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

The Fairy Lingxiao has issued a challenge to a woman who has never cultivated!

This explosive news spread throughout half of Tian Shu City overnight.

Moreover, the woman who was challenged was the same woman who had just been found to have a top-tier spiritual root and had been taken in as a disciple by the Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao. The two women were furious for their lover!

This news spread throughout the other half of the city overnight.

So when Wen Nuan, accompanied by her two followers, leisurely strolled up Qingyun Mountain, she saw at least ten layers of people surrounding the square, all there to watch the spectacle.

Not only that, but many cultivators were also flying in the sky, completely surrounding the small arena.

"Wow, that's way too exaggerated!"

Wen Nuan, who was standing on the periphery, muttered something under her breath, but it was overheard by a male cultivator standing in front of her.

The male cultivator didn't turn around, but waved his hand and said, "This is nothing. I heard that many people came before dawn to grab the best viewing spots. It's a pity I was late and couldn't get a good spot."

The male cultivator said with some regret, standing on tiptoe and peering inside repeatedly, "The Fairy Lingxiao arrived a long time ago, but why hasn't the other one come yet? Could it be that she's too scared to come?"

"Who said that? Here I am, aren't I?"

"What, you come here..."

The people in front turned around and saw Wen Nuan standing behind them, holding a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) and eating it.

"..."

Then he suddenly turned around and shouted loudly.

"They're here! They're here!"

In an instant, all eyes were on her.

With so many eyes on her, Wen Nuan was caught in a dilemma: whether to swallow the jianbing guozi in her mouth or not. She blinked her eyes, looking completely bewildered.

The crowd in front of her parted like Moses parting the sea, clearing a path in the middle.

Nuan walked forward along the cleared path, holding a jianbing guozi in her hands, with two bodyguards following behind her.

She walked down a path that made her feel like she was ascending the throne...

As soon as she arrived at the ring, Lin Wanrou glared at her impatiently and said, "Do you know how late you are?"

Wen Nuan wouldn't tolerate her. She handed the jianbing guozi behind her back and immediately glared back at her.

"Didn't we only say yesterday that the competition was today? Even if I come after dark, it's not considered late!"

"You..." Lin Wanrou, speechless after being rebuked, said with a dark face, "Hmph, I hope your mouth can stay this stubborn."

She's going to make this woman beg for mercy while she's waiting!

The ring was very high, about two meters off the ground. Wen Nuan looked at her own height and then at the ring in front of her, feeling troubled and unable to help but mutter to herself.

It's just a ring, why build it so high? Are you expecting her to climb up on her hands and feet? That would be too embarrassing.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Wen Nuan looked up, smiled, cupped her hands, and said, "Master, you've come too."

Xuanxiao looked at the smiling new disciple and couldn't understand why she could still laugh at a time like this.

"Why did you agree to her request? Although you are talented, you haven't even started formal cultivation yet. You have no chance against a Golden Core cultivator. Don't you know that?"

At this moment, Xuanxiao still thought that Wen Nuan had agreed to the competition on a whim.

Those who cultivate themselves should be mindful of avoiding arrogance and impatience. A few words from others were enough to provoke her into agreeing to this contest, which he saw as a foregone conclusion.

It has to be said that Xuanxiao was somewhat disappointed in this disciple at this moment.

The stern-faced immortal exudes an intimidating aura that makes people want to keep their distance.

Wen Nuan, however, was not intimidated at all. For some reason, ever since she became the disciple of this immortal, she was no longer afraid of him.

Seeing the person's cold face, his smile became even brighter.

"Master, don't worry. I'm not stupid. If it were a sure way to die, why would I agree so easily? I have my own trump card."

Xuanxiao didn't know what she meant by "reliance," but he didn't want this disciple with a rare spiritual root to be ruined in a meaningless duel.

He hasn't even started researching this rare spiritual root yet.

With a blank expression, Xuanxiao took out an item: a silver-white robe that emitted moonlight, as dazzling as a silver moon.

"This is the Moonlit Robe, made of ten-thousand-year-old mermaid silk. It is impervious to water and fire and can withstand all magical attacks from cultivators below the Integration stage. Put it on before you go up."

As she spoke, she placed the clothes in Wen Nuan's hands.

Looking at the clothes in her hand, although the style was simple, it was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary. They were smooth and delicate to the touch, making Wen Nuan want to rub them against her face.

"Master, is this a gift for me? Will you take it back after the competition?"

Xuanxiao frowned in confusion, "Once it's given to you, it's yours. Why would you take it back?"

"That's good, that's good." Wen Nuan happily put the clothes into her spatial ring, and smiled even more brightly at the person in front of her, her smile carrying a hint of flattery.

"Thank you, Master. Please lend a hand and help me up there. This arena is a bit too high."

Seeing that she wasn't dressed, Xuanxiao's eyes turned even colder. He thought Wen Nuan was stubborn, but he didn't say anything more. He simply waved his wide sleeve, and a burst of spiritual energy sent her onto the arena.

Now that things have come to this, he can't say anything more about other people's choices, but it's a pity that such a precious spiritual root has been wasted.

Standing on the stage, Lin Wanrou, who had witnessed the entire scene, clenched her hands tightly and looked at Wen Nuan with nothing but jealousy.

Why is it that she receives Xuanxiao's favor and is even personally given a protective magic weapon?

With that armor, how can she fight?!

One look into her eyes and Wen Nuan knew what she was thinking, and she shrugged helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do, Master just cares about me so much, it's really a headache."

Lin Wanrou, "..."

I'm so angry! I really want to smash that smug face!

Wen Nuan waved her hand, "Don't worry, I accepted your duel first, and my master gave me the armor later. I won't wear this armor in this competition."

Lin Wanrou was secretly delighted, cursing Wen Nuan as a fool, but she remained outwardly calm.

"I admire your noble character. Don't worry, I'll remember to be gentle later."

Gently, so that you die without anyone knowing!

The two stood facing each other on opposite sides of the arena. Lin Wanrou took out her signature weapon, a longsword as thin as a cicada's wing.

Seeing that Wen Nuan didn't move, he kindly reminded her, "You can take out your weapon."

Wen Nuan shook her head. "I don't have any weapons. Let's just fight like this. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

She still needs to go back to open her shop after this. If she hadn't already completed most of the mission, she wouldn't have wasted her time here!

Seeing that she didn't appreciate it, Lin Wanrou sneered, "I really don't understand where your confidence comes from. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."

Then, his eyes flashed with anger, and he raised his sword to stab her.

Wen Nuan didn't make any movement; she just stood there straight.

The audience couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh no, oh no, this sword strike will probably pierce a hole in him!"

"How could an ordinary person like her withstand an attack from a Golden Core cultivator? She might as well put on that Moonlit Robe!"

Xuanxiao glanced at Chu Ze and the other man, noticing their calm and unchanging expressions, and thought to himself.

Could it be that his disciple really has some other way to save his life?
