Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 22

All was silent in the dead of the night.

Cold moonlight shone into the living room through the windows, illuminating a ring that was suspended in the air.

This was the ring that Hong Ming had previously broken. But at this moment, with the moonlight slowly penetrating it, the cracks that were all over the ring were slowly being repaired.

It happened slowly, but surely.

The cracks disappeared and the ring gradually became crystal clear.

Inspiration suddenly hit Xue An, and with a casual air, he inscribed a miniature protective array on the ring.

When he was done, a streak of white light flashed, and the ring dropped to the ground.

This simple ring had been purchased from a roadside stall and cost only a few dollars. But now, it had undergone a major transformation. The translucent gem in the center of the ring was beginning to show traces of faint, red light.

This was the Spirit Qi that Xue An had infused into the ring.

Suddenly, a bedroom door creaked open.

Fan MengXue walked out of her room.

“Not going to sleep yet?” Xue An asked in a relaxed tone.

Fan MengXue shook her head and walked up to Xue An. She casually sat down and lightly rested her head on Xue An’s shoulder.

The house was so quiet that they could hear the gentle snores of the two little girls in the other room.

Xue An suddenly felt a cold sensation on his shoulder. He looked down to see…

The exceptionally beautiful face of Fan MengXue was full of tears.

Xue An sighed and took out that ring that he had just refined.

“Happy birthday!”

At that moment, Fan MengXue’s heart was filled with sadness and grief.

She had already sacrificed a lot for Xue An. She went through so much suffering and had endured overwhelming pressure while waiting for him to return. And now that they have finally reconciled, she found out that he had two children. Twin daughters, at that!

She had never imagined that it would be like this.

At their classmates’ gathering earlier that day, Xue An did not even pay much attention to her.

Could it be that he saw her arriving with Hong Ming and this had given him the wrong idea?

But I am doing all this for you!

Just a few minutes ago, Fan MengXue was restlessly tossing and turning in bed. She finally decided to get out of bed and come out to see what Xue An was doing.

And now, the sight of the ring Xue An presented to her truly helped to lift the sadness and grief that was in her heart.

“Like it?” Xue An asked with a smile.

Fan MengXue let out a low mumble. She played with the ring for a minute, inspecting it closely and admiring its beauty. She put it on her right ring finger and held it close to her chest as though it was a priceless treasure.

Xue An watched her actions, and his expression changed slightly. Then he diverted his gaze elsewhere.

“Have you been well these four years?” he asked.

Fan MengXue shook her head and said, “No, not good at all”

After a moment of silence, Xue An asked again, “How did you suddenly become a famous star?”

Fan MengXue sighed softly. “There were a lot of reasons, but most importantly, I wanted to gain fame as quickly as possible. I knew… that even if you are missing, you can still see me the moment you turn on the television!”

Xue An was silent for a moment, before he finally said, “All these years… I’m sorry…”

Fan MengXue abruptly reached up and planted a kiss on Xue An’s lips.

This unexpected kiss caught Xue An completely off-guard, and for a quick moment, he felt somewhat at a loss.

Three thousand years of cultivation had opened his eyes to countless unimaginable scenes.

But he had never been so flustered.

The kiss ended.

Fan MengXue whispered in Xue An’s ears, “Don’t apologize. You’re still alive and that is the most important thing.”

Having said that, Fan MengXue sat back down on the sofa. She did a good, long stretch and then, in a most audacious manner, placed her long legs on the coffee table.

“What are your plans for tomorrow?” she asked gently.

“No plans.”

“Then let’s take Xiangxiang and Niannian out. Let’s go out and play!”

Xue An looked at this girl who seemed to reflect the stars in her eyes and simply nodded.

Fan MengXue rested her head on Xue An’s shoulders and gradually drifted into sleep.

But just before she fell asleep, she mumbled under her breath.

“She must be beautiful!”

Xue An gave no reply.

It was the next day.

They were standing in front of a high school in Beijiang.

Xue An looked up at the school gate.

This was a place he was very familiar with.

This was where he once attended school for three years.

Fan MengXue was wearing a hat and was in a pretty good mood.

Tang Xuan’er, on the other hand, was holding onto Xue Xiang and Xue Nian.

The five of them, comprising three adults and two children, could pass off as a small tour group.

“Papa, where are we?” Xue Xiang looked at the school gate and asked in puzzlement.

Xue An smiled. “This place… This is where Papa used to go to school!”

“Is there anything delicious to eat in there?” Xue Nian was always hungry and always had food on her mind.

Xue An could not help but laugh out loud. Xue Xiang, on the other hand, pinched her little sister’s face.

“Eat, eat, eat! All you know how to do is eat! Look at how fat you are!”

Xue Nian lowered her head, feeling somewhat hurt. Then in a small voice, she retorted, “Your face seems even rounder!”

“Enough. It’s time to go,” Fan MengXue said.

Xue An was a little taken aback. “We’re not going in?” he asked.

Fan MengXue shook her head. “I just wanted to see if this rundown school has been demolished,” she said dismissively. “I can’t even be bothered to waste my time going in there.”

“So where are we headed to now?” Tang Xuan’er asked.

“Let’s go ice-skating! It’s been a long time since I last skated!” Fan MengXue said with great excitement.

This was an ice-skating rink that was built into the natural landscape.

The harsh, cold winter had completely frozen the surface of the lake. Because of this, it was crowded and full of people skating about in all directions.

Back when she was a student, Fan MengXue would frequently come here to have fun.

“Papa, they are selling Peggy, the Little Pig over there!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were pointing at the dolls. Their eyes were brightly lit.

“I’ll bring the two of them over there to buy something,” said Tang Xuan’er.

“I’ll come with you,” said Fan MengXue. “Xue An, you can join the queue first.”

There was no need to purchase entry tickets for this natural ice-skating rink. But it was a requirement that skates had to be rented.

Xue An was patiently joined the line.

A few minutes passed when all of a sudden, a woman simply stood in front of him, cutting in his line.

Xue An gave a slight frown and gently tapped the woman’s shoulder.

“Excuse me.”

The woman turned around impatiently. She was quite good-looking, and could probably be rated as a seven on the appearance scale. But the make-up she had applied on her face was a centimeter thick, and you could see it had started to crack and peel. Whenever she spoke, fragments of make-up would crumble and fall off her face.

“What’s the matter?”

“There’s a queue,” Xue An said with barely an expression on his face.

“What’s the big deal if I were to cut the queue? A big man like yourself can’t even make some leeway for girls like us?” The woman was asserting herself so eloquently in a bid to justify her actions.

At this point in time, they had attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Xue An maintained his look of indifference. “I’m asking you to join the back of the queue,” he insisted calmly. “Didn’t you hear what I just said?”

The woman was a little annoyed. She rolled her eyes and abruptly changed her tactics to appear like she was the victim.

“You’ve been sneakily following me from behind, haven’t you? And when were waiting in the queue, your hands were all over me! Are you a pervert?”

The onlookers reacted immediately and you could see it in their eyes. Many of them were now staring at Xue An with suspicion and contempt.

“You are quite good-looking… How could you do something like that?”

“Yes! This man is kind of gross!”

The comments made the seven-point lady feel secretly pleased. The look on her face became all the more pitiful.

This was not the first time that she had pulled off this trick, and it had proven to be very effective each time she used it. Sometimes, when she feels ignored on the public bus, she would use this trick to accuse innocent men.

More often than not, the other party would be stumped for words. As such, no one would dare to dispute her accusations.

Xue An however, was different. Despite being openly accused by the strangers surrounding him, he simply raised an eyebrow. “Oh? You say I touched you?”

“Yes! Not only touch, you were even following me all the way here!” The seven-point lady’s arrogance seemed to grow like a burning fire.

With an almost inconspicuous smile, Xue An asked, “So, where did I touch you?”

“My waist!” The seven-point lady said firmly.

This time, however, she caught the look in Xue An’s eyes. It was a condescending look that was filled with contempt. Her heart skipped a beat and she could feel the apprehension building insider her.
