The Forty-Chapter: Bai Moxue Must Become Stronger
This New Realm, seemingly a single realm, is in reality a path that Bai Qiuran has opened up for future Cultivators, a path with virtually no end in sight.
This is certainly a fortunate thing, because for a long time to come, Cultivators will not have to worry about their Cultivation path coming to an end. Moreover, Bai Qiuran's path and the path of Book of Questions are full of various extensions. When the world is condensed into energy crystals, Cultivators will have a lot more to do with it.
For example, assigning attributes to energy crystals, or using energy crystals to arrange Formation.
Bai Qiuran very satisfied and named this realm "Void River Realm". He bestowed this realm upon Bai Xuxiang and Li Jinyao, who jokingly referred to it as the "Xu" generation name, which was the highest in his mind.
Not long after he deduced the Void River Realm, Bai Moxue had been taught almost everything by him.
In the past, Bai Moxue was kept in seclusion by her mother for a long time, wearing Little Skirt and often bullied by her older sister. As a result, she was timid and spoke softly.
But now, although Bai Moxue is still a pale-faced boy, his expression is much more resolute, and his speech is no longer as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but upright and clear.
Bai Qiuran very satisfied with the result. Although Bai Moxue had not been educated into the kind of tough guy he had imagined, he could at least be considered a potential gentleman. Presumably, now, Bai Moxue would no longer be afraid of the strange aunt of the Hehuan Sect and the female beasts in the wild, and would be able to treat them equally with his fists and say "no" in a dignified manner.
Moreover, in order to help Bai Moxue better control his charm Superpower, Bai Qiuran not only modified his mother's Cultivation Technique "Phantom Shadow Fragrant Trace Art" and passed it on to him, but also crafted a Magical Artifact for his son.
The Magical Artifact implement is shaped like a pair of Glasses, and the Spiritual Sense for these Glasses came from Qiu Yuxuan, the Dean of the Profound Law Academy.
When Bai Moxue puts on those Glasses, his charm is completely overshadowed. Moreover, because these non-prescription Glasses almost cover half of his face, in other people's eyes, Bai Moxue's appearance automatically drops from "stunningly beautiful" to "Celestial Beings".
With the help of this Magical Artifact, Bai Qiuran finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt it was time to send Bai Moxue to the "early childhood education class" of the Goddess Xi He.
The reason she didn't send it before was because she was afraid. It wasn't that Bai Qiuran trust the Three-Legged Crow and Xi He. These two were ancient Heavenly Gods, and no matter what, they wouldn't be tempted by Bai Moxue, a pretty boy. But there were still many maids living in the Three-Legged Crow Palace who took care of her daily life.
These maids were recruited from under the Supreme Emperor Heaven. They had their own sects and knew how to cultivate. Taking care of the Three-Legged Crow's daily life was more like a part-time job for most of them to earn money in their spare time from cultivation.
Among these maids, there were naturally many whose cultivation was not profound, and some were not even Immortals. However, their cultivation was similar to that of the Elder of various sects in the current Cultivation World of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. They were in a delicate stage where they could be charmed by Bai Moxue if they were not careful, but Bai Moxue could not defeat them.
The Three-Legged Crow Goddess had official duties to attend to, Goddess Xi He didn't live with the two children, so she couldn't look after them all the time. As for Bai Qiuran's own master, Bai Qiuran hadn't even considered it. Daoist Qingming had always been a laissez-faire parent.
Therefore, there are always one or two periods when Bai Xuxiang and Bai Moxue are alone.
Bai Qiuran and Jiang Lan weren't worried about Bai Xuxiang at first, since she was born with Divine Power and it was already quite good that she didn't bully others. However, Bai Moxue didn't have her sister's strength, and she was timid and easily taken advantage of. What Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue were even more afraid of was that this child wouldn't dare to speak up even if she was taken advantage of.
But now there's no problem. Bai Moxue's allure is sealed by her Glasses, which reduces a lot of Hatred. And even if something unexpected happens, given Bai Moxue's current personality, she can bravely resist without hesitation, treating both men and women equally.
This was the result of Bai Qiuran taking him to various Material World for training, defeating countless creatures along the way.
Having obtained everything he desired from the Void, Bai Qiuran returned home with his son.
Pushing open the courtyard gate of the Hehuan Sect, Bai Qiuran was surprised to find that Tang Ruowei and Jiang Lan, who had stayed at the research site to help the Machine God study the Insect Race Empress, had returned and were currently talking in the courtyard.
From their conversation, Bai Qiuran heard many terms related to the Insect Race. It seemed that one of Tang Ruowei and Jiang Lan had just returned, and the timing of his and Bai Moxue's return home was very coincidental.
"Oh dear, Master and Moxue are back."
Hearing the sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open, Jiang Lan and Tang Ruowei stopped talking and turned to look. Qian Steel Plate saw Bai Qiuran and Bai Moxue standing at the gate and ran over happily, looking at Bai Moxue.
"Huh? Moxue, where did you get these Glasses? They're so ugly... You don't look as cute as before when you wear them."
"What do you know? This is a good thing!"
Bai Qiuran delivered a karate chop to his disciple's head.
"You're back. Is class over?"
"You've graduated!"
Tang Ruowei said proudly, "I've broken through another level and reached the Houtu Realm... Master, it will take you even longer to catch up with me. Let me think... it might take another ten or twenty thousand years!"
"You're itching for a beating, aren't you?"
Bai Qiuran grabbed Tang Ruowei and used his knee to push against her waist, giving her a full-on backbend.
"It hurts! It hurts! Master, please stop!"
Tang Ruowei kicked her legs weakly, struggling, "My back is going to break!"
"Isn't this perfect? Anyway, your Fortune Body Forging Technique has reached the level where you can change your physical form. It's a good opportunity for your master to temper your Body Tempering."
The master and apprentice continued their playful banter, but Bai Moxue calmly walked past her father and entered from the side.
"Mother Lan, sister, I'm back."
He greeted Jiang Lan and Bai Xuxiang, who had suddenly appeared beside him, very politely, then grabbed his sister's hand.
"Sister, even though we're siblings, I still have to say, please don't put bugs in my pockets anymore, okay? I'm not afraid now, but it still feels pretty disgusting."
"Xuxiang?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan scolded, "Come here! You naughty child!"
Bai Xuxiang obediently pulled her hand out of the Spatial Rift, still clutching a large scorpion whose stinger had been removed.
She went to her mother, Jiang Lan, and was scolded. Then she ran back and stood on tiptoe in front of her younger brother.
"Wow, you're getting tough now, huh?"
Bai Xuxiang patted her younger brother's head, then moved it to her own head, which was standing on tiptoe; it fit perfectly.
"And he's grown taller too."
Upon realizing that her younger brother was taller than her, Bai Xuxiang felt somewhat disheartened.
"Yes, I've grown up under Father's guidance, sister."
Bai Moxue adjusted her Glasses and said calmly, "So please don't bully me anymore. Let's be a loving and harmonious brother and sister."
