The Heart of a Luck Girl

Dragging Xiao Fan, Zhao Linger pulled him out of Yaochi Immortal Palace and headed towards the city near Yaochi Immortal Palace.

Her face was crestfallen, and she was quite speechless.

"What's going on? Can't you tell me now?" Xiao Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't want to say, I want to drink alcohol," Zhao Linger said glumly.

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Drink alcohol? Do you know how?"

Zhao Linger replied, "No, but I just want to drink."

Seeing her pouting, Xiao Fan was at a loss. Who was it that was so blind as to provoke Zhao Linger?

Arriving at a restaurant, they opened a private room. Zhao Linger slapped the table and said, "Waiter, bring me ten jars of your strongest alcohol."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Hiss!

Xiao Fan gasped, "Can she drink that much?"

...

Three minutes later, Zhao Linger was sprawled on the table, her delicate face flushed with alcohol, her baby-fat cheeks rosy, like a nimble little sprite.

You little lightweight, how dare you slap the table and ask for ten jars of alcohol as soon as you arrived?

Not a single one of the ten jars of alcohol was opened. She barely had three small cups of the strong alcohol from a small flask before she collapsed onto the table.

She even started acting drunk, blowing into the mouth of the flask.

The alcohol flowed down her neck, making her crimson long dress cling to her skin, creating a hazy beauty.

Her breathing was a little rapid, and she was hiccuping.

Hiccup~~

Her nimble beautiful eyes were no longer clear, but filled with mist, about to shed tears.

Hiccup, hiccup~

She hiccuped, a silly smile on her lips, and said to Xiao Fan, "Am I... am I very useless? I can't learn anything."

Xiao Fan said seriously, "Not bad, actually. After all, you don't need to learn anything. It's quite good to be a good-for-nothing."

Hearing this, Zhao Linger froze. Her beautiful eyes, already brimming with tears, whether from anger or amusement, were now even more so.

Zhao Linger gave a bitter smile and said, "Thank you, I feel comforted."

"Indeed, I'm always very good at comforting people."

Zhao Linger said nothing more. She continued to pick up the flask and pour alcohol directly into her mouth. Tears mixed with alcohol flowed down her pretty face, her jade-like skin and swan-like neck appearing as if beautiful jade was being washed by water.

It was unclear how much of the alcohol actually entered her stomach.

But very quickly, her consciousness became muddled, and she buried her head on the table, beginning to sob.

This left Xiao Fan at a loss. "Don't do this; if others see it, they'll think I bullied you."

Zhao Linger said aggrievedly, "I'm useless. I feel like I can't learn anything, and I only make Yu Yue and Master Xinxi worry. In their eyes, I'll always be a child."

"Master Xinxi said I need to Cultivate well and learn how to manage the Immortal Palace, because the Immortal Palace will be handed over to me in the future."

"I can feel that both Revered Masters have high hopes for me, and I've tried hard to learn. I'm most afraid of disappointing my Revered Masters."

"But, besides Cultivating, which I'm okay at, I'm completely clueless about managing the Immortal Palace; I just can't learn it..."

As she spoke, she mocked herself, "No, my Cultivation isn't that great either. I was crushed by you in an overwhelming victory; you can crush me with one hand. I'm too weak."

Xiao Fan, however, didn't think so. He said:

"You can't say that. Besides you, others will also ask you, you're not the weakest."

Zhao Linger froze, looking at him with empty, dazed eyes. Hiccup~

"Hiccup, thank you, you are so good at comforting people."

"It's alright. What exactly is the matter? Perhaps I can help you solve it."

Perhaps having no one to confide in, Zhao Linger didn't worry about Xiao Fan knowing and chose to speak out:

"Two years ago, wasn't there a Disciple recruitment assessment in the Immortal Palace?"

"That time, a peerless Genius female Disciple appeared. Her talent is very strong, and she's also very good at winning people over. Recently, everyone praises her for her strong talent and for being helpful and kind to her fellow Disciples."

"Some even say she's more suitable to be the Goddess of the Immortal Palace than I am, and that she was just born at the wrong time..."

Zhao Linger spoke word by word. She seemed drunk, yet her words were very coherent, not like someone drunk.

As if drunk!

Xiao Fan listened silently.

A Genius Disciple, reaching the Peak upon entry, always encountering Opportunity upon leaving, admired by the Elders, respected by fellow Disciples...

Damn, this is a Senior Sister template.

If Zhao Linger hadn't mentioned it, Xiao Fan would have forgotten about such a female with great Luck.

Even if she performed very well, what of it? What isn't hers will ultimately not belong to her.

Xiao Fan comforted her, "Don't mind what others say; it won't affect your position."

"Be more confident, okay? In Yaochi Immortal Palace, besides me and your two Revered Masters, who can surpass you?"

"But I just feel so bad! I always feel like I've failed my Revered Master's expectations."

Xiao Fan finally understood.

This little girl didn't care about others' opinions, but she cared immensely about Yu Yue and Xin Xi's feelings.

The thought of being inferior to others and potentially disappointing Yu Yue and Xin Xi would always make her feel down.

"Then how about I teach you?" Xiao Fan said.

"How would you teach me?" Zhao Linger asked seriously.

"For example, look at me. Do I look like someone who can manage things?" Xiao Fan said.

Zhao Linger shook her head. In her impression, this guy would run out every month and return after a month, not knowing what he was busy with.

In her impression, Xiao Fan only knew how to play and enjoy himself.

"Exactly, I can't."

"But some people can, like Xin Xi and Yu Yue."

"You see, I have a very good relationship with them. If I were—and I mean *if*—if I were their Revered Master behind the scenes, I wouldn't need to manage Yaochi Immortal Palace. I'd only need to manage them."

"Do you understand what I mean? What we need to do is manage people, not affairs. Let the subordinates handle the affairs; we just need to manage our subordinates."

Zhao Linger seemed to understand but not quite, yet she felt there was some truth to what he said.

But your example has problems!

"What are you talking about? Are my Revered Masters someone you can manage? Shameless!" Zhao Linger glared at him fiercely.

She was just a little drunk; when she got angry, it only made her seem like she was acting spoiled.

"I said 'if,' 'if.'"

Xiao Fan knew that Xin Xi and Yu Yue held an irreplaceable position in her Heart-Nature, so he changed his wording to be more considerate of her feelings.

After hearing these words, Zhao Linger sobered up quite a bit.

She seemed to have grasped the essence.

She cast a grateful glance at Xiao Fan, though her tone remained somewhat cold: "Hmph, at least what you said was somewhat useful. Consider me owing you a favor."

"Ah, alright, alright, you decide." Xiao Fan couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

He was a man of principle.

First: Don't argue with women.

Second: Don't argue with drunk women.

Third: Admit defeat first in an argument. If the other party keeps pressing, just repeat "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

Zhao Linger was somewhat tipsy, the flush on her face becoming even more alluring. Her body felt a bit hot, and she even pulled down the collar of her dress to let in air, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her snow-white, jade-like, smooth, slender arms.

Two years of tempering had made Xiao Fan's Heart-Nature as calm as still water. He wouldn't get excited over a small hill, no matter how cute a drunk young girl or loli was.

No matter how beautiful the legs, they were merely a gun carriage; no matter how rounded the soft breasts, they were merely a pair of armrests. He had already seen through the Mortal World, Amitabha.

Emptiness is form, the Gate of Form!

"By the way, did the person you mentioned ever come out to clarify?"

"Clarify what?" Zhao Linger asked.

"Meaning, that those words were false, and she didn't mean that."

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it. Probably not," Zhao Linger shook her head and said.

Her head was heavy and dizzy, her eyelids as heavy as lead, unable to lift.

Finally, she could no longer hold back and fell backward. If she landed on the ground, she would definitely get a bump on the back of her head.

Xiao Fan intervened at the right moment and held her up.

Looking down, Zhao Linger was small and cute with a hint of innocence. Her soft, pink, moist red lips were slightly pouting as she breathed, like a young girl in her first love, with the shining brilliance of a white moonlight amidst her shyness.

Her pair of jade-like small hands hung naturally, like willows in the wind, tender and full of youthful vitality.

Everything was beautiful. If Zhao Linger lived on Blue Star campus, she would definitely be the perfect campus belle, attracting everyone's attention.

Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Little lightweight, if you can't drink, don't try to imitate others and drink. Now you reek of alcohol."

He held Zhao Linger in his arms, preparing to take her back to Yaochi Immortal Palace to let her sober up before anything else.

At the same time, he was also thinking about what Zhao Linger had said about the female with great Luck.

Presumably, that person didn't know yet that Zhao Linger was the designated future Palace Revered Master, the unshakeable kind.

And Xiao Fan, naturally, also supported Zhao Linger taking over Yaochi Immortal Palace. There was no other reason; because Yu Yue and Xin Xi adored Zhao Linger, he naturally supported Zhao Linger out of love for them.

"She didn't come out to explain, choosing silence. Is she trying to build momentum?"

"The succession of imperial power in the Mortal World can stir up a bloody storm. A vast Immortal Palace, controlling half of the Immortal Realm, I don't believe there's no conspiracy involved."

Xiao Fan's Heart-Nature leaned more towards the idea that all of this was arranged by that female with great Luck.

Even if she didn't intentionally arrange it, she deliberately condoned it, testing Yu Yue's reaction.

"Indeed, none of those females with great Luck are easy to deal with."

In response, Xiao Fan decided to do something to restrain this female with great Luck and make her obedient.

Zhao Linger's Heart-Nature was pure. If this female with great Luck was cunning enough, perhaps she could be manipulated to assist Zhao Linger.

Although Xiao Fan disliked cunning women, such people were absolutely necessary.

After all, someone had to do the dirty and tiring work, and Xiao Fan felt that this female with great Luck was quite suitable.
