Chapter 285 Old Loli, Seducing Your Father
The moon was bright and the stars were numerous, and the cold wind wrapped with sand and dust eroded the sandstone standing alone in the Gobi Desert, carving out one strangely shaped sculpture after another with supernatural craftsmanship.
A veiled girl sat casually at the edge of a cliff, facing the desert shimmering with a faint blue glow under the moonlight. She lightly shook a jade bell engraved with “A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix” between two fingers.
Jingle bells~~ Jingle bells~~
The bell’s sound was light and pleasant, but it was incongruous with the harsh, arid environment of the place.
Si Xuanji rubbed her feet with her left hand, and her Yin-Yang Twin Pupils silently observed the spiritual sword light that occasionally flashed from the other side of the sand dune. She sighed, “Ai—”
Gulu—!!!
In the next moment, a giant insect, like a centipede, broke through the sand and leaped into the air.
A green spiritual sword was inserted into the back of the giant insect, and a young girl with light purple hair was desperately holding onto the sword and shouting, “Mother! Save me!!!”
Si Xuanji indifferently watched her daughter, who was hanging on the “sand dragon,” as if ignoring her. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and narrowed her eyes.
A tiny black dot flickered in the night sky.
As soon as Si Xuanji saw it, she quickly raised her right hand. A parrot with a golden crown swooped down from the sky and landed on the tiger’s mouth of her right hand.
“How is it on the Sword Sect’s side?”
Ah Parrot opened its beak and chirped, “Both good eggs lost! Both good eggs lost!!”
?
A hint of surprise flashed in Si Xuanji’s Yin-Yang eyes, and her eyebrows twitched slightly. Then, she let out a chuckle, “Pfft—Young Master Ye truly defies the heavens. Not only did he get past that Yun Kunwu, but he also castrated his father? This is something I didn’t expect. However, Taixu Zi’s wish has been fulfilled.”
—”Mother!!!”
Xiao Yunluo’s cry for help came from afar again. Ah Parrot heard it, glanced over, and chirped, “Lost beloved daughter! Lost beloved daughter!!”
“Not yet.”
Si Xuanji glanced at it and then sighed. She looked in the direction of her daughter, raised her hands, and with her left and right index fingers and thumbs, framed the sand dragon leaping into the air between her fingertips and blew gently.
The sand dragon’s figure was instantly frozen in mid-air. In the next moment, its body, tens of feet long, twisted like a spiral, rotating dozens of times before breaking in half and crashing into the sand below.
Boom—
The sand dragon’s body collided with the ground, sending sand and dust soaring hundreds of feet into the sky.
Xiao Yunluo poked her head out of the sand, looking disheveled, and desperately spat out the sand from her mouth, “Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—” She looked at the sand dragon, which had suddenly broken in half not far away, and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing her mother had intervened. However, she quickly became nervous again.
Just then, a small hand grabbed her by the back of her neck and pulled her out of the sand pile like a cat.
“Honestly, if you can’t handle it yourself, why did you provoke it?”
Xiao Yunluo pouted and looked at Si Xuanji, who was half a head shorter than her, with a wronged expression. “Mom, I got lost. You didn’t tell me this was the Sand Dragon’s nest, and I’ve never been to the Central Domain…”
Si Xuanji frowned and corrected her, “Call me sister. We agreed when we left. I’m accompanying you to the Central Domain as your sister. Do you remember? If you call me wrong again next time, I’ll spank your butt.”
“Ah… Yes.”
Xiao Yunluo lowered her head in response, but she was still confused. Why was she her sister?
“Then, Sister Xuanji…”
Si Xuanji’s expression changed, and she said with a smile, “What is it? Sister…”
“Why are you my sister?”
—”To seduce your father! To seduce your…”
Si Xuanji reached out and pinched Ah Parrot’s beak, which was perched on her shoulder, and replied with a smile, “It sounds younger, and I look it too, don’t I? Hehe—You must protect me well when we’re outside, sister.”
Xiao Yunluo was speechless. She looked at Ah Parrot, paused for a moment, and asked, “Is Ah Parrot sick?”
“Hmm?”
“I always feel like Ah Parrot has been saying strange things lately, and I don’t understand him.”
“Is that so?” Si Xuanji turned and looked at Ah Parrot, gently poking its golden crown feathers with her finger. “Ah Parrot, are you sick?”
“No! No!!”
Si Xuanji smiled and repeated, “Ah Parrot says he is not sick.”
Xiao Yunluo always felt that Ah Parrot seemed to have been threatened by her mother, but she didn’t dare to say anything. She could only nod hesitantly, “Where are we going next? Which direction is Jade Pass?”
“Look at the map, look at the stars. If the Young Master of the Xuan Xing Sect is lost, it won’t sound good.”
“Oh…”
Xiao Yunluo pouted, glanced at the sand dragon not far away with a helpless expression, took out the map, compared it with the stars in the sky, found the direction, and walked forward.
Crossing one sand dune, they encountered another. She was a little tired and looked around, unable to find anything for reference. All she could see was the Gobi and sand bleached white by the moonlight.
“Sister Xuanji, why can’t we fly on our swords?”
“In the Central Domain, except for the Imperial Sect, the Xing Tian Division, and a few individuals, any cultivator who flies on their sword is treated as a criminal cultivator. The Central Domain is a celestial realm where the Four Domains converge. It’s crowded and mixed, and prohibiting flying makes it easier to apprehend people. There are road patrols between towns.”
Xiao Yunluo pouted and looked at her mother’s feet on the sand, asking, “Then, Sister Xuanji, do you have any mechanical horses? Isn’t walking on the sand uncomfortable?”
“Mmm…” Si Xuanji paused for a moment, then easily climbed onto Xiao Yunluo’s back and clung to her. “Sister, since you care so much about your sister, you should carry me.”
“…”
Xiao Yunluo almost wanted to slap herself. Why did she have to ask that? But she could only bear it.
Just then, the sound of a bell came from the other side of the sand dune.
Jingle bells—
The bell sounded slightly low, like a camel bell.
Xiao Yunluo paused and quickly ran up the sand dune with Si Xuanji on her back, looking down. A caravan pulling several carts of spirit ore was moving below, guarded by more than ten cultivators at the Mid Foundation Establishment stage and two cultivators at the Core Formation stage. They looked like escorts.
She paused and quickly waved, shouting, “Wait!!”
Whoosh—
Presumably thinking Xiao Yunluo was a robber, the cultivators at the Mid Foundation Establishment stage in the caravan immediately looked at her nervously. However, upon seeing Xiao Yunluo’s pale yellow skirt, they looked confused.
A Core Formation cultivator at the front walked up and asked, “Fellow cultivator, may I ask your purpose for stopping us?”
“Ah…” Xiao Yunluo cupped her hands in greeting and replied, “I am a cultivator from the Xuan Xing Sect in the Western Regions… This is my sister. We were originally heading to Jade Pass, but we got lost. May we travel with you seniors? Of course, we will provide spirit stones.”
The Core Formation cultivator glanced at Xiao Yunluo and Si Xuanji, one at the Late Foundation Establishment stage and the other at the Early Foundation Establishment stage, and did not refuse. “If you provide spirit stones, it’s fine.”
“Thank you!”
