nothing more, and went into the cabin.

"Jiu Wu... Hmph!"

She endured it!

There was no other way. If they couldn't bear it, it wouldn't just be a matter of being harassed by the Purple Mansion Holy Land after beating Qi Zixiao; they would have to kneel down on the spot.

She considered herself strong, but when she fought with Jiu Wu...

After watching Qi Zi·Fan act arrogantly and even anger Elder Taiyi to the point of leaving, the cultivators from all the sects were dumbfounded!

At the same time, they had so many complaints that they were about to explode, and they couldn't help but exchange them via telepathy.

"As Saintess, wouldn't it be a waste of her duties if she weren't arrogant and domineering?!"

"Who told her that the Saintess's 'proper profession' is to be arrogant and domineering?"

"This is too... too..."

However.

Their astonishment was only just beginning.

As soon as the middle-aged female cultivator turned and entered the cabin, Dan the Fatty, Divine Calculator, and several Protector Disciple, among the many Purple Mansion Disciple behind Qi Zi·Fan, jumped out immediately.

"Your Highness is absolutely right!!!" the Divine Calculator said loudly.

"Your Highness's words are absolutely true! If one isn't arrogant and domineering, wouldn't that be neglecting one's duties?!" Dan the Fatty retorted, not to be outdone...

Several Protector Disciple, including Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining, immediately praised the act.

Even Zhong Feiyu, filled with 'admiration,' said, 'Your Highness is wise!'

"..."

This series of changes left cultivators from all sects completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on here?!

Have all the Purple Mansion Disciple gone mad?

Shouldn't the Saintess's "proper duty" be to cultivate diligently, strive for excellence, display unparalleled talent, and suppress her peers?

When did it become a situation where not being arrogant and domineering was considered neglecting one's duties?

Is this some kind of joke?!

I don't understand!

No one knew what was going on, and they looked at each other dumbfounded.

but...

A small number of cultivators from various sects, whose status and position were not low, suddenly had an "aha" moment!

Surely everyone in the Purple Mansion Holy Land isn't a fool? Since they all say that, there must be a reason behind it!

Moreover, it's a principle we haven't even come to understand!

The eyes of the current 'Sword Master' of the Sword and Sabre Divine Sect lit up, and in that instant, many thoughts came to mind.

"That's just how it is!"

"I understand!"

"Since you have status, position, and power, why not be arrogant and domineering? Why be timid and hide yourself?"

"Only the weak need to hide!"

"The strong should be arrogant and domineering."

"For example, right now, although Qi Zixiao is incredibly arrogant and domineering, who can do anything to her?!"

"This swordsman... should be the same!"

Isn't it just arrogance?

Anyone can do that!

Jianzi felt he had grasped the essence of things~~~~

It wasn't just him.

This time, many cultivators with high status in their own sects around them had "gained some insight".

even...

I think the saying, "As a person of XX, wouldn't it be a waste of one's job not to be arrogant and domineering?" is absolutely true and makes perfect sense!

They all understood!

"Hey, it's really fun to be arrogant and domineering."

Qi Zi·Fan stood at the edge of the boundary ship, muttering to himself, "I'm afraid Elder Taiyi dislikes me very much, and has even wanted to beat me up more than once."

"Unfortunately, she didn't dare..."

"I am so arrogant and domineering that she will definitely think I have something to rely on, and thus become wary of me."

"As expected... Su the Runner is already a big shot who has climbed quite a few levels in this field!"

He muttered to himself for a moment.

At this moment, the Boundary Boat, with its astonishing speed, had already sailed to the center of the Boundary River...

Looking around, all one could see were surging waves.

Countless Ferocious Beast surrounded them, eyeing them menacingly.

Although the Ferocious Beast did not possess much intelligence, their long-term observations had made them aware of the power of the Boundary Ship, and they dared not attack it recklessly.

So there were no thrills or dangers along the way.

but...

After initially being surprised by Qi Zi·Fan's arrogance, many cultivators were quickly drawn to the scene in the Boundary River.

Almost no one pays attention to Qi Zi·Fan anymore.

Qi Zi·Fan was happy to have some peace and quiet.

But not long after, he realized there was a problem.

The Boundary Ship is slowing down!

Although they are still moving forward, their speed is getting slower and slower...

Soon, more and more people discovered the problem and rushed to question the Taiyi Disciple. Among them, the Purple Mansion Disciple remained the most arrogant and domineering.

Why are you slowing down!?

"What on earth happened?!"

How would we know?!

However, to everyone's surprise, the Taiyi Disciple also looked quite grim. "We clearly haven't slowed down, but our speed is still decreasing!"

"It's like something is preventing us from moving forward!"

"Could it be Ferocious Beast?"

Some people's expressions changed drastically.

"Impossible!" The Taiyi Disciple all shook their heads. "Although the Ferocious Beast in the river are savage, which one would dare to stop the Boundary Ship? Do they have a death wish?"

There must be another reason!

"Don't rush, let's take a look first!"

Whoosh!

Before he finished speaking, the surging waves that had been rising over a hundred feet high suddenly stopped.

At the same time, the water surface churned, and then, under everyone's gaze, a small figure broke through the water.

The figure was described as small in comparison to the numerous Ferocious Beast and the Boundary Ship; in reality, it was just a 'person'.

At least they look like humans.

Who are you?!

The Taiyi Disciple stood at the edge of the boundary ship, demanding sharply, "Why are you blocking my Taiyi boundary ship?"

But at the same time, they were filled with fear.

Within the Boundary River, the Ferocious Beast are extremely rampant. Even the top experts can only cross the river in the air at most, and very few dare to go into the water.

But this person emerged from the water, causing all the surging waves around him to stop.

It's bound to be extraordinary!

"Oh..."

On the lake, the figure stepped on the water column and suddenly rose up, reaching a position parallel to the deck of the boundary boat.

He had a gentle face and even a somewhat cute appearance, looking no more than twenty or thirty years old, with striking long blue hair.

"Young cultivators, welcome to the Boundary River. I am the River God of the Boundary River..."

"River God?"

Qi Zi·Fan had been wondering who this was, suddenly chuckled and said quietly, "You're wrong."

"What's wrong?" The River God's expression remained gentle, even somewhat bewildered, and his voice was soft and gentle, giving people the impression that he was harmless.

"You should do it this way."

Qi Zi·Fan casually flipped his hand, conjuring three axes—one gold, one silver, and one iron—with his True Essence.

Then, holding three axes, she said, "Young hero, which one did you drop—this golden axe, this silver axe, or this iron axe?"
