“It’s a waste of time and energy, but keeping your word is a good thing,” Yang Qinglan said. “Sometimes, people would rather believe a criminal who keeps his promises than rely on a legitimate businessman who breaks his word.”
“That’s right. In ancient times, people would spend a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse’s bones. Now, Li Changzhou has taken over the moon and become a super developer.” Li Changzhou was very proud and let go of his sister.
Li Qianxia covered her thumb as if it were an injured little bird, and glared fiercely at Li Changzhou.
"How could you treat your own sister like this? Have you forgotten that one of the reasons Qinglan likes you is because you're good to your sister?"
"No, girls like boys who bully others," Yang Qinglan said.
"Nonsense! I'm a girl too. I only like kind-hearted guys who can make people laugh, not violent hooligans!"
"You only like older brothers, don't you? (Gemini)..."
"Ah—stop talking! Stop talking! I can't hear you, I can't hear you!" Li Qianxia covered her ears, closed her eyes tightly, and shook her head desperately—her thumb was perfectly fine.
Back in the "Honey Pot World" that night, Li Qianxia didn't even dare to cultivate alone, instead sidling up to Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan.
The two had no choice but to cultivate seriously.
The two snakes weren't exactly intimately connected, yet the cultivation effect didn't decrease. Could it be that having a younger sister around would be more exciting? I can't understand the twisted thoughts of the Yin-Yang Twin Snakes.
At night, the three of them slept together; to be precise, it was one room with three beds.
Li Qianxia slept in the middle, while Li Changzhou slept on the bed closest to the door, acting as a door god—Li Qianxia's original words.
Li Qianxia finally felt at ease after tucking the little radish into the blankets.
"With so many people, the ghost shouldn't be able to get in."
"Are there ghosts in the honey pot world?" Yang Qinglan asked.
"What do you mean, 'not there'? The Frost Queen's corpse is still lying there! Besides, the Honey Pot World can't stop ghosts at all!"
"The ghost is truly amazing, truly powerful, even more so than me. Even S-rank items couldn't stop it," Li Changzhou sighed.
"What is a ghost?" Little Radish asked in his clear, childlike voice.
"Ghosts are the scariest things in the world. To you, Little Radish, they're like birds that fly in the sky and eat meat."
Little Radish took a deep breath: "...Will the ghost come?"
“Yes!” Li Qianxia nodded seriously.
"Ghosts are so scary!"
"Right? Hey, wait a minute!"
"......"
“By the way,” her brother changed the subject, “Qinglan, remember to give Guo Xue a bonus of 1,000 yuan this month, and Ye Jianing 500 yuan.”
"Why?" His sister-in-law pretended not to hear anything.
“They call me boss,” Li Changzhou recalled the word.
In the darkness, Yang Qinglan pursed her lips, feeling a mixture of amusement and disdain.
The four of them lay on the bed and talked for a while. Li Qianxia then took out Little Radish and went to sleep.
The next day, Li Changzhou changed one of Butterfly's F-level skills, "Where is the Delicious Nectar?", to "Fast Track" and built a teleportation array between Naples and the Moon.
For the next two weeks, apart from going out because of matters on the moon, Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Li Qianxia spent the rest of their time cultivating in preparation for the next game.
For half a month, the three of them practiced together, and their visualization techniques reached their limit. They were all just one step away from entering the fifth level.
Yaochi had visited Qinglan Bookstore twice, but Li Changzhou had never met her; Li Qianxia had met her on his behalf.
January 1st.
"Brother, the lunar base is almost finished. Beya said she'll take us to visit it."
"Let's talk about it when we get back from the dungeon. We'll celebrate together then. This time, let's go all out and advance to the Human Immortal realm in one go."
"no problem!"
"Can I not go?" Little Radish asked.
Li Changzhou shoved her into his pocket.
After sending Bea Triss and the others from the Azure World back to the Azure World—Li Changzhou is dead, so they can only stay on the moon or Earth—the three of them entered the subway.
◇
I heard a great chanting of mantras.
"The Primordial Beginning brings peace and tranquility, and proclaims this to all spirits. The true officials of the mountains and rivers, and the spirits of the land and people, are all present."
"The altars of the gods of the land and grain are on the left and the granaries on the right; do not be alarmed. Return to the right path, and you will find clarity both inside and out."
"Each of you shall remain in your proper place and guard the altar. The Supreme One has commanded you to search for and capture evil spirits."
"Guardian Deity King, protect..."
Li Changzhou opened his eyes and saw Taoist priests sitting cross-legged all over the ground, with a huge altar in front of him.
The golden boy and jade girl stood in two rows, surrounded by fragrant flowers, with a huge incense candle burning in the center, and the statues of the Three Pure Ones enshrined on it.
There were also green lions and white elephants, so lifelike and agile that they seemed ready to pounce at any moment.
Fragrant mist swirls and clouds swirl, outlining the characters.
[Date: December 29th, 1539 (the 18th year of the Jiajing reign)]
Location: Chongyu Altar, Beijing
[Background: In the early Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen, the last immortal of heaven and earth, slew a dragon, thus severing the path to immortality. The remaining dragon vein remained hidden within the Zhu family. From Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Houcong, through eleven emperors, the power of the dragon vein was almost completely depleted. Those from all over the land who wished to become immortals flocked to the capital, vying for the dragon vein.]
[Characters: Successor of the Eastern King (fake); Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Cult (real)]
Main Quest: Transcend Tribulation and Become an Immortal
[Mission Objective: Seize the Dragon Vein and transcend the tribulation to become an immortal]
[Note: After the Jiajing Emperor, there were five more emperors in the Ming Dynasty. The remaining power of the dragon vein could only satisfy five people to become immortals.]
[Note: The player's 'Abilities' have all been converted into 'Mana']
There are also some fragmented memories.
The true successor of the Eastern King Duke has been killed by the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Sect;
The Taoist priest on the altar is Shao Yuanjie, the True Man of Zhengyi from Longhu Mountain, who can be invincible for a short time by using the power of the dragon vein.
The imposing man praying to Heaven beside the Taoist priest was the Jiajing Emperor.
Many people from the Divine Cult arrived, including the Heavenly Emperor (known in the martial arts world as the Demon Emperor), the Heavenly Empress (also known as the Demon Empress), the Five Heavenly Lords (Demon Lords), and countless disciples and followers.
I also remember that the Heavenly Empress and the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Sect were traveling together, right beside me.
Li Changzhou looked over.
Yaochi, whom she hadn't seen for half a month, raised her sleeves shyly, refusing to let him see her.
"...What kind of mess have you made?"
"What did you say?" On the altar, Master Zhengyi suddenly turned around, his eyes shining brightly.
Hundreds of Taoist priests, thousands of eunuchs and palace maids, tens of thousands of imperial guards, and the Jiajing Emperor all looked at Li Changzhou.
