The Ungrateful Brat

When Bai Qiuran returned to the Fusang Immortal Palace, she happened to run into Su Xiangxue as she emerged from seclusion.

Above the clouds, where Su Xiangxue was in seclusion, the sky was filled with colorful clouds, and a Spirit Qi aura rose into the sky, mixed with a faint fragrance.

Bai Qiuran sensed Immortal Power within that radiant glow; clearly, Su Xiangxue had broken through to the realm of Immortals.

The door to Su Xiangxue's secluded Cave Abode suddenly opened, and a stunningly beautiful figure in a white dress slowly walked out, her radiance beyond compare.

She has become even more beautiful.

The moment their eyes met, Bai Qiuran understood the truth.

Su Xiangxue practiced Charm Technique, and now that she has broken through her cultivation level, her charm has naturally increased dramatically. When she emerged from seclusion, even many women in the Fusang Immortal Palace could not resist looking at her.

Just as Bai Qiuran was thinking about how to greet Su Xiangxue after their long separation, Su Xiangxue's figure suddenly disappeared, and then, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, she appeared in front of him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and hugged him tightly.

A warm, soft body pressed against his skin, and Bai Qiuran's heart stirred slightly. He was about to reach out and embrace her when, unexpectedly, Su Xiangxue buried her head in his chest, took a deep breath, and then suddenly pulled away.

"It all tastes like someone else's."

She pouted, looking somewhat disgruntled, like a child getting angry.

"Could it be that breaking through to the Immortals realm has the aftereffect of mental regression?"

Bai Qiuran muttered to herself, somewhat puzzled.

"That's called returning to simplicity, okay?"

Su Xiangxue looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, finally reverting to the way Bai Qiuran knew her to be.

She leaned closer, glanced furtively in the direction of the Jiang Lan's Palace, then gently poked Bai Qiuran's waist and asked, "You've had a pretty comfortable life these past few decades, haven't you?"

"I wouldn't call it a comfortable life; I'm actually very busy. I've spent the last few decades striving for success."

Bai Qiuran and solemnly, "I've also bought a house in the Underworld Ghost Realm. I'll take you to see it sometime."

"You can buy property in the Underworld Ghost Realm?"

Su Xiangxue's expression clearly showed disbelief. She knew about the complicated relationship between Bai Qiuran and the Ghost Realm. If he went to the Ghost Realm, it would be good enough if the Underworld Emissaries didn't arrest him, let alone buy him a house.

"I doubt he only managed to buy it because of Jiang Lan's connections."

"Of course not! Do you think I'm the kind of man who lives off a woman?"

Bai Qiuran said solemnly, "All of this is the result of my personal efforts and hard work."

"Yes, yes, you're the best."

Su Xiangxue smiled, her eyes narrowed, and patted his face.

At this moment, Jiang Lan also came over with two girls, Li Jinyao Kazama Haruka. Li Jinyao had emerged from Heavenly Tribulation before Su Xiangxue, having successfully survived the Heavenly Demon Sect Tribulation a few days ago. Now, she had successfully completed the epic achievement of the Heavenly Demon Sect's betrayal of its master and ancestors.

If Ji Lingyun tries to control her again, Li Jinyao might actually knock her master to the ground and then spank her in public.

After all, the girl is a legitimate member of the Demon Sect, so she wouldn't feel any psychological pressure doing this. It's just a pity for her master, who will probably never be able to hold his head up in front of his Sect Master like Jueyunzi.

They came to Su Xiangxue's side and congratulated her.

Congratulations on your breakthrough, Xiangxue.

"Congratulations on your ascension to immortality, Sister Xiangxue."

Jiang Lan and Li Jinyao each offered their congratulations to Su Xiangxue. Then, Jiang Lan glanced at Kazama Haruka, who looked hesitant, and coughed.

Kazama Haruka had no choice but to raise his hands in a fist salute and say haltingly, "Congratulations on your breakthrough, that... Second Master's Wife."

What on earth is this "Second Master's Wife's Wife"?

Su Xiangxue raised her eyebrows slightly, a strange feeling welling up inside her.

But at this moment, Jiang Lan had already begun to greet everyone.

"Come, Xiangxue, Jinyao, I have prepared a feast especially for your breakthroughs."

Where is Ruowei?

Bai Qiuran least remembering her disciple who was about to crash into the Absolute Wall on the forty-fifth floor, asked a question.

It will probably be a while before Ruowei is out of seclusion.

Jiang Lan sighed, "This child isn't usually that diligent in his cultivation, so why is he being so stubborn now?"

"Yeah, she'll definitely be stubborn."

Bai Qiuran and said, "After all, it's a battle for dignity... Then we don't need to wait for her. Let's give her another one when she comes out."

"OK."

Jiang Lan nodded and led the group forward.

After taking a few steps, she deliberately slowed down, took one hand each from Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue, and then bowed to Bai Qiuran, saying, "You've spent so much time with me these past years. Xiangxue has just finished her seclusion; go and keep her company tonight."

"Oh."

Bai Qiuran responded naturally, but Su Xiangxue's face immediately turned slightly red, and then she looked at Jiang Lan gratefully.

Whether she gained any favor with Bai Qiuran that one sentence is unknown, but she definitely gained a lot of favor with Su Xiangxue.

Following behind them, Li Jinyao looked at them with envy, just like an ordinary employee looking at two big shots who share shares in the company's board of directors.

Noticing her expression, Jiang Lan released Bai Qiuran again, pushed Bai Qiuran forward, and then took Su Xiangxue's hand, with the three of them falling behind.

"Jinyao."

Jiang Lan suddenly asked her in a low voice, "Should I create a few opportunities for you?"

Su Xiangxue and Li Jinyao were both startled. Then Su Xiangxue whispered, "Jiang Lan, what are you saying?"

"Okay, okay."

Li Jinyao was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, Sister Lan, for saving my life."

"Okay, after dinner tonight, I'll get the others out of the way so you can go find that piece of wood."

Jiang Lan nodded with a smile.

Seeing Jiang Lan's actions, Su Xiangxue was shocked. She pulled Jiang Lan aside and said to her, "I've never seen anything like this before. Who helps their husband find other women... Do you perhaps have some kind of peculiar fetish?"

"No, just consider me old-fashioned."

Jiang Lan smiled and shook her head. Seeing that Su Xiangxue refused to accept, she added, "I'm not some kind of woman from all walks of life who would try to set Qiuran up with anyone. I'm not stupid. But Miss Li, once she falls for that blockhead, she probably won't be interested in any other men. Wouldn't that be pitiful?"

"Look at what you're saying, as if he's some kind of charmer."

Su Xiangxue muttered to herself.

Jiang Lan glanced speechlessly at the girl who had been pursuing her for nearly a thousand years, and said, "I don't think Xiangxue has the right to talk about her like that..."

Su Xiangxue blushed and did not answer.

"Actually, if Qiuran accepts, I'd really like to give Ruowei a push. That girl has been following her master since the beginning of her cultivation, so her standards are probably incredibly high. She might never be able to get married in the future."

Jiang Lan said another sentence, then asked, "But those are things to be discussed later. I'm asking you, Xiangxue, are you willing to cooperate with Miss Li?"
