Morning in the corner of the secret garden of the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom, a young girl stood in front of the door of a small room filled with many arrays. It was unclear how long she had been standing or how many times she had waited there because the door she waited by, initially closed, opened when a middle-aged man emerged from the small room. The young girl, standing at the door, watched as the middle-aged man approached, his body radiating a strong qi as if to flaunt his cultivation. Upon reaching her, the man spoke with a joyful expression.
"Hahaha, my dearest daughter! The cultivation technique of our family, which has been improved by your Miss immortal master, is truly remarkable! After your master enhanced our family’s cultivation technique, our cultivation no longer halts at the peak stage of Nascent Soul. We can even cultivate to the peak stage of Body Integration, even in this qi-poor continent of Fellow Sun! As the king of the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom, I am truly grateful to your master, my dear daughter! When your master gave you this enhanced technique, did she ask for anything in return for improving our technique?"
“It's alright, father. Master did not ask for anything. Besides, she only improved our family’s technique because I am her disciple. Also, did you encounter any problems while cultivating for six days using the technique?”
“Problems? Of course not! The strengths and weaknesses of the improved technique are exactly as your immortal master described. The weaknesses aren't even much of an issue if we have the divine fruit that your master possesses. Xianxiu dear, can you give father some of the divine fruit you have?”
“No, besides, I’ve already given you plenty of divine fruits and vegetables.”
“I’ve already consumed all of them to raise my cultivation to the mid-stage of Body Integration before you brought this improved family technique. And surely, I shouldn’t have to search for qi-dense areas to cultivate when my daughter has divine fruits that can speed up the process. Come on, Xianxiu dear, help your father out~” the king replied to Luo Xianxiu, pleading in a mock imitation of a woman.
“That expression is disgusting, father! Where is your dignity? Aren’t you embarrassed to show such behavior in front of your daughter?”
“What’s dignity? Can it be eaten? As long as I get some of your divine fruits or vegetables, I don’t care about dignity! Come on, dear Xianxiu~, help your father~. These fruits and vegetables are too miraculous. Even though their effect only boosts cultivation by one stage and won’t work again after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they’re still incredible with the sheer amount of qi they provide, not to mention their other amazing benefits. I’ll even buy them from you for 10,000 gold coins, how about that?”
“No! I won’t give or sell any of the divine fruits or vegetables, not even if you gave me all the treasures of your kingdom! I still hold a grudge for your attempt to marry me off to another kingdom!”
“My dear daughter, didn’t I already apologize six days ago when you returned? And you even forgave me. Why are you still holding a grudge? Besides, I tried to arrange your marriage to gain an ally, so when I died from my illness, our allies would retaliate if another kingdom attacked our territory. But that’s no longer necessary since I’ve recovered, and my cultivation has skyrocketed thanks to the divine fruit you gave me—”
“Blah, blah, blah, I don’t care about your reasons! If I hadn’t met Master, you’d still have gone through with the marriage! Hmph! Since there’s no issue with our family’s improved cultivation technique, it’s time for me to return to Master. Besides, I’ve been here for six days. Goodbye, father!”
Seeing his daughter leave with a displeased expression, Xianxiu's father, the king, leaped toward her, surprising her. He dropped to the ground and grabbed her leg to stop her from leaving, saying:
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“Xianxiu dear, don’t go~, father is truly sorry. Don’t you feel sorry for me seeing me like this?”
“Let go of me! I don’t feel sorry; in fact, I’m disgusted by your behavior! Where’s your dignity as a king, hugging your daughter’s leg for her divine fruit! I might as well be the king if I have to witness this!”
“You want to be king? Fine, I’ll pass the kingdom on to you, as long as you give me plenty of divine fruits. Deal?”
“No! I don’t want that! Haaaaah… never mind, I need to get back to Master. So let go of my leg!”
“No! I won’t let go until you forgive me and give me some of your divine fruits!”
As the king lay there pathetically, clutching his daughter’s leg, suddenly, someone dressed in black appeared before him, kneeling and speaking in a monotone voice.
“Your Majesty, forgive me for daring to disturb you.”
“Mm-hmm… what is it? Why is the leader of the secret spy unit here?” the king responded, straightening up with dignity as the spy leader bowed.
“…Your Majesty, I bring important information from one of our spies embedded in the three main sects.”
“What is the information? Speak quickly.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Our spies in the Great Thunder Sect report that the sect has been destroyed by a white dragon carrying a woman and a little girl on its back.”
“The Great Thunder Sect destroyed by a dragon? How is that possible? You said the dragon carried a woman and a little girl on its back? Are you sure it was really a dragon? Do you know the identity of the two people the dragon was carrying?”
“It was indeed a real dragon, Your Majesty. As for the two people, our spy could only identify the woman, who is named Xue Lanting, from the White Lotus Sect.”
“A woman from the White Lotus Sect? Isn’t that just a minor sect? How could she bring a dragon to destroy an entire sect? And why would the dragon help? Does your spy know why it aided her?”
“From the information gathered, when the white dragon and the little girl on its back responded to the elders of the Great Thunder Sect, it seems they were avenging the woman, Xue Lanting, who was nearly killed, and her junior sister who had already been murdered by the sect’s elders.”
“Wait, did you say the white dragon spoke? Did it sound like a child, speaking with arrogance? And the little girl you mentioned, could she have been wearing a ragged black robe?” Luo Xianxiu interrupted, cutting into her father’s conversation with the spy leader.
“Why do you ask that, daughter? Do you know this dragon and little girl?”
“I don’t know for sure, but when I hear this story, I have a feeling I recognize them. So, spy leader, can you answer my questions?”
“Of course, Princess. Unfortunately, the spy’s report didn’t describe the dragon’s voice, but it did confirm that the dragon could speak. As for the little girl, she was indeed wearing a ragged black robe, just as you described.”
“Hmm, can you provide details about the little girl’s cultivation level and whether she fought with weapons or bare hands?”
“The little girl was at the advanced Golden Core stage, and she fought bare-handed. Strangely, her punches were unbelievably powerful, as she single-handedly destroyed the Great Thunder Sect and the mountain it was on with just one punch.”
“No doubt, that’s Senior Sister. And the dragon must be Long Linglu, Master’s pet.”
“Are you sure, daughter, that it was your Senior Sister and Master’s pet dragon who destroyed the Great Thunder Sect?”
“Yes, father, I’m certain it was Senior Sister, although I’m less sure about the dragon being Long Linglu. Given that, it’s time I returned to Master. So much seems to have happened in just the six days I’ve been away. Goodbye, father.”
“Wait, my dear daughter! What about the divine fruits? Won’t you give your father a few?”
“Haaaaah… fine, I’ll give you ten. Here, take them! Goodbye!” Luo Xianxiu replied, pulling ten divine fruits from her storage ring and tossing them to her father before flying away at high speed, heading back to her master’s residence, far from the Fallen Rainbow Kingdom.
Watching his daughter’s harsh attitude didn’t anger the king; he smiled, delighted by her familiar, spoiled behavior. But his joyful expression quickly disappeared, replaced by a serious one as he watched his daughter vanish into the distance.
‘I don’t know why the Miss immortal allowed her disciple and pet to destroy the most famous sect on the Fallen Rainbow continent. Is this a sign that she no longer wishes to remain hidden, or am I overthinking this? One thing is certain: I’m sure this continent will face great upheavals in the future due to the actions of the immortal,’ the king reflected, his gaze still fixed in the direction his daughter had flown, his mind working to unravel the deeper meaning behind the immortal's recent moves.
