Chapter 841: Ignite, Little Sister with Vitality!
A few days later.
Yi Nan and Yue Bing, who missed her elder brother, accompanied Yue Yang to visit the newly restored Emerald Lord’s Mansion.
As the host, Bi Lu naturally took good care of them. After touring around, Yue Bing saw Lie Yan of the ancient dragon bloodline undergoing cultivation diligently. She sighed, “Sister Lie Yan’s progress is too fast. She just broke through from the 5th Level of the Heaven Rank to the 6th Level recently. Yet it has only been less than a month and she has already progressed to the 7th Level of the Heaven Rank…”
Lie Yan heard her words and for some reason, she became embarra.s.sed as her face flushed with a shade of red.
Yi Nan naturally understood what was going on.
In fact, it wasn’t just Lie Yan who had achieved a breakthrough. Bi Lu, who sat beside her, used to only have the cultivation of the peak 3rd Level of the Heaven Rank. But now, she has improved by two levels and reached the 5th Level of the Heaven Rank!
Yue Bing didn’t know what the secret was. She thought that Lie Yan had really improved through hard training as she envied her, “Can you tell me what techniques you used? I practice every day as well, but my progress has not been fast. “
Lie Yan waved her hands in panic and embarra.s.sment, “I didn’t use any special techniques, so don’t ask me!”
Yue Yang had just returned from hearing Yan Zao’s report. Lie Yan suddenly rushed out upon seeing him, knocking a large part of the doorway without even noticing it.
Yue Bing was clueless, what’s the matter?
Yi Nan chuckled secretly.
However, despite them being close, Yi Nan was not going to explain that sort of thing to Yue Bing.
Lie Yan refused to return to the Tong Tian Tower with Yue Yang. Instead, Bi Lu was the one who expressed her desire to meet Si-niang and Yue Yang’s elders sometime. Finally, under Yi Nan’s persuasion, the Emerald Mansion was to be temporarily managed by Yu Qian Jun and the others as they returned to the Heaven Stairway World Tree. After all, the affairs of the Southern Heaven Realm can be put aside for a while. Besides, Yue Yang has set his sights on attacking the Land of Trials of the Western Heaven Realm as his next target, so there was no need for them to remain here.
Back under the Heaven Stairway World Tree, Yue Bing once again talked to Yue Yu. She questioned if the problem lies with her stupidity as to why her cultivation speed was far inferior to Lie Yan even though the Head of Flames had joined the gang later.
Yue Yu really didn’t know how to comfort her.
But the beauty Luo Hua who was pa.s.sing by gave her an idea to let her rest with Yi Nan in the future. She said that this would make them improve together, resulting in Yue Bing happily going back to move the pillows and quilts. Because of Yue Yu’s advice, Yue Bing, who was actually living in the same place with Yinan, moved out of the room a while ago. However, since she moved out, she felt that her cultivation speed has become slower than before. It seems that the little sister-in-law, Yi Nan, really helped improve the speed of her cultivation. Having figured this out, the little girl Yue Bing was very happy.
“That was not good!” Of course, Yue Yu knew the actual reason.
“It’s nothing, it’s better than a certain brother going into my sister’s room in the middle of the night and instilling her with a strong energy! Those in the know would understand that he is a good brother who loves his sister, but for those who don’t might misunderstand his intentions and accuse him of doing something else!” Luo Hua asked with a smile, “Or, you can come to my room tonight, I have a lot to say to you.”
“No, no,” Yue Yu was taken aback, waving her hand as she declined, “If you have something to say, just say it here.”
“I really have something to tell you, and it’s not what you think,” Beauty Luo Hua’s expression was serious.
“Let’s not mention this topic,” Yue Yu’s cheeks were blus.h.i.+ng red. She made sure no one was within hearing proximity before whispering, “What do you want to tell me? I-I may not be able to help you. So actually, you should ask Tian Fa (Sky Law) or Wu Hen instead!”
“I already did, but everyone’s situation is different. I think you are closer to me, so I came to ask you,” Beauty Luo Hua pa.s.sed her words using a secret language.
“I don’t understand anything at all… figure it out yourself!” When Yue Yu heard this, she was embarra.s.sed and waved her hand to deny any possibility of having further discussions with Luo Hua regarding this matter. However, beauty Luo Hua felt that Yue Yu knew a thing or two that she wasn’t revealing. If they could communicate secretly, the two parties would make progress. But Yue Yu refused to make the connection due to her secrecy of her ident.i.ty, making her sigh helplessly, “Okay, you don’t have to be like this. I won’t talk about this topic anymore so you can continue to work. I will ask Qian Qian and Wu Xia, maybe they can help me.”
“They wouldn’t know. No matter how much of a genius they are, there are some things that they know nothing of.” Yue Yu shyly made a suggestion, “You might as well go to Yi Nan, she should know a few things.”
“Yi Nan is too young. I feel like there’s a generation gap between us so I am a little embarra.s.sed to tell her this,” Beauty Luo Hua’s face was slightly reddened.
“You are capable of embarra.s.sment? Then, why did you still come to me?” Yue Yu was speechless.
“Haha!” The beauty Luo Hua shrugged her shoulders in flamboyance. Although she didn’t reply, her expression implied that she was most comfortable with her. Hence, she would naturally go to her when she needed help, which slightly annoyed Yue Yu.
That night, the Phoenix Fairy Beauty seemed to have caught wind of a secret as she proposed an idea. Yue Bing didn’t understand, but when she offered to partic.i.p.ate, Yue Yu stopped her, making her feel that she must have insufficient abilities to partic.i.p.ate in this suggestion. In the end, under the repet.i.tive “coercion” of the Phoenix Fairy Beauty, Luo Hua, Red and the others reluctantly expressed their willingness to partic.i.p.ate.
Could it be that sister-in-law Tian Fa’s proposal was related to my brother?
With that train of thought, Yue Bing fell asleep, but when she opened her eyes, she found that her brother and his clothes were lying on the edge of the bed. His arms were outstretched, acting as pillows for Yi Nan and herself, which made her instantaneously happy.
It turns out that my brother didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the proposal at all. Like usual, he came to rest with me after he finished handling his own matters.
“Shhh!”
Yue Bing put up her slenderly pale fingers, signalling for Yue Yang to continue accompanying Yi Nan and not to wake her up as she herself got up quietly and for practice. She tiptoed over from Yi Nan’s side and proceeded to take the quilt to gently cover Yue Yang. Although she knows that her brother was not afraid of the cold, it would still be uncomfortable to sleep out of the covers. Mother was not around, so she wanted to take care of her brother on her behalf. After was.h.i.+ng up, Yue Bing slipped in quietly, asking her brother to see if she looked presentable. When Yue Yang gave her a thumbs up and even made a cheering gesture, she happily closed the door and went out to practice energetically.
Today, with the encouragement of her brother and the good influence of resting with Yi Nan, Yue Bing felt that her mood and energy had improved a lot.
As a result, she strengthened her confidence as she started a new day of cultivation.
Speaking of hard work.
She would never be inferior to anyone!
Yue Yu saw this scene from a distance and smiled wryly.
This young lady’s heart was too pure.
Moreover, the more purification and guidance she got from Yue Yang, the purer her mind, body, and energy became. Under this kind of peaceful and independently dynamic cultivation, it would be difficult for Yue Bing to not have any improvements!
Yue Yu changed her thought process. In fact, this was something positive. Having the purity of mind was not a bad thing, and rapid progress in cultivation would be even more of a good thing!
If no one said anything, how would outsiders ever know?
Think about yourself, you are… Yue Yu’s face was feverish. She quickly glimpsed at some scenes that flashed through her mind, before she recollected herself back to her serious persona.
Three days later.
Yue Bing returned to Tian Luo Palace with her brother to meet Si-niang and proudly reported to her mother, “Mom, I have advanced to another level. I thought it would take a long time to break through, but my brother is a lucky star. Once he came back, I succeeded! Also, my brother personally helped me with this hairstyle. He said it looks good leaving a strand of stray hair on top! Mom, what do you think?”
The young lady’s face was s.h.i.+ning, her bright smile capable of making flowers to hang their petals lowly in shame.
On the top of the head, a strand of hair was left out purposely.
Soaring proudly into the sky.
It seems that she was extremely energetic and lively
Si-niang smiled and gently touched the top of her head: “You’re already about to grow up, why do you need your brother to help style your hair? But leaving one strand of hair curled up is indeed very different from your usual look. It looks pretty funny, but nothing matters as long as you like it.”
The girl Shuang Er pouted, “What’s so great about having just one strand? I have a lot of curled up hair!”
Yue Bing glared at her, “That is called shrivelled. You don’t comb your hair in the morning, and yet you have the means to complain? Come here, I will help you tidy it…”
Shuang Er found it troublesome, so she ran away and hid behind Yue Yang, “Don’t!”
After Yue Yang and Si-niang reunited briefly, he went to see His Majesty again, and asked whether his Majesty had collected any news about the Buried Sword Valley. Who knew that His Majesty really got angry the last time and refused to see him. However, when Yue Yang was about to go to see Jun Wu You, His Majesty sent someone to give him a book. It had ancient characters on its cover, and despite Yue Yang mastering most of the reading ability of the inheritance of knowledge, he wasn’t even able to recognize it and sweated profusely.
Jun Wu You was much easier to talk to.
Moreover, it was also easy for him to handle things. When Yue Yang came back from handling the matters in the Southern Heaven Realm, he said that he had already sent someone to pa.s.s through the hill where the ancient runes were located.
“The ancient runes are definitely available, but they are not necessarily suitable for you,” The old fox snickered gleefully, “You have always been very lucky, kid. This time, I guess you really won’t have your share. I went to see it and even talked to Nan Gong. They have studied it and they think it should be an ancient rune that was suitable for women’s fusion.”
“Even if I can’t use it, I still have a younger sister!” Student Yue Yang was a typical character who doesn’t offer good things to outsiders.
“Hey, you not only have a younger sister, but also a fiance. Take my precious daughter to have a look. Perhaps the rune may be suitable for my family’s Qian Qian to fuse with!” Jun Wu You was a father that treated his daughter like a beloved baby. Of course, he was not the only one with such qualities as there was also the Eastern Sky King. The Eastern Sky King is a person who would never accept unfavoured situations— if Yue Yang didn’t bring Luo Hua along with him, he was sure to fight to the death with him.
“Can you both just calm down a little?” The cunning boy hid his face and couldn’t bear to watch the performance of Jun Wu You and the Eastern Sky King. For goodness sake, one of them is an emperor and the other is a prince!
In fact, the Eastern Sky King had done his research about it.
He felt that his daughter was unlikely to integrate the ancient rune, hence, his calm demeanour. Otherwise, he would have continuously pestered Yue Yang long ago.
Yue Yang asked about the Buried Sword valley, but Jun Wu You said that it would be determined later. After all, mountain earthworms were not omnipotent.
Back at the Heaven Stairway, the beauty Luo Hua and the others have already known of the inside information, and they were too lazy to see the ancient runes that wouldn’t ever belong to them. Princess Qian Qian and Xue Wuxia also felt that they were unlikely to contract with it because the attributes of the ancient runes had already deemed them incompatible. It’s just that they want to have their own chance one day to experience some form of fusion… but Yue Bing, who didn’t know anything about it, shot up to the sky with her lovely locks of hair flowing behind her as she happily followed her brother, expression energetic and luminent.
She was so happy and was in a state of excitement about taking adventures with her brother, to the point where she barely even acknowledged the discreet sarcasm that the Sickly Beauty expressed.
“This young lady is so lucky to have such a brother and to experience such a fortunate event,” The beauty Luo Hua said with a smile.
“Bing Er has worked very hard as well!” Yue Yu felt that this was the most important reason.
