Mountain and River Festival

Chapter 543 Rebellion against Tiangang
Jiang Yuan, who was standing guard outside the door, was happily counting the things he had just taken from the treasure vault of Chunshan Pavilion.

The gains this time were far greater than those at the Ice Prison Sect. The Ice Prison Sect mostly contained ice-related items, as if they were tailor-made for Dugu Qingli. This place was different; wood-related items were the most abundant, and many materials and treasures were very suitable for her, aiding her cultivation and replenishing many worn-out mechanical wooden figures.

There are also some good items that can be used to upgrade the Great Mechanical Man. Recently, the Great Mechanical Man seems a bit dull in battle, not as clever as its master.

Zang Wanchun wanted to swindle 100,000 spirit stones from her to redeem Qianqian, but Jiang Yuan took 100,000 directly from the warehouse without saying a word. The entire Spring Mountain Pavilion warehouse only had 300,000 high-grade spirit stones, and Jiang Yuan's 100,000 took one-third of that. I don't know where they got the confidence to sell a courtesan for 100,000.

Jiang Yuan got angry just thinking about it, so she took the lucky cat that was placed at the entrance of the treasure vault.

Including the storage ring he took from Zang Wanchun, there were even more good things inside.

Now I'm a rich woman, let's see who dares to call me a beggar now. Jiang Yuanqing was beaming with joy as she looked at the Radiant Sun-level magic weapon in her ring.

Zang Wanchun is really funny. He still had so many trump cards up his sleeve, yet he was tricked and killed.

He even plotted to kill the "unknown demonic men and women" and tried to trick "Donghai Penglai" onto his pirate ship. This is what you call reaping what you sow.

Just as he was laughing foolishly, strange noises came from inside the house.

Jiang Yuan's smile froze on her face, she stopped counting the items, and perked up her ears.

Why is the sound inside starting to sound off?

I was there to protect you during your treatment, how did I end up being your lookout...?

Lu Xingzhou originally asked Jiang Yuan to help guard the area, and that was really to protect the patient during treatment, for fear that something might go wrong.

But the little white-haired boy's direct advances were too tempting, and Lu Xingzhou completely forgot that Jiang Yuan was at the door.

Why does it have to be for healing, for spiritual practice, for breaking free from demonic possession, for breaking free from seductive spells...? Why can't it just be for simple pleasure?

Lu Xingzhou was too lazy to think about anything else, so he gently embraced Dugu Qingli and kissed her.

Dugu Qingli remained expressionless, her red eyes wide open, as if she were experiencing it intently.

In her red-eyed state, she had never experienced a man's tenderness. Lu Xingzhou had kissed her before in order to turn her eyes back to blue... Only this time did she not think that way.

But she has both red and blue eyes.

Even at the most infuriating moments, it's when he's with other women that I'm angry.

This feeling will not change because of demonization.

The girl, whose demonic power was capable of killing and massacring entire cities, was now as boneless as she fell with the man's force, slowly closing her eyes.

The blue and white swordsman's attire was removed, gradually revealing a body as white as jade.

Her body was icy cold, which felt extremely comfortable to the man. As the man became more skilled, her icy demonic intent began to fade, and the demonic transformation that had previously clashed with the icy demon gained the upper hand, causing her body to turn from icy cold to burning hot.

It's hotter than the average person.

Her lips, which had been pale from vomiting blood due to the conflict of demonic energy within her body, gradually turned rosy and slightly parted, making her incredibly alluring.

Lu Xingzhou also realized that there was no need to be curious about the color of her fur in other places, because there wasn't any.

"I feel unwell..." Under his skillful manipulation, the girl twisted slightly and murmured softly.

Lu Xingzhou kissed her snow-white neck and whispered, "It'll be over soon..."

The girl let out a muffled groan and grabbed his shoulders with both hands.

At this moment, Dugu Qingli lost her mind again, and the demonic transformation she had undergone at the bottom of the sea took over again, causing the sea of ​​desire to surge and break its banks.

Lu Xingzhou then realized that his previous idea was not scientific. The so-called solution derived from the Charming Maiden Mystic Art could not be figured out on paper. The most practical approach was to study it during the dual cultivation process.

When you actually start practicing the dual cultivation method, you realize that the solution doesn't need to be deduced at all.

The so-called being dominated by desire and becoming a slave to desire is, scientifically speaking, nothing more than a matter of hormones. From a spiritual perspective, it means being dominated by yin energy and having an extreme, endless thirst for yang energy, which leads to becoming a "desperate woman with insatiable desires."

He possesses the Yin-Yang Ultimate Skill, making him the natural choice to solve this problem.

The previous Yin-Yang harmony involved guiding the other's Yin energy into one's own body and replenishing one's own Yang energy, creating a cycle. Now, with the combination of the Great Joy and Bliss Sutra and the Mysterious Art of the Maiden, the upgraded Yin-Yang Ultimate Intent Art can now reverse Yin and Yang on its own.

He could easily transform the yin energy residing in Dugu Qingli's body into yang energy, thus achieving a balance.

However, this process was a little too comfortable for the sensitive little white hair...

With just a cup of tea, Jiang Yuan outside heard Dugu Qingli's loud voice.

Jiang Yuan covered her ears and let out a sigh of relief.

So, it's all just a cup of tea; my previous understanding was correct.

Inside the room, Dugu Qingli was completely lost in thought, her small mouth slightly open, breathing weakly.

The red pupils finally turned blue again, and both the Ice Demon's intent and the Charming Maiden's intent were harmonized and returned to their origin.

Instead, the icy sword intent grew stronger, the moon shone over the cold river, and the sky was covered in frost for thousands of miles.

Breakthrough to Super Grade while in Blue Eyes state.

Lu Xingzhou reached the peak of the first rank and pushed open the gate of Huiyang.

"Sailing." The dazed little white-haired boy suddenly spoke.

Lu Xingzhou hummed in response.

“I…I didn’t intend to do this before. I planned to talk to Master and then be with you openly and honestly.” Lu Xingzhou said, “I know.”

“The demonic state is terrible. It makes you ignore many of the thoughts of a human being and only consider what you need.” Dugu Qingli said in a low voice, “I don’t like being demonized… but as for this matter, I don’t regret it…”

Lu Xingzhou didn't say anything, but simply lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

For a girl who has just given everything, no words are as effective as this gentle attitude.

Dugu Qingli's expression brightened a bit, as if she had regained a lot of strength, and she said, "I finally know why Master likes being with you so much... it turns out this really is so comfortable."

“Uh…” Lu Xingzhou was a little embarrassed: “Actually, it hasn’t come to that point with her.”

Dugu Qingli's eyes widened: "Huh?"

Lu Xingzhou didn't know how to put it. Ye Tinglan hadn't gone that far mainly because of her temperament and too many concerns. One of her biggest concerns was that her disciple wasn't very supportive of the matter, and for her disciple's sake, Ye Tinglan couldn't go too far.

As a result, the apprentice both hindered his master's progress and took the lead himself...

Master, your man is amazing?
Go against Tiangang.

Seeing Dugu Qingli's dazed expression, Lu Xingzhou tried calling out, "Qingli?"

"Huh? Oh..." Dugu Qingli quickly regained her composure: "It's fine. I was here first anyway, this is just returning to the proper course."

Lu Xingzhou: “…”

Dugu Qingli bit her lower lip: "I'm rested enough."

Whether it was because he had rested well or because stealing his master's man made Little White Hair even more excited, it seemed as if all the pent-up frustrations in his heart had vanished.

Lu Xingzhou didn't bother to argue. If his wife wanted it, could he say no?
The seductive music started playing again inside. Jiang Yuan, her eyes filled with tears, squatted down under a pillar, hugging her knees. So it could continue after all?

She suddenly realized why Lu Xingzhou hadn't acted recklessly underwater.

That guy has been doing this for so long, he needs an absolutely safe place, so he specifically came to Spring Mountain Pavilion. Now there's a huge group of Blood Refining Sect and Yama Palace people on the mountain, with a grand formation in place, and he even told Yan Li and Wei Miao not to come down the mountain. Adding himself to the mix, is he having a group of top experts guarding his wedding night?
The old lady quit!
Jiang Yuan got up angrily and left.

Just as she stepped outside the courtyard, she saw Wei Miao rushing towards her: "Miss Jiang, is Lord Lu here?"

Jiang Yuan replied expressionlessly, "Working."

He suddenly perked up: "Is it something important? I'll inform him right away and have him come out!"

Wei Miao: "There's no need to come out..."

Jiang Yuan's expression hardened again: "Then what are you going to say?"

Wei Miao said, "The mountain-protecting formation has been scanned by divine sense, suggesting that a powerful figure is spying on it. Lord Lu should be careful when going out recently."

"...Okay, you can go do whatever you need to do. I'll talk to him." Jiang Yuan turned around and went back into the courtyard without expression, then squatted down outside the house again.

As a guard, you need to be dedicated and see things through to the end.

After this last time, I'll never do this kind of work again in my life.

What a cold and aloof female swordswoman! Her voice is even more seductive than Yun'er's. You might as well become the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

The Hall of Yama, the King of Hell.

While healing, Yuan Muyu became restless and uneasy for some reason, making it impossible for her to continue healing. She opened her eyes.

Just then, a guard came in to announce: "The Central Ghost Emperor requests an audience."

Yuan Muyu nodded: "Let her in."

Situ Yue entered the room and asked in surprise, "Are you injured?"

"Hmm." Yuan Muyu didn't explain, but simply asked, "What is it?"

Situ Yue said, "When Lu Xingzhou asked for help earlier, I looked for you and Ji Wenchuan, but you didn't hear me, so I went by myself."

"The guard told me. Did you see him? How did it go?"

"I didn't see them. When I arrived at the battlefield, Zang Wanchun of Chunshan Pavilion and Hong Yin, the prefect of Chunshan County, were already dead, and there were many corpses of third-rank experts around. I contacted Yan Li and was told that Lu Xingzhou had pacified Chunshan, so I didn't bother with anything else and came back directly."

Yuan Muyu smiled slightly: "Zang Wanchun is nothing but a dog. How could he possibly play with Xingzhou? This result is perfectly normal."

Situ Yue asked, "Do you need any help with your injuries?"

"No need, I can recover on my own... You go ahead and do your work."

Situ Yue didn't say anything more and simply took her leave.

Ji Wenchuan watched her retreating figure from the shadows, his brows furrowed.

Old Ji stalked Situ Yue for a whole day and night, and everything was just as Situ Yue had said. By the time she arrived, the battle was already over. Anyway, Yan Li was already the representative of the Underworld, and Situ Yue's relationship with Lu Xingzhou was quite awkward, so it was natural for her to come back. There was nothing wrong with it.

Is Lao Lu overthinking things?
But perhaps influenced by his suspicion of his neighbor stealing his axe, Ji Wenchuan felt that there was something wrong with Situ Yue's decision not to wake him up, and the subsequent actions based on this problematic premise seemed like an act.

But she didn't know she was stalking someone, or who she was putting on an act for.

Unless... her strength is not what it seems, and her tracking has already been discovered.
