Yaochi Goddess Zhao Linger

Yaochi Immortal Palace, located on the Eternal Immortal Mountain in the Eternal Immortal Domain, governs millions of miles of Immortal Realm mountains and rivers.

The Immortal Palace only accepts female Disciples, similar to Hundred Flowers Holy Land.

Looking down from the sky, the Yaochi Immortal Palace had an overall pure white and holy color, with many female Disciples riding Immortal Cranes soaring between heaven and earth.

The Immortal Palace was built above the clouds, with colorful palaces, densely arranged, and teal glazed tiles shining brightly under the sun's rays.

Xin Xi sat in the main hall of the Immortal Palace, dressed in a flowing, solemn, and majestic treasure robe imbued with Immortal Qi. Her hair was coiled up, adorned with golden hairpins and jade pendants, and a touch of light makeup made her appear noble and elegant.

The reverence and gentleness she displayed in front of Xiao Fan had completely vanished, replaced by placid beautiful eyes and a naturally emanating oppressive Aura, as if her mere presence there was akin to the will of Heaven.

She sat on the throne, languid and at ease, her light purple Immortal rhyme Colorful skirt highlighting her perfect figure even further; simply sitting there, she was the Incarnation of beauty.

A layer of hazy gauze, surrounded by treasure light, separated her from the outside world, making it as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary people to see her true appearance.

Within the grand hall, it was serene and quiet. Below the throne stood two rows of Female Elders, one on each side, all exceptionally respectful, as if performing a pilgrimage.

"Where is my elder sister? Why hasn't she returned yet?" Xin Xi spoke softly, her voice clear yet authoritative, with an inherent sense of superiority.

Below the main hall, a Female Elder immediately stepped forward and respectfully said,

"The Palace Revered Master sent word a few days ago, saying that the war with the Demon Race is nearing its end, with a great victory, and she will be back within three months."

"Three months, huh?" Xin Xi murmured to herself, deep in thought.

Xin Xi then asked, "During my absence, has anything major happened in the Immortal Palace?"

Everyone below the throne exchanged glances and replied, "Nothing major has happened."

"However, the Goddess of Yaochi advanced to Golden Immortal three years ago and is currently undergoing the Legacy you arranged for her. She should be close to completing it and emerging."

"Ling'er? I'm still a bit unaccustomed to that little one not being around," Xin Xi chuckled, a young girl's image appearing in her mind.

"Alright, you may withdraw."

"Yes."

...

On the other side, in a pure white Immortal Cave.

A young girl yawned and stretched, her tender, pretty face etched with weariness.

"Sigh, Revered Master Yu Yue isn't in the Palace, and Revered Master Xin Xi went somewhere unknown. All they do is assign me cultivation tasks and never take me out to play. How annoying!" Zhao Linger complained with a resentful expression.

Zhao Linger was the Disciple of Xin Xi and Yu Yue, being groomed as the future Palace Revered Master of the Immortal Palace, as their focus had always been on Xiao Fan.

They also had feelings for Yaochi Immortal Palace, but it was far from comparable to their feelings for Xiao Fan.

Therefore, the best solution was to cultivate a Palace Revered Master to take over their position, which could also be considered a form of responsibility towards the Immortal Palace.

"Revered Master, the Palace Revered Master has returned." A soft, childish voice rang out as a pure white Jade Rabbit rushed into the Immortal Cave, transforming into a delicate porcelain doll-like young girl.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Linger immediately perked up.

"Has Revered Master Yu Yue returned?" Zhao Linger asked excitedly.

Her cunning and lively big eyes sparkled with excitement.

"No, it's the other Palace Revered Master." The Jade Rabbit transformed back into its original form, picked up the last remaining carrot from a bamboo basket in the corner of the Immortal Cave, and happily gnawed on it as if it were a delicacy.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating! You didn't even tell me Revered Master Xin Xi returned sooner!" Zhao Linger scolded, grabbing her ear.

The carrot she was gnawing on dropped to the ground with a snap, breaking into two pieces.

"Revered Master, you've wronged me! I ran over as soon as the Palace Revered Master returned, my paws never stopped!" It looked at the carrot on the ground, its face full of heartache and its voice filled with grievance.

"Alright, alright, it's not your fault." Zhao Linger tried to get a carrot from the bamboo basket to give it but found that they had all been eaten.

"Revered Master, you've long forgotten me. If I didn't go find food myself, I would have starved to death long ago," the little white rabbit said pitifully.

Zhao Linger put it down. Its ruby-like eyes welled up with glistening tears. It carefully wiped away the marks, on the carrot, looking as if it was about to cry.

"It fell on the ground. Wash it clean before eating it," it said softly.

Zhao Linger muttered, "Alright, alright, how about I pick some Immortal Fruits for you?"

"Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"Good! I want to eat a Ten-Thousand-Year Nine-Spirit Ginseng, the kind that's a rare treasure among Immortals."

"You're asking for too much, little rabbit! With your small body, aren't you afraid of bursting if you eat that?" Zhao Linger exclaimed.

"I! Am! Not! Afraid!" It said with certainty.

Zhao Linger shook her head disdainfully, her two dark ponytails swaying. Greedy rabbit, don't you dare start whimpering if you overeat later.

"Let's go. The Immortal Hall has so many Immortal Plants and various Divine Fruits. I'll let you eat your fill."

Zhao Linger, with her petite 1.5-meter frame, dragged the little Jade Rabbit by its long ear. A streak of green rainbow appeared beneath her bare, tiny, exquisite jade feet, and her entire being transformed into a streak of green light, rushing out of the Immortal Cave.

Her destination: Yaochi Immortal Palace.

Meanwhile, in Xin Xi's cultivation Immortal Cave within the Yaochi Immortal Palace, Xiao Fan was currently consuming Medicinal Pills and refining Immortal Qi to advance his cultivation, progressing towards a stronger Demon-Slaying Blade.

Xin Xi treated him exceptionally well, providing him with Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones. He didn't need to put in any effort; he could cultivate in peace, undisturbed by external matters.

It felt like being supported by a rich woman, and yet the rich woman, Xin Xi, regarded him as her Revered Master. It was a very strange feeling.

Xin Xi had prepared Medicinal Pills perfectly suited for his current Realm, with usage instructions, dosages, and the proper sequence for using various Medicinal Pills all clearly marked on a Jade Slip.

Xiao Fan found it somewhat amusing; it was too thoughtful.

The profound mysteries of Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength could negate these things; as long as there were enough Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones, everything else could be ignored.

He also activated the Chronospace Codex, allowing him to cultivate at twenty-four times the normal speed, rapidly increasing his cultivation.

It took him one month, equivalent to two years of cultivation, to enter the Human Immortal Middle Stage.

This speed was quite good.

Not only that, he discovered that his Righteous Qi Constitution and Demonic Physique were intertwining and mixing, and Primal Elephant Micro-Particles also began to intersperse within, making his entire body feel chaotic and developing in an increasingly unfathomable direction.

However, his Physique did not go out of control; it merely became stronger. Knowing it was developing in a good direction, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"The cultivation speed is still too slow. There are so many fruits around this Immortal Hall. I should find a few more kinds to eat and first cultivate all the Primal Elephant Micro-Particles into formation."

Compared to quiet cultivation, the method of simply eating fruits to increase strength was clearly more suitable for Xiao Fan. He was just about to call out Wang Cai to be his guinea pig when...

A crisp, childlike voice, like silver bells, rang out.

"Revered Master Xin Xi, Ling'er has come to see you."

"Hmm? Revered Master Xin Xi?" Xiao Fan paused slightly. Did Xin Xi take a Disciple?

But then he thought, as a Palace Revered Master, it was normal for her to take Disciples for the Legacy of the Yaochi Immortal Palace.

Before he could react, a petite, green figure swiftly approached, rushing into Xin Xi's Immortal Cave without a word and crashing into Xiao Fan's embrace.

Zhao Linger was overjoyed, finally able to see her Revered Master after so long. She absolutely had to make them take her out to play.

"Revered Master, where have you been? You haven't sent Ling'er any messages for so long."

"Ling'er missed you so much, hehe. Revered Master, Ling'er has been cultivating well! You said you'd let me go out for experience once I reached Golden Immortal."

"I'm a Golden Immortal now, so you can't go back on your word, alright?"

Zhao Linger clung tightly to Xiao Fan's back like an octopus, hugging his body from behind, her eyes closed, immersed in the joy of reunion.

Suddenly, Zhao Linger's delicate nose sniffed, sensing something strange.

Her tender voice held a hint of confusion: "Revered Master, why has your scent changed?"

Her hands restlessly crawled, unconsciously reaching the flat area.

"Hmm, Revered Master, why are your breasts smaller? Unlike me, mine have grown recently."

"Holy crap, indecent assault!" Xiao Fan exclaimed.

He looked astonished, swatting away the small, delicate hands on his chest. Damn, was I just groped?

This exclamation made Zhao Linger's mind go blank too.

She was startled and immediately pushed Xiao Fan away, saying with a face full of anger, "Who are you? Why are you in my Revered Master's Immortal Cave?"

Zhao Linger was somewhat furious. She was unprepared because only the two Palace Revered Masters cultivated here in the Yaochi Immortal Hall. As the Goddess of Yaochi, she was only allowed to enter and exit the Yaochi Immortal Hall freely.

Xiao Fan was also fuming. Damn it, she groped me the moment she came in, and now she dares to get angry at me? Does she really think I have no temper?

He turned around, about to vent his anger, but found no one in front of him. He paused, then looked down, only to find a 1.5-meter tall girl-like woman staring at him with a flushed face, her eyes full of fury.

"Quick, tell me, how did you sneak in? Why are you in my Revered Master's room?"

Zhao Linger trembled with rage, her immense Aura making the two ponytails naturally hanging down her back rise up.

"Wait, didn't you barge in first? Don't you know to knock before entering?" Xiao Fan was also amused by her anger. He said, "And your hands were restless and groping around. I seriously suspect you're feigning ignorance to take advantage of me."

"You, you shut up! Who took advantage of you?"

Zhao Linger's face was somewhat unnatural. This was her Revered Master Xin Xi's Immortal Cave, so of course, she immediately assumed the person inside was Revered Master Xin Xi.

Moreover, the Yaochi Immortal Palace was heavily guarded, and the Yaochi Immortal Hall was the core of the Immortal Palace. She never even considered that there would be anyone else inside, let alone a man.

What a sin!

Xiao Fan looked at her amusedly. Her tender face was exquisite, and her puffed-up appearance made her look like an angry little girl, lively yet mischievous.

She was very beautiful, like a loli jumping into reality.

At 1.5 meters tall, she had twin ponytails and wore a vermilion long dress. Her simple attire, with no makeup on her face, revealed the fair and dewy skin of a baby face.

The place she claimed had grown was merely a slightly protruding small mound. If she had children in the future, they would definitely starve.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Zhao Linger paused, then looked down, following his gaze.

Even more enraged, "Damn it, where are you looking?!"

"Where did this little thief come from? Watch me take you down today!" Zhao Linger huffed, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her tender, lotus-root-like arms.

"Little thief? Are you playing the victim first?!"
