Chapter 285: Ning Xueluo and An Buyu

“Ah… The air in the Ancient Martial World is still so fresh!”

After registering at the entrance, Wang Haoran, Ning Xueluo, and Zhu Nan stepped through the portal into the Ancient Martial World.

In an instant, a landscape completely different from the outside world appeared before them.

Though the architecture was of traditional ancient styles, the clothing of the people varied widely, from classic to modern.

Some even rode bicycles.

Of course, upon arriving at Tianyuan Town within the Ancient Martial World, one needed to report to the management of the Three Great Sacred Grounds, much like passing through customs.

Only then could they move about freely.

After leaving the registration office, Wang Haoran planned to head directly to Ruian City.

Although the air was fresh, the level of industrialization was very low, with no cars or buses.

To travel, they had to either walk or take a horse-drawn carriage.

Fortunately, both Wang Haoran and Zhu Nan were prepared with enough silver coins, so they planned to hire a carriage to Ruian City.

The journey wasn’t too far, taking about three hours.

As they sought a carriage service,

They were suddenly stopped by someone.

Seeing who it was, Wang Haoran was exasperated.

“Luo Luo, you really jinxed it!”

“……”

Ning Xueluo was equally frustrated to see the veiled woman standing before them.

She hadn’t expected to be stopped by this Asura Demon Ghost right after returning to the Ancient Martial World!

This went beyond just having well-connected informants!

“An Buyu, what do you want?”

“Nothing much, just curious why you suddenly went to the outside world.”

An Buyu looked keenly at Ning Xueluo and the man and woman beside her.

A few months ago, while passing through Tianyuan Town, An Buyu had learned from the guards that “Falling Snow Fairy” Ning Xueluo had ventured outside.

Knowing Ning Xueluo for so long, she naturally became curious about her reasons for leaving.

So, she asked the guards to notify her immediately upon Ning Xueluo’s return.

And now, seeing Ning Xueluo being intimate with a man left An Buyu in shock.

She knew how cold Ning Xueluo’s personality was.

Over the years, countless men had pursued her, but she hadn’t looked at any of them.

“Ning Xueluo, you didn’t go out just to find a man, did you?!”

“What do you think?”

Ning Xueluo hugged Wang Haoran’s arm tightly, smiling.

“Can’t I look for a man?”

“…Uh… It’s not that you can’t, just… it’s so sudden… I can’t process it…”

Hearing this, Wang Haoran was speechless: “……”

Why did An Buyu phrase it so strangely?

No way, I just dealt with one Fu Xue, and now it’s your turn to covet my Luo Luo?

You were perfectly straight the last I checked?!

Actually, An Buyu’s inability to “process” things stemmed from seeing how drastically Ning Xueluo had changed—embracing a man with a joyful smile. It was so different from before that she couldn’t believe it.

She had no romantic interest in Ning Xueluo. If anything, they were respected rivals born from their constant clashes.

Of course, this was just her personal assumption.

Facing Ning Xueluo’s drastic change, An Buyu had to ask more questions.

Ning Xueluo patiently answered.

She even kissed Wang Haoran in front of An Buyu.

“What do you think, do we look compatible?”

“…Compatible…”

Seeing Ning Xueluo flaunting her lover like a giddy schoolgirl, An Buyu was speechless.

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined the Falling Snow Fairy would turn into this!

Honestly, Wang Haoran’s appearance did suit Ning Xueluo. But she wasn’t sure about his strength.

In the Ancient Martial World, power was crucial.

Seeing how deeply in love Ning Xueluo seemed, An Buyu decided against her long-awaited duel.

Just then, Ning Xueluo spoke up.

“An Buyu, it’s been ages since we last fought, hasn’t it?”

“…? You sure?”

“Sure!”

An Buyu was taken aback.

Usually, she wanted to fight while Ning Xueluo refused. Now it was the other way around?

So getting a man changes you this much?!

But, with Ning Xueluo suggesting it, how could she refuse?

“Fine, let’s find an open area outside the town!”

With that,

The four of them headed out of the town.

On the way, Wang Haoran quietly muttered to Ning Xueluo who clung to his arm.

“Luo Luo, since when did you get cunning? Hiding your strength!”

“You trying to teach her a lesson?”

Ning Xueluo smiled, “Exactly! Husband, didn’t you say if An Buyu caused trouble, we’d beat her together!”

“So now I’m being considerate, worried you’d hesitate. So I’ll handle it myself!”

“…Alright, just be careful not to kill her…”

“Hehe, got it!”

Soon, they reached an open field outside the town.

An Buyu, always eager to fight, was ready.

However, she still didn’t remove her veil.

Wang Haoran knew, although An Buyu had a voluptuous figure and beautiful big eyes inviting thoughts of a stunning visage beneath…

In truth, taking off the veil…

One might get used to it eventually, but Wang Haoran had been startled the first time seeing her without it.

Ning Xueluo, seeing An Buyu readying her sword, finally let go of Wang Haoran’s arm and stepped forward.

“An Buyu, let’s go!”

An Buyu frowned, “Aren’t you going to draw your sword?”

“No need!”

With that, Ning Xueluo attacked.

Her speed shocked An Buyu, who hastily raised her sword to defend.

Only for Ning Xueluo to easily catch it.

“…You… you’ve reached Grandmaster level?!”

Seeing Ning Xueluo catch her sharp blade barehanded without injury, instead freezing the blade with a layer of ice, An Buyu’s eyes widened.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ning Xueluo disarmed her.

Then placed the sword at An Buyu’s neck.

“…I’ve lost.”

Despite her unwillingness, An Buyu had no choice but to concede.

She could never defeat the just-advanced Grandmaster-level Ning Xueluo as a mere peak Transformation stage.

How absurd—the former underdog Ning Xueluo had surpassed her with a trip outside!

She was defeated in a single move!

Seeing her dejected, Ning Xueluo returned the weapon, hinting.

“Since you’ve conceded, don’t disturb me and my husband again!”

“Understood?”
