Chapter 1995

Yin Susu did not think herself special.

"Of course it's possible."

Just then, a gentle voice sounded, and a youth as refined as jade had already appeared among them.

Ichijō Nijika looked over and suddenly felt her heart beat faster, a faint blush crossing her pale cheeks.

Brother Taixuan really is incredibly good-looking.

Ichijō Nijika suddenly realized she had fallen in love.

The others felt the same, especially Azhu, who stared without blinking.

Yin Susu was deeply puzzled: "Having met the Dao Lord, does the Dao Lord mean…?"

"Those with affinity may naturally be saved," Zhang Taixuan smiled. "Affinity is quite miraculous."

As for strangers, he had no such patience—of course, he respected their destinies.

After all, the living beings of countless worlds were too numerous, and he was not a being who had made grand vows to relieve suffering; there was no need to do such things.

"Affinity?"

Everyone suddenly understood.

Though they did not know how immortals viewed affinity, thinking of themselves, they could grasp its subtlety.

Even they themselves, when encountering someone in crisis, would decide whether to save them based on the person.

Those bound to them would naturally come first on the list of those to be saved.

"Brother Taixuan actually came over!"

Ichijō Nijika murmured in awe, "How rare— I never thought I'd meet Brother Taixuan!"

"What's rare?" Zhang Taixuan laughed. "If you'd invited me, we'd have met long ago!"

Su Xiao smiled: "You forgot, Nijika—Brother Taixuan adores beautiful girls! You're his anime wife!"

Ichijō Nijika turned bright red: "What anime wife? I have no idea what Little Miss is talking about."

Yamada Ryo watched Ichijō Nijika's expression with curious eyes, scanning her carefully.

Something's up!

This Nijika is nothing like the one in the band!

This Nijika is clearly a girl in love from a drama.

Thinking this, Yamada Ryo's curiosity flared.

Even Gotō Ichirī noticed the difference and felt a flicker of curiosity.

Ichijō Hoshika sniffed softly and whispered to her sister's ear: "Nijika, still saying you're not drawn to beauty? Hehe, now you won't say that anymore, will you?"

"I don't understand what Sister is saying!"

Ichijō Nijika sniffed, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear with her jade-like fingers, feigning calmness.

Yet inside, she thought— if it's mutual affection, how can that be called being drawn to beauty?

"Brother Taixuan, I'm Azhu…"

As she thought this, a girl in purple clothing stepped up to Zhang Taixuan.

The girl smiled brightly, her figure statuesque; even as a woman, Ichijō Nijika found her stunning and felt a pang of urgency.

"Azhu? I know you well," Zhang Taixuan chuckled. "By the way, when I came, another Azhu and Yuyan asked me to bring you some good things!"

With a thought, a pile of spiritual fruits appeared before Mu Wanqing and the others.

"These spiritual fruits were gathered by Yuyan and the others in other worlds. Though inferior to those of the Taixuan Realm, they're more than enough for you."

Wang Yuyan was stunned: "Another me?"

Zhang Taixuan nodded: "Yes."

He turned to Yin Susu and the others, thought once more, and produced tray after tray of spiritual fruits, placing them on the table.

"Today's gathering is rare—enjoy these freely, as a token of the affinity between us."

Shang Xiuxun and Yin Susu were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Dao Lord."

Yamada Ryo echoed: "Thank you, Dao Lord Brother!"

This man who had suddenly appeared and was so revered by all was clearly the leader.

Though Yamada Ryo did not know his abilities, she knew he was a deity far beyond Nijika's level—a being she must handle with care.

·· ········Request flowers·· ·

How could anything he pull out be anything but extraordinary?

After tasting these fruits, Yamada Ryo became even more certain of her judgment.

So powerful.

Just an ordinary fruit filled her with a sense of ethereal transcendence, as if her entire being had become transparent from within to without.

"These spiritual fruits have such strong spiritual power," Ichijō Nijika exclaimed. "I feel I'll need to enter seclusion for a long time after returning to assimilate their energy!"

Su Xiao laughed: "This is nothing—these are just ordinary spiritual fruits from an ordinary world. The ones from the Taixuan Realm are truly incredible!"

Of course, such fruits are now exceedingly rare.

The Taixuan Realm, as an eternal true realm, holds things of value beyond imagination; though unimportant to Zhang Taixuan, no one in the group ever mentioned them.

One must know one's place.

To become an immortal or sage is already a tremendous blessing.

If one grows greedy and offends the Dao Lord, one will suffer greatly.

Those who remain in the chat group without being targeted are all shrewd—how could they not understand this?

Yamada Ryo, Ichijō Hoshika, and the others did not know the mysteries of the Taixuan Realm.

But thinking of what Su Xiaoxiao had said, a longing rose unbidden in his heart.

If even ordinary spirit fruits were this wondrous, then how marvelous must be the spirit fruits of the Taixu Realm that people praised so highly?

Just as he was thinking, a boom rang out, the night brightened, and a beautiful firework exploded in the sky.

The Mongols had invaded from the south for many years, and Xiang Yang City had fallen into utter desolation.

Now that the great enemy was gone and the world had returned to peace, the city's common folk and merchants were overjoyed, and together they had made many fireworks to celebrate.

"Can ancient fireworks really be this beautiful?"

Everyone found it wondrous; Yotsuya Hoshika even took out a camera and began recording.

At this moment, she did not notice that her younger sister had already sidled up beside Zhang Taixuan, her expression a mix of shyness and boldness.

"Brother Taixuan, can I go to the Taixu Realm to play?"

Her voice was soft and carried a hint of anxiety, as if afraid he would refuse.

Zhang Taixuan reached out, took Nika's slender hand, and said, "Of course you can."

Yotsuya Nika felt her heart pound faster than ever before; the restless, anxious mood within her calmed, and a sweet smile bloomed on her cheeks. Like an angel, she naturally nestled into his embrace.
