Chapter 245 A Heaven-Reaching Crooked Idea
Chang Hao nodded and casually instructed, "Find a good quality peach branch that matches this peach blossom branch, and then put it in my bedroom."
Tongtian was dumbfounded. The "good quality" Chang Hao mentioned were innate spiritual treasures of considerable grade. "I'm so poor, I haven't even collected enough innate spiritual treasures for each of my disciples. How dare you ask me for them?" He was already being generous by not shamelessly reaching out to Chang Hao for them.
“With so many disciples, you’ll never be able to collect all their innate spiritual treasures in this lifetime. Let them work hard on their own. But you have to find a way to help me find what I want…” Chang Hao said matter-of-factly. He wasn’t going to live a life of hardship.
Tongtian gasped. Raise... raise Chang Hao? It seemed he couldn't afford it...
"I don't have a jade bottle." After mentally reviewing all the magical treasures he possessed, Tongtian had to admit that his treasures were all offensive in nature, and he didn't have a jade bottle at all. However, his second brother seemed to have a rather decent-looking one…
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go find them! The prehistoric world is so vast, there are plenty of innate spiritual treasures. It just depends on whether you put your heart into it." Chang Hao lightly waved his small fan. Tongtian only had a three-minute burst of enthusiasm, and it seemed that he would soon give up.
In a moment of madness, Tongtian actually turned around and went to look for him.
"Wait, wait, wait, my shoe is about to fall off, help me put it back on first." Chang Hao was bossy. He was in a bad mood and couldn't bend over. He didn't want Yuanshi to take advantage of him, but Tongtian delivered himself to him, so Chang Hao didn't stand on ceremony.
"You're just taking advantage of the fact that I need your help to cause me trouble, aren't you?" Thinking of his shady plans in Heaven, Tongtian cursed and bent down. "It's only because I have a good temper. If it were my second brother, he would probably have slapped you against the wall so hard you wouldn't be able to get him off."
Tongtian quickly realized something was wrong. "Chang Hao, why have you been tormenting me all day?" First, he made him peel the shell, then he made him break peach branches, then he made him search for innate spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world, and finally he made him put on his shoes. Doesn't he, a saint, have any dignity?
"I was just messing with you," Chang Hao said in surprise. "You're only realizing it now?"
"Have you ever tormented Second Brother?" Tongtian blinked, feeling very unwilling. He couldn't be the only one to receive this treatment.
Chang Hao paused slightly with his small fan. All the trouble he had caused was ultimately futile, as Yuanshi had managed to get everything back from him in various ways, making it a losing proposition.
"Of course..." How could Chang Hao admit that he couldn't beat Yuan Shi in this aspect? He cared about his reputation, but Yuan Shi didn't care about his reputation. Of course, someone who cares about his reputation can't beat someone who doesn't care about his reputation.
"I don't believe it..." Tongtian immediately retorted. His second brother, with his arrogant and conceited nature, would actually bend down to help Chang Hao put on his shoes? He didn't believe it, he would never believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Chang Hao shrugged. Tongtian didn't believe him, but there was nothing he could do. "Go away, are you still playing?" He wasted all his leisure time on Tongtian, this incomparably foolish saint.
"You're too much of a troublemaker. Let me take a break." Tongtian wasn't one to back down so easily. He narrowed his eyes, feeling that Chang Hao was trying to trick him.
He looked at his second brother's radiant face after each meeting with Chang Hao, and compared it to his own current state, something must be wrong. The image of his second brother and Chang Hao getting married flashed through his mind, making him feel even more uneasy.
"What are you thinking?" Chang Hao said helplessly. He really wanted to persuade Tongtian to go back and get a good night's sleep to clear his head of all this nonsense. "Alright, why don't you go back first? Or do you want me to help you prepare a palace?" Chang Hao didn't believe that Tongtian would stay any longer.
"Where are the little golden crows?" Torn between keeping them or not, Tongtian chose the third path and led the little golden crows away.
Tongtian's visit today wasn't just to announce to Chang Hao that he wanted the same treatment as his second brother. He was also working hard to find good talents for the Jie Sect. This time, he secretly came to the Heavenly Court with his sights set on the little golden crows.
He let his second brother do something underhanded behind his back, and he retaliated in kind, which was just a matter of giving and receiving.
The thought of having nine powerful figures like Chang Hao in the future Jie Sect filled Tongtian with excitement. If the nine little golden crows grew up smoothly, they would become nine quasi-saints, no doubt about it.
"Yaochi just broke through to Quasi-Saint, and I was worried it would affect them, so I put it back into the Hongmeng Pearl. What, is something wrong?" Chang Hao thought to himself, knowing that Tongtian was still not giving up after learning about his ambiguous relationship with Yuanshi.
“You know my little hobby. I haven’t seen the little Golden Crows for a long time. Can you let me take care of them for a few days?” Tongtian felt an itch to take them, thinking of the little Golden Crows’ golden downy fur that had no disguise. “I’ll take them to the Primordial World, Kunlun, and the East Sea. We can travel around and have fun. Maybe we can even encounter their destined opportunities.”
Chang Hao was tempted. Although Tongtian seemed unreliable, he was absolutely protective of the cubs.
At this time, the prehistoric world is in dire need of reconstruction, making it a perfect time for travel. With a sage providing close protection, it will be even more inconvenient for my brother and his companions to appear in the prehistoric world once the human race grows in number.
By the time the older brothers finally control the true fire of the sun and truly take human form, it will probably be during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods. Chang Hao took human form during that period.
What moved Chang Hao even more was Tongtian's words about predestined opportunities: the same magic weapon will have different power in different people's hands. Although Chang Hao could prepare it for his brothers, only heaven knew whether it was the most suitable.
"Chang Hao, please?" Tongtian gritted his teeth. He wouldn't leave until he achieved his goal. He would wear Chang Hao down until he softened.
Just as Chang Hao was about to give in, someone hurriedly walked over from outside Yaochi.
"Your Majesty..." Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to bow, "Greetings, Your Majesty." He had finally found His Majesty.
"What is it?" Chang Hao asked succinctly.
Bai Ze stepped forward to report, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that a sage was actually in the pavilion. He gasped, "Greetings, Sage."
"Hmm," Tongtian said indifferently, annoyed that this person dared to ruin his plans.
Because of his displeasure, Tongtian was very cold and composed, and he even resembled Yuanshi by a large margin, both in appearance and temperament.
Bai Ze dared not breathe too loudly. Could it be that His Majesty and Lingbao Tianzun had some unresolved issues? He hoped they wouldn't start fighting.
"Speak..." Chang Hao gestured to Bai Ze to report quickly if he had something to say.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi has come to visit." Bai Ze knew his superior's decisive style well, so he skipped the formalities and got straight to the point.
"Please invite Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi to this place. We are old friends reunited, so we should have a drink or two." Chang Hao didn't want to move. Besides, Zhen Yuanzi had come to see him for nothing other than to talk about Hongyun.
Bai Ze understood and quickly withdrew to invite Zhen Yuanzi to meet at Yaochi. Before long, a line of fairy maidens gracefully arrived, carrying fine wine, jade liquor, and spiritual fruits.
"Chang Hao, your banquet for Zhen Yuanzi has nothing to do with me. As for the Little Golden Crow?" Tongtian's wicked intentions remained undiminished.
“Zhen Yuanzi has come, probably to discuss the matter of Hongyun. Now that Fuxi has been reincarnated, the Heavenly Emperor will soon return to the throne. Don’t you want a Earthly Emperor to emerge from your sect? Are you sure you want to leave now?” Chang Hao looked at Tongtian with a half-smile. The importance of an Earthly Emperor to a great sect is self-evident, especially an Earthly Emperor who suppresses the fortune of the human race.
