Lingering Problems from Mythology

"By the way, Sue, have you discovered any interesting aspects of the world during your previous observations?"

"Um... does discovering a female version of myself count?" Su scratched his head. To be honest, after so many years of observation, he hadn't actually gained much. He had accumulated a lot of knowledge himself. "But it seems to be a villain."

"So, did she find out about you in return?"

"No... no, right?"

Su knew what Mei was asking.

"I didn't find anything about the Chariot of a Thousand Worlds on her."

"The Chariot of a Thousand Worlds doesn't necessarily have to be shaped like a train engine." Mei put down her pen.

If it were anything else, I would just listen and let it go, but observing a female version of Su makes things interesting.

Perhaps some kind of connection has already been established, but this kind of thing is more like metaphysics than science. After all, the barriers between worlds are not so easy to overcome, and things between worlds are still at the level of "just looking and knowing".

"That doesn't matter. So what if she causes trouble?"

Su became more serious.

"At worst, we can have the mistresses join in. As long as it's not the Finality, they'll definitely crush it."

"... If you dare to call me 'Master's Wife' after you leave, I'll skin you alive."

Mei said softly.

Sue is no pushover either; she might be just as quick to abandon her principles as Kevin.

Once you taste the sweetness of something, you can't stop.

"I understand, I understand."

Su nodded as he decided to specifically seek out a powerful figure that Mei couldn't afford to offend.

Yes, characters like Eden and Elysia would be very suitable.

Well, to be honest, it's kind of tempting to have a female version of myself as my teacher's wife.

Wow... why do I suddenly have this exhilarating feeling of about to become a maternal relative?

It seems like it's not impossible?

"Then I'll go to work now, I won't bother you any longer, senior sister."

While nodding seriously, Su was secretly plotting something completely inappropriate.

Logically speaking, he should find a way to repay his teacher for the great kindness he has received.

Thinking about it carefully, he and Kevin had troubled their teacher quite a bit over the years, but they hadn't shown any filial piety towards their teacher.

Repayment is not required, but as a disciple, I cannot fail to be grateful!

But the problem is, Kevin is incredibly lucky, he sold off his descendants... And let's be honest, I can choose a successor who is Kevin's descendant, isn't that a bit too outrageous?

As for Bianka, well, Sue is genuinely satisfied with Bianka, but the fact that she turns out to be Kevin's descendant makes Sue feel like she has some kind of inescapable karmic ties with that bastard Kevin.

He was very upset and jealous. He had no descendants, and no matter how much he cursed Kevin for his good luck and shamelessness, he couldn't sell his own descendants.

But from another perspective, selling oneself seems like a viable option, since Su, judging others by her own standards, would definitely assume that the female version of herself in that world is also single...

Moreover, Su didn't know the other party, who seemed to be a villainous boss. Considering all of this, Su felt that she could sell her other self without any pressure.

"Hiss... Why do I feel a little cold?"

Mei shivered and turned the air conditioner up two degrees.

"I feel like I'm missing something... Is it just my imagination?"

"Aaaaaah! I just woke up! Why do I have to work again?!"

Danzhu was rolling around on the floor in Liu Bai's office.

"This..." Xiao Yun scratched his head, "This young lady is..."

"Nüwa." Fu Hua turned her head expressionlessly. This girl was too embarrassing. "You can just call her Danzhu. This lady over here is Danzhu's older sister, Fuxi, Cangxuan."

"..."

At this moment, Xiao Yun felt immense pressure. As a Daoist master, was there something wrong with facing such a legendary ancient god?

Fortunately, Xiao Yun was a Daoist master, not a Daoist religious figure, so... it's alright?

What a load of rubbish! These two are both destined to be sacrificed!

"And this one." Fu Hua pointed to Ji Lin, who was carrying documents like a maid. "Ji Lin, also known as Ji Xuanyuan."

"..."

Okay, so he's just the Yellow Emperor.

The Daoist principle of tranquility and non-action means that one's state of mind will not Honkai by such a small matter.

However, compared to Xiao Yun, the girls of the Tai Xu Sword Sect were also on the verge of losing their composure. Well, the most composed was Su Mei; there was a reason she was the leader of the Tai Xu Sword Sect.

"This is my teacher, the Heavenly Emperor in mythology... um, the Jade Lord God."

Fu Hua finished speaking, Xiao Yun felt a little dizzy and almost couldn't stand up.

This group of people is really outrageous!

"It's really nothing, just don't treat us like gods."

Liu Bai spoke nonchalantly, for the people of the Shenzhou faction, the identities of himself and his group were indeed somewhat shocking.

"We're all human. Back then, we were forced to become gods... Oh, Hua was mentally impaired back then, so it doesn't count."

"... Is it necessary to become a god?"

Xiao Yun paused for a moment, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I have no choice but to become a god... wonderful, wonderful, the highest good is to not contend..."

With just this one sentence, Xiao Yun realized what it truly meant to be Ruoshui the highest form of goodness... The level of understanding in this sentence far surpassed that of Hua back then.

Xiao Yun even felt that he might have confused "the highest good Ruoshui" with "heaven and earth are ruthless" at the time.

Fu Hua at that time could be described as "ruthless"—meaning she treated all things... or rather, all things except demons, equally.

Um... as for the "brain-dead" thing, Xiao Yun pretended not to hear it...

Hearing this really makes my resolve crumble...

Chapter 493 Mythological Legacy Issues

Even though Xiao Yun had already seen through the ways of the world, he didn't want to admit that he had discussed Tao with idiots and then attained enlightenment. It would be too shameful to admit it.

"May I ask, Liu Bai, what can I do?"

Pretending not to hear Liu Bai's teasing of Fu Hua, Xiao Yun asked.

Her quiet and inactive nature doesn't prevent her from contributing to humanity at this time.

"What are your skills?" Liu Bai glanced at Xiao Yun, as it was not common for someone to volunteer for work.

"Murder, teaching."

Xiao Yun uttered two completely different words, while a hint of red light shone in his azure pupils.

Liu Bai understood at a glance: Xiao Yun could switch to red-clothed mode?

By the way, in the game, the old version of Li Er's story is that he has a dual personality and is even a corrupted boss who has lived for more than two hundred years.

Although Xiao Yun's story has nothing to do with Li Er, the two sides of the same coin might mean that Xiao Yun inherited some of Li Er's characteristics.

"... With your combat ability, you shouldn't be killing people. Do some paperwork. I'm organizing the cultural fusion of the two civilizations here, so you can come and help out."

The red-clad swordsman Xiao Yun looks intimidating, but times have changed. Xiao Yun himself doesn't know the Tai Xu sword technique, and his combat power in his red-clad state is probably only enough to bully B-rank Valkyrie.

However, this person is one of the few truly cultured individuals, a genuine Daoist master and great thinker. His poor fighting ability does not prevent him from being useful.

Her cultural prowess is top-notch, and her debating skills are absolutely top-notch—or rather, most people who can out-argue her can't beat her, and those who can beat her don't have her brains.

Now that the warriors of the Previous Era have awakened, Liu Bai is working on cultural integration to allow the two sides to merge more closely together.

Moreover, this is not difficult, since his descendants continue to appear in history, and all we need to do is find traces of them.

However, there are no professionals doing the work right now... Even Danzhu can only be considered a pseudo-professional. He has a broad knowledge base, but his depth in one area is average. He is obviously not as good as Xiao Yun in this respect.

Xiao Yun agreed after a moment's thought.

Although I say I don't mind the gods and immortals in these myths and legends, it's not bad to have the opportunity to work with them.

Moreover, as a true great thinker, Xiao Yun also needed to understand the ideas of later generations.

If Liu Bai really asked her to kill someone, she would be at a loss.

"Su Mei, stay and help your master too."

Su Mei chuckled softly at this moment.

"While my disciples may not be able to fully organize the classics, I am confident that I can fill in the gaps and Su Mei up for any omissions."

She realized that her master's side was short-handed, and she happened to be able to do the work. Such an opportunity was rare.

"Then I'll do it too," Qin Suyi said. "Suying... can also fill in the gaps."

Cheng Lingshuang and Li Sushang looked at the two people and opened their mouths, but in the end they didn't say anything.

Damn it, who told them to be the kind of people who are clueless—they have some knowledge, but not much.

However, Li Sushang's mind was clearly quicker. "Grandmaster, Grandmaster! Sushang can help you move things!"

She glanced around and saw that her own aunts, second aunts, Liu Bai, Danzhu, Cangxuan, and Xiao Yun were the ones who did the work, while Ji Lin was the one who did odd jobs.

With so many people working, how can one general helper be enough?

"Susang, can you even see where you're going when you're carrying things? I'd better do this."

Cheng Lingshuang held Li Sushang Chang down.

That brat, she even tried to run away?

Cheng Lingshuang's words were a double taunt—first mocking Li Sushang for having too big a chest, making it impossible for her to see where she was going when she was carrying something.

Although it's not appropriate for a mother to say this, Cheng Lingshuang and Li Sushang usually get along like sisters, so she spoke without any reservations.

But Li Sushang was not ashamed but proud, and straightened her chest.

"Since you can see me, then show me the way!"

Looking at Li Sushang's shameless behavior, Cheng Lingshuang felt a strong urge to draw her sword.

"Su Mei, how did you raise this girl?"

Fu Hua, who was also affected by the "small breasts" meme, glanced at Su Mei.

Su Mei simply gave an awkward but polite smile.

Su Mei admits that the girl is a bit ugly and is willing to take the blame, but the problem is, why should Fu Hua say that?

The grandmaster came over and said it was about right.

Fu Hua turned her head to the side when Su Mei looked at her, and then her aura changed.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

Fu Hua wore a smug expression as he glanced sideways at Su Mei.

Well, Fu Hua has let Shibao join the party.

Su Mei felt she really didn't know whether to say Fu Hua was thin-skinned or thick-skinned.

However, for Su Mei, dealing with a fool like Shibao was better than dealing with her own master.

"Master, how can you speak like that in front of the patriarch?"

"Um... cough cough, what I mean is it's okay, I've already looked at it."

Shibao immediately changed his tune and then rushed to Liu Bai's side.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, what are you doing?" Shibao shoved Cangxuan aside and put on a fawning expression. "Let's go out and have some fun. Work is so boring."

"..."
