Bound to the Multiverse Restaurant, I'm now the darling of my staff.

"Wen Nuan, you stop right there!"

Nuannuan, who was walking down the mountain road, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this angry shout.

Again!

She turned around and looked at the aggressive-looking person with a displeased expression, her warm tone remaining calm.

"Miss Lin, what can I do for you?"

She knew this woman would definitely come looking for her as soon as she agreed to become Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable's disciple.

At this moment, Lin Wanrou had lost her usual gentle and sweet demeanor; her eyes were filled with anger.

"What do you mean? I was the one who wanted to become Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao's disciple first, so why are you ruining my plans?"

Hearing this, Wen Nuan was so angry at the woman's unreasonable arguments that she laughed.

"Please get this straight, it's Master who doesn't want to take you as a disciple, it has nothing to do with me."

She curled her lips in a mocking smile. "Instead of wasting your time here with me, you should go back and think carefully about why your master came to me but refused to accept you as a disciple."

"you……"

Lin Wanrou's eyes were practically spitting fire as she gritted her teeth and said.

"If it weren't for you... he would never have treated me like this!"

She shrugged and said innocently, "Well, I'm really sorry, but who can blame me for being prettier and more talented than you? After all, who doesn't know how to choose between a pearl and a fish eye?"

Lin Wanrou's eyes were like knives, as if she wanted to skin this woman alive.

How dare you call her a fish eye?

Lin Wanrou, filled with anger, saw the two men following behind her and a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes.

"I advise you not to be fooled by this woman; you're just fish in her pond."

"Hey, you..."

Just as Wen Nuan was about to retort, Ludwig pulled her back from behind. The man smiled, raised his hand, and gently tucked the hair from Wen Nuan's cheek behind her ear.

"I'm willing to stay by her side as long as I can."

This means that even though he knows he's just a backup option, he has no complaints.

Such a gentle, devoted, and incredibly handsome man, and he wasn't hers! Lin Wanrou, who had originally intended to sow discord, became even angrier.

Wen Nuan assumed that Ludwig was deliberately trying to annoy Lin Wanrou, and secretly gave Ludwig a "good job" look, while throwing a smug look at Lin Wanrou in return.

Only Chu Ze frowned and glared at Ludwig.

Hey you, where are you putting your hands? Don't you know any manners?

Having been outmaneuvered time and again, Lin Wanrou initially wanted to teach her a lesson by taking direct action, but then she thought that would be too easy on this bitch.

She wanted to make this man kneel down and beg for mercy in front of everyone!

Let Xuanxiao know that not choosing him was the biggest mistake he ever made!

Thinking of this, Lin Wanrou's face showed a hint of smugness again, and she sneered.

"Warmth, tomorrow's arena match, let's have a fair duel, do you dare?"

These words made Wen Nuan's eyes widen in surprise as she looked at her. "Lin Wanrou, your shamelessness has truly refreshed my understanding of you once again."

Her voice was filled with disbelief, "You, a Golden Core cultivator, challenge someone like me who has never cultivated before? And you don't even blush! I truly admire you!"

Faint chuckles could be heard from the surrounding area. It was the other people coming down the mountain who found Wen Nuan's funny words amusing and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Wanrou felt her blood rushing to her head. The laughter of the people around her made her completely lose her mind, and she couldn't care less about anything else.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you dare or not?"

Wen Nuan snorted, her delicate eyebrows furrowing in displeasure.

"Why would I agree to a duel that's unfair from the start? Am I stupid?"

Not only her, but also the people coming down the mountain who heard Lin Wanrou's words had incredulous expressions on their faces.

It is unprecedented in the cultivation world for someone at the Golden Core stage to fight against someone who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage or has never cultivated for a single day.

In their view, this behavior could even be described as shameless.

Moreover, the one who brought this up was none other than Fairy Lingxiao, who has always been hailed by the outside world as the dream lover of male cultivators in the cultivation world!

Noticing the gazes of those people, Lin Wanrou bit her lip. She knew that after today, her reputation would probably be ruined.

But she simply couldn't swallow this insult!

Moreover, she wouldn't have a moment's peace as long as this woman named Wen Nuan wasn't eliminated; she couldn't care less about anything else.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Wanrou took something from her neck and placed it in her palm.

"This is the Purifying Jade, which has the power of purification. It can sweep away the turbidity in the body of cultivators and resist the erosion of external turbidity."

A hint of struggle flashed in Lin Wanrou's eyes, indicating that this was indeed a good thing. She paused for a moment, then continued.

"Wearing it will allow the cultivator's meridians and blood to flow smoothly, and their spiritual roots to become purer. Whether in a filthy place or a place filled with evil energy, it can keep the cultivator safe and sound."

"If you defeat me, this divine jade is yours."

This divine jade was bestowed upon her by the Lin family patriarch, and it is said to have been obtained from a secret realm.

If it weren't for the fact that she was the most talented person in the Lin family this generation, she wouldn't have gotten this good thing.

Wen Nuan looked at the divine jade with great interest.

This must be a magical artifact from the cultivation world, right? It sounds amazing!

Moreover, judging from what Lin Wanrou just said, this divine jade will definitely be of great help to her cultivation.

Since we've already decided to cultivate, we should naturally have as many good things as possible.

Warm eyes darted around, then glanced at Lin Wanrou, and said deliberately.

"Let me make this clear first, I don't have any of your good stuff to use as bets."

Lin Wanrou smiled smugly, "I didn't expect you to come up with anything good anyway."

After all, not everyone is as lucky as her; being born into the right family is a skill.

Lin Wanrou shook the divine jade in her hand, her eyes filled with coldness.

"If you win, the prize is yours, and I won't bother you again. But if you lose..."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips. "If you lose, stay away from Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao from now on, and the matter of becoming his disciple is off!"

Wen Nuan was speechless. After going through so much trouble and paying such a high price, it turned out to be all for a man?

Now she was even more convinced that Lin Wanrou was mentally ill, and seriously so.

However, she figured it was a fool not to take advantage of the opportunity, so she had no reason to mess with the magic weapon.

Relying on the guarantee that 996 would cover for her, Wen Nuan readily nodded, "Okay, I promise you, just don't go back on your word when I win."

"Don't worry!" Seeing her agree, Lin Wanrou's eyes lit up with joy. "I can swear to the Heavenly Dao that if you win, I will give you the Purifying Jade immediately and I will never go back on my word."

Putting aside the fact that this woman has no chance of winning against her, even if she did win, Lin Wanrou would not let her leave the ring alive.

Anything can happen during a fight. If she just pretends to make a mistake and secretly takes care of the woman, what can anyone else say?

Even if the Celestial Venerable knew, he wouldn't allow his disciple, who possessed top-grade spiritual roots, to be buried with a dead person, would he?

Thinking this, a strange smile appeared on Lin Wanrou's face, as if she could already see this wretched woman lying miserably at her feet...

Just by looking at her expression, Wen Nuan knew that this person was definitely up to no good, and she couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to her.

Instead, he looked at her with a pitiful expression.

Let that unfortunate child be happy for one more night. Hopefully, she'll still be smiling this happily after the duel tomorrow...
