Chapter 333 – An Open Ended Discussion
Liu Hao shook his head, “I don’t know who he is. His face had a full beard and looked like a Tenglong citizen, but his hair was blonde and he had a large body. He says he’s a fellow cultivator, has an imposing aura and says that he’s your friend. That’s the only reason I would keep this blade since it’s not too bad, and I really like it a lot.” Liu Hao waved the blade around and it was clear he was going through the motions of the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique but didn’t release any energy. The wind from the blade still managed to shatter a bowl on the table, scaring Liu Hao into immediately storing the blade.
“You’ve really received a treasure this time!” Lei Yu was saying this as he started going through his memory of all the people he knew. But after a while, he still didn’t know anyone that had that appearance and knew so much about the Spiritual Bead of Longevity.
Liu Hao smiled, “So master, do you like it? If you like it, I can give it to you!”
Lei Yu smiled and waved his hands, “Save it for yourself because it will be good for you. It’s best that you take it out when you cultivate because it can give you twice the benefits in half the time. Oh right, that ring of yours belongs to the Pope right?”
“That’s right.” Liu Hao stretched out his hand, “That Pope was making up all excuses in front of me saying how this was the Vatican’s holy item and how he cannot gift it to others. I scolded him for a while and even told him I was an ultimate existence that had surpa.s.sed the Sixth Order Warrior. After that, he didn’t even dare let out a fart and scuttled towards me to give it to me. Being a strong expert is so awesome!” Liu Hao’s expression looked just like a person that had gotten a prost.i.tute and someone else was paying for him.
“You brat!” Lei Yu laughed and yelled at him at the same time. When it came to the Vatican’s Pope, Lei Yu didn’t really have good feelings towards him. They did become allies in the end but towards a person with a hypocritical personality, Lei Yu preferred not to be a.s.sociated with him in the long run. For the Pope to make such a contribution wasn’t a big deal while on the other hand, Lei Yu wanted to meet the person who gave Liu Hao that precious blade so he could thank him personally.
“What did you name your blade?” Lei Yu asked.
“I gave it an imposing name called Qilin Blade!”
“Qilin Blade? Black Tortoise Shield? Interesting… really interesting… haha!”
As the banquet came to an end, the four beauties also came back from the city carrying many small and large bags. After seeing these four like sisters and getting along very well with each other, Lei Yu let out a sigh of relief.
“Little Yu, come with me.” Telepha.s.sa called out Lei Yu’s name before she went towards her bedchambers. Lei Yu glanced at the remaining three with a weird look but then quickly followed Telepha.s.sa.
“What is it?” Lei Yu asked as he sat atop of Telepha.s.sa’s bed.
Gently holding onto Lei Yu’s hand, this was the only time Telepha.s.sa would give such a gentle look. Each time Lei Yu encountered this gaze, he would become drowned in those eyes of her.
“I want to discuss something with you.” Said Telepha.s.sa.
“Discuss about what? Just say it.” Lei Yu asked in a serious manner.
After thinking for a bit, her fragrant lips slightly parted: “What are you going to do with Ying Ying and Nami?”
“Do with them? What do you mean do with them?” Lei Yu thought this matter had already been decided on but this clearly wasn’t what Telepha.s.sa was asking about.
“Why are you so muddleheaded? They both will slowly age and several decades later, they will even die. What are you going to do about it?”
Being blinded with joy, Lei Yu didn’t even think of this matter. Only after being reminded by Telepha.s.sa did he come to a realization. “I think if we have them start cultivating right now, it might be a bit too late. And it’s unrealistic to forcefully inject internal energy into them like what happened to Ai Er, right?”
“I cultivated the devil’s path because of you and have paid the most difficult price for a woman. You should know this right?” Telepha.s.sa tenderly asked.
Lei Yu nodded with a frown, “What you want to say is to have them two cultivate the devil’s path as well?”
“That’s what I was thinking. It was them two that brought it up to me and it seemed like they were very resolute in their decision. That’s why I wanted to discuss this matter with you.”
Lei Yu was deep in thought for a while before saying: “I’m afraid they’ll regret their decision in the future. You should know that in the Mortal World, how tragic it is if an old couple dies without any offspring sending them off. And for someone to have such a long life, eventually it would become even more painful in the future.” Speaking to this point, Lei Yu couldn’t help feel some pain in his heart as he thought about his own father. He recalled the longing gaze of his father of wanting him to return to the family and the disappointed look each time he would leave. When it came to his brother of a different mother, he was never in Tenglong country so Lei Yu had no feelings towards him at all. Without him and his brother and only his own clan members, Lei Yu could see how lonely his father would feel.
“What’s going on?” Seeing Lei Yu’s face filled with sadness, Telepha.s.sa gently caressed his cheeks and asked with concern.
With a light smile, Lei Yu replied: “I was thinking of my father. If I can return to the Mortal World, I believe I will forget all the previous matters I had with the clan and at least call him father one more time.”
Telepha.s.sa nodded, “I believe you will be capable of taking care of everything.”
After a long sigh, Lei Yu felt fortunate that all his women were so understanding. “Regarding Ying Ying and Nami cultivating the devil’s path, let’s not decide on it yet okay? It’s never too late once they decide to traverse that path. Even if they become old and not pretty anymore, I still won’t despise them. Can we wait until I take care of my matters first?”
“You are always unwilling to tell me what matter you have to take care of while their situation cannot be delayed continuously. You must keep this discussion at the forefront, okay?”
After pinching Telepha.s.sa’s chin, Lei Yu lightly smiled: “Don’t worry, I understand.”
Lei Yu lay down on the big soft bed before thinking carefully through each matter he had to do. Telepha.s.sa had left the room to tell Cui Ying Ying and Nami about Lei Yu’s thoughts.
The reason Lei Yu couldn’t make up his mind wasn’t because of Cui Ying Ying and Nami cultivating the devil’s path. The real reason was Lei Yu wasn’t sure if he could accomplish the Devil King’s request and he had no clue how dangerous it was. If he actually dies in the process, then it’ll mean the emotional support of the four women will have disappeared. Lei Yu has never been selfish and has always thought of others before himself, that’s why he couldn’t come to a decision with this matter.

“What did he say?” Seeing Telepha.s.sa come out, Cui Ying Ying dragged Nami over and anxiously asked. The thing Nami and her were afraid of the most was Lei Yu minding that they wouldn’t be able to have babies.
“Little Yu said he needs to think it over and it’s not because of the baby issue. Give him some time. As one of his lovers, you two must have faith in his ability in solving issues, okay?” Telepha.s.sa was over a thousand years older than them so what she said, Cui Ying Ying and Nami would nod in agreement.
