Three months passed in a flurry of activity.
One day, a fiery and beautiful young woman suddenly arrived at the Xian Yu Ling Yuan, demanding that Chen Tuan Laozu hand over Ming Jiu.
The two Immortal Child at the gate, seeing such a stunning Female Immortal, explained politely who Ming Jiu was, emphasizing that he was the Bai Ze Clan Leader, a symbol of auspiciousness and peace. They insisted that he had no dealings with Xian Yu Ling Yuan, so how could he possibly be there?
However, the Female Immortal insisted that Ming Jiu was indeed at Xian Yu Ling Yuan. She even injured one of the Immortal Child and barged right in.
At that moment, several peculiar individuals at Xian Yu Ling Yuan were either playing chess, reading books, gossiping, or bickering among themselves.
When they heard someone had come to stir trouble, especially a beautiful Female Immortal, they all joyfully rushed out to greet her—after all, it had been eight hundred years since anyone dared to cause a ruckus at Xian Yu Ling Yuan!
All the oddballs emerged from their lairs.
It was said that the Female Immortal left in tears that day. Before departing, she vowed she would not let them off easily.
"Why?" the second senior brother lamented while biting his handkerchief. "I only asked her what her mother’s surname was because she smelled strongly of fox. And she threatened to kill my entire family! I’m so scared…"
"Little junior sister, big senior brother has three rules: he doesn’t hit women, children, or the disabled. You understand!"
"Why are you looking at me? I have the utmost pity for beautiful women! I merely asked her, 'Beautiful lady, do you like eating green peppers?' and she swung her whip at me! She almost split you, Fourth senior Brother, in half. Luckily, you heroically caught that beauty’s hand and trapped her feet, pinning her to the ground!"
Are you sure you were subduing an enemy and not taking advantage of the situation?
Su Qianyang held his son tightly as his lips twitched uncontrollably.
"That girl is probably Ming Jiu's adopted daughter Nen Yin. I heard from the rabbit spirit on the mountain that she has a distant cousin in Kunlun Mountain. It’s said that she is the child of Qian Mei, the most beautiful celestial fox, who had an affair with an outsider. When discovered by Tian Hu Clan Leader, Qian Mei sent her to Kunlun Mountain to be raised by Ming Jiu. Recently, she got involved with Zhu Fei, the young master of Teng She Clan, and even eloped with him. Yes! That famous Zhu Fei! Let me tell you…"
For some reason, the son in her arms was fidgeting restlessly.
"Why on earth are you saying that Ming Jiu is here with us? Should we tell Master about this?" Su Qianyang gently stroked her son's soft hair.
The consensus among the Senior Brothers and Sisters was that it didn't matter whether they told him or not; the old man would probably just respond with a chuckle, "Oh, I already knew about this, you foolish child," and then continue sleeping from the first to the fifteenth day of the month.
That evening, as usual, Su Qianyang brought Oil-Braised Prawns to honor her son. She called out a few times at the door but received no response.
"Son, I brought you some delicious Oil-Braised Prawns!"
"…Son?"
"If you call me son again, I'll smack you."
A clear and pleasant voice came from within, startling Su Qianyang. She lifted the gauze curtain of the inner room and immediately spotted the man on the bed.
He was exceptionally handsome, with crystal-clear eyes like a spring, snow-white skin, smooth black hair, and full pink lips that seemed to always be smiling.
However, Su Qianyang couldn't focus on how he looked; what mattered was—
He was completely naked!!!
Seriously, if you have no clothes on, at least wear some pants! If you don’t have pants, at least put on some underwear! No underwear—couldn’t you at least cover yourself with a Mosaic?
"Ah—" Su Qianyang let out a blood-curdling scream from deep within her throat. Before she could shout "Pervert—", someone covered her mouth.
"Shut up!"
Su Qianyang was so frightened that she fell silent. From the strange and swift movements of the man before her, it was clear he could easily kill her several times before her senior brothers arrived.
"Who... who are you?"
"Ming Jiu."
"Ah?" Her eyes widened in shock. So the girl who had come to provoke her was telling the truth. "I don't know you at all. Why did you sneak into Xian Yu Ling Yuan?"
"What about my son? What have you done to him?"
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Su Qianyang grew even more anxious and kept pressing for answers. Ming Jiu rolled her eyes in response, "I killed him and ate him!"
"You—" Su Qianyang was speechless with anger. In the next moment, tears filled her eyes as she shouted furiously, disregarding the difference in their strength. She lunged at Ming Jiu, scratching and clawing, "How dare you kill my son! I'm going to fight you!"
Caught off guard, Ming Jiu took several punches and felt a few hits on her legs. She grabbed Su Qianyang's hands and helplessly said, "I was just kidding; he's perfectly fine."
"You! Where is my son?"
Ming Jiu looked at her with sparkling eyes but remained silent. Strangely, Su Qianyang felt that those eyes were oddly familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before...
"I told you not to call me your son anymore. At your age, I might as well have been your ancestor," Ming Jiu said slowly, a playful smile on her pink lips, delivering words that made Su Qianyang's heart skip a beat.
