第两千八百三十六章 香儿与夏侯兰

Master Nai Long clasped his fists and bowed, his expression utterly sincere. After all, the Immortal of Cold Moon and the Queen of Qing Qiu were both visiting here; even for him, this was a matter of great honor.

He naturally felt pleased inside.

"Haha, Brother Nai Long, you shouldn't say such things," he said with a smile. "We've been friends for so long, and today is your big day. Even if I'm busy, how could I possibly miss out on a toast to celebrate?"

The Queen of Qing Qiu's silvery laughter rang through the air from beside him. Though she was hard to see clearly, her voice alone made one's heart and soul intoxicated.

"Oh? What else does His Majesty have in mind?" Master Nai Long asked with a slight solemnity, slightly surprised.

He had never wronged this Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, so he wondered if she might come looking for trouble today?

This thought made him feel uneasy. If it were any other day, he wouldn't fear the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, but today was his big day. If this Queen of Qing Qiu truly meant harm...

Not just him, but all the old monsters around were also on edge. Of course, some were gloating; if the famous Master Nai Long and the Queen of Qing Qiu were to clash, there would be a show today.

However, those who harbored such thoughts were cultivators with whom Master Nai Long had only superficial relationships. True friends showed concern on their faces.

Master Nai Long was no ordinary figure, but the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's strength and reputation clearly surpassed his. If she came to disrupt things today, it might not end well.

Fortunately, there was no need for worry; the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was merely jesting:

"Of course, I'm here to celebrate as well, but more importantly, I wish to see Fairy Qianqian," the Queen of Qing Qiu said. "To make you, a wayward young man, return to your senses, she must be an extraordinary person."

Master Nai Long smiled politely and replied, "Your Majesty flatters me. Qianqian is just an ordinary woman; how can I compare to the renowned Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox?"

Fairy Qianqian stood beside Master Nai Long and responded with a graceful smile, "Your Majesty is too kind. If it could make Master Nai Long submit, she must not be an ordinary woman."

The Queen of Qing Qiu said with a knowing nod.

"Enough, enough," Cold Moon Immortal interrupted. "There's no need for the two of you to flatter each other. We're here to celebrate, not to stroke each other's egos. Both fairies are remarkable figures; everyone knows that."

This interruption allowed the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and Fairy Qianqian to stop their conversation.

Seizing this opportunity, several old monsters who had been busy greeting others quickly came forward to pay their respects.

Though they were usually domineering in front of ordinary people, these old monsters were nothing compared to Cold Moon Immortal and the Queen of Qing Qiu. Especially those at the early stages of tribulation, without Master Nai Long's good fortune, they wouldn't even have the chance to meet them.

Now, their faces showed excitement; if they could make a connection with these two today, it would be immensely beneficial for them.

While all the old monsters were busy greeting, two young women quietly flew over to Lin Xuan.

"Brother Lin."

The same voice echoed from both of them. They were looking for the same person.

All the old monsters' eyes widened in surprise. Though they were preoccupied with greetings, these old fellows had keen senses; there weren't many people here, and every move was within their sight. The two young women stood beside Cold Moon Immortal and the Queen of Qing Qiu, each bringing only one companion to celebrate.

Though the identities of the two young women remained unclear, they were clearly close associates of Cold Moon Immortal and the Queen of Qing Qiu—likely disciples or family members at most.

Their cultivation levels might be insignificant in the eyes of these old monsters, both at the Spirit Cultivation stage, but their connection to Loose Immortals and Demonic Kings made them not to be underestimated.

Just as a prince's daughter, even if she wasn't outstanding, no one would dare slight her.

This analogy was perhaps not entirely fitting, but the principle was the same. This young man, Lin Xuan, was truly remarkable; he had not only been personally welcomed by Master Nai Long but now also had connections with Loose Immortals and Demonic Kings.

The old monsters were still in shock. Many secretly sucked in their breaths, grateful that they hadn't immediately sought trouble with this Lin Xuan, or else, they might have ended up in a sticky situation.

Lin Xuan suddenly attracted everyone's attention; even Master Nai Long couldn't help but mutter under his breath, impressed by how well-connected the young man was. It seemed he had more connections than expected.

Regardless of the reactions of these old monsters, Xiaohou Lan and Fragrance flew to Lin Xuan's side simultaneously, greeting him in unison. Then, they exchanged a glance, with Xiaohou Lan remaining calm while Fragrance's gaze held suspicion and hostility.

The little girl was jealous.

It wasn't hard to understand; after parting ways in the Ice Sea Realm, Lin Xuan had given her some kind of promise before following his master away. The window between them had been broken down.

Now, by chance, she finally saw her longed-for lover, only for a beautiful and noble young woman to suddenly appear, seemingly connected to Lin Xuan as well. How could Fragrance's heart not be affected?

This carefree flower was still flirting with others?

Fragrance felt both hurt and wronged, making Lin Xuan feel heartache. But with so many people around, how could he explain it?

The surrounding old monsters, all seasoned veterans, easily discerned the young women's emotions.

They muttered in surprise, but some were secretly delighted; now, there would be a good show.

Only Master Nai Long sighed deeply; this scene was familiar to him. He had encountered such situations countless times before.

Tsk tsk, two women vying for his attention, and this young man truly had it going on. Despite not looking like much, he seemed to have many admirers. It looked like the reputation of the First Playboy of the Spirit World was about to be passed down.

Master Nai Long was lost in thought when a sudden chill ran through him. He felt a sharp pain in his ear as Fairy Qianqian grabbed it with her delicate fingers: "How could you already regret your old lover just before marrying me? You must be thinking of your past lovers again, triggered by the sight?"
