36: A mortal girl born with spiritual bones

“Pfft!”

Yang Yan immediately spat out a mouthful of tea upon hearing this.

Xiao Qingyuan patted her back, saying helplessly, “Cough! Mother, you don’t have to react so strongly, do you…?”

Yang Yan coughed a few times, then spoke in a hoarse whisper, “Son, you aren’t really like the rumors say, that you only like Mortal women, are you?”

It had to be said that after the Jiang Sisters were well-fed, their appearances were also top-notch.

Especially after the eldest's body gradually improved, not only did her height increase.

Her figure had even surpassed that of her taller, long-legged younger sister, Jiang Congbai.

Paired with a pair of bright, large eyes and smooth, long hair.

In terms of beauty, she was actually not inferior to Zhen Qi.

Yang Yan had seen both of them, and they were both very beautiful.

She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Coupled with Guanyin Nu also being a Mortal, rumors about Xiao Qingyuan had already spread within their small circle.

The Seventeenth Young Master of the Xiao Family's Second Branch — he only liked to marry beautiful Mortals.

Xiao Qingyuan was very speechless upon hearing this.

He quickly explained, “Mother, I’m really not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, wait a while. When Guanyin Nu can Cultivate, I’ll call her over. Da Jiang is in a similar situation.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can wait a while longer and see?”

As he spoke, he directly released his Aura of the Qi Refining Stage - Late Phase.

This immediately made Yang Yan stop speaking abruptly.

She stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a word.

“See? I really haven’t neglected my Cultivation.”

Yang Yan, who had come back to her senses, had a dazed look on her Face, then she grabbed Xiao Qingyuan’s arm.

The next second, a gentle magic power flowed into his body.

“The Realm is stable, the Foundation is solid, and there are no traces of Cultivating evil techniques.”

“Phew…”

After checking, Yang Yan let out a heavy sigh.

“No wonder, no wonder, son.”

“I now believe that you have some special abilities.”

However, as she said this, she hesitated again.

“Your eyes, can they really see special Physiques on others?”

Xiao Qingyuan nodded confidently.

【I can’t, but I have the reincarnation seal!】

“It really can.”

“Good!”

Yang Yan immediately slapped the table upon hearing this.

“Since that’s the case, Mother will help you this one time.”

...Time flew by.

Three days passed quickly.

Xiao Qingyuan, after his Breakthrough, increased his efficiency again, drawing Spirit Sealing Talismans at a rate of fifty per day.

He only stopped his talisman brush when Zhao Guanyin, having heard the news, emerged from her seclusion.

These past two days, whenever he had time, he would secretly check the arriving guests.

However, each time he shook his head in disappointment.

Yang Yan herself was also a persistent person.

She wrote letters to each of her sisters.

Making the Xiao Clan Immortal Family lively again because of the two little ones.

Xiao Tianheng and the others were somewhat confused, thinking that Xiao Qingyuan's emphasis on his eldest son and daughter was the reason.

They didn't say anything either.

The old man even made a special appearance for a while, drank a few cups of wine, and then pretended to be “lacking energy” before being helped away.

Xiao Qingyuan's eyes twitched at the sight.

If he hadn't personally witnessed his grandfather's methods.

He would have really thought he was just an ordinary old man.

However, even after the banquet ended, Xiao Qingyuan did not encounter any special Physiques that could trigger a reaction from the reincarnation seal.

He then shook his head with a slight disappointment.

Yang Yan also felt deeply disappointed at the sight.

However, it wasn't until the banquet was about to end.

When Magistrate Hou arrived late with his wife, Xiao Qingyuan's expression stirred.

His gaze instantly turned to the red-clad young girl standing beside the Magistrate's wife.

Xiao Qingyuan infused his magic power into his eyes, activating his spiritual vision.

He discovered that in the perspective of his spiritual vision, the third bone of the young girl's spine actually had a faint halo flowing within it.

This immediately made Xiao Qingyuan excited.

—This was actually a natural spirit bone without a Spiritual Root?

“Mother, I found her, it’s her!”

Yang Yan immediately rejoiced upon hearing this, then nervously sent a voice transmission.

“Ah? Son, isn’t that inappropriate? How old is the Magistrate's wife?”

Xiao Qingyuan's words caught in his throat upon hearing this.

What the hell… “Mother, where did your mind go? I’m talking about the one in red beside the Magistrate's wife.”

Yang Yan moved a few steps, changed her angle, and only then saw the person, which made her relax again.

The red-clad young girl did not dress in the usual ornate style like others, but instead had a heroic air on her cold Face.

Even without makeup, she appeared clear and moving.

Dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, Saber Intent coiled around her, and her cultivation had reached the Great Grandmaster Realm.

Her talent was extraordinary.

Especially the red tear mole at the corner of her eye, which added a touch of enchanting charm to her cool demeanor.

She was indeed a rare and excellent beauty.

“Hahaha, the county affairs are busy, and everything is just settling down. I got so busy that I arrived a bit late.”

“Hongniang, quickly come and greet Madam Xiao!”

Upon seeing this, some people immediately whispered in discussion:

“Magistrate Hou also came to offer congratulations to the Seventeenth Young Master?”

“Isn’t that to be expected? He is an Immortal, and Magistrate Hou is just a Mortal.”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Yan naturally went up to greet him warmly.

Originally, she only needed to maintain a respectful distance from Magistrate Hou, but now she could give him some Face.

“It’s good that Magistrate Hou could come. My Xiao Family welcomes you.”

“It’s just that my husband is in seclusion Cultivating, which is why I, a woman, am hosting this banquet.”

“Is this your daughter? She is truly a heroic and spirited girl.”

“The moment I saw her, my heart, as a mother, was filled with joy. I just don’t know if she is betrothed?”
