Chapter 95 Cang Li sat opposite the Eastern Emperor Taiyi…
Cang Li sat opposite Donghuang Taiyi, taking the initiative from the start:
“I accept my loss and will have no further dealings with the Wu Clan.”
Donghuang Taiyi looked blank for a moment, then remembered what Cang Li had said. Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but chuckle, and after a long while, he said:
"good."
Cang Li looked resentful. But it wasn't her fault; she'd only lived for about thirty years, so it was normal that she couldn't compare to these old monsters.
Donghuang Taiyi sighed when he saw Cang Li's expression and said, "That bet was just something I said in a fit of anger. Don't take it to heart. It's for your own good that you don't associate with the Wu Clan."
Cang Li was too embarrassed to say anything and remained silent.
Donghuang Taiyi continued:
"Cang Li, don't associate with the Witch Clan, and... don't associate with the Demon Clan either. Live a good life with your human race and don't get involved."
This was Donghuang Taiyi's sincere advice. He considered Cangli a friend and knew what kind of person Cangli was, which is why he gave him such earnest advice.
Cang Li stared blankly at Donghuang Taiyi, and blurted out subconsciously, "But aren't you a demon? You even became my master."
Donghuang Taiyi sighed: "This is different. You and I are friends... Never mind, let's just stay out of it. I see that you have a good relationship with Kunlun Mountain, so this is good."
Taiqing immediately popped into Cang Li's mind, and he nodded in complete agreement. Indeed, he was the best. On Kunlun Mountain, Daoist Taiqing was the absolute best!
Seeing the smile on Cang Li's face, Donghuang Taiyi felt much better. Just as he was about to get up to take his leave, he suddenly remembered to ask Cang Li:
Why are Dijiang and Zhujiuyin attacking you? Has something happened?
Cang Li was about to mention the Xuanyuan Sword, but then swallowed his words. The person in front of him was not only a friend, but also one of the leaders of the demon race. If the Xuanyuan Sword really posed a fatal threat to the witch race, then he certainly couldn't say anything.
"They're being unreasonable. I recently had a falling out with Houtu, and they're repaying kindness with enmity by trying to capture me and steal my magic weapon."
Cang Li spoke with conviction, saying that apart from the Xuanyuan Sword, most of the other items were true.
Donghuang Taiyi felt there was something else going on, otherwise Dijiang wouldn't have gone to such lengths to come to the human race in person.
"Yeah?"
Cang Li nodded: "Yes!"
Donghuang Taiyi knew Cang Li was lying, so this matter couldn't be known by the demon race. Donghuang Taiyi hesitated for a while before finally saying to Cang Li:
"Then be careful. If it really doesn't work out, go to Nuwa Palace or Kunlun Mountain for a while. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Cang Li hurriedly got up to see him off, but Donghuang Taiyi flew a few steps away and then turned back to Cang Li, saying:
"Since it's something that can't be said, then don't tell anyone, especially not the demon race."
After saying that, Donghuang Taiyi left.
Cang Li stood there for a while before turning back to Er and saying, "Your master is a pretty nice person."
Er couldn't comment on this. He had seen Donghuang Taiyi on the battlefield; he was decisive, cold-blooded, and ruthless.
After Cang Li finished speaking, he patted Er's head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You finally came back. How have you been doing in the demon realm lately? If you're really having trouble, just come back. You've been studying for so long anyway."
Er hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "I'm doing fine in the demon realm, elder sister. I'm not coming back. I've been learning from my master for so many years, how can I leave at this time?"
Cang Li nodded: "Okay, whatever you want. If you feel unhappy or troubled, or if you can't stay in the demon race anymore, then come back."
Er earnestly promised Cang Li, "I will, sister. If the Witch Clan comes to cause you trouble again, sister, don't hesitate to kill them."
Cang Li raised an eyebrow and gave Er a tap on the head: "Alright, I'm older than you, how could I not know? If it weren't for Zhu Jiuyin's sneak attack, I would have definitely killed Di Jiang."
Er laughed and decided to stay at home for a few days before leaving.
That evening, Cang Li tidied the bed: "Here, I've aired out the blankets for you. Get some rest."
After stammering for a while, Er grabbed his blanket and went to the next room, saying as he ran, "Sister! I'm all grown up now, I don't want to share a room with you!"
Cang Li: ?
Cang Li looked around. She hadn't made many changes to the cave, except that she had used bamboo to separate the beds. It was indeed no different from a room.
I didn't expect Er to be shy.
Cang Li pondered for a moment and then smiled. She sat on the bed and meditated, her consciousness sinking into her spiritual palace. She had questions about the Xuanyuan Sword and wondered if the little elf Taoist priest in her spiritual palace could answer them for her.
The white tree within the Spirit Mansion covers an area larger than it did ten years ago. Under the tree, Cang Li's cushions, recliners, mats, and a small low table on the other side, with a chess set on it, where Tai Qing sits.
Cang Li walked over and sat down, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Tai Qing. She couldn't help but sigh, the Daoist's beauty was indeed astonishing. She hadn't gotten tired of looking at him even after ten years. She should have stayed a little longer to admire the real person when she went to Kunlun Mountain to borrow the magic weapon.
Taiqing looked at Cangli. Cangli had come to Kunlun Mountain before and left in a hurry without saying a word to him. He was actually a little worried. Now that he saw that Cangli was alright, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, there's something I don't understand."
Taiqing silently watched Cangli. He knew that Cangli thought he was an illusion, and Taiqing never exposed him.
Cang Li continued, "Ten years ago, I killed some Wu tribesmen who were causing me trouble. At that time, nothing happened. Now, Di Jiang is causing me trouble because of these Wu tribesmen and wants me to hand over the Xuanyuan Sword. Only then did I realize that there might be something wrong with the Xuanyuan Sword."
"Daoist Master, tell me, how exactly was the Xuanyuan Sword forged? Why is Dijiang so desperate to hand it over? He even abandoned the sword upon seeing Fellow Daoist Taiyi, threatening me not to let the demon race know of its existence. Daoist Master, what exactly is going on?"
Cang Li spoke with some worry, she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to leave the Xuanyuan Sword with her, or whether it would bring back otaku to the human race.
Taiqing frowned slightly. He knew there was something wrong with the Xuanyuan Sword, but he hadn't expected it to involve the Wu Clan. After thinking for a long time, Taiqing finally spoke:
"I don't know. Now that you have your own natal magic weapon, if you are not at ease, you can temporarily store the Xuanyuan Sword in Kunlun Mountain."
Cang Li's eyes lit up. That's right. It's safe to keep it in Kunlun Mountain, and most importantly, the Three Pure Ones definitely won't want her things.
"Master, you really know how to come up with ideas!"
Taiqing smiled faintly, but the next second Cangli pinched her cheek and said with a grin:
"Oh my, I've noticed you're becoming more and more like a real person. You're so worthy of me. Next time, I must find a way to see what the Taoist priest looks like without clothes, to see if he really has eight-pack abs. Hehe~ I'll conjure them up for you after I see them."
Taiqing: ...
Ten years have passed, and Taiqing never expected that Cangli would still have not given up on this idea.
Cang Li suddenly pounced on Tai Qing, leaning half her body against him, lying there lazily.
"Lying down is still the most comfortable~"
After saying that, he patted Taiqing's chest.
Taiqing looked down at Cangli, whose eyes were closed, and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Cangli's cheek with her fingertips.
Cang Li opened his eyes in confusion and immediately met Tai Qing's complicated gaze.
"?"
Cang Li immediately scrambled to his feet and knelt before Tai Qing, leaning forward to get close to Tai Qing's face and observe him closely.
"Master, something seems off about you."
Taiqing froze, staring at Cangli without saying a word, simultaneously not wanting Cangli to notice and hoping that Cangli would notice.
After Cang Li finished speaking, he laughed heartily: "It must be because I've been using you as an AI all these years that you've become smarter and a mature AI!"
Taiqing: ...
What kind of powerful magic weapon is AI that can know everything like it?
The next day, Cang Li did not rush to Kunlun Mountain. All the tribes of the human race were preparing shelters, storing water and food. Cang Li was afraid that one day they would really all emerge together.
After about six months, everyone was ready. Cang Li breathed a sigh of relief. During these six months, Di Jiang did not come to see her again. She didn't know if he was held up by something or if he was wary of the Xuanyuan Sword and the Ruler of Indoctrination in her hands.
However, Cang Li has decided to take advantage of the relatively calm time to go to Kunlun Mountain and ask Taiqing to help keep the Xuanyuan Sword safe.
The Xuanyuan Sword is a treasure of the human race and was also the weapon of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan in later generations. No matter what, it cannot be lost.
Cang Li gave Nini a brief instruction and then set off for Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun Mountain is surrounded by auspicious clouds all year round, and Cang Li went to Taiqing's place with familiarity.
It was quite a coincidence that they arrived at the scene. Yuanshi was playing chess with Taiqing, and Tongtian was watching from the side. He even tried to move the chess pieces to give his elder brothers some pointers, but was then beaten up by Yuanshi.
Upon Cang Li's arrival, Yuan Shi stopped disciplining his younger brother, straightened his clothes, and looked at Cang Li nonchalantly:
"What brings you here today?"
Cang Li pointed at Taiqing: "I've come to see the Daoist!"
Taiqing's lips curled up, and his hands began to gather the anticipation as he calmly instructed Xuandu:
"Serve tea to Cang Li."
Xuan Du responded and left, also informing the cultivator Yu Cangli that he had arrived.
Tongtian, holding his head, mocked Yuanshi:
"Second brother, you haven't given up yet? Do you think Cang Li is someone you can discuss philosophy with? Every time she comes here, it's to see eldest brother."
Yuanshi: ...
Yuanshi turned around and glared fiercely at Tongtian.
Tongtian spread his hands, then hooked his arm around Cangli's neck:
"Cang Li, what do you want with my brother? Tell me, and then we can have a little sparring."
Tongtian hadn't traveled for a long time. He was tired of fighting with Yuanshi at home, but his two older brothers wouldn't let him go out. Now that Cangli had arrived, Tongtian was itching to fight again.
Cang Li jumped three meters away, frantically waving his hands in refusal: "No, no, no, no, I can't beat you! Please let me go!"
Just kidding. She didn't remember the others very clearly, but she remembered very well how this guy in the Investiture of the Gods single-handedly held off four saints without being at a disadvantage. When she was practicing her sword skills and looking for someone to fight, she was often beaten black and blue by Tongtian. Tongtian was ruthless.
Tongtian turned around and complained, "Big brother! Are you talking badly about me?!"
Taiqing: "No, don't disturb Cangli's serious business."
Cang Li walked over and sat down next to Tai Qing, took out the Xuanyuan Sword, and said only after making sure no one was around:
"It's the sword's fault. The Wu Clan has gone crazy for some reason. That Dijiang is willing to turn against me to snatch this sword. I'm worried that it will harm the human race, so I want the Daoist to keep this sword safe for me. Anyway, I still have the Hongmeng Holy Sword and the Teaching Ruler. With the Teaching Ruler, no one can get close to me."
She tried using the teaching ruler on the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, and it had some effect, but not much. Since it was effective on the saints, it was no problem for others.
