Demons are born from demons, humans are born from humans. But Meng Wanwan was born from her father.
On the path of cultivation, there are Body Refining, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishm...
Unlike ordinary cultivators, and also unlike cultivators from aristocratic families.
He resembled a young master from a wealthy family, wearing a golden crown and jade belt, gracefully approaching while waving a folding fan.
The description of him as having bright eyes and white teeth is not an exaggeration at all. He has an upright posture and his every move is elegant and refined. Dressed in white brocade, he exudes wealth and nobility, and does not resemble a detached cultivator at all.
But Meng Wanwan knew that he was a cultivator.
"His surname is Shangguan? Niannian, who is he?"
Niannian: "Master, Niannian doesn't know..."
have no idea?
Although her companion spirit is somewhat useless, she rarely encounters people she doesn't recognize.
If someone does appear, they are definitely not an ordinary person.
The young man in white walked to the counter, fanning himself with a folding fan, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "See? Isn't my prediction accurate?"
He closed his folding fan and glanced at everyone present with a smile.
It was only then that Meng Wanwan realized he had captivating eyes; with his figure and looks, any other woman present would likely be bewitched…
Meng Wanwan turned to look at Han Fei, and sure enough, Han Fei was already stunned.
The white-robed young man's gaze met Han Fei's eyes, and Han Fei's face instantly turned red. She asked in surprise, "Young master, are you from the Shangguan family?"
The young man in white leaned against the counter, resting his chin on his fan: "Oh? You are..."
Han Fei quickly replied, "I am Han Fei, the daughter of the head of the Han family, one of the four great families. May I ask your name, young master?"
The young man in white raised an eyebrow slightly. His expression did not change, but Meng Wanwan could clearly sense that the smile on his face had become very strange.
"Han Shuo's daughter?"
He said it in a very playful tone, then his expression became amused, his peach blossom eyes narrowed again, and he said with a smile, "I am Shangguan Liuyue."
Meng Wanwan's mood for watching the show suddenly froze. She blinked and looked at the fan in her hand.
Is this... a coincidence?
Han Fei originally thought that the other party was at least someone she knew, someone from the Shangguan family, but she didn't expect that she had never heard of this name before.
My restless heart calmed down again.
Just like when she first met Meng Xiuyi, she liked their appearance.
However, they looked down on the other person's status.
She looked down on Meng Xiuyi, who was a rogue cultivator.
Even if Shangguan Liuyue is a member of the Shangguan family, she is unknown and wouldn't be interested in her.
Han Fei's smile softened, and she looked up slightly at Han Chao, saying, "Let's go."
After saying that, she glared at Meng Wanwan again and went upstairs.
Meng Wanwan said to Helian Xiao, "Does she think her eyes are big? She even glared at me?"
Helian Xiao comforted her, "He probably thought he was ugly no matter what, so he wanted to make the ugliest expression to disgust you."
Meng Wanwan deeply agreed and gave Helian Xiao a high five.
tacit agreement!
Shangguan Liuyue's eyes sparkled as she looked at Meng Wanwan with a smile, then she bent down and pinched Meng Wanwan's small face with her hand.
"Oh my, whose daughter is this? She's so cute!"
Meng Wanwan: "...Where's your manners?"
Helian Xiao was standing closer to Meng Wanwan than Meng Xiuyi, and he struck out with a palm.
Whether Shangguan Liuyue simply withdrew her hand by chance or deliberately dodged, Helian Xiao's palm strike missed its mark.
The palm wind swept past Meng Wanwan's face, sending stray strands of her hair flying onto her face.
Meng Xiuyi picked up Meng Wanwan and said coldly, "This young master is not familiar with my daughter. Is it inappropriate for him to reach out like this?"
Shangguan Liuyue still had that same smiling face, but she apologized, "Oh dear, I just couldn't resist because the little girl was so cute. I'm so sorry, oh... how about this."
He took out a small peach blossom hairpin from his waist and handed it to Meng Wanwan: "This is my apology, okay, little girl?"
Seeing this, Meng Xiuyi knew that he meant no harm, so she picked up Meng Wanwan and left.
Helian Xiao replied indifferently, "No need."
Having said that, he followed them away.
Shangguan Liuyue watched them disappear up the stairs, then looked down at the peach blossom hairpin in her hand and clicked her tongue, saying, "Why can't you give it away yet?"
Meng Wanwan leaned on Meng Xiuyi's shoulder and whispered to him, "Daddy, that peach blossom hairpin looks like a magic artifact."
Meng Xiuyi: "Hmm, I feel it. Do you want it? If you want it, Daddy will take you to buy it."
Although he was poor, given the current fortune of the Meng family, it wasn't impossible for him to succeed if he put in the effort.
Meng Wanwan quickly shook her head: "I don't want to. I just find it strange that even if he was in the wrong first time we met, why would he apologize with a magic artifact?"
Helian Xiao followed and sneered, "You probably don't know how wealthy the Shangguan family is."
"What's a magic artifact? It's said that during the war between gods and demons, the Shangguan family amassed a great deal of resources from all over the world."
"Okay." Meng Wanwan temporarily accepted this explanation, then said with a grin, "Hey, Uncle, is the Shangguan family richer, or is Xiaoshan more secluded?"
Helian Xiao said arrogantly, "What's the point of comparing them? Although the Shangguan family controls a lot of cultivation resources, our Xiaoshanyou has resources they don't have, namely spirit beasts."
The Yaomo Forest, where Xiaoshan You is located, is a gathering place for demonic beasts, so many spirit beasts also come from this place.
The Liu family of Xiaoshan You possesses the ability to tame spirit beasts, a skill that is unparalleled in the Nine Realms Continent.
Tamed spirit beasts can be exchanged for countless cultivation resources.
Therefore, Xiaoshan You is also very wealthy.
Meng Xiuyi took Meng Wanwan back to the room, and Helian Xiao left.
The other members of the Helian family need to make contact with him, and they will enter the Poison Mist Forest together.
After the father and daughter closed the door, they slipped into the space.
Inside the space, the spirit was still hoeing the ground.
But he was clearly in a good mood, and when he saw them return, he greeted them very warmly.
You're back?
Meng Wanwan excitedly rubbed her hands together and asked her, "Sister Spirit, where's the magic item I threw in?"
The spirit's eyes flickered, then it asked with a puzzled look, "What?"
Seeing her strange expression, and then looking at her somewhat solidified body, Meng Wanwan was utterly shocked: "You...you didn't swallow that magic weapon, did you?"
The spirit retorted stubbornly, "I don't know what you're talking about. I still need to hoe the ground, so don't bother me."
After saying that, she began to hoe the ground with her head down.
Meng Wanwan puffed out her cheeks in anger, put her hands on her hips, and looked at her.
Meng Xiuyi said with a laugh, "Alright, if she swallowed it, she swallowed it. You just threw it in without any explanation. She didn't do anything wrong."
Seeing that Meng Xiuyi had already said so, Meng Wanwan had no choice but to admit it. She huffed and said, "You're not allowed to swallow magic treasures without my permission from now on. I've only ever had two. I can't use one of them, and I was hoping to have some fun with this one. I didn't expect you to swallow it."
The spirit looked up from its arduous work, a smile on its face: "Okay, okay, I understand."
Then he continued humming a tune while hoeing the ground.
Although she only ate one, she was satisfied.
Sigh, this owner is still kind; if it were in the past...
The spirit paused for a moment, then scratched its head.
What was it like before?
Meng Wanwan handed a packet of seeds to the spirit with a displeased look: "Here you go, these are seeds for 108 kinds of spiritual plants. Plant them in separate plots and water them with water from the spirit pool. Don't get them mixed up."
The spirit was in a good mood and readily accepted it.
Meng Wanwan gave a few more instructions.
These seeds were obtained in exchange for a request she made to Helian Xiao; they are very precious.
Thinking about this, Meng Wanwan was still worried.
Did this thing eat the seeds?
So she squatted down by the field and watched her plant the seeds.
