I didn't resist on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I've done this many times before, and I'm already numb to it.
Beauty is merely a means to an end.
"Doesn't Your Highness also have something on your mind? Otherwise, why would you be waiting for me here?"
Xiao Yu chuckled twice, without any emotion, and picked her up horizontally.
"I thought you, you little vixen, would stay tonight to appease that Li Bai."
"Your Highness should keep your mouth shut. As a celestial being, how could I be tempted by beauty?"
I would like to serve him, but alas, my appearance is too plain to meet his approval.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes: "What? He dares to look down on the woman I've set my sights on?"
But are you sure he's a real immortal?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she hooked her arm around his neck and gently ran her other fingernail across his throat.
Xiao Yu broke out in a cold sweat. He could feel the sharpness of the fingernails, which made the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Your Highness, you need to understand one thing: your good godfather and that carefree immortal, if they are not immortals from heaven, who could defeat them?"
I don't want to hear any more words of doubt or slander against the Immortal Master from your mouth, do you understand?
"Without us, do you think you could still hold onto your position as a prince?"
A surge of anger rose in Xiao Yu's heart. This woman used to be so obedient to him.
After that damn immortal appeared today, this woman actually dared to threaten me.
Is it really because they have a powerful backer?
"Without me, do you think you could control the Northern Li kingdom?"
"Hehe, why is Your Highness angry? I was just joking with you. We're just doing this for mutual benefit, aren't we?"
"That would be best! Remember your place. Even without you, I can still conquer this land."
Li Taibai had excellent hearing; nothing in the entire Red King's mansion could escape his ears.
"That's interesting. Who should we send to heaven then?"
Li Taibai closed his eyes, but another figure appeared in the darkness—it was Zhou Huanzhen.
Zhou Zhenhuan yawned as he looked at Li Taibai.
"Are you getting addicted to this? We're all in this together. I know everything you see and hear, so why bother?"
Li Taibai rolled his eyes: "Just playing around, besides, this way it's more ceremonial."
And I've thought of something fun, something big to try, what do you think?
Zhou Zhenhuan raised an eyebrow: "You want to use this opportunity to go up?"
“Yeah, don’t you think this would be a lot of fun? After all, Luo Qingyang has quite a reputation up there, so I’ve decided to change my name once I get there.”
The seal on the human world is only for a hundred years. Passively waiting is not our style; we must take the initiative.
Your physical body is entangled with the Heavenly Dao and cannot easily leave. I am merely a wisp of your divine consciousness, and will not be noticed by the Heavenly Dao.
Anyway, even if I die, there will be thousands upon thousands of Luo Qingyangs, won't there?
Chapter 207 Lei Wujie, who sees through everything
With Zhou Zhenhuan's current strength, it would be easy for him to split off tens of thousands of divine thoughts.
The purpose of staging this play by Li Bai was simply to block Bai Yujing's escape route.
As for the clones, they completely inherited his strength and some of his personality.
Zhou hadn't expected that this person was a radical, with their own thoughts and opinions.
This experience is quite magical.
Zhou Zhenzhen wouldn't object to Li Taibai's suggestion; it was indeed a rather interesting matter.
Li Taibai's decision to steal someone else's Ascension Order on the first day of the Lunar New Year has caused internal strife within the White Jade Capital in the martial arts world. It's easy to imagine that, for the sake of this ascension spot, the other leaders won't just stand by and watch.
If Li Bai were to inadvertently reveal even a hint, it would be enough to cause internal strife in Baiyujing to lead to its own destruction.
Even if other forces in the martial arts world learn of this news, they will get involved.
It could easily unleash a bloody storm in the martial arts world.
However, Zhou really didn't care, because he could cover his own losses.
With him around, the martial world won't descend into chaos.
"Since you've already made up your mind, then give it a try."
We only know a tiny fraction of what happens in the heavens; there are certainly extraordinary masters among them. Be careful when you act recklessly.
Li Taibai chuckled and waved his hand: "If you're careful, is that still considered reckless? I am you, and I know you're not exactly a peaceful person either, but you're too lazy, so I'm the one who has to cause trouble."
Ah, I'm going to bed now. Perhaps I should find two beautiful maids to warm my bed.
Zhou Zhen's face darkened: "Get out!"
With a flick of his sleeve, he disconnected.
That bastard certainly knows how to enjoy himself, while I, the best in the world, am still just a fledgling.
Bah! You scoundrel, you corrupt my Daoist heart! How could I, a dignified immortal, possibly care about such low tastes?
I am a noble person, someone who has transcended base desires.
You're just a small piece of paper, do you have that function?
"Master, what are you doing hiding here?"
Sikong Qianluo, holding two little rabbits, peeked out, and then the two little rabbits also peeked out and peered through the door.
All I saw was Zhou Zhenhuan, who was angrily muttering to himself.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Sikong Qianluo saw her master turn around and his face was calm and composed again, as if she had just misread it.
"The banquet is over?"
Sikong Qianluo scratched the little rabbit's head, her eyes full of question marks. Could she have really seen wrong?
"Hmm, the Imperial Advisor has left?"
"We've been walking for a while now."
"Why aren't you eating here all by yourself?"
"What's the point of eating with a bunch of brats like you? You're too noisy. It's quiet here."
Sikong Qianluo had no doubts, after all, her master was indeed a person who liked peace and quiet.
Seeing Zhou Zhenhuan waving at her, Sikong Qianluo skipped into the room, placed the two rabbits in Zhou Zhenhuan's hands, and then sat down to the side, stretching lazily without any regard for her image.
"What's wrong? Are you tired lately?"
Sikong Qianluo nodded, a hint of confusion on her face.
"It's a bit tiring. I feel that my current life is very different from what I imagined."
Back in Snowmoon City, I didn't have to worry about anything.
I practice martial arts, ride horses, hunt, and play every day, and I'm very happy every day.
But now...sigh..."
Sikong Qianluo sighed heavily, her heart filled with melancholy.
Zhou Zhenhuan reached out and touched her head. The two little rabbits also stretched out their little paws, but couldn't reach her, so they could only touch each other's heads.
"After all, we're all grown up now."
Sikong Qianluo was stunned, watching her master withdraw his hand, feeling lost and forlorn.
"Master, do people have a lot of worries when they grow up?"
"Not at all. Look, I'm so much older than you, yet I have no worries."
Ultimately, it's all because of you guys; you're too weak, tsk tsk.
Hearing Zhou Zhenhuan's mockery, Sikong Qianluo was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and became quite furious.
"Master! Do you want to hear what you just said?"
"Isn't that right? When I was your age..."
"Master~~~~~~"
"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. But you have to admit, if you're strong enough, you'll have far fewer worries."
Okay, okay, I won't talk about this anymore.
"Hmm, is your current trouble because of gloom?"
Sikong Qianluo bit her lip and stared at Zhou Zhenhuan without saying a word.
Then Zhou Zhenhuan stared at her without saying a word.
Finally, the little girl's eyes turned red, and tears streamed down her face.
Why aren't you blinking?
Zhou Zhenhuan raised an eyebrow: "You lost if you blinked first. I was the one who taught you this game."
"Then won't you let me have my way?"
"Ha, when it comes to something as important as winning or losing, how can we back down?"
Sikong Qianluo ran out crying, leaving behind the words, "Master is so annoying."
Zhou really felt innocent.
Xiao Se walked in with his hands in his sleeves, glancing back every now and then. It was obvious that he had bumped into Sikong Qianluo, who had run out crying.
"Oh, youngest brother. Come here, I was just about to ask you, how did you bully my precious eldest disciple?"
Xiao Se paused, his eyes twitching as he wondered if it was too late to back out.
"Master, why are you accusing me first? Qianluo, she..."
"Shut up, you unfilial disciple, that's your senior sister."
"Huh? So what? Can't Senior Sister call me by my name?"
Then Lei Wujie watched as Xiao Se was sent flying backwards, coughing up blood.
Lei Wujie shrank back in fright and tiptoed away, only to find that his feet were off the ground.
Then the world spun around him, and he was hung upside down.
“Master, I’ve been very well-behaved lately and haven’t done anything bad.”
"Yes, your teacher knows you're the best."
"But so much time has passed, why haven't you broken through yet, you blockhead?"
"Hehehe... Master, shouldn't these things be left to nature?"
That makes sense.
"Right, right? Master, why don't you put me down first? No, Master, don't go, put me down..."
Ye Ruoyi looked at Lei Wujie, who was hanging upside down, and shook her head helplessly.
"You, Senior Zhou didn't use much force, you can just break free on your own, right?"
As she spoke, she pointed her finger, and Lei Wujie felt as if an invisible rope had snapped. He bared his teeth and shouted a few times before Ye Ruoyi lifted him up and straightened him.
"Hehe, thanks Ruoyi. But it's strange, don't you think Master seems a bit irritable today?"
Ye Ruoyi watched Zhou Huanzhen's retreating figure and slowly nodded: "It seems so. Is it because he was injured today?"
"Speaking of which, it's quite strange. Master only broke the skin on his finger. With Master's strength, he could have certainly captured that immortal, but he didn't."
Moreover, I always felt that the immortal Li Bai knew my master, and they were very close.
Could it be that Master and Li Bai are acting in our shoes?
