Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Fan Xiao's lips curled up: "I heard that arrogant people feel ashamed when they are lifted up high. I'm a little curious if it's true."

"...You traitor, I'm going to tear your mouth apart today!"

Tina began to mobilize her mental energy and adopted an attack stance.

……

Ten minutes later, Fan Xiao left Ye Wanzhao's consciousness.

Tina ultimately couldn't escape his clutches and was forced to play the piggyback ride game with him for a few minutes... This time, Tina blushed, and Fan Xiaoneng was definitely not just angry.

To some extent, he had probed Tina's attitude.

Just as Yu Xuezhao did not deny her grandfather's words in public, Tina did not immediately dissipate this spiritual consciousness when he forcibly lifted her up.

Tina might argue that this was part of a deal, and that it would be her turn next time.

As expected of someone so proud and aloof, she's still as stubborn as ever.

Fan Xiao happily participated in the rest of the celebration banquet.

As Yu Xuezhao's junior brother, he naturally had to talk with Xiao Yu's parents and other family members, offering his condolences and blessings.

Of course, because of his very special status, no one in the Yu family dared to act like an elder in front of him.

After that, in front of the high-level cultivators of the nine major sects and other medium and small sects, under their tense and expectant gazes, he subtly revealed his attitude—he came to Node C simply to see his senior sister and have some fun, and he was not interested in the chaos of Node C's independence, nor did he intend to interfere.

His assurance relieved everyone, but it also left them feeling somewhat regretful and disappointed.

There is no doubt that Fan Xiao is on the opposite side of the game company—he even killed two of the game company's gods, so it couldn't have been an act, right?

If Vanshaw were willing to support the independence of the C node, this turmoil might end sooner.

Don't be fooled by the current peace in the Spirit Realm; it's only because the high-level battlefield in the Immortal Realm is still undecided.

Once the celestial realm has determined a victor... if they win, that's good, the trouble is temporarily resolved. Whether new troubles will arise later depends on whether the game company is determined to launch a full-scale war.

If we lose, then all is over.

It wasn't that no one had considered trying to win over Fan Xiao in this matter.

But... no one can afford to pay Fan Xiao for his services.

As for using moral blackmail to get the other party to help for free... Why would someone who's perfectly fine go to such lengths to court death?

None of the higher-ups from the nine major sects mentioned this matter.

At the banquet, some old monsters who were catching up with Ancestor You Chen marveled at You Chen's cunning and good fortune.

Because of his connection with Yu Xuezhao, You Chen seized the opportunity to cling to a powerful patron. Even if the war in the Immortal Realm was lost and the situation in the Spirit Domain collapsed, the Heavenly Sword Sect would not be greatly affected and would remain a major sect of the Immortal Path.

It's so enviable!

Fan Xiao ignored these matters. After informing Yu Xue Zhaotina that she had already visited, he left the banquet and returned to Yu Xiao Peak.

His two sensible and obedient disciples came back with him and prepared some hangover remedies for him... They were actually not very useful, but they were meant to highlight the ritual of life and the disciples' filial piety.

As evening fell, Yu Xuezhao also arrived at Yuxiao Peak.

At the same time, Xiao Zhen told Fan Xiao some good news—she had unlocked the secret of the "secondary god".

Chapter 831 Xiaoyu, are you serious?

On Yuxiao Peak.

Fan Xiao received Yu Xuezhao in the spacious side hall of Huaxu.

This was also the palace he usually used as his residence.

Don't ask him why he named his sleeping place that way... It wasn't his idea; it was chosen by Patriarch Youchen and others based on the story of "Hua Xu's Dream".

Besides the Huaxu Side Hall, there are other side halls on Yuxiao Peak with various functions, such as alchemy, weapon forging, talisman making, martial arts practice, and virtual dream trials. These are all places prepared by the ancestors to teach disciples, taking into account that he might take on disciples at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Even if he doesn't take on apprentices, he can still have fun on his own when he's free.

People from outside the node are very curious about cultivating immortality, and also about the various professions in the cultivation system, such as alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman makers, and so on.

The ancestors thought that Fan Xiao was probably no exception.

Fan Xiao could only say that these old masters were indeed experienced and had a very clear understanding of outsiders.

He was indeed interested in these things and was prepared to give them a try, as a way to satisfy his little hobby of cultivating immortality.

In addition to the side halls with various functions, there is also a main hall on Yuxiao Peak.

The main hall was designed as a reception hall, mainly for showing off—when receiving guests in the main hall, he only needed to sit on the jade throne, and the atmosphere would be immediately filled with grandeur.

In addition to these main halls and side halls, Yuxiao Peak also has independent medicine gardens, spirit beast gardens, viewing platforms overlooking the sea of ​​clouds, artificial fairy lakes and lakeside palaces for vacation, and fairy bamboo forests and bamboo houses in the forests for cultivating one's mind... Basically, everything Fan Xiao could think of, the ancestors had prepared.

The only thing missing now is the "service personnel" to get Xianfeng running.

The ancestors originally planned to select a group of top-quality maids from among the miscellaneous disciples, outer disciples, and even inner and true disciples to serve Fan Xiao. However, considering that this might offend Yu Xuezhao, they gave up on the idea.

They simply told Fan Xiao respectfully that if he had any needs, he should just tell the elders of the Law Enforcement Peak next door, and they would take care of it.

As for Fan Xiao... as an outstanding young man of the new era, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to select a servant from a sacred peak to serve him alone.

It's not that he hates or refuses such things; every world has its own rules of operation, and he understands the importance of adapting to local customs.

Moreover, being able to do business at Yu Xiaofeng is something many people would beg for. To some extent, sweeping the gate at Yu Xiaofeng is considered one of the top professions in the world, so it's not an insult.

He simply lacks awareness in this regard.

If his ancestors don't send him people or make arrangements for him, then... he'll have to create people himself.

At this stage, he is no longer satisfied with simply using the "Flesh and Blood Progenitor" psionic energy to create flesh and blood servants that only possess mechanical consciousness.

He directly used his luck to raise the cultivation level of all the spirit beasts in the spirit beast garden to the level of transformed great demons, and had Xiao Zhen assign them various positions within the immortal peak and conduct pre-job training—in short, he forcibly stuffed relevant professional experience into their minds, letting them know what to do and how to do it, without spending a long time teaching them.

In this way, the basic tasks such as guarding the gate and sweeping the floor were done by powerful, transformed demons.

The tending of the medicinal herb garden and the management of the mountain forest were handled by powerful spirits, natural beings formed from plants such as grasses, trees, and flowers.

The tasks of entertaining and serving people are done by some demon girls who have transformed from spirit cats and spirit foxes, which is pleasing to the eye—although they are girls, they are still powerful demons in essence.

When Yu Xue Zhao arrived at Yu Xiao Peak, she saw a scene of powerful demons roaming the ground and demons transforming into human form that was worse than dogs... She was speechless for a long time.

She almost thought she had stumbled into the territory of the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom.

If she remembered correctly, two or three days ago, the only living creatures on this immortal peak, besides Fan Xiao and his two disciples, were some spirit beasts... Oh well, why bother seriously competing with an S-level spiritual energy user.

Having composed herself, Yu Xuezhao temporarily set down the tea offered by the fox-clan demon in human form and looked at Fan Xiao, asking, "Junior Brother, it seems you have something to take care of?"

She noticed the intelligent little girl next to Fan Xiao, who seemed to have something to say to him.

Upon seeing her arrive, the little girl ceased her conversational inclinations... it seemed there was something important to discuss.

She asked, "Should I excuse myself for a moment?"

"There are no outsiders here, Xiaoyu, you don't need to be so reserved."

Fan Xiao smiled and said to Yu Xuezhao, "If you want to hear it, you can stay and listen. This matter involves the root cause of the chaos in your C node, and I think you should be quite curious about it."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But this matter isn't urgent. Tell me first what you wanted to see me about."

“Some trivial matters,” Yu Xuezhao said, “Junior Brother, for your Jade Peak to function properly, you’ll need quite a few people to handle miscellaneous tasks, such as tending the herb garden and raising spirit beasts. You can’t possibly do all of that yourself. I originally planned to select a group of reliable people from the Yu family to serve you, but unexpectedly…”

She shook her head and brought up the second matter: "Junior Brother, do you have any plans to take on disciples? I've met your two disciples. Their spiritual energy fluctuations are unusual, so they must have cultivated extremely impressive techniques. They can be considered to have received your true teachings and are your formal disciples."

"Besides the formal disciples, if you wish, junior brother, you can also take in some nominal disciples."

"The Yu family wants to use my connections to send several of their most outstanding talents to you, Junior Brother Yu Xiaofeng, to become your nominal disciples."

She paused, then continued, "I guessed that you don't like trouble, so I already turned it down for you and gave your family a scolding."

"However... it is beyond my expectations that you, Junior Brother, will take on two disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"If you are interested in this... I will bring those prodigies of the Yu family to you."

After pausing again, she added, "Don't worry, junior brother, they are all beautiful female disciples, there are no male disciples, so it won't affect your mood."

Fan Xiao: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Fan Xiao asked, "Xiaoyu, please explain yourself more clearly, I don't quite understand."

"Don't worry, junior brother."

Yu Xuezhao said, "At node C, if a romantic relationship develops between a master and disciple, it is not necessarily classified as a forbidden relationship."

"Although many cultivators reject this phenomenon, many others choose to be tolerant. In this regard, there is no need to worry too much about what others say. Moreover, no one dares to easily discuss your private affairs, Junior Brother."

"Furthermore, C-Node is different from your place, Junior Brother. Mortal kingdoms have multiple wives and concubines, and in the world of cultivators, there are even fewer restrictions in this regard. Powerful male cultivators have multiple Daoist partners, and powerful female cultivators have multiple male lovers. This is a common phenomenon in the cultivation world."

“Even if you have such thoughts, I will not laugh at or blame you.”

"..."

Fan Xiao remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he approached Yu Xuezhao and pressed her down onto the soft blanket next to the futon.

Yu Xuezhao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her junior brother was going to force himself on her.

After a few seconds, seeing that her junior brother hadn't made any further suggestive moves, she realized what was happening and frowned, saying, "Junior brother! Although we are close, like real siblings, you can't be so presumptuous. Let me go now, and I can pretend nothing happened."

"Xiaoyu, I suspect you were being sarcastic or mocking me just now." Fan Xiao sneered, "I only took on disciples to experience what it's like to be an ancestor in the cultivation world. You, a mere junior, dare to use this to make sarcastic remarks about your ancestor... Hmph, disrespectful to elders, you should be punished!"

He sneered, "I'll punish you by making you fly around outside in my arms, so that the disciples and elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect can see what a forbidden relationship is."

"..." Yu Xuezhao immediately softened her stance, saying, "Junior brother, stop joking. Senior sister was just joking with you. If you don't want to, senior sister won't make these kinds of jokes anymore."

She did indeed suspect Fan Xiao's motives for taking on apprentices.

However, with Fan Xiao so assertive now, she doesn't have time to dwell on this.

Otherwise... if she were really carried around outside by Fan Xiao, how would she ever face her other colleagues in the Heavenly Sword Sect again?

"Well, you're a smart kid."

Fan Xiao released Yu Xuezhao.

Yu Xuezhao stood up, straightened her slightly disheveled collar, and said, "Junior brother, did our teacher ask you to pass on any message to me before he left?"

“She just came to witness your celebration,” Fan Xiao said. “She left after she finished.”

“Teacher doesn’t like noise…” Yu Xuezhao sighed softly, “I’ll have to find an opportunity to visit Teacher alone later.”

"Xiaoyu, your manners are quite impeccable," Fan Xiao remarked, then added meaningfully, "Someone as knowledgeable and reasonable as you must also know how to be grateful, right?"

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Xue Zhao suddenly smiled and said inexplicably, "Junior brother, you've grown up."

Fan Xiao: "?"

“It’s perfectly normal for a boy your age to be curious about the women around him and have a desire to explore them,” Yu Xuezhao said.

The boys are all here, Xiaoyu, you're at it again, aren't you... Fan Xiao was speechless.

Yu Xuezhao didn't care what he thought. Her eyes turned helpless and doting as she continued to insist on her own understanding, saying, "Although your curiosity and desire to explore me as your senior sister is somewhat unethical, the relationship between senior and junior brothers on the C node is actually deeper and closer than you imagine. For your physical and mental health, I can make an exception today and satisfy some of your desires to explore."

At this point, she slightly adjusted her posture—from sitting cross-legged to kneeling—and lightly patted her white fairy dress. She then beckoned to Fan Xiao and said, "Come here, senior sister can... well, in your local dialect, it should be called a lap pillow. Junior brother, you're from the G08 node, so senior sister will satisfy you in the way the G08 node does."

Fan Xiao: "..."

Xiaoyu, when you went to node G08, did you secretly watch Japanese anime...? He really wanted to ask that.

Even when expressing gratitude, you resort to this kind of self-deceptive trick... Fine, fine, Xiaoyu, is this how you play the game?

In the blink of an eye, Fan Xiao had already come up with a solution.

Even the mental victory method has its limits. For example, if he had encountered the arrogant Tina who didn't know any martial ethics and forcibly pinned him to the ground and beat him half to death, then even if he had a mental victory, he wouldn't be able to deceive himself into thinking that such a beating was an arrogant act.

Being arrogant isn't a killer.

So... we can play along with Yu Xuezhao's plan for now, and then... take the opportunity to make some outrageous demands.

If he's already on top of Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu can still have a mental victory over herself... at this point, what's wrong with him admitting defeat?

It’s not a loss anyway.

Thinking of this, Fan Xiao changed his form of address and said, "Senior sister, where we're from, when you give a lap pillow, you need to lift up your skirt and touch each other with bare legs. That's how you show sincerity."

“…” Yu Xuezhao frowned: “Nonsense…”

"Senior sister, you're from the C node, you don't understand our G08 node."
