Chapter 276 - 175: Youwan Will Be Very Obedient

Chapter 276: Chapter 175: Youwan Will Be Very Obedient

But later, the Celestial Dao stopped doling out punishment proportional to the crime. Instead, it seemed to mete out penalties on a whim.

When a Cultivator made a mistake, even a minor one, the Celestial Dao would send a fatal tribulation. Many whose crimes did not warrant death had their lives cruelly snatched away by the Celestial Tribulation, their bodies and Daos perishing.

Cultivation was never easy.

The Desire Demon was already a lurking threat, and now with the Celestial Dao’s obstruction, achieving the Dao had become even more difficult.

Lu Changyuan said slowly, "Later, several other Cultivators were completely powerless against the Kai Yang Thunder Tribulation when they tried to ascend. They all perished, their bodies and Daos destroyed."

The Chang’an Daoist had suppressed the Desire Demon, and the Mortal World was finally experiencing a rare boom in talent. Just as everything was looking prosperous, the Celestial Dao started acting up.

How could anyone stand for that?

On top of that, Lu Changyuan had been suppressing the Desire Demon for too long, and his Cultivation was about to become deficient. Just as Leng Moyuan happened to be Ascending Yao Guang, he seized that final chance to erupt against the Celestial Dao.

He wanted to see if he could ascend beyond Yao Guang.

And also to dodge his apprentice.

He never expected that one eruption would get himself killed.

Lu Changyuan had later asked Jiang Jiayi how the Celestial Dao had been during the five hundred years he was gone.

Jiang Jiayi replied that the Celestial Dao had restrained itself considerably, but unexpectedly, it had started acting erratically again recently.

’Looks like it’s missing a good beating from the Daoist Sect Master.’

Su Youwan asked, "In that case, if the Celestial Dao behaves obediently, will Young Master Lu still hit it?"

"Hm?" Lu Changyuan glanced at Su Youwan and noticed a rare cautiousness on the Silver-haired Maiden’s face. The more he heard her words, the stranger they sounded, but he couldn’t quite grasp her meaning no matter how he mulled it over.

So he could only say, "Whether it’s obedient... is useless, Miss Su. The Celestial Dao shouldn’t have emotions. It’s supposed to treat everyone with impartial indifference."

Su Youwan said, "But Youwan will be very obedient."

’What good is you being obedient?’

Lu Changyuan smiled helplessly.

He looked around. Were there any disobedient women near him? The Little Fairy in a White Skirt, the Black Skirt Fairy... each one was more obedient than the last.

Even his quasi-apprentice, Jiang Jiayi, was very obedient, despite her Cultivation now being higher than his.

’Heaven knows how they all got along with each other after I was gone.’

Lu Changyuan thought for a moment.

’It’s probably better not to know.’

Qiu Yuehan snorted coldly. "The two of you are quite the lovebirds, a match made in heaven."

Lu Changyuan didn’t dare to say a word.

Su Youwan, however, naturally continued the conversation. "Sister Qiu, what’s there to be jealous about? While Youwan was unconscious just now, you were being intimate with Young Master Lu right in front of Youwan, and Youwan didn’t even get angry."

Qiu Yuehan scoffed.

’She calls me "Sister" so sweetly,’ she thought. ’If Junior Sister were here, you’d be immobilized instantly, then forced to listen from behind the folding screen.’

’Angry?’

’You wouldn’t even get to drink the soup.’

The Moon Fairy had already realized it was impossible to reason with Su Youwan. This Little Ancestor from the Compassionate Palace had always spoken strangely, not like a normal person.

’Some Supreme Goddess. In the room, she’s even more shameless than I am. How vulgar!’

So, Qiu Yuehan said to Lu Changyuan, "My dear Master, if Junior Sister finds out you’ve been fooling around outside all day, you won’t have any free time when you get home."

After thinking it over, Qiu Yuehan decided to sell out Xia Lianxue.

"Junior Sister said she wants to punish you with me. I imagine that even if you’ve learned the Stupid Fox’s Magic, you won’t be able to resist Junior Sister’s powerful Time Dao."

?

’Good thing I’m a fast runner.’

’If they really caught me, I could handle it, but I’d definitely have to deal with the two of them for several days, leaving no time for anything else.’

So, he glanced at Mei Zhaozhao, who was lying on the bed with her large tail covering her eyes, and decided to change the subject.

"Why isn’t she awake yet? Try slapping her a couple of times."

Only then did Qiu Yuehan reply, "I already did. She’s in the middle of Cultivation. It’ll probably be a while before she wakes up."

’She already did!?’

’Two hard slaps must have done some real damage to the fox.’

Lu Changyuan pushed Su Youwan away, stretched his limbs a little, pushed open the window, and took a deep breath. It was noon, and a series of sounds drifted in from outside.

Not far away, it sounded like people were drinking and practicing their swordplay.

’A group with refined tastes.’

That’s the Qingcao Sword Sect for you—stealing a year of leisure from a floating life.

"Now that things here are settled, I’ll head back... hm?"

Su Youwan asked, "What is it?"

Lu Changyuan felt the Five Desires and Six Dust Heart Transformation Technique beginning to circulate.

A strange aura was pulling at him, ultimately stirring a certain desire.

The desire for wealth.

Just a few days ago, Lu Changyuan had been wondering how to fulfill this desire for wealth, but he couldn’t think of a way on such short notice.

It’s not like there was something called a "Wealth Demon" in this world that he could just eat to satisfy it.

He couldn’t possibly go to the Mortal World and start gnawing on some silver taels, could he?

He had just been worrying about having no solution, but unexpectedly, he was getting a reaction now.

Lu Changyuan decided to follow the feeling and go take a look.
