He thought to himself, and then he saw Qi Qiao skip and hop to his side. She opened her eyes, bowed to Liu Mengshen beside her, and respectfully called out, "Sixth Sister."
This was considered a greeting. Then, the zombie jumped into Yun Chu'an's arms, her icy little hands hugging him, completely disregarding the fact that her respected sixth sister was right next to her, appearing extremely intimate.
However, it looks more like a declaration of sovereignty.
The news that Liu Meng had successfully transformed into human form and subsequently broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining had already spread, and everyone knew what the willow tree spirit looked like in human form, as did Qi Qiao.
Although this seemed like a good thing, the girl herself didn't know why, but she was always filled with a sense of panic, as if something precious that belonged only to her was being secretly stolen by someone else.
When she noticed that her sixth sister, who used to stand quietly by the river all day, was now running to her husband's side almost every day, this feeling of unease became even stronger.
Subconsciously, she began to make many assertive gestures in front of Liu Meng to tell her, "This is my man, don't touch him!"
She had no idea that her man had already been completely taken advantage of by the other party.
Yun Chu'an could sense Qi Qiao's panic. Holding his wife, he glanced at Liu Mengshen, who was still lingering beside him. He felt as if he were sandwiched between two red-hot iron plates, and he couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
He racked his brains, still unsure of what to say or what reason to give to get Liu Mengshen to leave.
Before he could come up with a good excuse, Liu Mengshen suddenly said, "Seventh Sister, I have a gift for you. Do you want it?"
Chapter 49 The Green Headband
Upon hearing this, Qi Qiao turned her head from Yun Chu'an's embrace, first looking at her, then at her husband with a confused expression, unsure how to respond.
Yun Chu'an didn't see anything wrong with it, nodded, and said, "Your sister wants to give you a gift. Just accept it and say thank you."
Qi Qiao nodded obediently and turned to look at Liu Mengshen: "Thank you, Sixth Sister."
The willow spirit replied, "You're welcome." Then Yun Chu'an saw her take out a headband made of willow leaves from her sleeve, with each tender leaf neatly waving backward.
A misty spiritual energy swirled around it, clearly indicating that this was a rare magical artifact. Yun Chuan was somewhat surprised, as he could recognize that these were all Liu Mengshen's own leaves.
"You can also make magic tools?" he couldn't help but ask. Liu Mengshen smiled and replied, "Of course. My fourth sister taught me before, but I'm not very good at it, so I only learned how to use my own leaves to make some medicine patches or simple magic tools."
"After this breakthrough, I was thinking of trying to make an even better magic weapon. Now that I have made progress, I quickly brought it over to Seventh Sister."
As she spoke, Liu Meng smiled sweetly and held the emerald green willow leaf headband high in both hands, pointing it at Qi Qiao's head: "Here, put it on!"
Qi Qiao obediently lowered her head, and the headband was securely placed on her head, like a hat. The misty spiritual energy surrounded her, seemingly forming an invisible layer of protection.
As Yun Chu'an looked at all this, and at the emerald green color on Qi Qiao's head, he suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly shuddered.
This headband, something's really wrong with it!
He gritted his teeth, thinking that such a wicked idea could never have come from Liu Mengshen, so he asked, "Thank you, Sixth Sister, but who came up with this idea?"
Liu Mengshen exclaimed happily, "It's Fifth Sister!"
“She suddenly came to me that day and said that if I gave Seventh Sister such a magical artifact, she would definitely be happy, so I did it!”
She said this, but clearly didn't finish her sentence, and winked at him, giving him a hint.
It was obvious that Hua Caiyan must have said something else, such as, "Even though you seduced her husband, as long as you give her this gift, she will definitely forgive you even if things are exposed in the future." The naive Liu Mengshen took the bait and foolishly sent Qi Qiao a green hat!
Yun Chu'an reached up and touched his forehead, letting out a sigh.
Sure enough, it was that vixen again!
What exactly is she trying to do?
That day, you went to great lengths to cover for me and Liu Mengshen, and now you're resorting to such underhanded tactics behind my back.
Unfortunately, he can neither beat her nor find her, and he has no good way to counter her little tricks.
His expression became quite complicated for a moment. Noticing the change in his expression, Liu Mengshen suppressed her excitement and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Is this headband not suitable?"
Yun Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It's very powerful in terms of functionality, but the colors are a bit monotonous and don't really match your seventh sister."
"I remember that willow leaves turn golden in autumn. Sixth Sister, could you change the color of these leaves?"
Liu Mengshen smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."
She was already a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, so this was a piece of cake. She recited a few incantations and the change was completed.
Yun Chu'an breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of Hua Caiyan again, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself that he was still suppressing his strength and could not do anything, but when he had the chance later, he would definitely teach this vixen a lesson!
She needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise she won't behave!
He thought to himself that Liu Mengshen, after changing the color of the hat, still lingered and stayed by his side, smiling and standing on either side of him, almost touching his body.
Surrounded by two women, Yun Chu'an was the envy of many. However, he lacked the strength and experience to handle the feelings of two girls at the same time. He felt like an ant on a hot pan, sweating profusely with nervousness, yet unsure of what to do.
Fortunately, just then, a strange yet somewhat familiar voice called out from the foot of the mountain in the distance, saving him from his predicament: "Lord Yun, are you on the mountain, Lord Yun?"
It was the voice of the bandit leader.
Yun Chu'an's expression shifted. Ever since his Pure Yang Skill was completed, he had become too lazy to deal with these bandits anymore.
He actually had no feelings for these guys; if he did, it was probably only hatred.
At present, they have no further use to him. If it weren't for Granny Huaishan watching over him, he would have loved to grind these guys to dust.
In the past, he only pretended to be friendly with them for his own purposes, but now that he has achieved his goals, he has no desire to continue seeing them.
It's strange that he came to the mountain to look for me when I didn't see him. Today isn't the day he'd bring me supplies.
What is this person doing here?
He released Qi Qiao and Liu Mengshen from his embrace, stood up and stepped forward, coldly replying, "I'm here, what do you want?"
At the end of the road, the one-eyed bandit leader staggered up the path. He looked quite disheveled, with an injury on his leg that caused him to limp, making him appear somewhat comical.
Yun Chuanke felt no sympathy for the guy's plight, but his injuries still moved him somewhat: "What happened to you? Who hurt you? Did someone else get greedy again?"
What he was worried about was external enemies.
The one-eyed bandit leader gave a bitter laugh, shook his head, and said, "No, Commander Yun, we were attacked by demon cultivators from other mountains."
Yun Chu'an raised an eyebrow. A demon cultivator?
The mountains are dotted with peaks, especially deep within them, where there are many small demon cultivation families. This was mentioned in the popular science booklet Zhu Yunqing gave him, and he was aware of it.
However, Granny Huaishan possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core stage—although Yun Chu'an knew this wasn't true, outsiders couldn't tell—so most of the time, not to mention scattered minor demon cultivators, even some demon cultivation families dared not provoke these bandits or cause them trouble.
In a sense, Yun Chu'an's ability to live a life of ease and smoothly advance to the third level of Qi Refining was also due to the protection of Granny Huaishan.
But now, with the outside world in turmoil, the storms of the cultivation world are finally about to reach this place.
"I'm asking you, who are those demon cultivators? What are their characteristics? What spells do they know? Did they reveal their origins or explain their purpose?" Yun Chu'an asked in detail, his expression grave.
Chapter 50 New System Task (Ten Chapters Completed)
The bandit leader dared not conceal anything and answered in detail: "Reporting to you, sir, they were a pack of wolf demons, with wolf heads and human bodies, wielding steel knives. I didn't see them use any magic; they just rushed over and occupied one of our camps halfway up the mountain."
“We suspect that there are other evil demons behind this, so we hurried up the mountain to report to you, sir and all the immortals.”
Yun Chu'an was speechless. Wasn't it just that they couldn't defeat another group of demon cultivators and bandits, so they came up the mountain to ask for help? And they're making it sound like they're looking out for us. Do they really think I can't see through their rhetoric?
According to his description, they were a group of minor demons who hadn't even figured out how to transform into human form, and they didn't have any magic; they were just wielding steel swords.
Even so, they couldn't beat them, and they had to cry and beg for help from the mountain. He found it even harder to understand what his mother-in-law was doing raising these guys.
A bunch of good-for-nothings who can only bully ordinary people.
Ugh!
He shook his head and sighed, about to say something, when suddenly the system notification sounded in his mind: [Ding, quest 'Wolf Demon Attack' detected]
Then, a pale blue screen appeared in front of him:
[Wolf Demon Attack]
[Mission Description: A pack of wolf demons has invaded the clan's territory and injured the clan's servants. This is intolerable. Eliminate them and prevent them from becoming a threat to the safety of the clan's territory.]
[Mission Objective: Eliminate the wolf demons that have invaded the clan's territory]
[Task Rewards: Depends on how the task is completed.]
Depending on how it's done?
What exactly is that?
What other way is there to deal with these wolf demons?
Arrest them?
Kill them all?
Skinning and eating the flesh, extracting the marrow to make medicine?
Should we scare them away? Or should we drive them away?
Yun Chu'an had many thoughts in mind, but he did not intend to act rashly: "I understand about this matter. You all go back to the other camps and stay there. We will handle this matter."
The bandits didn't just have one camp; the rabbit had three burrows. They weren't short of supplies, and they had places to stay in various locations, so ensuring their livelihood wasn't a problem.
However, the information they brought was indeed crucial, and Yun Chu'an dared not delay, nor did he intend to make a decision on his own. He only had a general understanding of the cultivation world and the demon races in the mountains, and did not know the details. It would be best to consult Zhu Yunqing on these matters first.
After sending the bandits away, he then used this as an excuse to send Liu Mengshen away and also let Qi Qiao go to work first.
He then used his magic to "shrink the earth into an inch" and sped towards Zhu Yunqing's lair.
Although Zhu Yunqing's cave dwelling was on another mountain, it wasn't too far away. Moreover, now that he had mastered his supernatural powers, he knew the way well and arrived at the cave dwelling entrance in just a few minutes. He went inside and softly called out, "Fourth Sister, are you in your cave dwelling? Do you have time now?"
The cave was eerily quiet. Large, white spider webs crisscrossed in the air, awaiting their prey. The familiar woman was nowhere to be seen, making the cave eerily silent. Looking at the enormous spider cocoons hanging from the cave ceiling, he belatedly realized that this seemed to be the cave of a demon cultivator.
His call echoed through the cave, and it seemed as if some enormous creature was rapidly approaching. The surrounding spiderwebs trembled slightly, and even the ground beneath his feet began to shake.
Soon, from the darkness ahead, a colossal blue creature suddenly emerged from the spiderweb. It was a gigantic blue spider, its size comparable to an elephant, with eight ball-sized, jet-black eyes on its head, all staring at him: "What is it?"
Its enormous mandibles trembled, and although it looked terrifying and ferocious, it emitted the most reassuring sound—that familiar female voice.
Before Yun Chu'an could even feel fear, the dread in his heart vanished. He stared at the enormous creature before him, its massive spider legs as thick as stone pillars, and asked with some curiosity, "Fourth Sister, is this you?"
The enormous spider trembled slightly: "You haven't seen my true form yet?"
At this point, she suddenly remembered that when Hua Caiyan came to see her alone a few days ago, she showed some kind of unspeakable fear.
Without waiting for his reply, she silently chanted a spell, and her body transformed into a wisp of green smoke, swirling and gathering on the ground, reverting to the beautiful image that Yun Chu'an was familiar with.
Her eyes, painted with black tear-streaked makeup, stared intently at him. Seeing that his expression didn't change, she suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Yun Chu'an said, "Knowing it's Fourth Sister, I'm not afraid anymore."
Zhu Yunqing remained expressionless as she walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder: "Just tell me what you want to see me about."
Yun Chu'an recounted the entire ordeal the bandits had encountered. Zhu Yunqing frowned as she listened, and couldn't help but complain, "These good-for-nothings can't even handle this little bit of trouble."
He continued, "We'll figure out how to train them later, but Fourth Sister, I've never seen these wolf demons in the booklet you wrote. Who are they?"
The spider demon composed herself, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "When Grandma chose this location for the family, she had already taken care of the leaders of the other families in the mountains. Logically speaking, there should be no omissions."
Yun Chu'an guessed, "So, they're just a bunch of scattered soldiers, from small families?"
Zhu Yunqing rolled her eyes and continued, "No, we can't be too careful. Maybe they're actually after us, and they're just using these guys to test us."
Seeing his confused expression, she explained, "These mountains stretch for thousands of miles, teeming with birds, beasts, flowers, insects, and fish. Even a Golden Core expert has his own things to do and can't possibly monitor his territory all the time to see if any outsiders sneak in and deliberately cause damage or pollution."
"And once it is truly damaged or polluted, the impact on one's cultivation environment is enormous, and one might even be ambushed. Therefore, even a Golden Core expert needs a cultivator of lower cultivation level to help them guard against these trivial disturbances."
Yun Chu'an suddenly realized, and then heard Zhu Yunqing say again: "This time is the same. According to the bandits' description, these are just a group of little demons who have not even successfully transformed into human form, so I will not show up. You take Qi Qiao and your sixth sister to deal with them. They all listen to you now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chu'an was extremely embarrassed: "Ah, well, because I have some basic knowledge of music, Sixth Sister was willing to give me face, uh..."
He lowered his head guiltily, wondering if the spider demon already knew about his affair with Liu Mengshen. After all, they had often engaged in lewd acts in his printing room in broad daylight without any attempt to conceal it. His fourth sister was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so it would be easy for her to find out.
Chapter 51 The family has made its decision; you will be the head of external affairs.
However, Zhu Yunqing's expression remained unchanged, whether he was unaware or simply didn't care: "In any case, since you can command both of them, then mobilize them both. You can deal with those wolf demons; how to handle them is entirely up to you."
As she spoke, she gently patted Yun Chu'an's shoulder, her eyes filled with expectation: "If you can handle this well, I will entrust all these foreign affairs to you in the future."
She was indeed looking forward to it. Before Yun Chuan came, the Qi Refining cultivators in her family were all irresponsible and incapable of handling these troublesome matters, forcing her, a Foundation Establishment demon cultivator, to personally intervene in these trivial matters on many occasions.
Does this sound like a word?
If he can take on the main responsibility now, she will be saved a lot of trouble in the future.
She had high expectations for Yun Chu'an, who hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and nodded: "Alright, I'll take responsibility for this matter."
Zhu Yunqing smiled, her tear-streaked eyes looking at him with increasing anticipation: "Yes, go ahead."
