Help Me Comb My Hair

Jiang Lan looked at Bai Qiuran, and Bai Qiuran looked at her as well.

Welcome back.

After looking at the Book of Questions for a moment, Jiang Lan's eyes softened, and she spoke softly to him.

"I'm back."

Bai Qiuran towards her, opened his arms, and embraced Jiang Lan's soft body.

A familiar scent filled his nostrils. Bai Qiuran and asked softly, "How many years has it been?"

"Three hundred and fifty-six thousand eight hundred years."

Jiang Lan accurately gave a number, feeling the hands holding her tighten slightly. She chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I've spent most of these years asleep, so it hasn't felt like a long time."

I owe you so much.

Bai Qiuran sighed.

"I know."

Jiang Lan rested her chin on Bai Qiuran's shoulder.

"So now, I want you to make it up to me with eternity."

I promise you.

Bai Qiuran patted the back of her head.

"Oh right, you haven't forgotten my hairpin, have you?"

"No."

Bai Qiuran took the Jade Hairpin out of her Storage Bag and handed it to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan took it, touched it nostalgically, then handed it to Bai Qiuran, saying, "Help me comb my hair."

"OK."

Bai Qiuran picked up the Wooden Comb that Jiang Lan handed her, and then went with her to the Dressing Table in the Bedchamber.

The bright mirror on the Dressing Table, enhanced by magic, clearly reflected Jiang Lan's beautiful figure. Bai Qiuran stood behind her, gently lifted her long hair, and began to do her makeup.

Before transmigrating to the Divine Age, Bai Qiuran had never done anything like this. In the first few hundred years of his relationship with Su Xiangxue, Sect Master Su was a shy and innocent girl who was more interested in romance than in love, while he was a hard-hearted and unyielding man. Neither of them could have done such a thing.

Later, after accepting Tang Ruowei as his disciple, one morning he saw the girl practicing her skills all night, looking like she was about to die, so he tried to help her tidy up.

But he really couldn't do women's hairstyles, so he messed it up and left Tang Ruowei with a non-mainstream, messy hairstyle all day. Later, this rebellious student was angry with him for several days.

However, after being betrothed by Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the Divine Age, in order to avoid being monitored, the two would sometimes deliberately put on an act in front of Eastern Emperor Taiyi's spies, pretending to be very affectionate. It was also at that time that Jiang Lan taught Bai Qiuran how to comb a woman's hair.

While it's certainly not up to par with professionals, Bai Qiuran's current hairstyle is at least presentable enough to be seen in public.

While getting ready, the two started chatting.

"I brought my apprentice, her friend, and that other one along."

Bai Qiuran didn't intend to hide anything from Jiang Lan and spoke up.

"Yeah?"

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to get to know them properly later."

Bai Qiuran a little guilty, but he had prepared himself mentally before coming, so he continued combing his hair at his own pace.

"By the way, after cultivating immortality, I've also come to see many things."

Jiang Lan looked up at Bai Qiuran and laughed, "We clearly haven't consummated our marriage, but it seems your Primal Yang has vanished... Did you give it to someone else?"

Bai Qiuran's hand trembled, and she almost crushed the comb.

He was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod silently.

"It's okay, I don't mind, it's only a matter of time."

Jiang Lan nodded and said, "Besides, I cultivate the Water-Attribute Poison Cultivation Technique that you improved. Taking my Primal Yang would be useless to me. It's better to give it to that younger sister to help her cultivation... She should be cultivating Cultivation Technique related to the union of yin and yang, right?"

"Yes, she's from the Hehuan Sect."

Bai Qiuran replied.

"I know people from this school of thought. She's remained chaste for you all these years; it seems she loves you very much."

Jiang Lan said.

Bai Qiuran discovered that his wife's rhetoric had been honed over hundreds of thousands of years; she could render him speechless with just a few words.

"Alright, alright, I don't want to talk about this anymore."

Perhaps noticing Bai Qiuran's awkward situation, Jiang Lan laughed and said, "You look like you're being interrogated by me."

Bai Qiuran sighed and took the initiative to ask, "Is that kid Bai Li still alive?"

"He's still alive, but he's currently in the Immortal Realm. He can't descend to the mortal realm at will. If you want to see him, you'll have to find a way to cultivate to the Immortal Realm yourself."

Jiang Lan replied, "Or you can use other methods to go directly to the Immortal Realm."

"Have the Goddess Xi He and the Three-Legged Crow goddess also gone to the Immortal Realm?"

"Yes."

Jiang Lan replied softly, "Because later, Immortals were pure of heart and had few desires, living in the Mortal Realm still posed a risk of repeating the mistakes of the Heavenly Gods. So he invited all the beings with great power to the Immortal Realm. Aunt Xi He and Sister Three-Legged Crow were among them, and he invited them to the Heavenly Palace to be responsible for the operation of the Sun in the Worlds Ruled by the Immortal Realm."

"That kid has expanded the Immortal Realm to the point of transcending this world."

Bai Qiuran a pang of emotion.

"Probably, since I've never been there. For the past hundreds of thousands of years, I've either been asleep or cultivating. I've only gone down there occasionally, and I've never gone too far."

Jiang Lan shook her head and said, "Most of the information I know is hearsay. In the early days, it wasn't difficult for Immortals to descend from the Immortal Realm to the mortal world."

"In short, it's good that everyone is alive."

Bai Qiuran and said, "We have plenty of time in the future, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet again. Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."

"Um."

Jiang Lan nodded, then asked with a smile, "Aren't you in a hurry to Foundation Establishment now?"

You found out?

Bai Qiuran wasn't surprised that Jiang Lan knew about her own affairs; over the years, she must have tried to find information about herself.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There's no need to rush. Now that I have True Essence within me, that day will come eventually."

Having acquired 10% of True Essence within his body, Bai Qiuran could already use True Essence to convert the true True Qi within his body. However, because his True Qi replenishment speed was too fast, even when he used his True Essence at full power to convert it, it was only slightly faster than replenishing the True Qi. It would probably take a long time to fully convert it.

But he had finally seen the end of the road. As long as he continued to transform in this way, he would eventually Foundation Establishment.

"Speaking of which, Lan'er, how did you know I went to the Demon Realm?"

Bai Qiuran asked, "That jade pendant you had Kazama Haruka take to the Monster Race Chancellor... You certainly wouldn't have allowed it to be sent out before my identity was confirmed, right?"

"Over the years, having had nothing to do, I've studied the Divination."

Jiang Lan replied, "Although my divinations about you always fail, it's still easy to subtly probe. You're the only one in this world who can interfere with my divinations, so when I failed to divine the Future of the Monster Race for Yun Fengge, I knew you were involved."

Are they both your apprentices?

"Yes, Yao'er is an orphan I picked up when I went down to the mortal realm to relax last time. Recently, things don't seem to be very peaceful on Fusang Island. People are fighting each other, and people are dying all the time."

Jiang Lan replied, "As for Yun Fengge, he came here because of his Admiring Fame and found a way to enter the Fusang Immortal Palace on his own. Although I don't accept male disciples, I made him a nominal disciple and passed on all my skills to him."

No wonder his punches and kicks felt somewhat familiar.

Bai Qiuran nodded.

Jiang Lan's Fist and Foot Technique were all taught to her by him after her Divine Power was taken away, so it's not surprising that she felt familiar with them.
