"Go look up the gift list." Su Xi slammed her hand on the table impatiently.
It creaked.
The ancient pine table split open.
Su Xi suppressed her anger and startled the Sparrow Clan Chief so much that he frantically produced a mountain of gift lists.
Song Tingwan noticed that she was not in a good mood, so she handed her a bottle of calming drink.
Su Xi sighed, lowered her brows, and took two sips.
She could actually smell the Lion Clan's scent on the luminous pearl, but she still found it hard to believe.
Are the lions courting death?
They dared to cause such trouble.
It wasn't enough to start a war with the White Tiger Clan; the Sparrow Clan also wanted to get involved.
Su Xi's gaze involuntarily fell on the Song Tingwan sisters.
Their father was right; the Lion Clan was doomed to extinction sooner or later if they continued like this.
What a piece of trash.
"Found it! It's a gift from the Lion Clan!"
The Sparrow Clan Chief quickly found them, and after speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then belatedly realized how angry he had become.
"What does the Lion Clan mean by this? There aren't many hairless races in the demon realm. If I hadn't ordered the ailing clan chief to be separated and the clan sealed off, the entire demon realm would have become hairless demons."
As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Su Xi, then at the Demon King.
They are foxes with fur too.
Harming them would be tantamount to harming both the Venerable One and the Fox Clan.
The eye drops were applied very successfully.
Su Xi was even angrier, and the Demon King was also gritting his teeth.
If Song Tingwan hadn't arrived at the right time, she would have become the hairless demon king.
"Venerable One, call me when you go to the Lion Clan to beat them up."
Su Xi chuckled, "I never hit people."
Sparrow Clan Chief: ...
Demon King: ...
"Yes, Your Excellency. Call me when you go to the Lion Clan for exchanges."
Su Xi nodded happily and agreed.
"Shall we go back to the Bamboo Garden? And wait until you've dealt with this matter before going to the Wolf Clan?"
Song Siyao asked the question on behalf of everyone.
Upon hearing this, the Sparrow Clan Chief quickly urged them to stay, saying, "We haven't had a chance to properly thank you all yet. Today, the Sparrow Clan is hosting a banquet, and we hope you will do us the honor of joining us."
The thank-you gift they prepared was still not substantial enough.
He'll go and loot the treasure vault again, then he'll properly thank Venerable Pillow Sleep.
And... Venerable Pillow Sleep's undisguised desire for fame.
The Sparrow Clan will surely grant her wish.
Even without his orders, the clansmen were probably already making a fuss on the spirit network.
The wolf pack will surely follow them.
The young and handsome man gave Song Tingwan a deep look. She was only a hundred years old, yet she was so capable.
The title of Venerable One belongs to her alone.
However, the people around her were all extraordinary, and it is likely that they will one day leave their mark on the Six Realms.
We must befriend them!
"Stay here, Venerable Pillow Sleep, and this young sect leader Qin Xi. I've heard you have a fondness for beautiful women. Every member of my Peacock Clan is quite handsome. In a moment—"
"Hey hey hey—"
"stop!"
Qin Xi blushed and quickly stopped him.
I stiffly turned my head and, as expected, met everyone's amused gazes.
It's so embarrassing to say these things in front of a bunch of good friends!
"Alright, let's stay and see for ourselves."
Song Tingwan suppressed a laugh and glanced at Qin Yuanyuan with her sister, teasing her.
The rest of the people also agreed.
Once they were taken to the guest courtyard, they burst into laughter.
"Qin Yuanyuan, your reputation over the years has truly been... hahaha—"
Baili Xijiang laughed so hard his stomach hurt, and he was so overwhelmed by the laughter that he couldn't straighten up from his slumped position on the stone table.
Wan Qiji also smiled and looked away.
Song Siyao and Shen Zhuochuan followed beside Song Tingwan, both with the same smile.
"Our Qin Yuanyuan's fondness for beautiful women has truly remained unchanged for centuries."
Song Tingwan feigned jealousy and made sarcastic remarks.
Qin Xi glared at her, embarrassed and annoyed. She pushed her sister aside and shook her arm, which was still holding her, with a wronged expression.
"That's because you weren't here. To cheer me up, Father found the list of beauties from back then to keep me company. To keep Father from worrying, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go."
Song Tingwan chuckled and refused to look at her.
Song Siyao suddenly asked, "So, did you enjoy watching it?"
Feeling guilty, Qin Xi looked up at the sky and the ground, "...I'm actually quite happy."
After saying that, he immediately added while touching Song Tingwan's hand, "Of course, none of them can compare to Wan'er!"
"You don't know, but one year later, a certain power sent a beauty who looked just like Wan'er to kill me. That person was no match for Wan'er at all, and I saw through her at a glance!"
She even became proud as she spoke.
Everyone also recalled the years they spent searching for Song Tingwan, during which they met many people who resembled her.
"Over the years, there have been many people who have imitated Wan'er, countless even in the Demon Realm."
Wan Qiji spoke with a smile.
But it's not hard to tell that he also went there many times to follow the trail.
Everyone smiled knowingly, and Song Tingwan felt a pang of sadness.
“The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn’t know how long I would disappear. I’m sorry to have worried you.”
"Oh, what are you saying? We're already extremely grateful that you're back."
Qin Xi interrupted her, and Shen Zhuochuan lowered his gaze, unwilling to hear her say such things.
Baili Xijiang pushed past his uncle, leaned close to his master, and pouted, "Master, you have no idea, back then they were all like madmen, completely different from how they were in front of you."
The little black dragon wanted to say more, but Shen Zhuochuan and Wan Qiji covered its mouth and dragged it away.
But Song Tingwan could guess what was left unsaid.
I felt even more guilty.
"Alright, alright, let's look forward to tonight's banquet! I wonder what delicious food we'll have."
Qin Xi smiled and changed the subject.
Song Tingwan also joined in the small talk.
