Chapter 6: Moving into Hermit Valley, Half a Month After the Competition (2/2)

The simple courtyard had only an old tree, a stone table, and a main house facing the courtyard gate.

In Xuan’er’s eyes, this was already a mansion.

“That’s right, only we live here. Xuan’er can play here every day in the future.”

Ning Wuxie set Xuan’er down and watched her take small steps to the door, push it open, and cough from the dust that fell, wrinkling her little nose.

Just as she was about to walk behind the courtyard gate to pick up the broom that was taller than her, a sudden knock sounded at the gate.

Xuan’er was startled and ran to Ning Wuxie, hugging his legs and tilting her head to look at the gate.

She was very afraid of sudden strangers at the door, and only by holding onto Ning Wuxie did she feel a bit of safety.

Ning Wuxie bent down and held her in his arms, while Xuan’er tightly clung to his neck. He opened the door and saw a middle-aged cultivator in a luxurious robe standing outside.

“Ning Wuxie, you just moved in, right?”

The man looked at Ning Wuxie, who appeared young and was holding a child, and couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

“Yes.”

“I came to inform you of something. In half a month, there will be a small competition in Area C of Hermit Valley. The winner can move into Area B, while the loser must retreat to Area D.”

“Area D is a collective dormitory, with only one bed per person. At that time, regardless of whether your partner or servant, they must leave.”

After delivering the message, the middle-aged cultivator turned and left, leaving Ning Wuxie to close the door with a solemn expression.

“Brother, does this mean we won’t live here for long…” Xuan’er was smart and understood the middle-aged cultivator’s words.

She looked at Ning Wuxie and said with a hint of grievance.

“Don’t worry, brother will make sure Xuan’er can live here safely,” Ning Wuxie patted Xuan’er’s back and comforted her, “Brother is very capable and can ensure Xuan’er has a good life!”

Xuan’er leaned on Ning Wuxie’s shoulder, and upon hearing this, her heart felt warm and fuzzy.

She shyly giggled and tightened her arms around Ning Wuxie.

“Okay~” she replied sweetly.

After setting Xuan’er down, the two began to clean the place. Ning Wuxie took on the majority of the work, and while working, he pondered the words of the middle-aged cultivator.

“I almost forgot about the living area’s promotion and demotion system in Hermit Valley.”

“That guy Li Luobing has probably already moved into a higher-grade Immortal Hidden Valley…”

Indeed, at this time, Li Luobing was also in Hermit Valley!

Moreover, she had become a disciple of a powerful recluse here and had moved into a higher-grade Immortal Hidden Area!

With the help of this powerful figure, Li Luobing’s cultivation progressed rapidly, and with her status as the third princess of the Great Chu Empire, she enjoyed countless precious cultivation resources.

From this point on, Li Luobing rose like a star, gradually shining brightly across the entire Spirit Martial Continent, becoming an absolute prodigy that attracted the attention of the entire Human Sect.

Her beauty was unparalleled, her figure was outstanding, and her cultivation was the absolute best among her peers. Such talent allowed her to join the Human Sect early, become a Cultivator, and eventually succeed the previous Human Emperor after his abdication.

Since then, Li Luobing wielded immense power, becoming the representative of Human Sect cultivators, and began to gradually reveal her true nature.

Coming from a noble family, she inherently looked down on mortals. She allowed the Human Sect to collude with various sects, oppressing mortals, forcing them to cultivate spirit herbs and mine spirit stones, leading to the starvation of countless commoners.

Privately, she also favored some while neglecting others, secretly supplying many resources to the Chu Kingdom.

This led to the gradual growth of the Chu Kingdom, reigniting conflict among the mortal empires.

Perhaps as retribution, after becoming the Human Emperor, her cultivation gradually stagnated, and even Ning Wuxie, who cultivated later, could catch up.

Ultimately, a “Demonic Path” emerged in the north, resisting the Human Sect and various sects, with Jiang Ningxuan as its leader!

Until this demon king made an appearance, people realized that there were even more powerful cultivators than Li Luobing!

The title of Demonic Path Empress gradually spread among the people.

Ning Wuxie silently looked at Xuan’er, who was leaning on the stone table in the small courtyard, swinging her little legs and resting her chubby face on her hands, her gaze fixed on him.

Seeing Ning Wuxie looking over, she shyly smiled, turned her head away, and then, as if reluctant, quietly turned back.

He silently thought, “Jiang Ningxuan, this time we must win!”
