Melancholy Girl

Time flies, and twenty years have slipped through our fingers.

Langya Heavenly Palace.

Xiao Han lay calmly in a chair, basking in the sun. The warm sunshine made his battle-hardened old bones relax.

Suddenly, a yellowed booklet flew from a distance and hit Xiao Han, who was caught off guard, with a "thud" on his face.

"Um?"

Xiao Han took the book off his face and looked closely. It was titled "One Hundred and Eight Methods of Patricide".

Without a doubt, this evil book, brimming with extreme malice towards fathers, could have originated from none other than the unfilial daughter of the family.

Xiao Han didn't care. A weakling who had only recently broken the first seal and whose strength had barely reached the Three Heavens Realm was far from capable of attacking him!

With a casual toss, the erotic book was sent flying back home, landing precisely on the head of a girl outside the courtyard.

The girl's long, black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, simply secured by a Green Jade Hairpin. Her watery eyes were full of mischief, and her delicate nose and cherry lips were accentuated by a light pink dress that highlighted her cuteness. The silver bell on her wrist jingled crisply with her movements, and every gesture exuded a sense of grace and liveliness.

The girl silently rubbed her forehead, her face slightly flushed, not from pain, but purely from anger.

When Xiao Mu picked up the booklet at her feet, the title on the cover had already been blacked out, replaced by a line of handwriting that made her face turn pale—"Pocket money halved!"

"That awful dad of mine, he's cutting my allowance again!"

"Xiao Hu, I'm not going to live like this anymore!"

Xiao Mu immediately grabbed the soft fur of the big tiger next to him and burst into tears. His tears soaked the tiger's fur, causing the tiger to look up at the sky with helplessness in its eyes.

If only I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

Why do you always provoke your sugar daddy?

Besides, are you someone who's short of pocket money?

Of course, given the deep affection between himself and the girl, the tiger decisively chose to swallow his inner complaints, definitely not for those few pills.

The Saint Winged Sky Tiger named Xiao Hu stayed quietly by Xiao Mu's side. Based on past experience, this girl would be around in about an incense stick's time. At that time, she would still be the little princess who ran around the sect.

Unfortunately, it seemed Xiao Mu was going to pull a fast one on it this time. After crying, the girl suddenly raised her head, her big eyes fixed expectantly on the Saint Winged Sky Tiger, making the latter immediately sense something was wrong. That expression...

This is stirring things up!

"Xiao Hu, shall we go out and play?"

Sure enough, the girl's opening remarks gave it a rather explosive idea. The Saint Winged Sky Tiger's eyes widened. Girl, your idea is a bit exciting!

Do you know where this is?

The border!

Not long ago, the Extraterrestrial Evil race sneaked in and caused trouble, only to be wiped out. Their bodies are barely cold!

Can't you give people some basic respect?

To the delight of the Saint Winged Sky Tiger, Xiao Mu perfectly inherited the wisdom and composure passed down from his parents in matters of great importance. He did not intend to venture into the battlefield, but instead planned to go to the mainland.

"I heard from my senior brothers that the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy will be recruiting students from the entire Great Thousand World on the fifth day of next month. I'm going to find my mother now and ask her to approve my study at the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy. There's absolutely no problem!"

Xiao Mu spoke with great confidence, and Xiao Hu had no objections. Going to school was a good thing!

Moreover, not only Xiao Mu, but he had also been in the Langya Heavenly Palace for twenty years, so he naturally wanted to go to other places to see the scenery. Thus, the man and the tiger hit it off and left excitedly.

"Northern Azure Spiritual Academy?"

Before anyone knew it, Xiao Han quietly appeared on the wall, gently pinching his chin with his fingers, a malicious smile creeping onto his lips.

This smile wasn't directed at Xiao Mu, but rather at the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy. Knowing his daughter's temperament well, he knew that with her mischievous nature, this wave at the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy probably wouldn't be peaceful.

Perfect timing! In recent years, the quality of disciples recruited from the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy has declined slightly. This little girl can give those ivory tower kids a little shock from Langya.

"You want to go to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy?"

Yi Huang looked at her daughter with slight surprise. This girl didn't want to cause trouble for her own family, so she was preparing to go and create problems for other places?

"Dear Mother, is it alright? Is it alright?"

Her bright, sparkling eyes shone with anticipation.

Are you sure you can settle down and behave yourself?

"Absolutely!"

Xiao Mu patted his chest loudly.

"Alright, as long as you behave yourself this month, I'll let you go to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy next month."

Yi Huang wore a mocking smile. Knowing her daughter well, she didn't believe a single word the latter said.

"Um?"

Xiao Mu's eyes widened slightly, and he chuckled awkwardly:

"There are only five days left until we leave next month, isn't that too late?"

"Of course there's enough time."

"Our sect has a super-large Teleportation Spirit Array that goes directly to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy, guaranteeing that you will be sent to the Northern Azure World ahead of time."

Just kidding! Langya Heavenly Palace recruits students from the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy every year. Without the Teleportation Spirit Array, it would take half a year just to travel there and back. This is a disgrace to their sect, which is famous for its Spirit Array!

Little brat, trying to use the excuse of using a large teleportation array to run wild everywhere? No way!

"Oh."

Xiao Mu reluctantly agreed, her face full of bitterness, and turned to walk dejectedly towards the door.

"Wait a moment."

Just then, Yi Huang called her from behind. Xiao Mu, thinking that her mother had shown leniency and was about to change her mind, excitedly turned around.

"Since you're going to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy, then focus on your cultivation and don't bring too many worldly possessions with you."

Xiao Mu regretted not leaving earlier; now he was doomed, his secret stash was gone!

As expected, Yi Huang coldly announced her verdict regarding her daughter.

"Leave behind one hundred drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, a set of protective Sacred Artifact, Divine Artifact, and Spirit Array; hand over everything else."

"Oh, right, just to add, I'll temporarily hold onto the profits from the Array Diagram under your name while you're studying at the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy. I'll give them to you when you return after you've completed your studies."

She stepped out of the room in a daze. The blinding sunlight shone on her face, and Xiao Mu felt her vision go black. The world lost its color. The world was vast, but there was no place for her to stand. She couldn't breathe. It hurt, it hurt so much!

Money! That's her money!

"Xiao Mu, don't be sad."

Just as Xiao Mu was heartbroken, the big tiger beside her spoke. She thought her dearest friend was about to say something comforting...

"Mother said she will continue to supply me with my pills, so you don't need to spend any money."

That's heartbreaking!

Xiao Mu was even more heartbroken.

Is she concerned about the Supreme Spirit Liquid? Although she does care quite a bit.

But this is blatant discrimination!

On what grounds?

Aren't daughters the apple of their parents' eyes? Xiao Mu once again wondered if she had been picked up off the street.

But that doesn't make sense!

Thinking of his senior brother Xiao Wu and Xian'er sister Xian'er, weren't they both picked up by their parents?

Why am I so special, suffering from my parents' exploitation every day? Could I be the daughter of their enemy?

"Well!"

Seeing Xiao Mu standing motionless, Xiao Hu could only sigh helplessly. This little girl's imagination was running wild, questioning her own identity. She must have been reading too many storybooks!

While Xiao Mu was filled with melancholy, Xiao Han stared intently at the letter in his hand, his eyes filled with cold light.

"The Maha Tribe!"
