Immortal Divine Tribulation

Chapter 201: Unrivaled in Shamelessness

Nine days had passed since Tian Fan brought Murong Qiu back from the Southern Domain, and the Shangguan Clan was bustling with excitement. With the return of Zi Ying and the addition of the stunning beauty Murong Qiu, the entire family was filled with renewed vigor.

During this time, the Divine Brilliance Dynasty and the Murong Clan jointly sent a letter to the Shangguan Family, pressuring them to hand over Murong Qiu. However, they received nothing but a cold response from Shangguan Yuntian: “Don’t even think about it!”

The two great martial arts sanctuaries were furious, yet they dared not take any action. Not only did the Shangguan Clan possess numerous experts, but Shangguan Yuntian alone was enough to make some of the top fighters from the two clans feel breathless. Moreover, there was a genuine Divine Dragon in their midst. Their actions were merely a way to assert their stance to the world.

“From now on, consider this place your home!” Shangguan Yuntian told Murong Qiu, which deeply moved her. She felt an unparalleled sense of harmony in the Shangguan Family, a stark contrast to the Murong Clan, which paled in comparison.

The maids and servants of the Shangguan Family always wore cheerful smiles, and even in front of important figures, they did not appear overly restrained. While they maintained proper etiquette, there was truly no distinction of status.

“Oh, Little Qiu Qiu, this roasted meat smells amazing! Sister Phoenix, would you like a piece?” In the bamboo grove of the Shangguan Family, Little Dragon held a large piece of roasted meat in its golden claws, which matched its color closely and was still steaming. The little creature was eating with grease all over its mouth.

Murong Qiu’s cooking skills were truly impressive; even the Shangguan Brothers praised her roasted meat, not to mention Little Dragon, who was completely unaware that the princess of the Murong Clan could actually cook.

“Greedy Dragon, you’re luring the Phoenix into eating meat again. Be careful, or I’ll starve you for three days!” On the other side, Tian Fan spat out his tea upon hearing this, glaring fiercely at Little Dragon. There was no way around it; the joke about the Divine Phoenix eating meat was too big. Remembering the ancestor from the Immortal Island of No Return, he couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine. If she found out that Little Phoenix had learned to eat meat while out with him, she would probably roast him instead.

Even without having seen her in action, Tian Fan could clearly imagine that she was definitely a formidable character, not at all inferior to the mysterious elder he encountered in the Underground Palace of the Soaring Dragon Dynasty.

“Ying Ying, Qiu Qiu, Brother is bullying me…” the little one said pitifully, her big, watery eyes blinking adorably. Tian Fan had just taken a sip of tea and ended up spraying it all over the Shangguan Brothers across from him.

“It’s a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!” Looking at Zi Ying’s incredibly “gentle” gaze, Tian Fan felt the hairs on his back stand up. Over the past seven days, he had come up with a “Tian Fan saying”: “Anyone can be provoked, but never provoke a woman, especially not one you love dearly, and even more so if she is stronger than you!”

“Little Tian Tian, is your skin itchy again? Do you want me to scratch it for you? I can be very gentle!” Zi Ying said sweetly, her big eyes curving into crescent shapes, as cute as could be. But looking at that sweet smile, Tian Fan felt all his pores open in fear. Just three days ago, after seeing such an expression, he had bled profusely from his nose.

If you were to ask why, he would surely feel embarrassed to say, as it was too humiliating. When two stunning beauties stood together, they always had ways to deal with men, especially a naive guy like Tian Fan, who couldn’t escape without shedding some blood.

“Ahem, you can all pretend I didn’t say anything,” Tian Fan coughed, forcing himself to remain calm.

“Bad person, can I eat roasted meat then?” The Little Phoenix asked weakly, looking cautiously at Tian Fan from above.

“You are the Divine Phoenix, of course you can….” Looking at Zi Ying’s sweet smile, Tian Fan swallowed the words that were about to escape his lips. 

“Oh yeah, we can eat roasted meat now!” Little Phoenix exclaimed happily, taking the small piece of golden-brown roasted meat that Murong Qiu handed over, and began to munch on it with delight.

“Woo woo, old senior, it’s really not my fault, I tried my best! But the enemy was too fierce, I couldn’t hold on!” Tian Fan turned his head, tears streaming down his face, constantly praying in his heart, hoping that the ancestor from the Immortal Island of No Return would look upon him favorably in the future.

“Haha…” Seeing Tian Fan in such a sorry state, everyone burst into laughter, with the Shangguan Brothers laughing the loudest. Among them, Shangguan Jingyi laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face, repeatedly pounding on the small stone table in front of him.

“Ha ha ha, laugh all you want, why don’t you just laugh yourself to death!” Tian Fan said fiercely, glaring at him.

“Kid, you finally realize how powerful my sister is, huh? There are still many long years ahead, and you’ll have plenty to endure. You’ll slowly come to understand what it means to suffer in the depths of hardship, heh heh…” Shangguan Jingyi lowered his voice, so much so that even Mu Yi beside him could hardly hear, but Tian Fan caught every word. Instead of retaliating, he instead smiled cunningly. Shangguan Yunfeng shook his head helplessly and patted his younger brother’s shoulder with a hint of sympathy.

“What are you laughing at? Why do I feel a chill in my bones?” Seeing the two’s obviously malicious smiles, Shangguan Jingyi asked in confusion, while Mu Yi wore a similarly puzzled expression, until a melodious voice came from behind.

“My dear brother, what did you just say about me?” Zi Ying stood behind Shangguan Jingyi, wearing an incredibly charming smile.

Looking at this troublesome sister, Shangguan Jingyi suddenly wanted to slap himself twice. This was a genuine Immortal Ascension Expert; within a thousand feet, what could escape her ears? Unless it was through Divine Consciousness transmission.

“I said my sister is as beautiful as a Celestial Immortal, gentle and considerate, understanding and kind, more dazzling than the sun in the sky, purer than the moon in the starry night, stronger than the undefeated legend Shangguan Yuntian, and…” Shangguan Jingyi spoke without pause, his face unblushing and heart steady, pouring out a stream of praise that left the three big men beside him gaping, as if they were lifeless wooden sculptures.

“Really?” Zi Ying asked, somewhat incredulously.

“Really, more genuine than pearls!” Shangguan Jingyi said with a serious expression, nodding his head faster than garlic being crushed.

“Hehe, that’s more like it!” Zi Ying nodded in satisfaction, returning to her seat to roast meat with Murong Qiu, Little Phoenix, and Little Dragon.

“Ha…” Shangguan Jingyi carefully wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, letting out a long sigh of relief.

“Awesome! So awesome!” The three of them simultaneously gave Shangguan Jingyi a thumbs up.

“Of course, do you even know who I am?” Shangguan Jingyi said with great pride.

“Hey, looking at you reminds me of a profound saying!” Tian Fan said, gazing at Shangguan Jingyi.

“What saying? It must be something remarkable, tell me, bro!” Shangguan Jingyi replied boastfully.

“When water is too clear, no fish can live in it; when a person becomes utterly shameless, they become unbeatable…” Tian Fan, dressed in white, stood with one hand behind his back, looking up at the sky, reciting this line like a poet.
