"You little rascal..."
"Is there anything else you'd like?"
Jiang Che chuckled and pinched Cai Wenji's soft little face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"That's all... This doll is enough..."
Cai Wenji gently shook her head; she truly only liked this doll and didn't want anything else.
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady..."
Jiang Che, with a warm and welcoming smile on his face, nodded to Xi Shi, then took Cai Wenji's hand and left.
Now that Xi Shi has come to Chang'an, there will be plenty of opportunities to spend time together, so Jiang Che is naturally in no hurry.
"Goodbye, sister..."
"Thank you for the doll, sister. Wenji really likes it..."
Cai Wenji waved goodbye to Xi Shi with a sweet smile, and then left West Market Street with Jiang Che.
"This little girl is so cute..."
"If only it were my sister..."
"I must save all the good things for her!"
Watching Jiang Che and Cai Wenji's departing figures, Xi Shi sighed, feeling a deep envy for Jiang Che.
I envy the other person for having such a well-behaved, sensible, lively, and adorable younger sister.
With such an adorable little guy by your side, life must be much less troublesome, right?
"If you want, why don't you just become her god-sister..."
Suddenly, Zhong Wuyan, who was standing to the side, interjected.
..................................
077: Yang Yuhuan breaks through the Nascent Soul stage and wins the heart of the beauty!
"To adopt a god-sister?"
Upon hearing Zhong Wuyan's words, Xi Shi paused for a moment, then reached out and stroked her chin, seemingly pondering how feasible the matter was.
If I really accept that little girl as my god-sister, wouldn't my wish be easily fulfilled?
"Forget it..."
"Let's see if we meet again sometime..."
Xi Shi gently shook her head. In the end, she and Jiang Che and Cai Wenji were just strangers who met by chance, and it was hard to say whether they would meet again in the future.
Besides, if you rush to recognize someone as your god-sister after just one meeting, it makes you seem like you have ulterior motives.
………….
As the sun sets and fiery clouds fill the sky, night quietly descends.
The bustling Zhuque Avenue was still teeming with people.
After taking the little girl for a stroll, Jiang Che returned to Qingyun Manor.
Although Jiang Che felt a little regretful that he didn't encounter any other opportunities, he quickly adjusted his mood.
After all, opportunities are not something you can just have whenever you want; you can't force them.
When Jiang Che returned to Qingyun Manor, Ali and Yun Ying had also returned and were sitting in the hall chatting and laughing.
Jiang Che handed the little girl to Ali, gave the two women some instructions, and was about to return to his study to study the martial arts techniques.
Suddenly, a faint yet terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Qingyun Manor.
Under this extremely powerful pressure, all the maids of Qingyun Manor trembled with fear, feeling as if they had needles stuck in their backs.
Jiang Che and A Li Yun Ying were slightly more powerful, so they were not affected too much.
"Husband..."
"This oppressive force..."
"Did Sister Yu Huan break through to a higher level?"
Ali looked up at Jiang Che with a face full of surprise and excitement. She seemed even happier than when she herself broke through her cultivation level.
The little white rabbit on her chest began to rise and fall, almost bursting out.
Having spent many years with Yang Yuhuan, Ali was naturally very familiar with her sister's aura and immediately sensed it.
While Yang Yuhuan's aura was terrifying before, it was nowhere near as powerful as it is now.
This can only mean one thing: her cultivation has broken through again!
He has naturally broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!
"That's right, it was Sister Yuhuan who successfully broke through..."
"You little rascal, are you that happy?"
Jiang Che glanced in the direction of the forbidden room where Yang Yuhuan was, and nodded in response to A-Li's question.
Seeing the other person's incredibly excited expression, I couldn't help but tease them.
"Of course..."
"Hehe... Sister Yu Huan has now successfully broken through, doesn't that mean Qingyun Manor will have its first Nascent Soul stage expert?"
"Husband, Sister Yunying, let's go over and offer our congratulations to Sister Yuhuan!"
Ah Li was overjoyed. She grabbed Jiang Che's arm and carried Cai Wenji toward the forbidden room where Yang Yuhuan was in seclusion.
"You two, wait for me!"
Yunying swung her high ponytail and followed closely behind the two.
........................
Inside the forbidden room, Yang Yuhuan stood up from the futon, stretched, and gracefully examined herself to see what was wrong with her.
Seeing that the golden core in her lower abdomen had condensed into a Nascent Soul Dao Fruit, a bright smile bloomed on her pretty face as she murmured to herself.
"After nearly a month of seclusion, I've finally made some progress..."
"While it's still not as good as that scoundrel, it's not bad either..."
Previously, Jiang Che's breakthrough to the Golden Core realm had caused quite a stir in Qingyun Manor, and Yang Yuhuan naturally sensed it, knowing that Jiang Che had broken through to the next realm before her.
Yang Yuhuan readily accepted this offer.
She no longer harbored any naive idea that she could surpass Jiang Che in cultivation progress; it was simply unrealistic.
After checking her own Nascent Soul Dao Fruit and confirming that there were no problems, Yang Yuhuan finally pushed open the door and went out.
Standing at the end of the corridor, Yang Yuhuan opened her arms, feeling the warmth of nature, her eyes slightly narrowed, breathing in the long-lost fresh air.
A short while later, accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching, Jiang Che and his group appeared directly in the villa.
"Sister Yuhuan, you've finally emerged from seclusion!"
"Ah Li has really missed you this past month..."
With a beaming smile, Ali took graceful steps and walked up to Yang Yuhuan. She reached out and took Yang Yuhuan's arm, expressing her longing for her.
"oh ?"
"Do you really miss me?"
"You little rascal, you're probably just putting on an act. You've been having too much fun in the past month, haven't you?"
Yang Yuhuan raised her eyebrows, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and with a half-smile, she teased him.
Yang Yuhuan didn't believe a single word of Ali's heartfelt expression.
"No, Sister Yuhuan, don't talk nonsense..."
Ali's pretty face flushed slightly, showing both the shyness of a young girl and the embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed.
Although Yang Yuhuan didn't say anything explicitly, how could Ali not understand what she meant by "playing wildly"?
"Congratulations, Sister Yu Huan, on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage! You've taken another step on your path to immortality!"
"From now on, Qingyun Manor will have its first Nascent Soul expert in charge..."
Yun Ying smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with delight. She winked playfully, her lips parted slightly, and she too offered a congratulatory greeting to Yang Yuhuan.
The girl's eyes sparkled, her lively gaze darting back and forth between Jiang Che and Yang Yuhuan, her mind wandering to all sorts of random thoughts.
Knowing Jiang Che as she does, now that he sees that Sister Yu Huan has emerged from seclusion, he's probably itching to devour her!
Yunying naturally wouldn't object to this.
As I said before, a mature woman should actively seek out loyal allies who can share the burden of the battle.
Yunying now understands this well, and Yang Yuhuan is someone she knows very well.
Rather than letting those stinky men outside benefit from it, it's better to let this scoundrel Jiang Che benefit from it. After all, it's better to keep the good stuff in the family.
"You're really good with words..."
Yang Yuhuan seemed quite pleased with Yun Ying's praise, her lips curving upwards in a radiant smile.
"This little girl is..."
With a casual glance, Yang Yuhuan quickly noticed Cai Wenji, who was being held in Jiang Che's arms and staring at her with her big, blinking eyes. She hesitated for a moment before asking a question.
Having been in seclusion for some time and unaware of anything happening in the outside world, Yang Yuhuan naturally did not recognize the little girl in Jiang Che's arms.
"Her name is Cai Wenji. She's a little girl my husband adopted a few days ago. She comes from the Three Kingdoms region..."
When Yang Yuhuan asked, Ali finally spoke up and explained, roughly recounting Cai Wenji's past and origins.
"Wenji, she's the Yu Huan I mentioned to you before..."
"Sister Yuhuan is such a gentle person, go say hello to her..."
Jiang Che put the little girl down from his arms, reached out and touched her short, emerald-green hair, and smiled as he reminded her.
