Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

After saying that, Lin Yaoxie laughed: "Then please, Heavenly Lord, hurry up and make the preparations."

"Prepare? Prepare for what?" Sang Ji was naturally very puzzled.

At this moment, Lin Yaoxie slowly walked towards Sang Ji's place and slowly said, "Of course, I'm preparing to send troops. We also need to capture Donghua back. Didn't the Heavenly Lord already agree just now?"

After these words were spoken, a person entered from outside, who appeared to be Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao). Upon entering, he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! We...we have discovered the Emperor's whereabouts..."

This conveniently resolved Sang Ji's doubts, but it also made him somewhat displeased: "So...so...so you were setting a trap for me? You had already..."

"Did they already know Donghua wasn't dead, which is why they said those things? That's why they sentenced Donghua to such a severe punishment!"

This was something Laozi was unaware of, and upon hearing it, he was genuinely surprised: "What! When has the Eastern Emperor committed any crime?"

Lin Yaoxie threw the judgment paper on the table to the ground. Taishang Laojun hurriedly picked it up, and upon seeing it, he was startled, his hands trembling uncontrollably: "Wh...what...Emperor Donghua? Is this really Emperor Donghua...?"

"Of course." Lin Yaoxie took the paper back, then looked at Sang Ji with a smile: "We were planning to capture Donghua and bring him back to be punished. I already discussed it with the Heavenly Lord just now. Heavenly Lord, what do you say?"

Sang Ji remained silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I did say such a thing."

"See? I told you so. I didn't just frame Donghua for nothing. This was approved by your Heavenly Lord," Lin Yaoxie laughed, then straightened his clothes and prepared to leave. "Alright, everything's settled. I'll be going now. You can continue your discussion if you have anything else to discuss."

After Lin Yaoxie had left, Laozi stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall. But he had only taken a few steps when Lin Yaoxie's voice came from the side: "What's wrong with you all? Your faces are all ashen."

The dragons all looked up and said, "In the past, you, Dragon Lord, gave us many benefits and fed us with various kinds of people every day. Humans, winged people, aquatic people, we have eaten all kinds of people. However, we would like to try some new flavors."

Without needing further reminders, Lin Yaoxie already knew what these dragons needed, so he gave the order: "Alright, since you've already come to the Celestial Clan, you should naturally leave behind something or something of commemorative significance..."

Chapter 104 Rogue

"...Do whatever you want, but I still need to be a little more polite to that man these days, so don't make any big moves, lest you disrupt my plans. Also, I can't stay here for long, so don't stay too long either."

The dragons were overjoyed upon hearing this, and they practically jumped for joy before running off in celebration, leaving only the old dragon behind.

"What, you don't want to try those new flavors? These immortals are high above all day long, using immortal energy to heal themselves. I believe the taste and texture will be quite good after eating them. You can also try them by eating with those little dragons."

After he finished speaking, Lin Yaoxie felt a surge of immortal energy behind him, so he quickly turned around and saw a piece of clothing fluttering there: "Come out."

Immediately, Laozi walked out somewhat lewdly. After all, Lin Yaoxie was also the Wing Lord, so he bowed and said, "So it is the Wing Lord. I didn't see the Wing Lord's true face when I was in the main hall. I only heard his voice. When I was listening to him, I felt that it must be the Wing Lord's voice. Now that I see it again, it is indeed so."

The Supreme Lord Laozi was quite enthusiastic about flattering him, but unfortunately, Lin Yaoxie showed absolutely no interest in it. The old dragon, knowing he shouldn't stay any longer, bowed and said, "Dragon Lord, I'll go find the others first, and I'll return to meet you later."

"Ah."

After the old dragon left, Laozi also felt that this was really wrong, so he wanted to leave as well: "Since the Dragon Lord has other matters to attend to, then I will not disturb Lord Yi any longer."

After saying that, she was about to leave, but Lin Yaoxie grabbed her collar. When she turned around, she saw Lin Yaoxie smiling and saying, "Then I suppose the Supreme Lord Laozi is going back to his residence. I don't come to the Heavenly Palace often, so I found it quite rare to come here. I wandered around for a while, but the Nine Heavens are so big, there are always some places that we can't enter. Don't you think so, Supreme Lord Laozi?"

The Supreme Lord Laozi was truly aggrieved, so he nodded and said, "Lord Yi, you are joking. Your status is extremely high now, so what place can't you enter? How about this, if there is any place you wish to go, just tell me. After all, I am getting old. Even if those maids don't care about you, they should at least consider that I am old and it's not easy for me, right?"

"It seems you've thought of everything very thoroughly, Laozi," Lin Yaoxie patted Laozi on the shoulder. "However, the place I'm going to isn't particularly troublesome, and there aren't many people around."

"Would you dare stop Laozi? Hahaha!"

Laozi laughed along, but sensing something was amiss, he asked, "Haha, in that case, where does Lord Yi wish to go?"

"This is indeed a rare place. Regardless of whether they are from the Nine Heavens or not, everyone really wants to go there."

Lin Yaoxie grabbed Laozi's arm and started walking towards him: "I actually wanted to go and take a look at your government office today. I don't know... what do you think, Laozi?"

Laozi shuddered, clearly unwilling to do so, but he didn't stop walking. Lin Yaoxie obviously wanted to go and see what was going on in his government office, which was no good place.

If the demons of the Winged Lord's Forest really go there and see those things, won't they kill me? It's rumored that the Winged Lord kills people without hesitation, not only causing them excruciating pain to die, but also eating their flesh and drinking their blood after they die. He's not someone to be trifled with, and I wonder what my fate will be then.

"Well... actually, there's nothing fun or interesting to see in my residence. I haven't been back for a long time, and who knows what this courtyard has become by now."

"But if Your Majesty is very interested in the Nine Heavens, then how about Laozi leads you to the Jade Pool? Speaking of the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Pool is definitely the place to mention. It's truly exceptional; the flowers there are currently at their peak bloom. Your Majesty's arrival is perfectly timed."

Although Laozi was trying his best to praise the Jade Pool, Lin Yaoxie remained unmoved: "Actually, since you've already gone this far, I can't refuse your good intentions, can I?"

After feigning a smile, Laozi took Lin Yaoxie to the Jade Pool. Lin Yaoxie was indeed interested in the lotus flowers in the Jade Pool, but he kept thinking about the little fairy maidens on it and Laozi's mansion.

After strolling around Yaochi, Laozi clearly wanted to leave: "This trip to Yaochi with the Winged Lord of the Winged Realm has been very exciting. We talked about many interesting things, which I will never forget. However, time flies by. Now, I should leave. The pills in the furnace are still being roasted. If I am late, they will be gone. So, I will not keep the Winged Lord any longer. I will be leaving now."

After saying this, he turned to leave, but Lin Yaoxie, who had heard the kind words, still grabbed Laozi and said with a smile, "Since Laozi is in such a hurry, then I will escort you for a while."

Before Laozi could even utter his refusal, he was suddenly transported to the gates of his residence. Although the gates were closed, the aroma of medicinal pills still lingered inside.

It kept gushing out, and when you smelled it, you felt that it was very fragrant. This fragrance often tempted the people in the Heavenly Palace to sneak a taste of this medicine.

"Hehehe, I really didn't expect that Lord Yi's magic power is so unfathomable. He returned to this mansion without even uttering a single word. Hahaha."

Honestly, if Laozi (Taishang Laojun) possessed the cultivation to defeat Lin Yaoxie, he probably would have already made a move. However, the reality is that he can't defeat this Winged Lord, and he could easily lose his life here. If he were to die, he would be the one who suffers the most. So, should he just tolerate this scoundrel?

Chapter 115 A Crossover Scene

"You don't need to be so polite, Laozi. After all, I might be bothering you for the whole night, so I have to trouble you again."

After saying that, Lin Yaoxie actually walked straight inside. Laozi stood there watching Lin Yaoxie's retreating figure, truly feeling very worried. What if something went wrong along the way, or perhaps…

Before he could finish thinking, a sound of breaking dishes came from inside. Laozi was naturally very worried and rushed in. He only saw a pile of broken pieces of dishes and the juncture of two hands. It was the maid and the evil Lin Yaoxie's hands about to touch: "Cough cough."

The sudden cough from Laozi not only disturbed Lin Yaoxie's mood but also ruined the maid's sweet dream. The fairy quickly withdrew her hand and bowed to Laozi with great grievance, only to be met with a torrent of abuse from him.

"You fairy maiden, you're really going to drive me crazy! Why didn't you wait patiently by the alchemy furnace instead of coming here! Have you been trying to slack off while I was away these past few days?"

The fairy maiden quickly knelt on the ground: "Lord Lao, spare me! Lord Lao, spare me! This servant will never dare to do it again, never dare to do it again." After saying that, she quickly knelt on the demon Lin: "My lord, my lord, my lord, this servant knows that you are not an ordinary person, and your identity must be extraordinary. But I know I was wrong about this, and it was unintentional. Please, please, please beg Lord Lao not to throw me down to the mortal realm. Please don't! Next time... next time, this servant will never dare to do it again."

Lin Yao chuckled wickedly, then said, "Since this little fairy has already knelt before me, it would be too much of a loss of face for me to kneel back. I'd have to say a few words..."

Lin Yaoxie felt that the situation was somewhat familiar. How come his way of speaking was slowly changing, as if he had become Bai Qian?

I've mixed up the shows...

"I'm fine. This little fairy only bumped into someone; it wasn't a serious crime. Sending her down to the mortal realm would be troublesome. I think it would be better to lock her up for a day or two so she can reflect on her actions. What do you think, Lord Lao?"

Since the Winged Lord had spoken, the Supreme Lord Laozi naturally dared not disobey and quickly obeyed, then pulled the little fairy away. Lin Yaoxie was in a very good mood and kept walking towards a house. Originally, the Supreme Lord Laozi was still following, but when he saw that the house in front had "Alchemy Room" written on it, he panicked and went alone to block Lin Yaoxie's way.

"I've been thinking about it. Why don't you come with me to the courtyard first? There are some medicinal herbs in the courtyard that I brought back from Changbai Mountain in the mortal realm some time ago, including the snow lotus that is very popular in the mortal realm."

"Oh? I really didn't expect that Laozi would be interested in mortal things. I don't often go to the mortal world, but I am very interested in such things."

So Laozi took the demon Lin to his own courtyard. There was only a ginseng root that was about to wither. Not to mention these precious medicinal herbs, there were hardly any flowers or plants in the courtyard. All that was there were weeds and some withered flowers and willows. It was really hard to look at.

Laozi was naturally embarrassed and couldn't even speak. Lin Yaoxie chuckled twice: "Actually, it's already quite remarkable that Changbai Mountain can produce such a sacred object as the snow lotus. Everyone in the world knows that the snow lotus grows on the snow of the Tianshan Mountains."

It's already incredibly rare for snow lotus to grow on Mount Taibai. Presumably, snow lotuses only thrive on Mount Taibai, and with Laozi moving them here, their survival is inevitable. However, the ginseng that's common on Mount Taibai is doing quite well here; at least you can still see some resemblance to ginseng.

After hearing this, Laozi felt quite uneasy: "Yes, yes, what you said makes some sense, but it is indeed a waste for the snow lotus and ginseng to grow in my courtyard. When people get old, they can't even take care of themselves, yet they still want to grow some flowers and plants. This is a waste of such good things."

Shaking his head helplessly, he watched as Lin Yaoxie slowly pulled out the ginseng and walked to Laozi. "Actually, Laozi, you don't need to blame yourself too much. But look at this thing. Think about it, this ginseng is still usable. Maybe it will bring some good surprises. From my observation, this ginseng has been transplanted from the mortal realm for quite some time."

Although this ginseng isn't well-cultivated, it's sustained by the nutrients from the dead snow lotus and other medicinal herbs. Its medicinal effects are certainly no worse than ordinary ginseng; in fact, due to the abundant spiritual energy here, it might even be much better.

Having said that, he handed over the ginseng. Laozi, feeling puzzled, naturally asked, "What is the meaning of this, Lord Yi?"

"What I just said was specifically for you, Lao Jun. I said so much in the hope that you would take this ginseng and taste it." Lao Jun glanced at the ginseng, which was not even slightly wilted, and found it very... difficult to eat. But it seemed that because he had brought that evil Lin to a dilapidated courtyard, that evil Lin was a little angry (by the king).

Laozi briefly reviewed the wilted ginseng in his mind, then the image of someone suffering a fate worse than death. He immediately understood: "Yes, I also think this ginseng is extremely nourishing. The elixir made from it must be incredibly potent. Eating it will certainly be extremely beneficial to the body. We should keep it, we should keep it."

So Laozi planned to keep the ginseng, but Lin Yaoxie stopped him: "Laozi, you've misunderstood. What I mean is that you should eat this ginseng raw."

"Judging from your expression just now, Lao Jun, you must have already sensed that this ginseng isn't what I described. Otherwise, you would have eaten it right away. But Lao Jun, as an alchemist, how could you not know something so simple?"

Chapters 106-16 The Great Path of Ginseng

"Some things you can't judge by appearances alone. Don't be fooled by this ginseng; it looks like a lump of mud, completely unappetizing. But there's more to it than meets the eye. Take me, for example. Look at me now. Who would know that I'm actually a completely different person inside? And I'm no ordinary person with a powerful background. If I didn't have such an impressive background, would you really be so polite to me?"

Although what was said did leave Laozi quite helpless, it was actually quite reasonable. Laozi was indeed very helpless after hearing this: "Yes, yes, well said, well said. But you, Lord Yi, are still the Lord Yi who commands respect from all directions. There is really no need to use yourself as an example."

"Laojun, tell me, isn't everything I've done for you? If you had listened to me properly earlier, why would I have had to go to such lengths to explain these ginseng principles to you? What do you think?"

Lin Yaoxie realized that his words were indeed somewhat shameless, but there was nothing he could do. Who told Laozi to waste his time time again and again? Did he think his time was free?

"Yes, yes, I think what Lord Yi said makes sense," after saying that, Laozi slowly picked up the ginseng, then gritted his teeth, closed his eyes,

Actually, just thinking about the legendary suffering of being worse than death, even Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) could bring himself to eat it. He immediately abandoned his dignity and swallowed the ginseng in one or two bites. In no time, the ginseng was gone.

"How do you feel? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The Supreme Lord Laozi nodded: "Yes, yes, what Lord Yi said is indeed correct. Although it tastes a bit bitter at first, it is actually quite smooth and moist once you eat it."

Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this; it was truly hilarious. The bitterness was, of course, the natural taste of ginseng, but it was because the ginseng hadn't grown well. As for the smoothness, it was because the ginseng had spoiled, which was why it had that smooth, slippery feeling that Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) had when he ate it.

The final adjective, "moist and juicy," is obviously because the ginseng had completely spoiled and turned into water—how could it not be moist and juicy? But seeing that Laozi seemed to like it quite a bit, Lin Yaoxie naturally felt embarrassed to continue shattering Laozi's beautiful wish.

However, this time it was truly beyond Lin Yaoxie's expectations. He never imagined that the renowned Supreme Lord Laozi of the Nine Heavens couldn't even distinguish between good and bad ginseng. He ate something bad and then claimed it was delicious. It really surprised him...

"Yes, this is good, this is good."

Lin Yaoxie nodded as he left the garden: "However, I think it's about time, so we shouldn't stay here any longer. Why don't we go and explore the other parts of your residence first? I've long heard that your alchemy skills are extremely superb, Laozi. I think this time I can finally feast my eyes on them. Hmm... how about you lead the way, Laozi?"

Laozi turned around, seemingly sensing that the ginseng did indeed appear to be somewhat spoiled, but since it had already been consumed, it was probably too late to regret it. However, Lin Yaoxie didn't seem to be watching him closely anymore: "Alright, alright, coming right up."

After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of saliva. But it was probably impossible to spit out all the ginseng. He lifted his buttocks to follow Lin Yaoxie, but he touched his mouth and smacked his lips. It seemed that the ginseng was quite delicious. Maybe it could be mass-produced and made into a best-selling food in the Nine Heavens.

Having been preoccupied with getting Laozi's attention elsewhere, she suddenly bumped into Lin Yaoxie's arms. Lin Yaoxie's eyes narrowed involuntarily: "I really didn't expect that Laozi... you actually had such thoughts?"

Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) hadn't meant any harm, but since Lin Yaoxie (the demon) had brought it up again, he couldn't help but swallow hard. This was truly not a good thing. Why did he always...

He was always distracted.

After scolding himself in his heart, Laozi explained, "Um... this time... I did not mean to offend Lord Yi. Please punish me, Lord Yi."

Lin Yaoxie smiled with narrowed eyes: "Heh, how to compensate me, don't you know the answer in your heart?"

Anyone who heard this would inevitably have the wrong idea, especially since the old Laozi, who had no parents, wife, or children and was in the throes of passion, couldn't help but say, "No, no, no, I've already prepared a room for you tonight, Lord Yi."

Knowing this, Laozi couldn't help but smile: "That's good then, but I still want to see your alchemy pavilion. I'm sure you have no objection."

Laozi, still immersed in the scene from before, only offered a perfunctory reply: "No, no, if Lord Yi wants to go, how could I dare to have any objections?" By the time Laozi came to his senses, it was already too late. He could only watch as Lin Yaoxie entered the alchemy pavilion.

Although he had made tireless efforts today, it was obviously meaningless now, especially since Lin Yaoxie had already entered. Now, Laozi could only hope that these servants would be more careful with their words.

Otherwise, it won't just be the person who spoke recklessly who will suffer, but he himself will also suffer, and even the entire Nine Heavens will suffer. Then he will truly be a rotten apple.

However, this was indeed Lin Yaoxie's first time visiting the alchemy pavilion inside the Supreme Lord Laozi's residence. It looked quite nice. As soon as he entered, he saw a very large furnace with smoke rising from it and a fire burning underneath. It was clear at a glance that medicine was being refined inside the furnace.

Chapter 117 Offending

This room was clearly a treasured possession of Laozi, not only because of the furnace itself, but also because everything in the room was of high quality. Upon entering, besides the dazzling alchemy furnace, the most eye-catching thing was the eight dragon heads hanging above it.

"This thing was made from the stones left over from when the goddess Nuwa mended the sky. It's an amazing treasure, definitely not some simple ornament."

When Laozi explained this, he was extremely happy about it, as if he, Laozi, was the one who mended the sky back then: "In the end, it was just the leftover stones from other people's use."

Moreover, judging from the materials used to make these eight dragon heads, there must have been quite a lot. Could Nuwa have had so many stones left over from mending the sky? If there really were that many, then Nuwa wouldn't have needed to use her body to mend the sky. Clearly, Laozi must have been deceived by someone.

Looking around, one discovers that there are indeed many good things here. It is clear at a glance that these things must be extraordinary. However, compared to what one has obtained by burning, killing, looting and plundering in the Great Purple Palace, they are still less valuable.
