Do Not Do unto Others What You Do Not Want Done unto You

Wu Chu estimated that if he hadn't used so many educational films to teach the old Ran Deng how to be a man when he first encountered him, his fate would probably have been the same as this White Egret Monster's.

Of course, that's the best-case scenario. The most likely outcome is that he'll be killed by the old Ran Deng priest, and his precious phone will be stolen.

This world is cruel, so Wu Chu felt there should be more warmth. After all, this White Egret Monster couldn't hurt them. Qingqiu Li only needed one look to make it relive that soul-deep pain.

The Illusory Slaughter Technique originated from Wu Chu's explanation of 'Tsukuyomi', and was later perfected by Qingqiu Li, ultimately forming a similar Illusion Technique.

Illusory Slaughter involves subjecting the victim to various forms of mental torture within Illusion Technique, ultimately destroying their Primordial Spirit. It is an extremely cruel Illusion Technique.

Although it was only a short period of time, the White Egret Monster was clearly trembling with fear, and answered almost every question from Wu Chu and the others.

The White Egret Monster Egret Daoist, has lived in the Wuyi Mountain for countless years. The top-grade Spirit Root Big Red Robe tea tree, although not her Companion Spirit Root, has indeed been refined by her for many years and is considered one of her treasures.

When the Phoenix Clan announced its rule over Bird Clan, Bai Lu Bailu had already joined the Phoenix Clan, making him a veteran member.

After all, in the context of the entire Primordial World, this place is Undying Volcano.

If she doesn't respond to the call, the enemy can easily kill her.

Although she had always lived a carefree and idyllic life, Bai Lu Bailu was not a mindless little demon and knew very well how to make the right choice.

Just like now, she was well aware of the gap between herself and Qingqiu Li, so she obediently chose to cooperate, lying on the ground and answering respectfully.

Looking at the respectful and obedient White Egret Monster, Wu Chu silently shook his head, guessing that this White Egret Monster would not survive the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.

Even so, Wu Chu still didn't intend to snatch the Big Red Robe plant. He simply suggested that the Big Red Robe plant give him a branch, so that his trip wouldn't be in vain.

The White Egret Monster paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Wu Chu continued, "You need not be confused. We have some connections with the Phoenix Clan. This lady is from Qingqiu, and I am from Purple Jade Mountain."

As he spoke, he took out the Phoenix tail feather that Feng Xi had given him, saying, "This is a Phoenix Feather given to me by a friend from the Phoenix Clan, so you don't need to doubt it."

Then Wu Chu took out a Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple and handed it over, saying, "We won't take advantage of you. This Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple can increase your cultivation by 36,000 years..."

Seeing this, Bai Lu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then quickly waved his hand, "Senior, there's no need to be so polite. Just consider it a gift from your junior to you."

As she spoke, she had the Spirit Root Big Red Robe break off a branch and give it to Wu Chu and the others.

Without hesitation, the Spirit Root Big Red Robe cut off a branch and gave it to Wu Chu and the others. The branch was several meters thick.

After obtaining the broken branch of the Big Red Robe, Wu Chu stuffed the Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple into her hand, saying, "Since you've already called us seniors, how could we take advantage of you? Here you go!"

After forcibly shoving a Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple into Bai Lu Bailu's hands, Wu Chu said to Qingqiu Li, "Let's go!"

Qingqiu Li glanced at Wu Chu, then reached out and took Wu Chu's hand.

Wu Chu's body stiffened visibly; he didn't dare look at Qingqiu Li, nor at his own hands. But Qingqiu Li just watched him silently, without leaving.

After a moment of silence, under Qingqiu Li's direct gaze, Wu Chu silently turned his hand back and grasped hers.

Qingqiu Li was satisfied and pulled him up, flying into the air.

"Thank you, senior. This junior respectfully sees you off!"

Bai Lu prostrated himself on the mountaintop again, respectfully bidding them farewell.

In the air, Qingqiu Li did not immediately use her escape technique to leave quickly. Instead, she strolled with Wu Chu among the clouds, smiling as she watched Wu Chu.

This left Wu Chu speechless. If that's the case, why hold hands at all?

He thought Qingqiu Li wanted to go back quickly, which was why she was holding his hand.

"You're too soft-hearted!" Qingqiu Li said while Wu Chu was silently complaining, "Don't you think it's a pity to just give up such a high-grade Spirit Root like this?"

Wu Chu snapped out of his reverie, remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Seeing that Bai Lu Daoist so cautious and timid, it's like seeing Little Cai Niang back then, and it's also like seeing myself in the past—humble, weak, and helpless... However, I'm luckier than them; I've met many kind people, and I've met you all."

Upon hearing this, Qingqiu Li tightened her grip on Wu Chu's hand, as if she felt sorry for him.

Wu Chu added, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. I think we should adhere to this bottom line. There are many beings in this world more powerful than us; who knows, one day we might face the same situation?"

Hearing this, Qingqiu Li frowned slightly. "Aren't you overthinking this?"

Although Wu Chu's cultivation level wasn't very high, only Golden Immortal, he possessed quite a few Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure and had such a powerful master.

Qingqiu Li felt that Wu Chu was just overthinking things.

Wu Chu smiled, shook his head, and said, "Since coming into this world, I've received so much kindness from others, so naturally I won't mind giving back some kindness to others. As long as my life isn't threatened, why not?"

Qingqiu Li fell silent for a moment; this was a question she had never considered before.

Just then, Wu Chu tried to pull his hand away, but she gripped it tightly again.

"What? Does holding my hand make you this uncomfortable?" Qingqiu Li's expression instantly turned miserable, revealing a pitiful look.

Faced with Qingqiu Li's expression, Wu Chu felt as if he had suddenly become the villain.

No, don't talk nonsense.

Wu Chu could only deny it, saying, "I just wasn't mentally prepared."

"What kind of mental preparation do I need for this?" Qingqiu Li scoffed. "When you held Houtu's hand, it wasn't like this."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Are you afraid that Houtu will see Houtu and get angry?"

Seeing Wu Chu's wry smile, Qingqiu Li asked again.

"Sis, do you like me?"

Wu Chu stopped, his smile faded, and he turned to look at her with a serious expression.

Seeing his reaction, Qingqiu Li blinked and asked with a smile, "Guess!"

Let whoever wants to guess, guess! I won't tolerate your annoying habit!

Wu Chu mentally complained and turned to leave, but Qingqiu Li simply pulled him back with a gentle tug, his hand still being held by hers! He couldn't leave at all.

Following the reaction force of the pull, Wu Chu was just pulled back when a soft, fragrant object crashed into his arms.
