Chapter 57 - The Brass Piece’s Strange Movement (1/2)
Lin Quan and Tang You wanted to jump for joy and scream in elation upon their breakthrough, Lin Quan in particular. He had stayed at the third heaven of Micro Realm for far too long, but at last, he finally broke through two heavens today. To him, this all seemed like a dream.
“You two will continue to break through and reach higher levels!” Jiang Xiaofan encouraged.
They nodded and replied, “Definitely, Boss! We believe that if we continue to follow you, we can journey farther on our paths to Dao. We will no longer halt at just the Micro Realm! Those main peaks mean nothing to us!”
Although they were giddy with excitement, they had nonetheless spoken the truth. Once aggrieved by the prolonged scorn of the disciples from the main peaks, Jiang Xiaofan’s arrival to Standstill Peak had completely changed them. They were filled with confidence once more!
On the next day, the sky was sunny and bright, just like Jiang Xiaofan’s mood. After all, Lin Quan was already at the fifth heaven while Tang You was at the fourth. As for Old Man Liu, his complexion appeared rosier, and after consuming the gold core pill, many of his wrinkles seemed to have diminished, looking livelier overall.
At the base of the Heavenly Maiden Peak, two female disciples spotted Jiang Xiaofan humming a light tune while walking towards them. They teasingly inquired, “Perverted Wolf, you appear to be in a good mood. What’s the occasion? Tell us!”
Jiang Xiaofan rolled his eyes and grew disheartened. Please, sisters. Can you stop calling me Perverted Wolf so casually? I have a name, alright? You can call me Charming Jiang or Jiang the Handsome but not Perverted Wolf!
He glanced around before whispering, “Xiao Xue’er promised to marry me!”
This was what had gone through his mind. Many relationships begin with a rumor. At first, they’ll say “A” and “B” has something going on between them. Once that rumor spreads, “A” and “B” will eventually be lumped together and love will naturally blossom.Not a bad idea, huh?
Astounded, the girls stared at Jiang Xiaofan with widened eyes. They knew that he and Ye Yuanxue had an intimate relationship and that they would frequently visit each other’s peak. However, this was progressing too fast! How can this guy steal our precious princess just like that?!
Feeling exultant, this was the response that Jiang Xiaofan had wanted to elicit from them. At this time, a piece of rock was shot down from the top of the mountain. Startled, Jiang Xiaofan quickly dodged to the side.
From atop the peak, she loudly ground her teeth, glowered at Jiang Xiaofan, and fumed, “Pft! Perverted Wolf, you are so shameless! Who promised to marry you?! Dream on!”
He immediately felt embarrassed. Damn it, I got caught red-handed! How sad! He then turned around only to notice the two girls staring back at him with mean eyes and scowls.
“Uh, it was all a big joke. Don’t mind it.”
Jiang Xiaofan awkwardly laughed before sprinting up the peak like a bolt of lightning.
Up above, Ye Yuanxue forcefully tugged Jiang Xiaofan’s earlobe as she angrily listed all of his offenses against her, prompting Jiang Xiaofan to continuously roll his eyes in frustration. Seriously, how unlucky am I? How could I have been caught at that moment?!
Ye Qiuyu stood to the side and glanced at her baby sister tugging Jiang Xiaofan’s earlobe. After a light giggle, she resumed to elegantly sipping her tea.
The feeling that she exuded to Jiang Xiaofan was enigmatic. Even though she appeared placid like water, he could sense, with his unusually accurate spiritual instinct, that Ye Qiuyu’s cultivation was much stronger than Ying Tianyang’s.
“I heard Xue’er say that you have reached the Realm of Dust. Congratulations.”
Ye Qiuyu beamed at him. Because of Ye Yuanxue, she was now on very friendly terms with Jiang Xiaofan and no longer addressed him Jiang Gongzi, becoming a lot more casual.
In fact, the disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Peak were all familiar with Jiang Xiaofan. After frequent contacts with him, they had discovered that this man was quite decent and goodhearted. The reason for letting him enter the Heavenly Maiden Peak was now no longer solely because he had the first-generation leader’s jade pendant. It was also because they had sincerely accepted him from the bottom of their hearts. Otherwise, there would’ve been no way that Jiang Xiaofan could have joked in that manner with the two disciples at the base.
“It’s just good fortune.”
Jiang Xiaofan modestly answered as he welcomed Ye Yuanxue’s harassment.
Ye Qiuyu merely smiled, not intending to interfere.
At nightfall, Jiang Xiaofan finally left the Heavenly Maiden Peak. When he arrived at Standstill Peak, he realized that Lin Quan and Tang You had already begun to absorb the surrounding spiritual qi in the air and cultivate the Jade Purity Cultivation Method. Jiang Xiaofan nodded in satisfaction.
