Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 554: Chapter 554 Heading to Qingmang (2nd Update)

Qingmang Town.

Yue Lai Hotel.

Xue Lan, who was seated in meditation on the bed, felt a jolt throughout her body. Her previously somewhat obstructed thoughts suddenly cleared, and her cultivation level began to surge.

Moments later, Xue Lan slowly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing and vanishing.

The cultivation level that had been stuck at Xiaoyao now finally broke through to Heavenly Being.

And it was directly at the peak of Heavenly Being.

But a hint of confusion flickered in Xue Lan’s eyes.

Because just as she was cultivating, she suddenly sensed a change in the energy between heaven and earth, as if something had been added. Then, under this inexplicable feeling, she had successfully broken through.

What was that?

Xue Lan racked her brain but couldn’t figure it out, eventually shaking her head.

Forget it.

After all, she had broken through, so why worry about what it was!

Xue Lan got out of bed, habitually opened the window, and prepared to breathe in some fresh air.

Her room had the best location in the entire Yue Lai Hotel, offering a view of Mount Qingmang upon opening the window.

Since it was close to the end of the year, which was the off-season for tourism, Yue Lai Hotel had quieted down.

So, Xue Lan had moved in to stay here.

Just as Xue Lan was about to wash up after pushing open the window, she suddenly froze.

Mount Qingmang, which should have been withered, was now suddenly dressed in green; lush trees and blooming flowers presented a scene brimming with life.

How… how could this be?

Could it be that she had been in a deep meditation for several months, and it was now spring of the following year?

Xue Lan quickly took out her phone to check.

The time was perfectly normal, wasn’t it?

So what was going on?

In just one night, the vast Mount Qingmang had inexplicably returned to springtime; this was simply incredible.

Xue Lan didn’t bother with her washing anymore, and quickly went downstairs.

By the time she reached the hotel lobby,

the security guards and attendants were all discussing this matter.

Upon seeing Xue Lan, they immediately stood up straight, not daring to speak any further.

Xue Lan had been managing Yue Lai Hotel for more than two years; her authority had sunk deep into people’s hearts, and nobody dared to belittle her due to her age.

However, Xue Lan paid no attention to these people and ran out of the hotel, standing on the street to observe.

She saw the greenery spreading down from Mount Qingmang all the way to the edge of the town, where it gradually thinned out.

Even so, Xue Lan could still see a hint of green on the two large trees by the hotel’s entrance.

At this moment, not just her, the whole Qingmang Town was discussing this event.

All sorts of theories were rampant.

Some said it was due to a seasonal warming.

Others said this year’s winter simply wasn’t cold enough.

And some went straight to the point, directly claiming it was the divine intervention of the deity of Mount Qingmang.

Obviously, this last explanation gained a lot of traction, as many people had already spontaneously rushed to the foot of the mountain to burn incense and pray.

Of course, Xue Lan didn’t believe those rumors. She stood on the street, deep in thought for a moment, then took out her phone to call Xue An.

Xue An was at that moment playing video games with Huyue.

Ever since being duped by an old lady during a live stream, Huyue had lost faith in those attractive female streamers and became obsessively fond of playing games instead.

Especially fighting games, for which he had a particular passion.

Given that Huyue’s cultivation level and physique were far superior to ordinary people, he quickly became extremely skilled at the games in a short amount of time.

Moreover, he was extremely competitive and would never hold back to let others win.

After making Xiao Sha cry from defeat, everyone kept their distance, leaving only Xue An who would play a couple of rounds with him.

At this moment, the fight had reached its most critical juncture.

The characters controlled by both sides were on their last sliver of health, and a single mistake could mean certain death.

Just as the two were in the throes of battle, Xue An’s phone started ringing.

Xue An pressed the controller with one hand and took out his cell phone with the other, seeing it was his sister, Xue Lan, calling, he answered it.

“Hello! Lan’er, what’s up?” Xue An had just uttered his first sentence.

Huyue saw Xue An holding the controller with only one hand and thought he saw an opportunity, so he grinned viciously and made his character charge forward.

“Ah, it’s nothing much!” Xue Lan felt a sudden anxiety upon hearing Xue An’s voice, and quickly steadied her nerves.

“Oh!” Xue An responded and continued to deftly control his character with one hand, dodging Huyue’s attacks.

“It’s just that Mount Qingmang seemed to have returned to spring overnight, with leaves turning green and flowers blooming in abundance! And my cultivation level broke through from Xiaoyao to the peak of Heavenly Being just last night!” Xue Lan paused for a moment before asking.

“Brother, isn’t that strange?”

Xue An, who had been focused on the screen, raised his eyebrows slightly, “Oh? Mount Qingmang turned green overnight?”

“Yes!”

Just then, Huyue shouted triumphantly, “Xue An, you’re definitely losing this time!”

As he spoke, he unleashed the powerful move he had been holding back.

A slight smile appeared on Xue An’s lips as he said into the phone, “Hold on a second!”

His fingers suddenly moved as though they had vanished, the only sound was the rapid clicking of the controller, followed by his character executing an ultimate finishing move.

When the giant ‘KO’ appeared on the screen, Huyue stared fixedly, his face draining of color.

Xue An stood up, patted him on the shoulder, “It’s no use, you can’t beat me in real life, and you can’t beat me in gaming either!”

Just as Xue An said, Huyue had played dozens of games with him, but he hadn’t won a single one.

This was the closest he had ever come to victory.

As they spoke, there was a faint clicking sound from Xue An’s controller, which then cracked and emitted wisps of smoke, irreparably damaged.

Huyue stared blankly, dumbfounded.

Xue An chuckled and turned to speak into the phone, “Was there anything unusual about Mount Qingmang before this?”

“No, nothing. And the day before yesterday, old man Zhai came by the hotel for a visit, and he didn’t mention any abnormalities in the mountain then!”

“Alright, I’ve got it!”

Xue Lan bit her lip, mustered up her courage, and asked, “Brother, what do you plan to do?”

“What’s up?” Xue An queried in return.

“Oh! It’s nothing, just wanted to ask you! It’s almost New Year’s, you know! Are you… coming back home for the holidays?” Xue Lan hesitantly let out these words.

Xue An was taken aback.

New Year’s!

Indeed, it was nearly New Year’s!

Since leaving Qingmang Town at the age of a teenager, it had been thousands of years since he had gone back for New Year’s.

But what would be the point of returning?

The family was gone! Relatives were no longer there!

Xue Lan was also feeling nervous by then, having mustered up the courage to ask the question, she now somewhat regretted it.

Xue An fell silent for a moment, then laughed, “Alright! Then let’s return to Qingmang Town for the New Year! Might as well see what’s really going on!”

After hanging up the call, Huyue stood up and asked, “Something going on?”

Xue An grinned, “Yes! And it’s happening right in my hometown, Mount Qingmang!”

Then he turned to An Yan and said, “This New Year’s, let’s go to Qingmang!”

“Sure!” An Yan had no objections.

Huyue nodded, “As this calamity approaches, the Fate Secret Realm will open, and such phenomena will become more frequent; it’s just uncertain whether this time the Fate Secret Realm will open at Mount Qingmang!”
