Chapter 81: Iron-Blooded Emperor Senior Brother, Heaven's Proud Daughter Senior Sister

Ye Batian???

This name...

Heng Xian's spirit lifted. Is it a coincidence, or have I encountered another Son of Heaven's Choice?

Without waiting for the senior brother and senior sister to appear, he simply walked out on his own.

Just as he arrived in the courtyard, he saw a pair of man and woman walking over from left and right.

The man was carrying a hoe, looking about twenty-four or twenty-five, dark, short, and fat, with lips like sausages.

The woman looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven, with a flat chest, a thin build, a face full of freckles, and was holding needlework.

The two looked at him, their expressions cautious, with honest smiles on their faces.

Heng Xian was a little disappointed. Although one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, the two completely lacked the aura of a Son of Heaven's Choice!

He simply cupped his fists at the young man: "This must be Senior Brother Ye Batian. Please take care of me in the future!"

The short, fat young man was stunned for a moment.

Only to hear the woman behind him say with a smile: "Junior Brother, I am Ye Batian!"

The short, fat young man also smiled: "I am Ma Xiaohua!"

This terrible name really left one speechless!

Heng Xian nodded: "I am Heng Xian!"

"Hello, Junior Brother Heng!" The two also nodded, a trace of pity slowly appearing in their eyes, and then they turned and left.

Pity?

Heng Xian had nothing to do, so he moved that stool out of the room, sat at the door, and looked around.

The sky was high and blue, the surrounding peaks were handsome, mountain streams splashed, and the air was incredibly fresh.

The nearby peak... was bare, monotonous, destitute, and desolate.

"Bitter Willow Peak, Bitter Willow Peak, it really is damn bitter!"

Heng Xian got up and strolled around. First, he checked on Senior Sister Ye Batian in the west room and found that she was actually sewing shoe soles in the next room!!!

Seeing the junior brother coming over, Ye Batian smiled awkwardly: "Ah, Junior Brother is bored, right?"

"It's okay!" Heng Xian carefully examined the shoes she was sewing. "Could there be something special about these shoes? Are they spiritual artifacts?"

Ye Batian was silent for a moment: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Heng Xian said: "How about... you tell the lie first?"

Ye Batian nodded: "Sewing shoes is just a minor path. Senior Sister is mainly doing it to cultivate and temper her character! It is said that ten thousand days of cultivation are not as good as sewing ten thousand shoes!"

"And the truth?" Heng Xian asked.

Ye Batian sighed leisurely: "This is private work Master took from other peaks. The processing fee for a pair of spiritual boots is one medium-quality spirit crystal!

At the end of the month, there is an income of thirty or forty medium-quality spirit crystals. Besides subsidizing household expenses, the rest is given to Master to buy wine!"

Heng Xian scratched his chin and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of this Master?"

Ye Batian also said in a low voice: "It is said that Master used to be very good, very well-behaved, with extremely high talent, and as beautiful as a fairy!

Later, she fell in love with a handsome guy from another sect and was abandoned by that guy.

As a result, Master gave up on herself, started drinking and gambling wildly, and even looked for male pets to massage her when she had nothing to do.

She spent money like water, only..."

"Only what?" Heng Xian was surprised.

Ye Batian sighed: "Only these are all things Master said herself. After many discussions between Junior Brother Xiaohua and me,

We suspect that Master is lying. That story about the handsome guy abandoning her was made up by her to cover up her own low-class character."

"Makes sense!" Heng Xian nodded.

Coming out of the west room, Heng Xian went to the east room. The room was very empty, with only a broken bed and a few bundles; no one was there.

He turned around and went behind the house.

He saw Ma Xiaohua hoeing the ground in a sparse medicinal field on a vacant hill not far away, with a palm-sized local dog lying next to him, sticking out its tongue and staring at ants.

What a picture of farm labor.

Heng Xian walked over.

Ma Xiaohua looked over from a distance and grinned: "Junior Brother, are you okay now?"

"It's hard for me to have any trouble!" Heng Xian looked at the sparse medicinal field: "These few small seedlings are living too hard!"

Ma Xiaohua chuckled: "Mainly because Master is addicted to alcohol. Every time they don't grow, she plucks them and sells them!

Actually, Junior Brother, don't look at how the whole peak is bald now. When Senior Brother came ten years ago, it was still green with mountains and water,

with fields of medicinal herbs, spiritual trees one after another, and seven or eight immortal cranes and more than a dozen immortal monkeys."

"And then?" Heng Xian asked.

Ma Xiaohua sighed: "Master likes to gamble, and she's a bad loser. She lost a lot of money and had to use things as collateral. After mortgaging this and that, it became like this!"

Saying this, he skillfully hoed again.

Heng Xian praised: "Senior Brother is a good hand at farm work!"

When Ma Xiaohua heard this, his eyes turned red: "Junior Brother, to tell you the truth, I used to be Feng Wuji, the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire!

I had three thousand beauties in the harem, the Empress was as beautiful as a fairy, my wrist was iron-blooded, I was capable of both literature and martial arts, and I governed the country in an orderly manner when I was in my teens.

The ministers gave me the title of Invincible Heaven-Shaking Overlord, Sage Monarch of Literary and Martial Virtue!

Later, I got tired of power, so I abdicated and entered the Tianyuan Sect to cultivate. As a result, Master said I had too much water in my Five Elements, so she reduced two drops of water and gave me the name Ma Xiaohua... sigh!"

Heng Xian sighed: "Cultivating from an emperor to a farmer, that really is a qualitative leap!"

"Yeah!" Ma Xiaohua nodded and said again: "Senior Sister Ye Batian is even worse! She was originally the direct eldest daughter of the Ye Clan royal family of the Northern Territory for seventy thousand years!

Her Highness the Grand Princess, originally named Ye Feiyan, had an Ice Spirit Root talent, a heaven's proud daughter, but after entering the Tianyuan Sect and following Master, she has been sewing shoe soles for many years!"

The two chatted for a while longer.

Heng Xian turned and walked back.

When he reached the small house, he sat back on the stool and thought, I have to find a way to change my way of life. What's the point of this?

Just then, a young man flew over on a sword from afar, landed in the courtyard, holding a set of clothes in his hand, covering his nose with a look of disgust: "Who is Heng Xian?"

Heng Xian was surprised: "Something up?"

The young man put the clothes aside: "These are the true transmission disciple robes, identity jade token, and identity jade slip.

They are free of charge, but adding the Bitter Willow Peak logo requires an additional processing fee.

Elder Nangong ran up a tab, and the debtor is you. It's a total of fifty-nine medium-quality spirit crystals. Remember to pay it back in two months; you'll be responsible for the consequences if it's overdue!"

After saying this, he flew away on his sword.

"What did she do with my money?" Heng Xian couldn't help but curse.

At this time, Senior Sister Ye Batian rushed out, and Senior Brother Ma Xiaohua also returned from farm work.

Ma Xiaohua sighed leisurely: "Master is either drinking or looking for a male pet to massage her right now.

You have to learn to get used to it. My Imperial Jade Seal is still being held by Master at the Merit Hall!"

Ye Batian also said: "My clothes were all pawned by Master to the Clothing Hall!"

Heng Xian took a deep breath, picked up the purple-edged white gauze true transmission disciple robe, the true transmission disciple jade token, and the true transmission disciple jade slip, put them into his storage bag, and asked: "This is completely looking for abuse. Have you two ever thought about rebelling and running to other peaks?"

Ma Xiaohua looked dull: "Master is very scary, we can't run!"

Ye Batian also said: "Master is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and she has a bad temper recently. Junior Brother, don't mention rebelling for now, let's talk about it another day."

"Fine!" Heng Xian touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten a proper meal in over a month of traveling. "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, where do we eat?"

Ma Xiaohua looked surprised: "Eat? We don't have anything to eat here.

You've reached the Qi Hai Realm, right? Let's just drink the northwest wind together and practice Inedia!"

Heng Xian: "..."

Ye Batian thought for a moment: "Not good, not good. Junior Brother is here for the first time today, we have to treat him to a meal no matter what!"

Ma Xiaohua was stunned for a moment: "Then... let's go eat a feast!"
