Chapter 485 Hongjun's If Line 3
Hongjun held the jade-shaped pill in his hand, carefully sensing the energy contained within it. He glanced at Chang Hao again, then temporarily suppressed his raised eyebrows.
When Chang Hao took human form, it was also the time when dragons, phoenixes, and qilin ravaged the prehistoric world. Chang Hao was already behind the Three Pure Ones in starting point, so he had to take some shortcuts.
He extracted Yang Mei's purest energy, refined it, and then had Chang Hao consume it, saving Chang Hao the trouble of refining it himself.
Chang Hao was dumbfounded. His strength was slightly inferior to that of Hollow Willow, and he thought he would have to contend with Hollow Willow for a long time.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, Hongjun dealt with Luo Hou and emerged from the Demon Realm, killing the Hollow Willow with a single move.
Chang Hao's eyes flickered, he was under immense pressure. Would Hongjun really not get angry and turn him to ashes in the future?
“Come back to your senses,” Hongjun flicked Chang Hao’s forehead. “Are you stupid? I don’t want to raise a little idiot.”
Chang Hao covered his forehead. "Be gentle. You have no idea how strong you are."
“You’re so delicate,” Hongjun scolded, but with a hint of indulgence. “You’re the most delicate creature I’ve ever seen.”
Without him, what would Chang Hao do? Who else would indulge Chang Hao like him?
Fortunately, fortunately he no longer has to be confined to Zixiao Palace; there couldn't be better news.
Hongjun thought this to himself, but his gaze honestly swept over Chang Hao's forehead. Chang Hao's strength was indeed a bit too much, but he also had no experience in what kind of force was appropriate.
"Me, delicate?" Chang Hao couldn't agree with that. He was just a bit particular about his lifestyle. "How many people have you met? You would never see a truly delicate person."
Hongjun was able to crush a hollow willow tree with a single palm strike. What kind of power is that? If it were a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, believe it or not, Hongjun could flick his head off with a single flick.
Hongjun's lips curled slightly, while Chang Hao's mouth twitched in anger. He seemed genuinely angry, not even allowing him to speak, yet he still claimed he wasn't being spoiled.
"Alright, let's go. I'll take you somewhere." Hongjun reached out and led Chang Hao directly to his prehistoric home, Jade Capital Mountain, which he had once intended to give to Chang Hao but hadn't yet.
The spiritual energy on Yujing Mountain condenses into clouds and mist, creating a mystical atmosphere, with scenic views at every turn.
However, Chang Hao felt that he had forgotten something and could not fully appreciate the beauty of Yujing Mountain. He suddenly realized when he saw a fellow Daoist rushing to Zixiao Palace. "Hongjun, this is your second sermon."
Can Hongjun say that he did it on purpose?
Zixiao Palace gathers the most outstanding innate beings in the entire prehistoric world. Without a doubt, Hongjun knew that the one who abducted Chang Hao must be among them, and the utterly incompetent Chang Hao would not be of any interest to him.
"No rush," Hongjun said leisurely. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao requiring him to speak, Hongjun would have ignored those people and let them die.
Okay, Chang Hao gave up trying to persuade him. After all, he wasn't the one preaching, and he shouldn't be the one in a hurry.
“Look at Yujing Mountain, isn’t it much better than your Li Mountain? Don’t you really want to consider moving your settlement to Yujing Mountain?” Hongjun was also adjusting his state of mind. He was not sure if he would 'inadvertently' add something he shouldn’t have when he started talking, causing the suspect to seek his own death.
“Yujing Mountain is good, but it belongs to you. Lishan Mountain is something I acquired through my own abilities. They are different.” Chang Hao flatly rejected Hongjun’s offer, leaving no room for negotiation.
“Everything I have is yours,” Hongjun said, his face darkening slightly. “Why do you have to be so clear about what’s in it with me?” Is this mountain really so unworthy of Chang Hao’s attention?
No, not this mountain. Hongjun quietly observed Chang Hao and finally noticed that Chang Hao's warm smile had lost some of its warmth and appeared stiff.
Hongjun suppressed a laugh, realizing that the little liar was hiding something and dared not take his things. "Could it be that your magical treasure isn't mine?"
Does Chang Hao dare to say no? Absolutely not.
"Of course not..." Chang Hao, who was afraid of dying, did not notice Hongjun's malicious act of deliberately teasing him. "Take whatever you want."
To make up for his guilt, Chang Hao piled up all the presentable spiritual treasures in front of Hongjun, letting Hongjun choose whatever he wanted.
“You’ve put in a good effort,” Hongjun said meaningfully, glancing at the flags and casually picking up the Black Lotus of Annihilation. “I can’t just take yours for nothing; I’ll exchange it for you.”
Hongjun handed the Golden Lotus of Merit to Chang Hao. Luo Hou's Black Lotus of Annihilation was incompatible with Chang Hao's attributes, so it was better to stay away.
Chang Hao gazed at the Golden Lotus of Merit. He had taken the Golden Lotus of Merit, so what would Hongjun give to the two Western Daoists?
"No need..." Chang Hao's mind flashed to the image of the two Western Daoists wielding the Black Lotus of Annihilation... He felt that their future was bleak.
As soon as Chang Hao refused, Hongjun narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and patted the top of Chang Hao's head, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"..." Chang Hao's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers twitched. Here we go again. What did Hongjun mean by that? Was he suspicious?
"What's wrong? I don't remember raising a little fool." Hongjun smiled, looking at Chang Hao who was staring blankly at him while holding the Golden Lotus of Merit. He felt extremely pleased. Sure enough, this handle was very useful.
Chang Hao was speechless. It was all because Hongjun suddenly said such things again. It was very frightening, and he was prone to overthinking.
Fortunately, Hongjun seemed to be speaking casually, his mind was focused on the pill formed from the unfortunate hollow willow. Chang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, rested his chin on his hand, and stared at Hongjun. He was distracted by Hongjun's recent cryptic remarks, wondering whether he should confess.
Hongjun seemed to know something. Chang Hao examined the difference in strength between himself and Hongjun, feeling somewhat hopeless. He couldn't bring himself to entrust his fate entirely to Hongjun and gamble on Hongjun's feelings.
At the very least, even if he can't beat them, he should be able to escape like Luo Hou before he can talk.
Hongjun extracted the essence of Yangmei, including Yangmei's laws, and put it into the Qiankun Cauldron. Wood generates fire, which is just right for Chang Hao to soak in and absorb.
Then, separating Yangmei's physical body from Yangmei's soul, he noticed Chang Hao's lively eyes out of the corner of his eye. Yes, that's it. He should focus all his attention on Hongjun and not waste it on trivial matters.
With the added benefit of future memories, Hongjun easily analyzed the little liar's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. He was very pleased with Chang Hao's wholehearted attention.
"Here you go, the hollow willow branch itself. It's a rare find, and an excellent material for refining weapons and setting up formations. Keep it safe." Hongjun handed Yangmei's 'corpse' to Chang Hao.
Chang Hao dared not say more and obediently put away the hollow willow branch. He really couldn't afford to offend Hongjun now. He couldn't help but wonder why Hongjun had become smarter.
Chang Hao's mind raced as he analyzed the journey from Zixiao Palace to Guixu, going back and forth several times.
Seeing that Chang Hao was suspicious, Hongjun was worried that he might frighten Chang Hao and that Chang Hao might hide when he wasn't paying attention.
Hongjun had not forgotten the blessed land that Pangu had reserved for Chang Hao atop Mount Buzhou. It was the only place he could not set foot in, unless he wanted to destroy the prehistoric world, in which case he could force his way in regardless of the consequences.
