Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 284 - 89: One Dance Surpasses a Hundred Thousand Cloud Bamboos
"Saintess, why are you getting upset with a child?"
"Haha, when did I ever get upset?"
"Alright then..."
Ahead lies a vast expanse of lush bamboo forest. To be precise, ever since Yun Xing and the three children led the group for half a day, the scenery along the way has been nothing but vast stretches of beautiful emerald bamboo.
It’s no wonder it’s called Cloud Bamboo Mountain, for everything encountered is bamboo.
Mo Xiaolan is very good at amusing children and quickly became friends with Yun Xing, even managing to find out the names of the two little girls.
Yun Yan and Yun Yu turned out to be twins.
Yun Xing, mischievous and curious about the outside world, encouraged the two girls to secretly run away with him.
Out of curiosity, Fang Xue asked Yun Zhen and learned that the founders of Cloud Pattern Mountain and Cloud Bamboo Mountain hailed from the same lineage, hence all the residents of the two mountains bear the surname Yun.
Thus, Yun Zhen and the three children are distant relatives.
However, these three children seemed closest to Mo Xiaolan, with Yun Yan and Yun Yu each holding one of her hands and even giving her the Beast Bone Necklace from their necks to wear.
Qin Gengyun also enjoys being with children, often chatting playfully with them, making him look like part of a five-member family alongside Mo Xiaolan.
This caused Niantang, who walked at the back, to look even more displeased.
Liu Su joined her at the end, whispering:
"Saintess, you actually want to play with the children too, don’t you? But seeing them close only to Mo Xiaolan makes you unhappy, doesn’t it?"
Niantang cast a cold glance at her, which only made Liu Su chuckle recklessly and continue:
"If you’re really unhappy, why not skip the retreat and turn back into Qiu Zhihe to give the lord a couple of kids? Or perhaps have a romantic master-disciple relationship, giving birth to a child with Niantang’s body? I’m quite curious; if Niantang got pregnant, would Qiu Zhihe’s belly also swell? Boo hoo hoo!"
With a wave of Niantang’s hand, Liu Su’s mouth was sealed, leaving her to make "mhm-mhm" sounds.
At that moment, Yun Yan and Yun Yu ahead started joyfully singing a ballad to the group:
"The charming face of Yun Wu, oh those captivating eyes~~"
"The waist of Yun Wu, oh like a slicing blade~~"
"The legs of Yun Wu, oh, alluring the mountain spirits~~"
"Ten thousand Cloud Bamboo can’t match a single dance~~"
Their voices were clear and sweet, though the lyrics were somewhat strange, prompting Mo Xiaolan to curiously ask:
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu, what are you singing?"
Yun Xing, with hands behind his back, responded proudly from the front: "Of course, it’s our sister Yun Wu."
The group exchanged glances, and Yun Zhen suddenly fell silent while Si Minglan asked: "The Yun Wu you’re talking about, is she the one ranked first on the Beauty Ranking?"
"Naturally!"
Yun Xing’s pride grew, raising his little head: "This ballad is known by everyone on Cloud Bamboo Mountain. You know, while Cloud Bamboo Mountain boasts ten thousand beautiful bamboos, they can’t outshine our sister Yun Wu’s dance!"
Everyone listened with fascination, even the children sang praises of her beauty in the ballad. Could there really be such an exquisite beauty in the world?
Yun Yu giggled teasingly: "Yun Xing acts so shy, imitating his brother’s manner!"
Yun Yan also teased him: "Yun Xing sneaked a peek at sister Yun Wu dancing, oh so shameless!"
Yun Xing, infuriated: "You’re just making things up, sister Yun Wu danced specially for me!"
"The girls on Cloud Bamboo Mountain only dance for their husbands to see. Yun Xing wants to be sister Yun Wu’s husband, oh so shameless!"
"You — you’re lying!!"
The children bickered, piquing Qin Gengyun’s curiosity as he turned to Yun Zhen:
"Yun Zhen, I remember you told me Yun Wu was on Cloud Bamboo Mountain, and there’s a secret about her?"
Yun Zhen lowered his head, continuing to remain silent.
Ever since the three children appeared, Yun Zhen had barely spoken, looking quite burdened.
Niantang stared at Yun Zhen’s back, also falling silent, before suddenly saying:
"It’s very close."
Liu Su, finally able to speak, asked softly:
"Saintess, do you mean the relic is near?"
Liu Su had originally served as the guide for finding the Immortal’s Relic, but two days ago she lost her sense of direction, prompting Qin Gengyun to decide to first escort Yun Zhen to Cloud Bamboo Mountain.
Niantang had been silent too, seemingly having lost the position of the relic.
Upon hearing Liu Su’s question, she finally nodded:
"Mm, I sensed it."
Then, furrowing her delicate eyebrows: "When Master led me in back then, the relic shouldn’t have been here. Why has the location changed?"
Suddenly, she halted in her steps, coldly saying:
"There are people."
Up ahead, Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan sensed something amiss too, quickly shielding the three children behind them.
In the next instant, dozens of people wielding bamboo spears emerged from the lush forest, dressed in bright clothing and wearing hats adorned with silver bells. Both men and women wore skirts, revealing either smooth or coarse calves.
Afterward, a woman dressed similarly stepped forward gracefully, her figure tall and with curving lines, revealing a portion of her shapely calves, her skin like cream.
Her face was quite ordinary though, leaving one to sigh over such a perfect figure but plain features.
Yun Xing and the others exclaimed with joy, running toward the ordinary-looking woman:
"Sister Xiaowu!"
The woman crouched, embracing them and scolded: "Where did you three go? We searched everywhere for you!"
Her voice was like silver bells, even reprimanding words sounded heavenly, yet again, the pity was the face she wore.
"Xiaowu!"
"Xiaowu, long time no see!"
Mo Xiaolan and Yun Zhen both exclaimed happily, and the woman looked up, showing a radiant smile as she ran toward them.
With her slender legs and remarkable figure, her movements were as tumultuous as a landslide, water cascade, a jade shake.
"Wow, senior, her figure is even better than yours!"
Liu Su’s eyes widened, instinctively glancing at Niantang beside her, but this time, she didn’t get angry, only frowned:
"There’s an odd aura about this woman."
By now Xiaowu had reached Mo Xiaolan, warmly hugging her:
"Xiaolan sister, why have you come to Northern Wilderness? I’m so happy to see you again!"
Mo Xiaolan smiled, embracing her: "I came to Northern Wilderness to find a friend and was hoping to meet you along the way; didn’t expect to do so so soon." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Then she explained to those nearby: "When I left Yunling Town for Thunder Sword City, I ran into Xiaowu who was being chased by people from the Celestial Fall Sect and managed to save her."
Qin Gengyun recalled this; Mo Xiaolan indeed mentioned it once. At the time, she and Xiaowu fled the pursuit, forced northward, until they reached the Northern Xingluo Town.
Xiaowu was taken away by her clan, while Mo Xiaolan was captured by the Beichang Family from Xingluo Town.
Before leaving, Xiaowu gave Mo Xiaolan a piece of Colorful Bone.
The group didn’t know that this Colorful Bone had already fused into Mo Xiaolan’s body during the battle at the Chang Family, greatly enhancing her cultivation.
Indeed, it was this Colorful Bone that summoned her to the southernmost part of the Northern Wilderness.
Old friends reunited, naturally bringing joy.
Xiaowu, with her innocent and warm nature, hugged Mo Xiaolan for a long while before embracing Yun Zhen:
"Yun Zhen, long time no see! How are Aunt Hua and Aunt Li? Xiaoque’Er and Xiaoxuan have surely grown a lot taller?"
