My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Jade Emperor's Troubles

Fortunately, things did not go awry. After drying the blood, Qi Yuan turned around in time. He stood up and retreated, taking the initiative to distance himself.

Otherwise, Li Changshou would really throw a beginner version of “Aged Beauties” over. “Daoist Priest,” the vixen called out nervously. Qi Yuan hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, please maintain this distance between us! I lost my composure. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist. However, this place is the Dao Sect of the Grand Pure One… Fellow Daoist, you should put on all your clothes so that you don't make others get the wrong idea.”

“Yes, Daoist Priest,” the vixen replied softly and took out a long robe from her bracelet. She originally wanted to carefully fold and put away that dress, but just as she moved, the blood on it suddenly emitted ice-blue flames.

The chiffon dress turned into ashes in the cackling fire.

The vixen was unharmed. She could not even feel the heat from the flames. She was at a loss.

Qi Yuan had already heard Li Changshou's voice transmission.

“Fellow Daoist, why don't you follow me? I've already ordered my disciple to prepare tea. Everything can be discussed.” After saying that, Qi Yuan turned around and walked forward. Some of the chain trapping array formations in the forest were undone, allowing the two of them to reach the open-air tea room without any obstructions.

When Li Changshou had modified the Little Qiong Peak previously, he had tried his best to keep the arrangements that the outsiders had used. Then, Li Changshou arranged for a paper effigy to transform into his own appearance and send some spiritual tea to calm his mind. After her fingertips touched the Daoist priest in her dream, the vixen seemed to have become much shier.

When she was talking to Qi Yuan across the wooden table, her eyes were filled with affection and she praised him generously. Fortunately, when Li Changshou pretended to be his master, he had not only learned how to transform, but he had also become extremely good at it. He had also reported to his master in time what had happened previously. As long as Qi Yuan was not drunk, he would not make any mistakes. At the very least, the vixen, Xiao Lan, would not be able to tell. After Xiao Lan put on her long robe, she covered most of her charm.

When she sat there quietly and restrained her aura, no one could tell that she was a demoness. Outside the array formation, the guests went to the stream not far away and went through a simple session of playing music, tasting wine, tea, and striking up conversations with each other. Jiu Wu said, “Do you think Junior Brother Qi Yuan and this fellow Daoist from the Fox Clan will end up together? I'll go first… I don't have high hopes for this marriage.”

“I'm not too optimistic about it either,” Ling'e said. “Let's not talk about the vixen or the demons first. Based on my understanding of Master, he will definitely not agree to it even if he is really tempted.” “I think that's good.” Jiu Jiu looked confused. “Isn't it written in the Inaction Sutra? You can't force anything or go against it. Didn't the Qing Qiu Clan say that they have all received the praise of that Water God from the Heavenly Courts? They are considered upright.” Li Changshou thought, When can I help the demons?! Jiu Yushi broke her previous image of being silent and said softly, “Why does one's background have to be mentioned when it comes to love?”

Jiu Shi said, “However, in the end, our Immortal Du Sect was ambushed by the demons. The demons hate Ren School to the core. It would be inappropriate if this matter gets out.”

Everyone expressed their own opinions. Li Changshou listened quietly by the side. Seeing that they were about to argue, he smiled and changed the topic.

No one knew how to divert attention better than Li Changshou.

“In my opinion, Master might not be able to last for six hours. No matter what, this fellow Daoist is a guest of the Immortal Du Sect. Let's invite her out later and entertain her. We are considered the hosts.”

Everyone praised him. At that moment, Jiu Jiu, Xiong Lingli, and Jiang Lin'er excitedly went to study which spiritual beasts had fallen into depression today. Ling'e made two old paper effigies play the zither and flute together with her. Jiu Shi and Jiu Yushi made the wine cups more exquisite. As Li Changshou and Jiu Wu chatted and laughed, they set up a short table and prepared wine. The fragrance of the meat filled the forest, and half a cup of immortal wine filled his mouth.

Qi Yuan, the old Daoist priest from the forest, also seemed to have smelled the fragrance. When the vixen, Xiao Lan, saw the formation, she felt a little uneasy and hid behind Qi Yuan. The vixen was less eager and unrestrained than before. She had become more gentle and quiet. With Jiang Lin'er, the “Master of Qi Yuan” who had been out there for thousands of years, around, the atmosphere would naturally not be awkward.

Soon, Qi Yuan and Jiu Wu sat together. The vixen, Xiao Lan, was received by the dignified and generous Jiu Shi. Jiang Lin'er, who had the highest seniority there, exchanged a few pleasantries with her and laughed. The music in the forest gradually became more lively.

Wine and delicacies were served and the immortals beside him were all talking about the Dao.

It was unknown who had invited the vixen to dance. The latter's face was flushed red. She wanted to reject, but since six hours were about to pass, she nodded slightly and agreed…

Hence, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the charming vixen danced with music. Most of the figures by the stream in the forest were attracted by the dance. While Ling'e focused on controlling the paper effigy to play music, she looked up at her senior brother who was sitting beside her and smiled. Qi Yuan stroked his beard and pondered. There was a hint of helplessness and regret in his eyes. From time to time, he would glance at Jiu Yushi, who was not far away.

Jiu Yushi was leaning against the huge gourd that had been enlarged by Jiu Jiu. She was holding a wine bottle in her hand, and her face was flushed. She had overestimated herself and challenged Immortal Jiu, who was beside her. Before the latter could get to the main topic, she was already drunk. Jiu Jiu, on the other hand, was much more at ease. She leaned on the thin waist of the huge gourd and imagined herself as a salted fish that was drying. As she enjoyed the singing and dancing, she held two bottles of immortal wine with different flavors. She took a sip from the one in her left hand and a sip from the one in her right… Li Changshou was much more impressive. Taking advantage of the fact that he was free, he only left a wisp of his attention there. He returned to his main body early and routinely checked the paper effigy vaults that he had placed everywhere.

In the East Ocean, he looked at the Crystal Palace. At that moment, there were singing and dancing. Li Changshou did not need to use his immortal senses to investigate. He could imagine the boring scene of the old Dragon King leaning against the coral throne and being massaged by a few gentle sea maidens. He shifted his attention to the West Ocean and used the paper effigy to observe the construction of the West Ocean Dragon Palace.

After all, the Dragon Palace could only be restored after at least a hundred years.

Li Changshou was also quite embarrassed. Back then, in order to kill the rebels better, he did not hesitate to use a Golden Immortal Golden Pill as the core of the Earth Emanations Spirit Explosion Array…

The effect was obvious. The Dragon Palace was destroyed on the spot.

However, the hundred-odd loyal and honest dragons of the West Ocean Dragon Palace were not harmed at all. That was considered a merit.

The paper effigy hiding at the bottom of the sea turned its head and looked at the Aparagodānīya Continent. Through the seawater, Li Changshou seemed to see the golden cicada ball with its wings folded. He saw the depressed young Daoist who was riding on the back of the huge green dog. He saw the figure of the Saint that was tens of thousands of feet tall formed by the clouds, and… a cloud of mist that was like colorful clouds that filled the sky.

It was Saint Jie Yin.

If Saint Jie Yin did not appear, the Western Sect would not be able to find out anything. He was a ruthless person who had become a Saint.

If the conflict between the three sects in the Dao Sect could not be avoided, there would definitely be a battle between Chan School and Jie School. If Goddess Nuwa did not appear… ahem, under the premise that the Goddess Nuwa did not participate in the battle between the major sects, the Western Sect indeed had the ability to shake the foundation of the Dao Sect.

Saints preside over the great sects. Heaven and earth decide the general trend. At that moment, Li Changshou had climbed halfway up the mountain. He saw some scenery, but when he looked up, he could only see clouds. The mountains were high and the rivers were far. The Dao was obstructed and long. His mind turned away again.

He went to the South Ocean to observe the Sea Eye and listen to the hymns of the South Ocean Dragon Palace. He quickly scanned the land under the control of the Sea God Sect.

In the evening, most of the Sea God Temples had already begun to close. However, the surroundings of most of the Sea God Temples were bustling with activity. When the lanterns were first lit, it would be especially lively. Unlike many immortals, Li Changshou did not envy the lives of mortals. After all, he had experienced it before.

Most mortals were relatively weak. Their lives depended on the time and destiny. After dozens of years, they had suffered all kinds of hardships. Although their strength was weak and their lives seemed especially fulfilling, since he had walked out of it, he would not stop and look back. Li Changshou did not forget to check the North Ocean Sea Eye. Then, he shifted his attention to the coast of the North Continent.

His immortal senses saw that there was a group of Magi gathered in the forest not far from the coast. They were dancing and shouting around the fire, celebrating the birth of a few new Magi.

From the looks of it, many pure and innocent male Magi must have suffered a blow to their brains tonight…

It was a simple and pure rural culture.

However, in the ten thousand years that the Magi had missed, the population would definitely shrink.

Ten thousand years… The time scale that he did not dare to reach in his previous life suddenly felt like it was just a matter of morning and night in the Primordial World.

Li Changshou looked at the group of Magi from afar. When he heard that the music in his ears had changed, he retracted his attention and returned to the Little Qiong Peak. He then briefly checked the situation within tens of thousands of kilometers of the Immortal Du Sect. The routine check-up that would happen once every three days ended just like that.

It was still a calm and peaceful day. However, just as Li Changshou was about to admire the dance of the vixen, he suddenly heard a call from the Heavenly Courts' Water God Residence.

A Heavenly General reported to the Jade Emperor and invited him to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Li Changshou was a little confused. He carefully deduced what had happened. At that moment, the Heavenly Courts should be recruiting troops steadily. Nothing major should happen.

Is His Majesty going to target Daoist Lu Ya because he has nothing to do? Lu Ya had been injured by the Spirit Explosion the last time. At that moment, he did not know where he was hiding. With the remnant heritage of the demons, it would not be easy to find traces of the demon prince, who was wholeheartedly hiding. Unless the Jade Emperor personally deduced with the power of the Heavenly Dao. Li Changshou also wanted to get rid of that calamity as soon as possible. However, Lu Ya might have already been targeted by the Heavenly Dao. It would be extremely difficult for him to get rid of him. “It's useless to think too much. Let's go and see His Majesty first.”

At the same time, Li Changshou was also looking forward to it…

Previously, the second incarnation of the Jade Emperor, Zhao Dezhu, had already revealed his whereabouts during the battle of the Demon Ascension Mountain. It was obvious that he could no longer use it. From Hua Ritian to Zhao Dezhu, Li Changshou did not know what kind of name the Jade Emperor would come up with.

Even if it was Qin Tianzhu, there was nothing to be surprised about.

After choosing a paper effigy with abundant immortal power, Li Changshou rode a cloud out of the Water God Residence and flew towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Along the way, all the immortals that he met bowed with a Dao salute. The Heavenly Courts' soldiers cupped their fists and bowed. Li Changshou would smile and nod as a response. He was not close to anyone, nor did he reveal his identity. Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed in front of the Lingxiao Hall. He still had to do it. On the throne on the platform, the white-robed young man, who was originally looking depressed, saw Li Changshou and his eyes lit up. He put down the “tool” in his hand.

“Your Majesty, I'm late. Please forgive me.” “It's fine. Changgeng, you have many matters to attend to. I know.” The Jade Emperor went straight to the point. “It's like this. Recently, I've been observing the stars and elephants at night. I felt something and suddenly saw an opportunity to perfect my Great Dao. Changgeng, you are also from Ren School and you are a cultivator. Can you give me some advice?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I don't dare to compare my cultivation level to yours. Your Majesty's cultivation is so deep that you can injure the Golden Cicada with a single glance. The Little God had schemed and only managed to severely injure the Golden Cicada. I would like to ask Your Majesty to guide me on my cultivation.” “Hahaha.” The White-Robed Jade Emperor waved his hand and smiled. “There's no need to mention what happened previously. It's like this… Changgeng, you also know that although I am the Heavenly Emperor and am in charge of the Three Realms, I had entered the Heavenly Courts after coming out of the Purple Firmament Palace. My understanding of the world is not deep. Previously, I had walked in the mortal world with my incarnation countless times. However, I was just watching the flowers and enjoying the show. Recently, I feel that if I can use the Netherworld Reincarnation Disc to temporarily block my mental memories, I will go to the mortal world to train. I will gain enlightenment of the world and get close to living beings. It might be very beneficial.”

Eh?

Is His Majesty trying to descend to the mortal world to experience life? Is he going to bring Yang Jian's mother to the heavens? The Great God-Conferment Tribulation is indeed not far away! Li Changshou pondered for a while. At that moment, he could only pretend that he did not know about that matter. He could consider the problem from the perspective of an ordinary authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts and try to see if he could interfere with the Heavenly Dao's plot. Hence, Li Changshou looked up and said, “Your Majesty, you are the pillar of the Heavenly Courts and the supreme ruler of the Three Realms. How can you take the risk so easily? It would be fine if the Heavenly Courts are powerful. However, the Heavenly Courts have just gotten on the right track. If you were to reincarnate and block your memories, what would happen to you or the Heavenly Courts? Your Majesty, please reconsider.” “This…” The White-Robed Jade Emperor pondered for a while and raised his hand to tap gently. The Lingxiao Treasure Hall was immediately surrounded by golden light.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand. Li Changshou understood and took a few steps forward. The Jade Emperor on the platform turned around from behind the jade table and quickly walked down the platform. He pulled Li Changshou's arm and sat on the old staircase. “Changgeng, I'm also worried about this matter. That's why I asked you for an idea. Look, is there any way that I don't have to worry about being plotted against and can make me walk around?”

Li Changshou frowned and said, “Your Majesty, if I help you, I will be blamed by the Grand Supreme Elder in the future…”

“Why would you be blamed by the Grand Supreme Elder? Changgeng, no one will find out if neither of us talk about it. A mortal's lifespan is dozens of years. It will pass in a flash.”

“You want to continue playing like this? Uh, I misspoke.” “Ah, it's fine.” The Jade Emperor sighed slowly and said, “Changgeng, this matter is actually very important to me. Do you know that no matter how beautiful she is, she will gradually get tired when she faces the same person day and night? I was afraid that it would affect my relationship with my Junior Sister. That's why I wanted to go down and take a look at the women in the mortal world. When I return, I will definitely fall in love with her even more…”

Li Changshou was confused.

There is clearly something wrong with His Majesty's logic. Why does it feel like… He seemed to be trying to say, “Ah, I've been married for too long. I'm tired. I want to experience something new and introduce a unique novelty into my marriage. Lord Heavenly Dao, you have to believe me. The temporary love tribulation and ordinary looks of the women here are far inferior to my wife.”

Forget it. I should come up with a safe idea to ensure that His Majesty does not have any safety issues.

He cursed using Ren School's vulgarities.
