267: The contrast is too great

I thought I was having Qinglan Fairy's substitute, but I ended up eating the main course directly!

There was no such thing as a substitute!

Facing Qinglan Fairy's inquiry, Chen Xuan quickly replied:

"Cough, cough, no, I was just thinking about something."

"It's fine, husband, if...if we really can't get out, living here isn't so bad either!"

Chen Xuan suddenly made a move.

"Ying Ning~ Husband, you can't!"

You're telling me this is Qinglan Fairy??!! This is too much of a contrast, she's practically light-bodied, soft, and easy to... that!

"What a vixen, once I'm done with my current affairs, I'll properly seek my revenge on you!" Chen Xuan thought proudly.

Since you're willing to pretend, I'll play along. Anyway, I'm not the one losing out, and besides...hehehe!

"Husband, you're annoying!"

"Come, eat this Peach Blossom. It can temporarily greatly increase your Luck and permanently slightly increase your Luck." Chen Xuan pulled out a purple Peach Blossom and handed it to Qinglan Fairy.

After all, she's one of us now; she shouldn't be missing out on what she deserves.

It was a pity I was a bit too eager just now and didn't let her take it beforehand. Who knows, something fun might have happened.

Qinglan Fairy already knew the purpose of the Peach Blossom, so she didn't doubt him. She took it and ate it.

"Alright, we should set off. I estimate that those who came in for the trial have already obtained many good treasures. It's time to harvest a wave." Chen Xuan patted Qinglan Fairy's cute bottom and said.

The one in the sky is probably getting impatient too. Can't provoke, can't provoke.

"I'll listen to husband."

Then the two left the spot and began to ascend the mountain.

During this time, Chen Xuan deliberately released Lin Rou, making her put on his previous attire. She shared his Cultivation, so this time, Chen Xuan planned to let Lin Rou do the stealing.

Although the latter was very unwilling, under Chen Xuan's raised palm, she still awkwardly put on the clothes Chen Xuan had worn.

"Alas, I, the dignified Mother of Life, have fallen to such a state, truly..."

Slap!

"Ugh!"

"Stop dilly-dallying. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to establish your authority later, and I also need to pretend to be your victim. Hurry up!"

"You, if you dare hit me again, this Venerable One won't do it!" Lin Rou shrieked.

"You won't do it? Are you waiting for me to do it?"

"You...vulgar!" Lin Rou's face flushed with anger.

"Alright, we'll go up first. When you get to the top, you must snatch all the good treasures from everyone you encounter!" After speaking, Chen Xuan took Qinglan Fairy up the mountain.

"What a bandit!" Lin Rou rubbed the spot where she was hit, watching Chen Xuan leave.

......

At the summit, a vast expanse stretched out, with several towering ancient trees standing there, and beneath the trees, a large expanse of lush green grass, looking incredibly beautiful.

However, at this moment, many excellent students had already gathered at the summit.

Chen Xuan and Qinglan Fairy also arrived late.

They climbed up the mountain path, finding many rare Spirit Medicine, and even some herbs that were already extinct.

"Husband, haven't you noticed? This place, this place is simply a Cultivator's paradise. If we could Cultivate here long-term, we could probably Breakthrough our Cultivation very quickly, all the way to the Mahayana Peak!" Qinglan Jade exclaimed.

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed a treasure trove, what a pity."

"There's nothing to pity. Maybe we'll stay here forever!" Qinglan Jade said.

If she really stayed here forever, with Chen Xuan's company... she wouldn't be unable to accept it, and in fact... she even had some expectations!

"Even so, wouldn't we still be unable to leave once we reach Mahayana?"

"Husband is right."

"Alright, this is the summit. I have a premonition that the best things in the entire Small World will be here." Chen Xuan said with certainty.

"Hmm, then let's go look for them."

"Okay."

Chen Xuan led Qinglan Jade further forward.

"Chen Xuan, over here! It's great that you're okay!" The two were just about to search the summit when Dai Dabai's voice directly reached them.

Following him were Tang Sirui, Yan Xi, and a gloomy Ma Ji.

Behind them was a large group of people from other academies, who were currently gathered around something, studying it.

"I did not fail you!"

"I say, Chen Xuan, what's wrong with you? We sent you signals a long time ago. With your strength, you shouldn't have arrived this late. What were you dilly-dallying about on the way?" Ma Ji had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent, so he directly fired at Chen Xuan.

"Ah, don't mention it. When Qinglan and I were coming up, we encountered a masked wack. Without a word, he demanded that we hand over our Storage Pouch. I refused, so I fought with him, and the result was... my Storage Pouch was stolen, so I couldn't receive your signals!"

"So... you also encountered him!" Yan Xi said, shocked.

"What do you mean, you guys too...?"

"Alas, I really don't know who he is. Everyone who comes here is a participating student, and since they're participating students, I'm very familiar with them. There's no way there could be a Soul Transformation Stage expert!" Dai Dabai said.

"I'm not sure about that. Perhaps that Senior is someone we don't know!" Chen Xuan said indifferently.

"Hmph, I think he's just someone from a certain Family, deliberately hiding his identity to bully us juniors. Otherwise, how could he be so powerful!" Ma Ji remained relentless, trying to find an excuse for himself.

"Hehe, no matter who he is, he stole our treasures, and I will definitely settle this score with him!" Chen Xuan said with a calm expression.

"Hmm, you're right, we must settle the score with him!" Yan Xi also echoed.

"Oh? Who is this Fellow Daoist planning to settle scores with?"

Suddenly, a voice floated over. It was the masked wack Lin Rou who had arrived.

"Hmph, you bandit, you dare to show up even with so many of us together!" Chen Xuan glared at the masked wack.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Since I dared to steal your things, I naturally dare to appear before you!" Lin Rou was completely unfazed by Chen Xuan's anger.

"Hmph, brothers, hold the line for me. Today, I'm definitely going to beat him down!" Chen Xuan said, preparing to charge forward.

"Husband, don't be impulsive!" Qinglan Jade quickly stopped Chen Xuan.

"It's fine, trust me!" Chen Xuan gave Qinglan Jade a comforting look, then charged forward.

Seeing this, Qinglan Jade no longer tried to stop him.

After all, she knew what the inside story was. If Chen Xuan wanted to play, she would play along.
