Chapter 218: 218: The Salted Fish was Persuade.

Pretending not to understand her grandfather's words, Yue Xuexia's salted fish nature was now exposed. She would usually be busy going around doing her business all day, but that was only because it was inevitable for her not to work. Not working means her family might nag her to go on a blind date, in which she is not interested at all.

As a salted fish who was afraid of getting married, Yue Xuexia tried to ignore the old man whispering nothing useful at all. The old master of the Xia Clan wanted to ask his most powerful descendant of their Xia Clan.

"Little girl, at least show your face once!"

"Do it for this old man! Those other sects are saying that the Xia Clan is nothing but just a wealthy clan. Except for me and Elder Kun, there were no worthy opponents in the Xia Clan!"

"Who are they to say that to his old man!? If not for a different generation, I would beat up that bastard to death."

Sigh~

Yue Xuexia said, "Isn't there the Tan Clan?"

"That old man from the Tan Clan said he only listens to your command and doesn't serve the Xia Clan, but serves Yue Xuexia~ That damn old tanuki!" shouted Grandpa Xia, who is recalling his conversation with this bad friend of his, Tan Huangyu.

Yue Xuexia suggested, "How about giving up, gramps?"

"Nonsense! Don't you know how effective the flesh of the sea monsters is for cultivation; even the blood can be used to nourish the babies in our clan!" Grandpa Xia said.

Yue Xuexia mumbles, "But I'm too lazy to move~"

"That's why I am telling you to just show your face! I'm not asking you to fight them!" retorted the childish old man.

Yue Xuexia dazedly said, "If I am only showing myself, how can that show our clan's strength?"

Then her eyes wonder at Taiyang, who just got back from the kitchen and grabbed a gallon of ice cream, and then on Tan Bingyu, you took another slice of cheesecake, this time with Oreos on it. There is also Shen Jueyang, who is pretending to be an air as he kills off her grandfather's piece on the board.

"Ah! Time out! I was talking to Xue'er just now!" said Grandpa Xia.

Shen Jueyang said, "Old man, you are the one who said no timeouts before the game."

"Agh~ One more game, the last one!" said Grandpa Xia.

Sigh!

Shen Jueyang said, "You've said it for the third time, old man!"

"Eh? Is that so?" said Grandpa Xia, pretending to be forgetful.

But as a cultivator with a high realm of cultivation, he can easily regress to his youth. But he is not doing so for Grandma Hialun's sake; this old man doesn't want his wife to feel that they are from a different world. He longed to stop aging after reaching his late twenties.

Yue Xuexia narrowed her eyes at her grandpa and said, "You wanted Sister Bingyu, Yangyang, and Shen Jueyang to move and carry our clan's name, don't you, Gramps?"

Once these words were asked, Grandpa Xia started sweating buckets; obviously, Yue Xuexia's words had struck him well. This is indeed his hidden plan. As long as these three make a move in the name of their Xia Clan, their family will definitely become famous.

"Come on, Xue'er. Let them win at least one fight!" said Grandpa Xia.

Yue Xuexia said, "Gramps don't bully the others too much."

But this dream was broken the moment Yue Xuexia told him about it. She actually didn't want the three to get affiliated with their family. Tan Bingyu is someone from a powerful cultivation clan. She had her own family to side with.

As for Taiyang and Shen Jueyang, she knew these two wouldn't stay in their mortal realm for quite long. What would they do if they were gone and the Xia Clan became hardheaded thanks to the support of these two powerful men? The possibility of their family being exterminated will be a matter of time.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Who is the strongest in the clan after you and Grandpa Kun?"

"Isn't that you?" Grandpa Xia said.

Yue Xuexia holds back her annoyance and ends up beating her own grandfather. She controlled her twitching face and said,

"The next one stronger after me?"

"That will be Ji'er and Ru'er, your sisters!" answered Grandpa Xia.

"What!? For real? What are their realms?" asked Yue Xuexia.

Grandpa Xia said, "Ji'er as the Early Stage Foundation Realm while Ru'er, she... she seems to have reached Peak Qi Refinement Realm about to reach the same strength as your second sister. They are both stronger than anyone in their generation and they've just recently cultivated. To reach that kind of strength, in just a few months, aren't they talented? They are all my granddaughters!"

The old man looks so proud of his granddaughters from the Yue family and doesn't notice that Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, and Shen Jueyang are looking at Yue Xuexia, who has reached Peak Qi Refinement in one go, skipped the foundation stage to reach Innateness, then Golden Core after fighting on the sea for a few days, and is now at Nascent Soul after almost dying ones. Everything had happened in a few months.

If compared to an ordinary cultivator in both the mortal and the cultivation realms, she is a monster that can be considered a genius even in the immortal realm. The kind that treats cultivation as easy as sleeping.

Her qi gets stronger every day the more she sleeps under the moonlight. She only needs to bask under the moon, and her realm will start to increase indiscriminately. Knowing that even Yue Xuexia is Grandpa Xia's granddaughter, they agree with his words about his granddaughters being monstrously talented in cultivation.

"Indeed, a monster," said Taiyang.

Beside him, Tan Bingyu and Shen Jueyang are nodding their heads. All three of them are looking at Yue Xuexia while backing up Taiyang's words.

Yue Xuexia said, "Hey! Don't look at me like that!"

"Oh, before I forgot to ask again. Xue'er, what's your current realm? Are you wearing a treasure on you? I can't see through your cultivation," said Grandpa Xia.

Tan Bingyu served him some tea. "This is newly brewed. Please have some Grandpa Xia."

"How kind of you! Thank you, Bingyu," said Grandpa Xia.

Yue Xuexia, who received a chocolate-flavored spiritual tea from Tan Bingyu, responded to Grandpa Xia's question.

"My realm? I should be at the early stage of the Yuanying realm (Nascent Soul)," said Yue Xuexia.

Grandpa Xia, who was about his tea, was a bit absent-minded and said, "Yuanying, I see. Keep up the good work. Hmm?"

Spurts!

Cough. Cough!

With a waterfall made of spiritual tea coming out of his mouth, Grandpa Xia looked at his granddaughter with eyes as if he were hearing things. The tea itself was so hot that he burned his lips, which now look so plump like those trending duck lips on the internet.

"Gramps, that's disgusting!" said Yue Xuexia as she saw how tea became a fountain, finally ending up as a waterfall.

The old man wiped his mouth vigorously and said it with great urgency.

"What is your cultivation realm again? I think this old man's age is getting on me," said Grandpa Xia.

Yue Xuexia repeated her words and said, "I told you I'm in the early Yuanying stage."

The old man stood up in disbelief and exclaimed, "Impossible! The last time you've only reached Innateness and gone to Golden Core after eating those sea monsters you caught before. How can you reach Yuanying in a few days!? You're lying!"

"Who are you calling a liar, Old Man!? I'm going to beat you up!" said Yue Xuexia as she finally revealed her aura as a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

Grandpa Xia protected Tan Bingyu, who possessed the lowest realm in the group, while staring at his eldest granddaughter in disbelief.

"Fuck! It's really Yuanying realm!!?" shouted the old master of the Xia family.

Taiyang commented, "She is about to reach the middle stage after just a week. Her physique is truly amazing. It is quite similar to yours. The only difference is her source of strength is the moon while yours is the sun."

"She should be able to break through to the middle stage after playing by the sea again," Shen Jueyang said.

Taiyang asked, "Are we going to?"

"You go. I need to interrogate those in the small world," said Shen Jueyang.

"Can't you go drop by for a few hours, then you can leave the rest to your siblings?" said Xia Lianyu.

Grandpa Xia had long grabbed his granddaughter and pleaded with her to come save the face of their family. Yue Xuexia only ended up coming because of her sisters.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Xiao Ji and Ruru are coming too?"

"Of course! Considering your ages and cultivation realms, without you around they can only be the leaders. They will be leading a group to the coastline acting as support," said Grandpa Xia.

A slight frown appeared on Yue Xuexia's face, and she said, "Support? Doesn't that mean they are only at the rear this whole time!?"

"This can't be blamed on me. Only a young generation in the Foundation realm can lead a group and fight near the frontlines. As for the ones in lead, they are cultivators at the age of your parents. They look down on young ones who act like they are the saviors of the world," said Grandpa Xia.

After thinking about this topic of going to the shore to fight a sea monster, Yue Xuexia gave up and finally agreed.

"I will only stay at the rear too! I won't be leading anyone."

"That's also okay. You just need to keep the other children safe tomorrow," said Grandpa Xia.
