Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 190 I Call You Aunt, You Call My Sister

It was already dark, and under the snowy night, the Iron River Valley at the end of the field of vision was brightly lit.

Jiang Yi, who had been busy all day, walked out of the cabin with her eyebrows rubbed, looked at the snowy scene under the night sky, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm done with my work..."

Leng Zhu followed him out, shrinking his neck because of the cold wind. He raised his little hand to take a breath of hot air, looked at the snow dumplings that had gained weight again, walked over and trimmed them carefully, and asked:

"Princess, where should we sleep at night? Go to the small building you mentioned, or stay here?"

Jiang Yi had never gotten off the ship since she arrived. It was also the first time she entered the Tiedong Mansion, so she didn't know the princess's arrangements. I wanted to ask, but the work on the ship was not finished, and the Crown Princess didn't know if she wanted to be lazy. Anyway, she disappeared without a trace, and she has never seen anyone until now.

"You should sleep here. Just ask Zuo Lingquan."

Jiang Yi talked about sleeping, and then thought about consummating the marriage at night.

If nothing else happens, tonight will be seriously wasted again. Jiang Yi didn't have any objections. Although it hurt a little at first yesterday, it felt quite comfortable afterwards. Hmm... It should be the kind of satisfaction that she has never had before, the kind that she could never dream of before.

However, Jiang Yi is a girl after all. Her natural reserve and upbringing since childhood made it impossible for her to adapt so quickly, and she was still a little nervous. She looked at Leng Zhu squatting on the bow of the boat, thought for a while and said:

"You sleep with me tonight. If Zuo Lingquan comes to see me, well... just say that I am asleep and have no time to see him."

Leng Zhu practiced the snow bird carefully and then said:

"Princess, I'm afraid you're overthinking. Why did Mr. Zuo come to see you at night? He should have gone to Miss Tang's place... then..."

At this point, Leng Zhu noticed a look behind her, staring coldly at the back of her head, as if thinking about 'how to marry off a maid like her who can't speak'.

!

Leng Zhu's expression froze, he retracted his hand happily, and glanced back:

"Hehe... Well, I mean Mr. Zuo is considerate and never disturbs the princess's rest. Tang Jingxuan doesn't have to sleep at night, so he goes to her. I can't tell if he goes to his aunt... I don't have any other meaning."

Jiang Yi half-squinted her eyes, examined Leng Zhu for a moment, and hummed softly:

"That's all, I can't count on you."

Leng Zhu made a mistake for a moment, knowing that he had offended the princess, so he tried to remedy the situation and said:

"If the princess wants to see Young Master Zuo, do you want me to give you a subtle hint?"

"No, why should I see him? I'm so tired after a long day..."

Jiang Yi didn't want to talk more about this topic and looked at the big snowball on the bow:

"A snowman is made of three balls stacked together. What's the point of stacking such a big ball?"

As he said this, he also walked over, gathered the snowflakes on the deck, and built a snowman himself.

Leng Zhu opened her mouth and wanted to explain that the dumplings she piled were just dumplings. However, she was not good at making dumplings and they all looked like balls, so she was too embarrassed to explain and knelt down to help.

Jiang Yi grew up in the warm south, and this was the first time she encountered such heavy snow. Although she was usually calm and dignified, the playfulness in her heart was just suppressed by reason. At this time, she could relax after busy work and have fun. Quite happy.

Two girls in their twenties squatted together and worked hard for a while, and quickly piled up the prototype of a snowman; after staying in the wind and snow for a long time, their faces turned red from the cold.

Jiang Yi rubbed her little hands, secretly brewing, and was about to carve the snowman's head into a pig's head, but before she could start, she heard the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow by the small lake.

Chacha——

Looking back, Shangguan Lingye came from the veranda, wearing a golden shawl, hair with phoenix flowers and pearl hairpins, walking lightly like a noble lady enjoying the snow in the courtyard.

Both Jiang Yi and Leng Zhu finished their work and saw the Empress Dowager coming slowly, they didn't know how to evaluate it, of course, they helped each other, and they were also embarrassed to be dissatisfied.

They quickly stopped their childish actions and greeted:

"The Crown Princess."

Shangguan Lingye spent the whole day wandering around Tiedong Mansion, recalling Zuo Lingquan's chest attack in the afternoon. Hearing the greeting, she collected her thoughts and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work. The house has been tidied up and the disciples have prepared food. You can just go and stay in the back house."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly: "Then let's go down first. If you need anything, please let me know at any time."

Leng Zhu was a little reluctant to part with the snowman that he had built right away, but as a palace maid, she did not dare to act recklessly in front of the princess and concubine, so she ran off in a well-behaved manner.

After Shangguan Lingye watched the two people leave, he turned and walked towards the cabin, preparing to do some business of the Demon Hunting Company in order to clear away his somewhat chaotic thoughts.

But when he turned around, his eyes rested on the half-stacked snowman.

Shangguan Lingye was about to comment, "How old are you to be so childish", but before the words came out, his thoughts paused, and even his eyes became a little confused.

Snowmen are very common, not to mention the children in the city streets of the capital, but also the maids in the palace and the young disciples of the Iron Manor Mansion. They like to pile snow into various shapes on snowy days. It seems that this is a necessary part of the childhood of mortals.

Shangguan Lingye thought about it carefully, but couldn't find similar memories.

She was born in this house, and it seems that she has been separated from these low-level interests from the moment she can remember; every day is about practicing, and during her short childhood, the only peers she can remember are those who have outstanding talents and need to catch up. There is nothing else in mind.

In the past, I felt that I was sensible early, and this is how cultivation should be; but now I think about it, it's a pity, after all, she can practice cultivation at any time, but her ignorant childhood days can never go back.

Shangguan Lingye shook his head secretly. He didn't expect that he would worry about gains and losses because of a snowman; but this kind of regret is not uncomfortable, nor is it irreparable.

After staring at the snowman for a moment, she slowly walked up to him, raised her white jade hands, and carefully sketched the snowman's appearance.

With just a few strokes, the snowman's eyebrows, eyes, and corners of his mouth appeared...

It looks like a man.

Shangguan Lingye blinked his clear eyes, maybe remembering the offended scene in the afternoon, and was a little dissatisfied. He raised his hand and rubbed it a few times, and then re-outlined the appearance of a woman.

The outline is very detailed, and even the charm of Shangguan Patriarch is revealed.

After Shangguan Lingye finished building the snowman, he looked at it for a few times before returning to the cabin with satisfaction...

————

Being in the Iron Mansion, Wu Qingwan did not dare to practice for too long. After assisting Zuo Lingquan to fill up the True Qi, he left the stone room first.

Zuo Lingquan practiced his sword alone on the lotus platform. When night fell, he calmed down and walked out of the Cave Mansion where he practiced.

Shangguan Lingye's residence is quite large, but there are very few people living there. It is extremely quiet at night and can only hear the sound of wind and snow.

Zuo Lingquan walked along the verandah and walked slowly to the back house. From a distance, he saw Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingxuan sitting together in the window of a side room, chatting about trivial matters.

There was a snowball rolling around on the corridor fence outside the room. After noticing his appearance, it flew over and landed on his shoulder. It called out "chichichi~" twice and then opened its beak. .

Zuo Lingquan smiled, took out a piece of dried fruit and put it into the dumpling's mouth, then kneaded the soft dumpling and walked to the room.

Tang Jingxun, who was chatting, maybe because he was afraid that Jiang Yi would be jealous, saw Zuo Lingquan coming over and said:

"The princess is still busy on the boat in the front house. Please go over and take a look."

"Yeah?"

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan stopped disturbing the two women and turned towards the front house.

As soon as I walked near the hanging flower door, I heard footsteps and whispers coming from the corridor separated by the wall:

"... When he comes over in the evening, just don't open the door. Be brave and don't turn your elbows out. If he says a word, just open the door honestly."

"How could it be possible? I am the princess's maid... However, Mr. Zuo came to see the princess at night, which means that he has the princess in his heart. It wouldn't be good if he didn't see her, right?"

"If you want to see it, go see it yourself."

"good."

"Um?"

"Uh...just kidding..."

…

Zuo Lingquan stood inside the hanging flower door. Just after hearing a few words, he saw Jiang Yi walking in with a serious face and a sideways glance at Leng Zhu.

Leng Zhu shrank his neck and looked down at the ground weakly, not daring to speak. When he saw him standing behind the door, his eyes lit up slightly and he quickly saluted:

"Master Zuo, you are here."

Jiang Yi's expression froze slightly, and she wasn't sure if the conversation just now was heard. At this time, she could only pretend that nothing was said. She returned to her usual calm expression, turned to look at Zuo Lingquan, frowned and said:

"Aren't you practicing? What are you doing here?"

"Gee~"

Tuanzi stood on his shoulders, spread his little wings and made a hugging gesture, probably saying "I'm here to pick you up~".

It's a pity that Zuo Lingquan is not as good at flirting as Tuanzi. He just walked up to him with a smile and took Jiang Yi's hand:

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Yi's hands shrank subconsciously. The more guilty she felt, the more she maintained her momentum and hummed softly:

"Are you in charge?"

Leng Zhu calmly walked to the other side of Zuo Lingquan and responded in a low voice:

"Princess has been busy all day today. Seeing that it's getting late, she wanted me to say hello to Mr. Zuo so that you don't have to come over to visit and rest early."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly and pulled Jiang Yi towards the back house:

"Thank you for your concern, princess. It's getting a little late. Let's go and rest."

When Jiang Yi saw Zuo Lingquan pulling her toward the back house, she understood what he meant and looked a little reserved. With Leng Zhu in front of her, she wanted to agree or not, but she didn't feel comfortable speaking, so she could only say tactfully:

"Auntie is here, I..."

"I have spoken to Senior Wu."

"...?"

Jiang Yi's eyes widened slightly and she looked at Zuo Lingquan, feeling very embarrassed.

Zuo Lingquan was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, we have to know that our names are legitimate, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about." As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Yi to the courtyard where she stayed.

Leng Zhu followed him with blank eyes. He didn't understand what he heard and asked curiously:

"what did you say?".

Tuanzi also tilted his head and looked at the two Riddlers.

Zuo Lingquan opened the door, pushed Jiang Yi in, and looked at Leng Zhu:

"Leng Zhu, where will you sleep tonight?"

"..."

Leng Zhu understood the meaning this time, his cheeks turned red, he silently took the dumplings, then went out and closed the door with his hand.

Jiang Yi saw that the personal palace maid did not protect the master at all, and sold her without saying a word, and said in embarrassment:

"Leng Zhu! Come back!"

"okay."

Leng Zhu lowered his head and responded weakly, then walked into the room again, threw the dumplings out, and continued to close the door.

"grumble?!"

Jiang Yi didn't expect Leng Zhu to be so 'sensible'. She pursed her lips and said again:

"You kicked him out and we were sleeping. Why did you keep him in the room?"

What can Leng Zhu say? She looked at Zuo Lingquan with a red face:

"Master Zuo, do you have anything else to do?"

Zuo Lingquan is indeed busy. He has to use "Azure Lotus Serious" to help Jiang Yi improve her cultivation, but it's hard to explain this clearly. He raised his hand to light the lamp in the bedroom, picked up Princess Jiang Yi, and walked to the back room:

"Yes, I have something to talk to the princess about."

"Zuo Lingquan!"

Jiang Yi panicked a little, hooked her hand around Zuo Lingquan's neck, swung her embroidered shoes in the air twice, and said shyly:

"You are so presumptuous! I am the princess and you are the consort. You...you should pay attention to your status."

Leng Zhu's face turned red and he didn't dare to interrupt. He silently ran to the back room, dutifully spread the quilt on the embroidered bed, and then bowed:

"Princess, Prince Consort, I'm going out first. You guys should rest early."

As he spoke, he ran out the door without looking back, picked up Tuanzi who was kicking the door with his little paws, and ran to another yard.

Jiang Yi just consummated her marriage to Zuo Lingquan yesterday, so she would definitely not be used to having Leng Zhu waiting by her side today. When she heard the footsteps getting further away, the embarrassment on her face faded a little, and she raised her hand and lightly slapped Zuo Lingquan on the shoulder:

"Put me down!"

"As commanded."

When Zuo Lingquan heard the sound, he let go of his hand and threw Jiang Yi directly on the embroidery bed.

"You...I haven't taken a bath yet, you..."

"It just so happens that I don't have it either. Let's wash it together."

"Huh?! Yeah..."

…

——

After the battle at the Sword Worship Platform, the waves created did not recede. Instead, they grew bigger and bigger as the three-day time limit approached.

The first competition was a private fight between Yunshui Jiantan and Zuo Lingquan. After hearing the news, all those who came to watch the excitement were idlers. They did not expect that the Nine Sects Alliance would be able to produce such a dark horse this time. After wiping out Qing Kui's astonishing performance with just one sword, he rushed back and had already left.

Therefore, the second one-on-one challenge against the Nine Sects must not be missed again. Not only the high-level monks from the Great Yan Dynasty came after hearing the news, but also the experts from the Immortal Family outside the Great Yan Dynasty showed their Divine Abilities and came to the Iron River Valley, waiting for this This may be the beginning of the battle for fame of 'Nine Sects' First Prodigy'.

In order to prevent the experts from waiting too much, Yaowang Pagoda and Fulongshan even joined forces to build a temporary magic circle next to the sword worship platform, which could quickly repair injuries and replenish spiritual energy. Originally, the formations would be displayed during the winter solstice, but now they are displayed in advance.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and there were more and more people in the Iron River Valley, reaching the point where it was swamped; the Qingkui of each sect had also been sharpening their swords in the past few days, and they were all secretly discussing with their division commanders how to deal with "Jian Yi".

Zuo Lingquan knew that he was going to be targeted, so he naturally would not sit still and wait for death. He trained in the house for three days without leaving home, sparring and practicing with Shangguan Lingye, and became familiar with Qingkui's fighting style.

To say it was a sparring match is an understatement. To be precise, it was a one-sided beating.

Shangguan Lingye and Zuo Lingquan were in a one-on-one duel, but they were not going to push their limits. In addition, they were pretending to be Tang Jingxun, and they couldn't steal the chicken and put their breasts in. They felt a little dissatisfied, so they didn't show mercy at all and directly tortured Zuo Lingquan to death.

Although Zuo Lingquan didn't even touch the corner of his skirt, under the tremendous pressure of invincibility, he made rapid progress, and gradually mastered the essentials of the strange art he learned.

After the daily competition, Zuo Lingquan True Qi was exhausted, so he went to Qi Refining in the stone room with the help of Qingwan; at night, he helped Jiang Yi practice; in his spare time, he could tease Jingxun and Tuanzi, and it can be said that he strictly managed everyone. In every second, practice and life are balanced.

I practiced with Jiang Yi a few times, although Zuo Lingquan didn't say it clearly, but Jiang Yi obviously felt that her cultivation base was like flying, and she reached the tenth level of Qi Refining in just two days.

Jiang Yi was surprised by such exaggerated progress. After confirming that it was not an illusion, she asked Zuo Lingquan if the gap in talent between them was too big.

Zuo Lingquan was able to truthfully explain how he obtained a book of cultivation techniques, because Wanwan wanted to confess to herself and not allow him to interfere, so he did not elaborate on how he obtained it.

Jiang Yi was pleasantly surprised when she learned about it, but she heard that the gap was too big. Zuo Lingquan could only help her practice. He couldn't improve himself, so he wouldn't be allowed to touch it for the time being.

Three days passed quickly. Zuo Lingquan finished recharging his energy and set off alone early in the morning to the sword worship platform.

It was not easy for the girls to follow him around, so he and Shangguan Lingye set off behind to watch the battle in the stands of Tiedong Mansion.

The sword worshiping platform is right outside the gate of Tiedong Mansion. There is no need to take the boat. A few people followed Shangguan Lingye on foot along the trail to the cliff behind the sword worshiping platform.

The winding road behind the cliff is Profound Transcendence, covered with white snow on both sides, and the noise of thousands of monks can be heard in the distance.

Shangguan Lingye walked in the front, with Tuanzi who had not yet woken up lying on his shoulders; Leng Zhu and Tang Jingxuan walked in the middle.

Wu Qingwan and Jiang Yi walked at the end, enjoying the snow scenery along the way and putting some distance between themselves and the three people in front.

Wu Qingwan slowed down and walked behind Jiang Yi, naturally not to admire the vast white snow. Ever since she started practicing with Zuo Lingquan, she felt a weight in her heart. She felt sorry for Jiang Yi, whom she regarded as her own child, and she had been looking for an opportunity to confess.

Now that Zuo Lingquan and Jiang Yi have become cooked rice, it is impossible to be separated; Jiang Yi knows the principle of the technique and should be able to understand her original intention. It is time to make this matter clear.

It just so happened that Zuo Lingquan was competing today. If she won consecutive battles and was overjoyed, Jiang Yi would be angry with her and her emotions would be diluted by the joy. If she accidentally lost, Jiang Yi had always understood the general situation and would not blame Zuo Lingquan if she lost. If you want to scold her as an aunt, you will scold her lightly.

In general, it's better to confess now.

Wu Qingwan has not yet decided whether to say it right away or wait until the fight is over.

Logically speaking, it would be better to confess immediately. Zuo Lingquan will start fighting later. No matter how angry Jiang Yi is, she will be distracted and watch the fight. Maybe she will calm down after the fight.

Wu Qingwan walked slowly on the path. She wanted to speak several times, but she swallowed her words again. After all, this matter is really immoral. When a man steals his niece from his aunt, he still finds a high-sounding excuse. Just thinking about it feels too much.

Let’s just say that I like Zuo Lingquan…it feels even more exaggerated.

well……

Wu Qingwan's steps became slower and slower, and she didn't dare to look back at Jiang Yi's face. She kept trying to cheer herself up, to show off the courage she had used to convince Zuo Lingquan, and to dare to act.

Jiang Yi was wearing a fiery red dress, walking behind Wu Qingwan, her eyes wandering on Wu Qingwan's perfectly curved hip line, her mind was a little wandering, still thinking about consummating the marriage and improving her cultivation in the past two days.

The two of them walked like this without saying a word, but neither of them noticed anything was wrong.

When they immediately reached the top of the cliff and were about to see the crowded sword worship platform, the figures of Shangguan Lingye and others temporarily disappeared on the edge of the flat bottom.

Wu Qingwan knew that if she didn't say anything, she might never find an opportunity like today again. She clasped her hands on her waist, gritted her teeth secretly, stopped, and turned around:

"Jiang Yi."

"Um?"

Jiang Yi also came back to her senses, paused, looked at Aunt Feng Yun in front of her, and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"I……"

Wu Qingwan tried her best to look calm and gentle, but her heart was in a mess. She opened her mouth and asked with concern:

"Why are you a little distracted? Are you worried?"

Jiang Yi's face turned red, her eyes averted, she looked at the snow-covered bushes beside the road, and said with a smile:

"It's nothing... I'm just thinking about Zuo Lingquan, um... Auntie, I consummated our marriage with him, you know, right?"

Wu Qingwan's eyelashes were trembling, her hands were clasped together, and she said softly:

"He told me that it would be good if we finally got married, um...hehe..."

Jiang Yi held a branch of a shrub with fallen leaves in her hand, her expression slightly embarrassed, and she said:

"Auntie, I found out that when I was with him...with him or something, my cultivation improved very fast. In just a few days, I reached Qi Refining 10th level...He has a book of exercises that can make me practice faster too. ."

Wu Qingwan was so nervous that her mind almost turned into mush, and she said softly:

"Just practice quickly, that skill...is...is..."

"He got it from the outside." Jiang Yi didn't dare to look into her aunt's eyes, and said nervously: "Well... it seems that all women can use it, I think... didn't I chat with my aunt before? In this world, my aunt is the only person around me, if I want to live forever, I have to live together, otherwise it is better to go back to Great Dan together, if I leave my aunt behind, then longevity is meaningless..."

"..."

When Wu Qingwan heard these words, she didn't dare to speak again.

But I felt sorry for Jiang Yi if she didn't speak. She gritted her teeth secretly and said:

"As long as you have this intention, I...it doesn't matter whether I live forever or not. As long as you and Zuo Lingquan can practice smoothly, I will be worthy of your mother."

"How can that be done?" Jiang Yi shook her head gently, twirled the branches with her fingers, and continued:

"It is impossible for me to leave you alone and live forever, and Zuo Lingquan will definitely not let you go... Auntie, you are already forty years old, and you are only at the second level of Linggu. If you don't speed up your cultivation, you will become a perfected being in a few years... "

"Um?"

Wu Qingwan blinked, a little confused.

Jiang Yi felt that this was a bit awkward to say, but she was even more afraid of losing the people around her one day. She turned around, held Wu Qingwan's hand, and said softly:

"Auntie, I know that you have a quiet and conservative personality. You have never found a Taoist partner so far, and you are not interested in things between men and women..."

Who says I'm not interested...

no……

Wu Qingwan stared at Qiushui, looking at Jiang Yi in front of her, a little at a loss:

"Jiang Yi, you...what you said..."

"I know this is too rebellious."

Jiang Yi held Wu Qingwan's hand that was shaking slightly with anger and said seriously and firmly:

"In the past when we were chatting in Phoenix Phoenix Valley, you said that you can improve your cultivation base by forming a Taoist partner with an extremely talented person; I wanted you to try it at the time, but I didn't confirm it at that time, so I dared not speak. Now I practiced with Zuo Lingquan and found that it does have this effect, and the effect is much greater than my aunt thought... and my aunt's five elements belong to wood, so she is more suitable for Zuo Lingquan than me..."

? !

Wu Qingwan was stunned.

Jiang Yi secretly glanced at Wu Qingwan and saw that Wu Qingwan's eyes were filled with astonishment. She was not surprised and quickly raised her hand to hug her and said seriously:

"Auntie, don't be angry. We grew up together. I... I can't watch you die of old age. If you want to live forever, you can live together. It's really embarrassing for you and Zuo Lingquan, but you can just practice with him Yes, it should...should not be difficult."

"I……"

Wu Qingwan's nose was sore, and she should answer "How can I do this?" and pretended to be, and then refused repeatedly, reluctantly agreeing; but at this moment, she couldn't pretend at all, she opened her mouth and said:

"Me... Ling Quan and I..."

"I know it's impossible, and Zuo Lingquan is not good enough for you. If it wasn't for being able to help my aunt practice, I wouldn't give him the chance to get close to my aunt...but what if he doesn't agree to this..."

How could he not agree...

Wu Qingwan didn't know what she was thinking. She pursed her lips for a long time before saying in a voice as quiet as a mosquito:

"I...I'm your aunt. Although I'm not related by blood, I just call her by name, but...how will I count in the future?"

Jiang Yi felt that Wu Qingwan actually wanted to relent, and was very surprised; but she couldn't see Wu Qingwan's expression while holding her in her arms, so she wasn't sure if she felt wrong. She said seriously:

"Practice Tao doesn't care about age, people within the first year of life are considered peers, and the imperial concubine is eighty years older than me, so she treats each other as sisters in private... Well, as long as my aunt agrees, we can go our separate ways from now on. I call you aunt, you call me sister..."

"Um?"

"Uh... it should be my sister, huh?"

"Oh...this is all a mess. Jiang Yi, I...I'm not as good as you think, I..."

"How my aunt treats me, I have been watching since I was a child. If you don't improve your cultivation, you will really become a yellow-faced woman in a few years. If you want to rejuvenate, it is not easier than longevity. What shall we do then? It’s better to make a quick decision and improve your cultivation now…”

The more Jiang Yi said this, the more guilty Wu Qingwan felt. She hugged Jiang Yi and opened and closed her lips, but she didn't know how to explain it so as not to disappoint Xiao Nizi in her arms.

The two of them were pulling back and forth, obviously not paying attention to the time.

Above the cliff, a few people who had already stepped onto the ground realized that the two of them were lagging behind and had not come back. Tang Jingxuan turned around again and looked down suspiciously:

"Qingwan...eh? What are you doing holding me?"

"Ji~?"

Wu Qingwan and Jiang Yi hurriedly separated, both arranging their hair to cover up their messy emotions.

Jiang Yi glanced at Wu Qingwan and said softly: "Auntie, think about it carefully." Then she ran up the cliff quickly.

Wu Qingwan looked at Jiang Yi's back, her mature face full of tangles. She hesitated for a long time, then followed her with small steps, feeling ashamed...
