Qiao Qiu was deeply troubled by this curse, especially the question of how many more years it would last. Did she want all her future generations to suffer the same fate? No, she had to break this curse.
Even if not for herself, she should at least think of one of her nephews or nieces.
When she was forced into the forbidden area, it was so strange that a dog suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She didn't even know where the dog had come from.
Qiao Qiu shivered, shook her head, and asked Xuan Lan, "Is there any way to break this curse?"
Xuanlan nodded. "Of course there is a way to break this curse, but someone must enter the curse and find a medium that can break it. This medium must be the exact opposite of the curse's incantation."
"What do you mean? You mean this curse contains a medium that can break it?" Qiao Qiu's eyes flashed.
Xuanlan nodded again, "That's right."
"Then what about the hacking medium that came in from the outside?" Qiao Qiu glanced at the ring on her hand.
Xuanlan also noticed the ring on her finger. He reached out, took her hand, and with his other hand, he put two fingers together and touched the flower on the ring. A wisp of immortal energy entered the ring.
Then, under Qiao Qiu's gaze, she took off the ring.
Qiao Qiu was speechless. Wasn't this ring supposed to be impossible to remove?
Xuanlan looked at her expression and couldn't help but laugh. "This ring can be taken off, you just don't know how. And once you take the ring off, you will be controlled by a curse and unable to do anything freely."
Qiao Qiu nodded, agreeing.
“You can take it off here in my Shangqing Palace.” Xuanlan played with the ring. “Qiu’er, leave this ring with me for a few days, and I’ll modify it for you.”
"Okay." Although Qiao Qiu didn't know what he was going to do, she trusted him.
With a flick of her blue sleeve, Xuanlan sent a long golden light across the hall, which was then adorned with red silk and lanterns. With another flick of her finger, a red carpet was laid out on the ground.
Qiao Qiu's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth turned up; she was amazed by his move.
Although she had imagined such a scene, how could it compare to seeing it with her own eyes?
Xuanlan smiled and turned to look at her, "Qiu'er, look, isn't she pretty?"
Qiao Qiu nodded and smiled, "Beautiful, Xuan Lan, you surprised me so much, I'm so happy."
"Qiu'er, let's get married." Xuan Lan looked at her intently. Her smile outshone everything else in the palace. Seeing her smile, he felt that everything in the world was beautiful.
"Okay... wait a minute." Qiao Qiu was almost moved by this tenderness and agreed, but then she suddenly came to her senses and remembered her disciples.
"Wait for what?"
"I need a few people to come and give their blessings for my wedding." Qiao Qiu felt a warm glow in her heart as she thought of her little apprentices. This was the greatest blessing she had ever received in all her lifetimes. How could she possibly leave them out when she got married?
"Waiting for whom?" Xuanlan asked, clearly annoyed.
"Our disciples." Qiao Qiu's lips curled up.
"Hmm? Our...disciple?" Xuanlan was pleased by this statement, and blinked his dark eyes, revealing a hint of clarity.
"Yes, they are my disciples from the cultivation world. They always put me first and are extremely filial. Now that their master is getting married, how can I leave them out?" Qiao Qiu started calculating with her fingers. She couldn't let the protagonist ruin her good disciples.
"Qiu'er, how many apprentices do you have?"
“Eight.” Qiao Qiu closed her eyes and counted carefully.
"How can there be so many?" Xuan Lan looked desperate. When would they ever get to see them?
"Three have passed the tribulation stage, three have reached the fusion stage, and two have reached the Mahayana stage. My disciple is exceptionally talented, and his ascension is only a matter of time. However, the timeframe isn't a major issue."
"That's good." Hearing that they had this level of cultivation, Xuanlan felt much relieved. Cultivating immortality in the lower realm is not as easy as in the upper immortal realm. Spiritual beings in the upper immortal realm, once they cultivate into human form, possess immortal bodies, unlike those in the lower realm.
However, the fact that they were able to cultivate to this level under such circumstances proves that Qiu'er was absolutely right; they are indeed exceptionally gifted.
"What a pity, all these things are just sitting there for nothing..." Xuan Lan raised his hand regretfully, but suddenly, he thought of something, paused, and looked at Qiao Qiu, who was concentrating on calculating with her fingers with her eyes closed.
Well, the wedding ceremony can be held later, but he can consummate the marriage first.
Qiao Qiu was unaware that she had become a little lamb in the eyes of the big bad wolf. When she realized it, she opened her eyes and excitedly said to Xuan Lan, "Xuan Lan, my eldest disciple Gu Yu is about to ascend to immortality."
"Really?" Xuanlan put the ring into her storage bag and asked casually.
“Yes.” Qiao Qiu suddenly felt that something was off about him.
Xuanlan smiled at her, his eyes like fireworks in the sky, intense and dazzling.
Qiao Qiu found his expression a bit puzzling, as if he were seducing her. "Xuan Lan, what are you going to do?"
"Call me Alan." Xuanlan stepped closer.
Qiao Qiu couldn't see his expression, but based on her years of experience with him, she knew this guy was definitely not someone who would drink porridge. "Alan, we're not married yet."
"Yes, we can consummate our marriage first."
Qiao Qiu: "..."
What did she say?
Xuanlan snapped her fingers, and a large number of gardenia petals, dyed red, fell, instantly softening the fiery red carpet on the ground.
"Why has this gardenia turned red?" Qiao Qiu picked up a petal and smelled it.
"This is the color I dyed red with my passion, do you like it?" Xuanlan picked up a petal and placed it in her palm.
Qiao Qiu felt that this guy was flirting with her; his entire body, down to the last hair, was exuding an irresistible charm.
She suddenly realized how terrifying men who have been single for too long are, especially those who claim they'll be single for ten thousand years.
"Um, Lan, are you sure we don't want to spend more time building up our relationship?"
This urge to pounce on his wife every time he sees her must be stopped. Yes, it must be stopped; she has things to do.
Xuanlan brushed a strand of her hair aside and said with a touch of sadness, "I've been lonely for tens of thousands of years before finally waiting for you. Can you bear to do this?"
"Darling, we've only just met. This could easily corrupt a child." Although they were an old married couple who had been through several lifetimes and had lived many shameless and carefree days together, Qiao Qiu felt that this was a bit too abrupt for their first meeting, and she wasn't used to it.
Perhaps sensing her resistance, Xuanlan sighed, "Alright, I won't force you, but you can at least take a look at the flowers I prepared for you."
Qiao Qiu suppressed the urge to jump out of her throat from Xuan Lan's words and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This life was just too cheesy. Luckily, she had enough skill to keep herself in check.
What flower?
Speaking of flowers, Qiao Qiu inexplicably thought of the sea of gardenias behind Shangqing Palace. (For the latest chapters, please visit Tangkexing---Mobile Address:)
