Li Xiaonan stared blankly at the two identical-looking women in front of him, tugging at each other's hair and pulling with all their might.
What was the difference between their fierce demeanor and that of the aunties at the market?
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "How can this be right for Zhao Ling'er in my mind?"
"Xiao Nan, you have to stop them!" both Lu Nishang and Yuan Xian'er called out simultaneously.
Even if you didn't say anything, I would still intervene.
"Enough! Stop it right now!" Li Xiaonan shouted, directly pulling apart the two entangled women.
The sound of two crisp slaps echoed almost simultaneously.
Li Xiaonan was momentarily stunned by the blows from these two women.
Zhao Lingyue frowned and said, "You shameless woman, how dare you hit my son-in-law!"
Zhao Lingshan retorted defiantly, "You're the shameless one! I'm hitting my own son-in-law; what business is it of yours?"
Li Xiaonan felt a wave of frustration wash over him.
Damn it! I just got slapped twice by my own Mother of the Mountain for no reason—what kind of situation is this?
Seeing that the Zhao sisters were about to start fighting again, Li Xiaonan grabbed one of their wrists and exclaimed angrily, "That's enough!"
Zhao Lingshan immediately feigned weakness and said, "This woman keeps clinging to me. I've already decided to start anew for Lu Ni Chang, but she won't give me a chance."
"Well, you still have a chance to start over, but what about Yuan Pu? You caused his demise; how do you plan to settle that score?" Zhao Lingyue said angrily.
Li Xiaonan glanced at Zhao Lingshan. Although he greatly disliked this woman who pretended to be delicate while harboring malicious intentions, she was after all the mother of Lu Nishang.
He had promised Lu Nishang to protect Zhao Lingshan's life, so despite his reluctance, he could not harm her, nor could he allow Zhao Lingyue to harm her.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Zhao Lingyue, "Mother of the Mountain, I know you are filled with hatred, but this woman cannot be killed."
Seeing Zhao Lingyue about to retort, Li Xiaonan quickly added, "But we cannot let Father-in-law's revenge go unavenged."
Zhao Lingyue furrowed her brows and forced herself to suppress her anger as she asked, "How can we take revenge if we don't kill her?"
"She killed your man; I will kill her man," Li Xiaonan replied coldly. In his heart, he thought: Huang Qi, don’t blame me; it was you who caused my Mother of the Mountain's death. Your wife also caused the deaths of my Father-in-law and Yanrong.
Your wife is fortunate to have Lu Nishang as a daughter; I cannot touch her, so I can only use you as a bargaining chip.
As he thought this, he clenched his fists tightly, and the air around him turned icy.
Zhao Lingshan sneered, "Huang Qi has the support of the Dragon Clan; do you really think you can kill him?"
A surge of arrogance suddenly rose in Li Xiaonan's chest. With his hands clasped behind his back, he replied, "Whether or not I can kill him is my business. You just need to think clearly about what you'll do once he's dead."
Zhao Lingshan was momentarily taken aback, seemingly intimidated by Li Xiaonan's aura.
Zhao Lingyue's pupils constricted as she momentarily failed to grasp the implications of their conversation.
Wasn't Zhao Lingshan's man this kid's Father-in-law? How could they not kill Mother of the Mountain yet still kill Father-in-law? What kind of logic was that?
Li Xiaonan noticed her confusion but offered no further explanation. He directly summoned Lu Nishang and Yuan Xian'er over.
He transmitted his voice: "Keep an eye on your mothers and make sure they don't start fighting again. Otherwise, once their cultivation is restored, our Cloud Sky Pavilion will inevitably be torn apart by them."
The two girls nodded, each grabbing their mother as they flew towards the two pavilions in the clouds.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the four women leave.
Ling Kui walked up to his side and smiled, "How is it that the brave Li Xiaonan also finds things tricky?"
"Ah, every family has its own troubles. Oh, look at you, Ling'er, even you are teasing me. Just wait and see how I deal with you."
Li Xiaonan narrowed his eyes, but the smile in them still shone through.
He grabbed Ling Kui's delicate wrists with one hand while the other reached for her slim waist, teasingly tickling her.
Ling Kui squirmed uneasily, her cheeks flushed as she laughed, "Stop... stop messing around... Mo You is looking for you..."
Li Xiaonan frowned and replied, "He's looking for his matters; I'm looking for mine."
As he spoke, he pulled Ling Kui into his embrace, wrapping his arms around her waist and leaning down to whisper in her ear, "Ling'er, I've missed you..."
The gentle breeze brushed past Ling Kui's ear, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body. She stiffened for a moment, her crimson glow becoming even more enchanting.
She gasped softly, "Hurry... stop fooling around... the clan leader must have urgent matters to discuss with you."
"I'm not fooling around, Ling'er. I really miss you... Do you miss me?" As he spoke, he held her fragrant shoulders with both hands, his gaze playfully locking onto her bright black eyes.
Ling Kui nodded slightly. Li Xiaonan smiled and embraced her tightly before teleporting them directly to his Cloud Sky Cottage.
Each pavilion in the Cloud Sky Pavilion floated independently above different clouds, and this Cloud Sky Cottage was Li Xiaonan's private residence.
However, Li Xiaonan had never been inside before, just like its original owner, Yun Xinghe.
On ordinary days, if he wanted to meditate and practice, he would naturally go to the Meditation Room; if he wanted to be with a girl like Obedient Dragon II, he could enter whichever room he pleased.
Li Xiaonan waved his right hand to close the door behind them and eagerly began to remove Ling Kui's clothing.
Just as he loosened her belt, a voice came from behind him: "You little rascal! I called you here to see me, and you actually ignored me just to fool around with your wife? I see you've got your head filled with lust!"
Li Xiaonan paused, knowing without turning around that it was Mo You, his old friend, standing behind him.
He cleared his throat and tightened the belt of Ling Kui. "You know, Ling'er, that old dragon behind me has had a crush on me for a long time. He just can't stand to see me with the young Dragon Maiden, so he keeps saying I've got bugs in my brain."
"You..." Mo You wasn't foolish; he could easily tell that Li Xiaonan was trying to slander him in a roundabout way.
Li Xiaonan pretended not to hear and looked at Ling Kui, whose eyes were filled with laughter. He continued, "If I really had bugs in my brain, that old dragon's scheme would have succeeded. Although he looks soft and cute like a piece of silk tofu, who doesn't know he's actually oily tofu? How can he shamelessly watch his juniors do embarrassing things? Truly an old fool."
"You! I won't look! I'm leaving!" Mo You was so angry that he completely forgot his original purpose for coming. With two and a half months left until the three-month deadline, he had intended to discuss plans with Li Xiaonan, but now it was all forgotten as he turned to leave.
Ling Kui quickly grabbed Mo You's arm. "Senior, don't be angry. Xiao Nan is just joking with you; please don't take it seriously."
"I do take it seriously! I absolutely do!" Mo You was so furious he was practically jumping up and down.
Seeing him in such a flustered state brought Li Xiaonan great joy.
Mo You always appeared calm and composed to outsiders, but those who knew him well understood that this guy had a way with words that could infuriate someone with just a single sentence.
Li Xiaonan had long been annoyed by how Mo You always used his status as clan leader to pressure him. Now that he had cut off his connection with Ling Kui and Obedient Dragon II, it was only natural for him to tease Mo You.
"Xiao Nan, you should come over and apologize," Ling Kui said with a frown.
"No way," Li Xiaonan huffed, turning his head away.
"Why are you throwing a tantrum?" Ling Kui asked, though his furrowed brow was softened by affection in his eyes.
"I'm throwing a tantrum because of that old fool Mo You! If you keep bothering me, I won't play with you anymore. I won't be the leader of the dragon clan anymore!"
"You..." Mo You was taken aback, nearly having a heart attack from anger.
Ling Kui also looked surprised as he turned to Li Xiaonan and asked, "Are you really going to abandon me and the Azure Dragon Clan?"
Li Xiaonan crossed her arms and gave a sly wink at Ling Kui, a glint of mischief flashing in her eyes.
Ling Kui thought to himself: I almost got tricked by this rascal.
Mo You, still fuming, didn’t notice any of this. He said, “Fine, you don’t care, I do. I’m leaving now.” With that, he moved away.
Li Xiaonan flicked her fingers, and a speck of starlight landed on Mo You's shoulder.
It wasn't until Mo You had left that Ling Kui asked, “What exactly are you up to?”
Li Xiaonan replied, “Nothing much. I just wanted to see how far the internal strife among the dragon clans has developed. I believe that even with the Huang, Bai, and Hei factions gathering now, they are not completely united.”
“Is there anything we can help with?” Ling Kui looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes, feeling a twinge of concern.
A spark of excitement flashed in Li Xiaonan's eyes as she hugged Ling Kui and said with a smile, “There’s Obedient Dragon II.”
With more than two months until the March appointment, Mo You remained in a bad mood but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he continued to stay at Cloud Sky Pavilion to recuperate and consumed countless elixirs from the pavilion.
This left the elders of the Mei Family quite troubled, but Master had spoken—if he could eat himself to death, that would be best.
When this reached Mo You's ears, it only fueled his anger further; every day was filled with either eating elixirs or training.
Meanwhile, Ling Kui understood the soft heart hidden behind Li Xiaonan's toothy grin.
After a series of fortunate events, this marked the third time in half a month that Li Xiaonan had experienced "Eight Immortals Cross the Sea."
At this moment, he sat on the bed in a daze, surrounded by a group of beautiful women lying around him.
Noticing his serious expression, Ling Kui couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Nan, what’s wrong?”
Li Xiaonan slowly shook his head. At this moment, his Divine Infant had already fused the first and second stages together, just like during his peak period. However, the third stage seemed to be stuck, refusing to grow. Even after experiencing the last two "Eight Immortals Cross the Sea," there was no change in the Divine Infant within him.
This left Li Xiaonan feeling somewhat discouraged. It seemed that without "One Becomes One," the Divine Infant would struggle to reach its full potential. He decided to put it aside for now; time was running short, and he needed to set off.
With that thought, he stood up slowly, dressed himself, and smiled at the women around him. "I'm off to gather some flowers; you all behave yourselves."
"You're being ridiculous. Just be careful; we'll wait for your return," Yun Moyu said with a glance at him.
"Okay." Li Xiaonan squinted and smiled before vanishing from Cloud Sky Pavilion, heading towards Dragon Valley.
At this point, there was still a month and a half until their three-month agreement, and he had to reach Dragon Valley before Mo You did.
He didn’t say anything to Ling Kui and the others; he set off alone.
Ling Kui and the others didn’t ask further questions. They knew Li Xiaonan would definitely return because they were waiting for him.
As night fell, the stars twinkled with enchanting light.
The planet where Dragon Valley was located was hidden among a cluster of desolate stars, at least ten thousand star routes away from Cloud Sky Pavilion.
Even with Li Xiaonan's current cultivation level, it took him nearly ten days to arrive.
The so-called Dragon Valley was actually a green planet covered in dense jungles and strange plants that filled the valleys.
Li Xiaonan hovered in mid-air, looking around. He saw three green mountains surrounding a flowing stream in between them.
Not far away stood a towering black peak that gave an inexplicable sense of eeriness.
Li Xiaonan swept his divine sense across the area and couldn't help but feel delighted.
Mo Li hadn’t returned yet, but Mozi was here.
That made everything much easier.
