Xu Zhong's Shock

Creak...

No one knew whether the door had not been shut properly, but a gust of sinister wind blew it open. Xu Zhong instantly broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as though he had been caught in bed with a mistress.

"Yo, Old Xu, why are you standing there? Want to come in and watch TV with us?" Long Xiao turned around, saw Xu Zhong trembling in the doorway, and called out to him.

"Ah? This..."

Xu Zhong walked into the courtyard trembling, then looked at the television Long Xiao had mentioned. He found it incredibly novel. "Sect Master Long, what kind of treasure is this?"

"Oh, it's just a television. You can watch things on it."

Long Xiao answered casually. Times were different, and he could not be bothered to explain too much.

Yet that casual attitude made Xu Zhong shudder. Looking at the other scenes, could this be Sect Master Long's Heavenly Eye?

"Journey to the West is playing right now. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven is wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Want to watch it together?"

What was Journey to the West?

Xu Zhong looked over and saw a majestic monkey sweeping through countless foes within it. The battle scenes were earth-shattering!

How fierce! Was this the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

Was he really qualified to watch such high-end footage?

He felt that these must be secrets from the higher realm. Long Xiao being able to recreate them meant that he had definitely witnessed them himself.

He absolutely could not watch any more of such secrets!

Xu Zhong hurriedly took his leave. "Sect Master Long, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be going first."

He had already decided that Long Xiao was a reclusive master. No matter what, he had to build a good relationship with him from now on!

"Alright, take care."

Long Xiao watched Xu Zhong's departing back, the corners of his lips curling slightly. "Heh heh, this is getting interesting."

Bibi Dong, in his arms, was still immersed in her drunken haze. The liquor of the Mystic Heaven Continent was far stronger than the liquor of the Spirit World.

Bibi Dong suddenly raised her head and pointed at the television with a foolish grin.

"Monkey... what a big staff. Sect Master, I like big, strong ones too... Hehe."

Long Xiao showed an awkward expression and gently patted her smooth back. "Dong'er, you're drunk."

To his surprise, Bibi Dong pouted. "No! I'm not drunk at all!"

She raised her head, held Long Xiao's face in both hands, smiled, and kissed him with dazed, drunken eyes.

Again and again.

Several vivid lip prints were left on Long Xiao's face.

Long Xiao touched Bibi Dong's forehead. This woman was truly adorable when she was drunk.

Hm?

"Hey, hey, Dong'er, don't take your clothes off. Go back to your room first, then..."

After using the latrine, Xu Zhong returned to the wine table in a daze.

Many people had already collapsed across the tables in all directions. Even Brother Gu was hugging Brother Daoliu's thigh, sleeping in a muddleheaded state.

Tonight, more than a dozen high-ranking figures had gathered here. Everyone else was camped outside, waiting to continue working tomorrow.

"Father."

Xu Jiaojiao had not drunk much. The moment she saw her father return, she hurriedly went up to him.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Xu Zhong sighed. "I'm thinking about some things."

"Then can Father tell Jiao Jiao about them?"

Xu Zhong looked at Xu Jiaojiao, and an idea suddenly came to mind. Patting her shoulder, he said meaningfully, "Jiao Jiao, whether our family can cling to Sect Master Long depends on you!"

"Ah? Father, what are you talking about?"

Xu Jiaojiao's face flushed red. She said shyly, "I'm your own daughter. How can you say something like that?"

Xu Zhong laughed heartily, then told her everything he had just seen.

Xu Jiaojiao was equally shocked after hearing it. She had never expected Sect Master Long to be...

She subconsciously glanced at the sky.

"So, Jiao Jiao, Father hopes that you can join the Divine Sect." Xu Zhong firmly grasped his daughter's delicate hand.

"I... I... That isn't something I can decide."

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head. She was willing in her heart. When she had been tied back during the day and heard Long Xiao's grand ambition to establish a sect, she had already had such thoughts.

"It's fine. You have good talent and unparalleled beauty. Sect Master Long's sect needs people right now, so he definitely won't refuse. Bring it up with him tomorrow."

"The pavilion nearest the water gets the moonlight first."

Xu Zhong patted his daughter's fragrant shoulder. He was full of confidence in her.

"Alright, alright."

Though Xu Jiaojiao was shy, her heart was surging with excitement.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should return to the camp and rest too."

Xu Zhong left with Xu Jiaojiao.

Early the next morning.

"Fuck! Qian Daoliu, what did you do to me?!"

The instant Gu Rong opened his eyes, he saw himself hugging Qian Daoliu's foot. In his dream, he had clearly been licking a braised pig trotter.

"Ugh... ugh..."

After realizing something, he could not stop himself from retching.

"What do you mean, what did I do? Why are you hugging my leg?" Qian Daoliu groggily sat up from the ground and discovered Gu Rong clutching his thigh.

"I, I..."

Gu Rong's face turned bright red, and he hurriedly threw Qian Daoliu's leg aside.

"Looks like you can't hold your liquor!" Qian Daoliu rolled his eyes.

At that moment, Chen Xin also sat up and rubbed his forehead. "I never expected the wine of the Mystic Heaven Continent to get us drunk, and it tastes pretty good too."

"Back to work! Back to work!"

Soldiers and workers began streaming through the mountain gate. After a night of rest, everyone was full of energy again.

The Divine Sect had to be completed within ten days.

"Let's go move bricks. If the Sect Master finds out we've been slacking, we'll get scolded again." Qian Daoliu stood up, dusted off his backside, and spoke to Gu Rong and Chen Xin in the tone of an elder.

"Sigh, I suddenly realized that being a woman is pretty nice. At least you don't have to do the same work." Gu Rong grumbled.

"You don't have to do it, but what you do is different from what we do," Qian Daoliu muttered.

If he did not work harder, Bibi Dong would probably surpass him soon by relying on pillow talk.

Meanwhile, inside Bibi Dong's room.

Long Xiao and Bibi Dong lay on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Since his own room had been given to Bo Saixi, it was only natural for him to sleep here with Dong'er.

"Mmm, so comfortable."

Bibi Dong pouted as she mumbled.

She stretched her arms and rolled over onto Long Xiao's chest. Still groggy, she suddenly felt something strange against her stomach and jolted awake.

"I... why am I with the Sect Master..."

"Where are my clothes?"

Bibi Dong panicked like a little girl and looked around, only to discover that this was her own room.

She tried hard to recall what had happened last night, but she could not remember.

Long Xiao woke up too and rubbed his eyes. "Dong'er, what's wrong?"

Bibi Dong pretended to be angry. "Sect Master, how could you take advantage of me? My clothes, they're all..."

"Huh?"

Long Xiao looked utterly confused.

"I didn't do anything last night. You took your clothes off yourself."

He took the television from his Storage Ring and played the footage of Bibi Dong going wild last night.

Seeing the footage, Bibi Dong covered her face. "Ah, this is so embarrassing."

Long Xiao innocently spread his arms, then used the blanket to cover Bibi Dong's exposed spring light.
