Chapter 709: Please Give Your Virginity, Boss He Tu
Translator: AL_Squad Editor: Chrissy
Senior Gem Emperor was really a master at disrupting other people’s rhythm.
Since she strangely woke up, w.a.n.g Lu found out that his rhythm couldn’t come back anymore.
At first, w.a.n.g Lu hatched a plan to close the relations.h.i.+p between Earth Immortals and his camp through Xuan Mo. As a result, just as he was about to take action, Senior Gem Emperor launched a coup d’etat to oust Xuan Mo and other people from power. The original work plan had to be sc.r.a.pped entirely.
The second time, w.a.n.g Lu went to the Mysterious Frost World alone and witnessed a fierce battle between Senior Gem Emperor and the World Dragon. He originally planned to leave quickly while Senior Gem Emperor recovered her strength. However, his opponent actually blocked his exit. Since then, w.a.n.g Lu had judged that Senior Gem Emperor’s ability to control rhythm was absolutely top-notch. She was very good at judging the actions of her opponents. Like someone who could predict without being a clairvoyant, at a crucial point, she could put on a bit of strength, making her able to lift heavy weights with just little strength. Let alone, her strength was enormous.
The third time was when w.a.n.g Wu, bringing a bouquet of flowers, proposed a marriage. She also had the intention of destroying the opponent’s rhythm with an oblique move. As a result, a group of fanatics easily destroyed her calculation. w.a.n.g Lu didn’t think that this was deliberately instigated by Senior Gem Emperor, but also did not think that she would not know about it. A wise emperor must know how to control people’s hearts. It was a necessary skill to let the cannon fodder to go to the front. This understated move really showed the strength of Senior Gem Emperor.
The fourth time was this counter marriage proposal, which was really unexpected, and made people slap the table and shout with praise. The counter marriage proposal seemed absurd as if it was a revenge on w.a.n.g Wu’s previous attempt. However, how could a majestic Senior Gem Emperor make such a silly joke?
She was truly serious. Seriously considering w.a.n.g Wu as a wife, a political marriage to draw the cultivators of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.
And exactly because of the seriousness of Senior Gem Emperor, w.a.n.g Lu felt that this fellow was really a top player in destroying people’s rhythm.
Because her method was feasible. Very feasible! With one person’s strength, she would wait in the Immortal One Arena, waiting for any challenge from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. If she could win in a row, her reputation would soar high. As for the marriage with w.a.n.g Wu… If she really wanted to marry w.a.n.g Wu to be a couple cultivator, she could calm many people’s doubts.
w.a.n.g Lu would do the same thing if he changed places with her!
The framework of Grand Compet.i.tion was disadvantageous to the Earth Immortal camp, no matter how it was calculated. Senior Gem Emperor’s ability to integrate the Earth Immortal camp would certainly cause them to have a renewed energy. However, after the loss of Xuan Mo and others, her team had been very thin. Facing such a comprehensive compet.i.tion such as the Grand Compet.i.tion, it was inevitable that there were difficulties. And w.a.n.g Lu had done enough to make sure of this. He planned a number of tactics for the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals to take advantage of their numerical superiority in the field.
On the whole, Grand Compet.i.tion was more advantageous to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals and less advantageous to the Earth Immortals. Earth Immortal camp was willing to agree to this compet.i.tion because Bai Ze lost to w.a.n.g Wu in a bet, and he represented the Earth Immortal camp at that time. Later, the two sides jointly concluded a contract, more than one hundred Earth Immortals placed their Immortal Spirit on the Nine Regions Map. Thus, there was no room for regret…
However, Senior Gem Emperor did not wake up at that time and did not put her Immortal Spirit. Therefore, she was not restricted by the contract and was qualified to overthrow the Grand Compet.i.tion.
If it were w.a.n.g Lu himself, he could also fully exploit this point. It was just that it would not necessarily as decisive as that of Senior Gem Emperor—her actions were so fast.
From the perspective of onlookers, w.a.n.g Lu appreciated the means and execution of Senior Gem Emperor. However, now as an opponent… w.a.n.g Lu began to miss Bai Ze and men in black.
After taking a deep breath, w.a.n.g Lu began to face his opponent.
The first step was to avoid direct confrontation.
Senior Gem Emperor’s style of doing things was extremely overbearing, which could be seen from how she treated Bai Ze and Xuan Mo after she had awakened from her long sleep. She was able to unite a large number of Earth Immortals and make them her loyal supporters. However, for Bai Ze and others, it could be seen that her style of doing things was radical.
Now she talked with civility with him, but the unquestioned tone of her voice was barely veiled. Of course, w.a.n.g Lu would not agree to simply end the Grand Compet.i.tion, let alone to let her marry w.a.n.g Wu. However, direct rejection was obviously not a good method.
Therefore, w.a.n.g Lu used the politician’s solution: push the problem down the road.
“… It is not my place to end the Grand Compet.i.tion, nor let w.a.n.g Wu marry you. I’m just the chief planner, not the person in charge.”
Senior Gem Emperor laughed and pressed forward step by step. “But I only ask about your att.i.tude.”
w.a.n.g Lu remained silent for a moment and did not know how to answer. At the same time, he knew that if he continued to be led by Senior Gem Emperor like this, he would never be able to find his rhythm again.
So, then… what should he do?
In fact, there was only one answer. Senior Gem Emperor was a master of rhythm, but was he not?
Who did w.a.n.g Lu fear when he fiercely controlled the rhythm of the Grand Compet.i.tion? Creating miracles out of deadlock was his specialty.
Instantly, w.a.n.g Lu had cleared his mind and then shrugged his shoulders.
“Then forgive me for being blunt, I am against it.”
Senior Gem Emperor was not surprised. “The reason?”
w.a.n.g Lu opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and said earnestly, “w.a.n.g Wu is my wife, she is already taken. Naturally, she could not marry more than one person.”
“…”
The purple sphere in front of w.a.n.g Lu was quiet for a while.
“… Since she is your wife, why did she propose to me some time ago?”
w.a.n.g Lu said, “Because she is a s.l.u.t that has no moral integrity and limit on how low she could stoop down.”
“…” Senior Gem Emperor was once again disturbed by the rhythm of this unconstrained words. From within the purple sphere, Senior Gem Emperor carefully examined w.a.n.g Lu. The eyes of the Earth Immortal easily penetrated all disguises and reached the depth of the soul.
There, she found that w.a.n.g Lu did not lie. At least when he said that, it was from the heart.
What was going on here?
Senior Gem Emperor looked in disbelieve at the opposite side again and again. A s.l.u.t that had no moral integrity and limit on how low she could stoop down? Even if it was a joke, that kind of insult was simply too much. What’s more, if w.a.n.g Wu was really that bad, why would he marry her?
No… This condition had its own problem. They were Master and disciple. How could they marry?
It was true that after generations, the ethics of cultivators were quite different from those of the past. However, a Master and disciple relations.h.i.+p was still very special no matter what.
There were countless surprises in the heart of Senior Gem Emperor, but she quickly suppressed them.
Spending too much thought on these issues was the same as falling into the rhythm of the other side… It didn’t matter what the relations.h.i.+p between w.a.n.g Lu and his Master was. Since w.a.n.g Wu could not be a candidate for marriage, she would simply change it.
Senior Gem Emperor then said, “Since w.a.n.g Wu is out of the question, then why don’t you be my wife?”
w.a.n.g Lu was surprised. “Me? You might not understand, w.a.n.g Wu is my wife. That means I am her husband. So I also could not marry again. Unless you want to be my second wife… But, since childhood, I have bad kidneys 1 . So I’m afraid I could not afford to perform twice in a night.”
Listening to this nonsense, Senior Gem Emperor laughed instead. “Marriage could be dissolved. Since you also think that w.a.n.g Wu is an immortal person, it is better to divorce her as soon as possible. As for your performance problem… I think you think too much. This is a political marriage, so there’s no need to be too intimate in our personal relations.h.i.+ps. How many times a night, that has nothing to do with me.”
w.a.n.g Lu was amazed. She wanted marriage but did not want to be touched. Seemed like she had a pair of giraffe arms.
“… In that case, you might as well look for Daoist He Tu, the number one person in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. He has practiced for nearly a thousand years without ever marrying. With simple and upright personality, he is most suitable to serve an overbearing tyrant like you… Although his look has now been filled with the vicissitudes of life, you wouldn’t care about it anyway.”
w.a.n.g Lu pushed the old man Daoist He Tu, which was deliberately a disgusting move. However, Senior Gem Emperor didn’t mind it one bit and said, “Very well, it’s Daoist He Tu then.”
“… What?”
Senior Gem Emperor said, “Since you proposed Daoist He Tu, then I will marry him. According to what I said earlier, I will end the Grand Compet.i.tion. For a whole month, I will be ready for any challenge in the Immortal One Arena. If I can win all the challenges, you will submit to me according to the contract. At the same time, I will marry Daoist He Tu after that. That’s it.”
“Wait a minute. According to normal logic, you should firmly oppose the marriage with Daoist He Tu. That kind of old man, you still…”
Unfortunately, Senior Gem Emperor no longer paid attention to what w.a.n.g Lu said. The purple sphere flashed and disappeared without a trace, causing w.a.n.g Lu’s voice to stop abruptly.
“d.a.m.n it, just like that? What in the world is happening?”
—
The brief confrontation with Senior Gem Emperor ended in the defeat of w.a.n.g Lu.
This verbal confrontation of defeat was rare for w.a.n.g Lu. However, in retrospect, w.a.n.g Lu sincerely accepted his loss.
The lower limit of Senior Gem Emperor was truly deep and immeasurable. She was even willing to accept an old man like Daoist He Tu. The dignity of the Emperor had been humbled ever since. What else could w.a.n.g Lu say?
Of course, the lower limit was only a joke. From another perspective, Senior Gem Emperor was just showing her consciousness: the consciousness of building alliances.
With her cleverness, would she not know how much damage the marriage do to her? In order to get married, she was not even picky in choosing her partner at all. This was simply like a prost.i.tute.
Yet, Senior Gem Emperor was willing to do it.
Because she wanted to end the farce as soon as possible, build a real alliance, and face the threat of Fallen Immortal together… It had nothing to do with self-interest. For personal gain, she had too many means to use.
After realizing this, w.a.n.g Lu abandoned his intention of continuing to entangle Senior Gem Emperor.
Since even she had done this, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals could not be too small-minded, right?
In a sense, Senior Gem Emperor was a much more difficult opponent than Bai Ze, Xuan Mo, and others. However, after talking with Senior Gem Emperor, w.a.n.g Lu felt that it was good for such a fellow to wake up.
Thinking of this, w.a.n.g Lu sighed and put down his writing brush.
What he needed to do next was to report this matter to Daoist He Tu, but how?
Boss He Tu, congratulations! I just successfully sold you out and found a young girl to be your wife! Please enjoy yourself!
