Chapter 443 Yun Xiao Gets Drunk

He did not expect that an honest person like Yu Ding would understand.

Standing at the door of the rear hall of the Sea God Temple in Anshui City, Li Changshou’s old immortal paper effigy took a deep breath as he watched the immortals leave on a cloud. The fragrance of immortal wine mixed with the clamor of the mortal world made Li Changshou feel like it was a lifetime ago.

At that moment, when he looked forward and saw the various things that had happened since he started cultivating, he felt that... It was not stable enough.

How many times had he almost been erased by the Heavenly Dao? How many times had he almost become the ashes of the tribulation!?!

It was best not to think too much about flashy things like the Cosmic Box. The most urgent thing now was to develop a little thing that could determine his condition.

He was constantly monitoring himself to see if he was affected by the Great Tribulation and if he did things differently from before. Previously, he had thought that the Tribulation Cloud would affect the Qi Refinement cultivators’ emotions and interfere with their judgment. Therefore, he had created Kongming’s Dao heart to guard against it. He did not expect that there would be a self-examination device! It was far from complete! From now on, he would go to the Purple Cloud Palace to sign the God roll. He would only destroy the demons at the border of the North Continent that were against the heavens and organize some recruitment activities for the Heavenly Courts.

He had to spend the rest of his time perfecting his Dao. That would be his greatest trump card in the future!

One of them.

He turned around and flicked his sleeve. The tables and chairs in the rear hall turned into powder. Li Changshou’s paper effigy burrowed into the ground and began to think about a few related problems. How could he continue to improve the defense ability of the Little Qiong Peak? How could he prevent the enemy from targeting Ling’e and the others? The Heavenly Courts?

This matter seemed simple, but there were huge hidden dangers. The Heavenly Courts was the place that was most affected by the Heavenly Dao. There was no real safe house in the Primordial World. Everything was relative. He could only push his confidence to 98%.

He had to make arrangements for the 108 senior Demon soldiers in Anshui City.

If someone was willing to be hired by him to be a “security guard” for retirement after they got rid of their mental demons, that might not be a bad thing. Life and death were no small matter. Living was the most basic authority of living beings. In order to protect the safety of the people around him, he could only try his best to deceive these old human heroes.

For that, Li Changshou could only accept it even if he felt a little guilty. Li Changshou’s mind returned to the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak. He stretched his back and casually waved to the side. Eight jade talismans flew over and formed the shape of the Eight Trigrams. They emitted streams of light. A dense, three-dimensional map appeared in front of Li Changshou. It was the structure of the Little Qiong Peak’s defensive array formation.

“Yes, the next step is to create the (Satellite Fire Platform).”

He did not have to worry about treasures. Anyway, he had already promised the Goddess that he would give her five hundred. When the time came, he would draw more and continue to obtain some Connate soil. By the way, five fingers refer to 500 pages, right? Right...

Crack!

Li Changshou raised his hand and hit his forehead. He felt a little uncomfortable.

He seemed to have seen the goddess secretly laughing at him and the miserable state that he would be in for some time in the future.

He did not make it clear at that time!

If he really locked himself up for five hundred years... With the Goddess’s mystical abilities, it was a good thing. He could increase his cultivation speed and comprehend his own Dao when he was constructing the diagram.

Since he was already there, he should take it easy.

Li Changshou found a pen and paper and wrote a couplet to show his extraordinary “poetic power”. The first verse is “Everything is stable, everything is stable.” The second verse is “A small place will be exposed sooner or later.”

It was rare for him to be angered and reckless.

After Li Changshou finished writing, he carefully tasted it and nodded in satisfaction. He framed the couplets with immortal power and hung them beside his huge ‘stable’ word. In the secret underground chamber, the literary foundation was getting stronger. Li Changshou walked to the portrait of the Grand Pure One and offered three high incense sticks. Then, he bowed deeply and placed the Cosmic Ruler, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and the Floating Flame Flag in front of the incense table.

The Pagoda Master said, “Remember to shout before you fight.” The three treasures flickered and disappeared.

Li Changshou sensed that although the Saint’s technique was very weak and fast, the logic behind it was very profound.

This is a realm that can only be accumulated after countless years. I... can only take a shortcut to enlightenment.

That made Li Changshou feel ashamed.

As he thought about his next detailed plan, Li Changshou suddenly thought of something. Let nature take its course. That was not a reminder. It was just that Li Changshou was a little enlightened. After experiencing so many things, he finally understood the true meaning of those words. He subconsciously closed his eyes and focused. The daily epiphany was completed. After a while, Li Changshou smiled and absorbed all the insights. When he took another step, his footsteps became much lighter. His spiritual perception jumped, as if something good had happened. Li Changshou’s immortal senses, which had been spread out, captured the beautiful figure that flashed past 15,000 kilometers away! Before he could confirm the white figure’s identity, a voice transmission entered his heart and ignored the layers of array formations... “Can you bring Big Brother and Third Sister to the Immortal Du Sect? I will remind them not to tell anyone about you.” It was Fairy Yun Xiao! Li Changshou chuckled and nodded without hesitation.

historical

If I don’t treat my friends sincerely, how can they treat me sincerely?

The disguise of a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect was far from enough. It was not comparable to his current position. There was no need for him to make Yun Xiao unhappy.

However, it was better not to expose the situation of the Little Qiong Peak, lest Master Zhao and Qiong Xiao got worried. After Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Ling’e, he personally rushed to the Black Pool Peak and began a banquet with the personal chef of the Saint of Ren School, the ancient handsome demon, Bai Ze.

In the straw hut, Ling’e giggled guiltily. The second chapter of the plan to save unhappy people!

When Li Changshou saw Bai Ze, the senior expert’s strange attire was reflected in his mind.

Bai Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled at Li Changshou. He deliberately posed flirtatiously. “Ah, Brother, you’re so beautiful!”

With a bang, a five-feet-wide round rock flew out and sent Bai Ze flying.

He even dared to use the same joke twice!

Ahem, no.

“Mr. Bai, I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”

“Hahahaha!”

Bai Ze laughed and returned. Li Changshou did not use much strength, so he naturally would not be injured. “It’s a joke. It’s all a joke. Hahahaha! I’m just accompanying a few young people to have fun and exercise. The Water God is already fine. How can I not know about this?”

“I’m going to cook.” Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and walked towards the expanded “kitchen” in the distance. “I shouldn’t have taught you to play music like this.” Bai Ze smiled and walked forward. He pinched his goatee and smiled. “Is there a distinguished guest who wants to visit?”

“Ling’e called Fairy Yun Xiao to come to the peak as a guest previously.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Just now, Fairy Yun Xiao asked if you could invite Senior Gongming and Fairy Qiong Xiao to come together. I agreed.”

“Huh?”

Bai Ze was shocked. “You’re not hiding anymore?”

“I can’t hide anymore.” Li Changshou shook his head and put on an apron skillfully. “There are eight dishes per person. Are there enough ingredients?”

Bai Ze smiled and said, “I’ll send a voice transmission and ask Ling’e to look for a few spiritual beasts on Little Qiong Peak. This time, I’ll focus on the meat and water element. How about that?”

“Okay.”

Li Changshou agreed and began to wash the knives skillfully.

Not long after, Ling’e used her immortal power to fly over with a few carefully selected spiritual beasts. One of them was... a long-necked sheep who had been tortured by Xiong Lingli and had become depressed.

The three of them got busy inside and outside the kitchen.

After Bai Ze arrived at the Immortal Du Sect, Lingle did not need to cook anymore. At that moment, she was only helping the two chefs who were competing with each other.

Ling’e had completely given up on using delicacies to conquer her senior brother many years ago. She was the one who was getting conquered! After being busy for an hour, Ling’e pieced together four short tables and laid the carpet beside the pool. She got busy and lit up the two palace lamps by the lake. Then, she set up exquisite jade cutlery and began to prepare for the paper effigies to play music at night. What a master at setting the right ambiance. At dusk, a chuckle sounded beside the pool. A white fog appeared on the surface of the water. A certain thin and smooth mountain-protecting array formation felt very disgraceful. The white fog gradually thickened, and the universe trembled slightly. A beautiful figure walked over from the lake. Ling’e looked up and her eyes lit up. The person was Yun Xiao.

Even though he had seen it previously, it still made his Dao heart tremble.

Her graceful figure did not add to her charm. Her curves were slender and did not appear enchanting. She was dressed in a white dress made of light muslin and a shawl made of condensed clouds. Her long black hair hung behind her like a waterfall and she had a simple hairstyle. “Sister Yun Xiao!”

Ling’e exclaimed softly when she was kneeling in front of the zither, and immediately went forward. Suddenly, a chuckle sounded from behind Yun Xiao. It was a young girl dressed in a light purple dress. She had a pretty face and looked similar to Yun Xiao. However, her eyes were filled with spiritual light. She was naturally Fairy Qiong Xiao. Qiong Xiao smiled and said, “Sister, have we taken in another foster sister?” Before Yun Xiao could answer and Ling’e could introduce him, she heard hearty laughter from the clouds. Zhao Gongming, who was dressed in armor, walked over on the water. The fluctuations of the universe stopped. Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Two meals with Changgeng in a day, Wonderful, wonderful!” Yun Xiao tiptoed and floated to the shore with the breeze.

She bowed slightly to Ling’e, and Lingle hurriedly returned the gesture. Yun Xiao said gently, “Ling’e, let me introduce you. This is my elder brother, Gongming. He is the first breeze in the world. He has been on good terms with the three of us since ancient times. This is my third sister, Qiong Xiao. She loves to tease others. You have to be careful.” Qiong Xiao could not help but complain. “Sister, you’re really... Yes, yes. My junior sister is the closest to me.”

“Hahahaha!”

Zhao Gongming laughed loudly and added, “This is not just Changgeng’s junior sister. She will probably be his Dao companion in the future.”

“What!?”

Qiong Xiao widened her eyes and took out the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors. “I’ll go and kill this playboy!” Yun Xiao frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao helplessly.

Zhao Gongming immediately stopped laughing. Qiong Xiao hid the scissors behind her back. Her anger turned into obedience. “Of course, you have to agree, Sister, right?” Ling’e blinked. Fairy Yun Xiao was so gentle. Why did she feel so... dignified?

However, Ling’e was soon shocked by the scene.

Three disciples of the eight Saints of Jie School had arrived!

There was really no one else in Li Changshou’s social circle.

“Senior Gongming, Senior Qiong Xiao, please take a seat here,” Ling’e hurriedly said. “My senior brother and Mr. Bai are busy in the kitchen. They should be in the pot now and have not come out to welcome us in time.”

Yun Xiao said gently, “It’s fine. Ling’e, don’t be nervous.”

Zhao Gongming squinted and smiled. “Just call me Brother. I’m considered an old friend of your Senior Brother. I’m also the first person in Jie School to befriend your Senior Brother!”

Ling’e thought, ‘I’ve heard Senior Brother complain about being dragged into Jie School by you.’ “Brother Gongming...”

“Hahaha!”

Zhao Gongming took out a jade flute made of white jade from his sleeve. “I heard from Second Sister that you like music the most. I’ll give this to you lest your senior brother scolds me for being stingy.” It was a good tradition of the Little Qiong Peak to not reject gifts! Ling’e took the jade flute with both hands and bowed to thank him.

However, Qiong Xiao said, “I didn’t prepare any gifts in advance. If you encounter any trouble in the future, just tell me your name. I’ll help you once. How about that?” Ling’e smiled and said, “Thank you, Fairy.” Over at the kitchen, Li Changshou and Bai Ze had already used their immortal powers to carry seven to eight steaming jade plates. They slowly walked over and invited them to take a seat.

Fairy Yun Xiao bowed to Li Changshou. After Li Changshou put away his apron, he bowed and greeted Zhao Gongming and Fairy Qiong Xiao. Ling’e used the two paper effigies to play music, while Bai Ze used his mystical abilities to make the pool glow. Li Changshou, the host, raised his cup and toasted...

The immortal banquet began.

Li Changshou, Bai Ze, and Zhao Gongming sat on one side while Yun Xiao, Ling’e, and Qiong Xiao sat on the other.

Not long after, Bai Ze and Zhao Gongming chatted passionately, as if they were wishing that they had met sooner. Qiong Xiao and Ling’e quickly became familiar with each other. Qiong Xiao, who had wanted to put Ling’e in her place, could not bring herself to do it.

Qiong Xiao tried a few mouthfuls of Li Changshou’s dishes...

“Second Sister, marry him!” Qiong Xiao gave him a thumbs-up. Ding! The corners of her eyes lit up. “I made a killing!” Yun Xiao frowned slightly. Qiong Xiao hurriedly lowered her head and ate. Yun Xiao reprimanded, “Everything needs to be done step by step. Since you are so free, why can’t you listen to what they have to say? This is the most important thing now.” Qiong Xiao listened carefully and heard her elder brother, Zhao Gongming, say, “Every time there is a great tribulation, there will be killing. Mr. Bai, which side do you think the killing should be on?”

“That’s hard to say.” Bai Ze raised his wine cup and took a sip. “The Great Tribulation is to weaken the power of living beings. Whoever goes to deal with the tribulation will be judged by their own luck, fortune, and the connection with the Great Tribulation. Moreover, there are countless variables.” Li Changshou also said, “Mr. Bai is right. Brother, no matter what you do later, remember to discuss it with me. At this moment, I’m not the only one who can come up with ideas for you. As a wise mighty figure of the Ancient Demon Court, Mr. Bai naturally has a brilliant plan.”

“Ah”

Bai Ze waved his hand. “It’s not worth mentioning. I only know a little.”

Li Changshou winked at Zhao Gongming, who immediately understood. Bai Ze was good at scheming and was afraid of being praised. Qiong Xiao suddenly asked, “Mr. Bai, in terms of developing schemes, how did the Demon Master Kun Peng compare to you in terms of intelligence during ancient times?”

“Kun Peng is abnormally cunning, good at scheming, and quick-witted. However, he is not good at scheming. In terms of intelligence, he can only be considered top-notch.”

Bai Ze’s eyes were filled with memories. “I have fought with him countless times... Of course, it was in the Demon Court. Kun Peng is a little obstinate and self-opinionated. However, it was precisely because of this that he does not have any feelings for the Demon Court. He also regarded the demons as weeds. He did not have any thoughts of good or evil. He only benefited himself and was not beneficial to himself. This kind of expert is the hardest to deal with.”

Fairy Yun Xiao looked at Li Changshou and reminded him, “If you encounter Kun Peng, you have to protect yourself. Call more people to fight him.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said warmly, “You guys are the same. Don’t be affected by the tribulation when you meet a powerful enemy.”

“Alright, alright.” Qiong Xiao waved her fair hand and began to cause trouble today. “Let’s drink and play. Why are we discussing such a serious matter? Come, Sister, let me toast you.” Yun Xiao did not understand. “Why are you toasting to me?”

However, she still picked up the jade bottle and drank with her foster sister.

Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming exchanged glances. Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with curiosity. Zhao Gongming nodded calmly. Hence, the banquet to persuade Yun Xiao began.

However, Li Changshou had witnessed Fairy Yun Xiao’s “terrifying” side today. They agreed not to use immortal power, Dao runes, and essence souls to offset the effects of the wine. However, Fairy Yun Xiao could not get drunk after a long time. It was completely different from the information that Qiong Xiao had given him back then.

Perhaps Connate lifeforms had some awareness and were indeed different from Postnatal lifeforms. Not long after, Qiong Xiao lay on the carpet. Her face was red and she burped.

Bai Ze was dizzy. He lay on the table in a daze. Zhao Gongming’s face quickly turned red. He went to a tree in the distance and hugged it. He sang a ballad in the wind.

Ling’e could not stand the alcohol and groaned as she supported her forehead.

At that moment, Yun Xiao blushed and looked at Li Changshou. She suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.

Her smile was really like a blooming flower. It was so brilliant. In the moonlight and the sparkling light from the pool, it was actually so intoxicating. Yun Xiao said, “Do you guys still want to get me drunk?”

“This...”

Li Changshou could not help but laugh. “Did I win?”

Yun Xiao raised her chin slightly. There was a hint of smugness in her eyes. “Previously, I was always embarrassed when I was drunk. I was often teased by Second Sister and Third Sister. I specially trained my alcohol tolerance. Yes, the wine you brewed is delicious.”

As she spoke, she placed the jade bottle beside her face and looked at Li Changshou. There was a faint smile on her lips and her eyes were filled with light. Li Changshou raised his wine glass and asked warmly, “Do you still want to drink?”

“No, I’ll really get drunk if I drink any more.” Yun Xiao shook her head gently. “I always like to dance when I’m drunk. That’s not dignified. I have to set an example for Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I want to see it.” Yun Xiao thought for a while and casually tapped Bai Ze, Zhao Gongming, and Qiong Xiao with a cloud. She stood up and said to Li Changshou, “In that case, I’ll dance just this once.”

As she spoke, the fairy hummed a few songs and floated to the pool beside her. She did not cause any ripples on the water surface. She walked under the moonlight and walked to the middle of the pool. The flowing water played music, and the breeze accompanied the heart. She first turned around and danced under the moon. Her jade-like arms swayed gently, and her shoulders floated up. A misty cloud appeared above the pool. She waved her arms lovingly and her sleeves fluttered.

Yun Xiao’s eyes were a little blurry. Her movements were gentle and smooth. As her skirt rose and fell, she looked like a divine bird circling around. As her body swayed, she displayed the pinnacle of being a fairy and a woman. Li Changshou was actually a little engrossed. He sat there without getting distracted and his eyes were clear.

Li Changshou then realized that Ling’e and Yun Xiao had made arrangements beforehand. Ling’e carried a jade zither to the side of the pool. She closed her eyes and focused, carefully comprehending. Her pretty face, which was still a little cute, was full of intoxication. She gently fiddled with it with her fingertips, and the music seemed to have merged into the clouds.

Li Changshou leaned back and placed his hands on the carpet. He admired the rare beauty and smiled faintly.

From now on, he had to steadily protect them from the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

Even if he had to fight against the heavens.

Ahem, it was just like how Lu Ya’s death had balanced the Heavenly Dao and discussed it with him. He wanted to do something more to protect the four outer sect disciples of Jie School from the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

He had gone to fight against the Heavenly Dao after the Great Magi-Demon Tribulation in the Primordial World...

He might as well think about how to leave the Primordial World and become neighbors with the octopus in the Chaos Sea! Li Changshou suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart and continued to look at the beautiful scenery in front of him. He was once again intoxicated. Isn’t that right? She danced quite well. Such a normal “dance” was beautiful and moving, but he was vaguely... a little disappointed.

He thought that there would be a ten-thousand-year-old legend of fairies jumping around.
