C2 Officially Adopted

"a'niang~, A'die~.." Sobbing...

In a very dark room, she couldn't see anything, a little girl standing there, but there's one light and two person wearing black and white robe standing in front of her smiling...

"it's not your fault, A'Xue~..."

"live better life~..."

"A'Niang!~ A'die!~, I want to follow you to heaven!~...let me come with you~...A'NIANG!~, A'DIE!~..."

The two men turned their back on her and walked leaving her sobbing and screaming alone, "A'NIANG, A'DIE!!~...WAIT FOR ME!~...DON'T LEAVE ME!~..TSK!~ TSK!~..." she wants to run but it feels like her feet were gummed to the floor, "A'niang!~, A'die!!~..."

"Xiao XingXue?~...wake up~...hey, XingXue~..."

XingXue gasped as she wakes from her nightmare, as she opened her eyes, she paused and blinked, she saw white ceiling and her eyes glanced hostile at the man in robe, 'he's familliar~...Yiling Laozu Wei WuXian??~...' the man was smiling, "hm~...you awake??~..."

XingXue didn't answers him she seated up as she glanced around the room, "this isn't my room??~...where am I??~..." She asked in cold tone and she eyed Wei WuXian with glares she noticed he was holding her Tianyang, "why are you touching my parents swords??~..."

Wei WuXian, "swords??~...your parent's swords??you mean...Jiang Zai and Shuanghua??~..." he looked at TianYang, "hm~...impressive?~...for a little cultivator like you, you are talented~...you do have bright future ahead you~..."

DEGG!...

"AKH!...HEY!~" Wei Ying glares at XingXue who kicked him in the stomach, makes him fell on his knees, she then caught TianYang before it could land of the floor, she then jumped off Xichen's bed and ignoring Wei Ying yelling at her as she run and exited out of Hanshi and meet everyone, but before she could step out off Hanshi she bumped into Lan Xichen, Jiang Cheng, Meng Yao, and the other children, grandmaster Qiren and Lan WangJi who was about to enter Hanshi...

She retreated back, her backhead hit Wei WuXian's stomach, who was running after her, but also retreated back...

"You~..." XingXue glared at Lan Xichen...

Lan Xichen smiled, "XingXue~...you awake??~..."

"where am I??~...where is my father??~...what about my house??~..."

"XingXue~..."

Lan Xichen paused before he could continued as he sighs, "we have cremated Xiao Xingchen, Lady Qing and Song ZIzhen's corpses, and placed them together with Xueyang at your private funeral parlour~..."

XingXue didn't answered, Lan Xichen walked towards her as he bend down to her height level as he drew a calm assuring smile as he placed his hands on the little shoulders, "XingXue~..we like you to live with us from now on, we could protect you~...Me and Jiang ZhongZhu decided to take you in as our own daughter and disciple, as how I promise your father and mother~..."

XingXue scoffed as she pushed Lan Xichen's hands off her shoulder, "If I was just Xueyang's daughter, I doubt you wanted to take me in and protect me~...don't worry, I can take care of myself and avenge my father's death~...now take me back to the Yi City~..."

XingXue about to walks away, but Lan Xichen halted her, "Wen Chao planned to take you as one of his consort~...you're strong enough to kill him, but your cultivation skills can't compete Wen Ruohan~...Xiao XingXue, you have to strengthen your skills, your cultivations skills have to be equal with Wen Ruohan in order to avenge your father~..."

XingXue digest everything the older man told her, that's right, even her skills have upgraded due to her father, who have taught her everything, she still small compare to the most powerful cultivator in the world...

Lan Xichen walked to her as he eyed at Tianyang, "the ashes and souls of your parents, god-father and Lady Qing have rested on that swords..."

"I know, I did it~...I'm the one who summoned them~..." XingXue replied...

Lan XIchen smiled, "XingXue~..."

XingXue, "I thought it won't work~...now it's easier to kill Wen Chao~..." 'I don't care If I die, I want to follow my parents, I don't wanna live here~...'

She don't care what Lan Xichen said, she scoffed and immediately passed all the cultivators of her way, as she decided to leave Cloud Recesses..

The other adults and children were shocked at XingXue's behavior and the way she replied the Lan Sect leader...

XingXue knows who they are, but the cultivation world only know XinGXue as Xueyang and Xiao Xingchen's daughter but they have no idea what she capable, even in a young age..

But Jiang Cheng lost his temper ever since earlier, that kid has the audacity to talk back to his husband as if his husband was the same age as her...

"you, little brat~...stop right there~..."

XingXue stopped walking then eyed at Jiang Cheng with hostility, she ignored him as she continues walking, but Jiang Cheng immediately went to her as he grabbed her arm harshly, as he knelt to her height level and grabbed her shoulder harshly, and eyed her with his death glares...

"you don't talk to my husband that way!...whether you like it or not, you are staying here, you will be registered as Lan Xichen and Jiang WanYin's daughter!..."

XingXue eyed coldly at Jiang Cheng as she's using her strength to push Jiang Cheng away as the older man fell back on his butt, "Jiang Cheng!" Lan Xichen and Wei WuXian went to Jiang Cheng who winced at the pain on his butt because of the small brat...

Lan Xichen, "XingXue!..."

Wei WuXian glares at the little girl, "Xiao XingXue!...you disrespectful brat!..."

XingXue about to raised Tianyang to kill Wei WuXian but bichen coming to her way but she immediately look at the sword coming to her way, she dodged and released Tianyang, as the sword flew towards Bichen and smashed bichen at once, bichen smashed and scattered to the ground...

Everyone was shocked at how bichen could be beaten easily by a sword of a little cultivator just like that....

"how?!..."

Tianyang flew towards XingXue and XingXue grabbed the handle, as she's about to raised the sword to kill Jiang Cheng, but suddenly someone from nowhere grabbed her little wrist from attacking Jiang Cheng, a whispered in her ears were heard by that 8 years old socio girl...

"A Xue, don't~..."

Everything suddenly went blackout around her, and she feels someone was hugging her from behind, and she is very familiar of that hug, she turned her body and looked at the man in white who she knew was her father...

"A'die~..." beamed on her face, drawing smile...

"A Xue~...don't do that~..."

"but father-"

"A Xue~..." grabbed her shoulders, "promise me, you must live a better life, be good and be nice to everyone~...do not associate yourself with evil, A Xue~..."

XingXue still with her cold face, "I am half evil~...mother was evil, so why can't I?~...those peoples are nuisance~..."

"A Xue, no~...your mother wants you to be otherwise~...he don't want you to be like him~...do you love your mother, do you love me??~..." Xiao Xingchen asked her with his gentle voice...

XingXue controlling her emotions with her overwhelmed egoes, folding her arms, "hm~..." throwing her face aside, looking randomly at things in the dark, refusing to look at her father's face...

"if you love me and your mother~..."

Xiao Xingchen cupped her small face, making his daughter looked at him, who reacted with a bit flinched, with her round eyes blinking a bit confused, "you have to listen to what we said and live your life as how we taught you~...be Lan ZhongZhu and Jiang ZhongZhu's ward, in their care you will be more safer and protected from Wen Chao~..."

XingXue scoffed, "tch!...Wen Chao was trembling, when I was about to kill him, I could have killed him by now if it wasn't for that stupid leader of Lan stopped me!..."

Xiao Xingchen, "do not call him that, sweet A'Xue~...he's old enough to be your father and he did the right thing~...your cultivation could outstrong Wen Chao, but not Wen Ruohan~...if anything happen to Wen Chao, Wen Ruohan will kill you A Xue~..."

XingXue trying to digest everything her father told her, still with her 'I-dont-give-a-damn' face...

"listen to me, A Xue~...be Lan ZhongZhu and Jiang ZhongZhu's daughter and disciple~...strengthened your cultivation skills~...I know you want to avenge me, but don't do that, sweetheart~...it will ruin you~...please, for my and your mother's sake, do not make it hard for Lan ZhongZhu and Jiang ZhongZhu in protecting you~...I don't want you to end up in the street, and you know your mother don't want it either~...so please, obey us if you love us~...understand??..."

A Xue sighed rolling her eyes, "hm!~...maybe~..but no promise~..." she replied nonchalantly, making Xingchen glared at her, "A Xue??", A Xue sighed whining, "yeah, sure, whatever~..." she said lazily, XingChen smiled and muttered, "aiya~....you're really your mother's daughter~..."

"of course i am~..."

Xingchen smiled, as slowly Xingchen disappeared into a white smoke off A Xue's sight, A Xue suddenly got worked up, "A-A die~...wh-where..."

"A'Xue~...I love you~...remember that~...mother and father love you so much~...live better live, don't blame yourself~...never blame yourself~..."

"father~, father!~...please don't go!~...tsk!~ tsk!~...father!~..." she's trying to grab her father who was slowly dissapearing into the smoke, unfortunately she couldn't hold him, she only could touch the air, sobbing and pleading until her father disappeared completely, fell on her knees as she sobs, screaming for her father's name, yelling and pleading until she gets tired and finally feeling her body went numbed, as finally fell into a deep slumber...

Few seconds later, she could feel herself as if lying on a comfy bed, and the smells of room give calms, feels that someone was compressing a wet cloth on her forehead...

She could feel the voice of few people chitchatting around her, and the man-cologne that was trespassing her notrils, belongs to them man who was compressing her forehead right at this moment...

'where am I??...' monologue in her head, 'this room's smell like the Lan's Room earlier?~...'

'people's chitchatting, smell of adult men's collogne, my forehead's wet~...'

'what happen to me??~...why am I in the bed, aren't I supposed to kill that purple fag earlier??~...I should be at the dungeon or something??~...'

'haish~...whatever~...'

Wincing as she feel dizzy on her head, "hmp~..."

"she's awake!~..." a voice of man rang, "A'niang!~, mei mei is awake!~..." A voice of a child heard in the room, few seconds later, a running footsteps coming into the room and stood besides the bed, Xingxue was layng right now...

"how is she, Lan Huan??~..." a voice of a male asking the man compressing the little girl's forehead..

"she seems okay, wife~...don't worry~..."

Jiang Cheng scoffed, "tch~...who said i'm worry??~..." glaring at the man in blue robe who was smiling while compressing the cloth on the little girl's forehead...

Wei WuXian, "you are worried, A Cheng~...just say it~..."

Jiang Cheng, "you!..."

Lan Qiren snapped, "don't fight!"

Jiang Cheng and Wei WuXian went silent and bowing appologetically...

"ngh~..." slowly XingXue flutter open her eyes and sees the white ceilling with a cloud pattern designing the ceilling of the room, she looked at everyone, and Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen the closest ones besides her, half-glaring and half-trying to calm expressions written on her eyes...

She sighs, as he eyes landed on Lan XIchen who was giving her warm smiles, she takes a second as she muttered, "thank you~..." she try to forced a sincere smile at Xichen... "you're awake, little miss??~..." "hm~...by the way, would you remove this irritating wet cloth from my fucking...I'm sorry~...head??~..." shook her head as she correcting her words, while cursing at herself for forgetting to mind her mouth from using cursed words, "I'm sorry~...that's how I talk~..."

Jiang Cheng shocked at the thought that a young girl like Xingxue already know how to cursed...

She couldn't be getting it from Xingchen, Xueyang died after giving birth to her, it couldn't be Song Lan as well...

Lan Xichen, "its alright, young miss~...you can learn from the start~..." he took the cloth from XinGXue's forehead and dipped it into the pile that was filled with water, signalling maids to take away the pile from there, he turned to looked at the little girl who have seated up and looked at everyone...

She looked at that angry lotus who was also seated on the bed and everyone, there Lan Wangji, Wei WuXian, Lan Qiren, Meng Yao, Lan Xichen's children smilling at her accept Jingyi who was looking at her dirtily, she ignored him...

Eyeing everyone in the room, Jiang Cheng speaks, "where did you even learn to curse??~...and i prefer you to not say that when my children is around~..."

'I say what I want', XingXue replied in her head as she faked a smile at Jiang Cheng, and bow appologetically, "forgive me my foul mouth~...I grow up hanging around with sister A Qing alot, who used to hanged out with mother during his lifetime~...so~...hm~..."

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes...

Lan Xichen, "its alright, my wife~...XingXue will learn it later~...but Xingxue, do not do it again~..."

XinGXue smiled, "hm~..."

Forgetting or prefer to ignore about how she got here in the bed or how she supposed to be in the dungeon for attempting to murder the Jiang Leader, she looked at Jiang Cheng, "I'm sorry for trying to kill you~..."

Jiang Cheng scoffed, "it's alright~...but if you do that again, I won't hesitate to break your legs with Zidian~..."

XingXue nodded while cursing jiang cheng insides her thoughts, "hmm~..." she looked at Lan WangJi, "and for your sword~...I will fix it back, so can i borrow you broke sword for awhile??~..."

Lan WangJi, "you cannot fix it~..."

Wei WuXian, "its already broken, you little brat~..." his face glaring at that girl who messed with his husband, "there's no way you could fix it~..."

XingXue sighed and rolled her eyes, she looked at Tianyang that was placed besides her, she took it and brought infront of her, and looked at it, murmurring words as a silver light appeared of Tianyang, Jiang Cheng besides the little girl stood from the bed move sides as he covered his eyes at the brightening light of the sword, everyone was shocked at that strange light of the sword, murmurring heard in the room...

The a crystal ball light appeared and flew towards bichen, Lan WangJi blinked his eyes in confused at what that thing is doing to his sword, the ball light surrounded bichen as it twirling around the sword...

The light was burning the whole room for seconds, and finally dissappeared slowly and all the light finally the flame went back to Tianyang, Xingxue put down tianyang, everyone was curios of what is happening...

"wh-what is that??~.."

"wh-what are you trying to do, little brat??~..."

everyone keeps their question in their heads, agreeing to Wei WuXian and Jiang cheng's questions...

Xingxue with her calm face, prefer not to answers the adults...

She looked at Lan Wangji, "unsheath our sword~..." reluctant WangJi hand holding bichen's handle as he pulled it out of its sheath, surprised from its owner and everyone in the room, bichen have fixed perfectly and return to how it was before...

again murmurring still heard, annoyed XingXue, but she only cursed in her thoughts, trying to be his parents wish...

"h-how?~..." wangji looked at the little girl with widdened eyes...

XingXue smiled proudly as she flipped her hair, "let's just say...I'm just awesome?~..hm~..." rhyme it sassily...

Wei WuXian lifted his lips at that proud child in his disgust expressions, Jiang Cheng indisbelieve looking at this arrogant kid, "ow, by the way~...do you...really plan to adopt me??~..."

Lan Xichen, "yes, XingXue~..."

Jiang Cheng, "hm~...but you got to fix your proud attitude, don't do it too much, you will have alot of people badmouthing you, me and my husband~...I don't want that to happen~...do you understand~...and no one should know you are Xiao Xingchen and Xueyang's daughter..we will change-"

"no~...me being my parents daughter, shouldn't be a secret~...and I want to keep my birth name~..."

Jiang Cheng sighed, "sure~...but your surname will change to Lan~...Lan XingXue is your birth name and Lan TianXing is your courtesy name~..."

Xiao XingXue nodded, "sure~...not bad~..."

_______________________________________________________________________________

Elderly of Lan and sect leaders and all important cultivators gathered at throne hall of Lan...

murmurring all about and gasping after Lan Xichen announcing his offcial adoption of Xueyang and Xiao Xingchen's biological daughter...

"we're okay with Xiao Xingchen~, but Xueyang~...no, no~...we're disagree~...she can't be raised as Lan~..."

"We are not having 2nd version of Xueyang in our sacred household!..."

Other bad things thrown to XinGXue who was listening with her disgust expression on her face, suddenly she mock the elderly as she scoffed, "sacred household my foot~...seeing how you're judging me, you're really think you're that sacred??~..."

She speaks that, the elderlies looked at her with shocked at how this little girl could speak rudely like that...

"wh-what..how dare you speaks like that to an elderly?!..."

"you little kid~...you're really your mother's daughter~...you're just evil like him~..."

"no wonder she's Xueyang's daughter, you're nothing like Xiao Xingchen!..."

Jiang Cheng looked at XingXue, Lan Xichen try to stop her but she ignored him and continue speaking her thoughts and fire back those elderlies..

"I am Xueyang's daughter, I am my mother's daughter, my father said that too everyday~...I don't want to be ashamed for being Xueyang's daughter~...I am too!, proud to be my father's daughter~...and yeah~, that's the dark side of me, I am evil~...I'm half-evil, and half-angel, since i have both of it~...I will be whatever, depends on how people treat me~, i believe that's what being human is all about, every human has their evil and angel sides~...you old people too have your own good and evil sides~...judging, mocking and looked down at people are sins too, don't you know that??even killing??~...i have my good sides in me but, I'm sorry, I refuse to show that to just random people~..."

People still looking at her with judging looks as she continued, "and lastly..." she stride forward and stood infront of those elderlies with her confident and serious looks...

"you heard Lan ZhongZhu, and Jiang ZhongZhu...ah!I mean...MY mother and MY father??~...." she smirks...

She have the nerve to say that confidently without ashame, judge Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen amused at his adoptive daughter's confident, although its really breaking the rules of Lan...

"tch!how nonsense this child!..."

"THAT'S THE FACT!..." she paused silencing those elderly who was glaring at her, flinching everyone in the room, "From today onwards~, I am Lan XingXue or Lan TianXing, officially the daughter...adoptive daughter of Lan Xichen and Jiang WanYin, meaning to say I am now the highest young miss of Lan Sect~...that's mean, I'm way of higher status than all of you, Lan Elderlies??~...Ah, no~...even without being that, I actually could easily makes you dissapeared like a thin air or maybe just turned you into a puppets??~...but i choose not to~...I have promised my parents to live a better life in repaying my mother who have died for giving birth to me~...so, you're lucky~..."

"you-"

"mind your words!..or i will not hesitate releasing Tianyang and kill you~..." she said with serious face and deadly glares...

She stepped backwards, giving the silenced elderlies as she turned her heels and walked away from the hall...

As the little girl have left, the lan elderlies looked at Lan Xichen who was smiling, "Lan ZhongZhu~...y-you're seriously...going to raise that rude child~..."

Jiang Cheng sighed, Lan Xichen retorted his charming smile into serious at the elderly, "I AM serious...and she's right~...she is the 2nd young miss of Jiang and 2nd Young miss of Lan~...I want you to refrain yourself talking about any of my children, including XingXue~...or else, all of you will be punish by me~..."

Lan elderlies saw that the leader of Lan serious face, they couldn't say anything, just agreeing to the Lan leaders...probably waiting for the time to destroy her...

Jiang Cheng eyed at the direction where XingXue went earlier, the eyes of despised, as for Lan Xichen he draw smile on his face, pray to the heavens to give him strength to protect the girl he just adopted...

Meanwhile, Meng Yao, he have planned a thousand things in his head, this girl seems powerful, he could have her to be with his Ah Jian, seems like Ah Jian is fond of A Xue...and this is a good thing...

"a'niang~...A Xue is amazing~..."

Meng Yao looked down at his son who was smiling...

"Is she, son?~..."

"Hm~..."

Meng Yao smiled as he looked up, drawing a meaningful smiles, not knowing what's coming to him soon that could make him forget about his plan...

Lan Xia or Lan YueXiang were excited to befriend with her new younger siblings, whereas Lan Ming or Lan JingYi with his bitter eyes resembles his mother, while Lan Jian or Lan Guang Yang seems like his heart was flattering ever since he saw XingXue... 'Xiao XingXue~...I want to befriend with you~...'
