Chapter 34: The Wu Family’s Celestial Maiden

You You learned about the arrival of another celestial maiden at the Cheng Tian Pavilion on her second day there. This was the only other celestial maiden to appear in centuries, aside from herself. The Wu Family’s Celestial Maiden had shown her powers a decade earlier but delayed coming to select relatives. Now, after You You activated the Blessing Platform, the Wu Family rushed to send her—clearly trying to compete!

The Cheng Tian Pavilion announced both maidens would choose relatives together.

“Priest Ling, is this how your Feng Tian Pavilion treats our Noble Lady?” Yin Fan snapped, knowing the Wu Family was likely a powerful immortal clan. Prominent families would naturally favor the stronger side.

If two maidens had been announced earlier, they might have accepted it. But adding a rival last minute? Pure bullying!

Ling Qi admitted fault but shook his head. “We failed in our duty, but the Wu Family’s maiden is already en route. We can’t stop this.”

“You—” Yin Fan raised his fist.

“Yin Fan!” You You cut in. She was annoyed—a competitor could shrink her “shareholders”—but blamed the Wu Family, not just the Pavilion.

The Wu Family had hoarded their maiden for years, waiting for maximum gain. Now threatened by You You’s sudden rise, they acted. She couldn’t refuse the joint selection; this was a one-time chance, and her choice wouldn’t change the outcome.

Turning to Ling Qi, she said coolly, “I’ll agree, but remember: I’m patient, not weak. The Feng Tian Pavilion isn’t the only place for this. Next time, inform me first.”

Ling Qi stiffened. The Pavilion’s status came from tradition, not necessity. A maiden could choose relatives anywhere.

“Your wisdom humbles me, Noble Lady,” he bowed.

“Now, tell me about the Wu Family.”

Ling Qi hesitated, then met her sharp gaze. Her stunning face, now inches away, showed no resentment—only strategic calm. His pulse quickened. This maiden was… different.

“Well?”

Snapping back, he shared all he knew.

——————

The next days buzzed with activity. Even from her floating peak, You You saw crowds at the main peak and heard whispers about the Wu maiden.

Three days later, radiant light burst across the Pavilion. Colorful clouds lit the sky, while glowing pillars drew flocks of guardian beasts. The air rang with birdsong—a deafening welcome.

A lavish Spirit Ship descended. The square below swarmed with people, including the Grand Priest.

“Aren’t you joining them?” You You asked Ling Qi.

“My duty is to you, Noble Lady.”

Yin Fan scoffed. “Since when does Feng Tian Pavilion prioritize us?”

The contrast was stark: a dozen had greeted You You, while hundreds now welcomed Wu Yue.

“We were neglectful before,” Ling Qi conceded.

“Hmph.” Yin Fan let it drop—Ling Qi had been decent lately.

The Spirit Ship landed. A woman descended, flanked by attendants. The crowd knelt.

Wu Yue appeared young, even from afar. You You felt curious—until Wu Yue stormed into her quarters the next morning.

A girl in red barged in, trailed by a scowling youth. “You’re the one who stole my chance!” she yelled.

You You blinked. “Wu Yue?”

(⊙o⊙)

Petty rivalry? Really?

The girl was twelve at most, barely reaching You You’s shoulder. Her fiery clothes screamed “spoiled brat.”

“Yes!” Wu Yue jutted her chin, glaring up. “I wanted to see who dared jump ahead of me!”

She stomped closer, scrutinizing You You from toes to face—then froze.

“You’re not… not…” Her cheeks flushed. *Not ugly. She’s… pretty!*

“A-anyway, I’ll beat you!” Wu Yue huffed, deflating. She stamped her foot. “Just wait!”

She whirled around and fled, dragging her companion.

You You: “…”

Lin Feng: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Did she just… threaten us and leave?

（￣△￣；）

Ling Qi broke the silence. “The Wu Family is serious. Wu Yue’s renowned on the Immortal Blessing Continent. Be cautious, Noble Lady.”

“Cautious of what?” You You eyed the retreating figure. “Her jumping to punch my knee?”

Ling Qi: “…” *Do all celestial maidens think like this?*
