Miss Loser is too enchanting

After taking some Elixir, she meditated in her room to restore her spiritual power. Just as she came out of her cultivation state, she heard a whining voice outside, "Master, master, are you there? Master, master, you can’t abandon Xiaoteng! Wuu, master..."

Listening to this crying, Dugu Qianye couldn’t help but have two black lines fall down her forehead. She opened the door and saw Dugu Yixuan holding Xiaoteng and heading towards her room.

As soon as Xiaoteng saw Dugu Qianye, the Vine Emperor stretched its vines to wrap around Dugu Qianye’s wrist, then retracted the vines from Dugu Yixuan’s body, rubbed its jocular face against Dugu Qianye’s arm, and said, "Master, master, Xiaoteng thought you didn’t want Xiaoteng anymore."

Dugu Qianye listened to Xiaoteng’s sobs without saying a word, letting it howl to its heart’s content.

"Master, leaving Xiaoteng all alone in such a far place, wuu, Xiaoteng almost couldn’t make it back..."

"Didn’t I tell you to go ahead first? You just didn’t hear me, did you?!" Dugu Qianye poked Vine Emperor’s little flower with her index finger. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Uh— it seemed like it really hadn’t heard her speak.

"You were only concerned about eating, completely forgetting your master once you had food. I didn’t even scold you, and yet you have the nerve to cry!" Dugu Qianye continued to scold as she watched Xiaoteng wilt down and then she stopped paying attention to it, turning to Dugu Yixuan and said, "Thank you, Father, for bringing it back."

Dugu Yixuan smiled and said, "Why are you being polite with me, silly child."

"Hehe," Dugu Qianye giggled, then remembering something, she said, "Dad, let’s go sit in the courtyard."

Dugu Yixuan nodded, and together they went to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Sitting behind Dugu Qianye, he said, "Now that these things are almost taken care of, when do you plan to hold a belated wedding ceremony for your mother?"

"Do you have any good ideas?" asked Dugu Yixuan.

"I think once the matters with the Divine Temple, Feng Family, and Ouyang Clan are settled, we can start preparing. When the time comes, you can escort Mother from the Mo Family to the Dugu Clan. We’ll have to prepare the bridal sedan and such, and also carefully discuss inviting guests with Grandpa, Grandma, Great-grandpa, and Great-grandma," Dugu Qianye thought aloud.

"Hmm, I will definitely give your mother a grand wedding," said Dugu Yixuan. "You need to help me think of some ideas, the best would be to give your mother a surprise."

"Okay," Dugu Qianye said with a smile.

Mo Qiufeng came to see Dugu Qianye and, seeing the father and daughter chatting in the courtyard, approached and asked, "What are you talking about? You seem to be having such a good time!"

"Hehe, guess!" Dugu Qianye said as she saw Mo Qiushui coming, and walked over to take her hand and lead her inside the pavilion.

"Hehe, how would I know what you’re talking about," Mo Qiushui laughed as she playfully scrunched Dugu Qianye’s nose, then sat down next to Dugu Yixuan, and said, "What secret are you talking about that’s making you so happy?"

"We’re talking about having Dad prepare a belated wedding ceremony for you!" Dugu Qianye said with a smile.

Mo Qiushui’s face turned red all of a sudden, she lowered her head and said, "Why are you bringing this up?"

"Just when I thought everything was settled, and I owe you a wedding ceremony for so many years, it’s also time to compensate you," Dugu Yixuan clasped Mo Qiushui’s hand, looking at her with tender affection.

Dugu Qianye coughed twice and said, "Dad, Mom, after you make up for the wedding ceremony, I will be leaving."

"Leaving? Qianye, where are you going?" Mo Qiushui hastily asked when she heard Dugu Qianye was leaving.

"To Fengwu Continent. Xiaohuo needs to go back to evolve," Dugu Qianye replied.

Xiaohuo was Dugu Qianye’s Lifesoul Contracted Beast, and she would definitely go all out for its needs. They had no excuse to stop her from going.

"When will you leave?" Dugu Yixuan asked.

"I’ll leave after your wedding ceremony," Dugu Qianye answered with a smile, "I’ll definitely attend dad and mom’s wedding before I leave."

"What about your grandfather and the others?" Mo Qiushui asked.

"Grandfather and the rest should stay here. It can be considered fulfilling the wishes of our ancestors for them to return to the main family. Moreover, bringing them directly up to the main family means they’ll live there in the future, which is quite good. After all, the Refining Demon Pot is not a place to stay in the long term; they also need to live in the sunlight," Dugu Qianye pondered and said, "I’ll discuss it with grandfather and the rest later."

"When will you come back?" Mo Qiushui asked again.

"I’ll come back once everything’s handled," Dugu Qianye responded.

She had initially thought she would return after Xiaohuo had completed its evolution, and then start living together as a family. Little did she know that once she left Yuling Continent, her return would become indefinitely delayed.

The showdown between the four major powers turned out as expected, yet unexpected. The Divine Temple’s power was stronger than the Mo Family’s, but the Dugu Clan had a bit more than the Ouyang Clan.

The battle exposed the Hidden World Families to the world, revealing to many that there were families of a higher echelon beyond the first and second-tier families.

Although Dugu Qianye’s powders helped, both the Mo Family and the Empire’s families paid a heavy price to take down the Divine Temple and the Ouyang Family. Many Spiritual Masters died in the battle, nearly everyone was injured or drained of Spiritual Power. However, they were relatively fortunate compared to facing extermination.

Some forces, seeing the Mo Family’s heavy losses in the battle, coveted to swallow their family business or assimilate the entire Mo Family. But the Alchemist Guild stood up in time, declaring to everyone on the Continent that anyone who dared touch the Mo Family, the Alchemist Guild would never refine an Elixir for them again. Even those not in the Alchemist Guild expressed their stance, Dugu Qianye was a person they respected, and if anyone dared to target the Mo Family, they were resolutely opposed!

Later, the Artifact Refiners Guild and the Spiritual Master Association also made their stance known. Anyone who dared to meddle with the Mo Family would be opposing both the Artifact Refiners Guild and the Spiritual Master Association!

Because of their firm support, those restless families and forces withdrew their ambitions, or the Mo Family would have had to deal with them after the great war instead of swiftly taking over the Feng Family’s and the Divine Temple’s properties and properly recuperating.

The Mo Family’s mansion was quickly rebuilt. The layout was almost the same as before, except for the absence of the plants in the yard.

In the following days, the Mo Family and the Dugu Clan began to distribute the properties of the Feng Family and the Divine Temple. Now that they were relatives by marriage, they roughly split those properties between them. Mo Zhenting and his people were also assigned to a second-tier city to establish a branch, managing their allocated share of properties.

The guards of the Mo Family, who had been training in the Refining Demon Pot, also came out. Their strength was now almost on par with the guards of the Yuling Continent, which was convenient for Mo Zhenting and the rest since they did not have to look for unfamiliar people to serve as guards. After all, they had just established their household, using the former guards was more familiar and handy.
