The Three Pure Ones' Midnight Plot! The Strongest Pet-Snatching Plan in History!

At the Kunlun Mountain Peak, the moonlight was like water.

After Lin Shen had eaten and drunk his fill, Nuwa back to the small bed made of Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade and Thousand-Year Cloud Brocade.

The little guy was sleeping on his back with his legs in the air, drooling, and occasionally smacking his lips, as if he was still savoring the delicious food that Hongjun had conjured up in his dreams.

However, the Dao Palace of the Three Pure Ones was brightly lit.

Three top-tier figures who had just entered the Late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal were sitting around a stone table.

They all looked worried and sighed.

There were no celestial fruits or spiritual teas on the table, only a deathly silence and despair.

"Big brother, Second Brother, we can't live like this anymore!"

In the end, it was the most straightforward of them all, the Tongtian Jiaozhu, who slammed his hand on the table, breaking the silence.

His face was filled with grief and indignation, and his voice carried an unspeakable grievance.

"You all saw it! That old man Hongjun just slept with my disciple, and when he woke up, he had some food!"

"My disciple's big burp boosted his cultivation level!"

"That's the very essence of Pangu's Heart Blood! The purest and most powerful flow!"

The more the Tongtian Jiaozhu spoke, the angrier he became, feeling pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

That was a burp from his precious apprentice!

Why should someone else get the biggest advantage?

"I painstakingly trained my apprentices, captured Chaos Giant Beast to make teppanyaki, and plundered three thousand powerful beings to exchange for toys!"

"And what happened? The little bit of essence I got wasn't even enough to fill that old man's teeth!"

"What kind of mess is this?! I feel like I'm the biggest victim of injustice!"

The more the Tongtian Jiaozhu thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and his eyes turned red.

The face of the Yuanshi Tianzun was even darker than his.

He snorted coldly, his voice laced with barely suppressed sarcasm. "You have the nerve to say that? Your meager foundation was only achieved thanks to my disciple's blessing!"

"And you? Aren't you in an even worse situation?"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately retorted, "What a waste of time and effort to organize Treasure Hunt Game! In the end, you didn't even get any treasures, and you were even made to vomit blood by the pressure of the Father God!"

"In the end, wasn't it only thanks to my apprentice's burp that he broke through?"

"You tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead! Shameful! Utterly shameful!"

"You!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was struck on a sore spot, and in his anger, he slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his Jade Purity Immortal Light beginning to waver.

"Tongtian! If you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll use the Pangu Banner to rip up your dilapidated temple!"

"Come on! Who's afraid of who! I'll use you to test my newly acquired sword!"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Taiqing Laozi, who had been silent all along, finally let out a heavy sigh.

"Sit down, all of you!"

Taiqing Laozi's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority.

Although Yuanshi and Tongtian were still glaring at each other, they reluctantly sat back down.

"Noisy! Noisy! Noisy! All you do is argue!"

Taiqing Laozi looked at his two younger brothers with exasperation. "Will arguing win back our disciple's favor? Will arguing make Hongjun spit out the essence he has ingested?"

"What should we do then?!"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu said with a wronged expression, "We can't just stand by and watch that old man steal our beautiful young lady, can we?"

"Eldest brother, third brother is right."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded with a stern face. "Hongjun may seem rigid, but he is actually very cunning. He has tasted success this time, and he will definitely go to even greater lengths to curry favor with Lin Shen in the future."

"If we don't come up with a solution soon, it won't be long before Lin Shen Can only think about his Grandpa Hongjun and no longer care about us three Masters."

The thought of that possibility made Three Pure Ones's heart clench with pain.

That was a precious little thing they had nurtured from a tiny sprout, with every drop of poop and pee... no, with every breath of Innate Pure Qi and every drop of Innate Sweet Dew!

How could we let someone else steal it?

"Brother, you're the wisest, please give me an idea!"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at Laozi of the Taiqing with anticipation.

Taiqing Laozi stroked his meticulously groomed white beard and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a wise light shining in them.

"Second brother, third brother, I think our previous approach was wrong."

"Wrong?"

Both Yuanshi and Tongtian were taken aback.

"That's right."

Taiqing Laozi nodded, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"Before, all we thought about was Lin Shen. I gave him pills, you gave him magic weapons, and our third brother gave him toys and food."

"We were like three ordinary parents who were afraid that their child wouldn't have enough to eat or wear, so we desperately tried to cram what we thought was the best things into his life."

"But we overlooked the most important point."

"What?"

"So, what does Lin Shen himself really want?"

Taiqing Laozi said, word by word.

Why was Hongjun so favored by Lin Shen? Was it really because the dishes he transformed into were delicious?

"No!"

Taiqing Laozi shook his head. "Tongtian, the teppanyaki you make is definitely no worse than his. So why did Lin Shen Can ultimately give the biggest benefit to Hongjun?"

"Because what Hongjun gave was more than just food."

What he gave was companionship.

The words of Taiqing Laozi struck Yuanshi and Tongtian like a heavy hammer.

Yes.

During those thousand years in the Zixiao Palace, although they also spared some of their divine sense to pay attention to Lin Shen, most of their minds were still immersed in enlightenment.

And what about Hongjun?

He, a dignified Sage, actually held Lin Shen in his arms for a thousand years, using him as a pillow and cradle!

Lin Shen fell asleep, and he carefully adjusted his position.

Lin Shen drooled, so he gently cleaned it up with his magic.

Lin Shen woke up, and the first thing he did was conjure up some delicious food.

This meticulous and selfless companionship was what truly touched Lin Shen's pure, childlike heart.

"I see!"

The Tongtian Jiaozhu slapped his thigh, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

"Big brother, you mean we can't just be Santa Claus and give him presents!"

"We want to be his bodyguard and full-time playmate!"

(Don't ask, they just saw other mortal realms. It's for entertainment, don't take it seriously, everyone.)

"We need to get involved in his life! We need to make him feel at all times that we are the ones who care about him the most and understand him the most!"

"That's right!"

Yuanshi Tianzun also realized what was happening, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"If Hongjun can do it, surely the three of us brothers can do it together?"

"He can hold his disciple while preaching, so can I hold my disciple while studying formations!"

"If he can conjure food for his apprentice, then I can conjure a world where my apprentice can eat!"

"From today onwards, we must change course! We can no longer rely on simply feeding them resources!"

Yuanshi Tianzun felt that he had found a completely new direction for "involution".

"So, our next plan is..."

Looking at his two younger brothers, whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, Taiqing Laozi smiled with satisfaction.

He slowly explained his plan.

"First, we need to understand our apprentice's preferences and then cater to them on a deeper level."

"Secondly, we need to increase interaction with our apprentices and create more unique shared memories."

"Finally, and most importantly."

Taiqing Laozi's voice became exceptionally solemn. "We must make him accept us from the bottom of his heart, rely on us, and feel that our Kunlun Mountain is his only and warmest home!"

The Three Pure Ones exchanged a glance, and each saw a raging fire burning in the other's eyes.

A more comprehensive, multi-dimensional, and even more insane "Pet-Snatching Plan Lin Shen's favor" quietly took shape on this quiet night.

They decided that starting tomorrow, they would show that old fox Hongjun what it meant to be a "personal Master" with Dimensional Strike!

What they didn't know was...

Because of Lin Shen's newly upgraded "Profound Fortune" passive talent.

Their plans will be implemented... with extraordinary ease in the future.

Their success was so great that it made them start to doubt their own existence.

The next morning, Taiqing Laozi was the first to take action.

He decided to start with his expertise in Pill Dao and fire the first shot in his "counterattack to regain favor"!

He was going to refine an unprecedented, super elixir that would make Lin Shen fall completely in love with him!
