Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 557: Chapter 557: I mean, I want to woo your sister! (3rd update)
 

“`

“Sure!” Xue An replied with his Divine Sense in a nonchalant manner.

“Huh?” Huyue, who had expected Xue An to explode with rage, was taken aback and then said, “Hey, I mean, I want to pursue your sister!”

“Yeah, I have no problem with that! Anyway, my sister is of age. Although you are a bit of a clown, look a bit feminine, and are a little old, your capabilities are decent enough. If you really want to pursue her, I think I would agree! But…”

“You have to remember, she’s my sister. If you do manage to win her over, and you dare to do anything to wrong her, hehe…”

When Huyue heard Xue An’s final laugh, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end and immediately spoke out righteously.

“Xue An, I have to criticize you now! What kind of person do you take me for? Isn’t your sister my sister too? As an upstanding Fox Immortal, how could I do anything that goes against common decency?”

Xue An had a look of ‘I’m just quietly watching you perform’ and didn’t say a word.

“Big brother, I was wrong!” Huyue immediately backed down.

The two had been communicating through Divine Sense the whole time, so naturally, nobody else could hear them.

All they could see was Huyue initially looking very smug, then gradually turning pale, and finally slinking off to one side, no longer daring to show off.

“Xiao An bro, should I arrange rooms for us now?” Xue Lan said happily.

Xue An shook his head, then looked out of the window towards Mount Qingmang, “Not in a hurry! I plan to go to the mountains first!”

“You’re going now?” Xue Lan was somewhat surprised.

“Yes! It’s not easy coming back after such a long time; I should at least meet some old acquaintances!”

“Alright, I’ll give the orders, and we’ll go together!”

While Xue Lan went down to get ready, Huyue approached and whispered, “What dense demonic energy!”

Xue An smiled, “The entire mountain is almost sentient by now, let alone the plants and animals.”

“Such a powerful Force of Nature, once the tribulation begins, this place could very likely be the real secret realm entrance!” Huyue said.

“Based on what you’re saying, there are many places like this?”

Huyue nodded, “Many! According to secret records, a lot of these Forces of Nature will appear before the tribulation, but nobody knows exactly where the secret realm will manifest.”

Xue An nodded, “Regardless, we’ll know once we go into the mountains!”

“Who’s that old acquaintance you’re talking about?” Huyue asked curiously.

“An old Daoist who’s shabby and can’t seem to die!” Xue An said with a smile.

Huyue didn’t quite understand what ‘shabby’ meant, but when he saw Master Zhai later, he truly grasped the essence of the word.

The beard had grown into matted clumps; the Daoist robe he wore was so discolored its original color was indecipherable; he wore a pair of shoes that were sloppily put on, with heels so black one couldn’t discern any skin tone.

Having such a decrepit old Daoist standing before him made Huyue feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Yet Master Zhai was overjoyed, “I just cast a divination and discovered a distinguished guest would arrive today. I didn’t expect it to be you, Xiao Anzi, and you’ve become even more formidable!”

Master Zhai felt that if Xue An was like a deep pool before, now he had become an ocean, even more unfathomable, which made him click his tongue in amazement.

Xue An smiled faintly, “Haven’t seen you for two years, and you haven’t changed much, just dirtier!”

“Can’t help it, living deep in these mountains and not having to meet anyone, so I’ve spared myself the trouble of cleaning up!” Master Zhai laughed cheerfully.

Xiao Sha, who had been standing behind Xue An, snorted coldly when he heard this, “Lazy is lazy, stop trying to sugarcoat it!”

Upon hearing this, Master Zhai looked up, first startled, then his whole body began to tremble slightly.

“You… you are…”

Xiao Sha coldly said, “No different from your master back in the day! Older and lazier!”

Master Zhai, overwhelmed with emotion, almost burst into tears and quickly bowed deeply in salute.

“Enough, making a scene at your age, you’re inviting ridicule,” Xiao Sha said with a hint of disgust, but his gaze softened.

Ever since Master Zhai’s master’s master, this humble Daoist temple had been protecting Xiao Sha, who was very weak at the time.

“`

“Yes, yes, yes! Please everyone, come in!” Old Daoist Zhai hurriedly called out.

After everyone entered the Daoist temple, Old Daoist Zhai excused himself to wash up in his bedroom, and by the time he returned, he had transformed into the image of a celestial master with an aura of immortality.

As everyone settled down to tea, Xue An glanced at the tree in the courtyard and smiled faintly, “Won’t you join us for a cup?”

With that, he placed a cup of tea on the table.

The ancient tree’s branches trembled a few times before extending two long limbs, “Thank you, Immortal Master, for the gracious gift!”

Then it reached into the room through the window and picked up the tea cup on the table.

This spectacle elicited gasps of surprise from two little girls.

“Wow, this big tree can actually talk!” Xiang Xiang exclaimed.

“And it can move too!” Nian Nian added.

As they spoke, the two girls stepped forward to gently touch the branches.

The tree spirit trembled slightly but did not shy away.

Because Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian were imbued with a rich Force of Nature, it made the tree spirit feel very comfortable.

“Big tree, what do you look like?” Xiang Xiang asked, tilting her head.

The tree spirit was silent for a moment before a cluster of blue light rose from the canopy and drifted into the room.

It was a woman dressed in a blue gown, only one meter in size, yet one could still tell she appeared to be in her thirties, similar to a member of the Human Clan.

Old Daoist Zhai’s eyes gradually widened, “You… you’re actually female?”

“What’s wrong? Can’t I be?” the tree spirit said with a smile.

Old Daoist Zhai recalled the times he bathed in the courtyard during the hot weather and suddenly didn’t quite know what to say.

“Ah, well, since I’ve seen it all, I might as well accept it!” Old Daoist Zhai sighed.

Blushing at these words, the tree spirit spat lightly, “Ptui, who cares to see you! Besides, as if you ever really bathed!”

The tree spirit’s words set off a roar of laughter in the room.

After that, the tree spirit respectfully bowed to Xue An and Huyue.

“Greetings to the two Immortal Masters!”

She then gave Xiao Sha a slight smile, “Jiaolong, long time no see!”

“You recognize me?” Xiao Sha was somewhat surprised.

“In Mount Qingmang, who does not recognize the once great Jiaolong, especially the awe-inspiring sight of your transformation into a dragon!”

Reminded of this flattering incident, Xiao Sha couldn’t help but wear a proud look on his face.

Xue An then said to the tree spirit, “So it seems you’ve been conscious for quite some time now?”

The tree spirit nodded, “For about a hundred years, but it was only a very vague awareness.”

“What’s with all the flowers, plants, fish, and insects on the mountain transforming into spirits recently?”

The tree spirit shook her head, “Immortal Master, I am not sure, I only felt a sudden change in the heavenly and earthly energies, and then I gained clear self-awareness!”

Xue An fell into a thoughtful silence.

Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian were already getting impatient, “Tree spirit sister, take us out to play! It’s so boring here!”

The tree spirit hesitated and looked at Xue An.

Xue An smiled and nodded, “Go ahead!”

Within the range of Xue An’s Divine Sense, the two girls would definitely be safe.

Moreover, the monsters of Mount Qingmang had only just transformed and posed no threat to the two young girls at all.
