Chapter 107: The Black Tai Sui

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Help, hel… hel…”

Hui Zhen desperately called for help as he was dragged into the vat, his body gradually submerged. His cries for help turned into muffled, desperate sounds, like a broken bellows, struggling to make noise.

In the room, the fallen oil lamp flickered before finally going out.

Inside the flying treasure carriage, Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu were sitting opposite each other, sipping tea.

Several days had passed since they left the Demon Emperor’s Secret Realm.

The bloodline from Gu Yuan had been extracted and merged into his sister Gu Li’s body.

The restrictions set by the Demon Emperor could not stop Lu Xuan, and with the unification of nine bloodlines, Gu Li became the true “Emperor’s Child.” During the process, Lu Xuan also examined Gu Li’s condition.

Her nine bloodlines were unique, and according to the siblings, their nine mothers came from renowned bloodline tribes of that era.

Gu Yuan’s maternal lineage was the strongest, hence it became the main bloodline, while the Demon Emperor’s own bloodline acted as a sort of “glue.” It felt a bit like the competition in an emperor’s harem.

Without an empress, the other consorts would fight for the position, and the emperor needed to mediate and maintain balance.

However, even after these nine bloodlines achieved balance, they were still distinct from each other.

With Lu Xuan’s knowledge in bloodline arts, he felt something crucial was missing despite the strength of the combined bloodlines.

Gu Li and her brother shared the Demon Emperor’s deeds with Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan sensed that the Demon Emperor’s goal might have been to fully merge the bloodlines in the nine children, aiming for some kind of qualitative change, but unfortunately, it wasn’t successful.

He pondered what could have caused such a drastic change in the Demon Emperor’s personality later in life.

Later, using her own bloodline as a guide, Gu Li opened the imperial city enveloped by the Demon Emperor’s Secret Realm.

They encountered an ancient demon immortal army in slumber and saw the Demon Emperor’s imperial coffin.

Lu Xuan, naturally, didn’t take anything left for the descendants, but he copied the “Ancient Emperor’s Scripture” and the Demon Emperor’s research notes on bloodlines found in the tomb.

Additionally, a perennially youthful flower in the imperial city was plucked by Gu Li and given to Cheng Lingzhu.

“Planted a spy in the Immortal Tomb organization, killed a long-fleeing demon giant, broke the ice between the Dao Evolution Sect and the Sky Demon

Sect, dealt with an impolite ancient demon…”

Lu Xuan was satisfied with his recent accomplishments.

The death of the Blood Sea Ancestor deterred the Immortal Tomb organization, preventing them from taking action for a while.

Any plans of the Immortal Tomb organization would be reported to him by Nangong Xuan.

Killing the Demon Emperor’s eldest son, Gu Yuan, nipped a potential danger in the bud.

Gu Yuan was mentally twisted and controlling the immortal army in the imperial city could have led to disaster.

The matter of the Dao Evolution Sect and the Sky Demon Sect establishing relations was left to Qing Yangzi and others.

After handling so many major affairs, Lu Xuan decided to take a break.

Tian Chong Temple was a major Buddhist sect, a peaceful and quiet place where everyone revered Buddhism.

“The vegetarian feast of Tian Chong Temple is famous throughout the cultivation world.”

Inside the carriage, Lu Xuan poured tea.

“Even the Immortal Chef Sect once sent elders to Tian Chong Temple to learn vegetarian cooking. Every Buddha’s birthday, many cultivators visit just for the feast.

“Hmm… Have you eaten there before?”

Cheng Lingzhu leaned on her hand, looking at him, blinking.

Dressed casually in the carriage without others around, she wore a loose shirt, buttoned haphazardly, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, exuding a lazy charm.

“I haven’t, actually.”

Lu Xuan took a sip from his cup:

“Compared to other sects around, Tian Chong Temple emerged quite late. Tian Chong Buddha rose about seven thousand years ago and entered nirvana two thousand years ago… he could be considered my junior.”

“As for not eating there…”

Lu Xuan reached out towards Cheng Lingzhu’s chest…

And buttoned up her shirt.

“I rarely leave the mountain, maybe once in a few hundred years. Without company, it feels a bit lonely to go there.”

Satisfied with the neatly buttoned shirt, Lu Xuan nodded.

For him, tombs could be explored alone, but meals were best enjoyed with

company.

“Moreover.”

Lu Xuan paused, then spoke earnestly:

“Monks and nuns in temples often deceive people. If I go alone to eat vegetarian food, seeing my handsome appearance, they might try to trick me into becoming a monk.”

“Don’t be shameless.’

Cheng Lingzhu lightly huffed hearing his words.

She straightened her chest.

The shirt was loose, but Cheng Lingzhu’s figure was excellent.

After buttoning all the buttons, what was originally a loose front became tight. “Am I not telling the truth?”

Lu Xuan asked in genuine confusion.

Cheng Lingzhu stared at his face for a while, then thought:

“Alright, it’s the truth.”

She reached out, cupping Lu Xuan’s face, “If you weren’t so good-looking, I wouldn’t have fallen into your trap so easily.”

Lu Xuan replied righteously, “What trap? I was devoted to my path, my heart pure and untainted.”

Cheng Lingzhu looked at him, blinked, and said, “Are you saying it was me who had ulterior motives first?”

Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.

“Can’t say there weren’t any?”

“Who confessed to whom first?”

“It was… To take care of you. With your temperament back then, you would have remained single all your life if I hadn’t taken the initiative.”

“That’s your excuse to your master?”

“Indulging in feminine charm is my pleasure! ”

“There, you admitted it.”

Cheng Lingzhu’s lips curled slightly, “Hmm… so did I.” She held Lu Xuan’s face and kissed him deeply.

“Affection” isn’t about who starts or ends it.

As for indulging or not…

Of course, she was indulged in Lu Xuan’s charm.

Who else would she crave if not her own husband?

Cheng Lingzhu proudly thought..
