Otherworldly-Cultivator

Three women were sitting together in a room made of snow, and they were seriously discussing something, but one of them suddenly shouted. "I refuse! Mother, I know the Xuanyuan Clan is strong, and my father wants to marry one of us to Xuanyuan Jingtian to strengthen the relationship between the two clans, but I have decided never to marry, so you can tell him to cancel his intention."

"You don't need to be this angry, Mei'er." Yi Qingcheng said as she shook her head. "Honestly, I've expected that you would refuse, and I've talked to your father not to force you if you object to it, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xue Mei released a sigh of relief after she heard that. "Moreover, the one Xuanyuan Jingtian likes is my big sister, but she has never been interested in that kind of feeling, so she will never accept him, and our father just wants to use me as a substitute for her."

"You are right, Mei'er." Bing Luo chimed in. "Lan'er is a cold woman, and she has never known such feelings. However, I feel that she changed a little after she returned from the southern region, and her change seemed to be related to Long Wang."

"Did my big sister tell you guys about Long Wang?" Xue Mei asked in surprise, especially since Xue Lan didn't tell her about Long Wang, and she learned about him from Dongfang Hanxue and the others.

Both women nodded to him, and Yi Qingcheng explained to her second daughter. "Your brother discovered Xueyan's whereabouts in the Blue Moon Sect, so he wanted to go there to take her home and marry her off to Hua Gaoyun. However, your sister suddenly returned to the clan to stop him, and he told us about Long Wang."

Instantly, Xue Mei frowned after hearing about her niece. "Are you serious, Mother? Why did Xueyan choose to join there? She should have joined us, and we could protect her from my brother, so he wouldn't be able to force her to marry that old fatty."

"Have you forgotten the character of my daughter, Mei'er?" Bing Luo asked back while releasing a heavy sigh. "Xueyan doesn't want you and Lan'er to be enemies with my husband because of her, so she chose to run away to the southern region. Even so, I didn't expect that she would join that sect, and she told me that she had given herself to Long Wang."

"Did you two know that Long Wang has several wives?" Yi Qingcheng immediately told Xue Mei about her conversation with Xue Lan yesterday. "Mother, two of his wives are in this sect now, and there is also one woman who is his future wife. Besides, there is another woman, but she seems to have come here specifically to protect those three women. However, I feel strange about her because her cultivation is in the sovereign realm, but I can feel that she is much stronger than my big sister."

The two women exchanged surprised glances after hearing that, and Yi Qingcheng asked. "Who are those four women?"

"Dongfang Hanxue and Shen Qing are Long Wang's wives, and Luo Yi is his future wife. The last woman is Feng Bing'er, but she doesn't want to gather with us, and she prefers to be alone."

"Can you take us to see them, Mei'er?"

"Sure." Xue Mei nodded to her sister-in-law and led them to another area. "Shen Qing and Luo Yi are training under Shi Shui, and Dongfang Hanxue should be at our ice pond because my big sister asked her to soak there for a week. As for Feng Bing'er, I don't know where she is now because I can't sense her presence."

Before long, they had arrived at Shen Qing and Luo Yi's training ground, and they saw the two women were seriously practicing water techniques, so they just watched the two women from a distance.

"Mother, their cultivation is still low, but they seem to have quite high comprehension."

"Yes." Yi Qingcheng nodded to her daughter-in-law. "Luo Yi's abilities are not bad, but Shen Qing is more skilled than her, and she seems to be more familiar with the water element."

"Mother, you haven't seen their movement speed, and their speed is extremely fast." Yi Qingcheng and Bing Luo turned to Xue Mei directly. "They had been training with our core disciples, but none of them could keep up with their movements, and neither could I."

"How can they be that fast?" Xue Mei shook her head at them, especially since they didn't tell her or the others about their training in the beast plane. "Let's go; I want to see Dongfang Hanxue."

.

Sometime later, they arrived at an open area, but there was only a pond filled with ice there, and they saw Dongfang Hanxue soaking in the middle of the pond. Even though the temperature was very cold, she seemed to be enjoying herself, especially since that place was still less cold compared to Feng Bing'er ice pound on the beast plane.

"Big Sister took Dongfang Hanxue as her sole direct disciple, and she also taught her secret technique to her."

Unlike Bing Luo, Yi Qingcheng was not surprised after hearing that because Xue Lan had already told her about her past relationship with Long Wang, and Dongfang Hanxue was the wife of his reincarnation, so it was natural for her to teach the techniques that she got from him to her.

"Do you feel something different about that girl, Mother?" Bing Luo asked her.

"Hmm?" Yi Qingcheng narrowed her eyes towards Dongfang Hanxue and observed her seriously. "Her ice qi is much stronger than us, and it's only slightly inferior to Lan'er. However, I also felt something unusual from her body, but I couldn't guess it."

"Why did you two come here?"

They immediately turned to Xue Lan, who had just landed beside them, and Yi Qingcheng told her eldest daughter about the purpose of their arrival, which made her turn angry, but Bing Luo explained it to her directly. "Lan'er, we only offered the matter to Mei'er, but she already rejected it, so we won't force her, and we will talk to our father later."

"That's good." Xue Lan replied with a nod, but her expression turned cold. "If anyone dares to force Mei'er to marry Xuanyuan Jingtian, then they will face me head-on, and I will not hesitate to beat anyone up."

Unlike their mother and sister-in-law, who sighed heavily because of her cold attitude, Xue Mei felt happy with her big sister's words, and she immediately hugged Xue Lan's arm. "I know you act like this because you deeply care for me, but you don't need to be this fierce towards them, Big Sis. Moreover, you are much stronger than our father now, so he wouldn't possibly dare force me to marry Xuanyuan Jingtian."

Bing Luo couldn't hold back her curiosity about Dongfang Hanxue, so she asked her sister-in-law. "What makes that girl special, Lan'er?"

"Sorry, that's Hanxue's secret, so I can't tell you anything." Xue Lan replied by shaking her head.

'Tch! Lan'er always likes this!' Bing Luo inwardly muttered in annoyance. "So when will Long Wang come to our clan? Xueyan has already become his woman, so I can't wait to meet my son-in-law, especially since I don't know anything about him yet."

"Hmm?" Xue Lan turned to Bing Luo as she contacted Chen Li, but he didn't give her a reply, especially since he was still too focused on completing the mission from his system. "I can't confirm that, so you can only wait until he comes by himself."

Bing Luo could only nod after she heard that, and she then turned to her mother-in-law. "Shall we go home? I think my father-in-law is waiting for us, so we should go back and convey Mei'er's answer to him."

"All right, let's go home now."

After the two women left, Xue Mei asked Xue Lan. "Big Sis, what exactly is your relationship with Long Wang? Why did you allow Xueyan to be his partner? After all, he already has many wives, so I feel strange about your decision regarding her."

"Are you that curious about our relationship?" Xue Mei nodded repeatedly to Xue Lan. "Long Wang was my father in my previous life, and he was the one who taught me all my knowledge, so I agree if Xueyan becomes his wife because he is the best man in the entire universe."

After hearing that, Xue Mei looked at her big sister with a face full of shock, and she never expected that Xue Lan would have such a relationship with Chen Li.

Seeing her little sister like that, Xue Lan smiled broadly while pinching Xue Mei's cheeks. "Your shocked expression is really funny, you know? However, I didn't lie to you, and our relationship went back hundreds of years; even all the techniques I taught you were his gift."

Suddenly, Xue Mei pulled her big sister to sit with her in the snow. "Big Sis, you already told our mother about your relationship with Long Wang, so I want you to tell me about the relationship between the two of you too."

"All right." Xue Lan then started telling her little sister many things, and Xue Mei listened to her attentively.
