Chapter 187 A Hefty Gift to Trick Li Changshou
What happened tonight?
In the Immortal Du Sect, Toxic Junior Sister sneaked to Little Qiong Peak.
In the City G.o.d Temple of Anshui, Fairy Yun Xiao appeared quietly in her white dress. She held her hands behind her back in the empty hall and admired the murals on the walls…
Is Li Changshou really that charming?
Uh, it was just a coincidence…
The four delusions of life— ‘I’m very charming’, ‘My parents must have hidden their ident.i.ties as tyc.o.o.ns to temper my personality’, ‘I’m definitely going to profit and not make any losses.’, ‘This man in front of me definitely isn’t a paper effigy.’
Li Changshou would not lie to himself.
Suddenly, he heard Fairy Yun Xiao in the Sea G.o.d Temple ask softly, “Are you really young?”
She seemed to be teasing him.
Li Changshou immediately felt a headache. He had expected Fairy Yun Xiao to know about his background…
No matter how toxic Youqin Xuanya was, to Li Changshou, it was just a small problem in his social circle.
As for Fairy Yun Xiao, she was a true big shot who could easily kill him!
Therefore, Li Changshou did not hesitate and decided to deal with the trouble in the Sea G.o.d Temple first.
Youqin Xuanya had just flown near the Pill Chamber when she heard Li Changshou’s voice.
“Junior Sister Youqin, stay in the Pill Chamber for a while. I suddenly have some realizations. I’ll digest them first.”
After saying that, Li Changshou laid on the rocking chair in front of the door of the Pill Chamber. He closed his eyes and focused as if he was trying to gain Dao enlightenment. An obscure Dao rune floated around him.
Youqin Xuanya immediately nodded and agreed. She quietly landed in front of the Pill Chamber and looked at Li Changshou.
Then, she took out her meditation cus.h.i.+on and sat outside. She enjoyed the night breeze as she quietly waited for Li Changshou’s cultivation to end.
Li Changshou focused his attention on Yougin Xuanya and realized… she was in a daze while gazing at the moon and her expression was a little depressed.
He sighed and thought, I’ll have a good talk with this junior sister later.
If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just become Youqin Xuanya’s guide for once… Following that, Li Changshou activated the paper effigy under the Sea G.o.d Temple and continued to observe Fairy Yun Xiao’s every move through the main G.o.d statue.
Not long after, Fairy Yunxiao said softly, “These stories are quite interesting.”
Li Changshou immediately began to a.n.a.lyze the meaning behind her words, her tone, the emotions in her voice, and the intent she had.
Soon, he came to a conclusion.
Fairy Yun Xiao… Yes, she seems to be in a good mood.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.
The murals that Yun Xiao was looking at were not casually made by the believers of the Sea G.o.d Sect. They were also drawn by Li Changshou.
In the early stages of the development of the Sea G.o.d Sect, in order to increase the cohesiveness of the Sea G.o.d Hall’s believers, the old village chief of Xiong Village, the ‘Strong, Fast And Money-Making Divine Envoys’, made up various stories about the Sea G.o.d that were full of loopholes.
Examples like ‘The Ten Must-Tell Stories of the Sea G.o.d’ and ‘That Night, The Sea G.o.d Slept With Me’ were once popular in the southwest of the South Continent.
Li Changshou took over the Sea G.o.d Sect. When he reorganized the internal affairs of the Sea G.o.d Sect, he made a series of arrangements regarding that problem.
He had cut off more than half of the stories and legends that were similar to each other. He had removed all the cla.s.sics such as ‘The Sea G.o.d’s Three Comforts The Widow On West Street’, ‘The Sea G.o.d and the Seven Seas Immortal’s Daughter’.
Soon after, Li Changshou chose twelve fables from the stories that were spread all over the world. He kept detailing and evolving those stories to make them sound more reasonable. Then, he used the power of the Sea G.o.d Sect to intervene and promote them.
Li Changshou’s thoughts were as clear as ever.
Since he could not resist fate, he would lie down and accept all the mockery that was subjected to him. He would turn his fate around and grasp his destiny to shape it!
Since he had decided to manage the Sea G.o.d Sect, he would hold the entire sect in his hands and reduce the risk!
The reputation of the Sea G.o.d could not be tarnished for no reason!
The twelve huge murals on the walls of the Sea G.o.d Hall of Anshui City corresponded to the twelve fables.
Every mural there was provided by Li Changshou, who had gathered many skilled craftsmen among the mortals. They took months to painstakingly create and were of high artistic value. They had also become the model of the various temples in various places.
Among them, ‘The Old Man and the Sea G.o.d’, ‘The Sea G.o.d Persuades The Guards Thrice’, and ‘The Sea G.o.d Sells Bulls’ were the most favored by devotees and disciples. They were also continuously developed and continued…
Yun Xiao looked at the murals one by one. From time to time, she would nod slightly. Occasionally, she would even smile slightly. It seemed that she was only there to watch and check in…
In the huge main hall, she was the only one walking slowly.
The door of the hall was tightly shut. The few Divine Envoys standing outside naturally could not see the figure of the mighty figure.
While preparing the paper effigy, Li Changshou secretly observed Fairy Yun Xiao through the statue. He praised her in his heart.
She looks elegant and beautiful.
She was dressed in a white dress with flowing clouds, and the hem of her dress was hanging by her feet. When she walked, she looked just like a white cloud floating in the sky, giving off a comfortable and elegant vibe.
Yun Xiao did not tie her hair up today. She simply combed it into a bun that was secured with a hairpin. Compared to the last time she appeared on Three-Immortal Island, she looked less dignified and more elegant.
Just like that, she walked slowly in front of Chief Zhu with her hands behind her back. Her eyes were bright and clear as if she could see through the confusion in the people’s hearts…
Fairy Yun Xiao, what are you doing here?
Li Changshou could not be bothered to admire the beautiful scenery. He kept thinking. Did she come to give me a gift because of what happened previously?
There must be a deeper meaning behind this… Or maybe Yun Xiao wants to get closer to the Ren School through me?
As the Sect Master of the Sea G.o.d Sect and the Little Daoist Master Of Ren School, Li Changshou had to consider that problem.
Although he admired Yun Xiao, it did not affect his judgment. After all, Yun Xiao was a top-notch mighty figure below the Saint. Her words and actions had a deeper meaning.
The two of them were acquaintances who had only met once. Besides, Li Changshou did not think that he had the chance to befriend that mighty figure…
Master Zhao, the Primordial World expert who had such a temperament, was purely an accident in the Primordial World.
Most of the time, there were traps and schemes.
Li Changshou did not dare to let Yun Xiao wait for too long. The paper effigy that was disguised as an old immortal appeared in the backyard of the Sea G.o.d Temple. He immediately rode a cloud to the main hall and said to the few Divine Envoys, “You can leave first.”
“Okay!”
The Divine Envoys of Xiong Village immediately received the order and lowered their heads to retreat.
Following that, Li Changshou flung his horsetail whisk and the doors of the hall slowly opened.
Li Changshou entered with a smile and immediately bowed with a Dao salute.
The fairy who was enjoying the mural turned around and nodded at Li Changshou.
The details…
Clearly, Fairy Yun Xiao had confirmed that he was a junior of the Dao Sect.
Li Changshou took the opportunity to say, “Senior, I’m sorry for not welcoming you in a grand manner. Please forgive me.”
“Fellow Daoist, you’re too polite.” Yun Xiao replied gently and took a step forward. “Actually, I think I’m not behaving like a guest. I did not know that you would come here directly, Fellow Daoist.”
Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He sighed softly in his heart.
Speaking of which, Fairy Yun Xiao’s gentle voice sounds really nice…
Unfortunately, I do not dare to have more interactions with the Three Xiao Immortals.
“Senior, you visited at night. Are you here for something?”
“It’s nothing important,” Yun Xiao said gently. “Previously, Fellow Daoist, you helped me in time and saved my elder brother and third sister. I’m very grateful, so I wanted to return your favor.”
Li Changshou gave that fairy a thumbs-up.
Clearly, Yun Xiao did not want to be involved in karma with others. That was somewhat similar to him.
It was a good thing that he took the initiative to sever karma.
“Senior, you’re being too serious.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Senior, you’ve already given me a lot of face by coming to this place. You don’t need to mention any previous favors.”
Yunxiao slowly shook her head and said, “If you don’t accept this gift, I’m afraid my heart will not be at peace. I hope you can help me, Fellow Daoist.”
“Well… Then I’ll be impolite.” Li Changshou bowed and muttered to himself.
What kind of thank-you gift would Yunxiao give me?
