Come! Lie Down, Let's Discuss Something Serious

At the banquet.

After the Exquisite Holy Lord left, everyone became unrestrained, offering toasts one after another, and saying all sorts of nice things. They were all talented people, and Lu Changsheng drank for a full hour.

Fortunately, this wine doesn't make you drunk.

However, Lu Changsheng now understood why Tang Sanzang insisted on leaving the Daughter Kingdom and embarking on his journey to the West.

Imagine having countless women surrounding you. To put it bluntly, at first you might feel surprised, excited, and happy, but soon you'll become numb, silent, and miserable.

Therefore, we can no longer stay in the Exquisite Holy Land.

After tomorrow's Longevity Feast celebration, I'd like to leave as soon as possible.

However, what did Exquisite Holy Lord mean by patting her shoulder three times just now?

Does he boast about being handsome and talented?

Or should I encourage myself?

Lu Changsheng had a feeling that something was amiss, as if there was some hidden secret.

At the banquet.

As Lu Changsheng drank, he pondered the matter in his heart.

It wasn't until Zi Time.

Lu Changsheng suddenly shuddered.

He had an idea.

Isn't this scene from Journey to the Journey to the West?

Patriarch Bodhi patted Sun Wukong's head three times, telling Sun Wukong to come find him in the middle of the night.

Hiss!

Has the Exquisite Holy Lord also watched Journey to the West?

Uh, that's probably impossible.

That was probably just a casual pat on the shoulder, right?

But what if they actually let me go?

What would one do there in the middle of the night?

Should we eat downstairs?

Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought once again.

Around 1 AM, Lu Changsheng, unable to hold his liquor, decided to leave.

However, as soon as he said he couldn't hold his liquor, all the Linglong disciples stood up one by one, vying to take Lu Changsheng back.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Lu Changsheng pulled Qian Yunrou along.

He insisted that Qian Yunrou take him.

Qian Yunrou, being accommodating, nodded and got up to escort Lu Changsheng back.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Lu Changsheng walked out of the main hall.

A cool breeze blew by, making people feel much calmer and more clear-headed.

Qian Yunrou remained silent the entire way.

At this moment, the Exquisite Holy Land is utterly peaceful. As night falls, all things are silent.

There wasn't even a sound of insects chirping, which calmed my mind considerably.

Throughout the journey, Lu Changsheng pondered the meaning behind Exquisite Holy Lord patting him on the shoulder three times.

Should I go find her myself in the middle of the night?

Did you bring that item yourself, or Exquisite Holy Lord already prepared it?

Lu Changsheng was lost in all sorts of wild thoughts.

And so, very quickly, half an incense stick later, Lu Changsheng arrived at his residence.

"Senior Brother Lu, you should get some rest. Tomorrow is Senior Brother Lu's Longevity Feast, so I hope you'll be well-rested."

Qian Yunrou said calmly.

"Alright, Junior Sister Qian, you should go and get some rest too."

Lu Changsheng nodded, then watched Qian Yunrou leave before going inside.

The room was clean and tidy, and it also had a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Lying on the soft bed, Lu Changsheng looked at the ceiling and pondered some things.

It's been more than three months since I came down the mountain. Scenes flash through my mind as if they happened just yesterday, but in reality, three months have indeed passed.

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast!"

I wonder how Qing Feng is doing now.

Lu Changsheng was somewhat worried, but when he thought about how Qing Feng had taken all the Spirit Stone with him, he inexplicably hoped that Qing Feng would suffer a bit and, if he was lucky, end up in a barren land where he couldn't spend the Spirit Stone.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Changsheng felt slightly better.

After thinking about Liu Qingfeng, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but think of the three pats on the shoulder that the Exquisite Holy Lord had given him at the end.

"What exactly does it mean?"

Lu Changsheng frowned.

However, the image of the Exquisite Holy Lord involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

She is beautiful and has a great presence.

If only I were five thousand years younger!

The Exquisite Holy Lord is perfect in every way; whether it's her appearance, personality, or figure, there's truly nothing to criticize.

The only issue is age.

However, upon closer reflection, although the Exquisite Holy Lord six thousand years old, she has a very youthful mindset. More importantly, this is a world of cultivation, not the mortal realm.

For a normal Bandit Cultivator, they can live for at least tens of thousands of years. If it's someone like Qingyun Daoist, living for 20,000 years is no problem at all.

In other words, from the perspective of the Exquisite Holy Lord, she is actually only thirty years old.

It's like the Exquisite Holy Maiden, who hid in a cave and went into seclusion. When she came out, a thousand years had passed.

From a biological perspective, this is indeed a thousand years old, but from a rational perspective, it's actually only sixteen or seventeen.

Just like immortals in a higher plane, they might sleep for tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, age is not really a factor, because if you truly age, your skin will still wrinkle and your Blood Qi will decline.

Currently, the Exquisite Holy Lord is indeed a woman in her early thirties.

The best years of one's life are also the time when one is most mature.

Huh? Why am I thinking about these questions?

Lu Changsheng was taken aback. He realized that he had inexplicably started thinking in this direction.

This isn't right.

Just then, a voice slowly rang out.

"What are you thinking about so late at night instead of sleeping?"

A sound rang out.

Lu Changsheng blurted out, "I was wondering if the Exquisite Holy Lord had cast a spell on me?"

In an instant, Lu Changsheng jumped up from the bed.

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in the room.

It is the Exquisite Holy Lord.

She was wearing a white silk gauze dress—yes, a gauze dress—that looked incredibly soft and smooth, and was simply draped over her body.

"Holy Lord?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat taken aback.

Why are you suddenly appearing in my room so late at night?

What do you want to do?

Lu Changsheng's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"What? You still call me Holy Lord?"

Exquisite Holy Lord spoke, her eyes filled with amusement, as she looked at Lu Changsheng and said this.

Huh? What should we call him if not Holy Lord?

"Senior, what brings you here so late at night? I'd like to rest."

Lu Changsheng looked slightly embarrassed and did not answer Exquisite Holy Lord's question.

"You came to see if you were satisfied with your Changsheng, Martial Nephew Changsheng. Your master told me to take good care of you, since you are his only disciple. If I neglect you even slightly, given your master's temper, he will definitely cause trouble for me before his ascension."

"The Exquisite Holy Lord joked."

"You flatter me, senior."

Lu Changsheng chuckled awkwardly.

However, the Exquisite Holy Lord slowly walked up to Lu Changsheng, then smiled with a hint of playfulness and something different about her.

"Chang Sheng, although I am six thousand years older than you, I have been in seclusion for more than five thousand nine hundred years. If you really count, I am only thirty years old. You keep calling me 'senior'. It's fine in formal occasions, but calling me like that in private makes me feel old. Shouldn't you change how you address me?"

As the Exquisite Holy Lord spoke, she moved very close, and an indescribable fragrance wafted into her nostrils. It smelled wonderful and made her feel a little itchy inside.

Lu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine.

Holy Lord, we really can't hold it in any longer!

No joke!

However, the next moment, the Exquisite Holy Lord smiled slightly, flicked Lu Changsheng's brow, and then said, "Alright, let's talk about some serious matters."

Call!

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, the Exquisite Holy Lord lay down on the bed, propped her head up with her left hand, patted the bed, and said, "Come, let's sit down and talk."

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

Is this the important thing you're talking about?

Are you going to humiliate me again?

OK!

Holy Lord, you forced me to do this.

Although I, Lu Changsheng, am a gentleman, I cannot stand this insult.

But the next moment, the voice of the Exquisite Holy Lord slowly rang out, leaving Lu Changsheng stunned.

"Do you know who tried to assassinate you that day at the Yin Yang Holy Land?"

The fourth update is here!

Then I changed a setting. Previously, I wrote that the Exquisite Holy Lord was five thousand years old, but now I write that she is six thousand years old.

I'll modify this later after I get the permissions!
