155: Chapter 145 Bet (Seeking Subscriptions) 155: Chapter 145 Bet (Seeking Subscriptions) Luo Yaxuan held a lively Cloud Elf in his hand, which was jumping around while eating Spirit Supplement Pills.
After consuming a few pills, it looked at them with adorable eyes, chirping, as it longed to break free from the bottle.
Using a spell, Luo Yaxuan restrained the jade bottle, preventing the Cloud Elf from escaping.
“How cute,” Liu Jiaojiao praised.
Xiao Xiang smiled as he watched them play, then exchanged a glance with the wide-awake Liu Yong.
Their daughter was still young and they didn’t want her to choose a partner so soon; in the mundane world, girls began to marry at the age of fifteen.
However, in their Cultivation World, people married later, and girls didn’t marry so early.
The path of cultivation was long and marriage could make progress more difficult.
Xiao Xiang and Liu Yong were of one mind: with Luo Yaxuan being such a good-natured and talented disciple from a prominent family with boundless prospects, and someone they knew well, if the disciple became their son-in-law, it would indeed be wonderful.
They could let their daughter spend more time with him; forming a Daoist couple in a few years wouldn’t be late.
Entrusting their daughter to Luo Yaxuan, they could be at ease.
Liu Yong and Xiao Xiang both came from common families, and of course, they hoped their daughter wouldn’t have to take as many detours in her cultivation journey.
With Luo Yaxuan by her side to protect her, perhaps she wouldn’t have to fear danger as much when venturing out in the future.
Luo Yaxuan’s skill with wind and thunder was formidable; he was a known quantity in the competitions and the dangerous solutions couldn’t harm him.
Having such a powerful disciple as a future son-in-law was truly an honor.
Although Luo Yaxuan was only at the Mid Foundation Establishment, he had the advantage of being young and perceptive, with a brighter future than many Golden Core Elders.
Liu Yong and Xiao Xiang might only appear to be in their thirties, but they were actually in their sixties.
They only reached the Golden Core stage and considered marriage later in life and had a daughter.
Unaware of his master and mistress’s thoughts, Luo Yaxuan didn’t feel lonely or bored, engaging in lighthearted chat with his lively junior sister.
Liu Jiaojiao was extremely happy.
Ever since meeting Luo Yaxuan, she wore a cheerful, sprightly expression typical of a young girl, sneaking glances at him while also continuously asking for cultivation advice.
Since reaching adulthood, Luo Yaxuan, who entered the Immortal Sect in his teens, rarely interacted with female disciples, and even if one approached him for advice, he would chat politely for a few sentences.
He had never been as gentle with anyone as he was with Liu Jiaojiao, just like a big brother.
It wasn’t that Luo Yaxuan had never gone out on missions.
When on a mission, he hardly had the mind to notice other female cultivators.
In the Immortal Sect, he had no intention of finding a Daoist companion.
His ambition was to achieve a cultivation beyond the Golden Core before considering a partner.
Liu Jiaojiao was like a little sister from his own family.
He didn’t have an actual younger sister, and he had lost contact with his female cousins from the clan since entering the Immortal Sect.
There were also other disciples of his age who had gone to other Immortal Sects.
Everyone had their own mission in life.
“Ha ha, none of them caught a Cloud Elf.”
With a bottle containing a Cloud Elf in hand, Liu Jiaojiao placed it next to Luo Yaxuan’s bottle, which also captured a Cloud Elf.
While they chatted, she also sneakily observed others outside.
The people in other rooms who failed to catch a Cloud Elf seemed disappointed.
Luo Yaxuan smiled slightly, feeling that this was also good as excess is counterproductive.
Having the Cloud Elf in the future, he would be able to control it to perform Illusion Spells and gain a defense against enemies.
In this competition amongst all Immortal Sects, he now had an invisible Magical Treasure.
Before that, he needed to subdue the Cloud Elf.
Luo Yaxuan whistled at the Cloud Elf.
“Chirp chirp chirp,”
With the Cloud Elf jumping inside, Luo Yaxuan opened the bottle and unleashed a Spell light circle.
The Cloud Elf couldn’t escape and continued to bounce around within the circle.
“Hehe, this is fun,” chuckled Liu Jiaojiao, who had thought Luo Yaxuan was about to release the Cloud Elf and had been ready to stop him.
“Junior sister, let’s have a competition, to see who can subdue the Cloud Elf first.”
“A competition?
I’m sure to win.
Is there a prize?”
“Junior Sister, what sort of prize do you want?”
“If I win, from now on, big brother has to protect me for life.”
“What kind of prize is that?
You’re my Junior Sister, I’m naturally supposed to protect my Junior Sister.”
“Oh, big brother, that’s not what I mean.
I want you to protect me for life, just like you would protect any other girl.”
“But I don’t protect any other girls!”
“That’s not what I mean.
Haven’t you ever thought about having a partner?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“I don’t care, that’s the prize I want.
If I win, you have to protect me just like you would a partner.”
“But what if I win?”
“If you win, I’ll protect you just as I would my own husband.”
“Then we’ll see if Junior Sister is strong enough.
With your current abilities, you can’t protect your big brother.”
“Hmph, don’t underestimate me.
Just because your cultivation is higher than mine now doesn’t mean it will always be.
With Golden Core Elder parents, I’m certain to surpass your cultivation.”
“Maybe, maybe not.”
“Big brother, are you going to take the bet or not?”
“But I feel like, no matter the bet, Junior Sister ends up with the advantage.”
“What?
You’re a manly man, a girl’s natural protector, and still you say the girl ends up with the advantage?”
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t protect Junior Sister!
But this isn’t exactly a prize, is it?”
“I don’t care, that’s the prize I want.”
“Alright then!” Luo Yaxuan teased his Junior Sister, laughing to himself.
Xiao Xiang and Liu Yong watched them bicker with smiles on their faces.
Sun Zi’an couldn’t help but admire Luo Yaxuan, managing to chat with a girl and make her so happy—it must be a skill!
Luo Yaxuan whistled at his Cloud Elf and took out a jade vial of Spirit Supplement Pills for it.
“I can do that too…” Liu Jiaojiao imitated, whistling into a vial.
Xiao Xiang felt the urge to cover her face.
Had her teachings been too indulgent?
Her daughter acted like a boy; whistling at this moment was a bit embarrassing.
Actually, Luo Yaxuan did it on purpose.
Communicating with such intelligent elves required whistling and including the language of speaking to them, not just random whistling.
“Chirp chirp”—the elf that was about to be sent out nodded within the glow.
Luo Yaxuan bit his finger, a drop of blood falling from it, landing perfectly within the glow.
The elf absorbed the drop of blood and, with a docile appearance, bonded with its new master as a Spiritual Pet.
“Hey, why aren’t you nodding at me?” Liu Jiaojiao was getting anxious by then.
She was whistling too, right?
Why was there no reaction from the Cloud Elf inside her glow?
Maybe this Cloud Elf was a bit slow.
Liu Jiaojiao wasn’t willing to accept defeat just like that.
“Daughter, you need to communicate with the elf using your Divine Sense.” Xiao Xiang couldn’t help but give her daughter some pointers.
“Mother, why didn’t you say so earlier?
You made me lose the competition.”
While Liu Jiaojiao said this, she still listened to her mother and subdued the Cloud Elf.
