Chapter 275: Reunion with the Little Loli Shangguan Ying
Chapter 275: Reunion with the Little Loli Shangguan Ying
In the following period, the Underworld Kings Mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers, with red flags fluttering everywhere.
Visitors came in an endless stream.
They were all members of the Aristocratic Families and the imperial clan who had survived the recent disaster.
Everyone heaped endless praise upon Qin Xuan.
They called him a pillar of the Mingyue Dynasty and the backbone of the Imperial Dynasty!
The treasures they presented were dazzling and radiant, overflowing with spiritual aura, making one's eyes swim.
Qin Xuan was not polite; he believed that only a fool would refuse a free gift.
If others dared to give, he dared to accept!
Some even brought their own virgin daughters, intending to offer them to Qin Xuan as personal maids.
Upon learning of this, Qing Ning spoke with a sour tone, forced to swallow her jealousy.
Su Youyu was even more furious, pointing at the nose of that royal uncle of the Underworld Princes Mansion and berating him.
The old prince didn't take it to heart at all, still grinning and insisting on the offer.
In the end, Wu Bingqing appeared, and with a few cold glares, she drove him away, scaring off all the noble daughters who wanted to cling to Qin Xuan.
This farce lasted for three full days and nights before it finally subsided.
"Don't take down the flags, and don't rush to remove the lanterns. Keep these decorations for one more day; I have a new Master's wife coming!"
On this day, Zhou Chen, who was practicing his punches and sweating profusely, suddenly saw the servants starting to take down the festive decorations. He quickly stood up and hurriedly issued instructions.
Qin Xuan, who happened to be passing by, slapped the back of Zhou Chen's head, "What nonsense are you spouting? What new Master's wife?"
Zhou Chen rubbed the back of his head in pain, "The Palace Master of the Double-Pupil Palace said that Young Miss Shangguan Ying would come today. Isn't she my Master's wife?"
As Zhou Chen asked, his clear eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.
"No!" Qin Xuan slapped the back of Zhou Chen's head again, muttering to himself, "At least, not yet."
Just then, a clear female voice rang out outside the Underworld Kings Mansion, "The Young Palace Master of the Double-Pupil Palace has arrived."
Before the person arrived, flower petals and a rainbow light appeared first.
Like a bridge of rainbows, it rose from nowhere and landed inside the Underworld Kings Mansion.
Around the rainbow bridge, gorgeous flower petals fell like rain.
From within that rainbow light, eight beautiful women dressed in white robes, all at the Peak of the Saint Realm, escorted the little loli Shangguan Ying as they slowly descended into the Underworld Kings Mansion.
"Young Miss Shangguan." Zhou Chen bowed respectfully, his attitude humble, as if meeting his Master's wife.
Shangguan Ying nodded slightly and gave a soft hum.
Before her gaze could shift, Qin Xuan had already stepped forward and patted her head, his eyes full of doting affection, "I haven't seen you for a while, but you seem to have grown a bit taller. The baby fat on your cheeks has also diminished; you don't look as childish as before and have matured quite a bit."
Lowering his head, he noticed Shangguan Ying's chest, and Qin Xuan's gaze froze.
How could this be? The more mature Shangguan Ying became, the smaller this important area seemed to get?
Although the Shangguan Ying in front of him was still as plump and prominent, the visual impact she brought him was far less intense than before.
You must know that Shangguan Ying was a true child-faced beauty with a voluptuous figure, possessing a bosom that could rival Luo Xinyi's.
But now, the Shangguan Ying before him was at least a size smaller.
"Did you not eat or drink enough at the Double-Pupil Palace, or did that Double-Pupil Woman mistreat you? Why have you become so thin?"
Qin Xuan asked with a pained heart, trying to comfort her.
Shangguan Ying raised her eyes, her watery orbs filled with a calm expression, and she said indifferently, "Young Master Qin, the Palace Master treats me very well. She not only guides my Cultivate but also provides me with massive resources to support my Breakthrough. I am now at the Saint Realm."
The eight maids who accompanied Shangguan Ying looked at Qin Xuan with gentle expressions and urged, "The Palace Master is about to head to the border to guard the vital territory where Prince Zijing is missing. During this time, we ask Your Highness Qin to take good care of the Young Palace Master."
"We will not disturb you any further."
The eight maids came quickly and left even faster. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared, leaving only Shangguan Ying alone in the Underworld Kings Mansion.
"Yingying, you finally came! I've missed you to death!"
Su Youyu, who had come out from the inner room, saw Shangguan Ying and rushed forward, pushing Qin Xuan aside.
She took Shangguan Ying's hand and pulled her toward her own room, "Come to my place, let's catch up properly."
In the entire Yaochi Sacred Land, it was well known that Qin Xuan doted on Shangguan Ying to the extreme.
Whenever there was something good, he would think of Shangguan Ying. When he came from the Land of Fallen Emperors, she was the first person he went to visit at Mingtong Peak.
Even though they weren't very familiar, Su Youyu felt it didn't matter.
Relationships can be cultivated slowly.
As long as she built a good relationship with Shangguan Ying, would she need to worry about Qin Xuan not having a good impression of her in the future?
Shangguan Ying stood frozen in place, unmoved by Su Youyu's pulling, and replied coldly, "Saintess, it seems you and I are not that familiar, right? We didn't even speak a single word to each other in the Yaochi Sacred Land."
"Aren't you being too distant? Isn't that right?" Su Youyu awkwardly scratched the back of Shangguan Ying's hand, "We've already said more than three sentences to each other now."
"I'm tired." Shangguan Ying pulled her hand away from Su Youyu and looked at Qin Xuan, "Young Master Qin, where is my room? I want to go rest."
Qin Xuan pointed to a room in the backyard without saying a word.
After Shangguan Ying left, Qing Ning walked to Qin Xuan's side, gazing at Shangguan Ying's retreating back, and whispered, "Young Master, Shangguan Ying is acting strange."
"Young Master, you must believe me. This time I'm really not jealous, nor do I have any selfish motives. It's Shangguan Ying's attitude; it's vastly different from before, so much so that it's like she's a different person."
Qin Xuan gave a grunt of acknowledgement. Without Qing Ning's reminder, he also knew that Shangguan Ying was acting strangely.
The change was too great.
Not to mention that when they met, she didn't throw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Even when he patted her head, she didn't show the same submissive enjoyment as before. In fact, he even sensed a hint of impatience in the depths of Shangguan Ying's eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that he could clearly sense Shangguan Ying's aura and distinctly discern that this was indeed Shangguan Ying's body.
He would have suspected that someone had disguised themselves as Shangguan Ying, deliberately impersonating her to sneak into the Underworld Kings Mansion!
"Qing Ning, you also think Shangguan Ying is acting strange? I think so too." Su Youyu familiarly sidled up to Qing Ning's side, unknowingly pushing Qing Ning aside, and leaned in close to Qin Xuan, whispering, "Is it possible that someone else is disguised as Shangguan Ying? I always feel that this Shangguan Ying is too cold and distant."
Qin Xuan shook his head, "It's unlikely to be a disguise."
Su Youyu muttered again, "Then is it possible that it's Possession? You know, the kind of old monster that refuses to die, turns into a Soul Cultivator, and takes over the plump and alluring body of a young girl."
Wu Bingqing, who had appeared on Qin Xuan's other side at some point, was a woman of few words and decisive action. She drew her sword, her gaze piercing, and said, "I will go kill her for you!"
