Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 71: Returning with a Full Load

In a secret realm, there was an ancient and dilapidated Taoist temple.

Inside the temple's rear hall, Cheng Yulan, dressed in a blue gown and with a beautiful appearance, was concentrating on comprehending a jade scroll in her hand. Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan was playing with ten newly finished jade divination sticks and three pieces of snowy white turtle shells covered in talismans. These were all refined from the materials obtained after killing a ten-thousand-year spirit turtle.

Not far away, Luo Wanqing, dressed in bright armor and radiating youthful vitality, sat by a blazing bonfire, staring intently at the two enormous single-horned lion camels on the grill. There were piles of spirit fruits and medicine next to her. Luo Huan was using a flying sword to prepare several silver-bearded spirit fish, each measuring about ten feet long, with their shiny golden scales scattered all over the ground.

At the entrance, two beautiful women dressed in black witch robes stood guard. They were the bodyguards arranged by the Ancient Witch Country for Luo Wanqing.

"...It's been so long, and we still haven't received any news from Junior Brother?" Cheng Yulan closed the jade scroll and raised her head to ask.

Xue Bingxuan shook her head. "We received a message from him more than half a month ago. It said that Third Junior Sister took him to an overseas immortal island to search for Divine Medicine resources. There are no cities of the Heavenly Human Race remnants there, so it's impossible for any news to come back. All we can do now is continue to wait."

In all the cities and settlements of the Heavenly Human Race remnants, there were inter-domain teleportation arrays that could be used for both teleportation and message transmission, as long as one could afford the high cost. Therefore, Xue Bingxuan and the other three women now knew that Qi Yalan and Qin Muling were together.

Luo Wanqing turned her head and glanced at her. "They are together, and you don't seem to be worried at all? You really can remain calm!"

Xue Bingxuan smiled. "Do we need to worry? Third Junior Sister is already close to the completion of the Immortal Transformation realm, and her combat power is stronger than all of us. Junior Brother is also someone with great fortune. If they act together, can't they ensure their own safety?"

Luo Wanqing's expression became annoyed. "You know that's not what I mean. Junior Brother and her are together day and night. What if she takes advantage of the opportunity and gets ahead of us? We agreed before that no one is allowed to take a bite!"

Cheng Yulan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, hesitating whether to speak or not, while Luo Huan continued to busy herself without saying a word.

Xue Bingxuan sighed. "What if she does succeed? The few of us will eventually follow Junior Brother. Who goes first and who goes later doesn't seem that important anymore, right?"

Luo Wanqing muttered, "You're so open-minded. I'm afraid that when we meet again in a while, Third Senior Sister will already be pregnant. Don't think she wouldn't do such a thing!"

Xue Bingxuan looked at her with some amusement. "So what? What are you going to do? Hang her up and beat her when we meet? Don't forget, this is the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. Even if such a thing really happened, it would be impossible for her to get pregnant."

Luo Wanqing's expression softened a bit. "You have a point. Then let it be like this! After the secret realm closes, I will definitely find Junior Brother first to take care of important matters. You all just don't compete with me."

Cheng Yulan smiled softly. "Don't forget your own identity, Princess of the Ancient Witch Country. Your father, the king, doesn't have many heirs besides you. They are mediocre and unpopular. So, you are counting on finding a capable husband to inherit the throne, right?"

"If you choose to follow Junior Brother, what will happen to your family's foundation? Are you going to let your cousins benefit?"

In most eras, the husband of a dynasty's princess was actually equivalent to a son-in-law, with limited status and influence. Especially when encountering a more dominant wife, they were basically just tools for procreation.

However, with Qin Muling's identity, it was absolutely impossible for him to become a son-in-law for the Ancient Witch Country. Unless the higher-ups of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace collectively went crazy, they would never allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, it could only be Princess Luo Wanqing who would marry into the Ancient Witch Country.

Luo Wanqing's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "That's not a problem. If my father really passes on that position to me in the future, I will give the throne to Junior Brother. Consider it my dowry!"

"..."

Xue Bingxuan and Cheng Yulan looked at each other speechlessly. This junior sister is really... She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's willing to use the entire Ancient Witch Country as her dowry just to please her junior brother. Won't your father, the king, be furious if he hears about it?

The two witches at the door coughed and had to speak up: "Your Highness, please be careful with your words."

"I know, you two just love to meddle!"

Luo Wanqing replied irritably and refocused her attention on the food in front of her.

After eating and drinking their fill, waiting for news from her junior brother, this is how the life of the little princess is now, simple and straightforward.

...

In the core area of Medicine Mountain.

The ground trembled slightly, and in an inconspicuous ancient cave, an immense and brilliant glow of rosy light suddenly spewed out. A large mass of purple clouds surged and rose, accompanied by faint thunderous sounds. The surrounding spiritual energy surged and churned, forming a huge vortex in mid-air.

After a moment, the sealed mountain rocks cracked open, and two figures bathed in the misty light walked out slowly.

After ten days and nights of seclusion, with the help of the Divine Medicine resources they had collected and the assistance of the Spiritual Light of Enlightenment, Qi Yalan's cultivation had improved again. The transformation of her immortal body was almost complete, and she would soon be able to begin the transformation and sublimation of her divine soul, as if she had reached the threshold of Immortal Ascension with one hand.

Qin Muling had already reached the third level of the Infant Formation realm, and there was still a large amount of essence from the Holy Medicine stored in her body that had not been fully absorbed and digested. With such rapid progress, perhaps the next major realm was not too far away.

Inside the spatial bracelets and rings on their bodies, there were still tens of thousands of Holy Medicine Divine Medicine. Unfortunately, despite searching the entire core area, the Heavenly Medicine that Qi Yalan had been longing for still hadn't appeared. The oldest Divine Medicine they found was only about five to six hundred thousand years old.

Qin Muling felt a little regretful, but of course, there was no need to rush. Just because it wasn't here didn't mean it didn't exist elsewhere, especially in the untamed wilderness areas where no one had ever set foot. There would definitely be more good things there.

"Alright, let's go back to Longyuan City now!"

Qi Yalan said to her junior brother, "Contact Senior Sister and the others to gather here, and at the same time, sell all the resources we don't need. We should be able to exchange for a lot of spots. Then we can let the elders who need the Divine Medicine to prolong their lives enter the secret realm."

Qin Muling had no objections to this. The number of spots to enter the Illusory Mist Secret Realm was limited, and they had already been allocated early on. However, as long as the price was right, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Human Race remnants could also make things convenient for them.

For example, exchanging resources. With the abundant harvest in Medicine Mountain, Qi Yalan was confident that she could bring back at least a hundred spots, plus a lot of other benefits.

The two of them returned along the same path, continuing to plunder along the way. Occasionally, they would encounter cultivators from other sects, especially some powerful Great Monsters. However, they were either engaged in a fierce battle, killing each other, or trapped in certain forbidden traps and unable to move.

Of course, there was nothing to say about this. Qi Yalan killed them all without mercy, not letting a single one go, and gained a fortune from their deaths.

When they reached the gate of Medicine Mountain, Qi Yalan controlled her flying sword and took off into the sky with her junior brother, quickly disappearing into the vast horizon.

The return journey was much faster, as they had enough Holy Medicine to replenish their mana and didn't need to worry about being intercepted. Therefore, Qi Yalan no longer held back, urging the flying sword to speed through the sky. In less than half a day, the outline of Longyuan City appeared in their sight.

After smoothly entering the city, the two of them chose to go to the Harmonious Treasure Pavilion to discuss the issue of trading spots with the Water Element Lord.
