The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 241. I want to fight 2 on 1.
Chapter 241: 241. I want to fight 2 on 1.
The second day of Taobao Mall’s opening was still bustling. Many people didn’t just come and go in a hurry; if time allowed, most would choose to stay for a few days before leaving.
When Fang Zhou planned it initially, he constructed numerous inns and hotels within the mall for accommodations, yet they were all full, and many people had to find lodging in Sword Casting City.
Han Li woke up early; after taking the elixir given by Xiao Yan last night, her injuries had fully healed.
Xiao Yan returned in the middle of the night, surprisingly managing to bring back the Soul-devouring Netherworld Fire. Only after Han Li’s inquiry did she learn about all that transpired after she fell unconscious the previous night.
She couldn’t help but lament Xiao Yan’s good fortune in encountering someone as kind as Wang Qini, who had saved her thrice.
As for Xiao Yan’s decision to ask Wang Qini to pass a message to Fang Zhou on her behalf, Han Li wasn’t upset; instead, she was quite happy, otherwise meeting Fang Zhou would have been quite difficult for them.
Han Li opened the window, looking at the lively and bustling city outside.
Just as Xiao Yan, who was refining the Soul-devouring Netherworld Fire within, suddenly opened her eyes and smiled, saying, "Li, is this the first time I’ve seen you up so early? Are you that eager to see your brother-in-law?"
"Yes, after all, it’s been more than half a year since we last met."
With the threat of the Demon Sect lifted and the Jiao Poison in her body able to be cleared by the Netherworld Fire, Han Li was in an exceptionally good mood today. She even readily admitted to Xiao Yan’s teasing.
However, she still reminded, "He’s not your brother-in-law yet, don’t call him that lightly, or you might upset him."
"Got it."
Xiao Yan jumped down from the bed, squeezed to the window, and looked outside together with Han Li.
"By the way, why doesn’t your brother-in-law want you to tell others his name?"
"I don’t know, maybe he has some concerns."
Han Li shook her head. She noticed that Xiao Yan seemed in a good mood today too, not displaying her usually grave and brooding demeanor; she even took the initiative to tease her.
Han Li thought it must be because of acquiring the Soul-devouring Netherworld Fire and didn’t dwell on it too much.
Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Yan dragged Han Li out, intending to get her a new set of clothes.
Han Li didn’t object; she also wanted to give Fang Zhou a brand-new impression.
Shopping took quite some time, and afterward, the two arrived an hour early at the appointed meeting spot, right in front of the Taobao Mall’s city gate.
Neither Xiao Yan nor Han Li knew that they arrived an hour early, and unexpectedly, Fang Zhou had been waiting there two hours earlier.
He and the Sixth Child were hiding above the city gate, peeking down. As long as Xiao Yan or Han Li looked up, they could see him.
Fang Zhou retracted his head, using the Kun Sword Style to split off an Xuanyuan Sword for the Sixth Child, and gave her a look: proceed according to the plan.
The Sixth Child pouted, but remembering Fang Zhou’s threat of five years of simulation and three years of exams, she obediently took the Xuanyuan Sword and left in invisibility.
After she left, Fang Zhou went down from the other side of the city gate and walked towards Xiao Yan and Han Li.
As he approached and saw Han Li, Fang Zhou immediately showed an amazed expression.
He didn’t anticipate that in half a year, Han Li would have completely transformed.
Originally, Han Li had a plain appearance with dark skin, the type difficult to spot in a crowd.
Now, she had become fair-skinned and beautiful, with a curvaceous figure, as if she had undergone a full-body makeover.
Upon closer inspection, Han Li’s appearance hadn’t changed drastically, just her features had been slightly adjusted, and her skin whitened a bit, resulting in magical effects.
Fang Zhou knew this change was undoubtedly due to the Foundation Establishment phase, as he had experienced it himself and had ample authority to speak on the subject. Foundation Establishment is essentially enhancement plus beautification.
Unless a cultivator practices a special technique, it’s rare for someone at the Foundation Establishment stage to be unattractive. Cultivation is fundamentally a process of evolving towards perfection, during which all flaws are gradually corrected.
The high-ranking members of the Heavenly Sword Sect, for example, are all exceptionally beautiful, though they might not have been naturally gifted with beauty; they might have started as ugly ducklings, becoming more beautiful as their cultivation level increased.
When Fang Zhou approached, Xiao Yan had a face full of surprise, exclaiming, "What are you doing here?"
Han Li looked at Fang Zhou with a puzzled expression, as if looking at a stranger.
Currently, Fang Zhou was wearing a stranger’s face, and in the past six months, his physique had developed rapidly; he also did not carry identifying items like a sword box, making Han Li unable to recognize him.
Fang Zhou lowered his voice: "Just passing by and thought I’d take a look."
Upon seeing Fang Zhou, Xiao Yan immediately thought of what happened last night, and couldn’t help but blush.
She hastened to introduce them: "This is my sister Han Li, and this is Wang Qini, who saved me last night."
"Hello!"
Fang Zhou nodded slightly towards Han Li: "The person you’re waiting for will be here soon."
After saying this, he grasped Xiao Yan’s hand: "Come with me, don’t get in the way here."
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Xiao Yan was pulled away by Fang Zhou, leaving Han Li standing there bewildered.
Fang Zhou dragged Xiao Yan into Taobao Mall, while she didn’t dare struggle and could only mutter in a low voice, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
After last evening’s incident, Xiao Yan became so utterly passive in front of Fang Zhou that she couldn’t even dare raise her voice.
"They’ve been a perfect match not seeing each other for half a year; surely, they have many private things to discuss. How would it look if you stayed around?"
"But..."
Xiao Yan also wanted to meet her brother-in-law; running away like this seemed too impolite.
"No buts, just accompany me for a stroll, don’t go disturbing them."
Fang Zhou placed an arm around Xiao Yan’s shoulders, leading her to stroll around within Taobao Mall.
Xiao Yan was completely rigid, especially being held by Fang Zhou like this, inhaling his pleasant masculine scent from her nostrils, her mind instantly went blank, her face turning beet red like a monkey’s bottom.
Previously, Xiao Yan had loved Fang Zhou at first sight and had no other romantic experiences. Being hugged so intimately by such a handsome guy in public, she didn’t know where to place her hands and feet.
Moreover, Xiao Yan had zero aversion towards Fang Zhou; coupled with last night’s incident that made her incapable of raising her head before him, she could only let him do as he pleased.
Xiao Yan was slightly annoyed with herself, feeling so bashfully useless like a boy, but her heart raced uncontrollably, pondering on one of life’s three great deceptions— does he possibly like me?
After wandering around the mall for a while, Fang Zhou brought Xiao Yan to a secluded place, held her shoulders, and earnestly asked, "Do you trust me?"
Xiao Yan was slightly startled, then nodded sincerely: "I trust you."
How could she not trust someone who had saved her life three times?
"Alright, close your eyes, and no matter what happens, don’t open them, I have a surprise for you!"
Xiao Yan closed her eyes, her heart almost jumping to her throat, wondering what surprise he would give?
Could it be— a stealth kiss?
Xiao Yan clenched her hands tightly, her ears turning bright red.
Fang Zhou silently retreated two steps, pulled a gourd from his sleeve, aimed it at Xiao Yan, and swiftly absorbed her inside with a whoosh.
