I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 877 Haircut Ceremony

"Let's do the math, isn't the eldest thirteen years old this year?"

The night tour brought the team together, and it was Qiao Huai who spoke.

Cao Ji ate a snack and muttered, "I think so?"

"All you ever do is eat," Qiao Huai said.

Cao Ji calmly replied, "I've lost weight."

For a moment, the group was speechless.

Cao Ji has indeed lost weight. Perhaps it's because he's been growing rapidly in recent years, and even though he still eats snacks every day, his physique is constantly shrinking.

Du Xingzhi steered the conversation back on track, "He is indeed thirteen years old."

Seeing his expression, Qiao Huai asked suspiciously, "What did you find out in advance this time?"

Du Xingzhi said, "You could have guessed it if you had used your brains a little, but you just deliberately didn't think about it."

Apart from Cao Ji, who looked completely out of sorts and seemed utterly clueless, the others' expressions changed slightly.

Du Xingzhi pointed to a spot, "Wen Qingpo is here."

They were childhood sweethearts at the same academy, but a sudden change led them down completely different paths.

It's not that Wen Qingpo is inferior to them; on the contrary, the Kaiyun Shipping Company, under Wen Qingpo's control, has spread throughout the continent. Its influence in the mortal world is equivalent to that of the Silver Ring Prefecture in the Brahma Heaven, and may even surpass it.

His growth path was different from Qiao Huai's and the others. He had to constantly interact and communicate with people. Perhaps because of this, he seemed to grow up faster than Qiao Huai and the others. Although he was a teenager, he already had the demeanor and bearing of a young man.

However, he still appeared somewhat taciturn, and after noticing Qiao Huai and the others, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

He sent one gift after another, but no one knew what was inside. The boxes looked like ordinary wooden boxes, and no one used their spiritual sense to investigate.

Afterwards came Mi Yixian and King Yizhen, who came from the capital. They arrived in plain clothes, without any attendants or any grand display to attract attention. Many of the people present did not even recognize their identities.

On this day, an overwhelming number of people from all walks of life came to the Siye Mansion. Those who were usually too busy to be seen were all present. Some had received invitations early in the morning, while many more, like the later-arriving commoners, had received the news halfway through the journey and made a special trip to arrive. They came in an endless stream.

When Mi Feixue, the protagonist of this birthday banquet, finally appeared in front of everyone, everyone finally understood why this birthday was different from the past and why a special banquet was held.

Today, Mi Feixue changed out of her usual black Night Wanderer outfit and wore a red dress.

Her already pale complexion appeared even more flawless under this red dress, like a person sculpted from ice crystal. Her eyebrows and eyes were as sharp and striking as a pencil drawing, and her aura of keeping strangers at bay suppressed the alluring charm of her thick eyelashes. The shadows cast by her eyelashes made her calm eyes even more mysterious and profound, creating a deterrent force that no one dared to underestimate.

The previously noisy places fell silent the moment she appeared. Everyone stared blankly at Mi Feixue, at her dress, her unadorned face, and her delicate hair that was half up and half down her shoulders.

In the past, Mi Feixue always wore her hair in a high ponytail and dressed as a Night Wanderer. When she first came to Beiyuan City to study at the academy, the document she used indicated that she was male. Before the development of sexual characteristics, it is difficult to distinguish between men and women from their appearance. In addition, Mi Feixue never explained or refuted this to outsiders, so everyone subconsciously regarded her as a boy.

Even as time passed, it wasn't that no one in Yongmengxiang discovered that Mi Feixue was a girl. Without Mi Feixue's voluntary explanation, they assumed there was some special taboo involved and remained silent.

Therefore, the general public generally perceived Mi Feixue as a boy. It wasn't until today, when she changed into women's clothes, styled her hair beautifully, and her strikingly beautiful face didn't seem out of place at all, that everyone realized she was actually a girl!
Mi Bayue was already waiting for her in the main hall, and personally performed the coming-of-age ceremony for Mi Feixue.

The coming-of-age ceremony wasn't too complicated. Mi Bayue skipped some of the overly rigid and tedious procedures, simply adding a dress for Mi Feixue and personally putting a hairpin she had made into her hair. In a gentle tone, she said to the girl, who was now almost as tall as her, "Remember? I said that once the situation is more stable, you can do whatever you want, baby." A ripple appeared in Mi Feixue's eyes as she gazed intently at Mi Bayue.

Mi Bayue smiled and couldn't help but pat her head again, her movements gentle so as not to mess up the girl's hairstyle.

Today she has fulfilled her promise. The so-called "anything goes" not only means that Mi Feixue can live with whatever gender identity she wants, but also many, many more things.

The changes brought to Beiyuan City in the past three years seem to be not significant, with stable and peaceful growth. However, looking at the entire mortal continent, and even Lingzhou, it can be described as earth-shaking, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as rapid development.

First, the deployment of humanoid anchor points and the development of underground caves have transformed the entire Canglan Continent in these three years, causing the entire continent to 'fall' into the land of Yin spirits. Night-roaming temples were built in various places, and the faith and protection of certain cooperating Yin gods have given some local people their own unique characteristics, such as the Nanfeng as a predecessor.

Then there's the popularization of spiritual practices and the culture of ghosts and monsters, as well as the cooperation of the Yi Kingdom, which is now the only country in the region, in terms of local management.

From then on, both the people and monsters of the Canglan Continent underwent a rapid transformation.

The development on the Yunmo Continent was also rapid. The Yang Vein Spirit Masters captured from the battlefield were integrated over time. With the investment of a large amount of manpower and material resources, the core foundation of Linghuazhai's weapon array was established. Next, the culture was quickly integrated into the local culture. Finally, the biggest surprise was that the branches of Dianlingxi began to sprout and grow.

Finally, I have to thank Pei Qing for that.

Since discovering that having Pei Qing accompany the cultivation of the Spirit Rhinoceros branch increases the probability of its germination and growth, Pei Qing has become quite popular and busy.

Although the Spiritual Awakening has not yet fully grown and blossomed, its ability to open the mind and stimulate inspiration seems to emanate invisibly. Even though the effect is subtle and almost imperceptible, it truly exists and influences the surrounding environment.

With these dramatic environmental changes, the blessings bestowed upon the people living on this continent are beyond question.

Spiritual particles spontaneously awakening their spiritual abilities sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. With the education of orthodox cultivation academies and the abundance and non-toxicity of spiritual energy, everyone's cultivation speed was faster than the last.

The Nightshade Assassins and Nightblade Riders were officially established in Eternal Dreamland, becoming officially certified teams, not just names they had acquired privately. This greatly excited Emerald Valley and Beast City, who trained with all their might, eager to return to the battlefield and achieve further glory.

Even with two new competitors suddenly appearing, the Night Wanderers dared not relax. Despite having better resources than before, they worked even harder.

Achieving healthy competition.

As a result, this healthy competition progressed step by step, affecting a scope far beyond Yongmeng Township itself.

The people from all the major forces in Lingzhou were practically cursing: You're all so strong! Why are you still being so cunning?!
There's a saying: What's most frightening is when someone who's better than you is also working harder than you.

Those who were fortunate enough to be disciples of Du'e Academy and Miaomiao Mountain in the same year as Mi Bayue, or other geniuses of the same generation as Mi Bayue, suddenly realized something: So Mi Bayue is not an exception, but a tradition of Eternal Dreamland!?

It wasn't that there weren't any spiritual masters who wanted to give up and lie low, choosing to ignore the situation. However, the powerful figures at the top were influenced, becoming envious, jealous, and resentful. Under the intense pressure of participating in multiple defenses against the underground monster tides, exchanging sparring skills, and the rapid catching up of younger generations over the past three years, they became abnormal: "The geniuses of Eternal Dreamland can work so hard, and we Celestial Venerables can't sit still either, going back and forth between life and death in the monster tides. Why aren't you, who are so trash, working hard? Cultivate! All of you, cultivate to the death!"
When the powerful figures gave their orders, the disciples dared not disobey.

Thus began a frenzy of cultivation advancement.

Many spiritualists believed the tense atmosphere was due to an impending major battle.

Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, the truce lasted for a full three years.

August and Flying Snow promised in Chapter 27

(Actually, she already had enough power to act under any identity, but Feixue herself didn't care and didn't deliberately hide it. Today is a special day.)
