Behind the screen divider, Yan Xuehen became nervous.
âWhat do you need her for?â Zu An asked in confusion. Yan Xuehen was also puzzled.
âItâs nothing. Itâs just that my hands are itching a bit and I want to hit something,â Yun Jianyue replied. She even swatted the air a few times while speaking.
Yan Xuehen was speechless. Zu An didnât understand what she meant at first, but he immediately understood when he saw those movements. These two really are destined to be enemiesâ¦
âAhem, I haven't seen her. Maybe sheâs on a stroll somewhere, or she went to some guyâs room.â Zu An said with a deadly earnest expression.
Yan Xuehen almost jumped out to bite him to death. This guy was actually working together with Yun Jianyue to bully her!
Yun Jianyue couldn't help but laugh, saying, âThatâs where youâre wrong. Iâve fought against that stone cold woman for so many years. Even though she has a ton of flaws, sheâs always remained completely pure in terms of romance. Why would she be in a manâs room?â
Behind the screen, Yan Xuehenâs face heated up. I absolutely canât let her see me here, or else Iâll die from embarrassment!
Yun Jianyue said, âRight, youâve fought quite well today. There were several times where even I broke out into a cold sweat, worried that you might not make it. That Golden Crow Crown Prince is one of the strongest at the master rank, and he even had the help of the Fiend Emperorâs divine weapon. The fact that you were able to win against him really was quite excellent. Honglei didnât choose the wrong man after all.â
Yan Xuehen frowned, thinking to herself, This woman really is cunning. She keeps using Qiu Honglei to pull their relationship closer. Does that mean I should talk more about Chuyan with him in the future?
Inside the wardrobe, Little White and Little Blue listened in confusion. Why is there another girl named Honglei, and what kind of relationship do they have?
âItâs all because big sisters have taught me well,â Zu An quickly said. Yan Xuehen felt a bit better when she heard him praise her too.
However, Yun Jianyue said a bit unhappily, âThe stuff that stone cold woman taught you wasnât even of any help in your battle against the Golden Crow Crown Prince this time. Its use isnât as practical as my skill at all.â
Yan Xuehenâs expression turned ice cold. This woman even wants to argue over something like this? But the most infuriating part was that she couldn't even object!
Little White and Little Blue widened their eyes. So big brother Zuâs skills were taught by these two women? No wonder they were always so prideful, and even the clan leader treated them with respect!
Ah, we canât let his masters find out that weâre hiding here no matter what, or else their impression of us will be completely ruined!
But they quickly remembered that they had already been caught by Yan Xuehen. Their expressions sank. They definitely had to give her some suitable presents in the future to apologize to herâ¦
Zu An coughed and said, âTheyâre all useful! Both are useful.â Yan Xuehen was right there, so he couldn't start gossiping.
âYouâre always so slick-tongued. Forget it. That only means you wouldnât speak ill of me in front of her either,â Yun Jianyue said, then nodded in satisfaction.She asked, âRight, that move of yours that covered the skies with sword ki, what is it called? Itâs actually pretty cool looking.â
âReally? I thought so too,â Zu An replied, his vanity greatly satisfied. He answered, âIt comes from the Phoenix Nirvana Sutraâ¦â However, he actually didnât know if it really came from the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, or if it was some additional function provided by the keyboard system.
âThe Phoenix Nirvana Sutra really is mysterious.â Yun Jianyue clicked her tongue in wonder. âBut I feel that the move still has a lot of room for perfection. If you alter it a bit, you can just defeat the Golden Crow Crown Prince with that move alone. There wonât be any need to put yourself in such a dangerous situation anymore.â
Zu An was shocked. He quickly asked, âHow can it be improved?â
Yun Jianyue helped him apply medicine while asking, âDid you pay attention when Golden Crow Crown Prince created his sword formation? The reason it was so powerful is because he used his own feathers. That made his feathers more concentrated and sturdier than sword ki made out of thin air. Furthermore, because your sword ki is made out of thin air, its power seems to be linked to your own cultivation. Against the truly strong, it isnât very useful at all.â
Zu An nodded. He had faced grandmasters before, and back then, that attack wasnât too effective. That was why he just hadnât chosen to use it in those situations.
Yun Jianyue continued, âSo, you can just imitate the Golden Crow Race⦠Donât look at me like that. I know you donât have any feathers. What Iâm saying is that you can refine some earth-grade or higher-level weapons. Of course, the higher the rank, the better. You can then use those swords in place of the sword ki, and the attack will become much stronger.â
âOur Holy Sect might not have many other things, but we have quite a few weapons. If you come visit our sect in the future, you can take a look around our warehouse. Of course, the heaven-grade weapons all have owners and I canât give them to you, but giving you a few dozen earth-grade weapons isnât too big of an issue.â
In the martial world, a single earth-grade weapon was already enough to cause a hubbub within many sects. As for a heaven-grade weapon, they were usually weapons only the greatest sects would possess. Immortal-grade weapons, on the other hand, were already the stuff of legend. As for deity-grade weapons, not many of them had appeared since ancient times. Every single one of them had tremendous history.
The fact that he could get tens of earth-grade weapons in one go would already be quite the big investment.
Behind the screen divider, Yan Xuehenâs eyes widened in shock. This woman really was going all out! Looks like I have to think of something too, or else heâll be roped in by that demoness⦠That wonât be good for my White Jade Sect at all.
Little White and Little Blue were completely stupefied. Just what kind of a background did this woman have? She was actually giving away tens of earth-grade weapons that easily? All in all all, their entire Snake Race only had a few earth-grade weapons!
They had thought that the two women were weak individuals hiding behind their big brother Zu for protection. Now, it seemed that big brother Zu was actually a mooching pretty boy!
Zu An was moved as well. He had never thought of that before. If he really tried that out, wouldnât the attack become dozens of times more powerful? He said with a smile, âThank you for your reminder, big sis sect master. But I donât need those earth-grade weapons. I have some weapons of my own.â
âOh? Youâre showing disdain even toward earth-grade weapons?â Yun Jianyue replied in annoyance. âDonât tell me you have a bunch of heaven-grade weapons on you?â
Zu An said with an awkward chuckle, âI donât have any heaven-grade weapons.â
âWhat are you acting all cocky for if you donât have them?â Yun Jianyue asked, dumbstruck.
âBut I seem to have acquired some immortal-grade onesâ¦â Zu An took out some weapons and put them on the table as he spoke.
Yun Jianyueâs eyes widened. She exclaimed, âThese are Sun Slaying Arrows, this is that Poisonous Prick, this is the sword that blocked the Sun Slaying Bow head on⦠Kid, your treasury is making even me a bit jealous. I almost want to steal these from you.â
Yan Xuehen nodded in deep sympathy. This kid was a bit too well off, right? It was already quite amazing for a great sect to have a single immortal-grade weapon, yet this brat had so many of them. Furthermore, some of them might be even higher than immortal-grade!
âHm? What are these five throwing knives?â Yun Jianyueâs voice sounded again.
Zu An said, âThese are the Immortal Beheading Knives I got in the past. I had a feeling that they might secretly be divine weapons, so I kept them.â
âDivine weapons?â Yun Jianyue picked one up and flicked it. She said, âThe material is quite good and theyâre sharp, but they donât seem to have any special skills. I donât think theyâre divine weapons.â
Zu An chuckled and said, âItâs just a suspicion. Who knows? Maybe they were sealed or something, so I might have to gather nine of them before they transform.â
âThatâs not entirely impossible,â Yun Jianyue said as she lowered the throwing daggers. Then, she gave him some pointers on cultivation that were extremely helpful.
A while later, she said, âRight, once you return to the human world, pay our Holy Sect a visit. We should get your marriage with Honglei over with already.â
Zu An was surprised and happy. He replied, âSo you agree?â
Yun Jianyue harrumphed, âIâm not like that stone cold woman, so why would I try to break up two lovebirds? But I still have to make this clear beforehand. Youâre not allowed to take her virginity before Honglei cultivates Heavenly Devil Temptation fully.â
Zu Anâs expression immediately sank. He replied, âThen itâll be fine even if we get married laterâ¦â
âOf course not!â Yun Jianyue immediately sat up straight. She said, âA playboy like you has to have many other girls lined up, so we have to establish the order first. That stone cold woman keeps bringing up her discipleâs past relationship with you, and it really pisses me off! You two have clearly divorced already, so what relationship do you even have left with that disciple of hers?
âIâve fought against that stone cold woman my entire life. She canât win against me, and her disciple will always be beneath mine!â
Yan Xuehenâs entire body was shaking when she heard that. This woman really was treacherous!
Right when she almost couldn't hold herself back anymore and was about to rush out, a gentle voice called out from outside the door, âAh Zu~â
Itâs Yu Yanluo (clan leader)!
The women inside were all stunned.
Just as she took a step forward, Yan Xuehen quickly pulled her foot back. Little White and Little Blue both nervously shrank into the wardrobe.
Yun Jianyue also suddenly got up. She wouldnât really have cared before, but it was now deep into the night. That brat Zu Anâs clothes still werenât on. Other people might not believe that they hadnât done anything when they were sitting on the same bed.
She was full of experience in other areas, but that wasnât one of them. She felt a headache when she thought about another womanâs jealousy. Itâs less trouble if no one knows!
She quickly made her decision and hissed, âDonât tell her that Iâm here!â
Then, she instantly rushed over to open the wardrobe.
