Chapter 556: Chapter 455: Fishing in Troubled Waters

"Why isn’t she coming over?"

"Could there be some issue?"

Li Lingzhen’s words made all the Contracted Spirit Girls tense up.

After all, there are supposed to be seven Immortal Maidens, yet only six Contracted Spirit Girls are known.

No one knows who the last fairy is.

With this thought, the joyful atmosphere instantly vanished, replaced by gravity.

"What a coincidence, everyone is here!"

At this moment, a familiar male voice sounded in their ears.

Han Zhan eventually braced himself and greeted them.

The girls: "???"

"Am I hallucinating? Why do I hear Ah Zhan’s voice?"

"But there isn’t anyone around. Where’s Ah Zhan speaking from?"

"Could it be—"

The discussion abruptly stopped.

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously fell upon the figure in purple.

Indeed, a familiar face seen often but clad in a drifting purple Immortal Skirt appeared before them.

The atmosphere grew tense once more!

"Pfft!" Li Lingzhen was the first to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!" Nuannuan was the second.

Then came the third, the fourth...

The air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"I must say, Ah Zhan looks quite nice in women’s clothing." Gongyang Jin complimented, reaching out to touch Han Zhan’s face.

The other Contracted Spirit Girls also stepped up, teasing the "Purple-Gowned Fairy" playfully.

Except for the unfamiliar Jiang Lingling, and Li Lingzhen.

"Stop it, all of you stop! This is harassment! Harassment!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Han Zhan stopped them with a lifeless face.

But evidently, it had no effect.

If anything, the more he resisted, the more excited they seemed.

"Is it harassment if wives are playful with their husband?" Shang Siteng winked.

"Of course not!" Nuannuan giggled.

"Hmm..." Jiang Lingling observed the lively scene, speaking with a touch of envy.

"Their relationship seems great? It surely is, they’ve lived together for a long time." Li Lingzhen nodded slightly.

"You’ve been solitary on the Moon for so long, envious of such a vibe? If you desire it, join them, you’ll find there’s no difference in the future."

"If you ask why I don’t join," Li Lingzhen added, blushing, "they’re too raunchy; I’m shy."

"..."

"Call her sister!" The Main Palace Lady assertively drew Han Zhan to her side.

Han Zhan stared in shock at Xia Youwei; is she still the gentle Xia University Beauty he knew?

Despite his shock, he obeyed: "Sister."

The good-natured Han Zhan never refused a request, and this revelation triggered another minor climax in the scene.

Nuannuan, who had been grinning foolishly, suddenly appeared bewildered:

"What am I doing?"

Then she saw Han Zhan in a purple Immortal Skirt and resumed her cheerful demeanor: "Who cares what he’s doing, isn’t a cross-dressed Ah Zhan adorably irresistible to mess with?!"

Encouraged by Li Lingzhen, Jiang Lingling gathered courage and decided to join in, closing her eyes and daringly reaching out.

Surrounded by the girls, Han Zhan looked at the somewhat unfamiliar beauty in shock.

All the Contracted Spirits paused, surprised by Jiang Lingling’s bold move despite her unassuming nature.

"Miss," Han Zhan’s mouth twitched slightly, "if you’re going to meddle, could you be a bit gentler?"

Miss, what you’ve grasped isn’t just a fish; it’s your future.

Jiang Lingling hadn’t realized until the next second, when everyone stepped aside, revealing the reason for the silence.

She had inadvertently grasped a big catch!

"Ah!" Jiang Lingling screamed, withdrawing her right hand and instinctively covering her cheeks with both hands.

"Wow, you’re amazing! You found the voice of Lingling, who’s only ever uttered ’Hmm.’ Li Lingzhen praised.

Han Zhan’s face went dark, lightly rewarding her with a flick on the forehead.

The cross-dressing antics of Han Zhan momentarily subsided.

Allowing them to goof around was a concern that emotions had been suppressed for too long, which could be dangerous in the Fruit World.

Back to the matter at hand.

All had reunited in Peach Garden, with Han Zhan temporarily returning to normal; positive developments were on the horizon.

The primary agenda post-reunion: completing the contract with Jiang Lingling.

Having hit an unexpected snag with the Great Dragon, Jiang Lingling did not object.

Moreover, she’d spent too many years lonely on the Moon, yearning for communal life.

With Han Zhan’s Divine Radiance, Jiang Lingling’s Haotian Tower Talent was fully activated, revealing itself.

[Jiang Lingling, SSS Level Contracted Spirit.]

[Illusion Form, Ancient Divine Soldier - Haotian Tower.]

[Divinity, Sealing Heaven and Earth.]

The sixth Ancient Divine Soldier, Haotian Tower, contract completed!

Her Divine Talent is formidable; the name says it all.

Sealing Heaven and Earth, the ultimate in sealing skills, captures the world within the tower,

exemplifying the power of the Haotian Tower, one of the Ancient Divine Soldiers.

Haotian Tower can unleash powerful seals to weaken opponents, though the stronger the seal, the greater the Spiritual Power consumption required.

It can even use the tower as the primary sealing body, enacting perpetual sealing within, as with Han Zhan in his previous berserk state.

With the sixth Ancient Divine Soldier contracted, Han Zhan’s strength took a significant leap forward.

The myriad uses of the Haotian Tower await further exploration; no more will be mentioned for now.

With this crucial matter settled, a brief review followed.

Everyone recounted their experiences entering the Kunlun Twin Fruit World, filling gaps in world exploration perspectives.

It is now known that the Kunlun Twin Fruit World possesses a unique reverse personality rule:

The gentle Han Zhan, innocent Li Lingzhen, sister-calling Xia Youwei, clear yet foolish Shang Siteng, timid Gongyang Jin, forgetful Nuannuan, and blank Jiang Lingling.

These are everyone’s current traits.

Additionally, there’s the matter of tasks.

Although each group’s initial task differed, they all ultimately led to a singular task, Peach Garden.

"Preliminary task rewards are maps and Queen Mother of the West Tokens; Peach Garden is unavoidable, likely a pivotal task point."

As Han Zhan finished speaking, the Queen Mother of the West Token in his hand also flew, merging into Peach Garden.

The next second, wristbands appeared on his wrist, and the celestial mist shrouding the entire Peach Garden vanished.

The entrance to Peach Garden was opened.
