199: Grass-Character Sword Technique; Bonus Reward: One Chaos Essence Bone!

Shen Nian looked at the white-robed woman in front of him, his expression calm.

He initially thought that she just wanted to hitch a ride back to the Upper Realm. After all, as a reincarnator, she should have her own path to follow, not to mention she had a cheat.

But after she followed him to the Shen Family, he had planned to find time to ask her, only to encounter this situation.

As for whether this Daughter of Destiny would be taken as a Disciple, that was another matter. Shen Nian would not actively fawn over her, begging her to be his Junior Sister; this point had never changed.

Of course, the most important thing was that Shen Nian also discovered Jiang Churan's personality. If he were to push her too hard, it would likely be quite a hassle.

“Ah… I…” Jiang Churan showed a hint of embarrassment, at a loss for how to answer him for a moment.

She followed Shen Nian simply because she missed his cooking and because of Sword Mother's request.

“Churan, I have a suggestion.” Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit’s voice rang in her mind.

“Sword Mother, what is it?”

“This child’s Sword Dao Comprehension Ability is terrifyingly fast. Perhaps he is not as simple as I thought…” Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit showed a thoughtful expression, her eyes fixed on the white-robed youth. Even she had never seen such Heaven-Defying Sword Dao Comprehension Ability. If she hadn't witnessed it today, she wouldn't have believed it even if she were beaten to death.

After summarizing, Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit felt that this child had a big problem!

To continue understanding the extent of his Sword Dao Comprehension Ability, if he maintained this speed even in the Dao Integration and Immortal realms, coupled with his Physique, then his future… she made up her mind.

Immediately, she changed her tone and said, “Why don’t you become his Disciple? Firstly, you can legitimately learn the recipes for the dishes you want from him. Secondly, with him in this realm, you will be much safer, even if that woman discovers you again, it won't matter…”

The woman she spoke of was the Jiang Family woman who had always wanted to kill Jiang Churan in her childhood.

“Cooking! That’s right, why didn’t I think of that!” Jiang Churan’s eyes lit up, grasping the key point she wanted to hear.

Shen Nian frowned slightly, seeing her surprised expression.

What on earth is this girl thinking… The next second.

Jiang Churan showed an expectant expression and said, “I… I want to become your Disciple, is that okay?”

“Reason.” Shen Nian spoke softly, but there was still a hint of surprise in his heart. He always felt that this girl’s thoughts were different from his other two Junior Sisters.

“Because I can eat well by following you.” Jiang Churan answered very sincerely. She thought about it and indeed, she had eaten exceptionally well every meal since following Shen Nian, much, much better than the food in Sunset Valley.

“…” Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit was speechless. Although she was a bit displeased when she heard Shen Nian ask for a reason, given Jiang Churan’s talent, and how those Sword Cultivators were fighting over her earlier, even without her fully displaying her talent, what more reason did Shen Nian need? Anyone else would be overjoyed.

However, upon thinking about his Sword Dao Comprehension Ability and his Chaos Body, she felt much more at ease.

Shen Nian looked at Jiang Churan in surprise, and seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help but chuckle.

“If it’s just for that reason…”

“It’s not enough.” Shen Nian directly refused. Although he didn’t dislike Jiang Churan, he wasn't just taking Junior Sisters randomly. After all, he considered himself a responsible Senior Brother, and even if the Junior Sister was a Daughter of Destiny, he would do what he had to do.

“Ah!”

“Sword Mother, I was rejected!”

Jiang Churan showed a hint of disappointment. This was the first time she had felt rejected. In her previous life, she had been eagerly sought after by numerous Immortal realm existences.

“Uh…” Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit also didn’t expect this, and she gave Shen Nian a deep look.

However, Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit didn't expect Jiang Churan to be so proactive; even she showed a look of shock.

Is this still the Jiang Churan I know?

“Actually, I learn things very quickly. If you teach me to cook, I can cook for you too, and I also learn swordsmanship very quickly…” Jiang Churan said very seriously, her gaze fixed on Shen Nian.

In fact, she felt a little lost. For some reason, she felt that missing the white-robed man in front of her would be the greatest regret of her life.

This feeling was extremely strong, especially after being rejected by Shen Nian.

It was an inexplicable feeling, one she hadn't even told Sword Mother about.

“Really!”

“As long as I join, I’ll listen to everything you say, believe me!” Jiang Churan couldn't help but take a step forward.

Shen Nian looked at her with some surprise. He hadn't expected this woman, whose mind was only on food, to beg him so much.

“Please, won’t you…?” Jiang Churan stared at Shen Nian with wide eyes, her tone a bit coquettish.

This even moved Shen Nian a little. This was the first time he had encountered someone acting coquettishly with him. Of course, if Jiang Churan hadn't been exceptionally beautiful, if she hadn't been a Daughter of Destiny, and if Shen Nian hadn't felt no dislike towards her, he would have slapped her already.

Meanwhile, Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit in Jiang Churan's mind was bewildered.

No…!

You can beg people?!

Through so many years, past and present lives, why haven't I seen you like this?

Back then, when this venerable one recognized you as master, weren't you still carefree?

Are you kidding me?!

I am an Ancient Realm Sword Spirit!

What makes him so special?!

But Shen Nian looked up at her aggrieved expression, feeling a bit helpless, and after thinking, said, “I can give you one chance…”

“Good!”

“It’s a deal!”

“From now on, you’re my Senior Brother!” Jiang Churan immediately exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling. Finally, she could learn those dishes.

“You first listen to me…” Shen Nian had just opened his mouth when he heard the System chime in his mind.

[Ding, Host has successfully taken in the Daughter of Destiny, Jiang Churan. Reward: 100 preaching value. Additional reward: Immortal Emperor-level Sword Dao Divine Ability: Grass Character Sword Art; Additional reward: One piece of Chaos Essence Bone]

Boom!

Next to his heart, which was covered by the chaos bone, another silver bone appeared, raising his blood Qi power by another level, and silver runes flickered in his eyes.

Shen Nian was still thinking of testing Jiang Churan, but there was no way, the System gave too much… What he needed now was to quickly increase his strength, and he wasn't planning to just kill a few royal beasts in the Abyss and be done with it.

And his extremely subtle movement was still captured by Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit.

“The Innate Chaos Qi is denser…”

“What is this kid’s background…” Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit looked at Shen Nian incredulously.

Shen Nian stood up, suppressed the surging Chaos Qi within him, and then said, “Since you call me Senior Brother, then from today on, you are the fourth Disciple of my Ninth Mountain. Let me say the unpleasant things first, my requirements are very high.”

“Okay!” Jiang Churan nodded, her eyes calculating when to ask to learn those dishes.

“Heh, no matter how high the requirements, as long as you work hard, you can achieve them.” Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit chuckled, of course, the premise was that he had to make Jiang Churan work hard.

She hadn't been able to do that for so many years, so it was clear Shen Nian couldn't either.

Thinking of this, Nine Tribulations Sword Spirit actually wanted to see Shen Nian's helpless expression.

“How about this, I see you’re at the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation stage. It shouldn’t be a problem to enter the Void Return realm within seven days, right?” Shen Nian thought for a moment and said.

“Mhm mhm mhm!” Jiang Churan nodded repeatedly, her face showing no ripples.
