Quotes

"Well said, this is true strategic vision! As long as we utterly annihilate these incoming foreign enemies, it will naturally create a deterrent. That way, even if they in the Heavenly Path Continent want to eat meat, they'll have to consider if their teeth are hard enough!" 1117

"Listening to your words is better than listening to your words!" 1117

"Isn't that Patriarch Wang, repeating yourself?" 1117

"Hahahaha....." 1117

"Hall Master Zixuan, please tell us, whose daughter is it!" 1151

"Speaking of which, my daughter-in-law only returned to the Ancestral Land today. I don't even know where she is right now." 1151

"Today? Returned to the Ancestral Land?" 1151

"Her name is Meng Yutong!" 1151

"Meng Yutong, which Meng Yutong?" 1151

"Heng'er, you..." 1457

"Master, I know that between you and me, there's always been a seasoning – the master-disciple relationship. This is something no one else has." 1457

"In your eyes, I can be Heng'er, I can be your husband, or I can be a rebellious disciple, but that master-disciple relationship cannot disappear." 1457

"Because this relationship is like the salt in ordinary people's daily meals. Food without salt can still be eaten, but over time, it becomes bland. I don't want the hundreds, even thousands, of years we spend together to become bland and overly formal." 1457

"If Her Majesty has official business to attend to, then I beg your pardon, I won't keep you company!" 1351

"Her Majesty has truly learned the essence of my disciple – shameless!!" 1351

"Hmph! Elder Meng, don't get so agitated. I have no intention of holding you captive. Your disciple cherishes you and protects you. If I were to openly bully you, wouldn't he be angry with me?" 1351

"You don't need to try to provoke me with words..." 1351

"Senior Sister, if possible, I'll personally dig out those few pairs of eyes later, how despicable!" 1151

"It's like they've never seen a woman before, it's sickening!" 1151

"Hey! Keep it down... don't let the people inside hear!" 1151

"Young Master Zither, what are you counting?" 1151

"Oh, I'm counting heads... Walking along, there are probably five or six hundred people!" 1151

"A bit less than I imagined!" 1151

"Speaking of which, be careful when you set off for the Southern Region in a few days. Those old geezers are watching you closely, and I don't want to hear that you, Mengmeng, have fallen into their hands. Being refined into a Human Pill and then becoming a Cultivation Cauldron... that would be truly lamentable." 254

"Hmph!" 254

"Those beasts have grown some nerve, thinking we're easy targets. Don't worry, even if This Honored One dies, I won't let them have their way..." 254

"Oh dear, why are you getting so worked up? Live well, why talk about death? If they want to eat you, they'll need a new set of adamantine teeth, and besides, I'm still helping you." 254

"You're not the one being refined into a Human Pill, how can I not be worked up? No one wants to die so early in life. Now that my disciples are settled, I should thank you properly." 254

"You're here, please sit down!" 491

"That salted fish... no, I mean the lazy..." 946

"Yao'er, what else do you have to say?" 857

"M-Master!?" 857

"Oh my, Mengmeng, your complexion looks so good now! I thought you'd be pale, but look at that rosy face. If I didn't know better, I'd think you'd been nourished by a man." 491

"Mu Li, don't talk nonsense. I don't like this kind of joke." 491

"Alright, alright, you get triggered when I mention men. No wonder you're an old woman nobody likes!!" 491

"Yutong, how is your physical condition now? Why do I see your aura is so unstable?! It's as if there's a very strong energy in your body that hasn't been refined yet." 491

"Caiyan, this is your aunt. This is Little Heng's Master, uh... according to seniority, just call it Senior Meng." 946

"Greetings, Aunt, Senior Meng!" 946

"Ahahaha." 946

"It's nothing. I feel very good now. This is all thanks to my beloved disciples!" 491

"Stop showing off. It's just beloved disciples, it's not like nobody else has them. Mengmeng, you're just lucky to have picked up so many treasure disciples..." 491

"Yutong, that young fellow Lin Heng saved you and me this time. I had a good feeling about him when we were in the Azure Mystic Sect and told you to be nice to him. Now the reward has come!" 491

"Fellow Daoist Meng, I kindly saved you, why do you want to slander me?" 1156

"Yes... Our words were excessive when we argued before, but do I have a reason to harm you?" 1156

"Yes! Why wouldn't you? First, you personally admitted that you and our Rebellious Disciple were deeply in love, and because I was jealous and obstructed you two, you developed a murderous intent. After I died, you would take my place and help me take care of my Disciples!" 1156

"Do you dare say those weren't your original words?" 1156

"Lin Heng, I think your Master has paranoid delusions. I thought she was a True Monarch with foresight... to actually be jealous like a little woman, sigh!" 1156

"You..." 1156

"You're saying the Pavilion Master of the Rainy Pavilion is Meng Yutong? What proof do you have?" 1148

"Does proof matter? After so many years, your Cauldron of All Beings should be becoming increasingly useless, right? That's because you haven't sacrificed Meng Yutong." 1148

"And you're even foolish enough to have her repair the cauldron for you. If I were her... not destroying the cauldron would be letting you off lightly!" 1148

"Think carefully about what I've said!" 1148

"You Clear Moon Long Song people have a grudge against the Azure Mystic Sect and want to use my Meng Clan to get rid of your opponent. You really think this old man is a fool!" 1148

"Zixuan, are you really going to indulge those two, Master and Disciples, like this? If word gets out, won't it look bad?" 920

"No, of course, that's not what I mean. I'm just worried that Yutong won't be able to handle the gossip..." 920

"Fine, fine. I admit I do have a man I'm fond of now... I feel like I can't quite handle him." 517

"Heng'er, tonight, your master must reiterate the bottom line to you. Mu Li, that woman, I do not wish for you to have too much entanglement with her." 650

"Personal feelings are worth yielding before the greater righteousness of the family!" 1503

"Rest assured, Ancestor. I'll tie her up tight enough that she won't be able to escape." 1943
