Chapter 7: The Large Nishang Xianzi (Second Update)

This joy is a fondness for beautiful things, a love for art.

Compared to the slovenly and unpresentable Qiong Laoguai, the other two graceful figures were lithe and elegant; the older woman, in a moon-white palace dress, was full of charm and allure, her peach-blossom eyes brimming with affection, making it impossible for one to look away.

Although the other one wore a veil to cover her beautiful face, her cold and aloof temperament was still eye-catching, yet one dared not look directly at her, fearing to profane or disturb the beauty.

The identities of the two women were self-evident; the former was Nishang Xianzi, and the latter was Nangong Wan.

"Junior Xuan Ye, along with family disciple Yan Taibai, pays respects to Senior Qiong, Senior Nangong, and Senior Nishang." Mr. Xuan Ye's respectful greeting awakened Yan Taibai from his awe of the beautiful sights, and he hurriedly followed suit, bowing and speaking respectfully.

"Yan Family disciple Yan Taibai pays respects to Senior Qiong, Senior Nangong, and Senior Nishang."

Although he was not very willing to speak in a childish, milky voice, Yan Taibai could not control such things, and this voice happened to be the kind women loved most.

"What a cute and delightful little one, come here to Big Sister, Big Sister has candy beans for you to eat!"

Compared to Nangong Wan, whose beautiful eyes merely held a hint of fondness while she remained indifferent, the charming Nishang Xianzi was practically "overflowing with maternal love," her peach-blossom eyes sparkling as she waved to greet Yan Taibai.

Her soft, sweet voice seemed to possess endless magic, making it impossible for anyone to refuse in the slightest.

At the very least, Yan Taibai was dazed for a moment, his little face flushed with joy, and he eagerly trotted toward Nishang Xianzi on his short little legs.

In the blink of an eye, he threw himself into her embrace, burying his little head directly into her large, firm bosom, and called out in a milky voice, "Fairy Big Sister is so beautiful," causing Nishang Xianzi's cheeks to flush as she giggled incessantly.

Seeing this scene, a flash of amusement crossed Mr. Xuan Ye's eyes.

He was very clear that Yan Taibai could not be viewed as a child of the same age, but he had no intention of exposing him.

Because Qiong Laoguai began to speak.

"I have long heard that Yan Family Fortress has a strategist named Mr. Xuan Ye. Even that brat Yan Moyun follows his every word; he is truly one person below ten thousand in the entire Yan Family Fortress. Seeing it now, it is indeed true; hearing of someone is not as good as meeting them. Why didn't that brat Yan Moyun come? Could it be he is still holding a grudge over what happened back then? How narrow-minded; it's a pity I came specifically to take this little one as a disciple and pass on my mantle. It seems that is unnecessary now."

"Many thanks for the undeserved praise, Senior; this junior does not dare accept it. The Ancestor has matters to attend to and is unable to receive the three Seniors; I hope the three Seniors will forgive him. If there are any instructions, please feel free to command Xuan Ye."

Hearing this, Mr. Xuan Ye did not mind, and he replied with a respectful bow.

"As for taking Taibai as a disciple, Taibai has not yet formally begun cultivation, so it is unclear if he is suitable to be Senior Qiong's disciple; therefore, the Ancestor has ordered that there is no need to rush for now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qiong Laoguai's expression changed instantly, and he snorted coldly.

"What do you mean no need to rush? Do you know how precious a Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root is? The entire Yue Country hasn't seen one in thousands of years; it is the most suitable for my legacy techniques and divine abilities. Tell that brat Yan Moyun that I have decided to take this little one; if he dares to disagree, I will tear down his Yan Family Fortress. I'll leave your entire Yan family with no house to live in."

The tone was full of threats, yet it sounded quite amusing to the ear.

"Senior Uncle Qiong, stop scaring this Mr. Xuan Ye. Has this little one already chosen a sect?"

Nishang Xianzi held Yan Taibai in her arms, pursed her lips, and smiled as she asked about the real business.

Meanwhile, Yan Taibai was marveling in his heart at Nishang Xianzi's largeness.

It was just a pity that his own frame was too small right now.

"Fairy Big Sister, the Ancestor and Mr. Xuan Ye have let Taibai choose the Yanyue Sect. After I enter the sect, can Fairy Big Sister personally teach and guide Taibai in the path of cultivation?"

Under Mr. Xuan Ye's suggestive gaze, Yan Taibai answered this question in a milky voice.

This made the look of affection and joy on Nishang Xianzi's cheeks grow even more intense; without hesitation, she nodded her head, and her slender, jade-like fingers even stroked Yan Taibai's little head as she agreed.

"Of course you can. When the time comes, you can just come to my cave dwelling to cultivate. After all, Senior Uncle Qiong is often not in the sect, and I fear he won't have time to guide your cultivation."

"Mm-hmm! Thank you, Fairy Big Sister."

Having achieved his wish, Yan Taibai was naturally overjoyed, his little head nodding like a chick pecking at rice as he thanked her repeatedly.

Girls, after all, no matter what age they are, calling them "Big Sister" is never wrong.

But remember, never call them "Oldest Sister"!

Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.

"How about you come back to the sect with me now to cultivate? It will be easier for me to guide and take care of you."

Hearing the words "Fairy Big Sister," Nishang Xianzi grew even more fond of Yan Taibai, who possessed a scholarly air despite his young age, and she could not put him down.

She even disregarded the rules of the Yanyue Sect.

Of course, that wasn't entirely true; these rules mainly depended on who it was.

For a disciple with a Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root, such rules really didn't count for much.

Furthermore, the sooner she took Yan Taibai away from Yan Family Fortress, the less emotional attachment the latter would have to the Yan Family Fortress.

Before coming, they had already inquired clearly about Yan Taibai's status; apart from that thin blood relation that could be ignored, Yan Taibai had almost no relationship with the Yan Family Ancestor.

His parents had even perished while carrying out a mission for Yan Family Fortress.

Although Yan Family Fortress had provided sufficient compensation, this compensation was nothing compared to the lives of his biological parents.

Therefore, naturally, the sooner the better.

But how could Mr. Xuan Ye not guess Nishang Xianzi's thoughts and intentions? He hurriedly spoke to dissuade her.

"Senior Nishang, Taibai has not yet formally begun immortal cultivation, and furthermore, the Ancestor would not agree to Taibai leaving the family so early, so I hope Senior will forgive us."

"If Yan Moyun disagrees, let him come find me. I think it's best to take this little one now, so as to avoid any deep entanglements with your Yan family. Originally, this little one had nothing to do with your Yan family anyway."

Qiong Laoguai curled his lips and sneered.

Only he could say such things; Nangong Wan and Nishang Xianzi dared not, as if they said it, it would be almost equivalent to tearing off the mask of civility.

Once these words were spoken, the smile on Mr. Xuan Ye's face stiffened for a moment, but it immediately returned to normal, and he explained without losing his smile.

"Senior Qiong is joking. Taibai is, after all, a disciple of our Yan family, and he has a marriage contract with the granddaughter who has yet to be born; how can you say he has nothing to do with our Yan family?"

High-level immortal cultivators can use their divine sense to probe whether a fetus in a pregnant woman's womb is male or female.

And once Mr. Xuan Ye said this, let alone Qiong Laoguai, Nangong Wan, and Nishang Xianzi, even Yan Taibai was shocked, his little face filled with a look of shock and complexity.

What the hell is this! Yan Ruyan is already his fiancée before she's even born?

Isn't this a joke?
