Immortality? Nah, I choose to marry instead!

41  The trouble is coming….

As soon as Leona got out of Shenshah's house, she didn't stop running till she was at least on the other side of the village.

It was only then she breathed a sigh of relief.

 "Phew! Now I must be out of range even if his master Shao Shao comes."

From her spatial ring she took out a communication talisman, and injected some internal energy (qi) in it.

{Note- qi and internal energy will be interchanged in many places, both mean the same.}

Within a few seconds, the talisman lit up.

Leona didn't waste any time.

 "Hello, hello?"

 "Is this the headmaster speaking?"

 On the other side, on the 145th floor, Ice Sect's Main Branch,  a proud ice-cold beauty was admiring the scenery she had just painted.

Her face was half covered with a veil, her fluttering eyebrows could charm countless men in a single second.

 This fairy was the headmaster of the outer sect of the Ice Sect. All top sects are generally divided into outer as well as inner sects for proper management.

Outer sect's main task is filtering out the extraordinary talents that are worthy to enter the inner sect and be truly cultivated by the sect.

Only by entering the inner sect can a cultivator truly belong to a particular sect and enjoy countless benefits like free cultivation resources, top cultivation techniques and other core secrets....the sect pays very little attention to the disciples in the outer sect. People there mostly fend for themselves and try their best to enter the inner sect by mostly catching attention of some elders

At first, she was annoyed when the communication talisman lit up and made an annoying sound, but then she immediately remembered that except Leona, no one else has her communication talisman.

She became excited and spoke first,

 "Oh dear disciple Leona, you must have contacted me to tell the good news first-hand, right?"

 "You already found that amazing Cold Ice physique girl named Xenia, right?"

"Elder, I….."

Leona, hearing her elated tone knew she was going to be scolded.

 "Why are you not saying anything? Don't worry, I keep my promises. As soon as you come back, I will directly promote you to the inner sect and will even tell the Sect Leader to take you as her servant girl."

The woman on the other side spoke nonchalantly.

 "Headmaster, there is a little trouble, I did find Xenia and even checked her physique using the sect's instrument. She definitely has that legendary Cold Ice Physique which is most compatible with our sect's core Ice cultivation manual. But, she is already married."

 Leona said with an aggrieved tone.

 "So what if she is married? Just kidnap her and bring her back. If she refuses, then threaten her with her husband's life."

 "As long as she enters our sect, I will personally brainwash her!"

 "Such a legendary physique is destined to become a top powerhouse in this tower, we must not miss it, you understand?"

 The headmaster of the outer sect reprimanded Leona sternly.

 Against the name of their renowned Ice Sect, Who dare not give face? Otherwise, don't blame them for playing the villain.

"Headmaster, it's not that I didn't try, I dare not kidnap Xenia."

 "Her husband is the only personal disciple of that famous craftswoman Shou Shou from the Pink bunny tribe. I checked his disciple token with my own hands to make sure there was no scam."

"I am afraid if I use force, her husband will directly summon his master and then, I might even lose my life."

-Leona spoke a little timidly.

"Leona, as a proud daughter of our sect, are you scared of such things? How disappointing?"

"I got it, you must have communicated with me to send you some reinforcements, hmm?"

The headmaster spoke with a bit of a hot-temper.

"Headmaster, is it worth it to go against Shao Shao for Xenia?"

Leona expressed the thoughts in her head.

 "Leona, you don't understand….Xenia is destined to be our sect's future saintess. As soon as she practices with us, she will become unparalleled in no time."

Leona felt conflicted, "So what should I do?"

 "You can do nothing! Just obediently wait for me, I will personally come down to the second floor and bring both you and Xenia back to the sect."

 "That pink bunny tribe's weapon maker Shao Shao is only a rising star after all, her current individual ranking is only 196, plus, she has only climbed up to 100 floors till now, that is only outer tower. She is yet to enter the main tower after 100 floors, and not to forget her pink bunny tribe is almost extinct now. With my individual ranking of 70, as long as I personally appear, for my Ice Sect's image, I don't think she will refuse me." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The painting brush in the headmaster's hand was broken due to being clenched tightly.

"It will take about 10 days for me to come down, you know…. it's not so easy to move to the lower floors."

The woman gave a deep sigh.

"Understand, I will keep an eye on Xenia till you reach here."

Leona replied obediently.

As soon as she completed her words, the talisman went silent. The communication was hung up one sidedly.

Leona was relieved.

As long as this woman comes down, they will definitely fetch Xenia.

Her talent wasn't that outstanding to begin with, therefore, she has put all her hope and power on completing this task.

She will definitely be promoted to the Inner sect and live longer.

....

Inside my house, I looked softly at Saharika and Xenia.

Seeing their nervous look, I couldn't help but chuckle,

 "Don't worry, everything has me!"

At that moment, the system's prompt rang in my head.

[Congratulations, the host successfully prevented his wife Xenia being kidnapped, Xenia's affection +5, her total affection- 90]

[Saharika's affection +1]

[Reward: 55 years of cultivation.]

At the same time I checked the newly opened affection panel that mysteriously appeared in my head.

[Affection Panel]

[Saharika, first wife, total affection= 92]

[Xenia, second wife, total affection= 90]

[Angela, system's task target, total affection= -80]
