Evil of all ages

Chapter 73: Virtual and Submissive
Huang Taichu likes this kind of girl. If you're afraid of him and don't dare to interact with him, you might as well find a girl from a brothel.

Shangguan Yunyao also knew her limits. She knew that her man was doing serious business and she couldn't play pranks on him or make him lose face.

She withdrew her delicate hand and clung to Huang Taichu as docilely as a kitten.

"You're right, you are indeed a bit old, and you can't serve me for many more years."

Huang Taichu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Caiyue's heart tightened, thinking that she had displeased the Ghost Emperor by not agreeing immediately, and now he was unwilling to accept her.

"I'll extend your lifespan by a few years, so you'll have something to look forward to, and you'll be more willing to work for me in order to get more lifespan rewards in the future."

What?
Lifespan bonus?

Am I sure I didn't mishear?
This was Liu Caiyue's true feeling. She originally thought that the Ghost Emperor would make things difficult for her, but to her surprise, he didn't and even rewarded her with more lifespan.

But this lifespan...

Xia Chaojun had personally experienced this event, so he wasn't surprised. Yu Xuan and the other four had witnessed it, and they remained outwardly calm.

Apart from a few of them, everyone else felt a sense of unease.

Even Shangguan Yunyao, who was nestled in Huang Taichu's arms, was moved.

"If the Ghost Emperor intends to reward me with a longevity pill, then there is no need for that."

Liu Caiyue thought that the Ghost Emperor could refine pills and could make longevity pills, so she prepared to reward him with longevity pills.

But she showed no excitement whatsoever.

She is the last descendant of Medicine King Valley, how could she not have the secret recipe for the Longevity Pill, how could she not know how to refine the Longevity Pill?

However, the longevity pills she concocted could only extend lifespan by two or three years at most.

Furthermore, consuming too many longevity pills will not increase one's lifespan, as this is illogical.

For most people, taking the first longevity pill is effective, but the second one becomes ineffective.

Only a very small number of people can gain an extra year or two in life by taking the second pill.

She is one of the very few people whose lifespan was extended by four or five years with the two life-enhancing pills.

She has developed antibodies against the longevity pill.

Even though the Ghost Emperor's alchemy skills were far superior to hers, and he could refine pills that could increase lifespan by five or six years, it had no effect on her whatsoever.

"I do know how to refine longevity pills, but there are other ways to increase lifespan besides taking longevity pills."

"Choose one: be a few years younger, or add a few more years to your original lifespan."

"Hmm, I'm confused. You're a woman, and women love beauty. If you can look younger, why would you choose anything else?"

Huang Taichu used his ability to realize modern craftsmanship to create a mirror.

He tossed it to Liu Caiyue and told her to look in the mirror. Nothing is more shocking than seeing yourself look a few years younger, especially for a woman.

When Liu Caiyue received the modern craft mirror, she was quite amazed.

Compared to bronze mirrors of this era, this modern craft mirror is simply a celestial mirror.

Exquisitely perfect.

Apart from Xia Chaojun and the others, everyone else's eyes were fixed on Liu Caiyue's face, as if they were all waiting for her to become younger.

Huang Taichu did not keep everyone waiting long, and used the Mind Beast to make Liu Caiyue a few years younger.

Although it didn't drastically change Liu Caiyue's appearance, she did look a few years younger.

I feel more energetic.

Liu Caiyue had no choice but to believe that the Ghost Emperor could truly reward people with longer lifespans.

At that moment, not only was she excited, but everyone else was too.

After all, that's lifespan. No one can outlive the years. Who would refuse to live a few more years?

Lu Tianyi's breathing became heavier; he had already come to regard the Ghost Emperor as a banished immortal.

If it can extend a person's lifespan, then restoring a disfigured person to their original state would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Shangguan Yunyao was more excited than anyone else, because she was a woman and knew that women, like flowers, could only bloom for a short time and could not stay young forever.

She fears the day when she grows old and loses her beauty.

But when she saw that her man could make women look younger, she hugged Huang Taichu even tighter, afraid that he would run away.

She understood that it was the good fortune she had accumulated over several lifetimes that allowed her to meet Huang Taichu.

"Don't be too happy yet. Lifespan can be increased, but there is a limit."

"For example, if a master with innate strength can live for two 60 years, I can add 20 or 30 years to his lifespan at most."

"No more, we can't add any more."

"Because people have limits, if you force them to increase their limits, they will not be able to bear it."

"If you want to live longer, you still have to break through your own martial arts realm."

Seeing everyone so excited, Huang Taichu still gave them a heads-up.

Upon hearing that there was a limit to the increase in lifespan, the crowd gradually calmed down.

Although Liu Caiyue was reluctant to part with the Mirror of Immortality, she knew it was not a mortal object and not something a mere mortal like herself should possess. Therefore, she prepared to return the Mirror of Immortality to the Ghost Emperor.

"Keep it for yourself. This mirror will last for ten years, after which it will disappear on its own."

It's just a modern craft item; Huang Taichu has no reason to take it back.

Since the mirror is a manifestation of thought, this insignificant amount of thought can only exist for a maximum of ten years. After ten years, the thought dissipates, and the mirror naturally disappears as well.

"Thank you for your reward, Lord Ghost Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Liu Caiyue excitedly put away the magic mirror.

Huang Taichu told Liu Caiyue to put away her half of the Imperial Medicine Manual and other items, and then told her to step aside. He then beckoned Lu Tianyi and Mei Xiaoqiao to come forward.

Lu Tianyi was pondering what kind of contribution he should make to earn the Ghost Emperor's help in healing his face and restoring it to its original state.

Not only him, but also Mei Xiaoqiao, who is a young girl and needs it even more.

However, he was also afraid that the Ghost Emperor was a leader without goals and extremely unconventional, and that there were no tasks for them to do.

If there are no tasks to complete, what contributions can you make?

Without making any contribution, how dare I ask the Ghost Emperor for favors?

As he was lost in thought, he saw the Ghost Emperor beckoning him and Mei Xiaoqiao forward.

They thought the Ghost Emperor had a mission for them.

Overjoyed, he led Mei Xiaoqiao forward and knelt down on one knee.

Waiting for the Ghost Emperor's instructions.

"You two are the dirtiest and most unsightly here."

"Fine, to prevent you from tarnishing the team's image, I'll restore you to your original state."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianyi was incredibly excited.

He thought he would need to make many, many contributions to receive the Ghost Emperor's favor.

Who would have thought the surprise would come so suddenly?

He got what he wanted without putting in any effort.

Suddenly he realized that the leader's frivolous behavior was actually quite good.

Next second

His face was unbearably itchy, making one want to scratch it, but he resisted the urge.

Wounds that heal quickly on their own will itch terribly; scratching them is just silly.

When he saw that Mei Xiaoqiao couldn't resist scratching, he grabbed her hands to stop her.

With her hands grabbed, Mei Xiaoqiao immediately became obedient.

And so, the old skin peeled off Lu Tianyi's face, revealing his handsome and pleasing appearance to everyone.

Mei Xiaoqiao was the same; when the crisscrossing scars on her face were removed, she revealed a petite and lovely beauty.

Not only did his face recover, but all the scars he had sustained in the arena battles were also removed.

Mo Feiyu stared blankly at everything, as if he had never seen the world before.

Regarding the Ghost Emperor's methods, he had only witnessed the Ghost Emperor silently enabling Wang Shaoming and Du Yongqing to break through to the Innate Realm.

The rest of the time was spent rescuing children and inviting the Gu doctor Qi Hongfei; I haven't seen the Ghost Emperor use any other methods.

Now he has seen it!

These miraculous methods kept a voice in his mind:
The Ghost Emperor is a living immortal!
A living immortal!

Qi Hongfei drank the fine wine, but his heart was filled with sorrow.

He wasn't doing it for himself; the wine smelled good, and he was enjoying it immensely. What worries did he have?

He was worried about Di Qingtian, who was, after all, his friend.

Unfortunately, his friend was facing an opponent who could not be bound by common sense.

How does this work?
This is not about becoming someone to be played with.

He had already foreseen the consequences for Di Qingtian.

I lost my wife and lost my troops!
She lost her sister and was led by the nose by Huang Taichu.

Qi Hongfei said that if it's just being led by the nose, it's not a big problem.

He was afraid that Huang Taichu would overturn the table and stop playing.

Liu Caiyue was initially trying to play along, but after witnessing the Ghost Emperor's incredible abilities, she felt like she was on a pirate ship and couldn't get off.

Lu Tianyi saw Mei Xiaoqiao staring at his face, seemingly mesmerized.

I smiled to myself. She really is a young girl; she can't hide anything. Her thoughts are written all over her face.

He released Mei Xiaoqiao's hands and kowtowed to the Ghost Emperor.

"Thank you, Lord Ghost Emperor, for your life-saving grace."
