Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor
Chapter 2413: This Immortal Loves Female Immortals Like Her Most
"What? You want me to form a fake immortal couple with Linghu Fairy?"
When Moon Sea Fairy revealed the entire context of the marriage proposal to Fang Bai, Fang Bai immediately jumped up, his emotions visibly excited.
"Wushuang Immortal King, calm down... calm down..."
Seeing that Fang Bai was about to lose control, Moon Sea Fairy hurriedly soothed him, "The Golden Wing Immortal King from Chaos Heaven Sect has a vile character. If Qian Jiao were to form an immortal couple with him, it would undoubtedly be a disaster. To relieve this pressure from Chaos Heaven Sect and escape the entanglement of the Golden Wing Immortal King, we had no choice but to take this step. We ask Wushuang Immortal King to consider the moral obligation within the Immortal Realm and help Qian Jiao..."
After a pause, she continued, "After this matter is resolved, we will give Wushuang Immortal King a sum of cultivation resources as compensation... Rest assured, the cultivation resources will be very substantial, and you will not be on the losing end."
Fang Bai shook his head like a rattle, waving his hands and repeatedly saying, "No, no! I came specifically for Linghu Fairy, and it’s a must to form an immortal couple with Linghu Fairy! No matter how much cultivation resources, I won’t be interested!"
Linghu Qian Jiao frowned slightly and said faintly, "Wushuang Immortal King, I have had an immortal partner for many years. So, please give up this thought!"
Fang Bai looked at Linghu Qian Jiao, with a captivated expression, "No! I won’t give up! From the first sight of Linghu Fairy, I was drawn to her unparalleled beauty, and I’ve vowed that in this life I must form an immortal couple with Linghu Fairy. No immortal, no force can stop me..."
Moon Sea Fairy noticed the sincerity of Fang Bai’s feelings, not pretending, and felt even more distressed.
She initially hoped to sway Fang Bai with substantial cultivation resources, causing him to retreat and leave Moon Sea Sect voluntarily, but unexpectedly encountered a passionate individual.
"If he remains unmoved and insists on forming an immortal couple with Qian Jiao, what should be done?"
Moon Sea Fairy had a troubled look on her face, contemplating whether she should resort to desperate measures like other Immortal Sects and Immortal Gates and ruthlessly eliminate Wushuang Immortal King?
Yet, if Wushuang Immortal King were to be killed, the marriage proposal scheme could not proceed. Once Golden Wing Immortal King finds out that Linghu Qian Jiao has lost her immortal partner, he would certainly return to pester Linghu Qian Jiao.
If that happens, all they have done so far would be in vain.
So they must figure out a way to have Wushuang Immortal King stay temporarily.
"Wushuang Immortal King, as long as you give up forming an immortal couple with Qian Jiao, you can propose any other conditions! How does that sound?"
Moon Sea Fairy gritted her teeth and said.
In her eyes, the survival of the sect was paramount, and as long as Wushuang Immortal King was willing to continue playing the part in this charade, even offering him the position of Deputy Sect Master of Moon Sea Sect would be worth it.
Moreover, in the long run, if she could retain this Wushuang Immortal King with the Deputy Sect Master’s position, it would only benefit Moon Sea Sect with no downsides.
"It’s fine not to form an immortal couple with Linghu Fairy, but you must promise me one condition."
Fang Bai thought for a moment and said.
"What condition?"
Moon Sea Fairy was overjoyed, thinking that Wushuang Immortal King must want more cultivation resources. Although the Moon Sea Sect’s foundation was not as rich as those top sects, they still had treasures beneficial for immortals’ cultivation, and if Wushuang Immortal King asked, they could offer him some.
Linghu Qian Jiao noticed Wushuang Immortal King’s focused gaze on her and instinctively thought that his condition would have nothing to do with cultivation resources. She wanted to prevent her master from agreeing, but was too late as Moon Sea Fairy had already consented.
Fang Bai sighed and said, "I fell in love at first sight with Linghu Fairy, and though unable to form an immortal couple with her, I wish to stay by her side, even if it’s just to see her each day. So, let me be an Elder of Tribute at Moon Sea Sect."
"This..."
Moon Sea Fairy did not expect Fang Bai to make such a request, feeling quite surprised.
According to Moon Sea Fairy’s thoughts, with Wushuang Immortal King’s ability and potential, staying at Moon Sea Sect as an Elder of Tribute would certainly be a great advantage, which was exactly what she hoped for.
However, allowing Wushuang Immortal King to remain at Moon Sea Sect, if he continually watches Linghu Qian Jiao, or worse, harasses her, would not be something Moon Sea Fairy wished to see.
Thus, considering Linghu Qian Jiao’s attitude, despite Moon Sea Fairy’s willingness to have Fang Bai as an Elder of Tribute, she did not immediately agree.
"Master, agree to his request!"
Linghu Qian Jiao, being an extremely intelligent fairy, naturally perceived that Moon Sea Fairy and the other sect members were intrigued by Fang Bai’s proposal, so she said softly.
Previously, the affair of the marriage proposal made Linghu Qian Jiao feel somewhat apologetic towards Moon Sea Sect, so this moment, her agreement to let Fang Bai stay served as a kind of repayment to the sect.
And letting Wushuang Immortal King stay would also announce to the outside world that she already had an immortal partner, thus deterring Chaos Heaven Sect’s pressure on the sect and Golden Wing Immortal King’s harassment towards her.
Linghu Qian Jiao thought to herself that after Wushuang Immortal King stayed at Moon Sea Sect, she would minimize encounters with him. Even if they met, as long as he didn’t overstep, she would endure.
Moon Sea Fairy had not anticipated Linghu Qian Jiao’s readiness to agree to keep Fang Bai, her heart eased, joyfully saying, "Alright! Alright! Then let Wushuang Immortal King stay in our sect as an Elder of Tribute!"
Then she said earnestly, "However, the sect has its rules, and we hope that Wushuang Immortal King will not commit actions that violate sect rules in the future. Otherwise... Our Sect Master will treat everyone the same, without leniency."
Her implication was a warning to Fang Bai not to act excessively towards Linghu Qian Jiao.
Fang Bai smiled nonchalantly, clasping fists towards Linghu Qian Jiao and said, "Thank you Linghu Fairy for the shelter. It is said that sincere efforts can open any heart. I believe that as long as I spend more time with Linghu Fairy, she will definitely open her heart to me and agree to form an immortal couple."
Linghu Qian Jiao chuckled lightly, giving him a distant look.
Fang Bai found it amusing, feeling that his disguise and encounter with Linghu Qian Jiao were quite intriguing, deciding not to reveal his identity, and said firmly, "Linghu Fairy, the way you keep me at arm’s length pains me greatly! But I am not one to give up easily on you!"
"Master, elders and stewards, I have matters to attend to, excuse my departure..."
Linghu Qian Jiao, disinterested in Fang Bai’s chatter, rose to bid Moon Sea Fairy and the senior members goodbye and turned to leave.
Fang Bai was not upset, watched Linghu Qian Jiao’s departing figure with interest, and said to Moon Sea Fairy and the Moon Sea Sect members, "Unexpectedly, Linghu Fairy has such character, haha, I love such fairies!"
Moon Sea Fairy and the senior members exchanged looks, shook their heads with a wry smile, wondering if leaving this Wushuang Immortal King in the sect was right or wrong.
This Wushuang Immortal King, while young in immortal age, seemed quite thick-skinned, and he might prove challenging to regulate within the sect. It seemed future troubles awaited the senior members.
