The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 26 - Mother Im Having Some Regrets

“That I wasn’t nicer to Song Baobao while she was at home,” Xie Jiuniang said earnestly.

Mo Lan felt a surge of relief in her heart, thinking how sensible and sweet her daughter was.

Xie Jiuniang then lamented deeply, “If I had known she was rich but naive, why didn’t I take advantage of the opportunity? Just for not giving her face, she gave me a discount Token. If I had been nicer, wouldn’t she have given me something even better? Maybe she would’ve even gifted me a grand Flying Boat to play with. Alas, it’s all gone now, such heartache…”

Mo Lan was dumbfounded.

What on earth was her daughter saying?

Was this something a person should do?

When Xie Jiuniang saw the shocked look on her mother’s face, her heart skipped a beat.

No good, can’t let go of the image of the good daughter!

Xie Jiuniang handed the Token to Mo Lan and with a serious expression said, “Mother, I was just making a joke. Your daughter isn’t that kind of person. You should keep the Token for now. I’m going to the Sect for cultivation and won’t need it for the time being.”

Mo Lan tried to decline, “Baobao said it was for you, you should keep it. Your father and I won’t use it; we can ask you for it if we ever need it.”

Xie Jiuniang obediently nodded and tucked the Token into her Storage Bag.

“Jiujiu, your hand… the…” Mo Lan inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Contract Totem on her daughter’s hand.

Xie Jiuniang smiled, “It’s just a little opportunity I came across, mother. You don’t need to worry.”

She then wrapped a small piece of cloth around her right hand, concealing the Divine Pattern on the back of her hand.

When the chance arose, she’d craft a set of guards for her wrists and the back of her hands. Otherwise, if someone who knew their worth saw the Contract Totem, it might cause trouble.

Just then, someone came in from outside.

Xie Shen entered first, followed by Xie Siniang.

The sisters, who hadn’t seen each other for half a year, were thrilled and held hands as they went back to their room for a private chat.

As Xie Siniang looked around the room, she commented, “Xiaojiu, are you trying to emulate an ascetic Cultivator? The room is so bare, there’s nothing here.”

What the heck, ascetic Cultivator?

It’s all Broken Sword’s fault!

Xie Jiuniang had no intention of confessing this, so imitating her father’s tone, she bluffed, “It’s only a temporary place to stay, why bother to decorate? We Cultivators only need a place to sit in meditation and that’s all.”

As she spoke, she waved her hand.

Two meditation cushions and a low white jade tea table with a matching tea set appeared on the clean floor.

She had found these items in someone’s Storage Bag during a raid, and, seeing that they were pretty decent, Xie Jiuniang had kept them.

Xie Jiuniang brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea, “Sister, didn’t you say you wanted to stay with the clan before? Why did you change your mind?”

In her past life, Xie Siniang had indeed chosen to stay with the family and later married the cousin who was a notorious ladies’ man.

Xie Siniang drained the cup of Spiritual Tea in one gulp, “That was all thanks to you for helping me change my mind.”

Then, Xie Siniang released a wisp of her aura, revealing her Qi Cultivation of the fifth level, “If I were still at the fourth level, I wouldn’t have come. Suddenly, I felt a little unwilling to settle; I at least wanted to join the Sect and try my luck. Maybe I’ll find a great opportunity. I want to ascend; I want to become an immortal too!”

Great aspirations!

Xie Jiuniang gave her a thumbs up.

Offspring from the family all dream of taking a shot at the path to immortality. But aspiration alone is not enough; one also needs the courage to face dangers and the fearlessness to confront death.

Compared to the slow and steady cultivation in the family, big opportunities are scarce, but the safety is much more assured.

Xie Jiujiu’s kind deed inadvertently led her fourth sister onto a different path in life compared to her previous one. So, the non-human she was married to in her former life… should probably not happen again.

Xie Jiujiu was happy in her heart, “Fourth Sister, come, let’s have a drink to celebrate.”

“There’s no wine, only tea.”

“I have some, I have some!”

Xie Jiujiu took out a jar of Spiritual Wine she had hidden away when her parents weren’t looking and opened it.

Then she took out two large bowls.

A bowl of wine for each person.

Xie Jiujiu, with a bowl of wine in hand, declared valiantly, “Fourth Sister, cheers!”

She drank it all in one gulp!

Then, she fell down…

Xie Shenniang was startled and hastily went to call others.

Xie Shen and Mo Lan rushed in, saw their daughter with rosy cheeks, sound asleep, and couldn’t help but feel amused yet annoyed.

After inspecting the wine on the table, Xie Shen said, “It’s fine, just ordinary low-grade Spiritual Wine, which shouldn’t intoxicate. It’s probably because it’s our daughter’s first time drinking, and she drank too much at once.”

Mo Lan pinched her daughter’s cheek, vexed, “So young and already daring to drink in secret? Wait until you wake up, then I’ll teach you a lesson.”

Mo Lan wanted to carry her to bed.

Only then did she notice a major issue, where’s her daughter’s bed?

Xie Shen looked around and laughed, “My lady, carry our daughter to your bed to sleep for a while.”

“Alright, that’s the only option,” said Mo Lan as she picked up her daughter.

Xie Shen then looked at his well-behaved niece, who looked like a quail, “You’re still young, it’s not suitable for you to drink. I’ll keep this wine for you for now.”

He thought the wine was brought by his niece and also believed she was the one who let his daughter drink.

His own daughter was so well-behaved and obedient, and in half a year had never drunk stealthily. It was after his niece’s arrival that his daughter started drinking…

The moment Xie Shenniang saw her uncle’s gaze, she knew he had misunderstood.

But there’s no way to argue…

How unjust… This pitfall set by Xiaojiu!

When Xie Jiujiu woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

When she realized what she had done, Xie Jiujiu really wanted to facepalm. She had completely forgotten she was only twelve years old and had never touched alcohol before.

Now…

The secret of her hidden wine was out!

Xie Jiujiu flipped out of bed, immediately noticed she was in her mother’s room, quickly got dressed, and walked out.

Just as she stepped out, she ran into Xie Shenniang’s resentful gaze, who said sarcastically, “Xiaojiu, you’re awake, huh? Have a headache?”

“Nope, how are you, Fourth Sister?” Xie Jiujiu nervously chuckled.

“Not good, not good at all. It’s my bad luck for being blamed for someone else’s misdeeds as soon as I arrive.”

“This…”

Xie Jiujiu swiftly pulled her away.

After chatting, she learned that her father mistook the wine for something her fourth sister brought, which made her secretly delighted, and she promised to take her fourth sister out to have fun in the afternoon and give her a gift as an apology.

The sisters were quick to act.

Xie Jiujiu informed her parents and took Xie Shenniang out with her.

They walked and looked around.

They browsed through one shop after another but didn’t buy anything.

Xie Shenniang couldn’t help but feel suspicious, “Xiaojiu, what is it you want to give me when you find fault with everything?”

Xie Jiujiu felt awkward.

Was it that she didn’t want to give a present?

No, it was only once she was out that she remembered she didn’t have a single Spirit Stone on her!
