Grand Wedding News
Turning his head, he saw that the elders, including Elder Yao, Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Xuan, were all looking at the two people standing side by side with smiles on their faces.
"Ancestors, Father, Teachers..." Xiao Yan bowed to each of them, Xun Er did the same.
"Let's not talk about this now." Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder. "Let's go back to the Heavenly Mansion first."
"Would you like to come along, niece Xun Er, or are you planning to return to the Gu Clan?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Xun Er Xiao. I'll take my leave now."
Xun Er shook her head. Although she wanted to build a good relationship with Xiao Yan's elders, she had been missing for two years, so it was better to return to her clan now.
After Xun Er left, Xiao Zhan grabbed a bewildered Xiao Yan and said in a flurry:
"Hurry up, now you're the only hope left."
"Hope? What hope?"
"Xiao Zhan!" Xiao Xuan suddenly called out, and everyone else looked over in confusion. "What's the rush? Everything is preordained. Some things can't be forced."
"Yes, ancestor."
"It was indeed rash of Zhan. Facing his own ancestor, Xiao Zhan's momentum clearly weakened. Zhan was also in a moment of haste, after all..."
"Isn't it important?" There were some things Xiao Zhan didn't say clearly, but everyone except Xiao Yan understood what Xiao Zhan omitted.
"Let's go back to the Heavenly Mansion first." Xiao Xuan gave the final instruction. "Xiao Yan has had a tough time in the Demon Fire Space, there's no need to rush."
"Teacher, what exactly happened?" Xiao Yan and Elder Yao asked, falling behind.
Yong Nian told Xiao Yan was just common knowledge circulating in Central Plains. The real secrets were only known to the Dou Sheng among the various forces participating in the war. For example, the Ancient Emperor Inheritance Emperor Pill Embryo were completely kept secret. It was only after Elder Yao's explanation that Xiao Yan finally learned about them.
The Elder Yao sighed helplessly, "All the powerful figures in the Ancient Emperor Inheritance have tried, but to no avail."
"Even the Yan Jin clan chief, who fused two Exotic Fire, did not gain the recognition of the Ancient Emperor Inheritance."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yan felt a little disappointed. It seemed that they were destined to be out of luck when it came to Ancient Emperor Inheritance.
Just then, Xiao Yan noticed that Elder Yao was staring intently at him, and he was taken aback.
"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that?"
Immediately, as if he had guessed something, Xiao Yan's voice suddenly rose, and he said incredulously, "You wouldn't want me to try it, would you?"
All the Nine Star Dou Sheng elders and eight-star seniors returned empty-handed. How could he, a Six-Star Dou Sheng power comparable to a seven-star "weakling," possibly gain the favor of the Ancient Emperor Inheritance?
However, the Elder Yao encouraged him, saying, "You cultivate the Burning Flame Art, possess multiple Exotic Fire, and have the powerful Purification Lotus Demon Fire by your side, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
Seemingly not wanting to put too much pressure on Xiao Yan, Elder Yao continued, "I didn't say you had to succeed. There's plenty of time. Wait until you're better prepared. Don't be nervous."
But to Xiao Yan, Elder Yao's comforting words and smile looked like those of a child trafficker trying to lure children.
Six months later.
The Northernmost Land of the Fierce Qi Continent. As the northernmost part of the Fierce Qi Continent, harsh cold is the main theme of this land. The snow that never melts, the frost that is as sharp as knives, and the powerful Magical Beast that are breathtaking have forged this isolated ice and snow kingdom.
Apart from a few powerful cultivators who practice ice-attribute Dou Qi and rogue cultivators who come to explore for treasure, there is no human habitation within a radius of ten thousand miles.
Deep in the Northernmost Land, in a place where legend has it that even ninth-tier ice and snow Magical Beast roam, there exists a peculiar landscape. In this snow-covered northern Snow Domain, a beautiful manor spanning a hundred miles seems out of place.
A misty meadow, a lush forest, butterflies flitting among the flowers, and in the center of a small Small Courtyard, under the eaves lies a snow-white Unicorn Beast, large enough to be held in one arm.
"Squeak."
The tightly closed door was gently pushed open, and the little beast looked up at the Green-Robed Woman who had suddenly appeared before it, its eyes filled with surprise.
"Waaah!"
The little beast immediately stood up and walked to the woman's feet in two quick steps. Its small head naturally stretched out and rubbed affectionately against her calf.
The woman smiled gently, skillfully squatted down, and held the small beast in her arms, holding it horizontally in front of her. Her jade-like hands gently stroked the smooth and soft fur on the beast's back.
"Awoo."
It was then swallowed whole by the excited little beast. After finishing, it let out a very human-like burp and licked the woman's fair hand with satisfaction, which made her giggle.
If Alchemist were to witness that scene, they would likely be astonished by this person's arrogance. To be able to calmly feed a pet Magical Beast with Seventh-Grade Medicinal Herb is simply...
Sometimes, even humans can't compare to Magical Beast.
"This little guy has gotten quite chubby lately because of all the feeding you've given him."
Suddenly, a man in white appeared in the courtyard, looking rather helplessly at the human and beast getting along so well.
"You've gained weight, haven't you?" The woman subconsciously ignored the little beast in her arms, whose body had become twice as plump and whose flesh was rippling.
"Woo woo woo!" The little beast growled at the man in a cute but fierce way, but was met with a casual glance from the latter. A strong sense of crisis enveloped it, so it had no choice but to turn its head and throw itself into the woman's broad chest, howling like a spoiled child.
"Alright," the woman rolled her eyes at the man, annoyed. "Why are you getting angry with it?"
The couple who were able to live peacefully deep in the Northernmost Land were naturally Xiao Han and Yi Huang, who had traveled around before. After seeing all the scenery of the continent, in order to avoid the misfortune of regaining power, Xiao Han immediately took Yi Huang and settled down in the Northernmost Land to live in seclusion.
With their combined strength, the Northernmost Land, which was seen by outsiders as a death trap, was no different from their own backyard.
As for the so-called Ninth Order Magical Beast, Xiao Han had already paid his respects on the very first day of its arrival. After a series of "friendly" exchanges, the Northern Land Sovereign, the Heavenly Frost Snow Eagle, whose strength had reached the level of Eight Star Dou Sheng, voluntarily relinquished its territory, which the two of them transformed into the paradise it is today.
"Get ready, it's time for us to head back."
"Xiao Han said sadly, his low spirits could be felt even from 800 miles away.
"Something happened at the Langya Pavilion?" Yi Huang, holding the Unicorn Beast, frowned slightly, her expression serious.
Xiao Han shook his head. "It's a good thing."
"Good news?"
"Xiao Yan came out of the Demon Fire Space and slept with that Gu Clan girl named Xun Er."
"Therefore, our ancestors and Xiao Zhan plan to strike while the iron is hot and hold a wedding right away."
"After all..." Xiao Han clicked his tongue, "That kid has a lot of romantic entanglements to settle; he needs to give those girls an explanation, doesn't he?"
"It wouldn't be appropriate for us elders not to go back on the young person's big day."
Yi Huang nodded gently, "In that case, there's nothing to pack. Let's set off now."
"No problem." Xiao Han readily agreed.
The two people and the beast walked out of the courtyard. Xiao Han slapped the ground with his palm, and instantly, countless tadpole-like Golden Rune Pattern crawled out from the ground beneath his palm, covering the entire courtyard.
"Buzz!"
A soft sound was heard, and the entire Small Courtyard trembled for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
"I wonder if Old Ye misses me?"
"Missing you?" Yi Huang's soft laughter drifted over. "You've been a hands-off manager for two whole years; he probably hates you to the core by now..."
"It's alright, he's no match for me now."
"..."
Their voices were gradually drowned out by the endless wind and snow, and their figures were swallowed up by the vortex. The Northernmost Land returned to tranquility once more.
