Chapter 300: "My Drama Queen Senior Sister"
Mo Xian was precisely Liu Ningyun's eldest senior sister. In terms of appearance, her name truly suited her—her skin was like snow and jade, and her ink-black gown made her brilliant complexion appear even more breathtakingly radiant.
Her hair was like rolling clouds, her lips vermilion, her teeth pearl-white.
As Liu Ningyun's eldest sister disciple, she was perhaps a fraction superior in comeliness, earning her the illustrious moniker of the Ink Fairy.
Although the disciples of the Nanhua Sect, led by Mo Xian, enjoyed a widespread reputation for beauty, they rarely ventured beyond their sanctuary. Even when they stepped outside, their movements were confined to a strict radius; the rest of their time was spent either in deep seclusion within the sect or whispering slanders into their master's ear. They belonged to that breed of cloistered cultivators who dwelt long within prestigious sects, utterly ignorant of the hardships of the mortal world.
At that moment, Fang Qi was engaged in a cross-regional transaction at the counter, leaving Zou Mo to wander aimlessly about. Suddenly, the youth froze slightly. "It seems... there is someone outside?"
His eyes widened a fraction. "Or perhaps... no one? Am I being too sensitive?"
Suddenly, his eyes snapped wide open, and he pointed out the door. "Bo... Boss, look outside..."
"What's wrong out there?" Fang Qi followed his gaze and looked toward the entrance, suddenly seeing what appeared to be snowflakes drifting down.
Upon closer inspection, it was not snow at all, but countless pinkish-white flower petals!
Through the glass door, petals could be seen fluttering wildly, drifting and swirling with the gentle breeze as if a rain of blossoms had been conjured.
Just then, several graceful silhouettes could be seen slowly descending from the sky.
"This person brings their own special effects for an entrance?!" Fang Qi was momentarily dumbfounded. "Who is that?"
"So ethereal!" Zou Mo stared out the door with a stunned expression, watching as a group of white-robed female cultivators clustered around an exquisitely beautiful woman clad in an ink-black gown, descending outside the shop.
A single point of ink amidst a sea of white—the contrast perfectly highlighted the woman in the black dress, making her exceptionally conspicuous!
Two female cultivators pushed open the grand doors, followed by two others bearing flower baskets; with a wave of their slender hands, petals flew and fell. Fang Qi was instantly mesmerized. "Manual special effects?!"
Not only did they bring their own special effects, they even brought their own background music!
Fang Qi saw four more female disciples behind them, cradling qins, se zithers, and pipas in their arms. A tinkling, melodious sound rang out as they entered the shop!
Coupled with the fact that the central woman in the black gown was already beautiful beyond measure, and the other female cultivators were by no means lacking in comeliness, the elaborate presentation made it seem as though a celestial fairy had descended from the heavens to grace the shop.
"How beautiful!"
"To think that in this little shop, one could encounter such a beauty!"
Everyone near the entrance of the shop was involuntarily drawn to the sight, letting out a chorus of startled gasps.
The inner thoughts of the maidens: "They are mesmerized!"
"We came well-prepared; from the very start, we have seized the upper hand in terms of presence!"
"Look at those people inside!"
Witnessing the reactions of the customers, a smirk of satisfaction played at the corner of Mo Xian's lips. In terms of talent, she might not match Liu Ningyun, but in terms of appearance, she naturally refused to yield to anyone!
At this moment, her heart was already swelling with pride.
In her mind, she had already rehearsed the scene that was about to unfold:
Cold and proud as frost, her overbearing aura looking down upon the world, hands behind her back, her posture rivaling an immortal who had ascended to divinity: "With but a single move, you are no longer a match for me. Do you submit or not?"
Boss Fang would bow in submission: "I submit! The Ink Fairy's magical power is boundless, her fame shakes the Morning Star!"
"Hmph! At least you know what's good for you. Since that is the case, this fairy shall spare you this once. Do not cross me again!"
"..."
Having played out the script in her mind, Mo Xian walked to the counter with an icy expression, her cold gaze sweeping across the room as if the entire shop could freeze over at her command.
"Which of you is the boss?" Her voice was piercingly cold.
Yet all around her, there was absolute silence.
No one answered her; the entire surroundings seemed to fall dead silent in an instant.
Turning her head, she saw a row of black-robed cultivators to her left. The man at the head wore a heavy black cloak, his long hair draping over his shoulders, his face grim and cold, and his eyes gleaming with an utterly chilling, murderous light!
The row of black-robed cultivators behind him possessed equally profound and heavy auras, looking for all the world as though they had walked straight out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, their entire bodies radiating a sinister, heart-stopping malice!
Turning her head to the right, she beheld a middle-aged cultivator in a deep blue, loose-fitting robe with a broad forehead. His expression was stern and solemn, his eyes slightly squinted. The middle-aged man beside him wore a smile, yet for some reason, this smile made one's skin crawl even more.
It was like the mocking smile of an ancient, predatory beast locking its gaze onto its prey.
"Hmm?" A look of displeasure crossed Mo Xian's face, and she let out a cold snort. "The people in this shop are remarkably rude!"
In an instant, the immense pressure of her True Lake Realm cultivation pressed down upon the surrounding crowd.
Beside her, Zou Mo felt as though a massive mountain had suddenly slammed down upon him, the heart-stopping aura instantly making him feel suffocated!
"Bo... Boss!" Zou Mo said with great difficulty. "This person is so powerful..."
The corners of Mo Xian's lips curved slightly. "Merely this much."
Only then did she look at Fang Qi. Seeing him unmoved, she was slightly surprised. However, after sensing his cultivation—which had not even reached the Grand Martial Grandmaster level—she was instantly disappointed. "Little brother, was it by a stroke of luck that you defeated my worthless junior sister? Now that this fairy has arrived in person, it is not too late for you to apologize."
"Huh?" Fang Qi blanked out.
"Hmm?!" Mo Xian's face darkened with displeasure. Why did it feel like something was amiss?
In the next breath, the auras of everyone around them suddenly erupted, skyrocketing violently!
The row of black-robed figures to the left instantly raised their presence, several among them possessing cultivations that had already reached the peak of the True Lake Realm!
As for the cultivator in the heavy black cloak at the lead, his cultivation had reached...
"The Divine Sea Realm?!"
Immediately following, the middle-aged man in the loose blue robe to the right, along with the individuals beside him, experienced a similar explosion in their auras!
"Another Divine Sea Realm?!"
"Kid Fang, who is this girl?" Mo Tianxing looked over with some bewilderment, releasing a fraction of his aura.
"Yet another Divine Sea Realm?!"
"So many Divine Sea Realms!"
The crowd of Nanhua Sect female cultivators suddenly felt a chill strike their hearts!
They were used to being pampered and respected within the Nanhua Sect, but this was not their sect.
Seeing so many grand cultivators, their hearts instantly sank to the bottom.
"That person's gaze is so fierce..."
"Eldest Senior Sister... I've heard that the people of Half-City are all fiends who kill without blinking. Could we..."
"Stop talking... it was fine until you said it, but now that you have..."
"Should we perhaps just go outside..."
"Eldest Senior Sister, you are different from us. You bear the great dream of defeating that little wench Liu Ningyun. You must persevere!"
"You absolutely cannot admit defeat!"
"Keep it up, Eldest Senior Sister!"
Mo Xian nodded, gritting her teeth as she said, "They are merely Divine Sea Realm cultivators!"
Beside them, the Black Demon spoke in a frigid tone: "Do you not know the rules?! Go to the back and line up!"
"Oh..."
The other female cultivators instantly lost their nerve and scurried to the back to form a long queue.
Mo Xian: "..."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he shuffled to the back of the queue.
