The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 182. Xiao Yan and Han Li
Chapter 182: 182. Xiao Yan and Han Li
"The Xuanji Sect was attacked by the True Mother God Sect? Severe casualties?"
A girl in a black cloak, carrying a giant sword, put down the Heavenly Sword Daily and let out a cold laugh, "Hehe, serves them right."
The ancient ring on the girl’s finger emitted a female voice, "Three hundred years ago, I had dealings with the founding ancestor of the Xuanji Sect, such a brilliant character. Who would have thought their descendants would fall so low as to be bullied by a cult?"
Xiao Yan listened to the Medicine Lady’s soliloquy, but it brought back memories of the past for her.
That was just two years ago, yet looking back, it feels as distant as an old memory.
Two years ago, Xiao Yan and Fang Zhou had just gotten engaged. She secretly went to the Fang Mansion to see Fang Zhou.
With just one look, Xiao Yan fell for this handsome boy with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.
Maybe this is what they call love at first sight.
Full of joy, Xiao Yan secretly vowed to cherish and love Fang Zhou after they got married, to make him the happiest husband in the world.
In this lifetime, she would only marry him, never to look at another man.
But all these beautiful dreams were shattered when Fang Zhou came with people from the Xuanji Sect to break off the engagement.
Xiao Yan hated him. She hated Fang Zhou for humiliating the Xiao Family, hated him for being so heartless to her, and hated his face when he unhesitatingly broke off the engagement to climb up the Xuanji Sect’s social ladder.
It takes just one look to fall in love, and just a moment to turn love into hate.
When Xiao Yan wrote the separation letter, her heart was as pained as it was hateful.
She threw herself into cultivation, pushing her limits to prove Fang Zhou’s choice was wrong. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
One day, Xiao Yan would stand before Fang Zhou and see the regret and tears on his face.
And then she would say — You don’t deserve me!!
Feeling Xiao Yan’s suppressed emotions, the Medicine Lady hiding in the ring sighed slightly.
She considered Xiao Yan her true disciple, almost like a daughter, and didn’t want to see her getting stuck on such things lest it becomes a mental demon that could be a fatal flaw in future cultivation.
The Medicine Lady suddenly advised, "Don’t think too much about it. The Xuanji Sect has always had a bad reputation. Maybe your fiancé broke off the engagement to protect the Xiao Family."
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. The Medicine Lady always tried to comfort her in this way, urging her not to dwell on it.
Life isn’t easy. Betrayal is fairly common.
Xiao Yan had also fantasized that way. Sometimes she even wondered if that subtle smile Fang Zhou had before he left had a hidden meaning she couldn’t understand?
But she dared not think this way, fearing that the more she thought about it, the more she would hypnotize herself, and she would only be more disappointed when she found out the truth.
"No need to say more, Medicine Lady. No matter what the truth is, in three years I’ll go to the Xuanji Sect and demand justice for myself," Xiao Yan said firmly. All she hoped now was that Fang Zhou wouldn’t die in the conflict between the Xuanji Sect and the cult, so she wouldn’t find only a grave when she confronted him three years later.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s resolute expression, the Medicine Lady sighed lightly and dared not say more.
Just then, a figure silently appeared behind Xiao Yan and patted her shoulder, "Thinking about your fiancé again?"
Xiao Yan was startled. Instinctively grabbing her giant sword, she relaxed upon hearing the familiar voice. She turned and said with a wry smile, "Sister Li, stop teasing me."
Han Li smiled slightly, "Seeing you frown every day, be careful you don’t grow old before your time and turn into an old woman."
Xiao Yan touched her nose and just smiled bitterly without saying a word.
The two had met by chance dozens of days ago, fought due to some misunderstandings, and ended up becoming close friends.
With compatible personalities, they connected instantly, almost becoming sworn sisters.
If Fang Zhou were here, he would be greatly surprised. Han Li had changed dramatically. Her once dark skin had become fair and smooth, and her appearance had turned from ordinary to breathtakingly beautiful.
Standing together, she and Xiao Yan looked like two competing flowers in full bloom.
Han Li wrapped an arm around Xiao Yan’s shoulder and laughed, "Don’t worry, Sister Yan. If you want to go to the Xuanji Sect to settle accounts with your fiancé in three years, I’ll help you. Even if you want to capture him, I’ll hold him down for you."
Seeing Han Li becoming more outrageous with her words, Xiao Yan had to retaliate, "Don’t just talk about me. Is your brother-in-law still in the Cloud Sea Mountains?"
Han Li’s cheeks blushed like a peach, "Don’t talk nonsense. Nothing has been settled yet."
Since meeting, the two had become like-minded, often talking late into the night about everything.
Xiao Yan had talked about her fiancé, and Han Li had naturally shared her adventure at the Lanruo Temple in the Wild Tomb Ridge and the man who moved her heart.
Coincidentally, Xiao Yan never mentioned her fiancé’s name, and Han Li didn’t reveal the name of the man she liked.
Xiao Yan didn’t want to bring up a name that caused her pain, while Han Li kept Fang Zhou’s request to herself, not to casually disclose his name.
Otherwise, Han Li would have already told Xiao Yan. Despite not knowing his name, Xiao Yan still called him brother-in-law.
"He’s indeed in the Cloud Sea Mountains and has invited me to stay with him," Han Li admitted generously, "At that time, you can join me, and we’ll live in seclusion together."
Xiao Yan showed her signature wry smile. As a single woman, would she go there just to watch the two of them flaunting their love?
After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Han Li also donned a black cloak that concealed her figure, and the two of them plunged into the dense forest.
In less than half an hour, a caravan passed through the forest path.
Lying in ambush in the woods, Xiao Yan was the first to make a move. Intense red flames burst from her hands, instantly turning the area ahead into a sea of fire.
Han Li followed closely, her longsword flying out of her hand, casting a green glow.
Judging by their prowess, it was evident that they were both in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Even though the caravan had two Foundation Establishment escorts, they were no match for Xiao Yan and Han Li and were quickly defeated.
In the center of the caravan was a large iron chest on a horse-drawn carriage. Xiao Yan drew her giant sword and split the chest in half, but it turned out to be empty.
Xiao Yan grabbed one of the Foundation Establishment escorts and demanded, "Where is the Exotic Species True Fire?"
The man, barely clinging to life, replied, "It has already been secretly sent to Iron Sword Mountain."
The Exotic Species True Fire was a special kind of flame that Xiao Yan needed for her cultivation. Han Li, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, still had Jiao Poison in her body, which this flame could help cleanse.
Hearing that the Exotic Species True Fire had been sent to Iron Sword Mountain, Xiao Yan frowned. That was the territory of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which was even more formidable than the Xuanji Sect.
However, Xiao Yan quickly turned to Han Li and smiled mischievously, "Sister Li, Iron Sword Mountain is in the Cloud Sea Mountains. Shall we see brother-in-law?"
Han Li was slightly stunned but then showed a beautiful smile that even mesmerized Xiao Yan.
"Hmm, I’ll introduce you when the time comes."
