Chapter 201 One Thing Subdues Another
It wasn't Hongjun fighting Rahu; it was clearly Rahu in the shadows while Chang Hao was in the open. Although Chang Hao seemed to have neutralized all of Rahu's killing moves, he had no real confidence in defeating Rahu.
Who knows what tricks Rahu has up his sleeve? Until the very last moment, it's impossible to know who will emerge victorious.
"As for you, since the Dao Ancestor clearly stated that you should not interfere, you should stay in Lishan and ignore worldly affairs, and wait for me to return." Chang Hao did not think that a Heavenly Dao Saint was infallible.
Judging from the guilty, apprehensive, and fearless look in Nuwa's eyes when she came to see him last time, Hongjun might have done something to Nuwa, otherwise, Nuwa would never have been so uneasy.
"Stay with me in Lishan, or come back to Kunlun with me. Only then can I feel at ease." Yuanshi didn't want Changhao to go out, because he knew it wouldn't be anything good. "I'll handle the Styx matter for you."
"No, I'll handle my own affairs. After this, unless the Great Tribulation comes to an end, we won't go out no matter who invites us. We'll stay in Lishan and quietly watch the flowers bloom and fade, or go to the four seas to ride the waves and watch the tides rise and fall. What do you say?" Chang Hao didn't want to go to Kunlun to face Laozi's old face with 'eight' written on his left cheek and 'divination' written on his right cheek, as well as his all-knowing eyes.
If Yuanshi wants to stay with him, it has to be in Lishan. Unless Yuanshi can make him willingly return to Kunlun with him, it's out of the question.
Quietly watching the flowers bloom and fade, and the tides rise and fall, accompanying each other day and night, nothing could be better. Yuanshi's eyes were filled with boundless longing for the future. He then compromised and said, "Alright, then give me back the Haotian Mirror. Without the Haotian Mirror, I really can't keep track of your whereabouts."
Without the Haotian Mirror, Yuanshi lost track of Changhao's whereabouts and was constantly filled with anxiety. To this day, Yuanshi has not found any sign that Changhao will return it to him, and he secretly regrets giving the Haotian Mirror away too easily.
If he had known that Chang Hao would be traveling all over the country like this, he wouldn't have agreed to anything, let alone a romantic relationship, or even moving in the same bed with someone.
Chang Hao's expression changed slightly. It was impossible for him to return the Haotian Mirror. "I'm just going to the Blood Sea to deal with the problems there temporarily. It wouldn't do me any good if the Blood Sea collapsed."
Chang Hao's acquisition of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus triggered a series of problems, and it was only right that he resolve them.
"Just going to the Sea of Blood?" Yuanshi confirmed. "Not to see that person?"
“Of course,” Chang Hao replied readily, “besides seeing the River Styx, who else can one see in the Blood Sea?”
Who is that? Taiyi has even lost his name in Yuanshi's mouth.
"That's good. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus can't be taken out from Mount Buzhou?" Yuanshi knew that Chang Hao had allowed the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to take shape. So much time had passed, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus must have taken shape. But he was worried that going against the heavens would not be able to pass the tribulation of transformation, so he had been hiding on the top of Mount Buzhou and dared not come out.
"Why do you ask when you already know the answer?" Chang Hao rolled his eyes at Yuan Shi. "I've already taken the Karmic Fire Red Lotus. It's only right that I go and resolve the problems in the Blood Sea."
“That’s right, it should be done from beginning to end.” Yuanshi took the Jade Fan to shield the view of those around him, then suddenly leaned down and secretly kissed Chang Hao.
"Hey you..." Even on his deathbed, Chang Hao was startled awake, "Tongtian..."
"Don't move... If you move again, Tongtian will really see it." Yuanshi's sudden realization had its own advantages, both in terms of Tongtian's presence and in his ignorance.
"I was truly blinded by lust, and I actually gave you the Haotian Mirror so easily. I've lost out big time." Yuanshi suddenly pinched Chang Hao's chin and leaned in to peck him twice more. The sneaky peck was quite amusing, and his obsession with getting a title had lessened a bit.
Regardless of whether they have a formal title or not, he can never let go. Even if countless calamities come, death cannot stop his affection.
Chang Hao was about to slap him when Yuan Shi anticipated his reaction, grabbed Chang Hao's hand, and leaned in to give him a light peck.
Chang Hao's hand trembled, and he quickly withdrew it and placed it behind his back, staring warily at Yuan Shi. This man has such a thick skin.
Yuanshi knew when to stop; if he went any further, Chang Hao would get angry again.
Chang Hao glanced nervously at Tongtian, but Tongtian showed no sign of anything amiss. Chang Hao and Yuanshi were less attractive to Tongtian than the few fur balls on the stone table.
"Chang Hao, did you call me?" Tongtian looked up at Chang Hao and saw Yuanshi slowly closing his fan, then turning his wrist to hold the fan in his other hand.
Chang Hao's thin lips trembled, utterly ashamed. He glared fiercely at Yuan Shi, "Look what you've done!"
“Chang Hao asked you to lend him the Six Soul Banner so he can go and solve the problem of the Blood Sea,” Yuanshi said with a smile. “The Six Soul Banner can absorb the resentment and malevolence of the Blood Sea, which is more reliable than your fire. After all, your fire is not the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and it will still cause some damage to the Blood Sea.”
If Yuanshi dared to do this, he must have thought things through carefully beforehand, lest he make a fool of himself like he did with the Demon Court.
Chang Hao ground his back teeth. Yuan Shi had planned this all along, and the excuses he came up with were all quite plausible and seemed very convincing.
“No problem.” Tongtian didn’t notice anything amiss and readily took out the Six Soul Banner.
Chang Hao awkwardly held the Six Soul Banner. Should he thank Yuanshi for his thoughtfulness? But had Yuanshi forgotten that he had the World-Destroying Black Lotus, which was more useful than the Six Soul Banner?
"Just take pity on Tongtian and help him upgrade the Six Soul Banner," Yuanshi said. It was just a quick-thinking excuse, and Tiantian wouldn't suspect anything. Chang Hao would save face, and that would be enough.
Yuan Shi was now worried that his position in Chang Hao's heart was not as high as Tai Yi's. "How about I go with you?"
The Immortal-Slaying Gourd bluntly told Yuanshi that Chang Hao and Taiyi were having an affair and their relationship was unusual. Going to the Blood Sea was just a side trip. What if Chang Hao went to see Taiyi again?
"No need. You have to give me some space. I'll get tired of looking at you all the time." Chang Hao didn't want to see Yuan Shi's smug face for the time being; it made him itchy to punch someone.
Chang Hao's casual remark caused Yuan Shi's expression to change drastically as if facing a formidable enemy. Was Chang Hao already tired of him? This was unacceptable.
"Go ahead, I won't go with you." Yuan Shi exuded a chill, appearing even more aloof and arrogant, but Chang Hao knew that Yuan Shi was unhappy.
"It was a slip of the tongue. How about this, if you're really worried, you can check with the Water Mirror. I guarantee you'll see me in the Blood Sea." Chang Hao's plan for this trip to the Blood Sea was to fool Styx and give him an empty promise. How could he possibly succeed with Yuanshi in tow?
Tongtian couldn't understand it at all. "You two are fine one minute, and then you throw a tantrum the next. Why bother?"
"Second Brother, you don't need to worry. I'll accompany Chang Hao. If it's not about using the Six Soul Banner, I'll handle it myself." Tongtian, unaware of anything, threw punches haphazardly.
Tongtian glanced at his second brother and suppressed his gloating expression. Serves him right, there really is one thing that can subdue another. His second brother has always been the one to make him unhappy.
