Chapter 441 Chief Instructor of Three Hundred Chang’e
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, come over~ It’s definitely not something bad. Why would I lie to you, Senior Brother? I can’t cheat me even if I want to, right!?!” At night, in the forest behind the mountain of Little Qiong Peak, which was enveloped by an array formation, Ling’e grabbed Li Changshou’s arm and dragged him to a patch of gra.s.s. The ordinary Connate Spirit sap in the surroundings was specially supplied to the spiritual tree. It was like a magnificent stone pillar that supported the night sky, emitting an ancient and desolate aura.
Ling’e pulled her senior brother to the center of the gra.s.sland. Just as she was about to retreat, she frowned and asked, “Senior Brother, you’re standing here now…”
“My main body,” Li Changshou answered seriously. “After all, you specially mentioned it previously.” “That’s good.” Ling’e bit her tongue and smiled as she took two steps back and slowly turned around.
Her movements were gentle and smooth. Her long hair and skirt fluttered slightly. Accompanied by the starlight that shone through the gaps in the treetops, she was like the most beautiful fairy in the forest. Light white light shone from the gra.s.s in all directions. They were common glowing spiritual insects.
They first slowly rose and danced around the gra.s.sland in the forest, causing the forest to have a faint glow. Li Changshou looked at that scene calmly.
Ling’e stood ten feet away and leaned forward slightly. Her eyes reflected the starlight, and she looked a little dreamy.
“Senior Brother, is it nice?”. “Yes.” Li Changshou asked helplessly, “I’m really fine. Are you going to…” “Don’t speak!”
Ling’e suddenly became stronger. She puffed out her chest and raised her head.
Then, she recalled the times when she was bullied by her senior brother. She cringed and whispered, “Can… can I?”
Li Changshou nodded and sat on the ground.
Come on, girl. Let’s see what you and those sneaky guys are up to. Ling’e took a few steps back. Two cute fairies with dull eyes walked out of the forest. They were naturally Ling’e’s paper effigies. A melodious melody sounded on the Little Qiong Peak.
The first step of the plan to save unhappy people was “Music”.
Music can heal the wounds in one’s Dao heart.
Music can calm one’s emotions. Music is used to pave the way for the next plan! After the song ended, Li Changshou smiled… Dong! Dong! Dong! It was as if a huge elephant was running in the forest. The melody that Ling’e played became lighter along with the footsteps. “Phew!” A shout came from the side. Xiong Lingli raised the two young “long-necked sheep” and jumped in front of Li Changshou! The six-feet-tall, mountain-like huge body danced the prayer dance that had been circulating in Xiong Village for a long time. He even shouted… Li Changshou was speechless. Ling’e pursed her lips, but she could not say anything Due to the fact that the senior foodies of the Little Qiong Peak were discussing their plans, and could not come to a consensus, they decided to take turns to see who could make Li Changshou laugh out loud.
Li Changshou watched patiently with confusion. Finally, Xiong Lingli finished posing.
The two young spiritual beasts under her arms turned around and vomited.
At that moment, Xiong Lingli’s face was filled with antic.i.p.ation. She kept giving Li Changshou hints with her eyes, as if she was waiting for Li Changshou to comment.
Li Changshou frowned and asked, “Do you miss home? If you want to go back to Xiong Village to take a look, I’ll arrange for you to go home tomorrow.”
I do…
Xiong Lingli’s legs turned weak and she almost knelt down.
“No, no, no. Cousin, I’m fine on the mountain. I’ll go back first. Don’t worry about me. Hehe, hehe.” After saying that, Xiong Lingli hugged the two baby spiritual beasts that were like dolls and left dejectedly. Looking at Xiong Lingli’s back, Li Changshou suddenly understood that they should want him to be happier… Ling’e lowered her head and the music returned to its original melodious tone.
“Ahem!”
A light cough sounded from the forest. Jiang Lin’er walked over with her hands behind her back. She raised her hand and pointed at the gra.s.s in front of Li Changshou. She put down a short table and set up two jars of immortal wine.
Li Changshou was about to stand up and bow when Jiang Lin’er pressed him down. “Master…”
“There’s no need to say anything. I understand. What’s the big deal?” Jiang Lin’er casually poked open the seal on the wine jar and took two huge bowls. She retracted one of her jade-like arms into her sleeve and stuck it out in front of her collar to tie her sleeve to her chest.
The aura of a hero from the Primordial World wafted over.
Jiang Lin’er raised the wine jar and shouted, “It’s all in the wine! If you’re my brother, drink it!”
Then, he raised his head and gulped it down.
Drinking like that was a small trick. It looked like a luxurious drink, but in fact, most of the wine had been spilled. Li Changshou sighed. He knew that Jiang Lin’er should be feeling quite depressed. After all, Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu and his master, Qi Yuan, were raised by Jiang Lin’er. In the end…
Li Changshou picked up the wine jar and frowned when the wine entered his throat. The taste was far inferior to his wine. He might be a stable disciple, but he was actually an exquisite disciple of Ren School. Especially under the influence of Senior Bai Ze in recent years, he had a certain level of interest in taste.
The corners of Lingle’s mouth twitched. She felt that the atmosphere was a little different from what she had imagined… A moment later…
Bang!
The empty wine jar was smashed onto the table. Jiang Lin’er burped and looked at her grand-disciple who was looking at her warmly.
His gaze was actually so warm. It was filled with guilt and helplessness. In an instant, it tore open the two scars in Jiang Lin’er’s heart.
Jiang Lin’er lowered her head and spat out a mouthful of wine. She leaned over the short table and cried, “I’m a failed Heaven Immortal!” “Grandmaster, it’s all in the past.” Li Changshou persuaded warmly, “People have to look forward. Master still has his soul…”
Ling’e’s zither music was in a mess, and there seemed to be the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng.
Xiong Lingli, who was squatting not far away, hurriedly ran up and carried Jiang Lin’er. She smiled awkwardly at Li Changshou and lowered her head to run away.
Her attempt to battle had failed twice!
Li Changshou could not help but laugh. Just as he was about to say that he should not cause trouble, a clear copper bell sounded from the side…
Two beautiful figures came over with music. They were dressed in immortal silk clothes and held light-patterned fans. Their ta.s.seled skirts swayed like water ripples.
However, the awkward and unnatural dance of the two of them made Li Changshou almost laugh out loud.
On the left was Jiu Jiu, who rarely donned an immortal dress!
Although she was still as sinful as before, she was more immortal and pure than usual. Her face and temperament were much more mature, and she had the demeanor of a fairy.
On the right, Youqin Xuanya was rather charming. She had a delicate figure to begin with. Hence, her dressing now was more gentle and charming. However, her expression was a little stiff. There would be a frown on her beautiful face from time to time as she seriously recalled her next actions… Unfortunately… If it was only at that level, Li Changshou would have wanted to raise his hand to cover his eyes more than he would have the urge to laugh out loud. However, after Jiu Jiu and Youqin Xuanya danced awkwardly for a while, they suddenly retreated to the left and right. The two of them bowed and maintained the motion of fanning themselves. The music started to sound a little strange.
A black shadow flashed from the forest and rushed out between Jiu Jiu and Youqin Xuanya’s fans. The two beams of light from the side hit him!
That person was wearing a blue veil and a pink and green immortal dress. As the music sounded, he began to sway his body and sang a mortal song that was a little fluctuating. After singing for a while, he lifted the veil and revealed his face that was covered in heavy makeup, two pigtails, and his signature… goatee! “Ah, Brother is so handsome, Brother entices me. I have to do it with a smile on my face…”
Pfft!
Li Changshou raised his hand and poked his eyes, choosing to temporarily lose his sight. Mr. Bai, your image as an elegant military advisor has collapsed! However, Li Changshou still resisted the urge to complain and let them finish the “show”. Then, he stood up with a black face.
“Come over!”
In the forest at the side, the few of them looked at each other and walked out obediently. They did not dare to look straight ahead. Li Changshou sighed and said, “I appreciate everyone’s intentions, but I have indeed adjusted my condition. Also, Mr. Bai!” Bai Ze hurriedly touched his face and smiled. “It’s all because Ling’e invited me to join in the fun… I went all out.”
At that moment, Li Changshou was full of complaints, but he could not voice them out.
Youqin Xuanya frowned and asked, “Senior Brother, are you… unhappy when you see these?”
“Come, sit here and look at Mr. Bai.” Youqin Xuanya leaned over and looked up at Bai Ze. She was embarra.s.sed.
Jiu Jiu and Jiang Lin’er also came over. The former immediately laughed out loud.
The latter was still drunk. She looked at Bai Ze, who was disguised as a woman, and then at herself. She sighed dejectedly, turned around, hugged Youqin Xuanya, and cried again. She even muttered, “They’re actually the same.”
Li Changshou swept his long sleeve and turned around to use his escape technique. He retreated in defeat.
Bai Ze hurriedly bade farewell. Li Changshou was not present. He did not dare to interact with the women of the Little Qiong Peak… Ling’e looked in the direction of the Pill Chamber with a thoughtful expression.
It seemed that Senior Brother was going to force her to use a huge move. Ling’e took out a jade token from her sleeve and sneered. She tapped the jade token twice and turned around to enter the forest. “Is Sister in seclusion? No? Well, I’m thinking about how to make Senior Brother happier… Yes, yes, yes. Master’s matter had a huge impact on Senior Brother. Me? I’m fine. I’m just worried about Senior Brother. I’m cultivating in the mountains every day. Senior Brother still has to deal with all kinds of major matters. If his mental state is unstable and he gets taken advantage of by the enemy, that would be terrible…”
A soft voice sounded in the forest for a while. The laughter of a few female immortals and a female half Magus sounded from the side. Ling’e put away the jade token and smiled smugly.
…
Li Changshou, who had originally planned to return to the Heavenly Courts at dawn, decided to set off an hour earlier.
The trauma in his Dao heart. His main body was hiding in the Little Qiong Peak. Li Changshou closed his eyes and activated the paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d Residence. A paper effigy floated out from the bookshelf beside him and turned into a white-haired old Daoist priest.
It had been a long time.
Li Changshou’s immortal senses spread out like flowing water. He saw the spiritual pearls that were cultivating and the large number of Heavenly Soldiers guarding the door.
Everything in the Water G.o.d Residence was normal. The Heavenly Courts seemed to be normal as well. However, outside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, a golden pillar of light slowly circled around. There were squares on it, indicating that the Heavenly Courts lacked a Deity Position.
When the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation began and the Tribulation Response Spirit appeared, and his essence soul entered the G.o.d roll, the golden pillar of light would have another name. That would be decided by the Jade Emperor. The Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor had given the Jade Emperor the authority to decide if he needed to enter the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou smiled when he saw the pillar of light.
Indeed, there were many changes. The current Heavenly Courts should be much stronger than the Heavenly Courts in the original G.o.d-Conferment Story. That was why the Jade Emperor had more authority… From this perspective, everything that he had done in the past had become a small ripple that would change the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. There were many changes. Li Changshou stood up with his horsetail whisk and deliberately released a wisp of aura, causing the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals outside the door to be stunned. The wooden door opened and many gazes were cast over. A Heavenly General looked excited. He cupped his hands and bowed to Li Changshou. He shouted, “On His Majesty’s orders, we welcome the Water G.o.d!” The Heavenly Generals cupped their fists and bowed. The Heavenly Soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, “Welcome, Water G.o.d!” Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He cupped his hands and returned the greeting with his horsetail whisk. He smiled and said, “Thank you for guarding this place. I’m going to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to meet His Majesty now.”
“Do we need to escort the Water G.o.d?”
“No need, no need.” Li Changshou smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t worry.” At that moment, the Water G.o.d Residence was abnormally lively. The spiritual pearls that were cultivating were also awakened. When they saw Li Changshou’s figure, they heaved a long sigh of relief.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the Water G.o.d Residence had burning gazes.
Although it had only been more than ten years, which was not a long time in the Primordial World for Essence Immortals and True Immortals, it felt like a long time to the Heavenly Courts’ soldiers. That kind of wors.h.i.+p was not just for the strong and the experts. It was a subtle sense of recognition.
Many Heavenly Soldiers rushed over, but they did not dare to speak. They only looked at Li Changshou and left a path for the Water G.o.d to leave.
Li Changshou smiled and rode a cloud. He walked calmly and took the path to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Not long after… “Teacher!”
He heard shouts from the side. Long Ji arrived on a cloud. When she saw Li Changshou, she could not help but be overjoyed. “Teacher, are you alright? Can the essence soul already be used as an incarnation? When General Dongmu was carried back that day, he was really frightened to death…” “It’s fine,” Li Changshou said seriously. “Have you done all the homework that we set up previously?”
Long Ji stopped in her tracks and pointed between her eyebrows. She muttered, “Huh? I think I saw Teacher just now. It must be an illusion. It should be an illusion. Ah, I still have to send tea to Mother.” “Wait for me at the Water G.o.d Residence.”
Li Changshou said firmly. Long Ji sniffled aggrievedly and turned around to leave the Water G.o.d Residence dejectedly. On the way to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, more than half of the immortals and G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts rushed over to meet him. Among them, Ao Yi, Bian Zhuang, and the other generals of the Heavenly River Navy were the most excited. Li Changshou arrived at the door of the hall. After waiting for a while, General Dongmu immediately bowed to Li Changshou and shouted, “Thank you for saving my life, Changgeng!” “General Dongmu, please wait.” Li Changshou hurriedly raised his hand and supported him. “We are both officials of the Hall. We are all serving His Majesty. How can we not save him?”
General Dongmu wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he only smiled and said, “Your Majesty has been waiting for Changgeng for a long time. Go in quickly.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and quickly walked up the stairs and rushed into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Li Changshou looked up and saw the Jade Emperor sitting quietly on the throne and reading the memorial. Li Changshou continued to walk quickly. When he arrived at the platform, he bowed and bowed.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!” The voice echoed in the hall, but there was no response. General Dongmu, who was outside the hall, could not help but turn his head to take a look. However, he realized that the entire hall was wrapped in golden light and isolated from the outside world…
In the hall, Li Changshou maintained his bowing posture. He raised his head slightly and stole a glance at the Jade Emperor’s calm expression. He lowered his head and shouted again, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“Yes.” The Jade Emperor responded this time. A faint golden light floated above his white robe. If the Jade Emperor did not speak, Li Changshou could not stand up. He could only maintain his posture…
What is going on? Li Changshou’s mind raced slightly. Soon, he had a plan. He said, “Mu Qinghua of the Mu Hua Academy greets the Jade Emperor!”
Crack!
The Jade Emperor slapped the memorial on the jade table and gritted his teeth. “Alright! It’s really you! Li Changgeng, do you admit your sins!?!”
Li Changshou frowned and sighed. “I’m willing to go to the Thunder Punishment Hall to receive punishment again!” He secretly mentioned that he had been punished by the Queen Mother.
“Hmph!”
The Jade Emperor snorted softly and stood up. With a hint of smugness, he said calmly, “On the account that you were forced to do so, I’ll settle this score with you later. Tell me, what happened between you and the mighty figures of the demon race in the North Continent?” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “They captured General Dongmu. I was afraid that the Heavenly Courts would be pa.s.sive, so I chased after them.” “That’s it?”
“More or less… yes.”
The Jade Emperor walked down the platform and sat on the third-to-last jade step. He leaned back and said leisurely, “Then why did the Grand Pure One attack Zhun Ti of the Western Sect? Why did G.o.ddess Nuwa repair the soul of a Turbid Immortal? Why did the Heavenly Dao tell the Heavenly Courts that we lost a Mountain G.o.d?”
Li Changshou sighed. “That Mountain G.o.d is actually the master who raised me since I was young.”
The Jade Emperor was stunned. He immediately sat up and whispered, “There’s actually such an inside story. Changgeng, don’t take it to heart. I’m just a little curious… This is…”
“Your Majesty, my master has only become a Turbid Immortal. He has reincarnated in advance and obtained the benefits from the Saint. This is already a huge opportunity.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
“Changgeng, come and sit.” The Jade Emperor patted the jade steps beside him. “Let’s report to the important matters first. Let’s talk about what happened during the calamity this time. Why did Jie School reject the invitation of Duke Mu?”
Li Changshou agreed and sat on the lowest jade step to report the battle in the North Continent in detail. The Jade Emperor was his “comrade” who had to be united and trusted each other during the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. Li Changshou had to strengthen that relations.h.i.+p at that moment. Therefore, he did not hide anything. He even told the Jade Emperor about the things that he had arranged when he was recuperating. However, the Jade Emperor was a little distracted. He pondered… The pain of losing his master was so tragic!
Yes, I should find a reason to punish Changgeng and send him to the moon to nurture Chang’e and the others.
According to the information I had gathered during the ‘Golden Sun Period’, this was the position that male immortals yearned for the most in the Heavenly Courts. He should be very happy. The chief instructor for the 300 Chang’e is approved.
