Chapter 1065 1058: It's Just a Hairpin, Isn't It?
"Ah, forget it, Sister Bai Shuang. Anyway, the wedding isn't happening anytime soon. I'll drag it for as long as I can, but if worse comes to worst, I'll just close my eyes and marry, sacrificing these three hundred pounds of flesh."
The chubby Bai sighed heavily, his face showing a hint of helplessness as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shuang fell silent, her frosty eyes slightly narrowing, and she too sighed softly, evidently well aware of her family's predicament.
If it weren't for the combined suppression from those two major families, the Bai Family wouldn't have had to sacrifice and involve the little brother with the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association.
"Heh heh, it's okay, Sister Bai Shuang. We haven't reached that point yet, and besides, with Brother Qin around, we might not need to go ahead with this arranged marriage at all. As long as father can break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm within a month, our Bai Family's strength will be significantly enhanced."
The chubby Bai, seeing Bai Shuang also fall into silence, then shook his head, smiled, and comforted her.
"Him?"
Seeing the chubby Bai mention Qin Yang, Bai Shuang's beautiful eyes finally rested on Qin Yang, but initially, when Qin Yang stared at her, she already deemed him as one of those suitors enamored with beauty, having a poor impression of him.
"Yes, Sister Bai Shuang, Brother Qin Yang is very capable."
The chubby Bai nodded seriously and said.
"Little brother, what's the background of this Brother Qin Yang of yours?"
Bai Shuang knew her little brother's capabilities, so she did not take his claims of someone's excellence seriously. However, since Qin Yang entered her Bai Mansion, she had to inquire.
"I'm a loose cultivator,"
Qin Yang said lightly.
"Yes, Brother Qin Yang is a loose cultivator, but a very formidable one."
The chubby Bai said from the side.
"Oh."
Upon hearing Qin Yang and her little brother's words, Bai Shuang's tone was cool, and she nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Qin Yang furrowed his brows slightly, yet said nothing more, genuinely unable to comprehend where these beauties derived their arrogance from.
Bai Shuang's gaze suddenly shifted, landing on Bai Ruoxi's black hair.
"Huh? Ruoxi, where did you get this jade hairpin?"
Bai Shuang raised her fine eyebrows slightly and asked.
"Sister Bai Shuang, it was given to me by Brother Qin Yang. It's very beautiful."
The little girl spoke, taking the jade hairpin from her hair and handing it to Bai Shuang.
"Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure."
Upon receiving it, Bai Shuang's beautiful eyes narrowed as she immediately sensed something unusual about the jade hairpin, her face showing faint frostiness. She first glanced at Qin Yang, then at the little girl.
"You little girl, how could you accept such an expensive gift from a stranger upon your first meeting?"
Bai Shuang's voice carried a hint of coolness.
Upon hearing Bai Shuang's slightly admonishing cool voice, the little girl's pretty big eyes suddenly welled up with a hint of moisture, pouting slightly, and her fingers twisting at her collar, clearly feeling wronged.
"Sister Bai Shuang, Brother Qin Yang is not an outsider; I encouraged Ruoxi to accept it."
The chubby Bai said.
"Not an outsider? Have you known him for a long time?"
Bai Shuang's cool beautiful eyes turned to the chubby Bai, asking.
"Well... Sister Bai Shuang, I haven't known Brother Qin Yang for long, but I trust his character."
The chubby Bai said seriously.
"Hey, Miss Bai Shuang, right? I saw the little girl was cute, so I gave her a greeting gift, not you. Besides, it's just a hairpin, is it necessary for you to react like that?"
Upon hearing their conversation, Qin Yang furrowed his brow, his voice turning slightly cold.
"You...?!"
It seemed to be the first time she'd heard someone speak to her in such a tone. Bai Shuang's frosty face changed slightly, her cool eyes fixed on Qin Yang.
Beauty being spoiled makes Qin Yang reluctant to pay them any mind.
Qin Yang's right hand surged with a touch of suction, and the jade hairpin fell from Bai Shuang's hand into Qin Yang's hand.
Ignoring Bai Shuang, Qin Yang's gaze softened, resting on the little girl.
Seeing this, Bai Shuang's frosty face became even more icy cold. However, before she could say anything, she saw Qin Yang already placing the jade hairpin on Ruoxi's head.
"Here, little girl, wear this hairpin. It can provide protection and enhance your beauty. Wearing it will be beneficial for you."
As Qin Yang spoke, he gently placed the jade hairpin into her glossy hair.
"Let's go, Brother Bai."
Without sparing Bai Shuang another glance, Qin Yang spoke directly to the chubby Bai and then walked forward.
"Stop..."
As Qin Yang's demeanor caught Bai Shuang off guard, her cool eyes sparkled, her frosty face growing colder, just before she was about to call out to Qin Yang, she was interrupted by the sharp-witted chubby Bai.
"Sister Bai Shuang, we'll be going now with Brother Qin."
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, the chubby Bai quickly spoke to Bai Shuang and hurried to catch up with Qin Yang.
"Sister Bai Shuang, Brother Qin Yang seems to be a good person. His eyes are very clear, even when he looks at you, they remain clear. Besides, Brother Qin Yang is handsome, unlike those annoying suitors who pursue you."
The little girl tilted her head, blinking her big eyes, and said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shuang's frosty face showed little sign of thawing, but aside from the initial phase where he stared at her in a daze, afterwards, he appeared to be disdainfully indifferent toward her. Yet, she wasn't unfamiliar with this attitude.
"What do you know, little girl? People's hearts are hard to read."
Bai Shuang snorted slightly, pondering internally, that a loose cultivator like him casually bestowing a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure, claiming no ulterior motive.
Previously, cultivators have fawned over her brother to pursue her. However, the little girl has always been in the Bai Mansion, so there weren't many who fawned over her.
Qin Yang and the chubby Bai took a turn and disappeared from Bai Shuang and the little girl's sight.
"Brother Qin, you're bold. No one's ever dared speak to Sister Bai Shuang like that."
Seeing Bai Shuang and the little girl no longer able to see them, the chubby Bai gave Qin Yang a thumbs up, full of admiration.
In Celestial Cyan City, every cultivator who encountered Sister Bai Shuang was somewhat flattering or feeling self-conscious.
"Let's go."
Qin Yang felt speechless, having encountered many gorgeous women. Besides, in his heart, Sister Ruan was the most beautiful.
Two minutes later, the two arrived at the Bai Mansion's backyard, concealed behind trees, featuring a series of secluded courtyards.
Within the courtyards, various Spirit Flowers and Herbs were planted, exuding a faint fragrance.
In front of one courtyard, Qin Yang and the chubby Bai stopped.
"Brother Qin, you can stay in this courtyard, and mine is next to it."
The chubby Bai pointed to the courtyard in front and then to the adjacent courtyard, saying.
"Hmm, alright, it's quite tranquil here, the environment is nice."
Qin Yang nodded and smiled, feeling quite satisfied.
"Come, Brother Qin, let me show you around."
The chubby Bai said.
"Boo boo boo..."
Just as the chubby Bai finished speaking, several rumblings emerged from his stomach.
"Hungry, seems like I haven't eaten all day. Brother Qin, let's have dinner at the mess hall first."
The chubby Bai rubbed his belly, laughing as he spoke.
"Brother Bai, your cultivation should be at the Peak of the Immortal Master Realm. Later, let's go to the lakeside to cook some medicinal cuisine, and invite little Ruoxi too."
Qin Yang thought for a moment, smiling as he spoke.
"Is it the Wind Thunder Wolf King's medicinal cuisine?"
Upon hearing, the chubby Bai's eyes lit up instantly. It was Commander Level meat cuisine.
"Yes."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded.
