Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

However, this will only happen once, and will not be repeated.

Otherwise, if the ancient overlord escapes and uses its hiding methods to recover its cultivation and wreak havoc on the world, she, the protector of humanity, will have a real headache.

On the other hand, Ning Zhexian thought differently; what the ancient overlords were like had nothing to do with her.

Even if an ancient overlord were to regain his peak cultivation, in her eyes, he would be nothing more than that, not worth mentioning.

However, this time she was quite interested in staying to see how Su Liang would take advantage of the goddess...

However, Su Liang was very unruly when he was with her, and often made small moves.

Now, with such a good opportunity, he's actually being very proper, pouring wine for her and the goddess.

Su Liang naturally didn't understand Ning Zhexian's thoughts at this moment. He had just gone all out, which was why he was now surrounded by women on both sides.

Now that such a delicate balance has finally been achieved, he dares not step into the red line.

At this moment, Su Liang only hoped that the goddess and Ning Zhexian would leave satisfied after a few rounds of drinks, allowing him to have a few days of peace.

Of course, within the bounds of balance and outside the forbidden zone, collecting some rewards is still acceptable.

After all, according to Chen Danfei, there was only one such black goji berry tree in the entire Taihao Academy, and not many of these black goji berries grew on that tree.

Although Su Liang brewed this top-grade spiritual wine using black goji berries and superior spiritual wine, he had never tasted it before.

Looking at the wine in the glass, which had an amber-like luster, Su Liang drank it all in one gulp.

"hiss--"

After drinking a cup, he immediately felt a wave of heat coursing through his limbs and veins.

This taste... it feels somewhat familiar.

Chapter 277 True Apology with Thorns on One's Back

A surge of heat rose from his chest and abdomen, then entered the body's circulation, making his whole body boil and active.

At this moment, he was not drunk at all; on the contrary, his perception had been enhanced.

"Ok?"

Ning Zhexian and An Mengyou looked at Su Liang with strange expressions. This guy, preparing this kind of spiritual wine, definitely has ulterior motives!

Their cultivation levels were unparalleled, so the effects of the spirit wine were minimal, even negligible.

However, if that beautiful girl had drunk this kind of spiritual wine last time, she would have been knocked out after just one cup, and Su Liang would inevitably have done something wrong and overstepped his bounds.

"This wine is too strong and will do you no good. I will keep it for now."

Ning Zhexian snorted coldly, then spoke in an icy tone.

While Su Liang was still marveling at the domineering and unparalleled effects of this spirit wine, he was unexpectedly struck by a bolt from the blue.

This time, surprisingly, the goddess agreed.

If this special spirit wine remains in Su Liang's hands, he might use it to harm an ignorant girl like Chen Danfei. It would be best to take it away.

Ning Zhexian and the goddess even suspected that Chen Danfei's previous drunken stupor might have been due to drinking this kind of magical wine.

Su Liang protested his innocence, saying that Chen Danfei had a terrible drinking habit and would pass out after just one cup, so he couldn't blame it on his precious spirit wine.

After several rounds of drinks, Su Liang safely saw Ning Zhexian and An Mengyou off.

However, both masters said they would come again tomorrow to guide Su Liang's cultivation!

Su Liang, however, remained completely unperturbed. He reasoned that if things were peaceful today, they would be peaceful tomorrow and the day after.

The key lies in finding that delicate balance.

According to this theory, the harem will surely prosper, flourish, be harmonious, and be stable in the future!

Just as Su Liang was feeling quite smug, a scene that left him utterly dumbfounded unfolded.

After Ning Zhexian and An Mengyou left, another terrestrial immortal actually arrived at his manor!

He was familiar with this person; it was none other than Fairy Li Qingmo.

However, at this moment, Fairy Li Qingmo had tied herself up with ropes, carried many thorns on her back, and was only wearing a single garment, clearly indicating that she had come to apologize with thorns on her back.

"I'm sorry, it was because I failed to protect you properly that you and other students from the outer academy fell into traps multiple times."

"I sincerely apologize and am willing to accept punishment."

"I will relinquish my cultivation and not resist. As long as you can forgive me, you may whip me with thorns as you please."

Li Qingmo's beautiful eyes were filled with a serious expression.

Even if she were a powerful immortal on land, if she were to unleash her full power and offer no resistance, a brutal beating could render her senseless.

'Stimulate!'

Looking at Li Qingmo's appearance and listening to her words, Su Liang felt extremely excited.

However, he had just managed to see the two fairies off with great difficulty, so he naturally couldn't afford to make a mistake here!

This is definitely a trap, a test!

If he really dares to hit Li Qingmo, he'll be the one who gets hit in the end.

In a battle between a terrestrial immortal and a peak-level Transcendent Realm expert, it's obvious who will draw the cards.

Even the villainous system can understand and see through this kind of problem, so how could Su Liang not know it?

"You flatter me, Fairy Qingmo."

Faced with such temptation, Su Liang chose to remain calm.

Looking into Su Liang's clear eyes, Li Qingmo was momentarily dazed.

Could it be that she put Su Liang and Chen Danfei in danger, and Su Liang truly harbored no hatred towards her whatsoever?

It should be noted that Su Liang, Chen Danfei, and the other students were placed in such a dangerous situation, and she bears a great deal of responsibility for this.

Seeing Li Qingmo's appearance, Su Liang understood even more.

He had long known that if a cultivator at the Profound Realm and a terrestrial immortal were to fight, it would be obvious who would strike whom.

Although this matter is exciting, he needs to remain rational and adapt to any situation.

"In the path of cultivation, must one abandon the seven emotions and six desires, and discard all distracting thoughts, in order to achieve harmony between heaven and man, and attain inner sagehood and outer kingship?"

At this moment, Li Qingmo spoke again.

"Ok?"

Su Liang was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Li Qingmo would suddenly ask him such a question at this time.

If it were any other issue, Su Liang might need to consider it carefully, but when it comes to cultivation, he would simply speak his mind.

After all, the reason he has achieved such success in his cultivation is because he listened to his own heart.

If one were to follow the old ways and blindly adhere to dogma, how could Su Liang have withstood the Dragon Emperor's attack and killed the ancient overlord?

"The way of cultivation lies in following one's heart in both favorable and unfavorable circumstances, doing as one pleases without overstepping the bounds, being carefree and at ease, and following the natural way."

"In short, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth operates freely without any constraints, and we cultivators should naturally cultivate in accordance with the Great Dao."

Su Liang wasn't making this up.

After hearing this, Li Qingmo was stunned for a moment. Su Liang's point of view opened another window on her already solidified path.

However, she is currently unsure whether Su Liang's statement is right or wrong, so she refrains from commenting.

If Su Liang was wrong, then if he hadn't stepped forward this time, the human race would have faced a catastrophe.

If Su Liang really didn't do anything wrong, then Su Liang's journey of cultivation... sigh...

"Although your cultivation is still shallow, you have already gained some understanding of the Great Dao that I have never heard of before, regardless of whether it is right or wrong. However, as you have cultivated along the way, do you know how many women you have let down?"

After saying this, Li Qingmo immediately turned and left, leaving Su Liang standing there deep in thought.

On the other hand, after Li Qingmo left, she also realized that her Dao heart was flawed. The right and wrong of this matter had not yet been decided, so why should she say anything?

At this moment, Li Qingmo was also very puzzled. With her level of cultivation, why was she so uncalm?

Li Qingmo's words did not have much impact on Su Liang.

The so-called Tao follows nature. Everything in the world, as long as it does not go against one's own heart or harm nature and reason, will naturally follow the natural course and the general trend.

Having figured this out, Su Liang's state of mind instantly improved slightly.

Although this improvement doesn't have an immediate effect, as time goes by, his Dao heart will become more and more perfect, unlike Li Qingmo, who has already cultivated to the realm of a terrestrial immortal but still has a flawed Dao heart.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Ning Zhexian, dressed in a long blue dress, arrived as expected.

The goddess also arrived at the same time.

Ning Zhexian liked to wear plain-colored dresses. Although the colors were cool, each of her dresses was embroidered with elegant patterns in silver thread.

Each dress is almost a masterpiece of art, painstakingly crafted by the embroiderers, and is beautiful from both afar and up close.

The goddess An Mengyou's dress was elegant and luxurious, mainly in white and gold.

Her clothes and her temperament complemented each other perfectly; ordinary people always felt somewhat inferior when they saw her.

Chapter 278 This weakling is ridiculously strong (Fourth update)

"You were able to slay an ancient overlord, that's quite impressive. Since you killed the ancient overlord, I suppose the treasure he obtained back then, the Ascension Ladder, is also in your possession, right?"

In Su Liang's courtyard, the goddess An Mengyou elegantly and gracefully sipped her tea while slowly speaking.

Ning Zhexian, though not asking any questions, also looked at Su Liang.

Su Liang was able to kill the ancient overlord this time not only because of his own strength, but also because he got a great stroke of luck.

Although the ancient overlord was sealed and suppressed, he could not be completely killed; he could only be worn down little by little.

This time, the ancient overlord was in an unprecedented period of weakness, and Su Liang killed him, naturally picking up a huge bargain.

"Does this mean we have to hand it over to the government?"

Su Liang asked uncertainly, "I did obtain the Ascension Ladder, but now, with the help of the villain system, I have barely managed to fuse it with."

At this point, even if he wanted to take it out and hand it over, he couldn't.

Furthermore, he killed that ancient overlord single-handedly, so the spoils should belong to him alone.

An Mengyou: "???"
