An unusual herb like the ginseng had a good intuition of danger. It ran away at the sight of Long Xue.
Long Xue said in bewilderment, “Is that Xiao Jinting’s son?”
Qing Fu, the female cultivator, said, “Yes. He looks like Xiao Jinting.”
Long Xue narrowed her eyes. “Xiao Jinting has reached the peak of Nascent Soul, and Xu Muan seems to be the advanced Nascent Soul. Can they have babies?”
Qing Fu said, “So everyone says they are blessed.”
“The kid smells good. I want to swallow him.” Long Xue didn’t know the child was ginseng. She sensed it was a good thing with her intuition.
Qing Fu gasped. “Your majesty, that’s Xiao Jinting’s son. You can’t touch him. If you swallow him… He’s too small.” Qing Fu seemed to misunderstand Long Xue.
Long Xue glanced at her and said sulkily, “What are you thinking? Am I so desperate in your eyes?” She clenched her fist. What was going on? She was beautiful. Why did Qing Fu think she would take a fancy to a child? Just because she didn’t marry anyone?
Qing Fu gave an awkward smile. “Your Majesty, I didn’t mean that.”
Long Xue snorted coldly. “You’d better not.”
Dongcheng Yang came out and said, “Ms. Long, you’ve come back.”
Long Xue crossed her arms and said with a vague smile, “Yeah. You don’t seem happy to see me back.”
Dongcheng Yang quickly shook his head and said, “Ms. Long, you’ve got me wrong.”
Long Xue said, “Mr. Dongcheng, that son of Xiao Jinting is adorable.”
Dongcheng Yang winced at the mention of the mischievous child. “Yeah, the son of the First Elder and Elder Xu is lovely. With their help, he has a bright future.”
…
The ginseng ran and bumped into Xiao Xiaojin.
Xiao Xiaojin looked at the panting ginseng and frowned. “Why are you running so fast?”
The ginseng said worriedly, “A demonic beast wanted to eat me. She’s scary, scarier than your father.” Although Long Xue didn’t do anything, the ginseng felt the threat.
Xiao Xiaojin looked at the ginseng and smiled. “I guess you’ve met Long Xue.”
“The devil.” The ginseng covered its mouth and looked afraid, fearing that Long Xue would come out from nowhere.
Xiao Xiaojin patted the ginseng on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be a coward. You are her peer. You are great. I can’t get in the same league as her.”
Looking at the gloating smile on Xiao Xiaojin’s face, the ginseng said in depression, “She is powerful.”
Thinking of her imposing air, the ginseng was scared.
Xiao Xiaojin muttered, “The female devil is back. It looks like things are almost settled in Nebula. It’s too fast.”
The ginseng followed Xiao Xiaojin in depression back to Xiao Jinting’s house.
Looking at the ginseng, Xiao Jinting stroked its head and said, “My son, why do you come back so early?”
The ginseng told people that it was Xiao Jinting’s son, and Xiao Jinting naturally treated it as his son.
Xiao Xiaojin said, “It was scared by Long Xue.”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Oh, I see. My son, learn from her. She is the real devil. You are a false one. When the real devil comes up, you have to hide.”
The ginseng was speechless.
Xiao Xiaojin didn’t know what to say.
After a while, he asked, “Father, did Long Xue come back because those Deity Transformation left Nebula?”
Xiao Jinting nodded. “When they heard that the Tower of Babel could access the Immortal World, those Deity Transformation cultivators swarmed to Nebula.”
“Nebula is too small to support so many Deity Transformation cultivators, who left there when they found out the tower would be open in dozens of years.”
“I guess they will go to Nebula again when the tower opens again. There will be fierce fights.”
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “Father, will you go there when the tower opens?”
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Yes, of course.”
Xiao Xiaojin asked, “Father, the competition has got fierce. Do you think you can get the key to the tower?”
Xiao Jinting said sullenly, “I’m famous for something. You look down on me.”
