Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 15: Senior, may I ask your age?

A highly anticipated poetry gathering ended with a somewhat anticlimactic result - the winner turned out to be someone whose name was unknown to all. This caused quite a stir among the crowd, but the royal family remained indifferent, leaving the officials puzzled. However, a few people knew that this was actually a game between cultivators.

In this poetry gathering, the position of the imperial consort was left unresolved, and what remained was a timeless masterpiece, "Spring River Flower Moon Night," which circulated among scholars and young ladies' chambers.

Everyone was curious to meet the person who could produce such poetry, but there was no news whatsoever.

"Miss, are we going to settle down here from now on?" Outside Bright City, in an ordinary farmhouse, stood two women, Lou Qingxue and Cai Xia, carrying simple luggage on their backs.

However, Lou Qingxue, who used to wear splendid dresses, now wore plain linen clothes and replaced her golden hairpin with a wooden hairpin. Cai Xia did the same.

"Yes, but I'm afraid the days ahead will be more difficult than before. You need to be prepared!" Lou Qingxue chuckled as she smoothed her hair away from her forehead.

Even in plain clothes, her stunning beauty couldn't be concealed. She even seemed to exude a hint of charm, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

"Of course, now that we have redeemed ourselves, it's great. It would be even better if Young Master Xia were here!" Cai Xia looked around their future home, first happy, then a bit disappointed.

It turned out that on the night they returned from the Wei River, Yang Mama returned their contracts of indenture and took them to the top floor, where they met Qian Youliang and his daughter.

Knowing that the person in front of them had helped them redeem themselves, Lou Qingxue and Cai Xia were naturally grateful. However, they also knew that they were not people from the same world, so they simply waited quietly for the other party to speak.

As expected, Qian Youliang only asked her to write a letter to Xia Fan in his name and didn't ask them to do anything else.

The next morning, holding their contracts of indenture, the two quietly left the bustling Bright City and came to the outskirts, using their money to buy a house and a few acres of land.

"It's alright. Now that we are both free, we don't have to rely on others anymore."

"However, although I still have some money, I can't spend it recklessly like before. Let's stay in Bright City. When Xiao Fan comes back, at least we'll have a home!"

As the first courtesan of Bright City, Lou Qingxue had accumulated quite a bit of wealth, at least for ordinary people. However, her previous identity meant that she couldn't live in the city like an ordinary person or engage in any business.

If she did so, it would undoubtedly attract unnecessary trouble and attention. Besides, she had long been tired of that kind of life. This place was much quieter and she could live comfortably with her own plot of land.

Changing into coarse clothes and linen was also to avoid revealing her wealth and bid farewell to her past self.

"Alright, hurry up and tidy up, let's get ready to cook!"

"Yes, Miss!"

After saying that, Cai Xia eagerly started working, while Lou Qingxue stared blankly into the distance at the Wei River.

"I wonder how Xiao Fan is doing now, he must be safe and sound!"

"Miss, come quickly!"

"Alright, I'm coming!"

With a turn, they were worlds apart.

Xia Fan slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt a splitting headache. His last memory was preparing to make his life's decision by the Wei River, and also deciding on his future wife, but the next second everything went black.

"He's awake, he's awake, Master, look, this child is awake!"

Before Xia Fan could recover his senses, he immediately noticed the circle of people surrounding him. Men, women, young and old, all dressed in black.

Xia Fan struggled to sit up. Although he was somewhat panicked, he didn't start crying like a child of his age. Instead, he carefully observed the people present.

There were a total of seven people, five men and two women. The leader was an old man with gray hair, but his face had no wrinkles.

Beside the old man was an old man with bruises on his face and blood stains on his body, it was Shi Sanjin.

It had been over half a month since they had snatched people to Bright City. During this period, he and Xiao Fengshan had encountered the pursuit and interception of the Dao Sect and others several times. It was a great effort to return to the sect, and that was how he ended up with these injuries.

"Old Shi, did you find the wrong person? This child doesn't seem like someone who can help the Mirror Moon Valley Ancestor!" One of the women, full of vigor, questioned.

Immediately, a soft and charming voice echoed, "Exactly, this little brother is quite handsome, but unfortunately a bit too young. Wait another twenty years and he will definitely be a dashing young man. I like him the most, sister!"

"Master, how about handing this child over to me for training?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but turn his head to look at the owner of the voice. This voice was too seductive.

He saw a woman dressed in a black veil dress, with a seductive figure, smiling as she looked at him. Her eyes seemed to speak, captivating people. Her snow-white collarbone and neck were exposed, and her slender legs were faintly visible under the black dress.

"Lin Su, put away your charm skills! This child has no cultivation!"

The dignified woman on the side hurriedly spoke.

"It's alright."

The sect master, an old man, looked at Xia Fan's clear eyes and chuckled.

"This child is too young, only possessing the innocent aura of a child. He has not yet awakened the Yang Origin, so he is not affected by charm skills!"

Xia Fan:

He was just about to ask what charm skills were, but someone told him in the next second that it was because he had not yet awakened the male Yang Origin, so he naturally had immunity to the divine ability of seducing women.

This was too damn reasonable.

"It is indeed him. Sanjin did not make a mistake. Your cultivation has not reached the top three realms, so you cannot detect the anomaly on him."

The sect master looked at Xia Fan, his mouth slightly upturned, smiling like a gentle breeze.

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent, and their gazes towards Xia Fan became filled with a burning desire.

"Sect master, does that mean he can..."

The woman in black hesitated to speak.

"I'm not sure, but this should be the most hopeful method."

Seeing the casual discussion of the few people, Xia Fan couldn't help but speak up.

"I am Xia Fan, I have seen the seniors. May I know where this place is and why I am here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then couldn't help but find it amusing. Xia Fan's appearance as a little adult was quite interesting.

"This is the Demon Sect. Do you know what the Demon Sect is? We are all demons here, the kind that eats children!" Lin Su, the enchanting woman, took a step forward and deliberately put on a fierce and intimidating look to scare him.

Upon hearing this, Xia Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. With your appearance, who would you scare?

"Hey? Why aren't you scared? You're such a boring child!" Seeing that he was not moved, Lin Su couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

"This is indeed the Demon Sect. One of our elders brought you here, but it seems like you are not afraid?" The old man with white hair and a youthful face asked.

This also surprised them. A child who possessed such maturity in his thinking was obviously not simple.

Bullshit, I'm about to pee: "What is there to be afraid of? Do you seniors really need to go through so much trouble to deal with a child like me?"

"I have always aspired to cultivate, it's the same no matter where!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was initially stunned, but then several men couldn't help but burst into laughter. Shi Sanjin even laughed and said, "Hey, based on this state of mind, this kid is really suitable for our Demon Sect, not bad!"

The rest of the people present also nodded.

"Alright, everyone prepare. Pass on my order. Those whose cultivation has reached the Celestial Phenomenon realm must return to the sect tomorrow at noon to participate in the marriage ceremony of the Mirror Moon Valley's ancestor. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, then turned into streaks of light and left.

"A marriage ceremony? With whom? Shouldn't it be an apprenticeship ceremony?" Xia Fan stuttered.

"Let's skip the apprenticeship. Once you marry the ancestor of Mirror Moon Valley, she will naturally personally teach you. If we juniors take on apprentices, won't it mess up the generations?"

"Ancestor? Senior, how old are you?"

"I have been cultivating for over seven hundred years!"

Xia Fan:

How old is a ancestor who is over seven hundred years old? A thousand-year-old monster? If I had known, I would have just joined those few families casually. At least they were all young and beautiful women.

Swallowing his saliva, Xia Fan revealed an ugly smile and said, "Senior, marriage is a big matter that requires careful consideration. How about we wait a little longer?"

"No need, let's get married first. Once the rice is cooked, we can talk about it!"

Xia Fan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Damn it, it really is the Demon Sect, a group of bandits.
