Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1200: Chapter 1180: Heart’s Wish

...So my proper coming-of-age at eighteen turned into twenty?

Qhianqhian looked incredulous, but soon she smiled playfully at Tang Tianyi: ”You’re not of age yet, huh?”

Tang Tianyi’s face stiffened, yet he couldn’t refute it; but how did Yan know?

Yan seemed to sense Tang Tianyi’s confusion, shrugged his shoulders: ”After coming of age, one ties up their hair.”

Qhianqhian glanced at Tang Tianyi’s cropped hair, then at Haan Yun’s flowing silver locks, and finally at Yan’s unkempt but properly tied long hair, blinking: ”So I’m of age too, huh?”

”Hehe...” Yan looked at the things in his arms, wanted to mock but swallowed his words: ”Men and women are different; after coming of age, girls wear specific accessories.”

As for what those were, Yan didn’t say.

Qhianqhian became anxious, stretched out her hands: ”Look, look, I’m wearing them too.”

Seeing the round rings on Qhianqhian’s hands, Yan raised an eyebrow, a spark flashed in his eyes: ”Looks like the journey of the past two months was quite tiring. By the way, how do you guys drink this? Just drink it directly like this?”

Holding a huge ceramic jar, Yan seemed a bit at a loss; if he drank directly like this, would it spill and waste?

”Generally? Just use a cup.” Qhianqhian responded naturally.

Seeing the frustration on Yan’s face, she grinned mischievously: ”Why not trade something for it? I do have a cup.”

While there might be a lack of other things, Qhianqhian was never short on wine glasses, fancy plastic cups, and thermoses; even Nine Heavens Pavilion offered the thermos as an exchange reward, open to the disciples below.

”What do you want?” Yan clearly wasn’t foolish, and thus a back-and-forth exchange occurred between the two.

Tang Tianyi and Haan Yun sat on the side, dividing the well-roasted venison as each took a piece to eat.

Meanwhile, Qhianqhian successfully obtained a pile of elixirs that were of no real use.

But a free gift is better accepted than not accepted, isn’t it?

After eating and drinking her fill, Qhianqhian began cultivating without reservation nearby; with many around, she wasn’t worried. And Haan Yun continued digging a hole with a face full of grievances.

He couldn’t understand why, though he was the first to arrive, he still remained the most vulnerable in this group?

Finding food, he could do that too...

Just that it seemed somewhat challenging at this large size, else he wouldn’t have stolen the nearly burnt meat from Qhianqhian and Tang Tianyi.

Yan glanced at Tang Tianyi twice, then looked to the side, and walked over.

Tang Tianyi saw Yan’s gaze, hesitated for a moment, then followed him.

He had no idea what exactly he saw in Yan.

Yan directly set up a barrier of fire, shielding everything outside.

”For you to become one of us, first, you must inherit the Earth Hall.” Yan extended his palm, a black lotus gradually rose, red flames danced atop it, like red petals fluttering in the wind.

”You mean, you...”

”I possess the Fire Hall’s inheritance.” Yan murmured softly, ”And she will stand at the top of this world. Perhaps it can’t be seen now, but once her shackles are lifted, she will soar up high.”

”...I also have it.”

Tang Tianyi remained silent.

Regarding this Five Emperors’ inheritance, his curiosity reached its peak.

”Once the sect conference list is finalized, there will be ten years of preparation. Work hard.”

Ten years? Tang Tianyi’s face was written with astonishment; after having the list, another ten years for preparation?

”These ten years will establish the future millennium’s structure, and the various factions will also split within these ten years.”

”Do you belong to other factions?”

”Naturally.”

”Then you...”

”I’m just here to see the Emperor of Ice’s inheritance.” Yan expressed indifference: ”What the Emperor of Fire passed down is alchemy, but this Emperor of Ice, I truly couldn’t see anything.”

”You say she’ll rise above all...”

”I mean it seriously, but it only represents my attitude, not the others’ viewpoints.” Regarding the truth of the inheritances, he said nothing.

”Your strength, why...”

”The South lies within the Divine Realm; even with the barrier’s hindrance, it still gains more than what’s obtained in the barren lands.” Yan withdrew the barrier: ”Once the Star Path results are out, I will leave. So you need not worry too much about me.”

How could one not be wary? A big man always flaunting his chest in front of my girlfriend, who wouldn’t be anxious?

The key point was that this big man seemed used to it already, how could one accept this?

The conversation between the two wasn’t overheard by Qhianqhian and Haan Yun, but the fact that they left and returned was clearly seen by Qhianqhian and Haan Yun.

Qhianqhian couldn’t figure out this person’s direction, she could only secretly observe him.

”Am I very beautiful?” Pouring the wine into a plastic cup, Yan drank beautifully, his exposed abs quite striking, but compared to them, Yan’s physique seemed clearly stronger.

Qhianqhian paused, seeing Tang Tianyi’s calm gaze, hesitated for a long time, and then shook her head: ”I’m just pondering, don’t you ever need to use the bathroom?”

A jar of water already mostly went down, but there was no sign of him addressing his bodily needs...

During this period, Haan Yun, Tang Tianyi, and even she had gone to resolve it.

”Uh... the water evaporates anyway.” Yan said casually.

Evaporates? Fire Attribute has this effect?

Though Qhianqhian wasn’t aware of what he told Tang Tianyi, seeing that fire, she understood that the fire wasn’t something that could be made easily.

But, evaporation of water? Wouldn’t that lead to dryness...

Would dryness cause constipation?

Qhianqhian was deeply conflicted, yet couldn’t seem to voice her concerns.

As a lady, that’s how she saw herself.

It’s improper to bring up such matters that could damage dignity.

”All buried.” After a moment of silence, Haan Yun finally accomplished his great task, burying the three and covering them with earth, sighing in relief.

Seeing the obvious overturned soil, Qhianqhian shrugged; even knowing it was odd, no one here would be bored enough to dig just to check, right?

This isn’t a law-governed society? Otherwise, how could anyone bring a Royal Bloodline here to try and kill them?

How could there be actions where those who come for training never return?

Indeed, Qhianqhian preferred the safer world over the danger here.

But that world infringes too much upon privacy...

Then she will create paradise in this world! Let family live happily and freely, like life in Peach Blossom Spring.
