[7723 Legend of the Three Realms] Chapter 001: Fairy Bathing (Moonlight Edition)

It's been a long time since I joked about the friends in the Seven Altars. I still remember the super sleazy novels Moonlight used to write. Thinking back to them now, I still feel quite nostalgic.\ Adapted from my previous novel, hehe \-------\ True Wonderland – Guardian Formation Platform\ “Rumble—rumble—”\ “Rumble—rumble—”\ The entire formation platform began to sway slightly. Although not too violently, the low, booming roar was as piercing as demonic music, lingering unpleasantly.\ Thick spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounded the platform, and the mysterious talismans exuded a profound sense of antiquity, glowing with black light atop the platform.\ By the edge of the platform, a middle-aged man wearing a dark brown cloak frowned deeply. With his hands clasped behind his back, he stood silently, staring at the weathered talismans and listening to the thunderous rumbles.\ After a long time.\ “Sigh—”\ A sigh full of helplessness quietly echoed, lingering by the platform for a long while. The middle-aged man smiled faintly in a self-deprecating way and straightened his posture a little more.\ “Whoosh—”\ “Whoosh—”\ “Whoosh—”\ “Whoosh—”\ Four cutting-through-the-air sounds arose as four figures appeared in the fourth of the twelve formation points on the platform.\ One carried concern mixed with sharpness;\ One carried impatience mixed with hostility;\ One carried calmness with lightness;\ One carried indifference with solidity.\ “Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, you have come…” The middle-aged man looked at the four figures who were using spells to suppress the mixed energies in the formation points and spoke calmly.\ “The vibrations are becoming more frequent,” the Azure Dragon said worriedly, glancing at the middle-aged man before returning his gaze to the platform, speaking solemnly.\ “When all twelve Celestial Beasts are gathered around the Guardian Platform, will it really be able to completely suppress the extraterritorial demons?” The middle-aged man seemed to be speaking to himself, yet his eyes never left the four figures.\ A flash of hostility crossed the White Tiger's brow as he said angrily, “Once the other old monsters arrive at the platform, let's see if those extraterritorial demons still dare to be arrogant. I'll be the first to chop them down!”\ The Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise watched the platform intently, then waved a spiritual whip-like weapon, and the corners of their mouths lifted slightly.\ “Perhaps, it's time to go find them…” The middle-aged man looked up at the void, his pupils gradually losing focus.\ Soon, the vibrations of the Guardian Platform ceased, and the atmosphere slowly returned to its previous tranquility.\ “It's time to let Ling Xuan walk through the mortal and earth cultivation realms.”A middle-aged man looked at the Four Divine Beasts one by one to bid farewell, and his figure began to fade away. The Azure Dragon and the others exchanged glances, seeing worry in each other's eyes, and then they too disappeared from the formation platform...

True Immortal Realm – Spirit Viewing Platform

"Ling Xuan, I have something good for you to see today. Interested?" A young man with a body full of explosive muscles put his arm around Ling Xuan's shoulder and asked with a lecherous grin.

"Yueguang, what's the good thing?"

Compared to Yueguang's incredibly muscular body, Ling Xuan's physique was hardly impressive.

Yueguang looked at Ling Xuan with disdain and said disapprovingly, "Just say whether you want to see it or not. Why ask?"

"Uh... I want to."

Ling Xuan said helplessly.

"Hehe, come on, follow me quickly. If we're late, you won't get to see it." Yueguang said, grinning mischievously as he pulled Ling Xuan straight toward the Spirit Viewing Platform.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? What are we going to do at the Spirit Viewing Platform?"

"I'm risking my life here! If you want to see something good, don't ask so many questions! Otherwise, I'm not taking you!"

"..."

Yueguang was notorious in the True Immortal Realm as a hooligan and rogue. He had taken Ling Xuan to sneak 'Drunken God's Unkillable Wine,' and been beaten by the Wine God; they had stolen the Eight Directions Map from the Celestial Marquess' grandson, and been scolded by the Marquess; he had even touched the Holy Ape's butt, narrowly escaping being clawed.

Every time Yueguang said there was something good to see, it was always things like this. Ling Xuan was very speechless. Yet, it became his only entertainment in the otherwise boring life in the True Immortal Realm. In fact, this guy Yueguang, though he appeared lecherous, was really just that—lecherous, but not inherently evil. Otherwise, after every incident, it wouldn't have been just a matter of getting beaten black and blue with leg cramps.

True Immortal Realm – Spirit Viewing Platform

Running wildly, Yueguang seemed extremely excited; Ling Xuan could see his shaking shoulders and hands.

"Bang!"

He kicked open the door of the Spirit Viewing Hall and charged straight to the innermost part. As luck would have it, the old man of the Spirit Viewing and the others were not there... hehe.

Yueguang felt secretly pleased.

Yueguang led him in front of the Spirit Viewing Crystal, and only then did Ling Xuan stop, panting.

"What is this for?"

Yueguang, unusually acting this secretive, successfully piqued Ling Xuan's curiosity.

"Hehe, just watch.""Moonlight rubbed his hands together with a mischievous grin, closed his eyes, and gently placed his hands on the spirit crystal.\ 'It was so hard to borrow this treasure from that old man of the spirit realm to see those wonderful things,' Moonlight opened his eyes, turned his head, and said angrily to Ling Xuan, 'I promised that old man I'd clean the Spirit Hall for three months, completely! How are you going to repay me?'\ 'Uh, well... it depends on how good the things you show me are,' Ling Xuan forced a smile and said.\ 'Good,' Moonlight's excitement grew even more on his face, and he grinned, 'You better remember what you just said, haha.'\ Ling Xuan watched from the side, and the more he looked, the more Moonlight's smile seemed incredibly... lewd. A sense of dread suddenly appeared.\ Moonlight's expression turned serious, and he lowered his voice, shouting, 'Alright, watch!'\ The spirit crystal emitted several streaks of aqua-blue light, intertwining in the void before the two of them to form a screen. Faint figures appeared on it, and the delicate cries of a woman could be vaguely heard.\ 'Th-this...'\ When the screen became completely clear, Ling Xuan's face instantly turned bright red, as if it could bleed, and he couldn't even speak, as if a giant dumpling were stuck in his throat.\ Following Moonlight's infatuated gaze, the screen unmistakably showed a scene of a fairy bathing!\ 'Damn!'\ Ling Xuan swore for the first time in his life, cursing harshly, and turned away, his face burning red.\ Such an alluring scene would make any man glance a few extra times, and Ling Xuan was no exception. But why didn't he dare look? Because in the scene was the cold and ethereal face of the cold sword fairy!\ She was famous in the fairy realm for her icy beauty. Anyone who got involved with her would get no mercy, even the supreme fairy emperor was no exception!\ If she knew he was hiding there watching her bathe, not even his father could save him…\ 'Moonlight! You've really gone too far this time!' Ling Xuan glared angrily at Moonlight, who was drooling like a river, shouting.\ That guy Moonlight was already fixated, not caring about the consequences at all — he just wanted to enjoy himself, no matter what. After all, he wouldn't actually get himself chopped up, so why fear anything!\ Seeing Moonlight with such a 'like a dead pig, unafraid of boiling water' expression made Ling Xuan gnash his teeth in rage."You're enjoying yourself, but I still have to suffer with you!

"Ling Xuan, aren't you going to take a look at such a good opportunity? There really won't be another chance later," Yue Guang tried hard to tempt Ling Xuan. "Damn, look at that curvy figure, the flowing hair—if I could just touch it a few times, ah, I would have no regrets in this life!"

As he spoke, stars appeared in his eyes, and saliva had already conquered his chest, fiercely advancing onward.

Ling Xuan glared at Yue Guang with a look of strong disdain. Although his heart was greatly stirred, even making little Ling Xuan react a bit, he absolutely refused to turn around.

It would have been fine if no one saw, but if they really did, it would truly be over. Ling Xuan wasn't naïve enough to think that no one could discover what the two of them were doing.

"Cough, cough…"

An untimely dry cough sounded. When Ling Xuan came to his senses, he was already in the familiar Zhenxian Hall. Raising his gaze, he met the meaningful eyes of the old man.

"O-Old man?"

Feeling guilty, Ling Xuan averted his eyes and absentmindedly and pretentiously looked around the hall.

The person Ling Xuan called the old man looked only middle-aged. He resembled Ling Xuan somewhat and wore a dark brown cloak.

"Hehe…"

Two eerie laughs echoed softly in the hall, making Ling Xuan shiver. This… didn't seem friendly.

"My little Xuan has grown up. Just at the age of blood and energy, doing such things, as a father, I can still understand…"

Ling Xuan's father, Ling Xuan, was the supreme being of the immortal realm—the Immortal Emperor. Yet at this moment, he looked ambiguously at the shy Ling Xuan. If other immortals witnessed this very troublesome expression, who knew how many jaws would be broken, how much floor would be smashed—what a sin!

Having had his secret detected, Ling Xuan stopped pretending and stared directly at Ling Xuan, loudly saying, "Well… if you have something to say, just say it. Don't smile at me with that lustful expression."

From his tone, he still lacked some confidence.

Ling Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Cough, my little Xuan is no longer a child, having just passed the coming-of-age ritual. Well then, it's time to show what you, as a father, have to offer. I want to hold a grandson soon."

After saying this, Ling Xuan looked at Ling Xuan mischievously.Ling Xuan's expression kept changing, and he inwardly grumbled about Ling Xuan, finally showing impatience and said, "Just say what it is, I don't want to waste my breath."

"Whoosh—"

Ling Xuan flipped his palm and caught the two letters that Ling Xuan had sent over. Before Ling Xuan could ask, Ling Xuan seriously said, "Now, your father orders you to go to the Mortal Realm and the Earth Cultivation Realm, and deliver these two letters to Fan Chenzi of the Mortal Realm and Luosha of the Earth Cultivation Realm respectively. Of course, the two letters are the same, so there is no particular order. But, hehe, when you go to the other two realms, the most important purpose is to find your other half."

Ling Xuan deliberately emphasized the words "most important" and continued, "You're not young anymore and still don't understand what love truly is. Aren't you embarrassed to be so clueless? After you go down, find a good daughter-in-law for your father, so that your late mother's efforts are not in vain..."

At this point, a faint sadness and longing appeared on Ling Xuan's face. Perhaps because he mentioned Ling Xuan's mother, his expression became even more serious: "Love is not about quantity but quality. Although I don't oppose you being widely loving, it's best to have one true love, that's enough."

Ling Xuan fell silent. He truly did not understand much about love; in the Immortal Realm, a place detached from the mortal world, it was indeed somewhat far-fetched to try to comprehend love.

Perhaps he could understand it better in the Mortal Realm, Ling Xuan thought silently to himself.

"Prepare yourself, your father will send you down to the mortal world."

"You can send me down now..." Ling Xuan immediately followed with his words.

"Hehe, indeed, if the Cold Sword Immortal knew, your father wouldn't even be able to handle it." A trace of a smile appeared in Ling Xuan's eyes. With a wave of his large hand, Ling Xuan's figure instantly disappeared from the great hall.

"When the time comes, your father will let you return to the Immortal Realm. Remember, love is not about quantity but quality..."

Ling Xuan, traveling through space, heard Ling Xuan's worried instructions.

"Moonlight, you better take care of yourself, forgive me..." A sly smile spread across Ling Xuan's face.
