Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1117 - 1097: Farewell to the Nineteen Heavenly Tribulations
Watching the storm clouds approach the nearby mountain peak, Qhianqhian and Tang Tianyi stood by the water’s edge, surprised.
"Is it Uncle?"
Tang Tianyi nodded at the words: "It should be."
Ever since entering the Cultivation World, Luo Xiying had been in seclusion with Bai Yixian between the peaks, relying on elixirs for their daily diet. But they hadn’t expected it would happen so quickly.
"A Heavenly Tribulation..."
On the mountain, whenever significant events occurred, Qhianqhian and Tang Tianyi would appear in the dining hall to eat together, but it was no longer mealtime. Only Luo Xiying and Bai Yixian were absent, while the others Qhianqhian had brought in were gathered here, watching the sky full of clouds with somber faces.
By the time Qhianqhian arrived at the dining hall, everyone was already there.
"Qhianqhian..." Old Master Luo’s face was serious: "It seems like there’s going to be a thunderstorm!"
Thunderstorm??? Qhianqhian looked utterly bewildered.
A moment later, she nodded: "Collect the clothes; it wouldn’t be good if it rains."
She exchanged glances with Tang Tianyi, both smiling helplessly, understanding it wouldn’t rain.
Only lightning and thunder.
Feng Xi stood next to Qhianqhian: "Your family’s cultivation skills aren’t bad, are they?"
Qhianqhian rolled her eyes: "Shoo, shoo, it’s going to rain, hurry and hide from it."
Sitting under the erected canopy, everyone watched the massive storm clouds on the horizon.
"Isn’t this what they call localized rain areas? You see the clouds are right there." Luo Yanran said knowingly, nodding thoughtfully.
Qhianqhian calmly picked up an apple she had just harvested and took a bite.
Since everything grows quickly here, basically maturing in a month, there’s no need to worry about fruits and vegetables.
Qin Nuan rolled her eyes, clearly disagreeing, while watching Rashal elegantly wearing the Hanfu she had bought, with a face full of admiration.
Even though they were authentic, they had innate racial talents, and anything they wore looked good. Their models’ physiques made them natural clothes hangers.
Although Luo Yanran was nice too, lately his focus on work as a form of exercise had dulled the muscle contours he initially had.
Adeline looked stunning in her robe skirt, making Qin Nuan green with envy. Don’t think only men fancy beauties; women can appreciate beautiful girls even more.
To avoid seeming too modern, purchases were made, though saying ’purchases’ actually meant just asking Jia Ning when they went out. Next time, clothes of various sizes would be arranged and ready.
And Qin Nuan didn’t disappoint Qhianqhian; she successfully crafted the Beauty-Preserved Pill.
She proudly presented it to Jia Ning, who welcomed it warmly, even making her a bit guilty.
Of course, the test subjects were her and Yue Tingyu.
Qhianqhian didn’t have the time to be a guinea pig, and Adeline... her dear brother didn’t trust her and wouldn’t let her mess around.
The first bolt of lightning struck, and Qhianqhian raised her eyebrows, finding it seemingly less than what she faced?
Yet in the next second, she saw Luo Shufan’s ’Xiao Tian’ howl and run over, burying itself in Shufan’s arms.
Qhianqhian had lines on her forehead: "Bro, be careful, kids are afraid of thunder."
"He sleeps like a pig; how was I to know he’d wake up?" Luo Shufan cradled the little one in his arms, covering its ears, and smiled gently.
"My brother’s now gentler with wolf pups than with me, so unfair." Qhianqhian pouted, complaining to Tang Tianyi.
In the next second, gentle hands covered her own ears, surprising her when Tang Tianyi did so.
She wasn’t scared at all. After all she’d been through it.
Even though during her experience, she felt like jumping up and fleeing...
Seeing Tang Tianyi’s gesture, Luo Yanran belatedly blocked Qin Nuan’s ears, followed by Qin Liang covering Adeline’s ears.
Old Master Luo also attempted to reach out, only to see Yue Tingyu already holding his hand, smiling at him: "No need."
Just like the youthful tenderness of years past.
A gentle expression crossed Old Master Luo’s eyes; the other hand clasped the jade hand holding his, patting it, a face full of silly smiles.
The nine bolts of Heavenly Tribulation neither especially quick nor slow, but soon the clouds dispersed, welcoming sunlight.
"What thunderstorm, sure there was thunder but where’s the rain?" Luo Yanran pouted, looking at the now sunny sky, shielding from the sun, observing the azure skies: "If everyone wasn’t here, I’d think I was dreaming."
Qhianqhian however, grabbed Tang Tianyi and swiftly left: "We’re going to cultivate."
Heading towards the direction of the mountain peak.
Before even reaching the spot, they saw Bai Yixian carrying Luo Xiying down the mountain, with a burnt meat scent lingering around Luo Xiying...
"Uncle, where are you well-cooked?" Qhianqhian blinked, worry filling her face.
"Hair." Luo Xiying struggled to open his eyes: "Can’t you wish me some goodness?"
Qhianqhian lightly shrugged, without a response.
She directly sent them to Luo Shufan’s place, preventing the elders’ worries. Luo Shufan was startled seeing uncle: "What happened? Did a wolf bite you?"
"Uncle, stay with brother here to recuperate; I’m sure he’ll take good care of you, watch him cultivate too." Qhianqhian seriously encouraged.
Luo Xiying nodded but hesitantly glanced towards Bai Yixian, then back at Qhianqhian, speechless.
"Uncle, what’s wrong?"
"Your beauty pills... can they remove scars?" Luo Xiying’s face full of guilt: "I don’t mind, but... hmm?"
Before finishing, a White Jade Bottle fell onto the bed.
"Nuannuan crafted it."
Then she turned to Luo Shufan: "Bro, focus on reading; once it’s time, during the sea selection it’ll get busy."
Although the sea selection has nothing to do with Luo Shufan as the named Pavilion Master, after it comes the retest, and then the final interview, which Luo Shufan personally hosts.
This is for their Second Generation Disciple, after all, caution is needed.
"Got it..." Luo Shufan replied bitterly, since tasking her, Qhianqhian practically repeated until satisfied whenever meeting him.
"Uncle and Big Brother Bai will guest in the retest as examiners."
Bai Yixian naturally nodded, looking at Luo Xiying’s amused expression, asking: "You didn’t arrange for your grandparents to pretend as janitor Masters right?"
Qhianqhian bashfully touched her nose: "That’s confidential."
If many people come, hidden stages will be added, but with fewer people, it’ll be a slow assessment...
After all, founding a sect, the primary thing is disciples!
Nine Heavens Pavilion’s three great advantages: Cultivation Techniques, elixirs, food.
No need to mention cultivation techniques, countless smuggled from there, plus Bai Ze’s help, Qhianqhian is a mobile cultivation technique library.
Elixirs, Qin Nuan has countless Pill Recipes, lacking only capability and materials.
Food, as the saying goes, a horse runs fast only when fed grass; humans need food to function, naturally an essential element.
