Feels good to be appreciated, huh?”
“It’s okay,” Li Ping’an walked back to the window and sat down, picking up his fruit tea for a sip.
“Once the issue with the exploding immortal armor here is settled, I will go and take charge of the Misty Realm.
It’s time to speed up the expansion.”
Not staying in the main realm for a while longer?”
Li Dazhi rubbed his nose, a hint of reluctance in his eyes, and said slowly:
“Forget it, go ahead.
The foundation of the Heavenly Court is more important.
A man should always put his career first.
Are you taking my daughter-in-law with you?”
“Of course, I’m bringing her along; she’s my wife,” Li Ping’an smiled.
“The Misty Realm is already fairly stable.”
Li Dazhi said thoughtfully, “I wonder if it would make any difference to go pay respects to Taoist Compassionate Ferry of the Chan Teaching right now.”
“By the way, Dad,” Li Ping’an calmly changed the subject, “when are you planning to marry Aunt Yue and Aunt Rou?”
Li Dazhi smiled, “Wait until you establish the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Emperor bestows the marriage!”
Li Ping’an’s face suddenly turned bizarre, not quite sure what to say, but finally, he replied: “Then wait a bit longer before you give me a sister.
I’m afraid my future sister will run into a scholar named Yang.”
Li Dazhi was stunned for a moment, then he realized.
It was about the mythological story of Yao Ji.
Yao Ji was a sister of the Heavenly Emperor who consorted with a mortal, giving birth to Yang Jian.
Then Yao Ji was suppressed under Peach Mountain for violating the heavenly laws, and Yang Jian later split Peach Mountain to save his mother.
Here the tale diverges.
According to the folklore from their hometown, when Yang Jian split Peach Mountain, he found his mother had been pressed into a sheet of human skin; afterwards, by the Heavenly Emperor’s decree, she was exposed to harsh sunlight and ultimately slain.
There’s also a story that says Yao Ji didn’t die, and her family was reunited in the end.
Thinking about this, Li Dazhi’s face darkened.
This was like the “blonde-haired youngster riding a ghostly fire, yelling for his daughter downstairs” situation, wasn’t it?
“Really need to be careful,” he hissed as he stood up and rushed off, adding at the last minute:
“You’re busy; I’m going to ask Rou’er if she has refined…
This really is a major problem.”
Li Ping’an held his forehead, though he found it quite amusing.
Guilingling slowly poked her head over the windowsill, quietly muttering, “Refined what?”
Li Ping’an turned to look at his Uncle Master.
Wasn’t she over a million years old?
How could she not know about such things?
Looking at her innocent and cute face, and those clear eyes that seemed to reflect all the beauty in the world, he couldn’t help but reach out and rub her head.
Guilingling gently batted away Li Ping’an’s hand, annoyed, “No respect, I’m your Uncle Master.”
Li Ping’an tentatively asked, “Uncle Master, did you have some kind of childhood trauma before you transformed?”
“Why do you say that?”
“Why do I feel like Uncle Master’s personality doesn’t quite match her experiences,” Li Ping’an clicked his tongue, “Logically speaking, an ancient great master like Uncle Master who has seen all of life’s vicissitudes, knows the dangers of the world, and is knowledgeable, should have a sense of the passage of time, like Immortal Huanglong.”
The Immortal Huanglong, who was meditating in the pavilion, immediately puffed up his chest with pride.
By the way, he seemed to be regaining his middle-aged appearance.
Guilingling couldn’t stop grinning and said with her hands on her hips: “Of course!
Your Uncle Master actually foresaw all the evils in the world and then returned to her true nature!
This is called returning to purity and innocence!
It’s a realm of great depth when one’s spiritual cultivation reaches a very high level!”
Several figures in the courtyard each chuckled to themselves.
Li Ping’an asked with a smile, “Alright, the truly innocent Uncle Master Guiling, where’s my master?”
“He’s gone to eat with Zi Yao!”
Guilingling pouted her lips and huffed,
“Ever since Zi Yao and I watched your realization process, when it seemed you resonated with many creatures, we all saw it, and since then, Zi Yao’s been fighting with me over Qing Qing!”
Li Ping’an’s face darkened, “What did you see?”
Guilingling replied, “We saw you standing next to your master, waiting for him to speak.
He even mentioned something about Yang Guo and the Dragon Lady.
Did she raise a dragon?”
Li Ping’an held his forehead.
“What’s wrong?” Guilingling innocently asked.
“Nothing,” Li Ping’an blinked and handed her a Jade Talisman, “Uncle Master, do me a favor, don’t tell anyone, and sneakily find out what the two of them talked about.”
Guilingling pouted, “Eavesdrop?
I couldn’t do such a thing!”
“The reward will be a giant soft bed with its quality enhanced by the virtue of the Heavenly Court.
I will craft it myself; it’s sure to provide a carefree sleep for any creature!”
Guilingling rattled the Jade Talisman and gave Li Ping’an a triumphant smile before diving into the pond and disappearing.
The formation of this place was fully open to her, presenting no obstacle at all.
Li Ping’an sat back down, gazing slightly lost in thought at the orchid in the vase beside him.
A Jade Talisman fell outside the courtyard.
He Xinghe picked it up and rushed to the study, reporting:
“Your Majesty, the Eastern Alliance has sent a message.
A horde of demons has besieged the three cities of Dingxi in the Western Continent, seemingly a test; the officials in charge of the Eastern Alliance will only be able to meet in Dong’an City later.
They would like to ask you to wait a few days.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Li Ping’an naturally understood.
The Eastern Alliance handled the Human Emperor’s logistics and troop deployments; with warfare intensifying in the Western Continent and Old Man Tianli busy, it was reasonable.
Soon, a battle report arrived from the Western Continent; the Demon Race launched a probing attack on the three cities of Dingxi to test their defenses.
This brought one bad and one good news.
The good news was, the Demon Race quickly retreated.
The three major cities, combined with the immortal soldiers and formations, gave the Human Race a comprehensive advantage in casualties.
the Asura tribe had begun to cooperate with the Demon Army.
