The Three Maidens in the Back Garden

After traveling for some time, Ling Xiao, Di Jun, Tai Yi finally arrived at the Three Immortal Islands.

"Such a rich aura of immortality..."

Standing outside the island, Di Jun took a deep breath and said with a touch of intoxication, "For tens of thousands of years, the Chaos spiritual energy of the Three Immortal Islands has not completely dissipated. It is extremely dense and out of place with the surrounding world."

The three Immortal Island, like Kunlun Mountain in the water, sit on the East Sea, high and unreachable, far beyond sight, and boundless.

Majestic and imposing, mysterious and unpredictable, shrouded in vast swirling mists, it exudes an ethereal aura.

"Comfortable, no worse than our Sun Star," Tai Yi commented. Cultivating on this Immortal Island is much faster than outside.

"Feels good. I'll cultivate here from now on," Ling Xiao said with a smile, stepping onto the Immortal Island.

They ascended to Penglai Immortal Island and entered a magnificent place, where vegetation was lush, pools were clear and tranquil, and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

"After so many years without coming, many of the immortal herbs have matured."

Ling Xiao raised his hand and grabbed a piece of golden divine wood. This wood contained the element of gold and was even more resilient than ordinary immortal gold.

"Good water!"

Di Jun opened his mouth wide and sucked in a spring of jade-green water from afar, as if he had drunk a sip of aged wine, exclaiming in exaggerated praise.

"Brother, why do you drink just any water? Be careful, it might be poisonous!" Tai Yi said casually, taking it as a joke. At their level, there was no such thing as being poisoned to death.

"That makes sense. Some spring water can cause pregnancy if you drink it," Ling Xiao added, recalling the water in the Women's Kingdom in Journey to the West, where men could still get pregnant after drinking it. This was even more terrifying than poison.

"Third Brother, don't scare me. What kind of water can make people reproduce after drinking it?" Di Jun said with a hint of doubt. The claim was outrageous, but coming from his Third Brother, he had no choice but to believe it.

Ling Xiao laughed heartily, neither denying nor confirming. Then the three of them split up, each taking one island, and began to collect the rare and precious treasures on the islands.

These Three Immortal Islands are their backyard. Ling Xiao and his group will not engage in destructive practices; they will only harvest what is ripe and useful, leaving the rest untouched.

Ling Xiao strolled leisurely on his Penglai Immortal Island, wandering through his back garden. He collected the mature natural treasures into the Chaos Bead and fed them to the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd.

After the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd absorbed the rare and precious materials, Ling Xiao fed the resulting Innate Spiritual Liquid to the Chaos Green Lotus.

Originally just a seedling, the Chaos Green Lotus, after consuming the Innate Spiritual Liquid, unleashed its Chaos energy, radiating innate and Indestructible Spiritual Light, and visibly grew larger.

Ling Xiao fed Yellow Plum another portion of the Innate Spiritual Liquid, and with the help of the liquid, the fruits on the tree seemed to become even more vibrant.

"What would happen if we used Innate Spiritual Liquid to irrigate the island's rare and precious medicinal herbs?"

"Infinite nesting dolls?"

Ling Xiao suddenly realized this and chuckled at his own strange and silly idea.

"Huh? There are still people on the island?"

At this moment, Ling Xiao's expression shifted, and he looked in one direction, where the entire scene was laid bare; in his eyes, there were no secrets whatsoever.

Three figures were walking towards them. They were three female beings, each with a different appearance, speaking in sweet, melodious voices, chatting and laughing.

At that moment, they also saw Ling Xiao. One of the girls, who looked the youngest and was dressed in a light blue dress, exclaimed in surprise:

"Who are you? Have you also just taken human form?"

"Big sister, look!"

After asking her question, she immediately turned to the woman in the white dress in the middle and said, "She is lively and quirky."

The woman in white was elegant and dignified, the most composed of the three. She glanced at Ling Xiao, a hint of apology on her face.

"Fellow Daoist, we have only recently taken human form ourselves, and my younger sister is inexperienced in worldly affairs. Please forgive her if she has offended us."

Ling Xiao's expression was strange. He nodded slightly and said, "Ignorance is no excuse."

Seeing this, and considering his current location, he was able to guess the identities of these three female immortals.

The Three Immortal Islands, and at this time of year, it's unlikely that there could be anyone else besides the Three Xiao Sisters.

Ling Xiao glanced at the three women. The one in the middle, dressed in white, should be Yun Xiao, who now possessed the cultivation of a mid-stage Golden Immortal.

The other two, Qiong Xiao and Bixiao, dressed in purple and blue respectively, are both at the early stage of Golden Immortal.

At this time, they did not possess the aura of the Three Maidens of Sanxiao of later generations.

"You just transformed, right? You seem a little wooden to me," Bixiao asked with a grin, her manner overtly familiar.

Since they took human form, they have never left the Three Immortal Islands and have yet to understand the dangers of the world and the ways of human relationships.

Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "I've been in human form for a long time."

"Bixiao, you better behave yourself!"

Qiong Xiao, dressed in purple, looked exasperated and pulled her younger sister over.

Yun Xiao looked helplessly at his two younger sisters, shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive my rudeness. My name is Yun Xiao, and these are my younger sisters, Qiong Xiao Bixiao. May I ask how you should address me, Fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao was somewhat embarrassed. He suddenly realized that his name was remarkably similar to that of the Three Xiao Sisters.

What happened?

Is this to form a "Four Heavenly Kings" group for him?

Four Happiness Meatballs, indeed!

"Fellow Daoist, you haven't just taken human form and don't even have a name yet, have you?"

Seeing that Ling Xiao did not speak, Bixiao smiled and said, her eyes sparkling, before changing the subject.

"Speaking of names, do you know how we sisters got our names?"

Ling Xiao shook his head.

"It's good that you don't know. I'll tell you, but don't say it out loud."

"Legend has it that countless millions of years ago, three immortal Immortal Island were born, filled with countless treasures, which attracted numerous powerful beings to fight over them, thus triggering an earth-shattering war."

"Finally, a powerful being defeated all the formidable enemies and stood atop the Immortal Island, making the three Immortal Island his own."

"That great god's name contains the character "", so our sisters' names are also named after it."

"If you don't yet have a name, you might want to consider it."

Bixiao recounted the stories with great familiarity, her large eyes filled with admiration.

"Where did you hear that from?" Ling Xiao was a little confused. He hadn't expected that the name Three Xiao Sisters was born because of him.

What a coincidence!

This wasn't mentioned in the original storyline.

Surprisingly, it connects successfully and looks quite harmonious, without any sense of incongruity.

It's absolutely outrageous—it's outrageous to the extreme.

"That's what the surviving creatures on the island said. What's with that look? You don't think I'm lying to you, do you?" Bixiao looked suspicious, feeling that the fellow Daoist in front of her seemed to have a lot of stories to tell, and her expression was too strange.

Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "My name is Ling Xiao."
