Chapter 77: Taking a Car or a Sword (Seeking Subscriptions)

A young girl dressed in a blue waist-tied gown was led in by a little fox.

With willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and a delicate and pretty nose on her porcelain-white face that seemed as fragile as a piece of porcelain, she had a slender waist, long legs, and a graceful figure. It was likely that in a few years, she would become an exceptional beauty.

But for now, she still had a childish air, a budding beauty.

She carried a treasured sword and tied her hair in a man's topknot, with a long ponytail hanging down. She looked somewhat out of place, like a young woman who had just entered the martial world.

The girl glanced at the fox, the fox spirit, and the snake spirit, and her gaze landed on Lu Bei. She smiled, her eyes crescent-shaped like a moon.

"Junior Martial Uncle, I've come to see you."

"Junior Martial Uncle..."

Lu Bei rubbed his chin. "Miss, Lu is naturally delighted to have such a well-behaved and sensible niece like you, but... who are you?"

"Ah!"

The girl smiled awkwardly, clenched her fist, and coughed lightly. She introduced herself seriously, "I am Wei Yu from the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, a disciple of my esteemed master, Bai Jin."

"So you're Senior Sister Bai's talented disciple. Why didn't you say so earlier? Come, let Martial Uncle take a look at you."

Lu Bei instantly became spirited and praised Wei Yu profusely, making the young girl so elated that she couldn't help but grin foolishly, almost forgetting her own surname.

She Xuan furrowed her eyebrows. From her understanding of Lu Bei, he never had anything good to say. Even when asking for help, he couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks. But now, he was praising a junior to the skies...

There must be something wrong.

Lu Bei had guests, and as an outsider, she should have avoided them. But out of curiosity about Lu Bei's hidden background, she pretended to take a stroll in the courtyard and listened attentively.

"Niece, have you eaten? Are you hungry? How did you come here, by car or by sword?"

"I'm not hungry. I walked here."

Lu Bei was overly enthusiastic, and Wei Yu didn't need to be polite with her own family. She got straight to the point, "Junior Martial Uncle, I came down the mountain this time because Master asked me to."

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Bai. Did she have any instructions?"

"Master said that there were abnormalities in the sword talisman and she was worried about your safety, so she specially sent me to check on you."

Wei Yu furrowed her eyebrows and took out a bottle of third-grade Core Nurturing Pill. "Master asked me to give you this bottle of third-grade Core Nurturing Pill and told Martial Uncle to be careful and not provoke any formidable enemies. Other than that... there shouldn't be any other instructions."

"How is Senior Sister now? She has been confined for three years because of me. Is she doing well in the Towering Heaven Sword Sect?"

"She's doing well. She paints every day, and as she paints, she gains insights and breaks through her cultivation realm!"

"That's good."

Lu Bei sighed and tightly held the bottle of third-grade Core Nurturing Pill. It was already difficult for him to enter the Core Incubation Realm, and now Bai Jin was making progress again. He didn't know when he would be able to stop relying on others.

Being a pretty boy was so difficult!

She Xuan: "..."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and an idea popped into her mind. If she was right, she felt that she had grasped Lu Bei's weakness.

"Junior Martial Uncle, who are these people?"

Wei Yu looked at the foxes scattered on the ground and She Xuan, who was eavesdropping nearby. Bai Jin had mentioned before that Lu Bei was the only one on Three Pristine Peak of the Ascension Gate, but it seemed that it wasn't the case. There were not only beautiful women, but also fox spirits with their families.

It was unbelievable.

"This is Hu Mo, a person from Three Pristine Peak. I brought her into the sect before she transformed and she is a second-generation disciple of the Ascension Gate. The rest are her sisters, and they will be accepted into the sect after they transform." Lu Bei finished introducing.

She Xuan: "..."

Is that all?

"Junior Martial Uncle, there is still one more sister," Wei Yu reminded softly.

"She, she is..."

"She Xuan, a Monster Cultivator."

She Xuan approached with a smile, amidst the astonished cries of Wei Yu and Hu Meng. She pressed her slender waist against Lu Bei, reaching out to hold his arm. Her delicate face blushed slightly as she shyly said, "I have a life-and-death agreement with your junior martial brother. Although the wedding date has not been set, it is approaching. He is too embarrassed to tell others, so when you return to the mountain, please inform Senior Sister Bai about this joyful event..."

"Hey, it's not dark yet, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Bei took a sharp breath and quickly covered She Xuan's mouth. He pushed her into the room while explaining to the wide-eyed Wei Yu, "She suffered a serious injury recently, and her mind is a bit confused. She often speaks nonsense. A good beating will cure her. Don't believe her."

Pushing She Xuan into the room, Lu Bei glared at her angrily and lowered his voice, "What are you doing? Why are you doing this? In the prime of your life, why embarrass yourself? Don't you look at yourself in the mirror? I, Lu Bei, am just a rough man. Am I worthy of you?"

She Xuan crossed her arms and blew on her fingernails. "Stop talking nonsense and call out 'Sister She'."

"What? Are you threatening me?"

"How dare I, but if you don't call, I might."

She Xuan sneered, "My mind is messed up. Every time I open my mouth, I talk about being naked by the lake, being touched by someone named Lu Bei..."

"Snake sister." Lu Bei lowered his head and looked at the fine snake scales on She Xuan's wrist.

"Where are you looking?"

She Xuan raised her hand and used her fingertip to lift Lu Bei's chin, leaning in close to blow a breath on his face. Seductively, she said, "You called the wrong person. Look at me and call again."

[You have been poisoned. After deducting poison defense, your HP remains unchanged.]

Lu Bei's eyes twitched as he looked at the alluring face so close to him, weighing the possibility of killing her to keep her quiet.

"Hurry up!"

"Whimper...," Lu Bei whispered softly.

"Louder! Such a big man, haven't you eaten?"

"She-jie."

"Good! Good! Excellent!"

She Xuan took a deep breath, gripping Lu Bei's shoulders tightly. Her face flushed, her body trembling. She felt a sense of satisfaction she had never experienced before, as if all the resentment that had been pent up inside her for the past few days had vanished.

Regaining the confidence she had when she first faced Lu Bei, she felt that the sky was bluer, the water greener, and even Lu Bei looked more handsome.

"I'm satisfied, you can go now!"

She Xuan snapped out of her reverie, her enchanting expression even more intense. "Rest assured, I will pretend not to know about your infatuation with your senior martial sister. I kindly ask you to be more respectful in the future and not kick my door in the middle of the night. Otherwise... I will sacrifice my reputation and go to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect to find your Senior Sister Bai and seek justice for the child in my belly."

"Oh my, is it that serious?"

Lu Bei was dumbfounded. He had seen ruthless people before, but never someone this ruthless.

"You forced me!"

She Xuan said with hatred, her fingertip rubbing back and forth on Lu Bei's chin. "Speaking of which, I'm really curious. Is that Senior Sister Bai as beautiful as a heavenly fairy? You, such a stubborn person, are actually afraid of a little gossip about her and surrender to me?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Lu Bei shrugged off She Xuan's hand, turned around, and walked out of the room.

In this world, there are not only once-in-a-lifetime events, but also zero times and countless times. Today, Snake Auntie has lowered her status and become Sister She. Even if she is called Snake Auntie again, it won't have the same taste as before.

Losing Snake Auntie, his mood was very bad.

Watching Lu Bei's departing figure, She Xuan's smile faded from her face.

After a moment, she coldly snorted:

"Hmph, what's so great about her? Isn't she just an old woman!"
