Chapter 2556 - 2554: A Matrimonial Bond
Mortal Realm Liangshan Island, after the battle with the Heavenly Court, this place became famous in the Cultivation World, attracting numerous sects from nearby to pay their respects.
Long Fei excused himself to go into seclusion, leaving Chu Feng responsible for entertaining them.
The gifts from the visitors were accepted, and all other matters were declined.
The response from these sects was swift, some sect leaders even personally came, loudly demanding to join Liangshan Island.
Some wished to establish familial ties with Liangshan Island, claiming they wanted to betroth their daughters to Long Fei.
Some were rather arrogant, wanting Liangshan Island to submit to them, so they could then protect Liangshan Island.
The island was noisy and bustling, with the Little Demons feeling very proud, each acting like disciples of the Esoteric Sect Orthodoxy.
Originally a place where a motley crew gathered, it now showed some signs of a grand gathering of immortals.
Song Bohu even shouted, the current military might is formidable, the day of vengeance is near, eager to go to Yang Valley Pass for revenge now.
The island’s reconstruction projects are ongoing, with the waterway renovation below completed, and now the construction of the grand hall beginning.
These Demon Clan members don’t understand these tasks—pushing mountains and filling lakes is fine for them.
But having them construct grand halls is asking for the impossible.
Chu Feng seized this opportunity to announce to the Cultivation World, spreading news about the construction needs of Liangshan Island.
Offering a generous reward to recruit talent in this field, providing food and lodging, daily settlements, no credit allowed.
For a time, quite a few Mo Family disciples showed up to apply.
After Taibai Venus brought Zixuan down, the island was filled with noise, with piles of timber and bricks, constructions everywhere.
He stroked his beard with a light laugh, "This island doesn’t appear to be filled with demonic qi without order. Our task shouldn’t be difficult."
Zixuan sensibly replied, "I will follow the Noble Immortal’s instructions, and Zixuan will do her best to cooperate."
Taibai Venus looked at her with great interest, laughing as he led her down.
The two bore a majestic immortal aura, and as soon as they landed, flashes of purple light spread across the island.
The Little Demons, unaware of these matters, were currently high-spirited, looking discontentedly at everyone they met, immediately encircling the two and saying, "Old man, do you understand the rules? Dare to trespass on our Liangshan Island?"
Taibai Venus smiled warmly, "I’m here to request an audience with your Island Master, and I kindly ask you to inform him."
A Little Demon pointed towards the direction of the gate building, arrogantly said, "Can you see that gate building? That’s the South Heavenly Gate of our Liangshan Island. In the future, in case of business, you need to register there and wait for approval before you can enter."
The direction of the gate building was crowded with various colors of people.
As a group saw the two not queueing, they shouted at them, "Why are there people cutting in line?"
"We’ve been queuing here for three days, why don’t they have to queue?"
"Does your Liangshan Island allow backdoor entry?"
"We’re not satisfied, we want to go in too."
"..."
The crowd stirred up because of them.
The Little Demons urged, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and queue!"
Taibai Venus shook his head with a smile, just about to lead Zixuan to go.
At this time, a golden light came over, quickly blocking them, clasped his hands politely, saying, "Angels visiting, we failed to meet from afar. My father asked me to invite the two of you up the mountain, please do not blame us."
Zixuan’s eyes lit up when she saw him, happily introduced to Taibai Venus, "This is the son of the Island Master, Dragon Kirin."
Taibai Venus clasped his hands with a light smile, "So it’s this area’s young master, my greetings."
Little Kirin smiled and clasped his hands, "Greetings, greetings, Angels, please up the mountain!"
He led the way ahead to take the two up the mountain, which was also under renovation, with Little Demons opening up mountains and digging roads everywhere.
Occasionally, stones rolled down from above, rumbling continuously.
Taibai Venus casually asked, "It looks like you’re planning to settle here permanently?"
Little Kirin responded, "That’s right, we came from afar and finally found such a place to settle."
Taibai Venus laughed, "Indeed not easy, this place was originally just a deserted spot. With your reconstruction, it now has the aura of a Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Your father must be a high adept; otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a great scheme."
Little Kirin laughed, "The angel is absolutely correct, my father’s literary and martial prowess is rare in the Three Realms. Regarding this, I won’t be humble."
"Talented individuals need not be humble!"
Taibai Venus and Zixuan both laughed and went together to the mountain top.
Here now, peach blossoms bloomed, various immortal herbs and spiritual roots filled the ground.
Zixuan looked around surprised, "Isn’t this Jade and Green Pine Bonsai from our Hundred Flowers Palace?"
Little Kirin scratched his head, smirked and said to her, "Back then I saw this was good-looking and took it down on impulse. Putting it at your place would be a waste; look how well this bonsai matches the mountain scene."
"Stealing things with justification, huh?"
Zixuan gave him a sidelong glance, and after reaching a Bamboo Forest Cottage, Little Kirin invited Taibai Venus inside, leaving Zixuan to wait outside.
After a while, he retreated out, somewhat awkwardly asked Zixuan, "Why did you come down?"
Zixuan replied crossly, "I didn’t want to; it’s all because of this Noble Immortal, who dragged me down not knowing whose advice he heard."
Little Kirin touched his head and smiled, "Perhaps he saw we know each other and thought it easier to bring you down for negotiations!"
"I’m not familiar with you!"
Zixuan snorted, turned to stare at the bonsai in a garden.
Little Kirin introduced, "No need to look, all the flower pots here were taken from your Hundred Flowers Palace. If you’re angry, just take them all back!"
Zixuan caressed a petal, pursed her lips, "You’re right, the Heavenly Palace is empty, leaving them here is nicer."
Little Kirin plucked the flower and offered it to her, "If you like, you can come down often; I reckon after peace with the Heavenly Court, my father might get an official position there. Then we could be considered a family."
"Hmph, hmph, hmph!"
Zixuan twirled the flower in her hand, "I won’t be family with a thief."
"Also, stop picking flowers so casually; they are living beings too."
Zixuan placed the freshly picked flower stem onto a cut, and with a stroke of her finger, the cut healed.
She fiddled with the flower, happily saying, "See, aren’t they prettier on the branch?"
Little Kirin stared at her blankly, feeling that this girl’s smile was truly beautiful.
He didn’t know why, but he felt a very familiar sense when he first saw her.
Zixuan noticed his dumbfounded look, feeling shy from his gaze, her cheeks flushing instantly.
She glared at him and said coyly, "What are you looking at?"
Little Kirin blushed in embarrassment, apologizing, "Previously, I transformed into your likeness, almost ruining your reputation. Yet, you hold no grudge and even bring us messages, I truly feel remorseful. I owe you, just tell me, what can I do to repay you?"
As he finished his words, a group behind burst into laughter and teased, "How else can you repay? Of course, by marrying the sister-in-law!"
Little Kirin turned his head, seeing Little Bai and four others poking their heads from behind the hills.
Zixuan instantly felt like finding a hole to hide in, turning and flying down the mountain.
"You just wait for a beating!"
Little Kirin pointed at the four siblings, quickly following Zixuan down the mountain.
Little Bai popped his head out, looking afar and said, "It’s over, did we drive the future sister-in-law away?"
