"Sit."

Hearing this, Sister Qi in the Formation Chessboard blinked.

Ruan Lan also blinked, somewhat doubting whether she heard wrong.

However, with her courage, she dragged her heavily injured body to sit beside Yuan Mei, couldn't help but let out a 'hiss' in pain.

The Golden Core had cracks, it was indeed painful!

Fortunately, there was an Emperor Artifact embryo suppressing it, otherwise, any other Cultivator with such an injury would have been near death.

"Ruan Lan." The sister-in-law reported her name.

"Yuan Mei."

"Nice name." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What's nice about it?"

"..."

Ruan Lan solemnly said, "What's nice is that my little Golden Core can't comprehend the true meaning contained in this name."

Yuan Mei gave a charming smile.

Ruan Lan followed with a smile.

Yuan Mei's smile gradually faded: "Get back in the coffin and lie down."

"No way!"

Ruan Lan panicked.

The Bronze Mirror Coffin was terrifyingly eerie, not to mention it was hard to turn over inside, and even a Golden Core Realm Fairy needed to use the restroom...

She racked her brains, and in a moment of brilliance said, "Yuan Mei! Hmm, it symbolizes the plum blossom afar, clearly your parents wanted you to soar high. Look at you now, in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, isn't that a great meaning!"

"My parents were Supreme Elders of the Tian Gui Tribe back then. I was a Saintess at birth, ranked among the top three in the Seed Sequence, and by the age of five became my master's Direct Disciple. As long as you're not a fool, the Quasi-Emperor is just the beginning."

See?

Do people say this?

Ruan Lan dislikes talking to monstrous talents with good backgrounds and strong abilities, as three sentences from them can leave you speechless.

So Ruan Lan remained silent for a while, then mimicked Yuan Mei, taking off her shoes and dipping her feet into the Boundless Sea.

The seawater was a bit chilly.

The comfort made Ruan Lan moan slightly, "Mmm, comfortable."

Yuan Mei laughed in exasperation.

Ruan Lan truly didn't see herself as an outsider. No matter whether they were kin or outsiders, everyone faced this Quasi-Emperor with great caution, but this little Golden Core was fine.

Not only did she cross her legs with pretense in front of the master, but she was also so relaxed in Yuan Mei's presence.

"Your story is clear at a glance, my story is like this..." Ruan Lan squinted.

"I don't want to hear it."

"I rarely open up to others!"

Ruan Lan was at a loss, she seldom bared her soul even to her biological sister or best friends, was she not to have a chance to say some heartful words before dying?

"Ha."

Yuan Mei nodded, "What is your relationship with Xu Qingfeng, are you his partner? You actually know the complete Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation."

"Humph! I'm the woman he can't have in this life, the past life, the next life."

"Hmm?"

"My sister is his wife...uh, that is, his partner."

"Isn't that even better, among Xu Qingfeng's partners, besides Fairy Qing Yuan and the Fox Spirit Lady of Qingqiu, there are the Domain Master sisters of the Western Immortal Domain, that is quite a story."

"Scumbag!"

Ruan Lan said angrily.

She heard too many stories of her infamous brother-in-law's escapades on their journey, always skeptical, it turned out to be all true.

Yuan Mei sized up Ruan Lan and suddenly understood something: "No wonder, having seen a few of Xu Qingfeng's partners, your looks are indeed average."

"???

Ruan Lan nearly fainted from anger.

If she could, she would definitely have pinned this woman down and beaten her fiercely.

"Appearance is okay, the figure is so-so, and the temperament aspect is far off," commented Yuan Mei.

"Different paths lead to different places, goodbye!" Ruan Lan turned her head to lie back in the coffin.

"Sit upright." Yuan Mei glanced over.

"Sit it is!"

Ruan Lan said with the largest voice, conveying the most cowardly words.

"..." Sister Qi.

"There were once three Snowflowers in the Southern Immortal Domain that survived an era, there was one here."

Yuan Mei lamented, "It's a pity, they are gone now."

Ruan Lan raised her delicate eyebrows.

Could it be?

Could it be?

Is this Bai Xue's hometown?

She looked suspiciously at the inside of the coffin, only to see the Formation Chessboard gently shaking, but unwilling to transmit sound or speak.

Evidently worried about exposing Bai Xue's location.

Ruan Lan's beautiful eyes lit up, coming here before dying was not a loss, she sniffed:

"It's so desolate here, she is quite pitiful, staying here for so long, not a single fish in the sea, too lonely."

"It's just a natural treasure, since it has terrifyingly long life, how can there be loneliness?"

Yuan Mei looked at Ruan Lan strangely, "If could, would you not want to live a reincarnation?"

Ruan Lan thought seriously, then shook her head: "I wouldn't."

"Why not." Yuan Mei was interested.

"The whole life of a Snowflower is trapped in the Boundless Sea, unable to appreciate the beauty of the Immortal Domain, such a regret."

Ruan Lan asked, "Besides, did you set on the path of cultivation, just to live longer?"

Yuan Mei was stunned.

She had never thought about this question.

Even before birth, her mother had been consuming nourishing elixirs, Spirit Plants to build her foundation, later cultivation became a matter of course.

"Look, you have no idea why you cultivate at all." Ruan Lan shrugged.

"Then why do you cultivate."

"I feel that sword-flight is cool, want to beat up a certain scoundrel, aspire to be a heroine who helps the downtrodden, want a harem with beauties aplenty, there are so many reasons, but definitely not to live longer."

Ruan Lan's eyes sparkled, speaking boastfully: "People, birth, aging, illness, and death are natural, as long as life is exciting it's enough."

Yuan Mei saw the light in Ruan Lan's eyes, inexplicably felt a little stinging, a vision of the master's face floating in her mind.

The master spent her whole life striving to become Immortal, to live forever.

The existence of the Tian Gui Tribe was to help the master achieve this goal, she and those of her kind were destined to be discarded pieces.

Yuan Mei had a moment of daze.

In her lifetime, can she live as dashingly and brilliantly as Ruan Lan?

After a while, Yuan Mei gave a self-deprecating smile, as a Quasi-Emperor, yet not as free as a little Golden Core.

Born in the Tian Gui Tribe is glory.

Also a restriction and shackle.

Hence Yuan Mei did not dwell on it, changing the topic: "In your life, have you ever had regrets?"

"Yes."

Ruan Lan's beautiful eyes widened: "My biggest regret is being caught by you, with too many small goals unaccomplished."

Yuan Mei wasn't angry. Instead, her lips curled into a smile, inexplicably feeling like she had gained an upper hand from Ruan Lan.

"Your smile is like a Fox Spirit's, my bones nearly melted, If I were to ever build my harem, you'd definitely have a place."

"I'm from the Tian Gui Tribe, not the Fox Tribe."

"Metaphor, do you understand metaphors."

"Don't quite understand."

"Cultural differences!"

"What a pity, being around Xu Qingfeng, the master won't let you live, otherwise taking you as a maid for chat would've been interesting."

"You let me go, I run and you chase. After catching, let me go again, then chase me again, the cat-and-mouse game, wouldn't it be more fun?"

"Heh heh."

"..."

Even the friendliest chat, ends at a 'heh heh'.

Ruan Lan lay powerlessly on the ice field, knowing that when the day breaks it would be her day of death, and Sister Qi...

Most likely would change owners.

Held in someone else's embrace as they slept.
