The end of this quasi-emperor peak is coming

Chapter 212: Wu Shi: That year, I was the Saint of Yao Chi
The sacred place of Yaochi, where the Queen Mother of the West resides.

"What? You want me to dress up as a woman and serve as the first generation saint of the Yao Chi Holy Land? I won't go!" Wu Shi's face was as black as ink, as if he had just come out of a coal mine.

"You are the biological son of the Holy Lord, and we have watched you grow up. Apart from you, we can't think of anyone else more suitable to be the Holy Maiden. Just listen to Aunt Yuan, put on this women's clothing, and take over the position of the Holy Maiden!" The old quasi-emperor who was the first to agree in the hall, leaned on his old cane and handed a white women's dress to Wu Shi.

Wu Shi still firmly objected, "Aunt Yuan, it's not that I disagree, but your approach is too absurd! I am a girl, and it is my duty to be a saint, but I am a man! How can you come up with such a deceptive idea?"

Aunt Yuan said in a dissatisfied tone: "What's wrong with being a man? Can't a man help your mother and us old guys share some of the responsibilities?"

“This is not a matter of sharing or not, this concerns my future reputation… I’m an eight-foot tall man, and you ask me to dress up as a woman. I can’t accept it!” Wu Shi wailed in his heart. He had never dressed up as a woman in his previous life, let alone been the so-called first-generation saint of Yao Chi.

Aunt Yuan put the white dress beside her, leaned on her cane and said nothing, just staring at him deeply, and finally said very sadly: "I understand, your future reputation is much more important than those of us old guys who are half buried in the ground. It is us who are asking too much. Aunt Yuan will not force you, go back and think of a solution!
Before his death, your father entrusted you and your son to me. Your mother was extremely sad because several of her disciples, whom she once treated as her own children, died in battle. She had no intention of taking in another disciple. I can understand that.

You have grown up and have your own ideas. If you don't listen to Aunt Yuan, I won't have the face to see your father if I can't think of a solution. I am half buried in the ground and have no children in my life. I regard your father and mother as my own children...

Oh, forget it, I am old, everything I say is annoying, what is the point of living, I am gone. "

Wu Shi: “…”

"Aunt Yuan...can't I do it?"

Aunt Yuan, who stood up dejectedly and walked away tremblingly with a cane, stopped in front of Wu Shi.

She turned around and took out a bunch of female cultivators' clothing from her secret stash, all of which were mainly white dresses from the Yaochi Holy Land. "Wu Shi is really good, come and see which one looks good and which one you want to wear? When Aunt Yuan was young, she often dressed up as a woman for your father. Now you are the son who is following in your father's footsteps. I wonder if Aunt Yuan's skills have become rusty!"

Wu Shi looked at the crutch that Aunt Yuan had thrown to the ground in disdain because it was in the way, and then looked at Aunt Yuan who was carefully selecting her dress. She no longer looked as old and frail as before.

Oh my God, please open your eyes and look!
Is this still my Aunt Yuan who has loved me since I was a child?
Wu Shi was about to cry, and was forced to accept this reality helplessly.

Father... I only heard your legend from my mother before, but I never thought that one day I would be able to inherit it!

Soon, under Aunt Yuan's careful dressing, an eight-foot-tall man disappeared, and a female cultivator in white clothes appeared again. She was less masculine than before and more feminine, but because Wu Shi was originally a man, she looked as if she was as good as any man.

"What a beautiful woman, but unfortunately she is not a man!" Aunt Yuan exclaimed, seeming to be extremely satisfied with her masterpiece and completely integrated into Wu Shi's current role.

Aunt Yuan considerately took out the bronze mirror and allowed Wu Shi to re-recognize himself in his present state.

Wu Shi looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror with great grief and indignation. She was indeed the biological daughter of Queen Mother West. When she dressed up, she was an unparalleled beauty, not inferior to anyone else.

Looking at the woman with long hair in the bronze mirror, Wu Shi couldn't help but shed tears of humiliation.

Men don't shed tears easily, but only when they are sad...

woo woo woo...

I'm afraid that my reputation will be tarnished in the future...

"Aunt Yuan, let's keep this a secret for now. Just say that I'm the genius you found outside, and don't ever say that I'm my mother's biological son!" Wu Shi forced a smile and said to Aunt Yuan. At this point, we can only make up for the loss, and hope that not many people know about this.

Aunt Yuan looked a little unnatural when she heard this and silently picked up the cane.

Wu Shi's forced smile gradually froze: "..."

Aunt Yuan hesitated and said, "Actually..."

Wu Shi felt something was very wrong: "Aunt Yuan, please don't say anything. Let me guess first."

"A lot of people have known about this for a long time, right?"

Aunt Yuan nodded.

"This proposal was made in the Great Hall. Mother was present at the time and agreed to the idea, right?"

Aunt Yuan nodded again.

After thinking for a while, Wu Shi took a deep breath and made a guess: "This idea was proposed by Uncle Li, right?"

Aunt Yuan could only nod.

Wu Shi said angrily, "Damn it, didn't I just put some of my mother's special Ecstasy Powder in his teapot, causing him to lose his soul for half a month? Is it necessary to hold a grudge like this?"

Aunt Yuan added, "He was in a state of disarray for half a month, but have you ever seen an emperor running around shirtless in a holy place? The key is that no one could stop him. Even your mother couldn't get close to him at that time..."

Wu Shi: “…”

"Then I don't care. Who asked him to stay in the sacred land of Yao Chi and do something bad to my mother?" Wu Shi made an excuse stubbornly.

-

On the other side, a group of elders from the Yao Chi Holy Land had been waiting outside for news for a long time.

Queen Mother Xi made a reassuring expression to everyone, "Don't worry, Aunt Yuan had a way to deal with his father back then, and now it will be easy to deal with his son!

And her dressing skills are amazing, even I am ashamed of myself. I promise to surprise you in a moment, and you won’t be able to tell whether the person inside is still Wu Shi or not. "

An elder from the Yaochi who was familiar with Aunt Yuan agreed, "Of course. How could we not trust Elder Yuan? Her dressing skills are the best among all of us!"

Not long after, Queen Mother Xi quickly received Aunt Yuan's message and immediately greeted everyone, "Aunt Yuan has already convinced the other party. We should be able to meet the first 'Saint' of our Yaochi Holy Land if we go now!"

"Haha, then I must see how elegant and graceful our Yao Chi's first-generation Saint is. Is she a peerless figure who is not inferior to the Saint Lord?"

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

Everyone smiled at each other and stepped into the residence of Queen Mother West with meaningful expressions.

After a while, everyone arrived at Wu Shi's residence. As soon as they approached, they heard a dissatisfied voice coming from inside the house:

"Then I don't care. Who allowed him to stay in Yao Chi Holy Land and plot against my mother?"

The smile on Queen Mother Xi's face froze, and the hand she stretched out to push the door froze in mid-air.

Everyone: "..."

Everyone's eyes fell on a tall and mighty man at the back, with a plain face and bronze skin.

Honest man Li Chui: “?”

The scene was deadlocked and the atmosphere was frozen. No one expected to hear such a shocking sentence.

Although there have been such rumors in the past, no one dared to reveal them. After all, it concerns the reputation of the two emperors and no one can talk nonsense.

They had no right to discuss whether it was true or not, at most they could just feel relieved in their hearts. Everyone was not blind, so they could see what the Great Emperor Shen Guang did in Yaochi.

There are so many places to go in the world, why do you have to stay in this Yaochi where there is a lot of trouble? This place is a holy place for female cultivators. If a man lives here for a long time, it will naturally cause some gossip.

Wu Shi was fine, as only some high-ranking cultivators knew his true identity. The other cultivators in the Holy Land of Yao Chi only knew that the Queen Mother of the West was suspected to have a biological child, but they didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl.

But it was different for Emperor Shen Guang, as a great emperor, he not only stayed here and lived under someone else's roof, but he also took good care of Wu Shi, helping him to build his physical foundation and often helping him to comprehend the great way of heaven and earth. How could he enjoy such selfless behavior if he was not related by blood?
But the problem is, Wu Shi has nothing to do with Emperor Shen Guang! They are not even remotely related.

In the past, a high-ranking official in the Yao Chi Holy Land had thought that Emperor Shen Guang might be interested in Queen Mother Xi. After all, the two of them were both the most powerful beings in the world, so it was understandable that they could catch each other's eyes.

Wu Shi's father passed away almost a hundred years ago. It took Queen Mother West almost eighty years to give birth to Wu Shi. When Wu Shi was born, Queen Mother West was in an extremely weak period. It was Emperor Shen Guang who came forward and went deep into the forbidden zone of life alone, preventing the supreme beings from finding a suitable opportunity to escape.

In a sense, without Emperor Shen Guang, there might be no Wu Shi today.

People don’t know that, in fact, Queen Mother West had already made sufficient preparations and arrangements at that time, and she would have been able to get through the disaster safely with or without assistance. Even without Emperor Shenguan, mother and child would still be safe.

But precisely because of this, Queen Mother of the West never told them this secret, and the elders of the Holy Land of Yao Chi believed that without the Great Emperor Shen Guang there would be no Wu Shi today.

"squeak--"

Countless thoughts flashed through everyone's minds in an instant, but they were all cleared the moment the door opened.

Aunt Yuan: "..."

Wu Shi: “?!!”

"Are you kidding me? This must be fake. I'm dreaming!"

-

"Have you heard? Emperor Shen Guang has a crush on Queen Mother Xi. Our Saint said it herself!"

"I heard about it. My master was at the scene at the time and heard the news with his own ears!"

"Alas, should I say it or not, the Saint knows more. Ordinary people cannot discover this information. Only the Saint can find out the problem from the clues!"

"Speaking of the Saint, I heard that the Saint is not a man?"

"How is it possible! I have seen the Saint with my own eyes. I am so fascinated by her beauty that is as good as any man! The Saint's beauty is no worse than that of a man, it's just rumored that she is a man."

A group of Yao Chi female cultivators dressed in white gathered together, talking in low voices and sharing the latest news.

One of the beautiful women raised her doubts: "Do you think it is possible for the Emperor Shen Guang to become a Taoist couple with our Holy Lord in the future?"

Another woman said, "It depends on the Saint. It is said that the Saint is very opposed to her mother being with the Emperor Shen Guang!"

While the female cultivators were talking, a cold and handsome woman came over.

All the female practitioners shut up and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"If I hear such remarks again, I will punish you severely!"

"Yes, Saint!"

The handsome woman did not stop, but just glanced at him coldly, gave him a warning, and then continued walking forward.

After the handsome lady left the place for a long time, the female cultivators raised their heads and gasped, "The Saint Lady is so terrifying. I can feel the terrifying oppression just by standing there!"

"Stop talking, I'm still having palpitations!" Another woman covered her chest, terrified.

Such news was flying all over the Yao Chi Holy Land, but was eventually stopped by the order of the Saint.

However, this also further confirms the truth of the rumors. Otherwise, how could some rumors cause the Saint to show up in person to take care of them?

At first, no one took this matter seriously, but from time to time someone would inadvertently talk about it, and it eventually reached the ears of the saint, who finally issued strict orders and punished them severely.

No one is an exception, be it a disciple or an elder of the Yao Chi Holy Land.

Everyone then realized that the Saint was very serious about this matter, and many rumors gradually disappeared. The relationship between Emperor Shen Guang and Queen Mother Xi gradually became a taboo, and no one dared to discuss it anymore.

Wu Shi returned to his mother's residence and hesitated for a long time outside, not daring to step in.

After the last rumor spread from his mouth, his mother hasn't seen him for almost half a year. The only time they met was at the Holy Maiden Ceremony in the Holy Land of Yao Chi.

After hearing these rumors, Uncle Li did not appear in the Holy Land of Yao Chi for a long time. Wu Shi felt that no matter how stupid Uncle Li was in this regard, he would know how to avoid suspicion after hearing those rumors.

Wu Shi guessed that Uncle Li might have left the sacred land of Yao Chi and his whereabouts were unknown.

"come in."

As he was hesitating, a cold voice came from inside.

Wu Shi took a deep breath, forced a smile, and stepped in.

"Mom! How are you these days?"

Queen Mother Xi didn't smile at all, she just looked at him straight in the face: "Thanks to you, I am safe now! Your Aunt Yuan and the others would ask about my situation from time to time."

Wu Shi immediately felt guilty. God had no idea that while he was trying to find excuses, his mother and a group of elders were waiting outside and happened to hear everything he said.

"Don't worry, mother. I have already handled this matter properly. There won't be such rumors in the Holy Land of Yao Chi!" Wu Shi straightened his chest and said immediately.

Queen Mother Xi did not smile at all and continued with a straight face, "That would be best!"

"I plan to go to Shangcang in a while. You will be in charge of all the affairs in the holy land. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, go and ask Aunt Yuan. Do you understand?" Queen Mother Xi suddenly said.

Wu Shi was puzzled. It had not been long since the last dark turmoil was quelled. Could it be that the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone was going to stir up a dark turmoil again?
"I have calculated that your father's body is in heaven, and we have to bring it back." Queen Mother Xi explained.

Wu Shi's face turned serious after hearing this, and he warned her earnestly, "Mother, you have to be careful! I think it's a bit dangerous for you to go deep into the restricted area alone. Maybe you can call Uncle Li!"

Although his mother came back safely in his previous life, Wu Shi couldn't help but feel worried when he heard that his mother was going to go deep into the restricted area alone again.

"Fellow Daoist Xi Huangmu has already told me that you don't need to worry!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind and Wu Shi turned around quickly.

"Uncle Li? When did you come back?"

"No, how come you are in my mother's residence?" Wu Shi Emperor stared, his eyes fixed on the burly man lying on the chair. Next to him was an antique wooden table, on which was a pot of fragrant spiritual tea, made from the leaves of the Wu Dao tea tree!
The most important thing is, there are two cups and another empty chair!
