Retreating in Disgrace, an Idea / Tang Yue's Generosity, Three Realms of Vital Energy

The snake's head slowly descended from the sky. Gloken's private jet was smaller than the snake's head. The terrifying snake tongue slowly flicked out, smearing saliva all over Gloken's already stiff body.

Tick-tock!

His saliva was sticky, and Gloken's elegant golden hair and luxurious golden robe were completely ruined, but he still dared not move, almost scared out of his wits.

As a temple clerk and an outstanding Super Rank mage, there are very few things in this world that could make him lose his soul at a single glance.

But here in Jiuzhou, on this land of Hangzhou, he saw... he saw the most terrifying creature he had ever seen before!!

As soon as Lu Jun landed, the black ghost god floating behind him violently flung him away, and Dikaios, who was bound tightly by magic, was slammed to the ground, falling face-first with his mouth full of stone chips and covered in dust.

Seeing this scene, Mo Fan was shocked. Even though he knew that the relationship between the Hangzhou Totem Mysterious Snake and Lu Jun was unusual, he still swallowed hard in fear.

In a moment, he was no longer afraid. Yes, this giant snake that could fight the Corpse of the Mountain Peak was on their side.

So Mo Fan straightened his back, swaggered up to Gloken, pointed at the man's chest with his finger, and said with a malicious smile, "How about it, keep being arrogant?"

Gloken opened his mouth to speak, but before he could utter a sound, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his left cheek, and his vision went black. He was instantly knocked to the ground by Mo Fan's punch.

"You!"

The temple mentor was furious and was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, but the thought of the menacing giant serpent above his head stopped him in his tracks.

Hahaha, Mo Fan was arrogant, relying on his connections to intimidate others. He grabbed Gloken by the collar and smiled coldly, "Are you still trying to kidnap people?"

On the other side, Lu Jun didn't hold back either, stomping on Dikaios, who was trying to raise his head, causing his cheek to rub intimately against the ground, making his cheek look sunken.

He stepped on Dikaios's head and asked coldly, "Are the Chinese people now considered oriental monkeys?"

Waaaaah!

Dikaios shook his head desperately, but since his head was immobile, he could only howl in terror.

*Snap! Lu Jun's eyes flashed black and red as the power of his curse condensed into a black whip of pain within the opponent's Spiritual World, lashing out.

As he whipped and tormented Dikaios's soul, he asked in a cold voice, "What is that?"

"Waaaaah."

"Oh? You mean equal races? You're wrong!"

Crack! Lu Jun lashed out with the whip again without any hesitation.

Chapter 262 They slunk away, their thoughts

Clap clap clap!

Lu Jun ruthlessly lashed out at Dikaios's spirit, forcibly twisting his thoughts with psychological means.

Under the mental curse, Dikaios broke down several times, his eyes glazed over, and his screams were deafening.

Finally, he declared from the bottom of his heart, with fervent conviction. "The Chinese are the superior race, and I am descended from the lowest, most inferior race of Western white people."

Seeing this, Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the airport's filthy runway, and ordered, "Lick it!"

Immediately, Dikaios crawled over like a lapdog, sticking out his tongue and eating dirt.

The next moment, Lu Jun kicked his opponent hard, sending him flying. Blood splattered everywhere, and Dikaios's mouth was full of blood; he had even lost several teeth.

But far from being annoyed, he said with a satisfied expression, "The legend is indeed true; the land of the East is as sweet as honey."

This worldview is strikingly similar to the belief held by some "banana people" that the air in the West is sweet.

In the distance, Gloken swallowed hard, shocked by Lu Jun's ruthless methods.

This is even more terrifying than killing Dikaios.

Their Parthenon Temple specializes in Mind Element, and their main focus is on gently persuading others to believe in the temple—it's just icing on the cake. Cough, forced conversion does happen, but that's a separate, secret institution.

From this moment on, Dikaios was finished.

When Lu Jun looked over, Gloken was immediately Lost Souls and hurriedly shook his head, saying, "Friend... friend, let's talk this out."

He knew that the Totem Mysterious Snake was brought by Lu Jun, so he didn't say anything to Mo Fan.

Just then, Xin Xia pushed her wheelchair out of the plane with difficulty and called out, "Brother Fan, don't be impulsive. Parthenon doesn't mean any harm."

Seeing this, Lu Jun glanced at Mo Fan, and seeing his hesitation, said, "You two handle this yourselves."

Xin Xia said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Brother Lu. We will do our best to help you if you ever need anything in the future."

"It's nothing." Mo Fan said casually, patting Lu Jun on the shoulder as if it were nothing. "We've known each other for years, don't be so polite with him."

Despite saying this, Mo Fan's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was overflowing with gratitude.

There was nothing he could do. He truly didn't know how painful and helpless he would have felt if Lu Jun hadn't helped him, and he had just watched Xin Xia being taken away.

He will inevitably go crazy afterwards, and once his cultivation is fully developed, he will definitely make a trip to the Parthenon Temple to settle the score for the humiliation of that year.

Finally, Lu Jun waved his hand, assuring them that the Resurrection Divine Art was guaranteed, and then slipped away, giving the group some private space to talk and make their deal.

He walked up to the Totem Mysterious Snake, reached out and patted the scales of its massive head, saying gently, "You've worked hard, big guy."

The black snake hissed comfortably, indicating that it was alright.

Before long, the three reached an agreement. Gloken promised many things, the two key points being: first, to heal Xin Xia's legs; and second, that the study period at the temple would be at most one year.

Mo Fan found it acceptable, as he was about to participate in the National Prefecture War, which required a year of training and challenges against the National Pavilion.

When we reach our final destination, Venice, we'll take a side trip to Greece to bring Xin Xia back.

But Lu Jun knew that Ye Xin Xia would not return, and that she had fallen into an endless vortex of trouble, almost dying as a result.

Even if they achieve great success, they become completely different people and are no longer happy.

He stroked his chin; after seeing the Parthenon Temple, his thinking underwent a profound transformation.

I originally thought that Xin Xia becoming a goddess as fate would be the best choice for the world and the Nine Provinces, a transformation in a relatively gentle way.

But looking at the stubborn arrogance of the Parthenon staff, it seemed unlikely.

It should be noted that in the original novel's ending, in order to purge the large number of Black Vatican Member mixed in with the temple, Xin Xia reluctantly had some of her guardian knights impersonate fake 'Black Vatican' members and slaughter 'temple personnel'.

Given her Chinese identity, the controversy surrounding her is bound to be significant. Many disgruntled pro-Western and traditionalists will lie low and secretly obstruct the reforms, which may hinder their progress.

After all, Xin Xia was only at the Super Rank until later on. It was only by using the power of her divine soul to seal the Holy Knight that she had a large number of forbidden spells and the Emperor's support.

"In the end, after this generation ends, the Resurrection Soul will still be lingering inside the Parthenon Temple. If the next goddess is a Westerner, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?"

Lu Jun was deep in thought and somewhat reluctant to let things proceed as originally planned.

Besides, now that Salang is dead, without her intentional or unintentional help, it's highly doubtful whether Xin Xia could outmaneuver Parthenon, Temple Mother also holds the title of Pope.

He had no objection to Xin Xia becoming a goddess and was very supportive, but he had doubts about placing the Resurrection Soul in the temple.

"Resurrection Divine Art! I'm so tempted."

Lu Jun sighed inwardly, wondering if he could come up with a plan.

The Parthenon war seemed to present an unprecedented opportunity, at a time when the temple's power was at its lowest point.

Furthermore, just as Ye Xin Xia approached, his Ancient King Armor Robe, which he used to curse the Milky Way, was activated. It seemed that the King of Hell Throne, having sensed the Resurrection Soul Athena, was very wary of this Life Origin.

The Gray Spots that had appeared on his body have faded away on their own.

"The Supreme Hall of Healing: Life and Death."

Lu Jun was lost in thought. He glanced at Xin Xia but didn't say much. He'd see how things went.

He hadn't considered it before because he was wary of Parthenon's power, Salam, and the Dark King Ventay. Now that he had obtained the Ancient King's Armor, the former two were no longer a threat.

As for the final Dark King, Wen Tai, we'll see if he can descend into the Magic Plane; the emperor is far away and the realm is vast.

Ultimately, it's about increasing strength and a desire for more.

"The Sacred Totem White Tiger, the King of Hell Throne, the Resurrection Soul — the Three Emperor Origins has converged into one. I wonder if it can ascend to the rooftop and attain eternal life?"

He remained silent, deciding to take things one step at a time. Ultimately, he didn't really want to take what belonged to Xin Xia; if she couldn't hold onto it, then that would be a different story.

On the other side, Mo Fan personally saw Xin Xia and her group from the Parthenon Temple off, feeling extremely disappointed, as this was the first time his sister had left him in so long.

Lu Jun waved goodbye to the Totem Mysterious Snake, and the majestic, mountain-like giant serpent disappeared, restoring calm to the chaotic airport.

Only locals in Hangzhou knew the situation and helped comfort passengers from other places; otherwise, the disturbance would have escalated.

The Adjudication Court flew in, but dared not stop them; they could only try to maintain order.

Then, seeing Mo Fan's dejected look, Lu Jun glanced at Sister Tang Yue, who was approaching in the distance, and said with a sly smile, "Oh, your little girlfriend is gone. Don't worry, the separation is for becoming a better version of yourself before you meet again."

Hearing this, Mo Fan felt somewhat comforted.

But the next moment, his jaw dislocated, and he stared in disbelief as Lu Jun embraced a beautiful mature woman.

Mo Fan took a closer look and remembered it clearly. Wasn't this his high school practical training teacher? He was the most popular student and the dream girl of countless young men.

Old Lu actually managed to get his hands on her.

With a broad smile, Lu Jun put one arm around Tang Yue's slender yet voluptuous waist, and rubbed salt into Mo Fan's wound, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Chapter 263 Tang Yue's Generosity, Qi and Blood Three Realms

Mo Fan felt a deep sense of malice and secretly thought that Lao Lu was indeed not so kind, and was just stirring up trouble.

"Damn it!" He sighed, his forehead covered in black lines, and said, "The National Government training is about to begin. Do you want to come with me to the capital?"

"Cough cough cough, wait a few days."

Lu Jun coughed lightly, then embraced Tang Yue and walked away gracefully, leaving Mo Fan bewildered in the wind.

Meanwhile, the two strolled around West Lake and returned to their villa.

As soon as she entered, Tang Yue's breathing quickened, and she impatiently pressed Lu Jun against the wall, leaning her tall and voluptuous body against him and giving him a passionate kiss.

Suddenly, Lu Jun felt as if he were being squeezed by a flexible wall, and his mouth was blocked.

After a long chase, their lips parted, their faces flushed, both aroused.

Tang Yue looked at him with gentle, alluring eyes and said, "Since you're coming to Hangzhou, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"I'm here on business," Lu Jun paused, then said, "But I can stay with you for a few days."

It had been two or three months since they last parted ways, and naturally they missed each other as time went on.

"Oh, I see..." Tang Yue, her pretty face flushed, slapped away Lu Jun's mischievous hand, rolled her eyes, and said, "Wait until you've finished showering, you're all sweaty."

Lu Jun regretfully let go, watching Tang Yue's figure disappear from sight.

A moment later, he lay down on the sofa, preparing to wait a while, when he saw the bathroom door open again, emitting hot white smoke.

A stunningly beautiful mature woman, wrapped in a bath towel, strode forward with her long, shapely, and fair legs.

Tang Yue smiled and pulled him up, playfully scolding, "You didn't realize it."

Seeing this, Lu Jun was surprised and stood there dumbfounded as the older sister led him into the bathroom.

Splash!

A wave of heat hit them as the two of them, hand in hand, sat down in the bathtub, and the water overflowed.

Lu Jun squinted as he leaned against the porcelain wall, watching Tang Yue's bath towel float and the "ice cream" melt, revealing her fair body.

Then he comfortably enjoyed the gentle wiping from the white bath sponge.

After some dawdling, it was already late.

Lu Jun lay on the bed, the room door wide open. Tang Yue leaned against the door frame, her eyes bold and passionate, her long legs encased in white stockings, exuding a unique charm.

The mature, sophisticated woman wearing white stockings created a striking contrast, making him drool.

The two embraced, and the night passed without a word.

A few days passed, Lu Jun reluctantly said goodbye. Tang Yue lay on the sofa, looking languid and rosy-cheeked, with a satisfied air about her. She waved lazily.

It's likely we won't see each other for a year.

He summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and instead of rushing to the Imperial Capital, he returned to the Magic City.

I was delayed by Mo Fanxin and Xia's matter before, but now I finally have some time.

Inside the Pearl Academy, Lu Jun found Lu Wei Xi, who had been placed in the gifted Youth Class by Dean Xiao and would go to university when she reached the appropriate age.
