Chapter 132 The God of Dihua, My Great-Aunt is Too Cautious

Inside the space of the divine statue.

Looking at Lu Dai in front of him, Meng Bai began to recall the scenes he had spent with "Lu Xiqing" before.

He wondered why Lu Xiqing's personality had changed so drastically back then, as if she were a completely different person. Could it be that the person he was with wasn't Lu Xiqing, but Lu Dai?

But if that's the case, why doesn't she continue lying?

Did they stop lying halfway through?

Was she bored, or had she already achieved her desired goal in the process?
What did she achieve?

Also, when I returned to Hegu with Su Xintang last time, it was she who blew up three layers of my "Black Spot Protective Armor".
If it really is her, wouldn't that mean she knows that Su Xintang has already advanced to the Spirit God level?

A series of thoughts kept surfacing, making Meng Bai's mind a mess.

When Lu Dai saw that he didn't speak, she thought he was still plotting against the Lu family.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

A mysterious aura surged within the space, as if Meng Bai had been transported to another boundless world.

Lu Dai's figure disappeared.

Above the sky, thick, dark clouds were constantly being stirred by an invisible force.

It quickly transformed into a humanoid cloud that blotted out the sky. Lightning crackled within the giant cloud, and eight incense wheels behind its head emitted a dazzling glow that was impossible to look directly at.

The light seemed almost tangible, piercing Meng Bai's consciousness.

He actually felt waves of pain.

"good good good good!"

"I think you're going to drink a fine drink if you don't want to drink a toast."

Lu Dai's voice rang out from the horizon, booming like thunder as it approached.

The moisture in the air vibrated with the sound.

At this moment, the originally gentle rain and mist had a sharpness that could cut through everything.

However, Meng Bai could sense that Lu Dai wasn't actually using her full strength. Otherwise, his consciousness would have been immediately shattered by that overwhelming force.

In other words, she still wants to talk to herself.

So Meng Bai quickly looked up and shouted, "Wait a minute, Lu Zhengshen, isn't there some misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding? I'll just ask you one question: are you going to leave or not?" The rumbling voice came again.

Meng Bai was now truly certain that Lu Dai genuinely wanted him to get lost.

But the more this is the case, the less easily I can leave.

Lu Dai had clearly misunderstood; firstly, she misunderstood her own identity and strength; secondly, she misunderstood her own purpose.

In her eyes, she was an "old silver coin" who had come to the Lu family with ulterior motives.

In this situation, if I leave too easily, Lu Dai might think I'm lying to her.

He should act as if he doesn't want to leave, but in the end, he will have no choice but to leave due to Lu Dai's power.

With this thought in mind, Meng Bai suppressed his own urge to get out of there as soon as possible and pretended to struggle, saying, "Lu Zhengshen, can't we talk this out properly?"

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

"The Lu family once boasted two Righteous Gods and monopolized the Purple Lotus Divine Island as their sacred ground, displaying immense power. Now, however, their influence has waned, and even the descendants of the Zhang family dare to bully them. Not a single one of their descendants resembles their ancestor."

At this point, Meng Bai mustered his courage and asked, "Lu Dai, aren't you worried?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dai's eyes sharpened.

She felt that Meng Bai was trying to threaten her by using the Lu family's members.
Could it be that this old lecher also possesses the magical ability to curse people into becoming idiots?

It's not impossible; he can even manipulate the mystery of all living beings, so cursing foolish and weak juniors wouldn't be a problem.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Lu Dai deliberately chuckled, "Why should I be in such a hurry? You should know that I haven't even found a Daoist partner yet. The Lu family consists entirely of the offspring of my eldest brother and my other cousins."

Even if they were all dead, what would it have to do with me? Senior, you are a cultivator; you should know better than me what it means to sever ties with worldly karma.”

She paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "I have a long lifespan, and in the past thousand years, I have seen countless descendants die on their deathbeds. I have long since become indifferent to worldly affairs."

The reason the Righteous God's Palace is the Righteous God's Palace is because I am a Righteous God; as long as I exist, the Righteous God's Palace exists. If this generation of descendants is unworthy, simply have several more generations.

These words were somewhat unexpected by Meng Bai.

But upon further reflection, Meng Bai realized that what she said made sense. Ordinary members of the Lu family only had a lifespan of one or two hundred years. As a righteous god, with the accumulation of her lifespan several times, she could live at least five or six thousand years.

Such a person's view on offspring cannot be judged by common sense.

However, Meng Bai still put on an act, saying, "If you really didn't care, why did you get so angry when Su Xintang came to visit last time, and even invited the Lu family disciples to spar?"

"Senior's primordial spirit is weak and lifespan is limited, so why waste time teaching Su Xintang?" Lu Dai asked in return.

After saying that, without waiting for Meng Bai's reply, Lu Dai continued, "I was just teaching him casually when I had nothing else to do. It would be best if he could succeed, but it's fine if he can't. Senior, please don't try to use the Lu family's disciples as leverage. I don't care."

Hearing this, Meng Bai felt that the timing was about right.

It's time to propose a condition that Lu Dai can't possibly agree to, and then, in a reasonable way, let's break up and get out of here.

So Meng Bai chuckled and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. I have no intention of threatening you. On the contrary, I can train a few members of the Lu family for Your Excellency."

"As long as the Venerable God doesn't drive me away, I can still cultivate a few more spirit gods. The Venerable God's divine sense has been following me all along; surely he should have detected the spiritual energy within Su Xintang by now?"

Meng Bai's words had a specific purpose.

Firstly, he was trying to confirm whether Lu Dai had used her divine sense to track him; secondly, he was trying to influence Lu Dai's decision-making.

Given Lu Dai's wary demeanor, it would be better if he didn't mention Su Xintang's spiritual energy. If he brought it up, Lu Dai would definitely become suspicious.

The same is true.

Lu Dai was already extremely puzzled by the spiritual energy emanating from Su Xintang.

Now that Meng Bai brought it up, I feel like he's setting a trap.

She believed that Meng Bai was trying to deceive her, making her mistakenly believe that Meng Bai had the ability to help people advance to the level of a spirit god.

Therefore, Lu Dai refused without hesitation, saying, "There's no need for you, senior, to trouble yourself with the Lu family's affairs."

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Meng Bai pretended to make a last-ditch effort.

He offered his price: "Your Excellency and your brother fought side by side for over 1,500 years, and their bond is so deep it's beyond words. Doesn't Your Excellency want to see your brother come back to life and call you 'sister' again?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai felt as if the world had frozen in time.

The raindrops that had been drizzling around us stopped falling in the air.

It remained still for a moment.

Suppressing her rage, Lu Dai spoke in a low, menacing voice, feigning indifference: "So that's why you chose my Lu family, trying to lure me into agreeing."

Unfortunately, despite both being righteous gods, my elder brother has always treated me as a vassal all these years. His death is no loss; you no longer need to use your flattering words to make people laugh.

"If that's the case, it seems I really have no affinity with the Lu family. Once the Sleeping Realm ends, I will pay a visit, take this tree and the body of that little jade snake, and never come to the Lu family again."

"Are we going to drag this out until the Sleep Realm ends?"

“There’s no need for you to worry, God. It’s just that planting this tree is difficult, and uprooting it completely without leaving any roots is also very difficult. I need to peel it away slowly, not to delay or plot anything,” Meng Bai said deliberately.

His consciousness couldn't uproot the tree at all; if it could, it would have done so long ago.

Lu Dai was unaware of this, and she had been worried that the trees wouldn't be completely removed.

Otherwise, she would have already pulled up the tree herself to use as firewood for roasting meat, instead of wasting time talking nonsense with Meng Bai.

"If Your Excellency has nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave."

"Wait!" Lu Dai suddenly spoke up.

"What, has Your Majesty changed your mind?" Meng Bai's heart tightened, worried that he had used too much force.

"..." Lu Dai remained silent for a long time, suppressing her inner thoughts, and shook her head, saying, "Remember to come and retrieve the tree after the Sleeping Realm ends, otherwise..."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I have no ill intentions. I will definitely come to retrieve the tree within two days after the end of the Sleep Realm, and I will not come to the Lu family again then."

After Meng Bai finished speaking, his consciousness immediately dissipated; he did it on purpose.

He wanted to give Lu Dai the illusion that he could come and go as he pleased.

The strategy worked. Lu Dai had intentionally sealed off the space, but she still couldn't trap him.

This made Lu Dai give up the idea of ​​ambushing Meng Bai again. How could she kill someone who could come and go as he pleased? What if she couldn't kill him completely?
She withdrew her supernatural powers, the humanoid cloud dissipated, and the sky returned to tranquility.

She stood barefoot in front of the sapling, remaining silent for a long time.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she floated up into the air and quickly passed through the thunderclouds above, arriving at Lu Guang's coffin.

With a hand seal, the magical coffin was opened, revealing Lu Guang's lifelike corpse lying inside.

Lu Dai rarely visits Lu Guang.

Because every time she stood beside the coffin and looked at Lu Guang's corpse, she would be unable to extricate herself from the memories.

Just as Meng Bai just said, the brother and sister fought side by side for 1,500 years, rising from a poor family where they couldn't even get enough to eat to become the Nine-Round God and the Eight-Round God respectively. You can imagine how deep their bond was.

Lu Dai was truly moved just now.

She really, really wanted to see her brother in the coffin open his eyes again and call her "little sister".

That's why she couldn't help but call out "Wait!" when she saw Meng Bai about to leave.

She knew that Meng Bai could mobilize her elder brother's natal deity statue.

She knew that Meng Bai's consciousness could definitely enter her brother's corpse and bring him back to "life".

Even if only for a moment.

Even if my older brother could "come back to life" and chat with me for just fifteen minutes, I would be completely satisfied.

But reason told her that Meng Bai already coveted her brother's body and was plotting to possess it. If she were to actively invite his consciousness into her brother's corpse, what difference would it make from inviting a wolf into the house?
Thinking of this, Lu Dai gritted her teeth and her eyes turned red.

She began to speculate again that Meng Bai waited until the slumber ended before retrieving the tree not because it was difficult to uproot, but because he wanted to give himself time to properly imagine what his elder brother would look like when he came back to life.

No wonder he took the initiative to activate his elder brother's statue last time.

It's all calculation.

Meng Bai, that old scoundrel, is trying to make me waver in my decision to kick him out of the Lu family through fantasy.

"How dare you toy with people's hearts like this! You deserve to die a horrible death."

"You think I'd fall for your trap?"

"My elder brother died because he underestimated the enemy and fell victim to these conspiracies and tricks!"

Over here, Lu Dai went crazy.

Meanwhile, Meng Bai, who had opened his eyes in the car, could no longer contain his joy.
