Things were fine until the question was asked.
The mont it was, Ruan Lan's tears nearly fell. It hit her that she had been single since birth, having never experienced the affection between a man and a woman.
Oh, heavens above! Can't you just grant a good man? If not a good man, then give a little fairy... no, a group of little fairies would be fine too! I'll take good care of them.
BANG!
A loud roar echoed from above. Sothing plumted from the sky and crashed heavily onto the back mountain of Mount Haitang. In a fleeting glimpse, Ruan Lan saw what looked like a massive teorite.
GULP.
Ruan Lan swallowed hard.
No way, no way... Did the heavens actually send sothing and even express-deliver it to my doorstep? But is it a he or a she? Tall or short? If it's a fairy, is she as buxom as...
At this thought, Ruan Lan choked up with a pang of sorrow. She probably is.
"Co on, let's go check out the back mountain!" Ruan Lan grabbed her niece's hand and bolted toward the rear of the mountain.
When they arrived, they saw it was indeed a huge teorite with a diater of a full ten ters. Logically speaking, a teorite of this size falling to Earth should have wiped out the entire planet, or at least half of East Sea City. However, when the rock smashed into the back mountain of Haitang Court, there was only a single loud bang.
And then... nothing.
The huge rock settled securely in the back mountain, looking as if it had always been there.
This teorite has no style, Ruan Lan muttered. But what's... inside?
A beautiful, sleeping fairy sealed within the teorite was a flight of fancy on Ruan Lan's part. She knew it was impossible; anyone with a bit of common sense would.
"So there's only one truth!" Yiyi's eyes sparkled.
"What is it?" Ruan Lan looked over seriously.
"Inside is more teorite."
"..."
My niece has a point.
The ten-ter-diater teorite was fiery red, as if it had been scorched by flas, and was scorching hot to the touch.
"Yiyi, you go take a look." Ruan Lan held the Formation Chessboard. Dozens of Defensive Arrays appeared around her and Xu Yiyi, including a primary Starlight Array for defense. With these arrays in place, even a Divinity Transformation Realm expert would struggle to break through, and they could even block an attack from a Divine Bridge Realm powerhouse for an instant.
"..."
Xu Yiyi was dumbfounded.
Isn't my aunt being a little *too* cautious? Dad is still at ho. What demon or evil spirit would dare cause trouble in Haitang Court?
Before the little girl could step forward, the teorite cracked open on its own, sending up billowing mist and rosy clouds. Inside, an enormous, transparent ice crystal was revealed. The crystal was flawless, like millennia-old ice from Earth's polar regions.
With a single glance, Ruan Lan and Xu Yiyi both gasped. Within the ice crystal was a dazzling golden head! It wasn't human, but belonged to a Demonic Beast. It resembled the head of an ox and radiated a terrifying aura. The three horns on its head, each about five ters long, made it look even more majestic!
"The Triangle Gold Bull."
A groggy yet cheerful voice called out from the pond. Bai Xue, who had been in the pond, suddenly stood up. Her snow-white body, shimring with an enchanting luster in the sunlight, was... completely nude!
Ruan Lan quickly covered Yiyi's eyes. "Yiyi, you're too young to look!"
Then she glanced over with a touch of envy. Bai Xue's figure is just too good. She's almost on my level.
It was a good thing Xu Yiyi didn't hear that, or she would have definitely mocked her aunt for being so narcissistic.
BANG.
Bai Xue's delicate fist landed lightly on the ice crystal. Instantly, the giant block of ice shattered into countless fragnts, which transford into dense Spiritual Energy and were absorbed by Mount Haitang.
With a flick of Bai Xue's finger, the enormous ox head leisurely floated to the edge of the pond. The golden head was even more dazzling under the sunlight.
"What is this thing?" Ruan Lan's brows furrowed.
"A Triangle Gold Bull." Bai Xue gently caressed the golden horns and marveled, "It can conceal the secrets of heaven, making it undetectable even by the Immortal Domain's Heavenly Dao."
Seems like a pretty good item, Ruan Lan mused.
"Naturally." Bai Xue explained, counting on her fingers, "The Triangle Gold Bull is born from heaven and earth. It doesn't enter the cycle of reincarnation and is incapable of cultivation. From a hundred eons until now, there have been no more than ten in total, making them even rarer than those at the Emperor Realm."
"Then how did it end up here?" Xu Yiyi asked innocently from behind her aunt's hand.
It was, of course, because of Daoist Qingfeng. I never imagined Xu Lai would be willing to give such a treasure of heaven and earth to help survive the impending Emperor Desolation Era.
However, Xu Lai hadn't done this for Bai Xue, but for his wife and daughter. The Triangle Gold Bull's protection didn't just cover the pond or Mount Haitang, but the entire planet. From this day forward, Earth would be completely off the grid, no longer under the jurisdiction and surveillance of the Immortal Domain's Heavenly Dao.
This would be the safest place in the Immortal Domain, bar none.
Seeing that Bai Xue didn't answer, Ruan Lan didn't press the issue. She coughed and changed the subject. "Bai Xue, where are the clothes I bought you?"
"They're in my Storage Space. I folded each one and put them away carefully." Bai Xue had a 'please praise ' expression on her face, but her stunning chest trembled with the unconscious movent.
"You must wear clothes from now on, especially in front of my brother-in-law and other stinky n!"
"To us Spirit Plants, the body is just a shell. It doesn't really matter if we wear clothes or not."
"It's not the sa!" Ruan Lan's beautiful eyes widened. "Go back and get dressed, or I won't be so nice to you anymore."
"..."
Bai Xue wasn't afraid of Ruan Lan not being nice to her. The only things she feared now were the Supre Emperor and the coming Emperor Desolation Era, in which many, many people would die.
Still, she replied, "Mmm-hmm."
"Right, co sleep in my room tonight. Let touch... ahem, let's talk all night long."
"Alright."
For so reason, I feel like there's sothing strange about Ruan Lan's gaze, as if she wants to eat . Bai Xue didn't dwell on it. Many have wanted to devour , but not a single one has succeeded, not even those at the Emperor Realm.

The Immortal Domain had recently been thrown into chaos, especially the Southern Immortal Domain.
The fall of more than a dozen Immortal Venerables, the various Holy Lands closing their Sect Gates, and the collapse of the Snowflower Forbidden Grounds after the three Snowflowers vanished—all these major events, happening one after another, gave rise to all sorts of rumors.
The most widespread rumor was that all of this was connected to the Supre Emperor.
There was, in fact, evidence to support this suspicion. Looking across the Immortal Domain, who else had the power to level the three Snowflower Forbidden Grounds? And who else could make those ancient Tao Lineages, so with histories stretching back dozens of eons, keep silent about the deaths of their Immortal Venerables?
There was only one person.
The Supre Emperor, Xu Qingfeng!
As the rumors spread far and wide, the fact that Holy Lands like the Divine Thunder Pavilion did not co forward to deny them only served to confirm the theory. In an instant, the Supre Emperor's fa once again spread throughout the entire Immortal Domain.
In a remote corner of the Immortal Domain, an old man sat withered on a lonely boat. Beneath the boat flowed a yellow river, its bottom lined with deep blue sand.
The old man's eyes suddenly blazed with a brilliant light. "The Snowflowers have combined. It's ti to harvest."
He began to calculate with his fingers, then abruptly froze.
