Chapter 827 - 61: Why Did You Mess with Her?

Chapter 827: Chapter 61: Why Did You Mess with Her?

Immortal Brew Tower.

Carved redwood beams, the aroma of wine permeating the air, the vermilion tables and chairs illuminated by hundreds of intricately carved Everlasting Lamps overhead, reflecting a subtle elegance.

Female cultivators dressed in open-front spruce robes shuttle back and forth, greeting guests with graceful courtesies, exuding charm, their eyes brimming with warmth.

"Wow, is this the Immortal Brew Tower? Why does it feel like a place of ill repute?"

Xu Caihe was like a curious child, unable to take it all in with her eyes.

"Why the air of worldliness?"

Xia Qinglian also furrowed her delicate brows, clearly disliking the style of this place.

"Saintess Xia, rest assured, the Immortal Brew Tower only sells wine, not allure. Although these attendants are women, they keep themselves clean and will not act indecently towards your husband."

The woman named Luo Niansheng gracefully approached, bowing slightly to the group, yet her words carried mockery towards Xia Qinglian.

"You were the one who brought the invitation to the inn just now, weren’t you? Intentionally inciting, and speaking disrespectfully, let’s cancel this Immortal Ascension Night Banquet today."

Xia Qinglian coldly snorted, she wasn’t someone who swallowed her pride for the greater good. The lobby on the First-Layer of the tower half whipped up a Frost, half erupted in Red Flame.

"Profound Ice and Li Fire?!"

"It’s Saintess Xia!"

"Spare us, Saintess Xia!"

"We haven’t offended you, please don’t implicate us!"

The cultivators immediately screamed in panic, Luo Niansheng was startled, probably not expecting Xia Qinglian to dare make a move within the Immortal Brew Tower, her body gleaming, numerous Arrays suddenly activating.

Xia Qinglian disdainedly sneered, raising her delicate hand, and those Arrays shattered one by one.

In an instant, screams erupted throughout the First-Layer of the Immortal Brew Tower, a scene of chaos.

Luo Niansheng’s face changed dramatically, pointing at Xia Qinglian she said: "This is the Immortal Ascension Night Banquet, for hundreds of years no one has dared behave outrageously here! Xia Qinglian, neither you nor your husband are qualified to receive the Spirit Pill!"

Xia Qinglian said indifferently: "If I wanted to achieve Divinity Transformation, I would have done so long ago. With me here, why would my husband need such external objects?"

"You, you..."

Luo Niansheng was intimidated by Xia Qinglian’s aura, unable to utter a word.

Instead, Qin Gengyun remained fairly composed, speaking gently to Luo Niansheng: "Fairy Wei, we are not acquainted with you, why harbor hostility towards my wife? Was there some misunderstanding before?"

The couple, one playing the stern role, the other the gentle, cooperated seamlessly, quickly cornering Luo Niansheng.

The brightly dressed woman’s expression flickered, her gaze instinctively glancing at Mo Xiaolan who stood quietly to the side.

Catching her gaze, Qin Gengyun was taken aback.

Could it be that Luo Niansheng knew Xiaolan?

Qin Gengyun looked at Mo Xiaolan, his eyes inquisitive, Mo Xiaolan lightly shook her head, indicating she didn’t know Luo Niansheng.

"I was rude earlier, Saintess Xia lives up to her reputation as the world’s best, please withdraw your Divine Power."

Luo Niansheng withdrew her gaze from Mo Xiaolan, bowing deeply to Xia Qinglian in apology.

Suddenly, the surrounding Frost and Red Flame disappeared, those cultivators and attendants desperately dodging all collapsed to the ground, looking at Luo Niansheng with solemn resentment.

This was the Demon Sect Saintess Xia Qinglian, why did you provoke her?

At this moment, a group of cultivators holding invitations filed in, all chatting and laughing.

"I’ve heard the Immortal Brew Tower is like an Immortal Cave Mansion, serene and tasteful. Today we must truly experience it...Whoa?!"

And then they saw the chaos before them, suddenly dumbfounded.

"What happened here?"

Seeing Xia Qinglian with a stern expression, they immediately understood something, wisely kept quiet, moved to sit to the side, pretending as if they hadn’t seen anything.

Someone chuckled: "Which fool provoked Saintess Xia?"

Luo Niansheng twitched at the corner of her mouth, just about to speak, above a gentle soft voice rang out:

"Today I invite all Taoist friends solely to enliven the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, please drink to your hearts’ content. Should anything be amiss, Wei Ying first apologizes."

With this voice, gentle as spring water and resonant as the ocean, the tables and chairs destroyed by the Profound Ice and Li Fire slowly restored.

Before long, the First-Layer of the Immortal Brew Tower returned to its previous bright and elegant scene.

"Wow, is this the owner of the Immortal Brew Tower? How remarkable!"

Xu Caihe looked around, clicking her tongue in wonder, and the other cultivators also held expressions of disbelief and astonishment.

"Able to restore items destroyed by Profound Ice and Li Fire to their original state, this cultivation must be at least half-step Divinity Transformation, right?"

"No wonder the Immortal Brew Tower has stood for hundreds of years!"

"This voice feels like a spring breeze!"

"The legend of the Spirit Pill seems to be true!"

"Whoever wins the owner’s favor would surely have a great fortune, even without the Spirit Pill!"

Qin Gengyun whispered to Xia Qinglian: "Wife, is this Wei Ying truly half-step Divinity Transformation?"

Xia Qinglian said indifferently: "If I wanted to destroy the Immortal Brew Tower, she wouldn’t be able to stop me."

Qin Gengyun quickly said: "Wife, after I ascend the pavilion tomorrow, Chen Qingmo may act against you, you mustn’t waste Spiritual Power tonight."

Only then did Xia Qinglian nod, no longer concerned with Luo Niansheng.

Fang Xue whispered to Mo Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, this Taoist Friend Luo keeps secretly watching you, do you truly not know her?"

Mo Xiaolan clearly felt Luo Niansheng occasionally glancing at her secretly, she shook her head:

"I’ve never met this Taoist Friend Luo before."

Yun Wu said: "Sister Xiaolan, Sister Si, don’t you think Luo Niansheng resembles someone?"

Si Minglan and Mo Xiaolan exchanged a glance, a recent departing figure surfaced in their minds.

At this moment, Wei Ying’s voice once again rang out:

"You are all Great Cultivators, this humble girl dare not waste more of your time, let us begin the selection by Spiritual Jade."

"Selection by Spiritual Jade?" Yun Wu puzzled, hearing a nearby person explain:

"Every Immortal Ascension Night Banquet, the owner offers a piece of Jade, this Jade is spiritual, those chosen by it are qualified to ascend to the Seventh Layer, entering the owner’s boudoir."

At this moment, Luo Niansheng clapped her hands, an attendant from the tower emerged holding a piece of Spiritual Jade.

The Jade exhibited a pale cyan color, engraved with two flowers, yet indistinct to identify which flowers exactly.

The attendant walked with the Jade to the tables of cultivators, passing each without the Jade showing any reaction.

Soon arriving at the table where Qin Gengyun and others were seated, passing by Qin Gengyun, the Jade finally reacted for the first time, emitting a faint glow.

The cultivators were shocked: "You can’t be serious! Qin Gengyun already has Saintess Xia, Tao Spirit Body, and Yun Wu, could the owner of the Immortal Brew Tower also want to join him?"

Qin Gengyun was also stunned, but then saw the Jade’s light flash and extinguish, Luo Niansheng shook her head: "Not Sect Leader Qin."

The attendant passed by Xia Qinglian, the Jade also flashed, lasting longer than with Qin Gengyun, but ultimately faded once more.

Passing Fang Xue, Si Minglan, Yun Wu, and others, the Jade flickered either briefly or extensively, yet ultimately returned to calm.

Finally reaching Mo Xiaolan, standing nearby, Luo Niansheng’s breathing suddenly became rapid, seemingly anticipating something.

Suddenly, the Jade burst into radiance, trembling intensely, flying directly into Mo Xiaolan’s hand!

Under the astonished gazes of those present, joy appeared on Luo Niansheng’s face, loudly declaring:

"Taoist Friend Mo is indeed fated, please ascend to the Seventh Layer!"
