Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 193 Li Qiqing wants Li Muwan to help him

Kunxu Star Region, Vermilion Bird Star.

Since Li Qiqing became the fifteenth generation Vermilion Bird Child, the entire Vermilion Bird Star has become more prosperous than before, and even the cultivators are more powerful than before.

The Immortal Remnant Clan also kept their agreement with Lin Che and did not take action against the cultivation kingdom within Vermilion Bird Star.

They also wished to live in harmony with the cultivators here and share a planet called Vermilion Bird.

In the magnificent room, Li Qiqing, dressed in a Vermilion Bird robe, leaned back in his chair, picked up a teacup from the table, and asked, "What is the current situation of cultivation in various countries?"

The leading expert, a powerhouse at the early stage of the Ascension Realm, stepped forward, bowed to Li Qiqing, and replied, "Reporting to the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom, where the Hengyue Sect is located, has now advanced to a Level 6 cultivation kingdom, becoming the second Level 6 cultivation kingdom outside of my Vermilion Bird Kingdom."

Hearing this, Li Qiqing was not surprised. After all, Zhao was the country where his sister lived, and advancing to the sixth level of cultivation country was not a problem for him.

"go on."

"Back then, the Soul Refining Sect heard that they had made an agreement with Senior Lin Che and also wanted to advance to the sixth level of cultivation."

Li Qiqing frowned slightly.

The Vermilion Bird Star was originally an abandoned cultivation star, and now with the emergence of the Immortal Remnant Clan and the Zhao Kingdom, two level-six cultivation nations, the Vermilion Bird Kingdom's resources will be greatly reduced.

If the Soul Refining Sect were to advance to a sixth-level cultivation kingdom, it would be absolutely detrimental to the resource allocation of Vermilion Bird Star.

Moreover, as a member of the Vermilion Bird Clan, Li Qiqing also needs to consider the current cultivators of the entire Vermilion Bird Kingdom. It's impossible for just anyone to advance to the sixth level of cultivation.

Li Qiqing stroked his chin, his gaze lingering on Yun Quezi, the second ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Clan, and asked, "Senior Yun Quezi, what are your thoughts?"

Yun Quezi smiled and said, "This is a decision made by the Vermilion Bird Kingdom itself. I, an old man, am unable to help. Besides, it was Brother Lin Che who promised it, so we can't go back on our word."

Li Qiqing gently touched his forehead.

Naturally, I understand that I cannot break my promise.

Besides, this was arranged by Senior Lin Che, who is also my brother-in-law, so how could I refuse?
Li Qiqing exhaled a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said, "I'll go see Wan'er and hear what she has to say."

The cultivators in the arena naturally had nothing to say and turned to leave. After all, Li Muwan was Senior Lin Che's woman, and in the entire Vermilion Bird Star, she was definitely number one.

.........

The Zhao Kingdom, a sixth-level cultivation kingdom.

Hengyue School.

Deep in the quiet bamboo forest.

The faint sound of music drifted slowly from afar, soothing the soul.

Through the window of the attic, one can see the figure of a woman sitting inside. She sits upright, and in front of her is a guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither).

However, there was a thin veil over the window, so the details were not visible.

Li Qiqing landed smoothly on the ground and was about to go inside when he was stopped by Reggie, the progenitor of the troll race.

"The mistress is playing music; Suzaku, it's best not to enter this place." "It's alright, brother, please come in."

The strings paused slightly, and Li Muwan stepped out. Looking at her brother, who had become the Vermilion Bird Star, a gentle emotion appeared on Li Muwan's beautiful face.

Li Qiqing walked towards Li Muwan and smiled, "The last time we parted was at Yuntian Sect. I didn't expect that after so many years, our Wan'er has become so beautiful."

Li Muwan gently tidied a strand of her hair behind her ear and said softly, "Brother is joking. In front of you, Wan'er still prefers to be the little girl who follows you around."

"Reggie-senpai, please prepare some tea."

Reggie, the progenitor of the troll race, nodded, turned around and left, giving the matriarch and Suzaku some private time.

Li Qiqing sat in the chair, looking at his younger sister who was still as beautiful as a flower, and said softly, "Wan'er, it seems that you have broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. It won't be long before you break through to the Infant Transformation Realm."

Li Muwan sighed softly and said, "Perhaps. Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the sixth-level cultivation country is abundant, and I also have the immortal jade left by my husband, which should be able to help me break through the realm."

Li Qiqing looked at Li Muwan and said softly, "Wan'er, alchemy is mentally taxing. You should focus your mind on cultivation, not alchemy."

Li Muwan gave a bitter smile, her slender hand slightly raised to hold the butterfly in front of her, and said softly, "Brother, have you forgotten? My theme is love..."

"My love and affection are so deep that I can only have the motivation to cultivate when I am with my husband... If I hadn't needed to take care of the cultivators here, I... really wanted to leave Vermilion Bird Star with my husband."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiqing felt a pang of sadness. He was well aware of his sister's deep affection for Lin Che, but in the world of cultivation, love and responsibility were often difficult to reconcile.

After a moment of silence, Li Qiqing slowly spoke: "Wan'er, the situation on Vermilion Bird Star is complicated right now. The Immortal Remnant Clan and the Zhao Kingdom have become sixth-level cultivation nations, and the Soul Refining Sect also intends to advance. Once the Soul Refining Sect succeeds, the resources of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom will become even more strained, which is related to the balance of the entire Vermilion Bird Star."

Li Muwan nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes showing a thoughtful look: "Brother, I understand your concerns. My husband has an agreement with the Soul Refining Sect, and it would be inappropriate to forcibly stop him. But I also know about the difficulties of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom."

Her fingers unconsciously caressed the strings, as if weighing the pros and cons, and she said softly, "Perhaps we can find another way that will not violate the agreement and can also alleviate the pressure on the Vermilion Bird Kingdom."

As they were talking, Reggie came in carrying an antique tea tray, and the aroma of tea rising from the celadon cups wafted out.

Li Muwan gently touched the rim of her cup, took a small sip, and smiled, "Actually, a few days ago, I talked with the Third Elder of the Immortal Remnant Clan. They were quite interested in the Spirit Gathering Array of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom."

"If my brother is willing to give up the method of improving the array diagram, perhaps we can use it as a bargaining chip to discuss resource allocation with the Immortal Remnant Clan and the Soul Refining Sect."

Li Qiqing stroked the cup, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "This method is feasible, but the Immortal Remnant Clan has always been arrogant and may not be willing to bow down."

"However, Wan'er's skill in formations will always surpass that of her brother. Perhaps only your husband can hold his own against her."

"My brother is teasing me again!"

Li Muwan's cheeks flushed slightly as her fingertips plucked a series of light and cheerful notes on the strings.

"If he were here, we wouldn't need to worry about these trivial matters. However, we received a message from him on a jade slip a few days ago, saying that he discovered the ruins of an ancient cultivator deep in Kunxu, and he probably won't be back for a while."

Li Qiqing frowned slightly, but seeing the reassuring smile on Li Muwan's lips, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

The little girl who once sheltered him from the wind and rain is now capable of standing on her own, but the lingering affection for him always slips out unintentionally.
