Minglong

Chapter 437 doesn't seem like it?
Having seized all three opportunities, the vast celestial might that had been hovering above Lake Beiming gradually dissipated.

Master Huang Lin felt quite ashamed that he had failed to capture the leader of the evil sect, and he didn't know how to face the old demon Qixia who had come to his aid.

Xie Jinhuan, worried about complications, did not explicitly state that the White-Haired Fairy was an imposter. Instead, he instructed the overexerted old Taoist Huang Lin to take old man Lü Yan to Wolf City to recuperate.

As for the payment, that could be discussed once they were back in a safe area. Xie Jinhuan wasn't worried about Lü Yan defaulting on the debt. After all, if he really couldn't afford the payment, he could settle the debt in an old-fashioned way—by having Miss Lü meet him and have a chat...

Of course, this was just a joke. After seeing the two old men off, Xie Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief and hugged his white-haired wife.
"The coal lump must be scared, all alone underground. Let's go back soon..."

Ye Hongshang maintained her white-haired fairy appearance, even her expression and tone remained unchanged, and said unhappily with her hands on her hips:

"Are you worried about the coal briquettes? I wouldn't even allow you to say that..."

"Haha~"

Xie Jinhuan chuckled, picked up his white-haired wife, and thought to himself, "I will not let down Coal Ball, nor you," as he continued his cultivation journey.
"Why don't you get back to your old self? I still prefer your more imposing and powerful look..."

"What? You think your sister is too short now?"

"How could I dare to have such thoughts? A youthful face and huge... well, that's a rare find, I'd love to have one, but it feels a bit offensive..."

"Humph~"

Ye Hongshang wasn't a mindless ghost; she had been thoroughly tormented just now and needed a rest.

Besides, the promised reward was given once, and it was already given. If Ah Huan gets a reward every time she asks for one, wouldn't she become a submissive wife in the future? So she turned her head away and ignored her.

Seeing this, Xie Jinhuan could only mutter "I'm sorry" to himself, and then hugged the white-haired Taoist nun and started kissing her.

But getting carried away in front of the ice cubes was indeed a source of constant smugness and pleasure.

And doing the same in front of a ghost wife will obviously come at a price.

Xie Jinhuan was enjoying himself as he traveled, marveling at how the ghost's ability to transform was no less than that of the octopus girl, when suddenly he heard a voice from afar:
"Wow... Huh?!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xie Jinhuan staggered slightly, his eyes clearing as he looked up to see a figure standing on the lake several miles away.

The figure, clad in golden armor, exuded an imposing aura, but his eyes held a look of utter shock. His expression alone conveyed the message: "What kind of cunning old demon dares to impersonate me, this fairy, and seduce Jiang Xian's... you know..."

Seeing that things were going badly, Xie Jinhuan quickly put the ghost wife down and explained:

"Senior Qixia, please don't misunderstand, I... um..."

How else can this be explained?

Ye Hongshang, however, remained calm. She spun around and transformed into a magnificent carriage draped in fiery red, waving from afar.
"Don't be alarmed, it's me."

"Sister Ye?"

Qixia Zhenren realized something was wrong and rushed over to find Huang Lin Laomo with light travel. He was stunned to find "himself" and Xie Jinhuan hugging and munching on each other. He thought the baby octopus had escaped from the boat because he hadn't been watching it properly.

Upon realizing it was Sister Ghost, Qixia Zhenren suddenly understood, but still hopped over from a distance, her eyes wide with shock as she spread her hands:
"My dear sister, how could you kiss him?!"

Ye Hongshang's true identity is the teacher of Qixia Zhenren and Xie Jinhuan. After her memories were sealed, she is also the ghost sister who became Qixia Zhenren's sworn sister. In principle, she shouldn't be dating a younger man.

But unfortunately, she is the principle itself!

Facing the incredible white-haired fairy, Ye Hongshang leaned close to her ear and whispered:
"You kissed her too, didn't you?"

"?"

Master Qixia was taken aback. He wanted to sternly correct him, saying that it was Immortal Jiang who had given it to him, the Old Demon Qixia.
But it wasn't appropriate to say this in front of Xie Jinhuan, so he changed it to:
"If you want to kiss me, why did you turn into my likeness?"

Ye Hongshang sighed and said earnestly:
"Xie Jinhuan said you're good-looking, a rare find, and insisted on..."

"Eh eh eh?!"

Xie Jinhuan, who was just standing in the background, was struck dumb upon hearing this. Afraid of being beaten to tears by the White-Haired Fairy, he quickly explained:
"No, no, something just happened. Master Huang Lin is in trouble, and I went to rescue him. Please ask Sister Ye to transform into Senior Qixia's appearance to scare the demon. I have absolutely no intention of offending Senior Qixia..."

Master Qixia knew Sister Piao's personality very well; since she was uncontrollable, he didn't dwell on the details, but simply asked:

"Is Old Demon Huang Lin still alive?"

"No, with my sister personally in charge, how could anything go wrong?"

"Sister Ye's price tag isn't low, has the payment been agreed upon?" "It's agreed upon, the daughter will pay for the father's debts..."

"Ah? Master Huang Lin's daughter is 170 years old, older than me..."

……

Seeing that the white-haired fairy was being led astray, Xie Jinhuan quickly interjected:
"Just kidding. As for the reward, Senior Qixia will definitely discuss it when he gets back. True Master Huang Lin is fine, but the evil sect is too powerful. Yang Huaxian and Daoist Kongkong are both here, and Sikong Tianyuan is also here. The Xuanwu Divine Gift was still taken away."

"Sikong Tianyuan..."

Upon hearing this, Master Qixia placed his hands on his hips, seemingly lost in thought:
"The Gu Poison Sect has dominated the Southern Frontier for a century and must be quite wealthy. Since Sikong Old Demon's son has handed over the knife, we'll take down Phoenix Port when we get back. As for Xuanwu Divine Gift, there's no need to worry. Only one of Kongkong Old Demon and Yang Huaxian can survive. If they can't get it from us, they'll definitely fight amongst themselves. Just be careful and don't let them find an opportunity to ambush us."

At this point, Master Qixia looked at the imposing ghost sister again, raised his hand and poked his chest:
"Where did you get this body from?"

Ye Hongshang shrugged slightly: "It was obtained from the very origin of heaven and earth. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"

Qixia Zhenren was extremely envious, but also had some doubts:

"You used to work with me, why didn't you get yourself into trouble?"

Ye Hongshang actually prefers to stir things up from the shadows; she only got her body now because she was threatened by the prospect of "a mother gaining status through her son"...

However, this matter is not easy to say openly, so Ye Hongshang simply said:
"It's just for fun. When we get back, you'll have to figure out an identity for me and cover up the princess's memories of me. Otherwise, if they know too many secrets, they'll be confused, and I won't be able to explain it to them."

Master Qixia nodded: "It's nothing, let's go, let's go back and divide the spoils..."

……
-
Shortly after.

The brightly lit ship floated on the North Sea Lake, not turning back immediately, and no one was patrolling or on guard outside.

After all, the most notorious bandit in the world is sitting on the ship right now, so it would be crazy for evil people to come and hijack the ship.

Inside the ship's cabin, seven women and one man sat in a circle, with the spoils of their journey laid out before them, such as a long spear, a Yin-Yang magic ball, and the Chaochitai double swords.

But everyone's attention was focused on the red-clad succubus in the center.

The Valkyrie sat sideways with her arms crossed, her exotic eyes scanning the peerless cart and the old demon without onions with suspicion.
"Is this Miss Ye your twin sister?"

Master Qixia held the trembling little octopus and examined it closely. Hearing the sound, he straightened his chest and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Hongshang.
"Isn't it similar?"

"?"

Nangong Ye dared not disrespect his master, but the gap between them was indeed too great.

The girl who suddenly ran back was incredibly tall and imposing. Even Xie Jinhuan, who was already cold and domineering, seemed like an innocent child standing next to her.

Her aura was unparalleled in the world. She could hold her own against a Valkyrie with the added advantage of being a beautiful woman from another land. But when she was next to the Night Maiden, whose aura was no less than five meters high, she looked like a green cucumber.

And the white-haired master...

She's not unattractive, but her petite figure, combined with her sweet looks and large breasts, makes her seem like she's from the same generation as Jiang Xian and Zi Su. If it weren't for her white hair and her status, she probably wouldn't be able to overpower Mo Mo.

With such a stark difference in their backgrounds, few would believe they were master and disciple, let alone sisters...

Zhao Ling, Bu Yuehua, and Ye Yunchi were also sitting in front of them, expressing deep doubts about Qixia Zhenren's introduction, but they dared not say it outright.

As a peer, the Valkyrie naturally felt less restrained. Seeing that Old Demon Mu hadn't asked if they resembled each other, she countered with:

"Do you think it's similar? Putting aside looks, are you even as tall as Miss Ye with legs as long?"

?

That was clearly a bit hurtful.

Ye Hongshang did not transform into a five-meter-long cart; even with long legs, he was only a little over a meter long. Qixia Zhenren was much longer than him.

Master Qixia's eyes immediately darkened, and he seemed ready to make a move.

Seeing the situation turning bad, Xie Jinhuan quickly intervened to stop the fight:
"Sister Guo is just surprised. Senior Qixia, please don't be angry. Today we have returned with a lot of good news and new friends. We should celebrate properly. Come, come, let's have a drink first."

Empress Dowager Guo didn't believe that Qixia Zhenren could have such a big older sister, but Qixia Zhenren insisted that she could, so she didn't press the matter further and picked up her wine cup...
