Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Return of the Master of the Immortal Palace (2nd Update)

With that thought, Xue An couldn’t help but look forward to what was to come.

Then, he released the sealed Lei Zun with his other hand.

Lei Zun had now transformed into something the size of a fingertip, kneeling in Xue An’s palm, kowtowing in terror while pleading for mercy.

“Immortal, please spare my life! I truly had no idea that it was you who came here!”

“You recognize me?” Xue An asked indifferently.

Lei Zun trembled all over, then said in a trembling voice, “I do not, although your cultivation level isn’t high, the aura you carry is even more noble than the Lei God I have seen!”

“There is only one possibility, that you must be the reincarnation of an Immortal!”

Xue An laughed, “You’re quite clever!”

Lei Zun forced a few laughs, “Great Immortal, could you perhaps spare this minor deity…”

Xue An shook his head, “You’re quite interesting, so I’ll keep you! When I get back, you can be a toy for my daughter!”

Lei Zun was stunned.

What?

To have the mighty Lei Zun become a toy?

This was an insult to divine status!

Yet Xue An narrowed his eyes slightly, “What? You don’t agree? Then I can just refine you now!”

As he spoke, two pure white flames began rising in Xue An’s eyes.

“Divine Realm Flame!” Lei Zun exclaimed, then his expression became extremely obsequious.

“How could I not agree! To become the toy of the great Immortal’s precious daughter is my honor!”

Xue An laughed heartily, “You are sensible after all! Don’t worry, I won’t kill you!”

Having said this, Xue An then re-sealed him.

In fact, Xue An had plans for this Lei Zun long ago.

Deities naturally born from the cosmos like this one are extremely rare treasures, most suitable to become Artifact Spirits.

Xue An planned to refine this Lei Zun into the Artifact Spirit for An Yan’s flat pan once he returned to Earth.

Who knows what Lei Zun would think if he were to find out that he would become the spirit of a pan in the future!

At that moment, Zhu Ruyan said respectfully from outside the door, “Master!”

“Come in,” Xue An said calmly.

Zhu Ruyan walked into the room, holding a cup of hot tea.

“Master, your tea!”

Now, Zhu Ruyan saw herself as Xue An’s little maid, attending to all his needs with utmost care.

Xue An smiled, rose to his feet, and sat at the table sipping tea.

Zhu Ruyan stood by, hesitating to speak.

“Is there something on your mind?” Xue An asked indifferently.

“Master, don’t you plan to leave Kunlun?”

“Of course, I’m leaving, but not just yet!”

“Oh!”

After another silence, Zhu Ruyan asked softly, “Master, there’s something I want to discuss with you, if you disagree, please pretend I haven’t mentioned it!”

“What is it?”

Zhu Ruyan nervously twisted her skirt, “When I left Kunlun City, I was greatly helped by my senior sister and several senior brothers. Now they know you’re my master, they all wish to meet you through me!”

Xue An was silent.

Zhu Ruyan grew even more nervous and stuttered, “They just want to prepare a simple dinner to treat you, with no other intention! Master, if you don’t want to attend, I’ll go refuse them right now!”

Xue An nodded, “I’ll go!”

“Huh?” Zhu Ruyan hadn’t recovered from her surprise.

“It’s just a meal, it’ll be nice to see the excitement,” Xue An said lightly.

Zhu Ruyan’s face lit up with joy, and she nodded, “Thank you, Master!”

Zhu Ruyan went off excitedly to inform the others.

Without the bonds of hatred, this girl had finally become like any other normal girl!

Xue An smiled faintly, feeling a mix of admiration and sympathy for Zhu Ruyan, admiring her for not giving up in the face of an enemy so powerful it could drive one to despair.

Pity for her, if it were not for me, her whole life would have been destroyed by hatred.

At dusk.

Inside a high-end tavern in the main city of Kunlun.

The banquet had long been prepared.

Zhu Lei and several fellow disciples were chatting casually.

“I wonder if our junior sister Ruyan could bring that gentleman here!” Zhu Lei said.

“She should be able to, after all, being able to accompany him at his side shows that he holds Ruyan in high regard!” another brother commented.

“Heh heh, it looks like our junior sister Ruyan is going to rise to the heavens in one step!” someone teased with a laugh.

As for Lu Xunxue, she just sat on the side, saying nothing.

They had all once studied under a master of the medical arts, so in terms of relationships, they were all brothers and sisters.

But over the years, their relationships were not particularly close.

Yet now, they had gathered together for the sake of Xue An, and Lu Xunxue even noticed several people who had once served the Immortal Palace among them, which seemed rather ironic.

Besides, many representatives from smaller Sects were also waiting.

In fact, this was the real intention of Zhu Lei and the others.

Inviting Xue An over was merely an excuse over dinner.

But it could garner the goodwill of so many Sects!

This would greatly benefit the future development of Zhu Lei and the others in Kunlun.

Lu Xunxue certainly saw this; thus, she remained silent the whole time.

“Sister Xunxue, this gentleman lives in your World Healing Hall; does he have any particular habits?”

Lu Xunxue frowned and after pondering for a moment, she shook her head in resignation, “I don’t know!”

Ever since Xue An returned to the World Healing Hall, he kept a low profile, and Lu Xunxue rarely saw him.

Even if she did see him, it was only a slight nod in greeting.

Lu Xunxue suddenly remembered the words Xue An had once said, “You should be grateful you’re Ruyan’s senior sister.”

Thinking about it now, that phrase seemed like a prophecy.

If I weren’t Ruyan’s senior sister, you probably would have killed me by now! thought Lu Xunxue silently.

At that moment, footsteps were heard from outside.

Zhu Ruyan entered first, dressed in her finest, her face beaming with a rare dazzling brilliance.

This made many people stare in amazement.

However, when Xue An slowly walked in, all eyes focused on him.

Nearly everyone stood up and bowed, “Greeting to the Noble Sir!”

“Greetings to the Immortal Master!”

Such salutations were ceaseless.

Xue An’s expression was indifferent, and he nodded slightly.

Zhu Lei stepped forward to welcome him, bowing deeply.

“Your presence here truly honors us all! Please, take the seat of honor!”

Xue An did not decline and directly took the seat at the head of the table.

The atmosphere in the room started to shift subtly.

Zhu Lei turned out to be quite the smooth operator, occasionally cracking a few jokes to lighten the mood, and then repeatedly offering toasts.

Xue An, apart from occasionally nodding, completed each toast that came his way.

After three rounds of drinks, the banquet atmosphere gradually grew livelier.

Representatives from various Sects looked at Xue An with fervent gazes, and those with greater courage came forward to offer a toast.

To this, Xue An only offered a faint smile and accepted all comers.

This brought all the Sects’ representatives closer.

Moreover, the representatives sent by the Sects this time were predominantly beautiful women.

After all, Xue An’s act of avenging Zhu Ruyan had led many to mistakenly believe he was a man fond of female company.

But just as the atmosphere reached its climax, someone rushed in, with a grave expression, announcing, “The Lord of the Immortal Palace has returned!”
