Chapter 142 I'm Not a Little Tiger
Xue Tong felt that the Heavenly Dao of the Yuanming Realm had been subdued by Xue Lan to the point of being powerless. Xue Tong told Him the two reasons Xue Lan had given, and the high and mighty god simply gave a shallow "hmm".
He wasn't even willing to send out a few token lightning strikes; he looked sickly.
When they returned to Yu Niang's courtyard, Xue Lan had already finished making the golden crown. The pure gold crown reflected the sunlight in Xue Lan's hands, looking incredibly dazzling.
Noticing Xue Tong's somewhat infatuated gaze, Xue Lan asked, "Do you like it?"
Xue Tong nodded quickly: "I like all kinds of gold!"
"But gold is too soft and does not match the loyalty of this Xie Zhi."
"You keep saying these things today. Is what you're about to do related to this headdress?"
Xue Lan nodded slowly.
"If Xie Lingchao were to become the empress of the Great Shun Dynasty, the entire court would probably have to be replaced."
Xue Tong was stunned by her abrupt and unrelated statement: "[I'm not your living father. I just submitted the reasons to you, and you immediately want to massacre the court?]"
Xue Lan pointed at her: "Don't call me 'Living Father'! And stop reading those romance novels!"
If she were to intervene and cause a bloodbath in the court, why not cast a curse on all the officials of the Great Shun Dynasty, thus directly controlling the Great Shun and turning them into puppets!
Xue Tong went along with her: "Alright, alright, I was being shallow. Please speak, Your Majesty."
Xue Lan smiled and said, "The reason why Xie Lingchao couldn't become the Empress of the Great Shun Dynasty in the original story was because of those who opposed her in the court."
"Let's try to change their minds first. If they still can't understand, then we'll think of another way!"
Upon hearing the words "another way," Xue Tong felt a sudden chill run down her spine. After much thought, she realized that the Wolf King's "other way" was probably something like, "If Your Excellency doesn't understand the law, I also know a little about swordsmanship."
"Did you seize power in the same way when you were the leader of the wolf clan?" Xue Tong asked tentatively.
Xue Lan shook her head: "No!"
"More gentle than this?" Xue Tong asked hopefully.
Xue Lan tapped her fingers lightly on the table: "When I was the leader of the Wolf Clan, there wasn't a wolf as stubborn as this in the entire Wolf Clan!"
Not only were there no headstrong wolves, but not even a single squeak could be heard from Xue Lan. At the time, she resided in the Ice Flower Pool, the innermost part of the Northern Region River. Apart from a few trusted juniors and her lord, no one dared to venture in and cause her any trouble!
Whenever Xue Lan thought of Binghua Pool, she remembered the words spoken by the Silky Sword Master of Jiyue Mountain before his death.
The Ice Lotus is about to bloom! Lian Chuan should go back too! Otherwise, he won't be able to form his core.
Xue Tong asked, "So, does that mean no one wants to talk to you? Are you very lonely?"
Xue Lan thought for a moment and said, "No, I have Jin Guang and a few friends I can drink with, but I can't remember some of them."
The girl had a gentle smile on her face.
"There's also a stubborn tiger who always comes to Binghua Pool to find me."
Xue Tong's gossip-loving spirit is burning: 【Is it someone you like?】
Xue Lan shook her head: "It's just a little tiger that hasn't taken human form yet..."
“Jing Tonghu was considered a child before he turned eighteen. He was generally not very bright and had been looting and vandalizing in Binghua Pool for many years.”
"What happened next?" Xue Tong asked, somewhat curious.
"After that, he transformed into human form at the age of eighteen. His elders took him back and beat him, and then he never came back!"
Xue Lan rubbed her head; whenever she thought about these things from her past life, her head would throb.
"Of course! Imagine if you raised a child, and when the child was a bit silly, you told them you had a good playmate and went to their place to play every day." Xue Tong explained to Xue Lan:
You always thought your child had found a cute playmate, until you went to check on them and discovered they had befriended a notorious wolf.
Xue Lan retorted, "But he's a tiger!"
Xue Tong retorted: "You're a wolf more terrifying than a tiger! He's a useless tiger!"
Xue Lan sighed. She couldn't remember much of the past, but the scene of the child being taken away by the elders of the clan was very clear in her memory.
A man dressed in magnificent black and yellow robes stood before her, speaking sincerely, saying that the younger generation in her family had been impolite and disturbed her meditation. He said he would never let the little one come again.
The sky was somewhat dark that day, with dark clouds covering the Ice Flower Pool. In the very center of the vortex was a patch of azure sky, like the icy blue eyes of the wolf lord—majestic, clear, and inviolable.
The people in the clan knew that the eldest prince was unhappy again, but they didn't know why Xue Lan was unhappy.
They could only be filled with trepidation. They treated Xue Lan as if she were a deity. The majesty of the Wolf Clan's chieftain was inviolable, like the eternally unyielding icebergs surrounding the Ice Flower Pool!
"Xue Tong!" Xue Lan suddenly called out Xue Tong's name, her voice somewhat low.
Xue Tong instinctively asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Lan asked her, "Is your mind sharp right now?"
Xue Tong was a little angry: "Do you know how rude you're being?"
"So you're smart, huh?" Xue Lan said with a smile, her expression very serious. "If one day, let's say, the main system stops you from talking to me and beats you up, would you leave?"
Xue Tong was momentarily stunned. Her data link was spinning rapidly, and it took her several breaths before she could utter a single sentence.
She said, "I'm not a little tiger!"
Xue Lan smiled with relief.
Hopefully she's not a little tiger.
That concludes this topic. Xue Lan started a new conversation.
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you and I will go to the City God Temple in Beijing to visit the City God."
【why? 】
"I want to find my master, but my divination skills are not good enough. I wonder if I can ask the City God to adjust my master's life record."
Xue Tong asked Xue Lan: "Let's imagine that you found his living records, but they show that he has already... what would you do?"
Xue Lan smiled, a very eerie smile: "Back then, I studied a wide variety of things. Besides the demonic arts I cultivated, I also liked to read all sorts of miscellaneous books."
"Among them are the soul-capturing techniques of ancient evil cultivators. If my master had died before me, I would have captured his soul and kept it by my side as an ornament!"
"You're so cruel to your master!" Xue Tong exclaimed.
Xue Lan nodded: "Likewise!"
There was a knock at the door; it was Yu Niang returning.
Xue Lan stood up from the table and tucked the entire table into her sleeve.
Yu Niang walked in from outside and saw Xue Lan smiling sweetly. She also noticed a small hammer lying on the ground at Xue Lan's feet.
"Everything has fallen!" Yu Niang bent down to pick up the hammer, but Xue Lan, who was squatting down, pressed her hand down.
The girl smiled gently and said, "Sister, I'll do it."
The girl smiled, picked up the hammer, and went back into the house, leaning on her wooden stick.
