As Hong Niang entered the room, both Chi Xiao and Lu Long immediately knelt.
“Master.”
Han Luo also followed suit. “Greetings, Martial Aunt.”
“Rise.”
Hong Niang sat gracefully, exuding an ethereal presence, far removed from the earthly playfulness of Chi Xiao and Lu Long.
“Master, the mission has been completed,” Chi Xiao reported, her usual mischievous demeanor gone, replaced by deep respect for her teacher.
“Good. You may go.”
“Yes, Master.”
As they left, Chi Xiao shot Han Luo a cryptic glance, filled with mixed emotions.
Once they were gone, Han Luo wasted no time and got straight to the point—explaining why he had come.
—
Outside, Chi Xiao and Lu Long settled into a pavilion for a brief rest.
Lu Long was clearly holding back laughter.
She couldn’t hold it in anymore, bursting into laughter.
“What’s so funny? Share it with me,” Chi Xiao leaned in with a smirk, wrapping an arm around Lu Long’s shoulder.
“It’s nothing, really.”
“Oh?” Chi Xiao narrowed her eyes. “Don’t tell me… you’ve actually taken a liking to that Wo Shi Zhu guy? You know, he might not be the strongest, but he’s calm and composed. Most junior disciples tremble when they see me, but he didn't even flinch, not even when you were sitting right there. His heart rate didn't even change. That kind of mental fortitude is rare.”
Chi Xiao was genuinely impressed.
Luo Xian Sect truly was a place filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
If she ever found out that the Wo Shi Zhu she was complimenting was actually the very person she had been hunting for over a year, she would probably explode on the spot and destroy Luo Xian Sect in rage.
Lu Long looked at Chi Xiao, who was still blissfully unaware.
With a teasing smile, she said, “Sister Xiao, try saying ‘Wo Shi Zhu’ in dialect of imperial capital. You’ll notice something… interesting.”
Chi Xiao blinked in confusion but followed the instruction.
“Wo Shi Zhu, Wo Shi Zhu, Wo Shi Zhu, Wo Shi Zhu, Wo Shi… I AM A… PIG?!”
For three long seconds, there was absolute silence—as if even time itself had frozen.
Then—
BOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted as Chi Xiao obliterated the pavilion in a fit of rage.
“THAT BASTARD! HOW DARE HE MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME! HAND ME MY SPEAR!”
Chi Xiao’s body ignited, flames roaring around her as she stormed toward Hong Niang’s meditation chamber.
Without hesitation—
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
BAM!
She kicked the wooden door into splinters.
But—
The room was empty.
Hong Niang and that bastard had already left.
“AAAAAAAHHHH!!!”
With nowhere to vent her fury, Chi Xiao unleashed a firestorm, scorching everything in her path.
“Sister Xiao! Don’t wreck Master’s chamber! She’ll punish you for this!” Lu Long quickly sent out vines, wrapping around Chi Xiao’s waist and dragging her away.
Somewhere on Piao Miao Peak, atop a small mountain—
BOOM!
Chi Xiao flattened the entire peak in an explosion of rage.
Lu Long sighed, shaking her head.
There was no taming her.
Still, it was precisely because of Chi Xiao’s wild and untamed nature that Lu Long had come to see her as family.

Meanwhile, at Piao Miao Peak’s Fire Mulberry Forest—
“Han Luo , this entire Fire Mulberry Forest is one of our best. Even Yun Qian Ren himself has asked for it, and I refused. But today, I’ll gift it to you,” Hong Niang said warmly.
Dressed in flaming red robes, she carried an aura of nobility. Despite being hundreds of years old, she still looked no older than twenty-seven or twenty-eight, radiating mature beauty and grace.
Her every movement carried the elegance of a true celestial maiden.
Han Luo respectfully cupped his hands. “Thank you, Martial Aunt. I will remember this kindness. If you ever need my assistance in the future, I will not refuse.”
He was more than happy to maintain a good relationship with someone like Hong Niang.
One, it meant having a strong backing in case of emergencies.
Two, as a Luo Xian Sect disciple, having good relations with high-ranking figures could only benefit him.
In fact—
Once his Trapping Immortal Array was complete, he planned to personally visit the major Peak Lords with homemade dishes.
Having connections and backup plans was never a bad idea.
Hong Niang smiled knowingly.
“Actually, there is something I’d like you to help me with.”
Han Luo ’s heart skipped a beat.
He had a bad feeling about this.
“Please, speak.”
“It’s simple,” Hong Niang’s smile deepened. “I have three thousand disciples, and among them, one named Chi Xiao—a girl with extraordinary talent, but a volatile temper. If left unchecked, it will hinder her cultivation progress.”
Han Luo ’s face immediately darkened.
A bad premonition came true.
“I observed you today—you’re calm and composed, the perfect counterbalance to her fiery nature.”
A sinister grin formed on Hong Niang’s lips.
“So, I’ve decided—to marry you to her. You’ll be her husband, and you’ll help guide her temper. How about it?”
Han Luo froze. What. The. Hell.
Chi Xiao as his wife?! Was this a blessing or a death sentence?!
“Uh… Martial Aunt, this is an important matter. I think we should… uh, take our time to consider—OH LOOK AT THE TIME! I THINK I LEFT SOMETHING COOKING AT HOME! I MUST GO!”
Before Hong Niang could respond—
SWOOSH!
Han Luo bolted out of the room, disappearing into the distance like his life depended on it.
If he stayed even a moment longer, he might actually get married by force.
—
Returning to Luo Xian Mountain, Han Luo felt a deep unease.
It was as if something sinister was lurking, waiting to pounce on him.
His body reacted violently—dry heaving, cold sweat, headache… the works.
From now on, Piao Miao Peak was a place he could never set foot in again.
It was too dangerous.
Too terrifying.
For male cultivators, it was even more perilous than the Seven Great Forbidden Lands of the Cultivation World.
At that moment, he made a decision.
He would never go near Piao Miao Peak again.
It was hell on earth.
With a shudder, he forced himself to focus.
He needed to finish the Trapping Immortal Array.
A year passed.
Standing atop Luo Xian Mountain, he gazed upon the 108 fully completed sub-arrays, nodding in satisfaction.
Finally—it was done.
From today onward—
The Eighth Forbidden Land of the Cultivation World is officially established.
One day, Luo Xian Mountain would be feared across the mortal realm.
But more importantly—
Now, he could finally cultivate in peace.
Only by doing this could he finally set aside his paranoia and focus solely on cultivation.
Otherwise, he would always feel like there were a pair of mischievous eyes watching him from the shadows, sending shivers down his spine.
With his goal set, it was time to return to reality.
Turning Luo Xian Mountain into the Eighth Forbidden Land was no small feat—it was a long road ahead.
For now, the foundation was complete, but he still needed extensive testing to ensure everything was functioning properly.
And when it came to testing the formation, he definitely couldn't do it himself.
As for the people he knew in Luo Xian Sect—
The Peak Lords were out of the question.
Chi Xiao? Absolutely not.
Lu Long? They weren’t that close.
Sister Xiao? Same issue.
As for his fellow disciples—
Despite having been in Luo Xian Sect for three years, he had never met a single one of them.
However—
He suddenly recalled that three years ago, his master Wu Dao had not only taken him as a disciple but had also accepted a young girl named Shen Xian’er.
Thinking about that innocent, pure-hearted little girl, Han Luo couldn't help but smile.
Clearly— There was no one more suited for the job of test subject than Shen Xian’er.
Don't forget to follow as it help me lot.
