Chapter 432 You Chase Me, You Chase Me…

　　In the sky, the black smoke that filled the sky was scattered by the golden light. Perfected Taiyi sighed and said, “Why do I feel that this Heavenly Fiend died with regrets?”.

　　A few figures flew over from afar. Daoist Duobao held the young man wrapped in the Heavenly Demon in his palm. His palm trembled slightly, and the young man’s body turned into a handful of sand that scattered across the world. Zhao Gongming said, “That young man can’t be saved. His soul has been completely devoured by the Heavenly Fiend. It seems that this Heavenly Fiend is not here this time.” Li Changshou nodded slowly and looked at the sand that was shimmering with a faint golden color.

　　He was in a daze. Although the most hidden otherworldly demon was forced to appear, the chanting continued for a while under Li Changshou’s insistence. When the immortals met again, Daoist Duobao muttered in an uncertain tone, “This time, it should be gone.” Everyone looked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “I can’t be sure. Nothing is absolute in the world.” Perfected Taiyi scolded jokingly, “Do you want to refine this small world again? There are already several tubes. What mistakes can there be?”

　　Li Changshou smiled at Perfected Taiyi.

　　Stable Dao is endless.

　　“Changgeng, you can arrange the rest.” Daoist Duobao smiled and gave Li Changshou a choice.

　　Now that the matter had been resolved, the demons that should have been wiped out have already been, and the donkey that should be killed… “Thank you, Senior Brother Duobao.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and looked at the people and beasts from the Western Sect.

　　Ksitigarbha’s heart tensed up, and Truth Listener tightened its legs and looked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou smiled and cupped his hands at Ksitigarbha. “Truth Listener played a huge role in eliminating the hidden dangers of the Heavenly Fiend. As the saying goes, the capable work more. Why don’t you stay here for a while?” Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “The words of the Water God are reasonable.”

　　Perfected Taiyi placed his hands in his sleeves and looked at Truth Listener. He said leisurely, “The main character has yet to speak. Why are you agreeing?” Although Ksitigarbha had already made sufficient preparations to deal with Perfected Taiyi’s sarcasm, he could not help but get annoyed. Zhao Gongming and Daoist Duobao at the side smiled until their eyes squinted. This time, Li Changshou had helped Ksitigarbha resolve the awkwardness.

　　Li Changshou changed the topic. “Senior Brothers, should we go to the Xuandu City to take a look? I wonder if the battle there is stable.”

　　“No.”

　　Daoist Duobao rejected him immediately and said seriously, “If Senior Brother Xuan Du does not ask for help, we are not allowed to enter casually. This is a rule set in ancient times in the Xuandu City. The mystical abilities of the otherworldly demons are unpredictable. If we go rashly, they might take advantage of us.” Li Changshou could not help but feel puzzled. Fairy Yun Xiao said gently, “There has been such a situation previously. The experts who acted on their own to help the Xuandu City were taken advantage of by the Skyfiends. A huge battle was triggered in the city, causing the Xuandu City’s defense line to almost fall.

　　At this moment, many Dao soldiers in Xuandu City are condensed using mystical abilities because of that.”

　　Dao Soldiers? I’ve heard that from the Great Daoist Master. I didn’t expect there to be such insider information.

　　Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He dispelled the thought of letting Youqin Xuanya come to the place to ‘decorate’. He asked Fairy Yun Xiao about that matter.

　　At that moment, Daoist Duobao opened a hole in the ground. The immortals flew in and returned to the five continents.

　　When the hole closed, Ksitigarbha looked down at Truth Listener below him. Green veins gradually appeared on his forehead. Truth Listener’s majestic body trembled as it hurriedly said in its heart, “Master, we have to lower our heads under the Water God’s roof.”

　　“Oh? Is that so?”

　　Ksitigarbha silently jumped down from Truth Listener’s back. He took out a Demonfall Pestle and a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped them gently. Truth Listener took half a step back. “Master, don’t you think that the Water God let us off because of our outstanding performance this time…” Buzz! The Demonfall Pestle trembled slightly.

　　“Are you questioning my sincerity towards you? In Senior Bai Ze’s painting of demons and spirits, we are the symbol of loyalty! Master, let’s talk nicely!”

　　“Stop right there if you’re loyal!”

　　“Master, put away the staff and let’s talk!”

　　“Bastard, why did I accept you back then!?!”

　　“Master, you can’t turn against me!”

　　“Stop!”

　　“Master, you can’t defeat the Water God. There’s no point in holding on. Hahahaha!”

　　In the glow of the morning sun, a huge green-furred dog was running in the sky. A young Daoist who was dressed in a wide robe and had a delicate face was chasing after it with a demonfall pestle. In the human tribes that had just experienced the chaos of the Heavenly Demons, many figures looked at this scene from afar and smiled. Outside the array formation of the Xuandu City, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stood in a pile of black mud. He looked at the black shadows that were fleeing in all directions in the Chaos Sea and heaved a sigh of relief.

　　“Have you dealt with Changshou?”

　　The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and was a little worried. After all, the Heavenly Fiend was quite cunning. Although his junior brother was thorough in his work, he was still rather naive.

　　Yes, pure.

　　In the mortal world of the South Continent, the huge city that had been unusually lively recently because of a certain “paragon”. In front of the academy, the seven young boys and girls had already been standing there for two hours. They had been there since sunrise. At first, they were a little dissatisfied and felt that General Dongmu had made a mistake.

　　However, Hua Youming said, “This should be a test for us!”

　　The group of young men and women immediately perked up. They stood in front of the door and waited quietly. The three young women, who were not covered by their veils today, began to sweat.

　　Hua Youming suddenly realized something.

　　This detestable Xia Ningshuang is quite good-looking Although she still has the appearance of a young girl and is not as beautiful as Yingying, who is playing music, and Tingting and Shuangshuang who were in the brothel, her figure was enchanting and made one’s imagination run wild. However, her face was delicate and pleasant. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that… “What are you looking at!?!”

　　Xia Ningshuang frowned and snorted. “If not for the fact that you did not allow me to wear a veil, I would not have looked at you like a frivolous wastrel!”

　　The corners of Hua Youming’s mouth twitched.

　　What do you think? This is a fierce woman! Whoever marries her in the future will be bullied by her for the rest of their lives!

　　I can’t afford to offend him. I just have to learn from him.

　　Creak…

　　The wooden door of the academy was pulled open. Li Changshou, who was disguised as a middle-aged scholar, appeared in front of them and yawned. “Come in.”

　　Hua Youming glared at him. “Sir, have you just woken up?”

　　“Last night, there was a violent storm. I went out to kill demons,” Li Changshou said calmly. “After I returned, I was a little tired and took a nap.” As soon as he said that, Hua Youming and the other three young men’s eyes lit up. The three young girls were also curious.

　　Hua Youming hurriedly asked, “Are there really demons?”

　　“Hahahaha!”

　　Li Changshou laughed loudly. When the seven of them entered, he closed the wooden door of the courtyard and walked on the stone path with his hands behind his back. “In this world, humans are the main characters. However, all living beings have gained sentience and are known as living beings. As the saying goes, there is no lack of humans, spirits, immortals, demons, demons, and ghosts in the world. However, in the South Continent, other places where humans gather are rare. As the saying goes, demons are demons if their spiritual heart techniques are not right. Humans are demons if they are heartless. That’s all.” Hua Youming blinked and pondered over those words carefully. A strange feeling arose in his heart, and he memorized all those words.

　　After entering the bamboo hut, Li Changshou yawned and said, “The seven of you should first discuss which homework to choose. I’ll rest for a while and teach you in the afternoon.”

　　After saying that, Li Changshou lay on the rocking chair and closed his eyes to snore. In fact, that was just for show. He shifted his attention to his main body and took a stroll with Fairy Yun Xiao on the Three-Immortal Island. They chatted and drank a cup of tea before bidding farewell at noon.

　　It was indeed comfortable to befriend the fairy. It was a feast for the eyes. The soft voice could be heard, and the fragrance entered the nose. There was also the color of the sea and mountains. It was really the best in the Primordial World. Li Changshou’s main body slipped back to the Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect and found a comfortable corner to hide.

　　This time, he did not take the initiative to return the Pagoda Master and the Cosmic Ruler. Ling’e was still out training. Li Changshou could also make preparations that could deal with most unexpected situations. Ling’e, on the other hand, had been very stable. She strolled around the town, drank tea, and bought things. Although she was also thinking about how to ascend the Ten Thousand Years Mountain, she was generally quite relaxed.

　　On the Black Pool Peak, Li Changshou opened his eyes. Bai Ze smiled and walked over. “Have the otherworldly demons been dealt with?”

　　“It’s settled.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “That Truth Listener’s mystical ability is really useful.”

　　“This is the nemesis of the otherworldly demons.” Bai Ze was about to give an example when he suddenly thought of himself. He seemed to be restrained by the Water God in front of him. His smile gradually disappeared as he sat at the side and sighed.

　　Li Changshou was really confused this time. He asked, “Mr. Bai, what’s wrong?”

　　“Ah… Water God, let me calm down.”

　　“Mr. Bai, do as you please.” Li Changshou observed Bai Ze with concern for a while. When he realized that there was nothing unusual with Bai Ze, he began to get busy with other matters. Leaving Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener in that small place was only part of Li Changshou’s plan. Why can the Western Sect attack and divide the three Dao Sects, while they can’t mess with the mentality of the Western Sect? In the Water God Residence of the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou changed into a paper effigy and walked out of the residence with his horsetail whisk. He headed towards the Hall of Enlightenment. An hour later, the Heavenly Courts issued a declaration. This declaration was sent to the various townhouses of the Middle Continent by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. It was sent to the spiritual mountain of the Aparagodānīya Continent and scattered at the place where the demons of the North Continent gathered.

　　It was a letter of commendation.

　　The letter said that there were otherworldly demons in the outer realm who were causing trouble and had entered the Three Realms with the intention of harming living beings. Fortunately, he had obtained the guidance of the Heavenly Dao and the approval of the Saint. The experts from the three sects of the Dao Sect had emerged. With the high righteousness of Ksitigarbha and the mystical ability of Truth Listener, they had wiped out the otherworldly demons that had sneaked into the Three Realms.

　　In the Heavenly Courts’ official statement, they did not mention the words ‘Western Sect’. However, they praised the high righteousness of Ksitigarbha and the mystical abilities of Truth Listener. Although there was no substantial reward, it gave Ksitigarbha a good reputation.

　　Next, he would have to wait for Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener to return from afar. At that time, they should be especially touched. Ksitigarbha’s expression would probably be especially fun. Unfortunately, Li Changshou could not go to the spiritual mountain and witness it with his own eyes. Would the old Daoists in the Western Sect be jealous of Ksitigarbha because of this?

　　It was impossible. They were all disciples and in-name disciples of the Saints. It was impossible for them to not have such tolerance and not be able to see other people being outstanding… Right?

　　At noon, Li Changshou opened his eyes with a smile in the academy of a large city in the mortal world of the South Continent.

　　The seven young men and women had already had lunch and were packing their lunch boxes. Hua Youming had obviously never done that before. He clumsily wrapped the wooden box and picked up a toothpick to pick his teeth. From time to time, he would look to the side.

　　Xia Ningshuang was drinking tea. Her posture was dignified and elegant. She had the demeanor of a young lady from a wealthy family. “Ahem!”

　　Li Changshou cleared his throat and called out, “Have you decided on your homework?” The seven of them nodded. Hua Youming asked in concern, “Sir, don’t you need to have lunch?”

　　“There’s no need.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m extraordinary. I don’t have to eat.”

　　Paper flew out of Li Changshou’s sleeve and floated in front of the seven of them. “Write down the homework that you want to learn.”

　　The seven people in the same long robes hurriedly took out pen and ink and wrote a few words carefully. Li Changshou took the paper back and held it in his hand.

　　“Poetry, essays, immortal techniques, calculations, and military strategies?” Li Changshou paused and looked at the crooked words. He smiled and said, “Why do you want to learn the art of war?”

　　Hua Youming stood up and cupped his fists at Li Changshou. He looked a little smug and said loudly, “I went home and thought for a night. I already knew what I was missing. There are people in my family who have taught me martial arts techniques, Dao techniques, and Immortal Arts. However, there are not many capable people in my family who know the art of war. You are a paragon and a genius. You must know everything. I must grasp these.”

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “Do you know how different the immortal spells that the cultivators in your residence who are not much different from mortals are from mine?” Hua Youming was stunned. He asked softly, “Is there a huge difference?”

　　“Hahaha.” Li Changshou raised his head and laughed loudly. Hua Youming scratched his head awkwardly.

　　Xia Ningshuang, who was sitting beside him, cursed softly, “Dummy, Master said yesterday that he will teach you the questions we mentioned. Why are you regretting?”

　　Hua Youming glared at Xia Ningshuang. The latter swept her gaze over and the young general cringed.

　　Li Changshou said, “Then let’s set the five tasks temporarily. We’ll talk about the articles and immortal techniques this afternoon. Remember, I will not teach you the technique to increase your lifespan. That will disrupt your life. I will only teach you a simple trapping technique. For example, rope manipulation.” Li Changshou flicked his fingers. Hua Youming’s belt suddenly turned into a rope and tied the fellow up.

　　Hua Youming’s feet swayed, and he could not control his balance in time. He let out a soft cry and smashed towards Xia Ningshuang. Xia Ningshuang was just a weak woman. How could she dodge? Xia Ningshuang closed her eyes and exclaimed. When she opened her eyes again, she happened to see Hua Youming’s slightly stunned face.

　　Then, they looked at each other and subconsciously heard the sound of a heartbeat.

　　The wooden house immediately quietened down. The two young boys and girls in front turned their heads and looked over with concern. A certain young man in the corner lowered his head silently. He felt that it was not a good thing to be chosen by a paragon. In the rocking chair, Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He was happy and at ease. Although the bodies of the two big shots were just experiencing the first awakening of love, they could slowly nurture their relationship after it was established. To be safe, it was good to have more common memories.

　　At that moment, Xia Ningshuang had already snapped back to her senses. Her face turned red as she glared at Hua Youming. “You, why aren’t you getting up!?!” The rope around Hua Youming was instantly untied. He forced himself to calm down and hurriedly jumped up. He clenched his fists and coughed dryly. “I’m sorry I bumped into you. Don’t, don’t be angry…”

　　“Hmph!” Xia Ningshuang snorted coldly and sat down again. She tidied her hair accessories and pretended that nothing had happened. Hua Youming muttered softly, “It’s quite pretty… Ah, don’t misunderstand. I’m talking about the two hairs in your nostrils.”

　　The entire bamboo house fell silent again.

　　Li Changshou, who was originally smiling, blacked out. He almost burned the paper effigy. “Hua Youming!” With an angry shout, Xia Ningshuang grabbed a brush and rushed forward. Hua Youming stood up and ran. The two of them chased and fought in the bamboo hut.

　　The two couples, who were already engaged or destined to be married, looked at each other with a smile. Li Changshou did not stop them. He recalled the scene of his youth. In the corner, a certain “person” who was fooling around seemed to have nothing to do with him. He laid on the table quietly.

　　It was all fate…

　　No, we can’t believe in fate! I, Yang Tianyou, must counterattack in the future!
