84 In A Chess Game, One Thing Defeats Another

(~˘▾˘)~~(˘▾˘~)

================

Dressed in the sky blue long dress made of divine silk prepared by the maid, Lan Yuhong looked like a floating fairy, even more enchanting and captivating.

Excitedly, she twirled in front of Xiao Fan, lively and playful, blinking her starry eyes and ask, "Brother Xiao Fan, do I look good?"

"Of course, Yuhong is the most beautiful in the world," Xiao Fan sincerely praised.

Although he had praised a girl as the most beautiful more than once, women are emotional creatures, as long as the words sound good, it doesn't matter if they are true or not.

Hehe, Lan Yuhong sweetly smiled, revealing two charming dimples.

Then, she began to help Xiao Fan change his clothes, resembling a young wife, tidying up his attire.

It was her first time doing this, so she was a bit clumsy.

Xiao Fan also enjoyed it very much. Yes, this kind of young wife-like girl is really great!

Lan Yuhong patiently helped him while saying, "Brother Xiao Fan, I just obtained a wonderful technique from that jade pendant. Do you want to learn it? I can teach you."

Technique? It's probably something recorded in the Holy Jade of the Ice Soul Clan, Xiao Fan thought.

"No need, you should comprehend it well," he replied.

Generally speaking, a technique of a certain race is only suitable for people of that race to cultivate. The more powerful the technique, the more demanding the cultivation conditions, and it may require a special physique.

Moreover, no matter how high this technique's level is, can it surpass the Hell Suppressing Divine Elephant Force? Impossible.

Lan Yuhong didn't say anything more, just obediently said, "Okay."

Looking at the youthful and lively Lan Yuhong, Xiao Fan brushed her green hair that fell in front of her forehead behind her ears and said, "Let's go."

"Okay."

...

"Madam, Young Master has arrived."

In the palace of Xiao Fan's mother, a maid brought her the news.

Mother Xiao woke up from her meditation, her eyes filled with confusion. She understood Xiao Fan's temperament.

He was the typical person who wouldn't bother her unless there was something important. After he turned six, he rarely took the initiative to stick to her or even visit her palace.

There must be something!

"I understand, bring him in."

"Yes."

Mother Xiao took a deep breath, wearing a loving smile, ready to see what Xiao Fan was up to.

Xiao Fan led Lan Yuhong into the hall. Lan Yuhong was a bit nervous, tightly holding Xiao Fan's hand, which made her feel more at ease.

Xiao Fan saw his loving mother and said with a smile, "Mother, this is Yuhong, my newly recognized sister."

"Yuhong, you must get along well with my mother in the future."

Newly recognized sister? What kind of trick is this?

Mother Xiao was puzzled, but when she saw the mark between Lan Yuhong's eyebrows and her initial charm, she was dumbfounded.

As someone who had been through it, she could tell at a glance that Lan Yuhong's mark had already dispersed, and her charm was just beginning to show. This kid had taken advantage of the girl.

She didn't object to Xiao Fan having multiple wives and concubines, but you just got engaged to Lanzhi not long ago, and now you're looking for other women.

At least take care of Lanzhi first!

Lan Yuhong raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, timidly saying, "Greetings, Madam."

Calling her "mother" is really reaching high. Lan Yuhong is very sensible, both in her words and actions.

Originally, Mother Xiao didn't have a good impression of Lan Yuhong. She favored Jiang Lanzhi more. However, Lan Yuhong's natural obedience and understanding of boundaries quickly changed Xiao's mother's opinion.

"Yuhong, tell me, did Xiao Fan force you?" Xiao's mother didn't believe that Xiao Fan could make a woman fall for him in just half a month.

Lan Yuhong whispered, "Xiao Fan didn't force me, it was all voluntary on my part."

Mother Xiao: ???

Impressive, you're good at deceiving young girls.

Mother Xiao asked, "Between him and you, is there...?"

She didn't explicitly say it, but Lan Yuhong understood the implied meaning.

"Please let me explain, it's not Xiao Fan's fault, it was my initiative... to pursue him." Lan Yuhong lowered her head, her face burning hot.

This statement left her dumbfounded.

Ah?

After a while, she regained her composure and smiled, saying, "Well, Yuhong, go out for a while. I have something to discuss with Xiao Fan."

Lan Yuhong turned around, glanced at Xiao Fan, and seeing him nod, obediently left.

After everyone had left, Mother Xiao put on a stern face and coldly said, "Tell me, what kind of love potion did you give that girl?"

"It seems I've been too lenient with you, and you've managed to cause a big mess for me."

Xiao Fan immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness, "Mother, I know I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong?" she asked angrily.

Xiao Fan replied, "Where did I go wrong? If you tell me, I'll admit my mistake."

Mother Xiao: ???

Is this your way of admitting your mistake? She was so angry that she pulled out a green vine, ready to give Xiao Fan a beating.

Xiao Fan quickly stepped forward, holding her hand and smiling, "If you hit me, you'll feel the pain in your heart. Don't get angry."

As he spoke, he casually took the vine from her and threw it aside.

It was the same old routine. Every time, his mother would pretend to be angry but never actually hit him.

Mother Xiao sighed and helplessly said, "I allow you to find women, even if it means having three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. I won't say anything. But can you please consider Lanzhi's feelings?"

"If she finds out that during your engagement, you were indulging with other women, how hurt do you think she'll be?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "If you don't tell her, then it's fine, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mother Xiao felt her vision darken. This rascal was beyond redemption.

"What I mean is, your first woman should be Lanzhi, not Yuhong. It's a matter of principle."

Xiao Fan continued to smile and said, "Who said Yuhong is my first woman?"

Mother Xiao was shocked. Ah?

You've been left unattended for half a year, and now you're running wild, huh?

She took a deep breath and said:

"Who is that woman?"

"Which one?" Xiao Fan replied.

Xiao's mother's eyes went dark, and her whole being seemed frightening to him.

"To be honest, how many are there?" she asked seriously.

"Before Yuhong, there were only two."

Fortunately, only two, barely acceptable.

But Xiao Fan's next words struck her like a thunderbolt.

"One is the Saintess of Supreme Profundities Sacred Land, and the other is the Saintess of Fluctuating Light Sacred Land. Believe me, my judgment is not wrong."

"What! You've even conquered Sacred Land Saintesses? Two of them?"

Xiao Fan said seriously, "Yes, I wouldn't be interested in ordinary women."

Mother Xiao felt her head buzzing. She regretted sending him to the Sacred Land for cultivation. He only thinks about women. She shouldn't have let her son leave home in the first place.

She felt some regret.

"Sigh, you figure it out yourself. I can't bear to look at you anymore," she said angrily.

But Xiao Fan refused. He still hadn't settled Lan Yuhong's arrangements.

He explained Lan Yuhong's background to his mother.

Listening to these introductions, Mother Xiao began to sympathize with Lan Yuhong. It turns out she's had a tough life.

Women are emotional. Listening to Yuhong's life experiences, Mother Xiao's attitude towards her became tinged with pity.

"Tell me, how do you want me to arrange it?" she said grumpily.

"Just arrange it for her, provide her with a good cultivation environment, and let her cultivate well. She's very talented, she'll learn quickly," Xiao Fan affirmed.

"Really, you only come to me when you need something. You never come to see me when there's nothing going on," she said with a stern face.

Xiao Fan chuckled, "No, I have a gift for you."

In the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, he found several dazzling treasures, one of which was a jade hairpin that shone like a star. It was of high quality and was hidden in a box made of phoenix bones.

Xiao Fan took out the jade hairpin and handed it to her.

"Look, I put in a lot of effort to find this."

Mother Xiao thought he was just fooling her and glanced at it casually. But when she saw the jade hairpin, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

But it quickly returned to normal, and even Xiao Fan didn't notice.

"What a beautiful hairpin, where did you get it?" his mother asked curiously.

"A Secret Realm called the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest," Xiao Fan answered truthfully.

"Alright, I will guide Yuhong," she said.

"Agreed, you must take good care of her."

"Get lost, she's my daughter-in-law, if I don't take good care of her, then who will? You've found a partner and forgotten about your mother."

"No, Mother, you are always the most beautiful and important person in my heart."

Hearing this, his mother's face blossomed with a smile. Although she knew it was flattery, she was still happy. No wonder he could win over two Sacred Land Saintesses.

"Truly my son," she said contentedly.

Xiao Fan exchanged a few words with Lan Yuhong, telling her to listen to his mother's words, and then he left.

Lan Yuhong's biggest advantage was being obedient, so she naturally had no objections.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Fan suddenly remembered that his mother didn't have a script on her head.

White, green, red, purple, gold. Even the simplest white script is missing. Strange.

He looked at the people in his clan and found that they all had scripts. Truly strange.

'System, what's the reason? Why doesn't my mother have a script on her head?' Xiao Fan wondered in his heart.

[There are two reasons.]

[First, walking corpses, puppet clones, and similar entities are considered tools and naturally do not have scripts.]

[Second, it is an existence that cannot be named.]

Xiao Fan was stunned. He could feel his mother's genuine love and care for him.

'So what is my mother?'

[The second kind.]

Xiao Fan fell silent. Since his mother had such strong power, why did he still die in a world without a system?

Did his parents die in the secret realm? How powerful could the realm in the mortal realm be?

It was terrifying to think about.

He seemed to have fallen into a chess game, with an invisible hand manipulating the chessboard, while he was just an ordinary chess piece.

'System, will you be noticed?'

[No, except for the host, no one knows about the existence of Lord System.]

Lord System? Really becoming arrogant.

'What about my parents?'

[They are all real. You are their biological child, but you don't know their identities.]

Forget it, even if the sky falls, there is someone to hold it up. This is not something that him, a Nascent Soul little fish, should be thinking about.

Discarding everything useless, Xiao Fan prepared to form a Soul Formation. Dual cultivation would further enhance his strength, and he could prepare for Soul Formation.

On the other side, Xiao Fan's mother glanced at Lan Yuhong and instantly knew her origins.

'The Ice Soul Clan? They're almost dead, and there are still some people struggling to survive.'

'This girl should be the Divine Maiden who was sent down to this realm back then,' she thought to herself.

Forget it, since she is my son's woman, I will lend her a helping hand.

She gently touched Lan Yuhong, and in an instant, Lan Yuhong was stunned, her consciousness plunged into darkness.

Her body became more transparent, and the cold aura became more solid. The inheritance holy jade also accelerated its fusion with her body.

"Senior."

Xinxi came out. Since being taken away by Xiao Fan's mother last time, this was the first time she appeared.

"Well, it seems you have gained a lot."

"It's all thanks to Senior's help," Xinxi said respectfully, without any aura of being the palace master of the Immortal Palace. She seemed more like a junior.

"Who is she?"

"Hehe, she is one of my son's Dao companions."

Xinxi was stunned and speechless. He was still the same old Saint Child.

"Don't think too much. I won't interfere in my son's affairs. If you have the ability to win him over, I fully support it."

"But you also can't interfere with him. You can only listen to him, understand?" Xiao Fan's mother said coldly.

Xinxi smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, I will definitely listen to Saint Child's words."

"Go then."
