Wu Yazi in Pieces

Translation: Young master is not that kind of person; he wouldn't be your sister's gigolo.

My honest opinion: You're so handsome, I'll believe anything you say.

Xiaoyaozi by their appearance; those who are not good-looking are not worthy of becoming his disciples.

Naturally, his apprentices also judged him by his looks.

In the original novel, even when Wu Yazi was at his wit's end, he almost gave up on Xu Zhu because of Xu Zhu's appearance.

Although Wu Xingyun in this world is more devoted to martial arts Curse Technique, and Li Canghai has developed a repulsion towards men, especially handsome men, because of Wu Yazi, they still subconsciously like them.

It's just that no man is handsome enough to break down their psychological defenses.

And now, such a man has appeared.

If you were to ask Li Lin, also known as Basil, what he is best at, he might say he is good at the spiritual realm, about the subconscious and the magic of dreams.

But in reality, his most outstanding feature is his captivating face and the alluring aura he exudes from the most subtle details.

This has transcended the level of men and women; it has almost reached the level of Tao.

To put it simply, even if Li Lin seals all his memories and power, he can still use his charisma alone to manipulate all things in nature to cast spells.

For Wu Xingyun and Li Canghai, who were obsessed with martial arts, Curse Technique, and pursuing the Great Dao, this was practically a maxed-out special attack.

The fact that they could remain so reserved for so long, chatting and joking around, already shows their extraordinary willpower.

So when Li Canghai said that Li Lin would not have an impure relationship with his sister, Wu Xingyun quickly followed up, saying, "That's right. Such a refined and elegant gentleman is indeed not someone your sister, a person of this corrupt world, can even dream of."

"Grandma—cough, I am Wu Xingyun. I have met you, young master. May I ask how you should address me? You may call me Xingyun. Yun'er is fine." As she spoke, she subconsciously twirled the ends of her hair with her fingertips. Perhaps fearing that it was not convincing enough, she added, "I am the Palace Master of the Lingjiu Palace."

Li Canghai: Still a young lady?

The image of her senior sister, who was devoted to martial arts and arrogant and domineering, shattered instantly. First, she kept changing her posture to show off her charm, then she used words to close the distance, and now she is showing off her family wealth. How is this any different from the behavior of a playboy meeting a virtuous woman?

"This humble woman is Li Canghai, and greets you, sir."

"What a clever little devil! Still calling herself a 'young lady'? How old are you?" Wu Xingyun suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. "Canghai is my junior sister. She's all alone and helpless. I hope you, young master, will forgive her rudeness."

Translation: My junior sister isn't from a wealthy family or holds a high position like mine; she's all alone. Young master, you shouldn't even consider her; look at me!

"Senior Sister (several words), how could I have been so rude? It's been so many years since we last met, we've become so distant." Li Canghai feigned weakness.

"Sigh," Wu Xingyun sighed, "This has nothing to do with you. It's just that every time I see you, I think of that sister who looks exactly like you. She married her junior brother but didn't think about being a good wife and mother. Instead, she sought out a handsome young man to be intimate with and spite her junior brother. After her junior brother passed away, she married far away to Western Xia for wealth and glory. Sigh~ It's just that you are too much like Qiu Shui."

Li Canghai: I have no problems, but you're dragging my sister into this, right?

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Lin slightly suppressed his wicked pleasure. "I am Li Lin, sisters. Please do not let me harm the bond between my fellow disciples and put me in an unjust position."

"It has nothing to do with you, young master." Wu Xingyun glanced at Li Canghai. "It has something to do with Qiu Shui."

"Since Senior Sister says so, then I'll take it as true," Li Canghai said, feigning grievance and covering his face.

"That bitch is so pretentious, "Wu Xingyun almost blurted out.

Li Lin's mischievous side almost resurfaced. The contrast between Li Canghai's somewhat heroic and elegant demeanor and her teasing remarks was even more striking.

Therefore, his dragon nature almost relapsed, and his undying Golden Eyes nearly Human World.

Logically speaking, someone who has complete self-control and manages both positive and negative emotions shouldn't be in this state.

But right now, what's appearing beside the two isn't a projection of Li Lin's quantum state.

In the world of martial arts, one must use martial arts techniques.

This is Li Lin's "The God-Demon Unity Chapter," a split-off [Demon Body], a personification of the yin aspect of the universe. Li Lin is more emotional and obsessed with desire.

If the divine body hadn't been nearby, the [demon body] would have already indulged its desires, unleashed its demonic nature, beaten the two to their knees, and taken them back to work as stars.

But even with the constraints of the divine body, the [demon body] began to unleash its charm even more openly.

Having practiced Zen for many years and long since freed herself from worldly desires, Li Canghai has reverted to the mindset of a young girl, casting aside all the shadows of her childhood. She has only one thought: to win the heart and body of the man before her.

Having been single for many years and only knowing how to practice martial arts, Wu Xingyun's desires, which she had suppressed for nearly eighty years, poured out like a flood breaking through a dam. Unbeknownst to her, her hand was already on Li Lin's left arm, completely disregarding the fact that her subordinates were secretly watching from behind.

However, the core of the "God-Demon Unity Chapter" chapter is not the so-called "divine body" and "demon body," but the Eternity struggle between divinity and demonic nature, reason and emotion, and the sun and the moon.

The pursuit of a unity of gods and demons, or the combination of yin and yang, is not the goal; that would be too weak. What Li Lin seeks is progress brought about by self-examination and self-struggle.

So, as the [Demon Body] exuded its charm, inside the bamboo house, Li Lin, who had somehow become solemn and dignified, lightly tapped the table, "Welcome, both of you."

The voice seemed to descend from the nine heads, entering the hearts of the two.

The moment the sound reached them, the two figures arrived inside the bamboo house.

God defeated the demon, and the demon's body disappeared like a picture erased by an eraser, vanishing from everyone's memory. Only Li Canghai and Wu Xingyun, who were infected by the demon's power, still remembered it.

The memories of the Lingjiu Palace members were distorted into the Palace Master being invited by his junior sister to go to the bamboo house across the street.

Upon noticing the two figures exuding a terrifying aura, Qiao Feng felt no remorse towards them.

Inside the bamboo house.

Gaga~

Wu Yazi was so frightened that he cawed like a crow and quickly flew down to a branch.

"Young Master Li?" Li Canghai regained his senses, first feeling shy, then puzzled. "Why is this some kind of Curse Technique?"

As Wu Xingyun's junior sister, she had experienced being carried through space by her.

My whole body was squeezed, as if I were moving through a very cramped pipe.

Just now, everything went black.

"Who is your mother?" With her senses restored, Wu Xingyun didn't dare look at Li Lin. Instead, she vented her anger on the others in the room. She immediately noticed Wang Yuyan, who had the same face as Li Qiushui, and then felt a pang of jealousy. "Young Master Li, is she your wife?"

"So what if it is?" Huang Rong defiantly grabbed Li Lin's arm. "Brother Lin belongs to me and Yu Yan."

"Yu Yan?" Li Canghai belatedly noticed her 'niece'. For some reason, she was secretly delighted when she saw this face. "I am Qiu Shui's sister, your aunt."

Another prominent feature of the Xiaoyao School's martial arts is that their appearance remains unchanged, which makes it easy to confuse the hierarchy.

Ding Chunqiu may seem to prefer mature women, as he is with his master's wife who is decades older than him. However, in his eyes, this is equivalent to dating a woman his own age, only with the added taboo status of his master's wife. Moreover, the Xiaoyao School values freedom and is not bound by rules and etiquette.

Wang Yuyan realized this as well and hurriedly explained, "My mother is Li Qingluo, and Li Qiushui is my maternal grandmother."

Li Canghai stumbled. She could understand the man who snatched her niece, but adding another generation... she wasn't Li Qiushui after all, and she couldn't accept it for a moment.

Wu Xingyun, however, carried on the tradition of the Xiaoyao School and didn't care at all. On the contrary, she felt it was even better and more exciting.

This at least rules out a sordid relationship between Li Lin and Li Qiushui.

She had fewer worries.

So, having some free time, he asked, "Are you the Crow Venerable? Did you write the 'Curse Scripture'? What is your relationship with the Xiaoyao School?"

As the Palace Master of the Lingjiu Palace, she naturally knew that Crow Venerable had killed Ding Chunqiu and taken in two female disciples.

Therefore, she began to suspect whether Crow Venerable was Wu Yazi's disciple or grand-disciple.

Wu Yazi, who was called out, sighed, "Senior Sister, it's me."

His last act of defiance was not to revert to human form.

"You're not dead?" Wu Xingyun asked in surprise.

"Why did you allow my sister to remarry?" Li Canghai asked with dissatisfaction.

Translation: Because of your negligence, my sister remarried, thus tarnishing my position in Young Master Li's heart.

Wu Yazi sneered, "You should also ask Qiu Shui why she was killed by Ding Chunqiu for disregarding my disciple?"

"Isn't this normal?" Wu Xingyun said casually. "Li Qiushui and Ding Chunqiu had an affair. Now that you're dead, it's natural that she and Ding Chunqiu are even closer. Why should she care about your disciples and grand-disciples who only know how to paint, play chess, and grow flowers and plants?"

"The fact that she didn't remarry Ding Chunqiu is a testament to her love for him."

The truth can hurt the most.

Wu Yazi's heart shattered. "According to my senior sister, I should thank her?"

Li Canghai comforted her, "My sister and Ding Chunqiu, as well as the handsome young men she found, haven't really gone all the way. If you really don't want to be cuckolded, why didn't you kill Ding Chunqiu and go find my sister instead of letting her remarry?"

"Could it be that you're already past your prime, Wu Yazi?" Wu Xingyun looked him up and down.

In a way, Wu Xingyun has revealed the truth.

But Wu Yazi did not think so.

What didn't work in the past doesn't mean it won't work now.

Shame overcame his fear when questioned about not being a man, Wu Yazi appeared in human form!

He walked several steps with his hands behind his back, even using the Lightness Skill of "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique), saying, "I'm fine! I just don't want to see that poisonous woman again."

"Grandfather." Wang Yuyan stood up, feeling that this made her maternal grandfather seem too childish.

Every martial arts master is a master of human biomechanics.

"Then it seems that your problem is psychological."

Judging from Wu Yazi's movements, Wu Xingyun deduced that Wu Yazi still had two ounces of flesh left.

"That's great! I mean, it's so good that you're alright, Senior Brother."

Li Canghai could tell from Wang Yuyan's figure that she was still a virgin and unmarried. A smile reappeared on his face. Since he was unmarried and you were unmarried, it was only right for me to make a move.

Does the vast ocean hold me in its heart?

Wu Yazi got carried away and took a few more steps.

If Huang Rong knew what Wu Yazi was thinking, she would definitely say, "Crow Lord, you are truly blind."

Even the somewhat dim-witted Wang Yuyan could see that her aunt coveted Li Lin.

"Canghai." Wu Yazi picked up his feather fan and, like a peacock in heat, tidied his hair and clothes. "Your sister's matter has nothing to do with you and me. You don't need to care."

Li Canghai only took in half of what he said: that it was about her own sister and wouldn't affect her.

Then

In a flash, Li Canghai sat down in the spot where Wang Yuyan had just been—right next to Li Lin on his right.

"Young Master Li, since Senior Brother has put it that way..."

Although Li Canghai's body, enhanced by the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School and modified by her Human Transfiguration, was indistinguishable from that of a young woman in her twilight years, in her eyes, this was a love affair in her twilight years.

Since you're already in a late-life romance, just be direct and don't beat around the bush or drag things out.

"I'm interested in you, what about you?"

Wu Xingyun has always been competitive. After Xiaoyaozi handed over the sect leadership that 'belonged' to her to Wu Yazi, she was able to ignore them for decades. So when she saw Li Canghai's actions, she quickly followed suit and said, "I am the same as my junior sister."

The true young Huang Rong, "You—"

Although she was bolder than Wang Yuyan, she broke down because she only dared to express her feelings through food.

"How could you do this? How could you do this?" Wang Yuyan was on the verge of tears.

Wu Yazi, who initially thought Li Canghai liked him, suddenly lost his ability to speak.

After Li Lin's divinity defeated the demonic nature, it did not erase it.

He still harbored a fearful heart.

So.

"A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections." Li Lin nodded.

Huang Rong, who had recently used this allusion to cook Clear Heart: Ahhh, don't use that phrase!

Wu Xingyun was initially delighted, but then frowned. "I am still Canghai."

Overconfident, she even considered her age an advantage.

Therefore, she didn't consider Wang Yuyan and Huang Rong, those two young girls, as enemies at all.

Li Lin shook his head. "Xingyun, your love is too narrow. I am not exclusively yours. If that were the case, you would never have had the chance to love me later. Why don't you transform your small love into a greater love? Don't you want to be with Canghai, Yuyan, Rong'er, and the others?"

If someone else said that, they would definitely get beaten up.

Wu Xingyun used the Life and Death Talisman to torment many such dissolute and unfaithful men.

But according to Li Lin, Wu Xingyun instead recalled the happy life he had with Qiu Shui and Cang Hai (without Wu Yazi) in his childhood.

So she pursed her lips slightly and said, "Fine, you little devil."

Get the Lingjiu Palace Master who can switch between loli, teenage girl, and young woman body types!

As for Li Canghai...

She thought to herself that at her age, there was no point in fussing over anything, so she added, "If it's Senior Sister, then I have no objection either."

Wang Yuyan nodded.

Huang Rong snorted, "If Brother Lin doesn't mind, then Rong'er has nothing to say."

Wu Yazi's heart shattered even more. Could it really be like this?

If Xiaoyaozi were here, he would definitely beat Wu Yazi up.

You're the only man among your four apprentices.

They're all handsome men and beautiful women, and they're even passing on to you the most powerful "Bei Ming Divine Skill".

They even planned to make you the sect leader.

Isn't that exactly what it's all for?

As a result, you failed and caused the sect to fall apart.

Wu Yazi was unaware that Xiaoyaozi wanted to kill him. Having suffered setbacks in his love life and damaged his self-esteem, he desperately needed to find an elder to comfort him.

"Cang—Junior Sister, do you know where Master is?"

Translation: I've found my master. I'm going to complain to him and have a good cry.
