Tonight is a night for drinking; the daytime is for revelry and drinking to one's heart's content. The moon is as round as ever before the festival. The young people who were drunk as mud were taken home early, while the elders and their chosen ones also drank until midnight before leisurely leaving.
The servants in the remaining room lit lamps and incense burners early on, then hid themselves away. The two remaining people, who could be described as benefactors and guests, destined benefactors and confidants, but who had not had much of a chat, slept side by side.
"Look, of these volumes, my favorite part is the protagonist's journey to the mortal realm, experiencing life and death, and the changes in human affairs. It's written very vividly and realistically. Those great scholars always talk about the myriad flavors of life, but in this vast world, the so-called myriad flavors are nothing more than the mundane necessities of life."
The oil extracted from the domesticated half-demon is exceptionally durable and the special rush wick is exceptionally bright, more blended than an incandescent bulb, and the light is more prominent.
The two discussed the development of the work and the readability of the plot from the perspectives of the author and the reader. Dao Chengyi, who had swallowed the memories of several people and was also blessed by the Wisdom Gu, was becoming increasingly quick-witted in his studies and creative writing, and his writing style was also full and exquisite.
"No one knows how wonderful it is to cultivate immortality. All I see is a pure and innocent person. As you know, Third Young Master, I come from such a background, so my feelings are naturally sincere."
"If I hadn't met you, young master, this kind of life would have been what I wanted."
This kind of life—a wife and children, a warm bed, earning money outside, a secure and stable life—is naturally very desirable.
Unfortunately, that's not possible now. If there's a way and the ability to climb the ladder, then he should climb it. And if those gods really knew that a thief like him was here, they would be terrified and would have to show mercy.
"So, do you want this kind of life now?"
In the still of the night, looking at the open books and the vividly painted pictures of beautiful women, the voice of the Third Young Master, Mu Qingyuan, suddenly became deep and resonant.
A faint, almost imperceptible spiritual fluctuation emanated from him. Dao Chengyi's already formed soul spontaneously sensed it, but he pretended to be unmoved and spoke his [inner thoughts].
"I still think about it now, but it's just about living in a bigger house, sleeping with more beautiful women, and becoming a stronger person."
If a game of chess were played right now, one might be in charge of all world affairs, but here there are only two people reading pornographic novels, so it's not very classy.
"You're always more insatiable than you are now, aren't you? You saw it too, sister, do you want it?"
"Of course I want it. Will the Third Young Master give me that opportunity?"
Hearing Dao Chengyi's answer, Mu Qingyuan, who was flipping through the book, also looked up.
"You're quite honest. I thought you'd make excuses for a while. If you want to try, then go ahead. But I only have one request: treat her well. Otherwise, I'm afraid this wonderful book might never be finished."
The last few sentences were filled with a bone-chilling killing intent and a strong threat. This kind of threat was something that even if Dao Chengyi went all out, he would probably be killed by this third young master.
The Marquis of Wu must refine the Mud Palace, condense the spirit of his hundred joints, and completely strive for immortality, so that he may become a majestic ruler who controls spirits, dominates flesh and blood, and overthrows the alienation.
"If I marry the second young lady, I will definitely only recognize her as my wife for the rest of my life and never betray her."
Lian Gu has fought alongside me throughout the world, which can be considered as not betraying me. Of course, as long as she poses no threat to Dao Chengyi, she can naturally end her life in peace.
"There's no need for that. It's normal to have three wives and four concubines. Just don't mistreat her. Sigh, now that I've told you all this, you should understand what I'm planning to do next."
"Young Master, are you really willing to give up everything in Qingmang City to seek martial arts on Qiongdao Peak?"
The Southern Frontier is quite vast, with the Southern Mountain Road occupying most of it. The rest of the land belongs to foreign tribes or is newly occupied and expanded. If one goes there, it's hard to know when one will be able to return to Qingmang City.
"If I don't go there, all that's left for me is death or joining the Mighty Bull Demon Sect, which is only at the Martial Marquis level. But the world is constantly changing, and being just a Martial Marquis is really not something I'm willing to accept."
"Do you still remember when we first met, we talked about Xuanpin Daozi's arrival in the capital?"
It is clear that the government will spread martial arts throughout the world, establish the Zhenwu Division to recruit talents from all over the world for the use of the court, call on all martial arts sects to come to the capital to compile martial arts classics in order to revitalize the martial arts, and then participate in various reforms.
When Daocheng looked at him, he realized that he was just like Zhang Juzheng and Wang Anshi. It was because of him that the once prosperous world was now in turmoil.
"What happened to that person again?"
"Of course something happened. That person expanded the cultivation method for martial artists, turning the original flesh seed into a spiritual root seed, expanding it from a demonic creature to one that only requires a few unusual things to step into the martial path."
"If he were to succeed in the following endeavors, the whole world would surely be in an uproar."
From being unattainable to being ubiquitous, just thinking about Dao Chengyi makes one realize how terrifying this cultivation method is and the resistance it will encounter.
"However, those are still far from the Southern Frontier, and there are also people in the capital region trying to stop it. But because of his identity and actions, I'm afraid the Southern Frontier will once again become the vanguard of the royal chariot, and war will definitely break out then."
Internal contradictions transform into external contradictions, and war is used to drive the process... Dao Chengyi pondered the inevitability of this.
"So, from the beginning, the Third Young Master wanted me to stay and take care of the Mu family, right?"
Now that things had come to this point, Dao Chengyi understood what Mu Qingyuan was really after all, which explained why Mu Hong wasn't surprised that he didn't want to leave.
"Yes, I must leave, but the Mu family must be protected. The accumulation of the Mu family over the past hundred years since the main branch of the Tianhan family came here cannot be destroyed in such an era."
