I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Tea and dance music, pears falling like snow.

Recalling the past, the emotions started from Kunlun Mountains and last till now.

Donghua was infatuated, not for the peony, but for the past. When the dance ended, he came back to his senses, and suddenly a myriad of sorrows arose in his heart. The more he drank, the more bitter it became. He didn't know whether it was the wine that had changed, or his heart.

"Sir, how's my dancing?"

In front of the thatched cottage, Bai Mudan walked lightly, bringing a scent with her, back to the banquet, and asked with anticipation on her face.

Watching this scene, Donghua felt that the wine in his mouth was a little sour again. He immediately understood that it was the heart that was bitter and the heart that was sour.

Qin Yao laughed: "I am a rough man, I don't understand music and dance, I can only say two words, beautiful."

Bai Mudan's face blossomed with joy, and she smiled and said, "These two words are enough."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Qin Yao turned to look at Donghua and asked politely.

Donghua suddenly felt an urge in his heart, and wanted to ask for Bai Mudan right away, but the words came to his throat and were finally sealed between his lips.

The dignified Emperor Donghua asked for someone else's maid at a banquet. If this news spread, I would be too ashamed to face anyone.

After all, other people cannot know what is going on with him. They will only think that he has been lonely for many years and has developed worldly desires...

"It's really good, rare in the world."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Mudan bowed to express her gratitude.

"It's almost time, we should go back." Qin Yao knew the essence of fishing well and stood up suddenly.

Donghua took a deep breath and stood up: "I'll see you off."

"You're too kind."

Qin Yao was all smiles as he led two maids from the wine table to an open space. Clouds flew under his feet as he waved goodbye:

"If the Emperor has time in the future, you can come to Tianhe Water Palace to find me at any time. I have a lot of precious wine hidden in my water palace. I don't want to drink it myself, but it's just right for you to use it to entertain me."

Donghua: "..."

Not long after.

Watching the master and two servants fly away, Donghua suddenly felt empty and lost.

He had no concept of emotional calamity in his mind, let alone take precautions. He unconsciously allowed the feeling to spread rapidly and penetrate his body and soul.

Just a few days later.

Donghua suddenly found himself confused.

The specific manifestation was that he felt a little lonely, and no matter what he did, he could not smooth out the ripples in his heart.

In response, he tried to suppress and fight back with his willpower.

But the scary thing is, the harder he suppresses, the more he cares, and the more he cares, the bigger the ripples in the lake of his heart.

Finally, he gave up the suppression and after much hesitation, he called Huang Tianlu, who was in charge of the 200,000 Taishan troops, and told him that he was leaving for a while and asked him to guard the border defense line and not allow the Shushan sword cultivators to be released into other continents.

Huang Tianlu agreed without hesitation, obviously having enough confidence in the Taishan army and himself.

He even hoped that after Emperor Donghua left, the Shushan sword cultivators would attack on a large scale. In this way, he could prove his ability with his military exploits, and in the eyes of the world, he would go from being the son of Huang Feihu to General Huang Tianlu!
However, seeing his confident look, Donghua was worried. He took out a stick of incense and handed it to him:

"Young General, this is a matter of great importance to the safety of the three realms, and there can be no room for error. Therefore, if there is anything wrong, please light this incense immediately, and I will rush back as soon as possible."

Huang Tianlu unconsciously became serious, took the incense with both hands, and said sincerely: "I will obey the emperor's order!"

half an hour.

Donghua rode on the wind and went straight to the Milky Way in the fairyland. He humbly told the garrison that he wanted to see the commander-in-chief of the navy.

In a blink of an eye, Qin Yao, who received the report from the sailor, was stunned. He did not expect that the other party would come so quickly.

He thought that waiting for three to five days was normal, but Donghua caught up with him just as he returned.

Of course, the key is the time difference between the two worlds. He felt that only a short time had passed, but in the lower world, many days had passed...

"Captain, where are your two maids?" Donghua couldn't help but ask after being personally welcomed into the living room by Qin Yao.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "They are practicing martial arts and will come out at dusk at the latest...Is the Emperor here to look for them?"

Donghua paused for a moment, then chuckled, "To be honest, ever since I separated from you that day, I suddenly sensed the destiny of heaven and figured out that they and I have a master-disciple relationship."

Qin Yao: "..."

What the hell are you sensing?
During the great catastrophe, even saints cannot peek into the secrets of heaven, so how can you sense the will of heaven and destiny?

"Captain, don't misunderstand me. I don't want to steal your maid." Seeing that he remained silent, Donghua misunderstood and said something that made the matter even more obvious.

Qin Yao laughed in silence, then waved his hands and said, "I didn't misunderstand, I was just a little shocked. Ordinary fairies don't even have the blessing of talking to the emperor, but my two maids are both your master and disciple. What a great fortune!"

Donghua: "..."

I should have just said one.

But the problem is, if we just say White Peony, the intention would be too obvious.

……

A moment in the fairyland is equivalent to several days in the human world.

With Donghua leaving, Qin Yao controlled the Qingwei incarnation to carry out a "secret attack" and sent the Shushan sword cultivators out of the border of Nanzhanbuzhou in batches and small doses and transferred them to Beijuluzhou across the sea.

As the border line is too long, the 200,000 Taishan soldiers must connect their spiritual thoughts to each other in order to thoroughly monitor the entire continental border. But after Emperor Donghua left, all the soldiers, from the commander-in-chief to the soldiers, became lax, and patrols gradually replaced spiritual control.

They were relaxed, but their defense became like a sieve, so that Qin Yao's actions gradually changed from micro-management to open and aboveboard arrangements. Not only could they go north continuously, but they could even return south.

One after another, Shushan branches were established in Beijuluzhou, and they started rounds of confrontations with the local immortal forces...

Because everything went smoothly, Qin Yao's mood also brightened. Therefore, after hearing that Chai Daohuang had suffered the full punishment of the eighteen levels of hell, he ordered to kill him quickly, completely ending their years of grievances!
As his smoke disappeared, Qin Yao's heart also completed the transition from the old era to the new era. The struggle for hegemony between heaven and earth and the return of the Eight Immortals officially became two carriages running side by side, carrying his will towards a brand new future.

at the same time.

Lihentian, Tushita Palace, in front of the purple gold elixir furnace.

Laozi, the Supreme Saint and the Good Corpse, suddenly opened his eyes, quickly raised his right hand and made some calculations, only to find that the destiny was chaotic and could not be deduced, just like the state in the Conferred God Era.

"How could this happen? This shouldn't happen!" Laojun suddenly clenched his fists and took a breath of cold air.

Under normal circumstances, a kalpa would last at least several eons. One eon is 129,600 years, and after several eons, it would be hundreds of thousands of years.

Who would have thought that only a thousand years had passed and a new disaster was about to occur?

Could it be that, in the will of Heaven, the effect of the Conferred God Tribulation did not meet expectations, so a supplementary tribulation was carried out?
However, compared to the last calamity which had a clear beginning, this time he didn’t even know what form the calamity would take.

This kind of unknown made him very uncomfortable. After all, in an era when all saints were in hiding, he was the Taoist master of the Three Realms. How could he be kept in the dark about things that happened in the Three Realms that could affect the Taoist tradition?
After a long silence, Laojun suddenly stood up, strode out of the Tushita Palace, and stood in front of the sea of ​​clouds. Just like the Taoist Hongjun for countless years, he used his magic power to transmit his voice to the three realms:
"I am the Supreme Lord Lao of Tushita Palace. I intend to open the gates of Tushita Palace after half a month on earth and hold a seven-day wonderful Dharma Fairy Meeting.
It may be possible to recruit disciples at the Immortal Conference to strengthen our Taoist lineage. Within half a month, all the immortals who can come to Lihentian and Tushita Palace can attend the conference..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three realms shook, and immediately rays of divine light or divine rainbows rose into the sky and rushed towards the direction of Lihentian.

Underworld.

Inside the White Tiger Hall.

Qin Yao's face was slightly stunned, and all the incarnations were also stunned.

Laojun suddenly sent a message to the three realms, saying that he would hold a magical meeting. What does this mean?
After a while, he gradually came back to his senses and silently gave the answer in his mind:
This supreme sage must have sensed the coming of a new calamity and wanted to use the immortal meeting to spy on the form of the calamity.

Considering the original plot of "Journey to the East", this approach is not only useful but also beneficial.

If nothing unexpected happens, Taoist Li Xuanli, who has not yet become Li Tieguai, will definitely appear in Lihentian, and even become Laojun's disciple in one step, thus marking the beginning of the Eight Immortals' return to their positions.

However, Li Xuan does not have the destiny of being the "Guide of the Eight Immortals". The person who possesses this destiny is Lu Dongbin, not even the current Emperor Donghua. This means that the prelude has been opened, but the process is difficult to advance.

Perhaps, I should go and help him. I wonder if the combined strength of myself and Li Xuan can push the overall situation forward in the absence of Lu Dongbin...

After thinking about this, Qin Yao let out a long breath, and his body instantly flew out of the White Tiger Hall and headed straight for the Six Paths of Reincarnation Palace.

No matter what, Laojun's preaching is a blessing in itself, and this kind of benefit naturally requires bringing his sister along...

skyline.

Tianhe Water Palace.

The great voice of Laojun conveyed from the three realms instantly awakened the sisters who were practicing. The two sisters stood up at the same time and went to the reception room of the water palace hand in hand. They saw two immortals sitting opposite each other on the tea table. One of the guests was the Emperor Donghua whom they had just met...

"Greetings, young master. Greetings, the Emperor." After being stunned for a moment, the two sisters hurriedly saluted.

"You came just in time."

Qin Yao controlled the fox clone and smiled slightly, saying mysteriously: "I have good news for you two sisters. Your chance has come."

The sisters looked at each other as if they had telepathy, and Bai Mudan asked first, "Are you talking about the Miaofa Immortal Meeting, young master?"

Qin Yao waved his hand: "No, that was an accident... The opportunity I mentioned is just around the corner."

Close at hand?

Hearing this, the two sisters looked at Emperor Donghua almost at the same time, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Donghua stood up slowly and asked in a gentle voice, "I have calculated that you two have a master-disciple relationship with me. Are you willing to take me as your master and practice with me?"

The two girls: “…”

For them, this opportunity was like a bolt from the blue, shattering their thoughts in an instant.

Who is this person in front of me?
The ancient immortal, Emperor Donghua!
In that long-gone barbaric era, he was a noble being who could compete with the Jade Emperor for the position of ruler of the three realms.

How did these two humble fairies born in a garden of flowers become each other's master and disciple?

Looking at the two girls in a daze, Qin Yao smiled and said, "Wake up, wake up quickly..."

At his call, the two women suddenly woke up as if from a dream, but contrary to his expectation, they did not bow down to him, but instead looked conflicted.

Donghua couldn't figure out what they were struggling with, so he asked in confusion: "Do you have any concerns?"

Lan Xinghua pursed her lips and said softly, "May I ask the Emperor, if we accept you as our master, do we have to follow you to practice in the future?"

Donghua nodded slightly: "Of course, but after you leave, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."

Bai Mudan asked: "When can I start my apprenticeship?"

Donghua: "..."

There's no fixed time for something like going out on a mission.

But this silence became the answer in the eyes of the two women, and Lan Xinghua said again:
“I am very grateful for the emperor’s appreciation, and I am also grateful that I have the fate of being your master and disciple, but I am not very ambitious, and I have never even thought about how high I want to climb.

Since the day that Master resolutely chose to take me out of the Hundred Flowers Garden, I have been determined to serve him for the rest of my life, so I am sorry that I cannot follow you to practice."

Hearing this, Qin Yao inexplicably thought of the purple rose in the Hundred Flowers Garden...

If I had let her replace Blue Star Flower due to a momentary thought, out of her burning desire to improve herself, she would perhaps kneel down happily and become my disciple right now?

Compared with him, Emperor Donghua's emotions were much more complicated.

He didn't expect that the Blue Star Flower Fairy actually valued feelings so much. Between the identity of the Emperor's disciple and the identity of a maid, she would so decisively choose the latter.

"me too."

What surprised him even more was that Bai Mudan immediately rejected the opportunity and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. If it weren't for you, I would still be tortured in the Peony Garden and would not be able to get freedom, let alone meet you, Your Majesty. Because of this, my conscience does not allow me to betray you, I hope you can forgive me."

Qin Yao: "..."

Something seems to be wrong...

For a moment, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"The chief steward is truly the envy of others for having two such loyal maids." Donghua let out a breath with an inexplicable emotion, his smile extremely forced.

Qin Yao smiled along, feeling very complicated.

After a moment of silence, he asked tentatively, "How about you first establish the master-disciple relationship, and the Emperor simply teaches them some immortal techniques, and they become registered disciples?"

Donghua waved his hand and said, "I choose the straight path, not the crooked one. Since they are determined to be your maids, it means that we are just not destined to be together. There is no need to force it..."

He couldn't compromise on this matter.

No matter what, he is still the emperor.

How could the two women become his disciples in name only if they did not break away from slavery? (End of this chapter)
