Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

59. The Chiang family

In the end, Ye Yuchan trailed Lin Yuan by a "subtle" margin of 300 game coins, compared to Lin Yuan's 334 coins. Yes, our Yuchan girl finally managed to complete a certain game at the Rotary Street amusement park after going through many hardships.

That project was still a roller coaster—

Imagine sitting around countless hideous demons, their murderous aura suggesting they might rip your head off at any moment, riding a rusty, dilapidated roller coaster on a mountain range – what an exhilarating experience that would be!

...What kind of excitement is this?!

Ye Yuchan was seeing a roller coaster for the first time that started at full speed and plummeted vertically from hundreds of meters in the air! This wasn't a roller coaster, it was a drop tower!

If that were all, it wouldn't have made Ye Yuchan's legs go weak, or even forced her to jump out of the car.

There was nothing she could do; she didn't know why the roller coaster suddenly darted into the mouth of a massive, mountain-like demon halfway through its journey. Its sharp teeth instantly pierced the hearts of several demons who hadn't had time to react.

That's not all. The terrifying, unidentified monster also secretes a highly corrosive viscous liquid from its tail. If you get even a little bit on it, the game coins will gush out like water. It can even corrode the roller coaster itself. If you're not careful, you might fall into the acidic pool full of the secretion.

Ye Yuchan had no desire to experience that.

Fortunately, our Yu Chan's dodging talent is unparalleled. After several brilliant dodges, the roller coaster finally opened a hole in the demon's belly—or rather, the huge hole itself existed, as if telling Ye Yu Chan that the demon was actually part of the roller coaster.

What happened next was rather simple: the hillside collapsed halfway down the road, a mudslide exploded instantly, and countless spinning blades flew from all directions like a rain of pear blossoms towards the roller coaster.

Finally, as they approached the finish line, Ye Yuchan discovered a dark cliff ahead. Without thinking, she jumped off the ride. She then witnessed some demons who couldn't escape in time plummet into the endless abyss along with the battered roller coaster.

So she became the only survivor of the roller coaster ride and received a reward of fifteen game coins.

—Hmm, only fifteen.

She's not even a fraction as good as the new junior sister of a certain Fruit Ninja!

Oh, by the way—

Fan Luo Kui broke the Fruit Ninja record by slashing over 6,500 fruits. This record was not because Fan Luo Kui ran out of spiritual energy to continue using the sword technique, but because all the fruit in the shop had been slashed.

Therefore, Fan Luokui received 650 game coins, ranking first.

Zhang Ruoxue was addicted to the shoot-'em-up action game and won MVP twice. With some extra cash from kills, she earned more than 500 game coins, ranking second.

Lin Yuan earned 334 game coins with the song "Good Luck". Coincidentally, the number of game coins she had was the same as that of a cross-dressing man who used his "beauty" to exchange for arrows to play a shooting game.

In other words—

"Am I the only one who has to accept punishment?!"

The girl in the maid outfit felt the world's deep malice towards her.

The old rogue, suppressing a laugh, looked at Ye Yuchan, whose eyes were wide open as if she had lost faith in life, and stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's just such a coincidence that Xiao Jiang and Yuan'er are in the same rank, so they're tied for third place, while you're undoubtedly last."

Upon hearing Yunping's words, Lin Yuan and Jiang Yuetian, who had been worried about being punished, breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they looked up at the aggrieved Ye Yuchan with apologetic eyes.

—I'm so sorry, Junior Sister Yu Chan, you've suffered!

Seeing the girl's astonished and seemingly collapsing expression, Yunping shrugged and looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry, although it's called a punishment, the main purpose of this trip is to help you relax. There won't be any excessive punishment."

"Really?" Ye Yuchan stared at the old rogue warily. She didn't believe he would be so kind. "Are you sure you're not trying to scam me?"

"When have I ever wronged you?"

"That time at the Seven Dream Tree, that time I met Ruoxue, that time fighting the Dragon Spirit in the Far East Snowfield... how many times have you tricked me already!"

Yunping hissed and gasped. Thinking about it, he realized that he had indeed tricked the naive Xiaoyuchan many times.

However, this time he really didn't intend to seriously punish Ye Yuchan. Just as Yunping said, his purpose in coming to Lunzhuan Street was simply to allow the disciples who had recently experienced many events to relax as they deserved.

Examples include Ye Yuchan, who almost caused the Abyss Ice to go berserk after the Little Monk incident in the underground martial arts arena, as well as Zhang Ruoxue and Fan Luokui, who have been thinking about Zhang Xiaohan ever since the Jingyuan Village incident.

If Yunping didn't find something to distract them, he worried that they might develop mental problems in the future, and mental state is of utmost importance to cultivators.

That being said, judging from Ye Yuchan's devastated expression, it seems like she's the only one here who's not having a good gaming experience...

"Alright, I'm serious this time. I won't give you a severe punishment. Strictly speaking, it's just a request, right?"

Ye Yuchan blinked curiously, "What are the requirements?"

Yunping held up one finger and shook it twice in front of Xiaoyuchan.

"Be my personal maid for a month~"

……

"A...exclusive maid?!"

Ye Yuchan blushed and quickly took a few steps back, shrinking to Zhang Ruoxue's side. She covered her chest with both hands, glaring at Yun Ping with embarrassment and anger, "You...you old scoundrel, you've finally...ugh! You've finally set your sights on me?!"

Yunping's lips twitched, his expression complicated: "She's just a maid, what are you thinking? She won't be serving you in bed, what are you afraid of?"

"What?! Can a maid be considered a maid if she doesn't serve the emperor?!"

……

Faced with Ye Yuchan's earth-shattering and awe-inspiring speech, Yun Ping's face darkened.

"Yu Chan, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about maids?"

"Anyway, you're definitely going to play some kind of master-maid game, right... You're making me wear this outfit so you can do this or that, aren't you!"

"Could you stop thinking such filthy thoughts for a moment, Pong friend?"

……

In short, after Yunping assured Ye Yuchan that he would never lay a hand on her, he finalized the punishment, despite the latter's inexplicably unhappy expression.

Within a month, Ye Yuchan will become Yunping's personal maid, taking care of the old rogue's daily life.

To some extent, this also brought the two of them closer. Similarly, it made it easier for Yunping to further suppress the Abyss Fear Ice within Ye Yuchan's body, and also allowed Xiao Yuchan to serve him tea and water, which was a nice little errand boy.

In fact, suppressing the Abyss Fear Ice was Yun Ping's original intention. If he didn't find an opportunity to keep Ye Yu Chan by his side, it would be too late if she caused any more trouble.

After that, the group left Lunzhuan Street, escaped the space shrouded by the blood moon, and returned to Jinglin City.

It is worth noting that after the group played around in the Rotating Street for a long time, nothing changed when they came out. The sky was still noon, as if everything that happened in the Rotating Street was just a fleeting illusion.

"Phew~ Finally out~"

Yunping stretched lazily, feeling a bit tired after being outside for a while.

The old rogue craved comfort. If he could, he would like to lie in the sun every day, watching his disciples cultivate, and chatting with them—that was the life he wanted.

After thinking about it, Yunping realized that going back at this time would allow him to take a nap in a rocking chair. He pondered for a while, and after confirming that nothing had been overlooked, he waved his hand, signaling that everyone could head back to their courtyard to rest.

Of course, the most tired one was Xiaoyuchan. While everyone else had relaxed to some extent, she was the only one who was constantly startled and jumping around. She suffered a huge blow to both her body and mind. After this trip, she was exhausted and her whole body was weak when she walked.

however--

Before she could return to the courtyard and enjoy a nice afternoon nap in her most comfortable bed, everyone stopped in their tracks because of the figure standing in front of the academy gate.

--woman.

She stood in front of the courtyard gate, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Wearing a simple and elegant long dress, with a jade-colored pendant at her waist and wooden boots, her emerald green hair was styled in an updo, and a golden hairpin shimmered softly in the sunlight. Her back was straight, and her posture was like that of a pine tree, exuding an arrogant and domineering aura.

Ye Yuchan stared blankly at the figure blocking her path to her nap, her eyes slightly narrowed—she didn't recognize this person, and judging from the expressions of Zhang Ruoxue, Fan Luokui, and Senior Sister Yuan'er, they were also unfamiliar with this woman with an extraordinary aura.

Could it be another one of Yunping's old flames?

"Ok?"

The woman seemed to sense the presence of others behind her, so she turned around, presenting her flawless face, which was the envy of everyone, to Yun Ping and the others, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Yunping looked at her in confusion. He didn't recognize this woman, nor was she any of his old flames, and he had no idea why she had come.

But as the dean of Yuntian Academy, Yun Ping naturally stepped forward, his expression inevitably somewhat solemn.

"May I ask, miss, who are you waiting for here?"

"Yes." The other person's voice was light and clear, pleasant yet slightly steady. "I'm here to find someone. I'm looking for someone from Yuntian Academy."

"Oh?" Yunping looked at the somewhat familiar face with a puzzled expression. "Whom are you looking for, Miss?"

“I’m here to find the students here. I think you all should recognize him.”

"His surname is Jiang—"

The woman raised her head, her cold gaze piercing through the human wall formed by Yun Ping and the others, reaching the very back, where a figure with his head down seemed to want to avoid attracting attention.

"His name is Jiang Yuetian."

It was at this moment that Ye Yuchan and the others realized that the woman in front of them, with her delicate nose, jade mouth, willow-leaf eyebrows, and starry eyes, had a dignified appearance that bore a striking resemblance to their senior brother!

This is... Senior Brother Jiang's parents have come knocking on our door?!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Xiao Jiang's storyline is about to begin.

I haven't been feeling well lately... I don't know why.

60. Confrontation

The Chiang family.

The Extreme Heaven Domain is different from the Desolate Heaven Domain. The forces gathered in the Desolate Heaven Domain are mostly named after empires. The Lantian Empire, as the strongest and most extensive empire in the Desolate Heaven Domain, naturally has countless vassal states. Because of this, the number of empires not under the Lantian Empire's control is pitifully small, and they are basically scattered in some remote corners of the Desolate Heaven Domain.

It could even be said that there is only one empire in the Desolate Sky Domain—and most people would not object to such a statement if it were presented to the world.

The realms of existence are different.

Unlike the Desolate Heaven Domain, the Extreme Heaven Domain has a different system. The powerful forces that have risen together are all named after families. The Gong family, which once caused a stir in Jinglin City, is a family from the Extreme Heaven Domain.

Families in the Extreme Heaven Domain have their own set of standards for judgment. For example, the elders of the Gong family's branch halls are at least at the Transformation God stage, which makes them a Dark-level family in the Extreme Heaven Domain. Although their overall strength is not as strong as that of the Lantian Empire or the Northern Ice Palace, it is still comparable to the strength of some of the Lantian Empire's vassal states.

Wei, Xiu, An, Tian.

It is not surprising that the Gong family, located at the top of the family hierarchy pyramid, possesses such power.

Above the Dark-level families lies the Heaven-level.

The Heavenly-level families in the Extreme Heaven Domain are equivalent to giants like the Lantian Empire, the Northern Ice Palace, and the Blackwater Abyss, with at least Void Realm or even Saint-level experts in charge. There are six such giant families in the Extreme Heaven Domain.

The existence known as the Six Extremes—

The Chiang family was one of the six powerful families.
