Luck taken away? It doesn't matter, I quietly become a god

Chapter 487 Regent Prince Haixi, Bei Mutong

"Second Senior Sister, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Junior Brother. I'm not in pain." Lin Jingyue maintained a dignified and elegant smile, pinched Xiao Zi'an's ear, and pulled him off.

"Xiao Zian, are you trying to jump over the city wall? I saw you jumping and leaping from a great distance."

Xiao Zian covered his ear, which had been twisted painfully, and dared not speak out in anger.

"Second Senior Sister, I didn't!"

"Give me back the Nine Palaces Mirror first. I'm having a very important conversation with my junior sister!"

Lin Jingyue took the Nine Palaces Mirror she had just swiped from Xiao Zian and glanced at it casually.

However, once the Nine Palaces Mirror has been refined by divine sense, no one except the person who created it can see its contents.

Unless the person is already dead.

Lin Jingyue wasn't actually that "heartless" to choose to kill her own junior brother just to satisfy gossipy curiosity.

"What serious matter has happened? Did Junior Sister encounter some formidable Nightmare Clan members?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zian felt a little guilty and subconsciously lowered his voice: "...Well, it's not that serious, it's just some private matters, yes! Private matters!"

"Second Senior Sister, dear Senior Sister, please give me back the Nine Palaces Mirror!"

Lin Jingyue put away the Nine Palaces Mirror: "Since it's not a big deal, I'll return the Nine Palaces Mirror to you after we finish discussing business."

"what?!"

"What do you mean 'huh'? I called you from afar several times, but you ignored me completely... Confiscated! No discussion! I'll let my junior sister know I'm safe, you two can talk later when you have time."

After saying that, Lin Jingyue grabbed Xiao Zian by the collar and dragged him away.

Upon seeing this, the two elders of the Xiao family immediately followed.

"Gu Chen has contacted us, wanting to discuss some details regarding the subsequent border defense deployment..."

"Also, you are one of the few ninth-grade alchemists, so you can't be distracted or slack off in this battle."

Flying in mid-air, Xiao Zian tried several times to sneak away from Lin Jingyue's storage bag, but each time the other party 'ruthlessly' slapped his claws away.

The newly appointed head of the Xiao family expressed his grievances, "Second Senior Sister, I won't neglect my duties. It seems Junior Sister just sent me a new message, which I haven't seen yet. Please let me see it, just one glance~"

Lin Jingyue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? What message did Junior Sister send you that made you, Patriarch Xiao, so furious?"

She hadn't even gone up to the city wall yet.

You could feel Xiao Zian's burning rage even from a distance.

Xiao Zian shrank back, "N-nothing..."

That was such an embarrassing thing back then.

He absolutely refused to tell his second senior sister! She would definitely laugh at him!

Xiao Zian took advantage of the fact that Rong Shu came to Zhanming Mountain late and did not know much about the past, but even so, he was still hesitant and kept the truth to himself.

Because it really is...

It's unbearable to recall!

Definitely a dark history!

That's so embarrassing!

"Second Senior Sister~ please~"

"Come on, I'm not like Wu Hua and Gu Chen, I don't fall for your tantrums."

Xiao Zian: "..."

Despite Wu Hua's constant attempts to "spar" with Xiao Zi'an, Gu Chen remains silent and never gives Xiao Zi'an a second glance.

But both of them were extremely indulgent towards Xiao Zi'an.

Before Rong Shulai, Xiao Zian was the youngest. He had been the "junior brother" on Zhanming Mountain for hundreds of years. Backed by the Xiao family and the alchemist guild that made the most money from spirit stones, he had a smooth life since childhood, except for his shallow family ties. He could ask for anything he wanted and have it granted.

Left with no other choice, Lin Jingyue had to adopt the demeanor of the second senior sister to keep this unruly monkey in check.

When Di Chuchen saw the two of them, he immediately saw that Xiao Zian had been "disciplined" by his second senior sister again. He looked like a wilted white flower in a vegetable garden after being hit by frost, looking quite aggrieved.

"Second Senior Sister, what happened?" Di Chuchen asked.

"—Xiao Chenzi! I missed you so much!" Xiao Zian instantly turned into a whiny girl, pleadingly rushing towards Di Chuchen.

With Lin Jingyue present, Xiao Zian could only secretly complain, "Maybe I stepped into the main hall with the wrong foot and offended Second Senior Sister~"

Surrounding him, the Divine Wind Army soldiers responsible for protecting Emperor Chu Chen stood with their backs straight, like statues.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that these kamikaze soldiers subtly twitched the corners of their eyes.

Xiao Chenzi...

This is a common way of addressing palace eunuchs.

If it weren't for His Highness the Crown Prince speaking on the first day, they would have arrested the Xiao family head on the spot for "flirtatious and disrespectful to His Highness."

Seeing that Xiao Zian was still in the mood to joke around, Di Chuchen knew it wasn't a big deal. He pushed Xiao Zian away speechlessly and then nodded slightly to Lin Jingyue: "Second Senior Sister, please take a seat."

"Am I not late?" a female voice came from outside.

The clouds were torn open without warning, creating a crack.

A figure emerged from within.

The woman moved with agility, her toes lightly touching the air as if there were invisible steps beneath her feet. With a few leaps, she gracefully landed on the ground.

Wearing a short top with a pearly sheen, she looked neat and chic, like a sea sprite born from the ocean.

What's most captivating is her pair of heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one cyan, reflecting the vast blue of the sea.

Her wheat-colored wrists, ankles, and even the ends of her hair were adorned with all sorts of beautiful conch shells, seashells, pearls, and coral flowers, which gently collided with her as she walked, producing a crisp and melodious tinkling sound.

"Regent Prince Haixi, Bei Mutong." Lin Jingyue bowed and said, "I am Lin Jingyue, the young master of the Lin family. I have long admired Your Highness's reputation."

Bei Mutong's unique heterochromatic eyes seemed to sparkle. She smiled, put her hands behind her back, and walked with light steps, like an ordinary girl picking flowers in a flower field, without any trace of the majesty of a regent of the dynasty.

"I've heard so much about you!"

Bei Mutong braced herself on the table with one hand, nimbly flipped over, and sat down in her seat. She casually grabbed a few fruits and stuffed them into her mouth without any hesitation.

"The newly returned young master of the Lin family is said to be a great beauty. Seeing her today, I can confirm that she truly lives up to the name. It's a real feast for the eyes."

Di Chuchen looked at Bei Mutong: "It's been many years, and you're still at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Realm."

“You know this too.” Bei Mutong shrugged: “The last fragment of the Canglan Halberd was left in the Fulong Secret Realm two thousand years ago. The Fulong Secret Realm opens at uncertain times and only allows cultivators below the Integration Stage to enter…”

"Damn it! When is the secret realm going to open?! I can barely suppress my cultivation anymore!"

As she spoke, Bei Mutong suddenly rested her chin on her hand, turned her gaze back to Di Chuchen, and said, "Huh? How about I do the same as you? Start over from scratch? It'll help suppress my cultivation level..."

Di Chuchen: "...Let's talk about rebuilding later."

"You brought the Azure Wave Halberd this time, didn't you?"

"The border stretches for eight million miles. I'll guard half, and you guard the other half, how about that?"

Bei Mutong nodded indifferently: "How could I refuse an invitation from an old friend? I'll go!"
