Chapter 809: Chapter 12: Subduing the Cyan Flood Dragon! Liyao Enters the World

"Haha~" Senior Sister Lvwei mercilessly mocked, "I bet Junior Brother Jinshan is usually too sleazy, even the White Jade Spirit Peony fears the tragic fate of becoming a woman."

"I’m wronged, Senior Sister Lvwei, I’m wronged~~" Senior Brother Jinshan cried incessantly, "I’ve cared for her meticulously every day, pouring my heart out to her every night. How could she treat me this way? The saddest thing in life can’t be worse than this."

Poured out his heart to a spirit plant every night? How lonely must he be...

Wang Zong’an looked at Senior Brother Jinshan strangely, simply unable to comprehend.

If he’s so lonely, why not just find a human senior sister or junior sister for romance?

Wang Zong’an clearly remembered that all the senior sisters and junior sisters in the Academy smiled like flowers and were so warm that, if he wanted, they’d be happy to date~

If not for his family having already arranged a marriage for him, perhaps he would already be pursuing a passionate romance with a beloved senior sister.

Sigh~ Couldn’t understand why Senior Brother Jinshan had a peculiar fondness for falling in love with spirit plants!

Feeling a bit exasperated inside, Wang Zong’an still decided to speak well of Senior Brother Jinshan because he had helped him countless times.

Fortunately, Senior Sister Lvwei was willing to give Wang Zong’an this face and let Senior Brother Jinshan off easily, sending him away.

Afterward, Lvwei and Wang Zong’an sat in her rose-filled courtyard drinking tea and discussing matters.

A long while later.

Wang Zong’an said, "That’s father’s intention. The new product plants will still be listed under your name."

"Junior Brother Shouzhe is overly cautious. Zong’an, do you know what rumors are out there?" Senior Sister Lvwei rolled her eyes, "Many people outside say that Junior Brother Shouzhe and I have a relationship, and that you, Wang Zong’an, are actually my son... Hence, I spared no effort in creating many high-quality spirit seeds to support the Wang Family."

"Ahem~" Wang Zong’an felt embarrassed and hastily stood up to apologize, "Sorry for the inconvenience, Senior Sister Lvwei. But now the Wang Family is growing stronger, and my father for..."

"Enough~ enough~ If I really cared, I wouldn’t be saying this now." Senior Sister Lvwei said lightheartedly, "I have no parents, they can say what they want. Besides, I quite like Junior Brother Shouzhe. I still look forward to having a child with him. Who knows, we might birth a Celestial Pride Bloodline."

"..."

Wang Zong’an’s mouth twitched, lowering his head speechlessly, thinking, Senior Sister, even if you have intentions for my father, could you not say it in front of me? Please consider the feelings of me as his son, will you?

"As for borrowing people from Eternal Spring Valley, it’s possible, but it depends on their own willingness. Additionally, your Wang Family must pay them according to the rules." Senior Sister Lvwei continued, "I think Jinshan would be very happy. He owes me too much money."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lvwei, for making this happen." Wang Zong’an gratefully saluted.

After receiving a satisfactory response from Lvwei, Wang Zong’an was impatiently sent away by Lvwei, who didn’t like socializing.

Also borrowed was Senior Sister Lvwei’s Earth Bracelet. Lvwei recently had been cooped up in Eternal Spring Valley for research, focusing on cultivation and honing her cultivation with hopes of ascending to the Purple Mansion Realm early, finding the bracelet dispensable.

Afterward.

Wang Zong’an went to visit the Longevity Tree, expressing his gratitude for having made his "beloved daughter" his Lifebound Spirit Plant and taking good care of it. However, without the Earth Bracelet, it was inconvenient to bring her over.

He promised that he would bring his Longevity Tree to visit the old Longevity Tree someday.

The Longevity Tree was naturally relieved, saying, "Old me didn’t entrust it to the wrong person."

His use of "old me" made Wang Zong’an secretly vigilant, feeling that he must give his Longevity Tree psychological construction someday to prevent it from transforming to something grizzled and rugged at Tier Nine, which would be undesirable.

As for using Spirit Plant Transformation Pills at Tier Five, Wang Zong’an disdained to do so.

After all, although effective, those Spirit Plant Transformation Pills will damage the spirit plant’s foundation, making future ascension to Tier Seven or even Tier Nine exponentially difficult.

The White Jade Spirit Peony has limited talent and probably can’t advance to Tier Seven, but his Longevity Tree is exceptionally gifted, which he hoped would reach Tier Nine someday, where would he bear?

After wrapping up matters in Eternal Spring Valley, he deemed half of his tasks complete for this journey.

The other half was... "paying a visit" to the sister who had greatly influenced his growth process and whom he still revered and admired—Wang Liyao.

Broken Island in the Lake.

Shuiyun Pavilion.

This place is where the Primordial Water Spiritual Qi is most concentrated within the Yuan Water Celestial Lake, running richly in nature. Yet the small courtyard was built quite plainly, filled with a vibe of daily life, starkly different from the Yuan Water Pavilion of Yuan Shui Ascendant.

This was also where Wang Liyao was influenced by Wang Shouzhe.

For her daily living space, she always put comfort first. Her small courtyard even has a simple medicine field, mainly growing spirit plants and fruits favored by Primordial Water Spirit Turtle and Li Fire Sparrow.

In the courtyard, there’s also a pond and a nest specifically for the little ones, exuding a quaint and homey feel. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

If not seen in person, perhaps no one would believe that the renowned Great Celestial Pride Liyao of Longzuo Academy would have such a residence style.

Beneath the flower vine stand in the courtyard, Wang Liyao, dressed in a water-blue Sword Sleeve Robe, with a serene fairy-like demeanor, quietly finished reading her father’s letter. Her starry eyes flickered with a glint of excitement and eager anticipation.

"Prepared for thirty whole years, it’s finally about to begin. My [Xian Ge], has waited long enough."

She had successfully ascended to the Celestial Human Realm at the age of thirty-nine.

Now, almost thirty years had passed since she ascended to the Celestial Human Realm. With her Great Celestial Pride Grade B bloodline talent, her cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Celestial Human Realm long ago.

However, for her father’s plan, she had been honing her power, consolidating her foundation, acting very low-key, and besides diligently managing the Academy’s affairs, seldom showcasing her strength.

Now, her father’s plan finally initiated, and her sword was ready to reveal its edge.

"Clang!"

A crisp sword cry resonated.

A lively Top-Grade Treasure Sword, responding to Liyao’s aura, flew from her waist, circling around her as if it were a spiritual object.

The sword’s style was simple and rustic, with inscriptions on the blade just slightly blurred, yet none of which overshadowed its majesty.

With its swirling motion, a misty cyan light streamed from its blade, carrying mysterious and unfathomable elegance and majesty.

Amid the sword’s trembling, a childlike, clear and pleasant voice akin to the melody of Xian Ge emerged from within the sword, "Liyao elder sister, finally it’s my turn~~ So happy, so happy~~"

This was...

Sword Spirit—Xian Ge!

With the sword’s cry, Wang Liyao’s imposing presence also surged like water soul lightning, resembling endless azure tides, exuding power.

Her sparkling starry eyes flashed lightning.

Witnessing this, Wang Zong’an felt both awe and admiration.

Indeed, sister is sister, the sheer momentum is beyond compare to regular Celestial Human Realm cultivators. Even he, who is also a Great Celestial Pride, felt inferior.

This trip, sister will surely not disappoint father.

As the saying goes, "A sharp sword is honed, fragrant plum blossoms come after bitter cold."

Years devoted to honing one sword, it emerges, dazzling all.
