Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 783: Chapter 783 Let Them Wait! (2nd Update)

To think that the Supreme Tribulation Elixir could very likely be the sole Holy Elixir in the entire Central Region.

Xiao Dancheng believed many people from the noble families and sects would be willing to pay any price for this elixir.

So he couldn’t have imagined in his dreams.

Such an incredibly precious elixir was being kicked back and forth like a shuttlecock by two little girls.

This made his heart rise to his throat, and his head swiveled back and forth following the elixir as it flew through the sky.

As for Dong Lingxin, she’d been dumbstruck since a moment ago.

“Grandpa Xiao, Sister Dong, you’re here!”

It was then that the two little lasses noticed the visitors and stopped their game, asking sweetly.

“Here…we’ve come!” Xiao Dancheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then said cautiously.

“Young ladies, the elixir you’re playing with is …”

Xiang Xiang casually tossed the elixir she was holding, startling Xiao Dancheng so much he shivered.

But Xiang Xiang said with a giggly smile, “This is the toy Daddy gave us! What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Cold sweat beaded even more on Xiao Dancheng’s forehead, “No…nothing’s wrong!”

But he couldn’t stop muttering in his heart.

Handing over such a precious Holy Elixir to two little girls to play with.

Indeed, the way this adult handled things was…capricious!

At this moment, Xue An pushed the gate open and stepped into the courtyard, then smiled at the two little lasses, “Xiang Xiang, Nian Nian, aren’t you going inside? Mother wants you two to change clothes!”

“But Daddy, we want to keep playing!” Xiang Xiang said.

Xue An blinked, “Mommy has prepared some very pretty new clothes for you, and after you change, Daddy will take you to have a big meal!”

At these words, both little girls’ eyes lit up.

Especially Nian Nian.

For her, who was only seven years old but already a veteran foodie, the allure of delicious food was obviously tremendous.

So she cheered and charged into the house, “We’re going for a big meal! Whoever runs slowest is a puppy!”

In passing, this little Nian Nian didn’t forget to play a trick on her sister.

But Xiang Xiang was not the kind to be easily bullied, as she charged forth with bared teeth and claws, “Silly Nian Nian, you’re dead meat! Don’t let me catch you, or I will glue your mouth shut, and then eat lots and lots of ice cream in front of you!”

Nian Nian giggled and said, “Well then, catch me first!”

Xue Xiang chased for a few steps but then stopped chasing, a sly look crossing her little face. She cleared her throat and said, “I’m not going to catch you, after all, the fastest runner is a pig!”

Nian Nian ran a few more steps forward, but ultimately stopped, hesitating.

But as she stopped,

Xue Xiang suddenly sped up and surged ahead, then burst into laughter.

Only then did Nian Nian realize she’d been tricked, stomping her foot in frustration, “Sister! You’re just a big, silly pig!”

“Bounce back all the bad words!”

“Bounce back is invalid!”

“Invalid but still bouncing back!”

“You’re cheating!”

“I’m cheating indeed!”

The two sisters chased each other into the house like this.

Xue An watched this scene with a smile until his two daughters were no longer in sight, then he turned his head to look at Xiao Dancheng and the others.

Xiao Dancheng and Dong Lingxin, among others, hastened to bow in salute.

“My lord!”

Xue An nodded slightly, “Is it time?”

Xiao Dancheng nodded, “It’s almost time. The Pill Masters from the guild have already gathered at the Elixir Tower, and the strong ones from various regions have also mostly arrived! Shouldn’t we set off now?”

Xue An nodded, “Yes, just wait a moment, Yan’er is putting on her makeup and it will be ready soon!”

“Yes!” Xiao Dancheng hurriedly lowered his head in response.

However, Dong Lingxin, who was standing behind him, felt somewhat unconvinced upon hearing these words.

She had seen An Yan before, which is why she always felt that this woman was somewhat unworthy of Xue An.

Especially now that Xue An had become the Elixir King.

The “mediocre-looking” woman seemed even more shabby and unimpressive.

Thus, she had always been curious, why would the honorable Elixir King respect that woman so much?

But what she didn’t know was that An Yan she saw was using Illusory Art to conceal her true appearance.

Time trickled away second by second.

In the blink of an eye, another half an hour had passed.

But An Yan still hadn’t come out.

Xiao Dancheng was becoming anxious, “My lord, everything on the other side is ready; they are all waiting for your appearance. Do you think you could perhaps hurry a little?”

But Xue An was not in the least bit anxious; instead, he sat leisurely in the hall sipping tea.

Upon hearing Xiao Dancheng’s words, he simply smiled and then said indifferently, “Don’t worry, when waiting for a woman to put on her makeup, you have to have the patience for everyday life, and it has only been a little over an hour! There’s still time.”

Xiao Dancheng was somewhat dumbfounded.

For people like him, they had never thought they would have to wait for a woman to put on makeup, let alone wait so contentedly.

Could it be that women were not just for flaunting one’s status and continuing the family line?

Xiao Dancheng couldn’t understand.

But Dong Lingxin’s eyes suddenly brightened.

In this world, the phenomenon of male superiority over women is extremely severe.

Only women who become strong, or like Lü Baiyue, are able to win the respect of others.

The rest simply become appendages to men.

Dong Lingxin used to be very angry about this, but as time passed and she saw more, she gradually became numb and even started to think that everything should naturally be so.

But Xue An’s behavior today had truly moved Dong Lingxin.

At least, she had never heard of any powerful figure in the Central Region who, like Xue An, would wait for their woman to finish putting on makeup.

For no reason, Dong Lingxin felt a bit more envious of An Yan.

Having such an understanding and respectful husband must surely lead to a happy life.

And so, everyone waited in the courtyard for a while longer.

The noise outside was growing louder and louder.

Xiao Dancheng was really getting anxious and couldn’t help saying, “My lord, why don’t we go ahead and leave Lingxin here. When the lady finishes her makeup, they can come over together?”

Xue An slowly took another sip of tea and then remained silent, shaking his head.

“But if it’s any later, everyone will be waiting.”

Xue An looked up at him, then indifferently said, “Then let them wait.”

With that single sentence, Xiao Dancheng swallowed the words he was about to say.

Xue An truly was not in a hurry; in fact, he had no interest in attending any Elixir King ceremony—it was simply something these people were adamant about holding.

As for how many powerful figures and tycoons were waiting,

that had nothing to do with Xue An.

In his opinion, even if Heaven’s Emperor himself were present, he would have to wait patiently until Yan’er was done with her makeup.

Finally.

After Xue An had another cup of tea, there came the sound of crisp footsteps behind him, followed by a shy female voice saying,

“Husband, do I look okay in this outfit?”
