Chapter 41: Prefer Death Over Marriage! Su Xiaoxiao’s Anti-Marriage Chronicle

Palace Master Shangguan Waner said slowly: "You need to start improving your cultivation, or improve your knowledge, so that in the future I can arrange a desirable husband for you."

Boom!

Su Xiaoxiao froze instantly, and a few black lines appeared on her forehead.

Marriage? And have to find a man? And have to be… by a man?

No! Absolutely cannot accept this!

She hurriedly knelt on the bed, "Palace Master, Su Xiaoxiao does not want to find a husband, I only want to serve by your side."

Palace Master Shangguan Waner was stunned, then chuckled. She raised her hand and gently scraped the tip of Su Xiaoxiao's nose, her tone soft: "Su Xiaoxiao, I know your heart. But I am a woman after all, I cannot give you a status, nor can I give you true…"

Before she could finish, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted, her tone so firm it was shocking.

"No! Palace Master, if you must make me marry, I would rather die!"

Palace Master Shangguan Waner's heart jolted violently.

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao in astonishment, clearly not expecting her to be so resolute.

A moment later, she sighed, her tone helpless but doting: "Fine, fine, I will agree to you, we will not mention this again."

She rubbed Su Xiaoxiao's hair and smiled: "Let's go, I will take you to test your bone structure. Once you cultivate Immortal power and shed your Mortal body, you can stay by my side for a long time."

Su Xiaoxiao breathed a slight sigh of relief in her heart and nodded obediently: "Mm."

At this moment, although she had already entered the Dao, her aura had no flaws when she was an Incarnation of a maid, so Palace Master Shangguan Waner naturally regarded her as an ordinary Mortal woman.

The Dao Alliance had a massive structure and complete order, with a layout similar to a city residential area, divided into different sectors.

Moxiang Pavilion was the core building of this divided area, surrounded by facilities like the academy, private school, residential houses, and markets, like an independent city.

The place Palace Master Shangguan Waner was taking Su Xiaoxiao to was Moxiang Academy.

Although Moxiang Academy was named an "Academy," its essence was the same as a private school, all founded by Palace Master Shangguan Waner herself.

Because of Palace Master Shangguan Waner's influence as a Great Master, countless powerful families broke their heads trying to get their children into Moxiang Academy.

Over time, this academy became basically the same as a private school, and ordinary people almost had no chance to step over the threshold.

Moxiang Academy had two major directions: Literary Cultivation and Martial Cultivation.

Unfortunately, Martial Cultivation had long been crushed by Literary Cultivation, even to the point of near collapse.

Literary Cultivators used culture to manifest swords, used literature to control objects, with unpredictable means, leaving traditional Martial Cultivators with no power to fight back.

In the end, Moxiang Academy almost became the world of Literary Cultivation.

At this moment, in front of the Spirit Stone for testing, everyone in the academy had already lined up and was waiting.

Palace Master Shangguan Waner bringing Su Xiaoxiao in person immediately caused a huge sensation.

The teachers and students of the academy bowed one after another, the men cupped their fists, the women bowed slightly, and said in unison: "Greetings, Dean!"

Palace Master Shangguan Waner nodded slightly, signaling that they need not be so polite, then her gaze fell on Su Xiaoxiao, her tone gentle: "Go ahead, relax, don't be nervous."

"Mm!"

Su Xiaoxiao walked towards the Spirit Stone with small steps, looking nervous on the surface, but secretly pondering in her heart.

What kind of talent should I display to be appropriate?

During the process of Su Xiaoxiao walking towards the Spirit Stone, the academy instructors and students were already discussing spiritedly, their faces full of expectation.

"This little girl is delicate and pretty, looks so cute, and was even brought to the test by the Dean herself. She is definitely not a Mortal!"

"Could it be a Disciple from some hidden family?"

"No matter what, we must get along well with her!"

Hearing the whispers around, Su Xiaoxiao curled the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.

"You all have such high expectations? Let me just give you a 'surprise'!"

Her small palm pressed gently on the Spirit Stone.

The next moment, the Spirit Stone flickered with a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer.

In everyone's expectant gaze, that ray of light became dimmer and dimmer, until it finally extinguished completely, without any fluctuations!

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to desperately circulate her Immortal power, a look of anxiety on her face, and even fine beads of sweat seeped out on her forehead.

However, the Spirit Stone still had no reaction!

Dead silence.

A moment later, everyone in the academy came back to their senses, and an uproar suddenly erupted!

"That's it?"

"It's actually a non-attribute waste Spiritual Root?!"

"Does she even deserve to enter Moxiang Academy?"

The students were very disappointed, and some even showed looks of disdain.

Instructor Ruolin frowned and announced in a calm but emotionless tone:

"Non-attribute waste Spiritual Root, Aptitude not qualified!"

Su Xiaoxiao walked back to Palace Master Shangguan Waner's side with a look of disappointment, her voice delicate:

"I'm sorry, Palace Master… I have embarrassed you."

Palace Master Shangguan Waner rubbed her little head, her eyes doting: "It's okay, you performed very well, just attend class properly."

Then, Palace Master Shangguan Waner looked around, her expression solemn, and said slowly—

"Su Xiaoxiao will officially become a special student of Moxiang Academy this year."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was in an uproar!

"How is that possible?!"

"How can it be like this!"

"How many years has it been since Moxiang Academy had a special student, and this year it actually broke the rules?!"

"What exactly is Su Xiaoxiao's background?!"

"Haha, you don't know about this, right! Su Xiaoxiao is the Dean's maid. She was just chosen by the Dean as a personal attendant a few days ago. This is a great honor!"

"Ah?! So that's how it is?!"

"If only I were a girl too, I would also want to be Dean's maid!"

"Forget it, you? No one would want you even if you were given away!"

"That's right, look at Su Xiaoxiao, delicate and cute, she has the looks, and she has the figure…"

Su Xiaoxiao heard the discussions around her, her cheeks immediately burning, and she muttered in her heart.

How did it get to this aspect?! I am a man! Don't think wildly!

However, what she feared came!

A handsome and dashing young man suddenly walked to Su Xiaoxiao's side, smiled slightly, and bowed gentlemanly.

"Junior Sister Su Xiaoxiao, I am Crown Prince Li Chongjun, you can call me Senior Brother. The seat next to me just happens to be empty, why not sit beside me, so I can guide you."

Everyone immediately exploded!

Crown Prince Li Chongjun?!

This was no ordinary person. Not only was he handsome and dashing, the number one handsome guy in Moxiang Academy, but he was also the Crown Prince of the Great Tang!

More importantly, he had already been identified as the next ruler of the Great Tang, the husband all the girls dreamed of!

As a result… he actually took the initiative to show favor to Su Xiaoxiao?!

In the crowd, a graceful and beautiful woman was so angry that her face turned pale, staring fixedly at Su Xiaoxiao, with wild anger surging in her heart.

"How dare you, Su Xiaoxiao?!"

"You just arrived, and you snatched my Crown Prince Li Chongjun?!"

"I am the most beautiful girl recognized by the academy, I have confessed to Crown Prince Li Chongjun many times and was rejected, by what right do you…?!"

The attendant beside her quickly whispered a reminder: "Young Miss, please don't be angry, she is the Dean's attendant, we can't afford to offend her…"

Liu Pianpian snorted, her eyes full of disdain: "Hmph, a maid from an ordinary family, even if she became an attendant, she is still a servant after all, how can she compare to me?"

Su Xiaoxiao was completely unaware that the whole academy had exploded because of her.

At this moment, she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

Please, I am a man!

Can you guys not mess with me like this?!

Although with the help of the Profound Truth of Reality-Illusion Conversion, my body is no different from a girl… but my Soul is still a man!

Palace Master Shangguan Waner looked at the stunned Su Xiaoxiao, smiled slightly, and her tone was soft: "Su Xiaoxiao, Crown Prince Li Chongjun is upright and honest, with his guidance, you can learn faster, just sit beside him."

Su Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and hurriedly refused stammeringly: "Ah?! Palace Master, but… but I…"

Palace Master Shangguan Waner chuckled and teased: "I know, don't worry, Crown Prince Li Chongjun is upright and honest, he won't do anything bad to you."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao felt incredibly bitter in her heart, and could only lower her head and promise obediently: "Alright, Palace Master, then Su Xiaoxiao can only follow your instructions…"
