Chapter 274 - 175: Youwan Will Be Very Obedient

Chapter 274: Chapter 175: Youwan Will Be Very Obedient

Su Youwan hovered high in the sky, looking down upon the desolate Mortal World.

The Goddess looked upon the world with pity.

Before the Supreme, all living things are equal.

She lowered her gaze slightly.

Something shot into the sky. Its body was the color of deep ink, its reversed scales standing up like blades.

The Black Dragon raised its head and let out a sharp roar, as if to vent all its ancient, suppressed rage. With its blood-red maw gaping, it lunged, biting viciously at the sky.

Its every roar was accompanied by rivers flowing backward and the world turning upside down.

This Power was even grander and more vast than Yao Guang’s.

BOOM!

A torrent of heavenly lightning descended.

Ten thousand bolts of heavenly lightning erupted at once. Light wove into a net as the Black Dragon writhed and fell amidst the searing white electricity, finally crashing into the hottest mountain on earth.

A volcano swallowed it.

And so, the Black Dragon fell silent.

The rain began to fall.

At first, it was a fine silk thread, but it soon became a torrential downpour, finally transforming into a boundless curtain of rain that connected heaven and earth.

This rain fell for several thousand years. The rainwater filled the deep chasms, converged into a vast ocean, then washed up mountains and eroded out plains.

The world was reshaped in the deluge.

Until one warm spring day, the clouds parted for the first time to let light through. The rain gradually subsided, warmth awakened from deep within the soil, and the races sprang up like bamboo shoots after a storm.

Su Youwan seemed to hear a voice.

"You really like this texture, don’t you?"

’It sounds like Miss Qiu’s voice. What is she doing?’

Su Youwan opened her eyes to see Qiu Yuehan using a silk cloth to dry her black hair. Her bare back was even more lustrous than the finest white jade.

Her long, perfect legs were resting on Lu Changyuan, seemingly rubbing against him. Her delicate white feet were still slightly damp.

Qiu Yuehan’s figure blocked Lu Changyuan from view, so Su Youwan couldn’t see what the two of them were doing.

Su Youwan turned her head to the side, looking at the light filtering through the window. The sun was bright outside, and it sounded like something festive was happening.

The young woman sat up slightly. "Doing this sort of thing in broad daylight?"

Lu Changyuan was helping Qiu Yuehan put on her black dress, piece by piece. His hand brushed against the Fairy’s skin, causing the Moon Fairy’s snow-white complexion to flush a faint crimson.

Then he said, somewhat irritably, "I’m applying medicine."

Only then did the Silver-haired Maiden notice a red, bloody scratch on the Moon Fairy’s right arm.

It wasn’t very deep, but it looked somewhat... jarring. A wound on jade-like skin was like a crack in fine porcelain—unsettling.

"Miss Qiu is injured? Why did you have to get completely undressed just to apply medicine to your arm? And where are your shoes and socks?"

Qiu Yuehan smirked. "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know. It would have been better if you’d just stayed unconscious."

After Lu Changyuan had brought Su Youwan back, the Silver-haired Maiden had been asleep for several hours, only waking up now.

Su Youwan still felt a little dizzy. She stood up, took two steps over to Lu Changyuan’s side, then naturally sat down on the stool next to him and rested her head on his shoulder.

Qiu Yuehan narrowed her eyes. "Are you provoking me?"

Su Youwan shook her head. "Youwan wouldn’t do such a thing. My head is just really dizzy, and being close to Young Master Lu makes it feel a little better."

Before Qiu Yuehan could say more, the Silver-haired Maiden spoke again. "Is the Celestial Dao Grand Competition over?"

"Yes."

Xue Nichang was beaten by the Moon Fairy with extremely cruel methods, pounded like a hand-made beef ball, leaving only Bai Lu.

The champion would be decided between the two of them.

The top disciple of the Daoist Sect versus the top disciple of Miao Yu Palace.

Magic Sword Dao versus Red Dust Sword Dao.

Qiu Yuehan said coolly, "Bai Lu is very strong. If my past self had fought her, I definitely would not have been able to win."

The Celestial Dao Grand Competition had spanned many rounds and was even disrupted by the Dream Demon and the Ape Race. Through all those battles, Bai Lu was the only one who managed to injure Qiu Yuehan.

This just goes to show Bai Lu’s caliber.

Lu Changyuan smiled. "The Daoist Sect has a worthy successor... Don’t move. I just finished applying the medicine."

Qiu Yuehan nodded.

The Cold Fairy showed a hint of docility, looking about half as obedient as Xia Lianxue.

Originally, after defeating Bai Lu, she was supposed to wait on the platform until dawn to receive the sword, then greet the sun rising over the distant Cloud Sea alone. This was meant to be an honor.

The whole point was to be the one person standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun at the moment of its rising.

And while the Qingcao Sword Sect was unconventional, it still had its proper ceremonies. So afterward, there was also the Sword Ceremony, where ten thousand swords would salute the champion.

The champion was truly showered in glory.

But none of that happened.

Because Qiu Yuehan didn’t care about any of it. She just took the sword, said she was tired, and came to the pavilion to find Lu Changyuan.

As for the sword...

Qiu Yuehan had no particular feelings about the Heaven-Cutting sword. If she wanted one, she could just ask Lu Changyuan for it. Even if she wanted Broken Thought, Lu Changyuan would give it to her.

So, she tossed the sword to Nan Xun. After all, Bai Lu was probably still unconscious.

She had fought with all her might against Qiu Yuehan and still lost. Hopefully, Bai Lu’s Dao Heart wouldn’t be clouded by dust when she woke up.

Su Youwan blinked. "Then what’s going on outside right now?"

She could hear the beating of gongs and drums and the clamor of voices, as if a banquet was in full swing.

Lu Changyuan said, "The Celestial Dao Grand Competition is over, and the rewards have been given to the top twenty-four. People are gradually leaving the Qingcao Sword Sect, but since this is a grand event for the Human Race that only happens once a decade, the Qingcao Sword Sect is holding a banquet."

They have to fulfill their duties as hosts, after all.

Starting from the dawn the champion was decided, the Qingcao Sword Sect will provide spiritual food and wine for ten days. During these ten days, a True Master will also give a lecture on the Dao at the Sword Testing Platform every day.

For the disciples of the Nine Gates and Twelve Palaces, lectures from a True Master are commonplace. But for those from Minor Sects—especially disciples from Minor Sects whose strongest members are only at the Four Realms Celestial Power—this might be one of the few opportunities in their entire lives to see a True Master.
