This afternoon was a rare moment of leisure for Haotian. No one, including Xiao Hei and Chu Xinqiao, bothered her, and she lay alone on the bed.
A beautiful young woman with white hair lay on the bed, her eyes glazed over, seemingly doing nothing. Her body was relaxed, and she quietly enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.
The setting sun streamed through the window, warming her face and skin. She slightly opened her eyes, appreciating the beauty of the sunset.
Looking at the slightly yellowish sky, Haotian suddenly felt a mix of emotions.
Like the last time, she waited and watched over someone for hundreds of years in the border region. Diefang, Wenxin, and Xiaofangying still had a long, long road ahead of them.
Although they made rapid progress and gained fame in just half a month, living up to their reputation as prodigies, it was still not enough.
Another plane is a good plane for proving the Dao. Naturally, she will not force them to follow their own path. She will simply give them the power of choice, just as she did before.
The setting sun shone on every blade of grass and tree on the small hill. Haotian had unknowingly lived here for quite some time. If he didn't have any cultivation, it would be a very troublesome thing. Now he was more like a forest bird or canary kept by them. They would come over and tease him in their spare time, and he could only accept it.
She had to admit once again that Xiao Hei had really got her figured out this time. Sure enough, he was a senior in every sense of the word. As for her and Fu Sheng Ruo's matter... perhaps I'll have a way to deal with it in the future.
Legend has it that when great changes occur in the world, the Heavenly Dao can use incredible powers to alter all races and even the rules of life.
Fusheng Ruocheng herself was once an ancient dragon. Human life is incredibly short, which is both similar to and different from the cultivation world in her previous novels.
Human lifespan is short. Even for those at the pinnacle of immortality, lifespan is only a few thousand years. But for someone like Xiao Hei, born with a dragon body, lifespan is endless. His cultivation is not for immortality, but for survival, for living freely and as he pleases. People only know that birth, aging, sickness, and death are predetermined, and no one fantasizes about or desires immortality.
Moreover, the path of cultivation is not solely determined by talent.
Before reaching the Divine Transformation stage, one is not noticed by the Heavenly Dao and is left to cultivate at will.
Those who are blessed with extraordinary talent will progress rapidly after reaching the Divine Transformation stage. Unless they enter the Immortal Path, everything is under the control of the Heavenly Dao. However, the Heavenly Dao has never taken seriously any of their acts of defying the Heavenly Dao. Only Haotian... the Heavenly Dao has ever truly fought against her.
In the struggle against the Way of Heaven, the first step is naturally to break free from its chessboard and, under the innate conditions, become the player. The Way of Heaven cannot control one's fate or influence one's opportunities and encounters. Without fate, one is a person without destiny.
A game of strategy naturally requires pieces. Xiao Hei, unwilling to let her life be controlled by the Heavenly Dao, decided to resolve everything the moment she first met Haotian.
As Haotian watched the backs of Diefang and the other two smiling and waving at him, he seemed to see his younger self in a daze.
Carefree and happy.
For some reason, a feeling of sorrow welled up inside me. I hoped that their friendship and affection would be strong enough to support and help each other in the future.
The time left for them is unknown.
When that time came, neither Chu Xinqiao, Han Qin, Yao Wang, nor even Xiao Hei could change the outcome.
Of course, the only person in the know was Xiao Hei, who had been with her since childhood. Chu Xinqiao and the others knew nothing about it, and even if they did, it wouldn't make any difference.
Diefang quickly started cooking, Wenxin used her magic to clean up the dishes, and Xinyu and Xiaofangying helped Diefang prepare the food.
Before long, Wenxin smelled the fragrance and looked at Diefang and the others with a happy expression.
By taking them through these experiences, perhaps we won't need to deliberately create these scenarios anymore; let them be free-range.
After reaching the Divine Transformation stage, everything depends on oneself; excessive involvement with others will only harm them.
At this moment, the beautiful sunset gradually disappeared and was replaced by night, and then the fireworks lights in the courtyard illuminated her stunning face.
"Master, we got into the top three today! Could you give us another reward?"
Wenxin went directly behind Haotian and took the initiative to massage her shoulders. As she massaged, she sighed inwardly, "Master's body is so soft. I really want to hold her in my arms and knead her."
Wenxin's plan was directly shown to Haotian.
However, Haotian really couldn't give them any more rewards, for fear that if he made another promise, they would all dare to make outrageous demands.
Therefore, Haotian pretended to be conflicted and replied, "The reward from Lingyuan Palace is enough. I have already acknowledged your excellence."
"Ah~ But, Master, we tried our best to be in the top three!"
"You call spending half a day cultivating and then coming back for lunch 'extremely hard work'?"
Haotian immediately turned his head and looked at Wenxin with a strange expression.
Diefang's eyes were full of helplessness, and Wenxin was immediately embarrassed. Fortunately, Diefang had prepared the meal in time.
From then on, Wenxin never spoke again about the reward.
Waaaaah, because Master actually knows what happened during the fight.
Dinner ended quickly. After Haotian finished eating, he looked at the night sky.
"I'll reluctantly give you a reward this time. Relax and have some fun tonight."
The group cheered.
Diefang: Relax, of course I should relax with my master. Master's slender waist that I dream about, hehe.
Wenxin: Master said to relax, then it must be true relaxation. Yes, I am most relaxed when I am holding Master's jade feet. So, does Master mean... hehe.
Haotian, completely unaware of their thoughts, only saw smiles on their faces and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Had he ever forced them to cultivate? Why were they all so happy to be relaxed?
Haotian then coughed lightly again: "You are all geniuses who are the focus of everyone's attention. If you don't relax a bit, how are ordinary people supposed to live? Cultivation requires a balance between work and rest."
In her past life, what she hated most was the "involution" that teachers and bosses talked about.
She also said that it's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. But she believes that as long as you've tried your best and can live up to your present self in the future, then you'll have a clear conscience.
Hmm, I'll ask her for some resources next time Xiao Hei comes. A few hundred million spirit stones—my disciple certainly wouldn't be anxious about spirit stones. She absolutely cannot be like her in her previous life, anxious about money.
After Haotian finished speaking, he returned to his room. He ate his fill and then slept, completely at ease.
A moment later, there was a knock on my door...
