"Master, do you want to become stronger? Kong Ming has a way." Kong Ming felt that it was his responsibility to persuade his master to walk on the right path.
Kong Ming had sensed Wen Ziqing's desire to remain in the secular world and become a powerful figure. Kong Ming found it strange. How could his master have such unmotivated thoughts? What good was there in becoming a high-ranking official in the secular world? Wen Ziqing was the future Lord of the Underworld!
"What do you have in mind?" Wen Ziqing didn't quite believe it, but still asked with a glimmer of hope.
"Master, you are Kong Ming's master, the chosen one, the future Lord of the Underworld. As long as you are willing, Kong Ming will immediately hold a succession ceremony for you and take charge of the Underworld." Kong Ming explained.
"Hu Ao. Isn't the underworld where the dead go? Kong Ming, you don't want me to die first, do you?" Wen Ziqing thought Kong Ming was crazy. Who wants to die when they can live?
"No, the Lord of the Underworld isn't a dead person, it's an Immortal Lord." Kong Ming was anxious. How could the master be so ignorant? The Lord of the Underworld needs to control a realm, and his strength is comparable to that of the Immortal Lords who rule the Immortal Realm. How could the master treat the Lord of the Underworld as a dead person? Shouldn't he be an Immortal Lord?
"No." Wen Ziqing remained unmoved.
"Why? Master, aren't you aiming to improve your strength? Becoming a Dark Lord will instantly elevate you to Immortal Lord status. You can reach Kyoto in a flash if you choose. Why would you envy Zhou Yuanyuan, who's only at the Nascent Soul stage?" Kong Ming was practically going crazy. Immortal Lord! The status so many cultivators dream of. It was right there before Wen Ziqing's eyes. All he needed was a nod from Wen Ziqing. Strength and status were within his grasp. Why wouldn't he want it?
"Nascent Soul? Kong Ming, does Yu know that you look down on Yuanyuan?" Wen Ziqing narrowed his eyes. If Zhou Yuanyuan were here, she would definitely be able to see that Wen Ziqing was on the verge of getting angry.
That’s right, Kong Ming spoke of Zhou Yuanyuan in a contemptuous tone, and Wen Ziqing was angry.
"Master, Master, Kong Ming was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please don't tell Boss Yu." Kong Ming was almost scared to tears. The Nascent Soul cultivator was nothing. The identity of "Master Yu's Master" was still very intimidating to Kong Ming.
After Kong Ming regained his memory, he naturally recalled the scene of Lian Nian being beaten by Yu. Even though Yu's strength was not as strong as before, Kong Ming didn't dare to touch Yu's tiger whiskers easily. Forget it, for Boss Yu's sake, he couldn't speak so openly and disdainfully to that woman again.
"Hmph." Wen Ziqing snorted and ignored Kong Ming.
"Master, Master, why are you so protective of Zhou..." Seeing Wen Ziqing's impatience, Kong Ming quickly changed the subject: "Master, do you know how powerful the Immortal King is? He can destroy the world with a wave of his hand, and can make the palace tremble with a sneeze. Also, I've seen before that every Immortal King is surrounded by a group of female fairies, and each of them is more beautiful than Zhou Yuanyuan..."
"Shut up! Kong Ming, if you say anything bad about Yuan Yuan again, get out of my sea of consciousness." Wen Ziqing's face was as dark as ink. Kong Ming was getting bolder and bolder. He knew that he didn't like Kong Ming belittling Yuan Yuan, but he kept doing this...
If Kong Ming hadn't stayed in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness the entire time, never leaving, Wen Ziqing would have almost thought Kong Ming had been swapped. Kong Ming used to be so innocent! Though useless, he was at least obedient, capable of refining soul water, and even helping Wen Ziqing out by killing Taoist Bao Pu.
What about Kong Ming now? He was arrogant and domineering. He spoke in a loud voice, as if there was no one or anything in the world he cared about except the jade.
"I know...I know!" Kong Ming felt a little frightened when he saw Wen Ziqing getting angry.
But was it wrong just now? Ever since he regained his memory, Kong Ming remembered that even the gods in the divine realm enjoyed being surrounded by the female fairies. Why was it that when it came to Wen Ziqing, not only did he not feel the slightest bit of joy, but he felt annoyed instead?
"Kong Ming, you must remember your own identity. I don't need to be the Lord of the Underworld. If you want to become the Lord of the Underworld's spiritual treasure, you can terminate the contract with me." Wen Ziqing warned Kong Ming.
Kong Ming was silent.
Cancel the contract? It needs to be able to do that!
Kong Ming's mission in this time and space is to be the spiritual treasure of the new Lord of the Underworld. Therefore, when it formed a contract with Wen Ziqing, Dao tacitly agreed that this contract was a master-servant contract that could not be terminated at all.
In other words, Kong Ming would be tightly bound to Wen Ziqing until his death. Otherwise, Kong Ming wouldn't have to risk Wen Ziqing's displeasure by repeatedly persuading him to take over the position of Lord of the Underworld.
"Master, the underworld cannot be without a monarch for long. If you are unwilling to take over the position of the Lord of the Underworld, the underworld will surely collapse within a thousand years. By then, you and Kong Ming will become sinners of this land." Seeing that the beauty, power and bribes could not tempt Wen Ziqing, Kong Ming quickly changed his method.
"No." Wen Ziqing still shook his head.
Wen Ziqing is not interested in becoming an immortal or a god at all.
In his previous life, Wen Ziqing was in a high position and had no one around him to confide in. In this life, the reason why Wen Ziqing became a cultivator was, in a word, for Zhou Yuanyuan, so that he could spend more time with her.
Kong Ming tricked him into going to the underworld? Yuanyuan was in the human world! Even though they were now thousands of kilometers apart, they were still in the same realm, so it was easy for them to meet. If he went to the underworld, wouldn't he be further and further away from Zhou Yuanyuan?
As for the collapse of the Void Underworld, Wen Ziqing didn't care at all. If the Underworld collapsed, it would be fine. It wasn't him who caused it. What did it have to do with him?
"Why not go? Isn't being an Immortal Lord good enough?" Kong Ming was dumbfounded. He had done everything he needed to do, and had found the reasons he needed to, so why was Wen Ziqing so unwilling to listen?
"If I don't go for such a good thing, someone will definitely rush to go! Whoever wants to go can go." Wen Ziqing said nonchalantly.
"Okay..." There was no way to say this.
After searching through his inherited memories, Kong Ming had never seen anyone who was unwilling to become an immortal.
What's the point of cultivating the Tao? Isn't it just to become an immortal? Now, if you can become an immortal without practicing, if there's even a hint of such a good thing, it would be strange if those in the cultivation world don't scramble to get it.
But the question is... why was Kong Ming so blind as to fall in love with Wen Ziqing, a master who has no ambition?
Sob, sob, sob... Kong Ming just wanted to cry to death.
In Kyoto City, Zhou Yuanyuan has been so busy these days that she has long forgotten about Wen Ziqing.
Zhao Yunxiang's new company has already started preparations. The factory is rented and the equipment is purchased directly from abroad. After the equipment is installed in the factory in a month, production can begin.
