This Sort of Thing, I Have Experience With

"Unless you have a wide circle of friends and a powerful senior as your teacher, I am indeed far inferior! What you say is very true. I really shouldn't let those fellow Daoists get into trouble. That would not be the way of a friend!" Eastern King Duke sighed and admitted defeat.

But while admitting defeat, he not only praised Wu Chu, but also touted his own noble character, so that the Queen Mother of the West would know that it wasn't that he was truly cowardly, but that he didn't have the powerful backing of his fellow Daoists, and he couldn't ask everyone to take this risk for us!

When Wu Chu saw that the Queen Mother of the West, upon hearing this, held his hand, comforting him and saying that she didn't mind the formalities, he couldn't help but want to applaud the Eastern King Duke.

No wonder this guy was able to gather a large following, establish Immortal Court, and challenge Di Jun and Taiyi. Although he was eventually defeated by Di Jun and Taiyi, his title as the Fusang Great Emperor was once brilliant in the mythology of the Primordial World!

When the Little Flower Fairies served the delicacies made by the Little Moon Spirit, the Queen Mother of the West was instantly captivated by these flavors she had never tasted before.

She then understood why Eastern King Duke always mentioned the delicacies of Purple Jade Mountain.

Perhaps it's because women in love tend to have questionable IQs! The Queen Mother of the West even lowered herself to ask Little Moon Spirit for advice on the Dao of Cuisine.

It's clear that the Eastern King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West are indeed deeply in love, because in this stage, men and women, even gods and goddesses, will lose their rationality.

If one could remain rational, one wouldn't fall in love so passionately.

Besides, how can it be called 'passionate love' if you don't get carried away with the passion?

With the Eastern King Duke acting as a mediator, Wu Chu and his group felt much more comfortable and at ease staying in West Kunlun than when they were at Three Pure Ones Peak.

While at Three Pure Ones Peak, although the Tongtian Path occasionally livened up the atmosphere, that guy Yuanshi always had a serious face, which easily ruined the mood.

But in this West Kunlun, the occasional silly things that happen between this pair of divine beings deeply in love are far more effective at livening up the atmosphere than those on the Tongtian Path.

For example, when the Queen Mother of the West cooked for the Eastern King Duke, she didn't control the heat well and ended up with a dark, unappetizing mess. The Queen Mother of the West originally intended to secretly destroy the evidence, but the Eastern King Duke saw it. To show that he didn't mind, the Eastern King Duke bravely tasted the dish himself.

He almost vomited on the spot. However, the usually shrewd and tactful Eastern King Duke obviously wouldn't do such a thing. But he couldn't very well use magic to wrap the thing up in front of Queen Mother of the West, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, chew it for a while, and then swallow it.

Finally, he smiled and offered a few words of encouragement to the Queen Mother of the West.

"It may look a bit unappetizing, but it tastes alright." He said, picking up the plate of dark, unrecognizable food. "Don't worry, cooking is something you can't rush. Once you've made it a few more times and gotten more skilled, this won't happen again. Let me taste it carefully first, and I'll give you some suggestions later."

When Eastern King Duke suddenly disappeared into a secluded corner to vomit, he found Wu Chu standing not far away, arms tucked into his sleeves, smiling as he watched him.

"Why are you here, fellow Daoist?" Eastern King Duke coughed a few times and asked.

Wu Chu smiled and shook his head, tossing a jug of wine to him before sitting down on the ground, gazing at the ethereal Mirror Lake in the distance. "Don't worry, I didn't see anything!"

Eastern King Duke took the wine jug, rinsed his mouth with the wine, and then took a sip. But when he heard Wu Chu's words, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.

After clearing his throat, he said, "I apologize for the embarrassing situation, fellow Daoist."

Wu Chu glanced at him sideways and laughed, "Just trying to please your own woman! It's not shameful!"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King Duke was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

After all, this guy has two wives. His happiness and joy are doubled, but so are his pain and frustration, aren't they?

Wu Chu continued, "When you look back on these events in the future, you might think you were foolish and naive, but I'm sure you'll look back with a smile. I have experience with this kind of thing."

Wu Chu spoke with a knowing smile, as if he'd been there all along.

Eastern King Duke asked curiously, "Oh? So you've also experienced something like this, fellow Daoist?"

Wu Chu shook his head and said, "No, that's not true. After all, neither of my wives cooks in our Purple Jade Mountain. There's Little Moon Spirit! Little Moon Spirit Little Cai Niang in seclusion, and there's also Xiao Cainiang. If Little Cai Niang is also in seclusion, there's also Little Jasmine and her group of Little Flower Fairies!"

"..."

Eastern King Duke looked at Wu Chu speechlessly, thinking that this guy was a bit of a jerk.

Seeing the Eastern King Duke's expression, Wu Chu couldn't help but burst into laughter. His Versailles act had finally succeeded; it was rare to see the Eastern King Duke speechless.

Seeing Wu Chu's shameless laughter, what could the Eastern King Duke do but smile bitterly? He couldn't very well beat them up! His two wives were not to be trifled with.

After laughing for a while, Wu Chu took out a pot of spirit wine with satisfaction, clinked it against the wine pot in Eastern King Duke's hand, took a sip, and asked, "Has Fellow Daoist Shaoyang chosen a date?"

Eastern King Duke glanced at him and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist intend to leave?"

Wu Chu glanced at Mirror Lake ahead, watching the small animals running along its shore, the Little Flower Fairies flitting among the blossoms, and the three disciples meditating and cultivating under the Flat Peach Tree. He shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to leave, but I feel it's inappropriate to disturb your private time here for too long. I understand."

The Eastern King Duke sat down cross-legged beside him, clinked his wine jug with his, took a sip, and laughed, "What's with this air of an experienced man? Are you making fun of me?"

Wu Chu shook his head and chuckled, then transmitted his voice to him, saying, "Speaking of which, when we were handling that matter, we developed a Yin-Yang Complementary Cultivation Method. I wonder if you and Fellow Daoist Huamiao Miao have any research in this area? If so, we could discuss it..."

After all, when it comes to the true Dao of Yin Yang, the Eastern King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West are more adept at them. They are themselves formed from the two energies of Yin Yang, and their understanding of this principle is innate.

Sure enough, when Eastern King Duke heard Wu Chu's words, his old face flushed red, and he said, "Fellow Daoist, this, this..." After all, this kind of topic was really too private.

Wu Chu laughed and said, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me. In the Dao of Yin Yang, Fellow Daoist Shaoyang and Fellow Huamiao can both be my teachers! It is only natural for me to ask fellow Daoists for guidance."

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." Eastern King Duke silently pondered this saying for a moment, then rose, bowed to Wu Chu, and said, "Fellow Daoist's magnanimity is far beyond my reach!"

Wu Chu swayed slightly, avoiding the curtsy, and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be so polite with me, otherwise there are some questions I'll be too embarrassed to ask."

"Would you be embarrassed to not speak, fellow Daoist?"

"Ha ha..."
