Chapter 870: Unification of the Realm, the Two Qiaos of Jiangdong (2/5, begging subscriptions)

Three Kingdoms World.

In three months' time, under Lu Bu's frenzied expansion, the entire realm once again returned to peace.

The great noble clans had no way to resist under the Heavenly Soldiers' blade—whether the private troops they had raised or the armies they controlled, all were scattered by Lu Bu's forces.

Added to that was the pretext of Liu Bian's abdication, so Lu Bu's speed in seizing the realm exceeded everyone's imagination.

Afterwards, contrary to his usual ways, Lu Bu issued many decrees that brought real benefits to the common people.

Even the year-after-year great drought was resolved through the divine ability of summoning clouds and rain.

In an instant, Lu Bu had actually become the one upon whom the Mandate of Heaven rested.

With his fierce martial might and boundless divine abilities, Lu Bu's regime was steady as Taishan; though the great noble clans wished to resist, they simply could not, and could only—

after the Heavenly Soldiers arrived—hand over most of their family resources in exchange for peace.

Though only a few months had passed, the entire realm had taken on a different brilliance.

If the realm before was dead and stagnant, then now it was full of vitality; smiles bloomed on the common people's faces, and their eyes brimmed with hope for the future.

High in the sky, five figures stepped on white clouds, gazing down at the plains below.

"Who would have thought, Lu Bu could actually govern the realm so well?"

Princess Wannian was somewhat astonished. "I read that Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Lu Bu wasn't that clever."

Diao Chan laughed: "Having cultivated the martial Dao, if he still couldn't get it and governed the realm into a complete mess, then I'd have no choice but to beg my husband to take over this realm."

Cai Yan laughed lightly: "Worthy of heroine among women, Sister Diao Chan—still can't forget your mission, to plead the cause of all under heaven!"

"Cai Yan, you're teasing me!" Diao Chan reached out, gently pinching Cai Yan's smiling face, and they began to frolic.

"Speaking of which, we've already sent our family members to the Earth Immortal Realm—aren't we going back yet? What else is there to do?" Princess Wannian suddenly asked.

Cai Yan laughed: "Of course it's to bring my husband a little surprise back.

"A surprise?" Diao Chan was startled. "What is it?"

Cai Yan laughed: "I've long heard the Two Qiaos of Jiangdong are famed as the fairest under heaven. If we could bring them back for my husband, tell me—wouldn't my husband favor us even more?"

Diao Chan and Princess Wannian were stunned.

Never in a million years had they expected Cai Yan to actually do such a thing!

"Cai Yan, have you been possessed by someone? This doesn't seem like something you'd do!" Princess Wannian asked worriedly.

Cai Yan huffed lightly: "What could possibly be wrong with me. Just think—there are only three of us; compared with the sisters from other worlds, we're far too few, of course we need to find helpers. Besides—

for the Two Qiao sisters themselves, this is also a good thing.

"Immortality, eternal youth, and bringing the family to prosperity—isn't that far better than staying in this world and turning to dry bones?"

Wannian and Diao Chan heard this and were instantly left speechless.

You only met the Dao Lord once, and already you've become so eager to curry favor with your husband?

Turning the matter over in their minds, they too were tempted by Cai Yan's proposal.

Wannian chimed in: "Cai Yan, you're right. We really should find a few more people to boost our appeal. Otherwise, when will our husband ever come to our place again?"

Diao Chan: "Mm, I agree too."

Cai Yan laughed: "This is what they call 'the Bronze Sparrow Terrace in deep spring locks away the Two Qiaos.'"

Diao Chan was speechless: "The place we live isn't even called Bronze Sparrow Terrace."

"It's all the same."

Cai Yan hummed lightly, in excellent spirits, and steered the clouds toward Jiangdong.

In a short while, she had found out where the Qiao family lived.

Before they had even descended from the clouds, they heard a melodious, pleasant sound of a qin drifting over.

"What a wonderful qin melody!" Cai Yan laughed. "I didn't expect the two sisters to have such skill. Come, let's go meet the two sisters."

Thus, under the horrified gazes of the crowd, they descended from the clouds.

"Immortals?"

Da Qiao's fingers plucking the qin strings stopped, and she looked toward the three descending figures.

Xiao Qiao was holding a teacup, sipping tea and listening to her sister's qin playing; upon seeing this she nearly dropped the teacup on the ground, her beautiful eyes wide, an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Who are you people?"

Da Qiao was the first to recover and asked aloud.

Cai Yan laughed: "I am the daughter of the Cai family, Cai Yan. I once had the fate to enter the Great Luo Heaven and cultivated an ageless, immortal body. Today, returning to this realm, I have come especially to meet the famed Qiao sisters.

Seeing you today, I find you truly pitiable and lovely."

As she spoke, she walked up close and, like a rogue, lifted Da Qiao's Bai Xi jade-like chin with a finger.

Da Qiao's face reddened and she hurriedly dodged.

She was speechless inside.

How can this woman act like such a local hooligan?

The Cai family?

If she's from the Cai family, shouldn't she be learned and courteous?

...... Begging for flowers.

Diao Chan laughed: "Cai Yan, don't scare our Da Qiao. Let's get to the main point first."

Cai Yan laughed: "Very well. Are the two sisters willing to become immortals?"

"Become immortals?"

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao exchanged a glance and asked in unison.

Cai Yan nodded: "Correct. Today we returned and took our family members to the Earth Immortal Realm, and we also heard of the two sisters' famed beauty, so we came especially to ferry you into the immortal realm. If you are willing to go with us, the Qiao family can also enter the Earth Immortal Realm and become an immortal clan—would that not be wonderful?"

If you are willing to come with us, the Qiao family can also enter the Earth Immortal Realm and become a family of eternal life—would that not be wonderful?"

"The Qiao family can go along too?" Da Qiao exclaimed, very tempted.

Xiao Qiao's dark eyes darted about, her heart eager, wanting to agree, but seeing her elder sister's hesitation, she grew anxious.

"This old man will answer on behalf of my daughter!"

Before Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao could make a decision, a burst of hearty laughter rang out, and a middle-aged man strode over.

"Father, you heard it too?"
