ow. This mission was relatively simple, Ripple harvested a good amount of soul power, but not much merit, after all, she used it to exchange for punishment props."Welcome back, this task was completed...Mr. Lin hurriedly agreed, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no response. He cautiously raised his head and found that the woman in red had vanished without a trace. The door to the room was still securely closed. He collapsed to the ground and lay there for a long while before finally getting up. He grabbed the silver from the table and left.

The ripples paused because of the fox demon's affairs, while on the other side, Lian Xiye truly appeared at this time at the bottom of a stream in a secluded valley within the demon clan's territory.

After the ripples also rose to the surface of the water, he released his divine sense to search around. At first, he didn't know that he had been sent to the demon clan. However, after encountering two fourth-order demon cultivators in a row, he realized he was in the demon clan.

At that time, he was terrified. This was a very dangerous place, but when he hid again under the stream and saw the third-level Water Star Grass growing freely in the water, he knew this was his destiny. He had to seize it no matter what.

Lian Xi ye wasn't foolish. To walk unimpeded through the territory of the demon race, he needed a demon identity. Fortunately, when he was rummaging in the secret room for blue mushrooms before, he found several demon pills and put them into his storage pouch. At the time, he thought about exchanging them for spirit stones, now wouldn't they come in handy.

So, Lian Ye took out a demonic pill that night. After carefully selecting it, he chose a fourth-order inner core from a wolf clan. After dripping blood to recognize the master, he placed the demonic pill in his dantian. He held his nascent soul in his arms, which would conceal the aura of his human race, making it convenient for him to move among the demon clan.

With his identity concealed, he finally stepped out from the hidden creek bed and began slowly gathering resources. To facilitate his search for suitable cultivation resources, he even disguised himself as a merchant and traveled between various demon tribes.

Through trading, he exchanged his human-crafted pills and small magical artifacts for some rare and valuable resources. It was like a mouse falling into a rice vat; miraculously, the demon cultivators didn't notice him.

If Ripples knew, she would surely sigh in amazement, saying that Heaven was truly biased and had made a mistake. What's there to cultivate about such a child of good fortune

At this moment, ripples had already appeared in Lin Jia Nü's boudoir. Lin Qing Wan was pacing anxiously, she didn't know if her father's words were true or false. If they were false, she would really be doomed. At this time, her thoughts were churning, and she didn't notice someone appearing in the room.

"Is Miss Lin ready"

Liàn Yī sat beside the dressing table, watching Lín Qīng Huǎn who was tilling the soil in her boudoir.

"Ah..."

Lin Qingwan was interrupted from her thoughts by the sound of voices. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Ripples, then let out a surprised gasp.

Liàn Yī wrinkled her brow, and Lín Qīng Wǎn immediately tactfully shut up. Then she respectfully stepped forward and bowed in greeting:

"Fairy, Lin Qingwan is ready."

"This is your boudoir, do you know where to hide someone"

Ripple stroked the whirlwind's head and asked.

"Got it."

"Hide, and come out after I've left."

The ripples spoke directly.

"Oh Yes!"

Lin Qingwan, seeing the calm demeanor of the Red Fairy, knew her life was safe. She immediately moved the footrest away from the bed, crawled under the bed, then pushed the footrest back into place before lowering her voice and saying:

"Fairy, little girl has hidden it well."

"I saw it. Just stay quiet."

Liàn Yī's lips twitched, then she raised her hand and cast a spell to conceal the other person's aura. Her figure flickered, transforming into Lin Qīng Wǎn's appearance, still holding Xuán Fēng quietly in her arms.

After nightfall, the sound of beating gongs and drums stopped at the doorstep of Lin's manor. Lin, with a somber expression, led the two female disciples of the old immortals into his daughter's boudoir.

Looking at the familiar red dress on "her daughter," Lin Yuanwai's face finally showed an expression. After a moment of astonishment, he stepped forward and instructed:

"Wan Wan, you were chosen by the old immortal. When you go there, be sure to serve the old immortal well. If you can become his disciple, that would be even better. The old immortal will surely protect our Lin family."

"Father, please rest assured. Your daughter has remembered your words and will certainly take good care of the old immortal."

Ripples smiled softly.

Lin Yuanwai, seeing the expression of "his daughter," knew right away that this was not his real daughter. The one before him must be the Red-clothed Immortal in disguise. His heart finally settled.

"Alright, let's not waste any time. Miss Lin, please follow us."

Two female disciples watched Lin Qingwan's pretty face, their eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy, and then immediately interrupted the conversation between the father and daughter.

"Yes, thank you all kind immortals."

Mr. Lin immediately laughed and flattered him.

The two weasel spirits immediately grinned, delighted that they too could be called immortals. This was incredibly beneficial to their cultivation.

Immediately, one on each side supported Liàn Yī back to her boudoir. They followed her until she sat in a red flower palanquin. The two of them still stood on either side of the palanquin as the sound of beating drums and gongs rose again, leading towards the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain.

"It seems that the Lin family is quite lucky this time. Their daughter was chosen by the old immortal, and she will surely fulfill the Lin family's wishes."

"Yes! I don't have the chance now, but when my granddaughter grows up, I will have her serve the old immortal and ask him to make me live forever."

The man said with a smile.

"Just stop bragging! Even the old immortal hasn't achieved immortality, how could he make you immortal!"

It's hard to say, what if it can happen then

"Cut..."

Ripples of such discussions reached my ears, all essentially wanting to exchange their daughters for benefits. Among them were also a few discordant voices.

Lin Ri, after hearing this, replied that although he was an ordinary person, there were always those who understood in any place. Although this family was peeping at Lin Ri and his team through a crack in the door, judging from what the head of the household said, they had already planned to move away. They just didn't want their twin daughters to serve the "old immortal."

Ripple closed her eyes and meditated, while the whirlwind trailed behind her at a leisurely pace, not revealing itself.

As soon as the palanquin was carried into the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain, those who had been blowing and beating instruments received their reward and happily dispersed. The two female disciples feigned politeness in helping Lianyi out of the palanquin and respectfully led their master out.

At this moment, a fragrant wind blew past, and a white-robed elder with an air of immortality appeared before the ripples. The two female disciples immediately stepped back and bowed their hands in greeting.

Ripple raised her hand to cover her nose. The smell on the fox spirit was truly awful, she thought. She tried to pretend she didn't smell it, but she couldn't. Especially since the other party had used perfume to try and mask the stench.

"Old Immortal, do you smell something foul"

The ripples spoke out of time.

"Be bold! Nonsense!"

A moment of crack appeared on the old immortal's face, then he raised his posture as a high person and reprimanded with a sneer. His eyes looking at Ripple were also unkind.

"Meow!"

A jet-black cat with not a single hair out of place let out a soft meow, then sauntered in through the door, coming first to ripple's side to rub against her legs before baring its teeth at the old immortal.

"The Old Immortal's" heart trembled, a bad feeling creeping in.ld definitely be dangerous, but this time I'm going with people from the village, so it's much safer. However, you should stay at Fifth Uncle's house until I get back."Wen Zhaoming patiently explained...
