Bold Witch, Don’T Hurt My Husband

Chapter 27: The Current Situation of the Women

Indeed, there are always people who want to live off others, no matter which world they are in. Xiao Fengshan is a perfect example of someone who is taking advantage of others.

"Brother Shan, do you know about the Dao Sect's grand competition?"

After drinking who knows how much, the two of them were starting to get a little tipsy. Although they were both cultivators, alcohol still affected them.

Moreover, they were both experts in drinking, so they couldn't do something as tasteless as what Duan Yu did. What's the point of drinking if you're going to expel the alcohol from your body through cultivation?

"The grand competition? Yeah, isn't it already over?"

Although this kind of thing was insignificant to someone of his cultivation level, it only happened once every ten years, so he still knew about it.

"So how did our demonic sect perform? Did we get first place?"

"First place my ass! We didn't even make it to the top three. It's so frustrating. This batch of disciples is the worst I've ever seen."

Xia Fan: ...

What's with this teacher-like attitude? Do cultivators also care about the performance of each batch?

"Really? Is our demonic sect that weak?" Xia Fan asked with some confusion. In his opinion, the demonic sect was an apex-level sect and shouldn't be that bad. It's really unexpected that they didn't even make it to the top three.

"We're not weak, but theoretically, our demonic sect has always been on par with the other six apex-level sects. The other sects are just one level below."

"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you!"

"Me?" Xia Fan couldn't help but be stunned. He hadn't left the demonic sect for ten years, so how could everything be related to him?

"Do you remember the people you met in Bright City of Jiang Country ten years ago?"

Xia Fan nodded. It was hard to forget. If it weren't for this guy intercepting him halfway, he might have gone to the other sects.

Fortunately, his current wife's appearance was stunning. Otherwise, he would have felt that he missed out by not choosing Celestial Fragrance Gate. After all, entering a women's school was the dream of every man!

"It's strange to say, but those five women who were present back then are all extraordinary now. The first place in this grand competition is Lu Qing from Celestial Fragrance Gate, the second place is Qian Qian from Four Seas Pavilion, and the third place is Qi Wan'er from Cloud Sea Academy. Fortunately, the two women from Dao Sect and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain have reached the Transcendent Realm. Our ranking this time will drop by two places!"

"If I hadn't brought you back personally, I would have thought you had married several wives outside!"

Xia Fan: ...

Xiao Fengshan knew a little about his wife's situation because he followed him back then. However, he didn't know about Xia Fan signing marriage contracts with others.

At that time, Xia Fan was still recovering from his injuries, and his cultivation level was not high enough. Almost everyone present was an elder of the sect, and there were even experts in the Transcendent Realm. Compared to them, Xiao Fengshan was just a junior and naturally couldn't participate.

In recent years, Dao Sect's Qing Jun and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain's Jiang Ningyun were undoubtedly the most dazzling figures. Since signing the marriage contracts, both of them have had some adventures and reached the Transcendent Realm before the age of thirty. In the past two years, they have even made it onto the ranking list, although they were at the bottom. It was still amazing.

The marriage contracts were signed, but all the sects tacitly kept the news secret, so the outside world had no idea that these outstanding young male cultivators were already taken.

Ten years ago, except for Celestial Fragrance Gate, the most outstanding disciples of each sect were almost all male. But now, it's different. Several female cultivators have risen at the same time, surpassing the male geniuses within their respective sects, causing some of the original geniuses to decline.

"Hey, why are you asking about the grand competition? Are you planning to test your skills right after reaching the Transcendent Realm?"

"Listen to your brother's advice. You're still young, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to show your abilities in the future. When your cultivation level is higher, I'll take you out to broaden your horizons. I guarantee that you'll make a splash in the grand competition ten years from now!"

"You know, your brother Shan was once the most talented person in the demonic sect, surpassing everyone else. There's no problem at all!"

This wasn't bragging. Xiao Fengshan was indeed the most talented person in the demonic sect in nearly a hundred years. He reached the Transcendent Realm at thirteen, the Gold Core Realm at seventeen, became a Transcendent Being at twenty-three, and had a fortuitous encounter that allowed him to enter the Sea Transformation Realm in his early thirties. He was definitely the protagonist.

Even if Lu Qing and the others have obtained his luck, there is still a gap compared to Xiao Fengshan. Of course, this is related to their process.

They only signed the marriage contract, without any public announcement or worship of heaven and earth, so the luck they can obtain is limited.

Jiang Ningyun and Qing Jun are both a bit older. The reason they were able to appear in Bright City in the first place was not because they were outstanding talents, but simply because one of them had a background and the other was an outstanding young female disciple of the Dao Sect, although there was still some gap compared to the true geniuses within the sect.

He was just curious about the sect's grand competition and not very interested. He never thought about making a name for himself there. However, going out for experience was still possible. After all, anyone who had been in the Demon Sect for ten years would want to go out and explore.

"Alright, it's settled then. We'll rely on you, Big Brother, when the time comes. Here, I'll toast to you!"

"No need to be polite between brothers. Cheers!"

Soon, the two of them started to get tipsy. At this moment, a rustling sound came from the nearby bushes.

"Hiss~"

A small white snake, completely snow-white, was staring at the wine jar next to the two of them. The spiritual power emitted by the spirit wine attracted it instinctively.

Soon, the white snake slowly approached the two of them and crawled towards the wine jar while they were not paying attention.

"Hehe~ I was just thinking that we didn't have any appetizers. Looks like it's here!" Xiao Fengshan chuckled lightly and reached out to grab the white snake.

"Brother, do you know how to cook snake meat?"

Hearing this, Xia Fan instinctively turned his head and saw Xiao Fengshan holding a small white snake that was less than three feet long, completely snow-white like jade, and very beautiful.

"This snake is interesting. It would be a pity to eat it. How about we let it go?"

Although it was a snake, it had a faint spiritual power fluctuation on its body. Obviously, it was a snake with a hint of intelligence.

Saying that, Xia Fan grabbed the white snake and played with it in his hands.

"Huh? You're unexpectedly kind-hearted? I saw you enjoying the spirit fish from Mirror Moon Valley!" Qing Jun responded disdainfully.

Big Brother didn't say anything, but Second Brother, why are you pretending to be a good person?

While playing with the white snake, Xia Fan suddenly noticed a faint wound on its body. He immediately activated his spiritual power and prepared to give it a simple treatment using the Longevity Technique. At the same time, he said:

"In our hometown, there is a legend that if you encounter a white snake or a fox, it's best not to eat it. Maybe it's a fox fairy or a snake fairy. After they transform, they will come back as beautiful women to repay kindness with their bodies!"

After all, the stories of "Liaozhai" and "Legend of the White Snake" were deeply ingrained in people's hearts. This snake looked so beautiful, so it must become a beautiful woman after transforming.

In response, Xiao Fengshan nodded while saying, "Snake demons and fox demons do indeed have good looks after transforming, but..."

"But what?"

"But you better take a good look, this damn snake is male!"

Xia Fan: ...

Damn, how embarrassing. Stereotypes are harmful!

Then Xiao Fengshan stuffed the white snake into a nearby brown wine jar, added some spirit wine, and waved his hand. Some low-aged ginseng and wild goji berries appeared on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Fengshan asked.

"This snake is injured, so I'm going to clean its wound and give it some supplements. Ah, I don't know when it will recover. It's really pitiful!"

Xiao Fengshan: →_→
