99: Chapter 99 I'll Always Surpass You

Little Moon was someone Ye Xuan had worked hard for several days to build favor with, while this Lin Qingzhu before him was only a first meeting.

Is this the power of the "love at first sight" luck?

"Following the usual tropes, I suspect she might be the female lead in 'The Pill Emperor', but why didn't the information mention that?"

Ye Xuan couldn't help but think of Jun Ze, who had been beaten into a serious injury; he would likely be possessed by the Pill Emperor's remnant soul and turn into Xinghe.

"Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan looks so good, just like an immortal."

Since arriving at Sword Immortal Peak, the usually cold and aloof Lin Qingzhu revealed the demeanor of a young girl, a faint blush appearing on her serene, pretty face: "It would be great if Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan were my senior brother."

"Qingzhu, what are you saying? Senior brother is my and Master's Pretty Boy, you aren't allowed to snatch him!"

Little Moon instantly became vigilant, hugging Ye Xuan all of a sudden to prevent Lin Qingzhu from having contact with her senior brother.

"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment, Qingzhu." Ye Xuan suppressed the joy in his heart and said with feigned displeasure: "Little Moon, what are you doing? Have you lost respect for your senior brother now? Why are you learning from Master and calling your senior brother a Pretty Boy? Tell me, are you asking for a spanking?" Ye Xuan pinched Little Moon's small face, putting on a fierce expression.

"Hmph, senior brother is excessive. You're the one who gave me the name Little Moon, so why can't I call you a Pretty Boy?"

It was currently the Si hour of the morning, and the sun did not yet seem too scorching.

On Sword Immortal Peak, a cool breeze blew, and in the center of the Immortal Lake, three beautiful figures were gathered.

"You two have such a good relationship."

Lin Qingzhu looked enviously at Ye Xuan's departing figure, reluctant to withdraw her gaze for a long time.

"Of course, senior brother is someone I brought back to Sword Immortal Peak." Little Moon patted her chest without blushing or skipping a beat.

Lin Qingzhu was even more envious: "So that's how it is. Junior Martial Uncle Qingluan is truly lucky."

Because Lin Qingzhu was here, Ye Xuan couldn't easily discipline Little Moon, so he just glared at her and then laid back on the lawn, gazing at the white clouds in the sky.

From time to time, Ye Xuan would say something astonishing, making the two of them cover their mouths and laugh uncontrollably.

"Alright, Little Moon, why don't you take Junior Niece Qingzhu to play around Sword Immortal Peak for a while? Senior brother needs to go to the Endless Purgatory to visit a friend, and afterwards, I need to go to the Cangbing Pavilion to select the rewards for winning the Inner Sect Competition."

The scorching sun was high in the sky; it was now the noon hour. Ye Xuan stood up from the lawn, brushed the dust off his body, and said to Little Moon and Lin Qingzhu.

"Then senior brother, you must come back quickly."

Hearing this, Little Moon let go of Ye Xuan's arm and said nonchalantly.

"Is Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan going to the Cangbing Pavilion? Qingzhu is very familiar with that place. Would you like this junior niece to lead the way?"

A trace of craftiness flashed in Lin Qingzhu's beautiful eyes. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to be alone with Ye Xuan, she stepped forward and blinked her pretty eyes: "Hmph!"

A cold harrumph escaped from Little Moon's small mouth. Seeing Lin Qingzhu pestering her senior brother, she immediately grabbed Ye Xuan's left hand again: "Senior brother, I want to go too!"

Although Little Moon was innocent, she wasn't stupid. She didn't want her Pretty Boy senior brother to be snatched away by Lin Qingzhu.

Lin Qingzhu's gaze gave rise to a sense of crisis in Little Moon's heart. In the past, this junior niece had never shown such an expression to any man, but now, her eyes hadn't moved away from Ye Xuan.

"Since Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan is also going, that's perfect. Why don't we go together?" Lin Qingzhu knew exactly what Little Moon was thinking, but she said it without caring in the slightest.

"Alright then, let's go."

Ye Xuan whistled towards a high peak on Sword Immortal Peak, and the immortal crane, Little Nine, immediately flew down.

"Wow, a fourth-rank spirit crane! Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, where did you tame it?"

A fourth-rank demonic beast was comparable to a powerhouse in the Heaven Profound Realm. Even among the Inner Sect elders, only a very few could obtain one.

"Let's go, get on."

Ye Xuan stroked Little Nine's head and explained with a smile: "Back when I was in the Inner Sect, I saved Little Nine when it was young..."

"So that's how it is. Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan is truly lucky." Lin Qingzhu looked at the Junior Martial Uncle beside her, who resembled a banished immortal, and tiny stars faintly appeared in her cold, clear pupils.

"Don't mention it. Back then, I gave a lot of resources to Little Nine, and only now has it grown into a fourth-rank demonic beast."

Ye Xuan couldn't help but recall that period. After his Imperfect Body awakened, no matter how he cultivated for a day, it wasn't as good as someone else's one hour of cultivation. In the end, having no other choice, he could only feed a large amount of resources to Little Nine.

"Um, Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, can you take Qingzhu out to play often in the future?"

"Of course you can, even if it's outside the Shenxuan Continent." Ye Xuan replied, and then he took the two beauties onto Little Nine's back.

Since coming to the Inner Sect, Ye Xuan had rarely called for Little Nine because it was simply too flashy. Without sufficient strength, riding a fourth-rank demonic beast was very likely to attract hatred.

His younger sister, Feng Xueni, was still in the Phoenix Sacred Land in the Northern Wilderness Region. The center of that area seemed to be called the Beixuan Continent. If the timing was right later on, he could go over and visit Xueni.

Heading further north would lead to the Nangong Clan of Huizhou; that old monster surely had some leeks that could be harvested.

Furthermore, there was the Ancient Continent of the Northern Wilderness Region. Previously, in the Great Qin Dynasty, Ye Xuan had promised the young Empress Mi Qianxi that he would obtain the 'Divine Luck Deification Art' of the Xuanyuan Imperial Dynasty for her.

"Qingzhu thanks you, Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan." After receiving the promise, Lin Qingzhu revealed a heartfelt smile and unconsciously leaned against Ye Xuan's right side, savoring this moment of warmth.

However, what Lin Qingzhu didn't know was that at this moment, another pair of eyes was staring fixedly at her, revealing a hint of anger.

"Hmph, Junior Niece Lin, stay a bit further away from senior brother. As a junior, how can you break the rules?"

Little Moon looked at the two of them with puffed-out cheeks, her hands on her hips.

"Oh, Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan doesn't mind, and besides, Junior Martial Uncle Little Moon, you can lean on his left side." Hearing this, Lin Qingzhu didn't get angry and responded nonchalantly.

"Hmph!"

Little Moon was momentarily speechless, and with puffed-out cheeks, she hugged Ye Xuan's left hand and leaned her entire body against him.

However, she didn't realize her own advantage; her full figure made Ye Xuan feel a headache coming on. Feeling the softness on his left, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Qingzhu, on the other hand, did not have the advantage in terms of figure and did not take the initiative to hug Ye Xuan's arm. She leaned against Ye Xuan's right side, and the elegant aura surrounding her was unforgettable.

"Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, Qingzhu will surpass you one day. Don't be too happy too early!" Finally, under Little Moon's provocative gaze, Lin Qingzhu broke her composure and added a harsh remark.

"Junior Niece Qingzhu, as long as you don't snatch away my Pretty Boy senior brother, our boat of friendship won't capsize. Otherwise, you shouldn't come to Sword Immortal Peak in the future!"

"Pfft..."

Lin Qingzhu almost couldn't hold back her laughter. "Alright then, in the future, I won't come to Sword Immortal Peak to find Junior Martial Uncle Little Moon. I'll just come to find Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan instead."
