Kunlun Void
Upon hearing these three words, Gouzi remained silent for a long time before asking, "What is the current situation of Kunlun Void? As I understand it, this place shouldn't exist now."
Qiu Niu's eyes showed a hint of surprise. "As expected of Taotie."
Qin Yi remained expressionless. The dog had finally regained its Ancient Fierce Soul aura and was uttering words Qin Yi couldn't understand...
The dog said calmly, "Void, illusion, heaven. It's the bridge connecting heaven and earth. Some people Death Zone connection between heaven and earth; shouldn't Kunlun Void be above it?"
Qiu Niu clapped his two short hands and laughed, "You're right. However... emptiness is also ruin."
The dog suddenly realized, "The main structure is gone, but there are still ruins? Where?"
"In the southwest of the Great Wilderness, there is a wasteland stretching eight hundred miles on the surface, the depths of which are unknown," Qiu Niu said. "It is not visible on ordinary days, but when the Jianmu tree wants to bear fruit, it is drawn open by some force. I went there ten thousand years ago and knew there was a door inside, but I could not compete with the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace He Dao."
At this point, she spat and said, "People from China, shameless, resorting to underhanded tactics... From now on, we'll isolate China and see if they can stand it! Ah, Elder Sister, I wasn't talking about you."
Ju Yunxiu: "..."
She exchanged a somewhat amused and exasperated glance with Qin Yi. Who would have thought that the Sea Forbidden Ground, which was still in contact with the Great Wilderness, was isolated from the Divine Continent for such a reason?
It turns out that Celestial Pivot Divine Palace offended the Dragon Son prince and stole its Happy Pit.
The rage of the fat otaku?
It seems that Celestial Pivot Divine Palace) attaches great importance to the "gate". He Dao Zhenren is probably the Divine Land's Number One, as he actually took action to snatch things. He is definitely not the person who only observes rituals as people usually imagine.
The dog scoffed, "Trying to steal the door, Fatty. Don't even mention tricking you, it wouldn't be surprising if you were gang-raped."
Qiu Niu snorted.
The dog said, "So, that means the door is gone?"
"There was still a section left, but the situation didn't allow them to take it; Kunlun Void was about to be closed."
"Hmm... this Kunlun Void is like someone's private quarters... oh, like a latrine, anyone can enter?"
"First of all, those who have already been in can't go in," Qiu Niu said. "Anyway, I went in last time, so this time I'll just stay outside and watch over you. Similarly, He Dao can't go in either; most of those coming to the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace this time are Xi Yue."
The dog stroked its round chin without saying a word.
"For external guards, it's usually the monks from Bodhi Temple who join forces with us to prevent others from going in and causing trouble. We usually send winged people; other sea races don't have much of an advantage on land," Qiu Niu said. "Anyway, Wuxiang can't stop them, and some Qian Yuan cultivators might not be able to either, but there aren't many who can actually get in."
Yu Shang understood. The cause and effect connected; Heartless God had tried to bewitch her so she would secretly let him into Kunlun Void. Perhaps Gu Shuanglin and the others had also considered this... As a guard of the Dragon Son, Yu Chang had access to far too high-level things.
That place must hold unparalleled wonders.
Yu Shang almost laughed. Was this kind of good fortune so easy to obtain? There were several Wuxiangs acting inside. How dare Wuxinshen and Gu Shuanglin, Heartless God Huiyangs, squeeze in? They were probably just going to be wiped out by a mere graze from a Law Technique clash.
Greed has truly blinded reason.
Qin Yi had also thought of these things, but he didn't intend to go in.
Qin Yi Heartless God very well that those who had never seen Wu Xiang in their lives were like Wu Xin Shen. He couldn't even withstand a single finger from the Wu Xiang master. Was he really going to court death?
The Stern Orange Peel Old Daoist Nun might not kill him, but there's a good chance that someone like Zuo Qingtian is inside, and there's also a high probability that there are Heavenly Being.
You can't go.
The dog replied in the same way, "I can't go. My soul is not yet without form; to go would be courting death."
Qiu Niu smiled, "There are still four months until Kunlun Void opens. You still have time... Of course, you can choose not to choose this option. Anyway, if you want to come back, I still agree, as long as you can handle the others."
The dog nodded. "I'll think about it."
Qiu Niu turned and left. "Since you're here, stay here. The palace is very large, but there are very few people living here."
Although Qiu Niu to persuade her to stay, An'an didn't dare to. She ran away as fast as she could, only managing to say, "I'll see you another day, sir."
Yu Shang didn't stay either. Even though she was reluctant to part, she knew Qin Yi and her Senior Sister must have had many important things to say, and it would be inappropriate for her to stand in the middle. So she simply said, "Husband, please rest assured and call me anytime if you need anything."
After saying that, he took An'an and ran away.
The dog, seemingly lost in thought, crawled into Qin Yi's ring. Seeing Qin Yi's thoughtful expression, Ju Yunxiu couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
"Oh..." Qin Yi snapped out of his reverie. He realized there seemed to be a loophole in Qiu Niu's words, and not wanting to appear instigating in front of his Senior Sister, he casually changed the subject, saying, "Would it damage your reputation if I stayed overnight at your place?"
Ju Yunxiu chuckled, "You are my dao companion, what do I need a reputation for?"
Qin Yi blinked.
Ju Yunxiu sighed, "Are you still jealous that I'm living here in Qiu Niu?"
Qin Yi scratched his head. "A little."
Ju Yunxiu retorted irritably, "But Qiu Niu has no nature!"
"Well?"
"If it were male, how could I possibly live here? It wouldn't stop me from living outside."
"The Dragon Son... is asexual?"
This time, the dog poked its head out from inside the ring. "As I told you last time, Yazi, as a spirit of vengeance, is indeed asexual. Qiu Niu is the same; it is Spirit of Music. I don't know what you humans are thinking; it's so damn boring."
Ju Yunxiu sneered, "Not all humans are this boring."
Qin Yi said awkwardly, "Dragon, son, huh?"
"Zi means heir, a collective term. Otherwise, how would you call it?"
"..."
Ju Yunxiu continued, "If asexuality also has a tendency, then this Taotie senior wearing a bow tie is also inclined towards female, as are Qiu Niu and Jiao Tu. Baxia and Yazi, on the other hand, should be considered inclined towards male..."
Dog: "... Never mind, I'm too lazy to talk to you guys. God, even asexuals have sexual preferences, you boring humans."
"Pfft..." Qing Cha picked the dog up from the ring. "Ball Ball, you're so cute."
"How did I become Ball Ball again!" the dog wanted to retort indignation, but then suddenly paused.
It seems Qin Yi also has a young apprentice who is an emperor, and he calls himself that too... Do all the next generation have this hobby?
Oh well, whatever. The dog actually finds this tea-leaf girl quite amusing, feeling a connection to her kind of spirit of nature, perhaps because she's been given the sap of the Jianmu tree as her bloodline? Anyway, she's much more approachable than that emperor girl. And she's so adorably goofy...
Qing Cha cautiously extended a finger and poked the dog's face.
The dog jumped up and down.
Qing Cha was overjoyed and ran off with the dog in her arms, exclaiming, "Master, Uncle-Master, I'm going out to play with Ball Ball!"
The room was instantly empty except for the two Senior Sister. Ju Yunxiu looked at Qin Yi with a half-smile, "I've explained my duet with Qiu Niu and my residence in its palace. Now, explain your marriage to a winged person and your duet with Clam Girl?"
Qin Yi smiled ingratiatingly, "Didn't I already explain everything...?"
"But my kind of thing doesn't exist, while yours is real."
"This..." Qin Yi felt very ashamed, lowered his head and stopped trying to explain.
"Did the ants kneel down?"
"Aren't there no ants?" Qin Yi shamelessly hugged her, whispering, "Can't we kneel somewhere else?"
A gentle breeze arose, and Qin Yi was caught off guard and fell flat on his back.
Qin Yi tragically clutched his lower back, only then remembering that his Senior Sister was already at the Qian Yuan level... Now, after experiencing various musical insights, she might not only be at the initial Qian Yuan level, but possibly at the second or third level.
I can't beat them...
Ju Yunxiu squatted down beside him, her slender hand stroking his cheek, and said with a smile, "I'm just your dao companion, not your wife. I'm too lazy to ask about your trivial matters. Now it's just the two of us, is there anything you want to say to me?"
Qin Yi's expression turned serious. He looked around and telepathically asked, "Will Qiu Niu be eavesdropping?"
Ju Yunxiu paused, then said, "If it wants to hear, it's probably impossible to hide it, even telepathic communication might not be able to. But it shouldn't go that far..."
Qin Yi swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Judging from the surface, Qiu Niu's plan to revive the Jianmu tree should require a fragment of a door as a foundation, supplemented by his Senior Sister's music, to succeed. That fragment of the door should be something he's determined to obtain, so why would he so nonchalantly tell Gouzi, "You don't have to choose this option"?
P. S.: Sorry for taking up some words.
I initially thought only people found Qiu Niu's cutesy character unpleasant, which was understandable given their lack of patience to wait for the later revelations. I never imagined that people would feel disgusted by imagining a relationship between Qiu Niu and his Senior Sister —and it wasn't just one person, it was a whole group!
Aren't Meng Qingying and Star Dragon the same? Should we disgust her first? Shouldn't we disgust her with this asexual atmosphere, since she's breathing the same air as other men? I'm truly speechless.
Some even compare it to the plot of the previous novel, Feng Lieyang. That plot was a "hijacking," a source of satisfaction for a certain group of readers. When it was written, I never imagined you'd conjure up such outlandish scenarios. Even a simple massage is imagined as the female lead being sexually assaulted by many, which has been a source of ridicule for me for two years. The idea that both mother and daughter are virgins is interpreted as artificial insemination with semen injected—utterly ridiculous. The fact that the emperor is impotent is also interpreted as him being beaten because of a concubine, with readers imagining it as S&M, and then innocently telling me he couldn't handle it.
Those who overthink things are truly amazing; they can reverse-engineer almost any satisfying moment into something cringeworthy. What's even more impressive is that they've become self-righteous, pretentious intellectuals deliberately trying to disgust people. Please, I'm a normal person; I have no idea what a lunatic would imagine. There's no intention involved, thank you.
I mentioned in the afterword of my previous book that I continued writing about harems for normal readers who wanted to read about harems. Please, those who like to overthink things, don't come here. Why are you here again?
"Thunder" refers to the feeling of being struck by lightning. But you guys are making everything thunder, from chicken feathers to garlic peels. Are you reading a book or dancing at a disco?
This chapter is to explain why the chapter about asexuality was updated earlier than planned; there won't be any more tonight.
