Chapter 22: Encounter with the Saintess of the Demon Race

Shouldn't the priority now be to break off the engagement? Even if she possesses a pure yang body, without primordial yin, she’s far from flawless. That would seriously hinder my brother’s cultivation progress! But if my brother truly likes her, true love can overcome anything.

When Snow Cloud Fairy heard that she had casually picked a book from the library to read, she was speechless and said, “Where would there be such books for little kids to read?”

Jiang Wan didn’t realize she had almost made her own father take the blame.

Jiang Wan was delighted; this was doable, and she truly enjoyed helping others.

Seeing Jiang Wan finish speaking, Master Nanchen hurriedly carried her away.

Today’s marriage was out of the question. That boy from Chuzhou was definitely backing out. The Nangong family sure knew how to get something for nothing.

Jiang Wan wanted to see what happened next but was taken away.

“Don’t leave yet, stay and watch.”

Master Nanchen carried her far away.

“Stop watching! Your brother’s darkest moments in love—just give him some face! By the way, how did you figure out she has lost her primordial yin?”

Jiang Wan tilted her head. Could she tell him?

“I just saw it with my own eyes, didn’t I?”

Master Nanchen stared curiously into her eyes. Could he really tell if someone had lost primordial yin just by looking?

“Well, your eyesight is really sharp. But don’t look anymore, especially don’t stare at people’s stomachs—it’s rude! The important thing is, even if you do see something, don’t say it out loud, or you’ll be hunted down!”

Jiang Wan nodded in understanding and took out an unfinished chicken leg, wanting to nibble on it. Master Nanchen couldn’t stand her.

“Don’t eat the chicken leg. I’ll take you to pick spirit fruits.”

Jiang Wan immediately nodded, her eyes sparkling.

“I love spirit fruits too, but I have to finish this chicken leg first. Waste not, want not!”

Master Nanchen was helpless with her.

“Eat, eat, hurry up and finish it!”

The two of them picked a bunch of fruits resembling crabapples—sweet, crisp, and juicy, and good for the body.

By the time they returned, Chuzhou had already broken off his engagement with Nangong Shuyin. Jiang Yao rushed over and was shocked by the news.

“That’s not right. In my past life, after Chuzhou married Nangong Shuyin, although the Wanfu Sect lost a spiritual vein, I obtained the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl from her. With the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl, I could easily pass through the fierce winds and was the first to reach that ancient cave to seize the opportunity. I have been reincarnated—so why did they break off the engagement?”

Spotting Chen Yao passing by, she quickly asked:

“Senior Brother Chen Yao, how did my brother and Fairy Shuyin’s engagement end?”

Chen Yao came over afterward.

“I’m not sure either.”

Jiang Yao pressed on:

“Then, where was Junior Sister Jiang Wan when my brother broke the engagement?”

Chen Yao actually knew.

“Oh, you mean Junior Sister Wanwan? At that time, she was being taken by Master Nanchen to the back mountain to pick spirit fruits. Look, she’s just back now.”

Jiang Yao saw Master Nanchen carrying Jiang Wan and breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn’t because of Jiang Wan, it was fine.

Could it be the butterfly effect brought about by her own reincarnation?

No, she had to talk to her brother—how could he break off the engagement with Nangong Shuyin?

Jiang Wan, carried by Master Nanchen flying through the sky, didn’t pay attention as Jiang Yao hurried away. She had gained so much today.

Seeing Chen Yao, Jiang Wan took out a spirit fruit and offered it.

“Senior Brother, have some spirit fruit. I picked so many.”

Master Nanchen looked speechless as she handed it over but was generous enough to explain the effects of the Scarlet Vermilion Fruit.

Chen Yao accepted the fruit and smiled when he realized it could enhance physical strength.

Master Nanchen was truly generous, bringing Junior Sister along to pick the Scarlet Vermilion Fruits that he had cultivated for three hundred years before they bore fruit.

“These fruits are excellent. Thank you, Junior Sister.”

Jiang Wan glanced at the pearls in her backpack. She already had the Poison Avoidance Pearl and the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl. Once she collected seven…

Meanwhile, Jiang Yao approached Chuzhou, who was preparing to continue his secluded cultivation.

“Brother, why did you break off the engagement with Fairy Shuyin? You should have married her. Only her constitution matches yours perfectly. Didn’t you like her very much before?”

Chuzhou looked at the little girl who barged into his room—just the same age as Wanwan—but she spoke with an air of authority. Was she questioning him?

Though he knew she was extraordinary, compared to Wanwan, he still preferred his own sister.

“I’m going into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation. These are adult matters you children need not worry about. Now, leave!”

Chuzhou unleashed a red spiritual force and sent her out, slamming the door with a “boom.”

Jiang Yao stomped her foot in frustration. If they didn’t marry, how could she get the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl wrapped in the Spirit-Avoidance Stone from Shuyin?

She tried to follow, but Nangong Shuyin and the others had already disappeared.

Her Wind-Stabilizing Pearl—she was furious.

Three days later, the Great Wan Sect came to collect the disciples.

Master Nanchen frowned, holding Jiang Wan as usual.

“The Great Wan Sect is coming too early. Let’s go. From today on, you’ll be training with Liu Huo and the others at the Great Wan Sect. But don’t worry, I’ll come visit you often.”

Jiang Wan hadn’t expected them to arrive so soon. Didn’t they say it would be a few more months?

Master Nanchen carried her to the main hall, where Jiang Yao and little Liu Huo were also present. Seeing her carried by her brother, Liu Huo pouted in jealousy.

Snow Cloud Fairy waved, beckoning Jiang Wan over and introduced her to the middle-aged beautiful lady before them.

“Fairy Nischang, this is my biological daughter, Jiang Wan. This time, the Wanfu Sect will send only these three. Since they are young, may I accompany them personally?”

Fairy Nischang, who had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, was there personally to ensure the absolute safety of these children. She nodded upon hearing the request.

“Of course, you may. Then come with me!”

Without giving them much time to prepare, they were led directly to the Great Wan Sect.

Also heading to the Great Wan Sect were Dong Chen from the Wan Sword Sect and young Lu Zhiyi from the Wan Dan Sect.

Children aged three to seven were grouped together, but there were only three three-year-olds, and one of the little ones was crying and throwing a tantrum, wanting to go home.

Compared to them, she truly was not a three-year-old.

To ensure their safety during cultivation, they were taken to a specially prepared area on the back mountain of the Great Wan Sect’s main peak.

After the sect parents sent the children off, they could leave.

Jiang Wan’s ears were filled with the constant wailing of that three-year-old.

[You encounter the Holy Maiden of the Black Flame Demon Sect. Years ago, she went mad and slaughtered half of the Nangong family. Later she joined the Hehuan Sect, draining the primordial yang of countless male cultivators, wreaking havoc throughout the cultivation world. Wounded severely by the Nangong family’s elder, she vanished without a trace. Now you encounter her forcibly seizing a male cultivator. Intervene to stop her and punish her.
