An unusual herb like the ginseng had a good intuition of danger. It ran away at the sight of Long Xue.
Long Xue said in bewilderment, âIs that Xiao Jintingâs son?â
Qing Fu, the female cultivator, said, âYes. He looks like Xiao Jinting.â
Long Xue narrowed her eyes. âXiao Jinting has reached the peak of Nascent Soul, and Xu Muan seems to be the advanced Nascent Soul. Can they have babies?â
Qing Fu said, âSo everyone says they are blessed.â
âThe kid smells good. I want to swallow him.â Long Xue didnât know the child was ginseng. She sensed it was a good thing with her intuition.
Qing Fu gasped. âYour majesty, thatâs Xiao Jintingâs son. You canât touch him. If you swallow him⦠Heâs too small.â Qing Fu seemed to misunderstand Long Xue.
Long Xue glanced at her and said sulkily, âWhat are you thinking? Am I so desperate in your eyes?â She clenched her fist. What was going on? She was beautiful. Why did Qing Fu think she would take a fancy to a child? Just because she didnât marry anyone?
Qing Fu gave an awkward smile. âYour Majesty, I didnât mean that.â
Long Xue snorted coldly. âYouâd better not.â
Dongcheng Yang came out and said, âMs. Long, youâve come back.â
Long Xue crossed her arms and said with a vague smile, âYeah. You donât seem happy to see me back.â
Dongcheng Yang quickly shook his head and said, âMs. Long, youâve got me wrong.â
Long Xue said, âMr. Dongcheng, that son of Xiao Jinting is adorable.â
Dongcheng Yang winced at the mention of the mischievous child. âYeah, the son of the First Elder and Elder Xu is lovely. With their help, he has a bright future.â
â¦
The ginseng ran and bumped into Xiao Xiaojin.
Xiao Xiaojin looked at the panting ginseng and frowned. âWhy are you running so fast?â
The ginseng said worriedly, âA demonic beast wanted to eat me. Sheâs scary, scarier than your father.â Although Long Xue didnât do anything, the ginseng felt the threat.
Xiao Xiaojin looked at the ginseng and smiled. âI guess youâve met Long Xue.â
âThe devil.â The ginseng covered its mouth and looked afraid, fearing that Long Xue would come out from nowhere.
Xiao Xiaojin patted the ginseng on the shoulder and said, âDonât be a coward. You are her peer. You are great. I canât get in the same league as her.â
Looking at the gloating smile on Xiao Xiaojinâs face, the ginseng said in depression, âShe is powerful.â
Thinking of her imposing air, the ginseng was scared.
Xiao Xiaojin muttered, âThe female devil is back. It looks like things are almost settled in Nebula. Itâs too fast.â
The ginseng followed Xiao Xiaojin in depression back to Xiao Jintingâs house.
Looking at the ginseng, Xiao Jinting stroked its head and said, âMy son, why do you come back so early?â
The ginseng told people that it was Xiao Jintingâs son, and Xiao Jinting naturally treated it as his son.
Xiao Xiaojin said, âIt was scared by Long Xue.â
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, âOh, I see. My son, learn from her. She is the real devil. You are a false one. When the real devil comes up, you have to hide.â
The ginseng was speechless.
Xiao Xiaojin didnât know what to say.
After a while, he asked, âFather, did Long Xue come back because those Deity Transformation left Nebula?â
Xiao Jinting nodded. âWhen they heard that the Tower of Babel could access the Immortal World, those Deity Transformation cultivators swarmed to Nebula.â
âNebula is too small to support so many Deity Transformation cultivators, who left there when they found out the tower would be open in dozens of years.â
âI guess they will go to Nebula again when the tower opens again. There will be fierce fights.â
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Xiao Jinting and said, âFather, will you go there when the tower opens?â
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, âYes, of course.â
Xiao Xiaojin asked, âFather, the competition has got fierce. Do you think you can get the key to the tower?â
Xiao Jinting said sullenly, âIâm famous for something. You look down on me.â
Xiao Xiaojin smiled and said, âIâm over worried.â
