From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"This is Xiaofeng, a reporter from xxx. We are currently at the campus destroyed by a Fourth-order Space Beast. As you can see, looking around, it's all ruins. Everything has been burned to the ground…"

"Excuse me, are you a teacher from this school? Why do you think the Fourth-order Space Beast suddenly descended here? What happened at that time…"

"Is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl really a student of this school? Did she really study here?"

"This is Ah Qiang, a reporter from xx. Regarding the rumors of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl having a boyfriend at school, let's interview some of the students…"

…

With the descent of the Fourth-order Space Beast in the small county and the major incident of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl's resurrection to save the city, reporters from all over the world crazily flocked to Yangming City, with endless reports emerging.

Various apps and forums on the internet completely exploded with speculation and wild guesses about the previous news of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl's death.

The emergence of the Fourth-order Space Beast was still a mystery, but most of the news online was about how the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl was resurrected and the scandal of her rumored boyfriend.

Currently, the question of how the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl was resurrected has been resolved, but it was not the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl herself who replied, but the Tianjiang Mu Family that responded to it.

The gist of the response was: The Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl had been severely injured on the battlefield, which led to a long period during which she couldn't use True Qi. To allow her to retire from the battlefield, the Mu family released the news of her death.

Today, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl suddenly emerged to protect the citizens, forcibly using True Qi, which has worsened her condition and her life is in danger.

As for the scandal about the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl's rumored boyfriend, the Tianjiang Mu family's response was: There was absolutely no truth to it.

In less than an hour, all the posts and news about the Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl having a boyfriend were thoroughly censored online.

The only ones who knew the factual truth were the students and teachers of Yangming City University, but since the Tianjiang Mu Family had spoken, naturally, no one dared to speak recklessly, or else they would be accused of spreading rumors.

"Why fabricate such rumors of Qing'er's death! Do you know the great impact this has on the reputation of my Mu Family!"

In the grand hall of the Mu Family, an old man with white hair stood livid, glaring at Mu Yingying and Shang Han standing below, his tone full of fury.

With sadness, Mu Yingying said, "Father! You don't understand the severity of Qing'er's injuries! Her meridians were completely severed, surviving that was a miracle itself. And even if she survived, she would have to spend half her life in a wheelchair!

All we did was for Qing'er's own good!"

"That still doesn't justify such absurd actions!" Grandpa Mu slapped the table angrily, continuing, "What status does Qing'er hold! How could you spread rumors of her death like this? And you two even kept me in the dark!"

Below, Shang Han frowned deeply and spoke, "Father-in-law, on this matter, I believe Yingying and I made no mistake. Are you still unaware of the reasons behind Qing'er's injuries on the battlefield? If we proclaimed she wasn't dead, would certain people give up?

There are even those beasts who wanted to continue exploiting her to create formations! Were we wrong to do what we did?"

Grandpa Mu stood up immediately, still consumed with anger: "Since Qing'er wasn't dead, you two could have told me! Are you afraid I'd harm Qing'er?!"

Shang Han replied, "Father-in-law, I also believe that Yingying and I did the right thing. If we hadn't, you surely would have never agreed to let her date an average boy, then marry and have children, living out the rest of her life."

"Ridiculous!" Grandpa Mu roared, pointing at Shang Han. "Even if Qing'er has lost her Cultivation Ability, even if she had to spend her life in a wheelchair, her status is not something an ordinary person could match! Both of you are being foolish!"

Shang Han's frown deepened, and his tone grew heavier as he spoke, "It's precisely because you have such thoughts, father-in-law, that we didn't dare tell you! You always believe Qing'er should marry the most outstanding young man in the world, yet you have never considered her perspective."

Grandpa Mu glared at him fiercely and retorted, "So what gives you, a father who hasn't been with her for twenty-two years, any right to decide!"

"Father, this was my decision!" Mu Yingying spoke.

"You've always known to follow his nonsense from a young age! Even after getting married!" Grandpa Mu kicked the table in anger, yet underneath it all was helplessness.

After a while, Grandpa Mu calmed his emotions and said, "Both of you, tell me the truth, was there really no possibility of Qing'er's meridians recovering? Did you deliberately hide this from me?"

"There was no possibility," Shang Han said with a frown. "Many masters from the Central Area came to examine Qing'er, her meridians were completely severed, her Spiritual Root was in a necrotic state; it was impossible for her to cultivate again."

"Then how do you explain Qing'er's sudden recovery now?" Grandpa Mu asked.

Just then, Second Young Master Mu, who had been standing on the side in the hall, came forward, saying, "Father, Qing'er has a unique Spiritual Root; perhaps it recovered on its own post-trauma. Sister and brother-in-law can't be blamed for this."

"Not blame them?" The words seemed to infuriate Grandpa Mu even further. "They were about to marry Qing'er to a mortal boy! And she's lived with him for many days! Now that Qing'er's abilities have recovered, her future husband will certainly be Song Mobei.

If these matters become public, what face will be left for my Sword Sect! The two of you are really trying to infuriate me to death!"

"I don't agree!" Shang Han immediately said, "Father-in-law, I don't agree with you separating them, and I definitely won't agree to Qing'er marrying Song Mobei! Even if Qing'er regained her strength, her husband could only be Ah Ran. Father-in-law, I beg you not to break up true love."

Old Master Mu angrily said, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree! Since you were young, you and Yingying have done foolish things! And now you even want to involve your own daughter in your foolishness! Shang Han, I've treated you like my own son all these years, can you not understand me at all?"

Seeing this, Second Young Master Mu immediately tugged on Shang Han's arm and spoke up, "Brother-in-law, Qing'er is no ordinary person. With her status, she absolutely can't marry a mortal who can't cultivate.

Otherwise, it would waste her excellent genes, and the children born would have mediocre talents. Then the whole world would blame the Mu Family for being irrational!"

Shang Han looked at Old Master Mu, who was angrily heaving his chest, and felt extremely complicated. He really didn't want to upset his father-in-law, because his father-in-law truly treated him like his own, always treating him as a real son...

Mu Yingying said resignedly with her head lowered, "We never thought that one day Qing'er would be able to regain her strength..."

"Now the problem is that Qing'er has recovered! You two must not continue being so foolish!"

Old Master Mu said this and immediately walked towards the outside of the hall, telling several people beside him, "Follow me to bring Qing'er back!"

"Father-in-law!" Shang Han immediately ran out to stop him, his face full of pleading, "Why must you insist on separating them!"

"How can we not separate them?" Old Master Mu looked at Shang Han and said, "Qing'er's cultivation gene is unprecedentedly strong in human history, a genius among the younger generation. Only Tiandao Sword Sect's Song Mobei is her natural match!

They are more suited to be together, and the children they have will definitely inherit both of their talents! You say I am breaking up a pair of mandarin ducks. Are you not the one separating a couple made for each other?"

"Father-in-law! Qing'er and Ah Ran are the ones with feelings! She hasn't even met that Song Mobei!" said Shang Han.

"It is precisely because Qing'er hasn't met him that she has a temporary affection for that kid from the Fang Family! Once Qing'er has spent more time with Song Mobei, she will naturally forget about that boy!" said Old Master Mu.

"Doing so will definitely cause Qing'er a lot of pain!" Shang Han argued.

"Better a short pain than a long one." Old Master Mu glanced at Shang Han, then told the servants beside him, "Keep a close watch on your son-in-law, don't let him go outside."

"Yes!"

A group of Mu Family servants immediately ran to Shang Han's side to stop him from following, among them were many practitioners at the Chongshan Realm.

"..."

Shang Han watched his father-in-law's retreating figure and then glanced back at his wife who was hanging her head, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Can't you let me go!"

Old Master Mu didn't turn around, "No! You scoundrel only know how to do nonsense! Just stay at home properly, or I won't acknowledge you as my son-in-law when I come back!"

Shang Han felt utterly helpless within. He really wanted his daughter to be with Ah Ran, but that would mean facing the pressure of the entire world, including the rebukes from his own conscience.

After all, if his daughter truly ended up with Ah Ran, the children born would indeed not have great cultiovational talent, and the Central Area would adopt all kinds of inhumane methods in their quest to obtain children with superior cultivation genes...

They would use powerful force when necessary to forcibly take Mu Hui away from Fang Ren, imprison her, compel her to bear a child with Song Mobei, and even end up killing Fang Ren...

The means were inhumane, but such things had happened many times before, though only the upper echelons knew of it, while ordinary people could only see the happiness that came after the union of two powerful individuals.

The world was a dark place for Mu Hui, who had fallen in love with Fang Ren. If she had never met Fang Ren, she would have naturally accepted her fate without so much trouble.

But the problem was, as Mu Hui herself had said: there are no ifs in life.

She had someone she liked now, and she had begun to want to be with that person.

The pressure of this marriage... it was not something mere humans could withstand.

If they didn't separate soon, they would face the brutal interventions from the central powers.

"Ah Ying... did we really do something wrong back then?" Shang Han looked into the distance with a sorrowful face and murmured.

Mu Yingying came to his side, rested her head on his shoulder, and said in a low tone, "I don't know... but looking at it now, they could never be from the same world, they are destined to be separated."

"If only Ah Ran's Spiritual Root hadn't been taken from him, perhaps everything could have been reversed," Shang Han lamented.

"That child is fated for hardship... he is only fit to live as a normal person."
