Chapter 113: Chapter 90: The Junior Officer Asks for Orders, Cheng Huang Revolts!_5
Seeing this, Mao Ruxue immediately broke into a smile.
Perfect, her senior brother was still here.
This was the life she desired.
"You girl, why are you standing there, giggling like an idiot outside the door? Why don’t you come in since you’re back?"
Chen Chang’an’s voice came from inside the courtyard.
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s voice, Mao Ruxue quickly responded,
"Senior brother, you misunderstood."
"I wasn’t deliberately lingering outside the door."
"It’s just that seeing you looking so handsome, I was mesmerized."
"Well."
"You little scamp, are you saying you won’t come in just because you find me handsome?" Chen Chang’an asked, setting aside the book in his hand and speaking in annoyance.
"Then senior brother, should I come in?"
Chen Chang’an: ...
If he had any proof, Chen Chang’an could reasonably suspect that Mao Ruxue was teasing him again!
Ah, never mind, he decided to forget it.
"Junior sister, how was your trip down the mountain?"
Once Mao Ruxue came in, Chen Chang’an asked.
Regarding Mao Ruxue’s trip down the mountain, her fabricated reason was just as ridiculously false as the one Chen Chang’an once made. Apparently, she went down to gain worldly experience.
As for this, Chen Chang’an did not intend to expose it.
He just went through the motions and asked.
"Senior brother, it went well, look, I’ve made a breakthrough in my cultivation!"
Hearing Chen Chang’an’s question, Mao Ruxue giggled.
Next, she exhaled a mysterious aura that swirled around her.
Then, a moment later, this aura gathered into a Dharma Aspect behind her.
That Dharma Aspect was a woman.
A stunning and brilliant woman!
Her aura was majestic, her gaze cold.
As if she originates from the ancient times.
A thousand years in a single glance!
"Junior sister, you... you’ve broken through to the Fourth Realm?!"
Chen Chang’an suddenly exclaimed in ’surprise’, mixing up his words.
"Hehe, senior brother, what do you think? I’m awesome, aren’t I?"
Seeing her senior brother’s ’astonished and stunned’ expression, an endless smile spread across Mao Ruxue’s face. Her crescent-moon-shaped eyes squinted with delight.
"Imp...impressive!"
"Junior sister, you really are a God-sent savior for our Daozang Mountain!"
"Daozang Mountain is saved!"
Chen Chang’an’s ’excitement’ and ’astonishment’ showed no signs of diminishing.
He then took Mao Ruxue to the grave of the old mountain lord, Yang Han, where they conducted a pronounced prayer session. He promised that he would take good care of his junior sister and would never let her get tired, and so on and so forth.
Anyway, he said an awful lot of promising words before his excitement finally subsided.
And then, well, that was it....
The next morning when Mao Ruxue woke up, she found that her senior brother, Chen Chang’an, seemed to have completely forgotten all the things she said yesterday.
He still expected her to do all the work as per usual.
Boiling water, cooking, going down the mountain to buy vegetables...
Ahhh~!
She was a noble Fourth Realm Great Cultivator, why was she saddled with all these chores every day!
Mao Ruxue was nearly in tears.
Every other Fourth Realm Great Cultivator on other mountains was venerated like an ancestor,
But here she was, still doing the same old things.
She really couldn’t keep living like this...
No, she needed to think of a way to have her senior brother recruit a few disciples to the mountain.
If not, life on this mountain would become unbearable.
Mao Ruxue thought to herself.
For a moment, a smile appeared on her face.
But then, looking at the courtyard filled with squawking giant swans, her face instantly turned bitter again.
Perhaps, she shouldn’t have ever allowed her curiosity to get the better of her and asked her senior brother to teach her how to roast geese...
...
Buzz~!
Meanwhile, as Mao Ruxue returned to Daozang Mountain and everything returned to normal,
Outside Tianshui City, below the Tianshui Sect.
In a secluded grove, a sudden ripple in spatial energy occurred.
Then, a human-sized spatial portal appeared at the spot.
Next, two figures walked out from within.
One was an ominous middle-aged man.
The old man was dressed in a Daoist robe, surrounded by a strong demonic Qi, making him look very much like a bloodthirsty Great Demon.
The other was a woman clad in a white dress.
A small, delicate yellow flower decorated the woman’s chest.
On the banks of the River of Oblivion blooms the Onshore Flower!
Once the pair emerged, their gaze first went towards the majestic mountain reaching the clouds before shifting back to Tianshui City several dozen miles ahead.
"Shall we head into the city to gather some information?" the woman asked.
"Good," the middle-aged man agreed without rejecting her proposition.
After ensuring they had their directions correct, the two of them changed into beams of light and headed towards Tianshui City.
"Candied haws for sale~!"
"Candied haws for sale~!"
"Buns! Fresh buns~!"
"Tofu for sale, delicious tofu~!"
"Please, kind sir, spare some food~!"
"..."
No sooner had the two entered the city than they were immediately surrounded by the shouts of street vendors.
A non-stop stream of noise.
It took a while for them to get past the bustling market area.
They then reached a relatively quiet roadside.
Finally, led by the woman, they walked into a bustling snack house.
"Yu Qingtong, why have you brought me here?"
"Remember, we are here to investigate that Tianshui Sect’s Chen Chang’an."
