Xiao Yi Xian Was Reborn (1 / 2)

On the main peak of the Misty Cloud Sect, Nalan Yanran revealed her extraordinary talent for management to the elders for the first time.

Under her meticulous care, the Misty Cloud Sect ran like clockwork and flourished by the day. Everything was moving in an ever better direction.

She also devised her own unique method of slacking off, establishing several new departments within the Misty Cloud Sect and dividing her authority and duties as sect leader among them.

This unique method gave Nalan Yanran every justification for slacking off.

With more time on her hands, Nalan Yanran found herself at leisure.

With nothing to do, Nalan Yanran seemed to have forgotten what cultivation even was. All she knew was to run to the main peak every day and compete with Chen Yang for Yun Yun.

When she failed to win, she spent the whole day hovering in front of them, making her presence known and pestering Chen Yang to no end.

Every time he wanted to get intimate with his wife, Nalan Yanran was there like a hundred-watt third-wheel lightbulb, making Chen Yang so furious he wanted to smack someone.

And so Chen Yang eventually devised a hellish cultivation regimen for Nalan Yanran.

He demanded that she stop squandering her youth, focus on cultivating, and advance to Da Dou Shi within a month.

Chen Yang spent the time it took an incense stick to burn drawing up Nalan Yanran's cultivation plan for the coming month.

"Yanran! You're a sect leader now. Stop clinging to your teacher all day long."

"Even if you don't cultivate, your teacher still needs to, doesn't she?"

"Besides, you're a dignified sect leader, yet your cultivation is weaker than an ordinary disciple's. If you don't hurry up and improve it, won't you make yourself a laughingstock?" Chen Yang earnestly lectured Nalan Yanran, explaining the importance of cultivation.

Beneath the boundless sky and across the vast sea, birds flew and fish swam by their own abilities.

Nalan Yanran listened in a muddle, unable to wrap her head around his words even after a long while.

Wait, did she really need to cultivate?

Her cultivation was low, but her grandmaster and teacher had high cultivation!

With her grandmaster and teacher protecting her and the Misty Cloud Sect backing her, whether she cultivated or not hardly made a difference.

If she cultivated, no one could bully her.

If she did not cultivate, it seemed no one could bully her either.

Since it made no difference, she might as well not cultivate.

Besides, cultivation was exhausting. Nalan Yanran just wanted to lie flat for the rest of her life.

In the end, under Chen Yang's uncompromising gaze, Nalan Yanran gave in and began her hellish cultivation.

Since Chen Yang had modified her talent to make it top-tier, Nalan Yanran's cultivation sailed smoothly ahead, with green lights all the way and nothing blocking her path.

With abundant cultivation resources at her disposal, Nalan Yanran progressed at astonishing speed. In just one week, she broke through from the seventh stage of Dou Qi to become a One-Star Dou Zhe.

Nalan Yanran's cultivation speed already blew everyone her age out of the water.

Even so, Chen Yang still thought she was too slow.

So he decided to put a little more pressure on her. After placing a Restriction on her, he tossed her straight into the Gate of Life and Death and left her to fend for herself.

Only after throwing Nalan Yanran into the Gate of Life and Death did Chen Yang belatedly remember something.

It seemed the Misty Cloud Sect's Gate of Life and Death could only be entered by those at Dou Ling or above.

"Ah, who cares? Nalan Yanran is an important supporting character, anyway. She won't die!"

"At most... at most, she'll suffer a little more."

Chen Yang shook his head and stopped worrying about Nalan Yanran.

With a flicker, he returned to Yun Yun's cultivation quarters.

During the week Nalan Yanran spent cultivating, Yun Yun had not been idle either. She had devoted herself entirely to cultivation.

She cultivated on her own during the day, while at night Chen Yang coaxed and tricked her into dual cultivation. Over that same week, her progress had been astonishing too.

She advanced from Five-Star Dou Emperor to Six-Star Dou Emperor. After being tempered through dual cultivation, the Dou Qi within her became even purer than before, and her combat strength grew greater.

Now, even against a Dou Zong expert, she could put up a fight.

Sensing Chen Yang's aura, Yun Yun knew he had arrived.

After circulating her cultivation method through one complete cycle, Yun Yun ended her day's cultivation and exhaled a breath of stale air.

She slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Yang, who was leaning against the door.

Sunlight fell languidly over him, making for a gentle, pleasing scene.

Of course, if his eyes had not been filled with such intense lust, the picture would have been even more perfect.

Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him and firmly refused. "It's daytime. I don't want to...!" Dual cultivate, that was.

She decided to keep away from Chen Yang for a week.

Chen Yang: "...!"

Seeing his wife guard against him as though he were a wolf, he knew he had no chance today.

So he suppressed his desire and walked over to sit at the head of the bed, looking perfectly proper.

He glanced at her, considered for a moment, then took her hand and pulled her toward him, forcing her to settle on his lap. He gently wrapped an arm around her waist, giving her no chance to leave.

"Fine, no dual cultivation. But surely I can collect a little interest?"

As he spoke, his hand moved upward from her waist. A moment later, his brows furrowed.

"Hmm, have you gotten fatter?"

To a woman, "fat" was a forbidden word.

And so Yun Yun immediately exploded again, sucking in her stomach.

"You're the one who's fat! A little fairy could never get fat."

Hearing that, Chen Yang measured her again with an ambiguous smile, making Yun Yun feel his touch until her pretty face flushed scarlet.

Gazing at the delicate, alluring beauty in his arms, Chen Yang leaned down to her ear, his voice husky and laden with meaning.

"You really have gotten fatter, and by more than just a little."

"Go die!" Yun Yun laughed in anger, gritting her teeth.

Yun Yun was practically furious to death.

She had gotten fuller, all right!

How could he call that fat?

Besides, that wasn't how the word "fat" was supposed to be used.

If he had to say anything, he should say they had gotten bigger.

She refused to acknowledge Chen Yang, puffing out her cheeks in anger, all but telling him to hurry up and coax her.

Her charmingly adorable appearance made one want to both spoil and tease her.

It was rare for the usually lofty sect leader to look so endearing, and Chen Yang was naturally happy to soothe her.

So he pinched her pretty nose. "All right, I'll stop teasing you."

"Come on, don't be angry!"

"Anger hurts your liver and makes you age faster."

Chen Yang pinched her delicate nose, then gently brushed its tip. His warm voice was full of affection, and his eyes rippled with tenderness, making it impossible not to want to lose oneself in them.

Yun Yun's fists itched.

What was she supposed to do when she wanted to hit someone?

She gritted her teeth, shouting indignantly in her heart.

Damn it!

This fox in heat was actually using his handsome looks to seduce her, and the worst part was that she had fallen so deeply she couldn't escape.

So she averted her gaze and looked aside.

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Just shut up!"

"Tell me honestly, what did you come here for? No one visits a temple without a reason."

Chen Yang was immediately displeased.

His brows furrowed, and he pouted unhappily. "What do you mean, no one visits a temple without a reason? Can't I come see my wife when I don't need anything?"

Displeased, Chen Yang gave her a firm squeeze as a small punishment.

"Mmm!" Caught by his sudden squeeze, Yun Yun let out an involuntary, delicate moan.

Her voice was so devastatingly soft that Chen Yang felt his bones melt when he heard it.

It... it was terribly exciting!

So he could not resist trying again.

Yun Yun's cheeks blazed red, her whole body turned pink, and her shimmering eyes made her look heartbreakingly lovely.

"Shameless! Let go of me. I need to cultivate!" Suddenly prodded, Yun Yun stiffened and immediately struggled to get off Chen Yang's lap.

She was his wife, so he had to spoil her.

What could Chen Yang do? He could only obediently let her down.

As his arm left her waist, Yun Yun regained her freedom and warily put two meters between herself and Chen Yang.

Then, feeling that seemed a little too far, she moved a meter closer again. Straightening her back, she pointed outside with a slender finger. "I still need to cultivate. Go outside!"

With you here, I really can't calm down enough to cultivate.

Seeing this, Chen Yang could only marvel at how adorable she was, and he stopped teasing her.

"Wife, there's something I need to tell you. Promise you won't blame me when you hear it!"

Yun Yun suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"What is it?" she asked tentatively in a quiet voice.

Chen Yang confessed honestly. "Well! I thought Yanran had been too idle lately, so I threw her into the Gate of Life and Death."

"What?!" Hearing that Chen Yang had thrown Nalan Yanran into the Gate of Life and Death, Yun Yun cried out in shock.

The sudden high-pitched scream nearly pierced Chen Yang's eardrums, and he hurried to reassure her.

"Wife, calm down, calm down!"

How could Yun Yun possibly calm down?

This could cost someone her life.

The Gate of Life and Death was riddled with danger. No one below Dou Ling could enter.

Nalan Yanran was only a Dou Zhe. How was throwing her in there any different from sending her straight to her death?

"I can't calm down! Yanran is my disciple, and she calls you grandmaster too. How could you bear to do that?"

"No, I have to go check on her right away. Hopefully, she still has a breath left."

As she spoke, Yun Yun formed wings of Dou Qi and rushed toward the forbidden grounds where the Gate of Life and Death stood.

In a small house in Qingshan Town, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

A woman lay pale-faced on a bed. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, dripping onto the bedding and soaking into it.

The woman was caught in a nightmare, her pale face twisted in pain as she shook her head repeatedly.

"No... no... don't!"

She kept repeating the word "don't."

Finally, at a certain moment, her eyes flew open. She jolted upright in bed, gasping for breath.

Once awake, the girl's eyes no longer held their former innocent clarity. They had gained a depth tempered by the years, and she no longer wore all her thoughts on her face.

She looked around the bed, and the familiar surroundings made her already profound gaze deepen further.

After a while, she murmured to herself, "Why? Why am I here?"

"Shouldn't I be in the Flame Alliance in the Central Plains, preparing to break through to the Dou Di realm?"

"Huh! Where are my cultivation and the Poison Pill inside me? Why has my body gotten smaller?"

"This is too strange!"

It took Xiao Yi Xian an entire incense stick's worth of time to finally sort out what had happened.

She had been reborn, returning to the time before Nalan Yanran broke off her engagement with Xiao Yan.

Now she was still in Qingshan Town, still that innocent, kindhearted Xiao Yi Xian, and Nalan Yanran had yet to break off her engagement with Xiao Yan.

Being reborn meant she held the initiative. With her knowledge of certain pivotal moments in history, she could change events and make Xiao Yan's path to becoming a Dou Di smoother.

She could change her own fate, and change the fate of the Xiao Clan, whose entire household had been wiped out by the Misty Cloud Sect.

Most importantly, she could leave no regrets in this life. She would fulfill her wish to marry Xiao Yan, become his wife, and walk hand in hand with him for the rest of their lives.

Xiao Yan was honest and had a strong sense of responsibility. Getting together with him would not be difficult. She only needed a few little tricks.

Speaking of tricks, she thought of Sister Cai Lin. She would follow Sister Cai Lin's example, cook the raw rice into a done meal, and marry with a child on the way.

The moment that thought took root, a wild plan immediately formed in Xiao Yi Xian's heart.

She would take the Magical Beast Mountain Range storyline that originally belonged to Yun Yun and make it her own, but she would not let Xiao Yan jump into the water to cool off.

As for that woman, Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian let out a cold laugh.

She and Xiao Yan had always been bound by an ill-fated romance. In the end, they could never be together.

Since theirs was an ill-fated romance that could never end in union, rather than leaving both of them with regrets, it was better to prevent it from existing at all. That way, there would be no regrets.

Later, when Xiao Yan dealt with the Misty Cloud Sect, he would not show mercy because of that woman's pleas either.

Recalling how unusual Xiao Yan's feelings for Yun Yun had been in her previous life, Xiao Yi Xian wore a bitter expression.

She envied Yun Yun from the bottom of her heart.

In her previous life, Yun Yun's romance with Xiao Yan had been pure, untainted by anything else. Without the Misty Cloud Sect, they surely would have ended up together.

If Yun Yun had been able to be with Xiao Yan, her place in his heart would surely have made her the foremost wife, slightly above Sister Cai Lin and Sister Xun'er.

Unfortunately, the Misty Cloud Sect had been both her making and her undoing. In the end, she became the first love Xiao Yan loved but could never have.

To be honest, she had had it quite hard too.

On one side stood her love, and on the other stood familial affection and debts of gratitude. She could not bear to relinquish either, making the choice agonizing.

Even if Xiao Yi Xian stood in Yun Yun's place, she would probably find it just as difficult to choose!

With her ruthlessness, she might even make a worse choice: hunt Xiao Yan down with all her strength, break his wings, and imprison him in her own little dark room.

But in this life, you won't have to struggle to choose. You can simply die in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

(Xiao Yi Xian is being left to Xiao Yan. In the original story, she grew alongside him and provided him with the greatest help, so leaving her to Xiao Yan also makes up for a regret from the original.

As for why she wasn't given to the protagonist, it's because this is a single-heroine story!

Otherwise, the protagonist could marry one woman a day.)
