Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 317 The Song and Dance Performance by King Yan and Xiao Jiang
Old Master Yan hummed in agreement and said in a deep voice, "To be honest, we did not expect Taiqing's combat strength to recover so quickly. Perhaps the military's methods of using the inscription to kill her are no longer very effective against her. I will submit a memorial to the higher authorities as soon as possible and ask them to come up with a contingency plan."

Soul cultivators are inherently an unstable factor in the cultivation world, and Taiqing's Heavenly Demon Banner is extremely lethal to mortals. It's only because she still requires some quality of living souls and doesn't indiscriminately collect souls that she has caused chaos and panic in the world long ago.

"The Celestial Master's Mansion's reaction this time is quite intriguing. I originally thought the old Celestial Master wouldn't hand it over, but I didn't expect that they also felt that the incomplete map was now a hot potato, and the benefits were not proportional to the risks, so they found a way to give it away."

"Yes." Duan Huaige nodded secretly. If the old Celestial Master hadn't told him about the new Luo Tian Grand Ceremony mode in advance and hinted that he should study the Longhu Mountain formation more, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through Zhang Tianshi's final conspiracy so quickly in the causal formation.

"Grandpa, don't you think it's time to retrieve that fragment of the Shu Mountain map?" Duan Huaige asked. "Are you going to send me to Shu Mountain next?"

I haven't been focusing on cultivating my Spring and Autumn Sword Intent much. If I really want to go to Mount Shu, I might consider having Miss Frostfall teach me personally.

"Shushan." Old Master Yan paused for a moment, then pondered, "Shushan's current situation is a bit special. A few days ago, they directly cut off Shushan's access to the secular world. This time, the Celestial Master's Mansion invited many sects in the cultivation world to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, but there was no response. I don't know what happened."

Duan Huaige was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Did this timing coincide with the Old Celestial Master's decision to launch the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?

Lacking sufficient information, Duan Huaige couldn't deduce anything useful from just one sentence, so he simply changed the subject:

"Ahem. Grandpa, what about my reward?"

"Don't worry, you'll get your share! From now on, we're all family, no need for formalities!" Old Master Yan said with great generosity.

After all, no matter whether Qiuqiu or Shuangjiang wins in the end, you'll still have to call me grandpa!
"Alright, alright, I need quite a lot, so you'll have to ask me for as much as possible."

Before she could finish speaking, Duan Huaige's door was quietly pushed open, revealing a pretty face that could be both charming and playful. Miss Qiu Xi peeked out, blinked, and asked:
"What family? I think I just heard my grandfather's voice?"

Duan Huaige was startled, but pretended to be calm and hung up the phone, asking in confusion, "How could that be? I was just chatting with my mom."

"So you were chatting with Mom," Miss Qiu Xi said as she pushed open the door and walked in, naturally sitting down beside Duan Huaige's bed.

Duan Huaige thought to himself, "Isn't it a little too natural for you to call me 'Mom'?"

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious! Tell me, what mischief have you gotten yourself into this time, trying to drag me down with you?

"Qiuqiu, what are you preparing for...?"

Seeing that Duan Huaige was quite wary of her incredible prank-making abilities, Yan Qiuxi smiled slightly and dispelled Duan Huaige's nervousness with a few words:
“Oh dear, Brother Huaige, you have a rather strong stereotype about me.” Yan Qiuxi said, “I originally thought the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony was a ranking competition, so in order to avoid us fighting each other, Sister Xiao Jiang and I reluctantly did not sign up, and in the end, we let A Jiang accompany you through the entire trial.”

Duan Huaige glanced at Prince Yan and thought to himself, "If you're going to be a coward, Miss Shuangjiang, just say you're a coward. Why make it sound like some kind of internal strife?"

"My sister Jiang and I feel very ashamed about this. We are determined to make it up to you when you come back. In addition, you turned the tide in the secret realm and saved the world from disaster. We should at least give you a welcome-back banquet and hold a celebration banquet."

"Celebration party?"

"Yes! We'll secretly host a banquet for you, without Qin Shuangjiang's knowledge. Cangling will drink with you, and Xiao Jiang and I will perform some talents to liven things up!"

"Oh? Perform a talent?" Duan Huaige became interested: "What talent? You don't mean I have to cosplay as a wooden figure for half an hour, and Xiao Jiang will draw a sketch of me on the spot, do you?"

"How could that be!" Yan Qiuxi patted her chest, and Xuezi trembled slightly. "How can a celebration banquet be without singing and dancing? Little Jiang will sing, and I'll dance. I guarantee you, Brother Huaige, will feel right at home!" "Little Jiang will sing? You'll dance?" Duan Huaige looked at her with suspicion. "What kind of dance can you do?"

“Ethnic dance~” King Yan casually gestured with his slender figure: “You have so many talents, ladies.”

"Wearing clothes or not wearing clothes?"

"How do you know what ethnicity someone is if they're not wearing clothes?" Yan Qiuxi blinked, her eyes sparkling. "Does brother want to see people without clothes?"

"Don't accuse me wrongly, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh dear, brother, you're being distant with me. You're a hero now, so feel free to ask me for anything reasonable. We'll fulfill all your requests at the victory celebration!" Yan Qiuxi said seriously, "Just say the word, and I guarantee you won't see a single piece of my clothing that day!"

Duan Huaige: ?

Is it really true? Qiuqiu's godfather?

He swallowed hard, his intelligence still holding sway, maintaining his vigilance: "You're not trying to set me up... saying this on the surface, but Shuangjiang and Xiaojiang are actually lying in ambush nearby, right?"

"What are you thinking? How could I possibly associate with Ah Jiang! Besides, I have no grudge against you, what good would it do me to harm you?"

That makes sense... Duan Huaige hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Does Xiao Jiang agree too?"

"Bao agrees. If you don't believe me, call her now and ask!"

Duan Huaige, half-believing and half-doubting, made a phone call to ask. When he asked if Jiang Xiyu really planned to hold a separate celebration banquet with Yan Qiuxi, and if there would be perks at the banquet, the Little Demon King Jiang fell silent...

Finally, she replied firmly:

"That's right! Yan Qiuxi is telling the truth! We really will give you benefits!"

Jiang Xiyu: Let's lure Duan Huaige over first! After all, this is related to their plan to obtain the virginity mark.

"The kind of perk where you can't see the clothes?"

"..."

"That's right! This is it!" Xiao Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "You've worked so hard this time, it's only right that you enjoy yourself!"

Duan Huaige: ?

No way, sis, is this the end for me? I wouldn't even dare to dream about this!
Although he still didn't quite believe that Yan Qiuxi could convince Xiao Jiang to throw him such an incredible victory celebration, well... there's always the risk of a small party controlling the big one...

What if? What if they feel the pressure from the King of Qin is too great and go all in? Wouldn't I be the one who wins?

Duan Huaige: I think there should be more trust between people. I'll go to this celebration banquet!
