Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 855: Then Lu Yang’s Identity Is Obvious

Originally, the atmosphere was tense with the two female cultivators besieged, but the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s greeting shattered this impasse.

Hearing the two exceedingly intimate forms of address, the Xia Emperor stiffened abruptly. He stared incredulously at the jubilant “Lu Yang,” then turned to look at the two female cultivators who were being waylaid and robbed.

As renowned ancient half-immortals, portraits of Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi had long been circulated among the major factions. However, the appearance of these two female cultivators before him clearly differed from that of the two ancient half-immortals.

Could Lu Yang have mistaken them?

Or was he not calling Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi?

The two female cultivators found it odd upon hearing “Lu Yang” call out to them with unusually affectionate forms of address. Senior Brother Lu Yang would never address us like that.

Initially, the two had intended to relive their lifestyle in the ancient era, where they would disguise themselves as rogue cultivators to attend an auction, win the highlight lot, be targeted by plundering cultivators, and then reveal their astonishing identities just as the plundering cultivators were about to strike.

Now that Lu Yang had exposed their identities, there was no further need to maintain the disguises. The two women shed their disguises, revealing two peerlessly beautiful faces so exquisite that they could captivate one’s heart.

They were none other than Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

“You two...” The plundering cultivators who had acted out of greed now paled drastically, turning to flee.

However, how could there be any chance of escape before two half-immortals? A gigantic dragon claw phantom descended, slow yet impossible to evade. Several plundering cultivators were casually pressed into the ground by Ao Ling. Immobilized, their hearts were drowned in boundless terror.

After dealing with the minor underlings, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi walked over to Lu Yang and scrutinized him carefully. They hadn’t expected to encounter Lu Yang in the imperial city, and they vaguely sensed that the Lu Yang today was somewhat different.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy greeted them with a smile, startling Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi. Their pupils contracted, but the two soon broke into delighted smiles.

It’s Everlasting-jiejie!

“It’s really you!”

The two women affectionately linked arms with the Everlasting Immortal Fairy on each side. Onlookers could only envy “Lu Yang” for having two beauties in “his” arms.

“What are you two doing here?!” Jin Caiwei stared warily at Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi. These were the two people she least wanted to meet now, and she had run into both at once.

She focused all her attention on guarding against the two women to the point where maintaining her human form became challenging. Her eyes turned into vertical golden pupils, and two white tiger ears sprouted from her head. Baring her teeth, she revealed two small tiger fangs.

“Jin Caiwei! You’re still alive?” Earlier, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi had their attention wholly on the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Only now did they notice that Jin Caiwei was also here.

Believing that no one recognized her now, Jin Caiwei hadn’t disguised herself since leaving the Demon Region. She kept her original appearance, making her recognizable at a glance.

“Of course, I’m alive. Don’t think only you two have an Incipient Dao Fruit!” A white ferocious tiger with wings of bones on its back appeared behind Jin Caiwei. This was the manifestation of her true form—the White Qiongqi, an aberrant breed among qiongqi.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi were half-immortals who had fought their way through the ancient era. How could they fear Jin Caiwei, a flower grown in a greenhouse?

Ao Ling sneered. Behind her appeared a black dragon exuding a primordial, ancient aura. She looked down upon Jin Caiwei. “Oh? Then I shall see what substance your Incipient Dao Fruit has!”

Jiang Lianyi stepped forward. A phoenix phantom soared from a sea of flames, its cry echoing through the nine heavens.

The White Qiongqi, the Black Dragon, and the Golden Phoenix—three great ancient immortal beasts—gathered here, none yielding. The oppressive pressure from the Black Dragon and the Golden Phoenix clearly overshadowed the White Qiongqi’s.

A huge battle was on the verge of erupting.

The Transcendent Tribulation cultivator responsible for covertly protecting the Xia Emperor inwardly lamented his circumstances. What kind of situation is this? I had originally thought that His Majesty couldn’t possibly meet any danger in the imperial city. I was convinced it’d be a leisurely assignment. No one had told me that I would run into three great ancient immortal beasts contending in the imperial city!

Three half-immortals! And all with immortals backing them! I’m afraid even burning my lifeblood dry won’t suffice to protect His Majesty.

“Alright, alright, we’re all on the same side. Withdraw it, everyone.” Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy hurriedly interposed herself to halt the conflict.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi obediently withdrew the phantoms of their true forms. Jin Caiwei immediately felt the pressure reduce drastically and also withdrew her phantom, though the atmosphere remained tense.

“Little Ling, Lianyi, what are you doing here?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy grabbed their hands, smiling happily.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi’s cheeks flushed slightly. They were somewhat accustomed to hearing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s question and casually pointed at the plundering cultivators lying on the ground.

“Well, we wanted to experience life in the ancient era, so we came to the imperial city, found an auction, and randomly bought a few valuable items, thus drawing their attention.”

The plundering cultivators, firmly suppressed by the dragon’s oppressive pressure, were filled with regret. We didn’t check the almanac before going out today. How did we bump into these unparalleled, mighty experts when we were simply attempting a robbery?

What kind of life were you two living in the ancient era? Going to auctions? Are auctions such interesting places?!

“So that’s how it is.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy. She was the one who taught Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi the good habit of going to auctions to fish.

“Who told you we’re on the same side? Just who are you?!” Jin Caiwei stared at “Lu Yang.” With merely a single sentence, she could make the proud Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi voluntarily lower their guard. What exactly is this person’s identity?

The Xia Emperor was also astounded. He had long known that the sensational ancient Heavenly Court was fabricated by the Dao-Seeking Sect and that its founder was none other than Lu Yang. However, he was unaware of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s existence, simply assuming the Dou Heavenly Sovereign to be another identity of Yun Zhi.

As for Lu Yang knowing Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi, he wasn’t surprised. After all, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi had publicly admitted to being members of the ancient Heavenly Court.

What surprised him was how close Lu Yang’s relationship with Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi was. The two had practically glued themselves to him upon meeting, their attitudes very intimate.

If Jin Caiwei hadn’t interrupted them, they might have clung even more closely to him.

Jin Caiwei is an ancient qiongqi, so does that mean she’s the Qilin Immortal’s wife?

The Xia Emperor remembered Jin Caiwei rejecting his recruitment offer, and he now had an explanation for it.

“None of your business!” Jiang Lianyi shielded the Everlasting Immortal Fairy behind her, acting extremely protective, as if fearing Jin Caiwei might swallow her in one bite.

Jin Caiwei gazed intently at Lu Yang’s somewhat handsome face, recalling everything that had transpired prior.

Lu Yang referred to himself as “this immortal,” so he must be an immortal.

He is more familiar with ancient history than I am and is a firsthand witness who experienced it; he’s an ancient immortal.

This indicates that Lu Yang is definitely one of the Four Ancient Immortals.

He’s familiar with ancient history, yet he admitted I was the Qilin Immortal’s third wife.

He had held me before.

I don’t dislike Lu Yang; on the contrary, I feel a natural closeness to him.

He enjoys pretending to be mysterious.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi act intimately with Lu Yang, even to the point of complying with his every word.

Then the answer is obvious.

Jin Caiwei pointed at Lu Yang, somewhat indignant, but remembering him admitting that she was the third wife, she felt more joy, her voice rising several pitches.

“A’He, it’s you!”

The Qilin Immortal’s original name was Shihe.
