Chapter 358 Postponement
Dragon Abyss City, the Dragon Family, the Trial Tower.
Greed, anger, ignorance, evil, love, hate, and desire—Tu Xiaoxiao only has love and desire.
Therefore, he passed through the Trial Tower very quickly.
The first five levels—greed, hatred, evil, anger, and delusion—are all empty towers.
The Trial Tower couldn't create an illusion suitable for him.
Tu Xiaoxiao ran up to the sixth floor in one breath.
The tower spirit looked on in amazement from inside the tower bead.
For the first time in 60,000 years, it had encountered such a pure tower climber.
When Tu Xiaoxiao ran up to the sixth floor, the stairs behind her suddenly disappeared, and a white light door appeared in front of her.
Two words floated above the white light gate: Exit.
Tu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the light gate for a long time...
This is really illogical. Is the Trial Tower really that easy?
If it's so easy, why are almost all the other cultivators who come out seriously injured?
He didn't know what other cultivators would encounter when they tried to enter the tower.
But that's definitely not the case; you can't just leave the tower without anything happening.
Moreover, he counted when he went upstairs, and this floor should be the sixth floor.
There are two more floors above. Surely he's not qualified to attempt the seventh and eighth floors?
He searched the tower floor for a long time; the floors were empty, with no gaps in the wall tiles except for the closed windows.
Tu Xiaoxiao stood by the window and looked out, seeing the wide square outside the Long family's trial tower.
I also saw Grandpa Long San standing in the square.
He returned to the portal, pondered for a moment, and then went inside.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. There's no other way out; we'll just go in and see what happens.
He entered the portal and emerged from the white portal in the next instant.
Tu Xiaoxiao looked back and saw that the portal had disappeared, and behind him was the gate to the first floor of the Trial Tower.
Grandpa Long strode over: "Hahaha, Xiaoxiao is indeed resilient. You are the first to pass the Trial Tower so easily."
Tu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, there was nothing in the Trial Tower at all, the Long family's Trial Tower must be malfunctioning.
After being pulled into the tower by the dragon's tail, he became wary of his third grandfather: "Third grandfather, I am not a cultivator of the Dragon family, why do you insist that I break through the tower?"
Grandpa Long didn't explain, but laughed it off and said, "Anyway, it's all for your own good. Grandpa Long won't harm you."
He didn't even ask Tu Xiaoxiao what she had gained, and directly told her to go back and let her know she was safe. After that, her third grandfather wouldn't be able to tell her where she was going.
Tu Xiaoxiao kept his doubts to himself, gave a perfunctory farewell with a bow, summoned the jade scroll, and flew away from the Long family.
In the beautifully landscaped courtyard, his mother and father were both there, as were his second and fifth uncles.
Tu Xiaoxiao's mother is Tu Shiyan, the youngest daughter of the current head of the Tu family.
Tu Shiyan originally had five husbands. Tu Xiaoxiao and Tu Ruanruan are her children with her first husband.
Her third and fourth husbands have passed away, and none of them left any children.
Her second and fifth husbands were both peacock demons, and each had a child with her.
In Longyuan City, children born to in-laws inherit whose bloodline they belong to upon reaching adulthood.
Tu Shiyan's two peacock cubs returned to the Hua family after they grew up.
Seeing her son return safely, Tu Shiyan beckoned him to sit beside her: "My Xiaoxiao has grown up, he's even found a partner, and he's become the Nine-Tailed Fox Lord. I'm so happy for you."
Tu Xiaoxiao sat sloppily, but her expression was very obedient: "Mother, you said the same thing the day your son came back."
The exact words were copied verbatim, without changing a single word: "My mother is being too perfunctory with me."
"Hahahaha." The beautiful fox demon laughed lovingly, "Mother is truly happy for you. Speaking of that Fairy Shen, Mother has never met her yet. When will you bring her back to meet Mother?"
Tu Xiaoxiao has already made arrangements for controlling public opinion since she returned this time: "Mother knows that because of the mermaid demon, it is inconvenient for her to come now. Once the crisis is over, I will definitely bring her back to see you, Father and Mother."
Tu Shiyan's smile faded: "The mermaid demon is truly despicable. In my opinion, the prophecy of calamity is false. They must have other motives for capturing Fairy Shen."
"Mother, I've heard that my daughter-in-law is incredibly wealthy, has a mysterious background, comes from the legendary outer heavens, and that her father is a Celestial Emperor?"
Tu Xiaoxiao nodded, then frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't Mother ask about all of these sons the day they came back?"
Tu Shiyan patted his hand: "Mother knows, Mother is just reminding you."
"Back in Longyuan City, she caused such a commotion in just over two months. She was an overly flamboyant fairy."
She felt sorry for her son: "She's too young, you have to discipline her properly, you have to manage her in all the ways you need to."
Tu Xiaoxiao understood the reasoning, and what his mother said was actually not wrong, but he just didn't get the feeling from it.
He stood up to take his leave: "Mother, don't worry, I will spoil her as much as she deserves."
As for her overly flamboyant personality, he liked it; the more flamboyant she was, the more he liked it.
"Your son has been delayed for quite some time since he came back. I'm setting off for Longquan Cliff now. Mother, Father, Second Uncle, Fifth Uncle, I'm leaving."
Tu Xiaoxiao greeted them and then turned to leave.
He stepped out of the courtyard gate, about to fly away, when he heard Tu Ruanruan calling him, "Second brother, second brother..."
The usually elegant and gentle third sister, lifting her skirt, rushed towards him, crying, "Second brother, don't go..."
Tu Ruanruan wants to find a partner. She has taken a liking to a male demon and wants Tu Xiaoxiao to give her advice.
On one side is his wife, and on the other is his younger sister.
Although his wife was safe in Chongcheng for the time being, he still wanted to return to her side as quickly as possible.
But choosing a partner is also a big deal for my younger sister...
He took out his communication token and sent a message to Shen Yao, thinking he should first ask her about the situation on her end.
After sending the message, Tu Ruanruan pulled him back to Jinxiuyuan, but he waited for a long time without receiving a reply.
Tu Xiaoxiao checked the time; Yao Yao should be resting at this hour. He sent another message, but still received no reply.
The fox demon panicked and sent messages to Jiang Mingfeng and Yu Xianyu one by one, but the messages all went unanswered.
Why aren't they replying?
Tu Xiaoxiao couldn't stay a moment longer: "Third sister, Father and Mother are at home, and eldest brother is here too. Ask them for help. Second brother can't delay any longer."
"Second brother, wait a minute." Tu Ruanruan pulled him back and showed him her communication token: "Sister-in-law replied, second brother, it's your communication token that's broken."
Shen Yao told Tu Xiaoxiao to focus on helping her third sister find a match and not to rush to find her.
Tu Xiaoxiao then postponed her return trip.
But as the days went by, he never saw his future brother-in-law even once.
Every time he suggested meeting, Tu Ruanruan would say she was busy or that her future brother-in-law was busy and couldn't make it for him to meet.
It was strange, but when he idly asked around Longyuan City, all his brothers and sisters kept it a secret from him and wouldn't tell him who his future brother-in-law was.
He finally ran out of patience and firmly said goodbye to his sister: "I have to go. You can ask your older brother for help."
No matter how Tu Ruanruan tried to persuade him, it was no use. Frustrated, she shoved him hard: "Second brother is biased! Is Shen Yao really that good? You insist on going with her to protect her, even though she can't have children..."
Tu Xiaoxiao's fox ears perked up, and her eyes narrowed: "How do you know she can't have children?"
Tu Ruanruan made a slip of the tongue and tried to argue, "Isn't she a clay body? She was injured in the Trial Tower, so she was buried in the ground and grew. How can a clay body grow?"
Tu Xiaoxiao wasn't sure about the others, but he was the only one in Longyuan City who knew that Shen Yao was a clay body.
Even when Shen Yao was buried in the ground to heal her wounds at the Long family's residence, Long Ergu did not know that Shen Yao was a clay body.
Tu Xiaoxiao made a quick decision, gathering her spiritual power at her fingertips and placing it on her forehead.
Please summon the Soul Pearl to dispel the illusion.
