Indeed, Fang Xiaoyu's relationship with Liu Yuxin wasn't particularly good or bad; after all, they had fought side by side before.
However, Liu Yuxin was still fixated on revenge against Wan Lei, so Fang Xiaoyu had always been wary of her, ensuring she wouldn't have the chance.
Fang Xiaoyu thought of this little girl as a cub. Usually quiet, she would pretend to be aloof, but if provoked, she would immediately lose her temper, insisting on a win or a loss.
In reality, Fang Xiaoyu never considered that if she kept bullying Liu Yuxin every time they met, of course she'd be angry. After all, besides Yuan Jun, which girl enjoyed being bullied?
Could this be Liu Yuxin's fault for being a little cub?
But Fang Xiaoyu just loved bullying girls – bullying Qi Manyao, bullying Yuan Jun, bullying Qing Wu, bullying Little Xin'er...
Was there anything more fun in this world than bullying girls?
"Let me go, Fang Xiaoyu! Still the dignified Thunder Empress, yet you lack any of the dignified demeanor befitting a queen. Are you worthy? I challenge you to a duel, to the death!"
Liu Yuxin's pouting made her even cuter. Fang Xiaoyu pinched her plump, pretty cheek hard before letting her go.
Ba Ernu saw this and stepped back, thinking to herself how fortunate it was that she wasn't familiar with Fang Xiaoyu, or she wouldn't have escaped her clutches either.
"Wan Liuchuan, when did you two break through to the Immortal Realm? You're quite fast. Just over a year ago, you were still in the Nascent Soul realm. Why didn't you go to the Five Elements Hall for assessment after breaking through to the Immortal Realm?"
Upon seeing his old friend, Wan Lei was also overjoyed and fired off a series of questions.
"Our talents aren't bad. After arriving at Heron Tower Academy, we received considerable resource allocation and top-tier cultivation techniques. We also worked hard and broke through to the Immortal Realm.
Unlike those two, who are not ambitious. They've only broken through one realm to the Mahayana stage, oh right, here it's called the Longevity stage. They're truly a disgrace to our Thunder Wind Realm."
Wan Liuchuan's words made Qian Duoduo's eyes widen, and he immediately retorted,
"We haven't had a single line of dialogue since we appeared, so why have you targeted us? Can't you praise yourself without stepping on us?"
"Hmph, a trash is trash."
Wan Liuchuan remained as arrogant as ever. He then looked at Wan Lei again.
"We both broke through to the Immortal Realm yesterday. We were planning to go to the Five Elements Hall for assessment today. If you had arrived just one day earlier, you wouldn't have seen us; we were both in seclusion."
"Yes, that's quite good. Qing Wu, Huofeng, and the other four also passed their assessments today. If you went today, you could have met them."
"Let's go, let's go inside, eat and chat. Don't block the entrance of the restaurant."
Sui Xiaohang, smiling broadly, pulled Wan Lei inside.
"Aren't we waiting for Tian Suanzi?"
"Waiting for him for what? We'll order first. Just watch, as soon as the dishes arrive, Tian Suanzi will be here. He's that punctual."
Led by Sui Xiaohang, the group arrived at a private room on the fifth floor. Through the window, the scenery of Heron Tower Academy was in full view. This restaurant was located next to Heron Tower Academy, making it a prime location in Chang'an City. With its good location, the food prices were outrageously high; Wan Lei hadn't seen such expensive dishes even in the Five Elements Hall.
Sui Xiaohang waved his hand, ordered the dishes, and then asked the waiter to bring the wine first.
While waiting for the dishes and Tian Suanzi, Sui Xiaohang sneakily took out two pills from his storage bag, handing one to Liu Yuxin and the other to Fang Xiaoyu.
"What is this? It smells good."
Fang Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"This is called a Beauty Restoring Pill. It can help women maintain their youth forever. After all, as you know, cultivators cannot achieve immortality. Although many people who are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years old look like young people, it's because their age falls within the prime of their current cultivation realm. When their lifespan is nearing its end, they will still age irreversibly.
But with this Beauty Restoring Pill, it's different. Although it won't increase lifespan at all, it can preserve youth, so they will always look young until the day they die."
"Wow~"
Fang Xiaoyu was overjoyed. After all, which girl could resist the temptation of eternal youth?
"Don't say anything when the little Taoist nun arrives later. I originally refined four batches, one for each of you girls. But when I was refining the last batch, Young Master Lei blew it up.
There's nothing I can do but give it to the three of you for now. As for the little Taoist nun's portion, I'll give it to her after I refine it later..."
"No, no, wait a moment. What do you mean I blew it up? Have I ever met you before today?"
Wan Lei was very surprised.
Mentioning this matter, Sui Xiaohang became indignant.
"Why wouldn't I blame you? It's all your fault. I was refining pills nicely that day, but suddenly a loud explosion sounded, followed by earthquakes and tremors. I was terrified and my mind was unsettled, so the furnace naturally exploded.
You, you were breaking someone out of prison, why did you bomb our Pill Peak? How many alchemists were refining pills there? Who the heck would have thought that one day someone would bomb the main peak of the Five Elements Hall..."
"Hahahaha..."
Wan Lei couldn't help but burst into laughter. At that time, he didn't know Sui Xiaohang was refining pills on Pill Peak, but even if he had known, it wouldn't have changed anything; the bombing would still have happened.
The efficiency of serving dishes in the grand restaurant was extremely fast. Ten minutes later, the entire table of dishes was served. As the last dish was placed on the table, Tian Suanzi and the little Taoist nun appeared at the entrance.
"Wang Fugui, your Taoist magic has improved. You can always time the serving of dishes so accurately. Calculate my fortune for me another day."
Sui Xiaohang said with a hearty laugh.
Tian Suanzi also cursed him with a smile and then took his seat.
Wan Lei didn't laugh because he noticed two unusual things.
The pressure emanating from Tian Suanzi was that of the Tai Heng realm!
Furthermore, he had brought a big yellow dog, and that dog was also in the Tai Heng realm!
"Wang Fugui, what's going on with your cultivation? Damn it, you're improving faster than me?"
Wan Lei exclaimed in surprise.
Tian Suanzi smiled slightly, exuding the demeanor of a reclusive master.
"Heh, what? Isn't it natural for me to be faster than you? Don't think you're the only prodigy in this world. Young man, I advise you to always maintain a humble heart. Know that there are always greater talents beyond your own, and don't underestimate the heroes of the world... Da Feng Novel Network.
Hey, hey, hey, why are you starting a fight? Let go, let go."
"Talk properly, why are you acting so pretentious?"
Wan Lei released Tian Suanzi's hair.
"Actually, after Heavenly Venerate brought me to the Immortal Realm, he awakened the memories of my previous lives. With past memories, I have a much better understanding of cultivation realms and insights. Coupled with the resources of the Heavenly Venerate Pavilion, rapid progress in cultivation is quite normal."
"You? You have past lives? Weren't your past lives just Wang Fugui?"
"My current life is Wang Fugui."
"Isn't your current life Tian Suanzi?"
"Wang Fugui and Tian Suanzi are the same person. Are you drunk and drank too much fake wine?"
