Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 424: Monsters Attending a Banquet
In the white jade palace, Ao Chun had a look of resentment on his face, and his pitiful eyes made him look even more charming.

Chen Mu's brows furrowed unconsciously, then he pretended to be clueless and chuckled, "What are you talking about, Seventh Princess? When has Chen ever lied to you?"

Seeing him so serious, Ao Chun's previous resentment disappeared, and he liked him even more. He felt that human cultivators were interesting in a unique way.

"Fellow Daoist, you're right. Chun'er is overthinking it... But fellow Daoist also comes from a great sect. Breaking through the Golden Core Realm is so important. Why would you think of breaking through on our deserted island in the East China Sea?"

Chen Mu sighed and said, "It's a long story."

It’s a long story, which I don’t want to tell now…

Ao Chun understood what he meant and snorted softly. She glanced at Jin Yuantong, who was walking not far ahead of them, and suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Chen, after this is over, are you willing to go to Wushan with Chun'er?"

"Ah?" Chen Mu was stunned and looked at Ao Chun in disbelief.

Ao Chun had a shy look on his face, but there was a burning passion in his eyes. He looked at Chen Mu nakedly, his eyes filled with water, as if he wanted to pounce on him the next moment.

"Are all daughters of the Dragon Palace so direct?"

Chen Mu came back to his senses, suppressed his thoughts, and glanced at Jin Yuantong, who was walking in the front row and didn't notice anything. He felt that this son-in-law of the Dragon Palace was not so good after all...

"Seventh Princess, you are joking. You are the wife of Fellow Daoist Jin. How could Chen do such a thing?"

Ao Chun's eyes turned and she continued, "He doesn't know... Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. At most, we can just let him have some fun.

And fellow Daoist, please don't think that Chun'er, being a dragon, is coveting your Yuan Yang. It's because Chun'er really likes you that she said this openly."

Chen Mu sighed in his heart. Seeing her serious expression, he had a question.

Is she the only one who is so bold in her proposal of love, or does the entire demon race not take it seriously?

The former is easy to say, but if it is the latter, then the demon race's ideas are indeed very different from those of the human race...

"Princess, please don't mention it again. Chen doesn't want to."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't be so hasty to refuse. I am the daughter of the Dragon Palace. Having intercourse with me will be of great help to your cultivation..."

Ao Chun was not discouraged and kept on persuading him through voice transmission.

Chen Mu pretended not to hear and quickly caught up with Jin Yuantong.

Even if there are great benefits, he cannot take the risk.

"Seventh Princess, please come this way..."

The armored monster fish led the way, leading the three people to a wide platform in the white jade palace. The runes here were faintly visible and the spiritual energy was overwhelming.

There is a huge door on each of the four sides, east, south, west and north. At this time, they are all open. Looking outside, there are waterfalls, ancient pines and strange rocks, and magical birds flying by from time to time. It looks quite profound.

And above them, there were many maids and strong men coming and going, and they were all human cultivators.

Chen Mu and the other two stepped onto the platform. Before they even sat down at the small table in front of them, several talented demons stood up to greet them.

Of course, the person who came to greet him was not Chen Mu, but the Seventh Princess Ao Chun, whose face was flushed.

"We have met the Seventh Princess and the Prince Consort..."

"Please sit down." Ao Chun looked like a girl from the Dragon Palace at this moment. Her demeanor was extremely dignified, without any of the seductiveness she had just shown in courting love.

Everyone was talking and laughing, nodding as they sat down, and chatting in pairs of two or three.

Chen Mu took a quick look and found that except for him, everyone else here was a demon cultivator who had successfully transformed.

Several of them exuded a demonic aura that practically filled the air, clearly reaching the middle or even late stages of the Golden Core stage. One in particular, sitting alone in the northwest corner, had a full forehead, lion-like eyes, and a tiger-like appearance, exuding an extremely ferocious aura. With his sheer aura, he practically overwhelmed the several talented demons present!
"That's the young master of the Lion and Tiger Ridge in the Western Desert, Da Xi Cheng Tian. He has profound cultivation, just like the princess. Both have reached the realm of Golden Core Perfection, and are only one step away from forming a Nascent Soul..."

Chen Mu's expression changed as he looked at a demon cultivator in a white crane Taoist robe who was approaching.

"My name is Lingxin, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Chen." The demon cultivator smiled slightly and sat down next to Chen Mu. It seemed that he was different from other demon cultivators and was quite close to human cultivators.

"Lingxin, why are you here to join in the fun instead of staying in your own sea area?"

Ao Chun saw the demon cultivator's actions and deliberately teased him.

Ling Xin smiled gently and replied, "The princess is getting married, so of course I have to come and take a look."

Ao Chun hummed, then said with regret, "You are indeed loyal... You have a good bloodline. If you join my second brother's sect..."

Before she could finish her words, Ling Xin interrupted her with a wave of her hand, saying, "The Seventh Princess loves to joke around. Ling Xin knows her own limitations, so she should just follow the eldest princess in her cultivation."

Ao Chun shook his head when he heard this, but he didn't get angry or force her. He seemed quite tolerant of Ling Xin.

Chen Muyu stood aside without saying a word, watching the two of them talk quietly.

Lingxin Demon General, like Master Hengyun, had heard of this demon's name when he was condensing his Qi.

It was said that it was originally an ordinary fish demon, but later awakened its bloodline and became the ancient species of Qianhe Heart-searching Fish. It was gifted and became a disciple of Ao Yi, and also became close to the human race...

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is indeed worthy of its reputation.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lingxin, for clearing up my doubts." Chen Mu nodded and smiled.

Lingxin raised his glass and said, "I've just heard that Fellow Daoist Chen is a cultivator from Beiyuan... Coincidentally, decades ago I once became a disciple of the Beiyuan Sect, where I met a kind teacher and learned a great deal about the human race's scriptures..."

Chen Mu nodded frequently. No wonder this monster was so close to humans. It turned out that it was similar to Ao Yi. Both of them had joined the human sect to practice.

For a while, the two chatted about Beiyuan's affairs, smiling happily, quite naturally.

Not long after, the host Ao Yi led a group of people onto the platform, and many talented monsters immediately stood up to greet them.

"Princess, who is this fellow Taoist? Why does he look so unfamiliar?" A rather ugly-looking demon cultivator laughed first.

After Ao Yi led everyone to their seats, he looked at the three monks in black and white Taoist robes beside him and introduced them, "They are my fellow disciples from the Taoist Palace. They came here to watch the ceremony."

As soon as these words were spoken, the demons looked at the three people with a softened gaze. As long as they were not competing with them, they would just watch the ceremony.

After all, among the three, there was a cultivator wearing a jade crown on his head, and there was clear air surrounding his body, which was a sign that he was about to form a baby!
Having gotten rid of such a powerful enemy, the monsters naturally felt relieved.

Looking at the demon cultivators around him who were often in the middle and late stages, Chen Mu was speechless.

Even in this situation, Ao Chun was still worried that he would win in the end and win the beauty.

This shows too much confidence in him...

He had just entered the Golden Core realm. Not to mention Da Xi Chengtian who had reached the Perfect Golden Core, even the ugly cultivator who had just asked the question not far away was one step ahead of him.

"Just pretend, and then get away with the Canglan Imperial Order..."

Chen Mu felt reassured and his expression became more peaceful.

Such courage really made Ling Xin look up to him. She thought Chen Mu was not afraid of the challenge, but she didn't know that Chen Mu was not prepared to participate in the fight...
