Chapter 32: Thirteen Years Old and Already Browsing Baili Pavilion—The Wang Clan Has a Worthy Successor!

As a transmigrator tempered by all manner of literary works, Yulou was no stranger to the idea that big shots would come incognito to brothels, teahouses, bathhouses, and dance halls.

Countless legendary Immortal Emperors, Dao Ancestors, Hokages... before they rose to power, all had encountered great opportunities in places like these.

But True Person Danri was clearly different from those incognito big shots in the stories.

The point wasn't that her appearance had some generic physiological female features, but rather her getup...

Her chubby body was wrapped in a gold gauze robe that clung tightly to her figure, and at the corner of her lips lingered the juice from the spirit fruits she'd just been devouring—she looked just like a greedy little Miss.

The most outrageous part was that True Person Danri even wore her hair in double buns—exactly the look a thirteen-year-old girl-next-door should have.

No matter how you looked at her, there wasn't a trace of a major cultivator about her.

But Yulou also knew clearly that from how Wang Xianmao had only been startled when he walked closer, one could infer that the clan head's divine sense had detected him, but couldn't see this True Person.

The crushing dominance of a Purple Mansion cultivator over a Foundation Establishment cultivator was hidden in precisely these seemingly casual details.

Therefore, this little chubby girl was undoubtedly True Person Danri!

"Before you came, I was having quite a nice time with these two brats. The moment you showed up it got boring. Xianmao, what do you think we should do about that?"

True Person Danri sat in her seat, propping her chin up with a plump, pink little hand, and spoke to the clan head, who was still rooted to the spot and hadn't recovered from his shock.

A True Person was interrogating him—what could Wang Xianmao possibly do?

The old clan head reacted quickly, immediately turning his head to furiously scold the two brothers.

"You little bastards, did you two just offend True Person Danri!"

It looked as though the clan head had chosen to let the kids suffer first, but this choice wasn't actually that simple.

It was brimming with extraordinary reflexes, bitter restraint, a resilient will... and love for the family's younger generation.

If those two little rascals had actually offended True Person Danri, then Wang Xianmao's attitude was perfectly judged.

Martial Uncle, if they were rude, I've already disciplined them, so let's call it even.

If they hadn't offended True Person Danri, then getting scolded by their own clan head wouldn't cost them anything either.

The pre-fabricated man-children raised by twenty-first-century modern society weren't suited for this cruel Cultivation World—Wang Yuan's resilience before the ten-pull was the best example of that.

Wang Rongyuan had given Wang Yuan a rather ungentle slap to force a choice: either learn to adapt, or don't step into this at all—go home and raise donkeys!

At that moment, Wang Yuan had actually had a choice.

That was a choice—a staggeringly luxurious choice, propped up by more than ten generations of Wang Shi ancestors' unremitting struggle, before the wheel of fate ground toward a thirteen-year-old boy!

But right now, Wang Xianmao had none.

True Person Danri was most likely joking.

But Wang Xianmao didn't have the slightest intention of gambling on that—or more precisely, he didn't have the slightest courage to gamble on it.

The clan head used his extraordinary reflexes to choose bitter restraint, and with a resilient will, after the Martial Uncle's seemingly teasing interrogation, gave the response that absolutely couldn't be wrong.

Children, don't blame the clan head for being ungentle—you don't understand what kind of people these True Persons are.

True Persons and ordinary people are two different species!

"Hahaha, it must have been me who offended them by drinking their tea, hahahahaha."

Seeing these two unlucky brothers getting scolded by their own clan head again, True Person Danri burst out laughing once more.

They'd entered Baili Pavilion for a pot of spirit tea, only to first be startled by themselves, then 'endure humiliation' and decide to finish their tea and run.

Now they hadn't managed to run, and had been cornered by their own clan head.

Unbelievable!

"No offense taken, Senior was just joking with us, no offense taken!" Yulou hurriedly said.

Standing before a True Person, Yulou didn't have the nerve to consider the little chubby girl's mockery of them brothers just now an offense.

Could anything a True Person did count as an offense?

Absolutely not!

That was called sharing joy with the people, that was called a Senior's deep and earnest encouragement!

It's just that this kind of encouragement was too profound—Yulou hadn't figured it out for a moment just now!

"Boring, boring, all you Wang family people are cut from the same mold.

Senior Brother Yinghua was like this, a thousand years have passed, and Xianmao, you're the same, and this child is the same.

Why hasn't your Wang Shi produced a single Purple Mansion cultivator in over a thousand years?

It's precisely because you lack that kind of courageous, forward-rushing boldness!"

Senior Brother Yinghua?

Ancestor Wang Xuanying's fourth son, Wang Yinghua?

Before Yulou could think further, True Person Danri pointed at the clan head again and spoke.

"Go, you spoiled my fun, so go order me a few male cultivators from Baili Pavilion and have them come on stage to liven things up.

In my current appearance it's inconvenient—those cultivators only ever order female cultivators, watching them is putting me to sleep."

Wang Xianmao's mind was still echoing with that line 'because you lack that kind of courageous, forward-rushing boldness,' and upon hearing True Person Danri's command, he hurriedly bowed and accepted.

"Xianmao will arrange it right away. How about I move you to a private booth on the second floor? The view is better from there."

The moment these words came out, the way Yulou looked at the clan head instantly changed.

Clan head, looking at you like this, seems you've not spent little at Baili Pavilion, have you?

"No need, it's the same everywhere."

True Person Danri casually pulled the two Wang brothers over to her seat with a flick of her hand, and said.

"I'll help you test these two children's spiritual roots—your spirit stones won't be spent for nothing."

Wang Xianmao was overjoyed at once, and happily went off to contact the male Baili attendants.

True Person Danri pressed her little fleshy hand on Yulou's shoulder, and Yulou was tense as a drawn bowstring.

"Relax. Six fire, four water. For Qi Refining, choose... mm, the Water Drop Cave's Reverse-Meridian Gui Water Qi—it suits you best, and it's top-tier for combat."

Cultivating Qi, cultivating Qi—the greatest difference among Qi cultivation cultivators lies in the type of Qi they cultivate.

The strength, effects, and compatibility must all be considered.

"As for you, eight parts metal, two parts earth—you have too much metal, and your earth root is too weak.

Under these circumstances, you have two choices for Qi cultivation: the Rusty Iron Fiend Metal Qi of Red Lantern can help you reach Foundation Establishment fastest, but afterward you must replenish the Four Meridians' Dao Base.

Or use metal-earth dual-natured spiritual energy—your Wang Shi's Crimson Rock Washing Metal Qi will do; any better choice would demand enormous cost."

True Person Danri, with his Purple Mansion stature, judged their root traits and pointed them toward the correct path for Qi cultivation.

Master Hongmei sought an audience with Danri for precisely this reason—he wanted True Person Danri to assess whether his Qi cultivation had reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

Yet now, the opportunity Master Hongmei begged for, Wang Yulou and Wang Yuan had simply and effortlessly obtained.

Can you guess how they got it?

They entered Bailixuan for a pot of spiritual wine, endured the pain of watching the female immortals, gazed and drank at the same time—and they got it!

Where could Master Hongmei possibly go to argue this?

"Wang Yulou and Wang Yuan thank True Person for the guidance!"

True Person Danri waved her hand and turned her gaze to the stage in the center of Bailixuan's pool, then casually picked up a spiritual fruit and continued eating.

Onstage, Wang Xianmao's chosen male Baili had begun sword dancing.

Compared to these two old children who became stiff and timid after learning her true identity, True Person clearly preferred watching the handsome, elegant male Baili.

"Uncle, are you satisfied with these?"

Wang Xianmao returned and asked respectfully.

"Acceptable."

True Person Danri was merely watching for amusement; she had seen too many geniuses and outstanding talents, equivalent to having tasted every kind of rare delicacy.

She came to Bailixuan purely out of boredom, to sample some wild flavor.

"Then I'll let you enjoy it, and take these two little rascals away first."

Being near a Purple Mansion grand cultivator isn't strictly a good thing—such grand cultivators can decide the fate of the entire Wang clan with a single thought; Wang Xianmao wanting to leave quickly is perfectly normal.

True Person Danri spoke with implication.

"They aren't rascals—your Wang Shi has worthy successors; these two boys are only thirteen and already visiting Bailixuan—unusual indeed~"

Wang Yuan was stunned; he looked at his elder brother, his eyes full of confusion.

Brother, didn't the True Person just say she'd help us prove we were only here for tea?

Why did she change her mind?

"Thank True Person for the guidance—I'll definitely give them a good beating later!"

Saying this, Wang Xianmao glared at the two.

"Hahaha, enough, Xianmao, don't be so serious—go on, go on."
