The other fairies turned their heads to look, and sure enough they saw Wu Dewang hiding behind the tree. They immediately became angry. Some fairies quickly put on their clothes, while others jumped out of the water and rushed towards Wu Dewang.
"Oops! Misunderstanding! I was just passing by!" Wu Dewang hurriedly explained, but it was too late. The fairies tied him up, making him as embarrassed as Zhu Bajie back then.
"You shameless Daoist priest, how dare you peek at us bathing!" a fairy said angrily.
Wu Dewang argued with a bitter face. "Fairy sisters, I really misunderstood. I followed that boy. He deliberately led me here..."
Gu Sheng walked out of the peach blossom forest and looked at the tied Wu Dewang with a smile, "Oh? You said I lured you here on purpose? What evidence is there?"
Wu Dewang is speechless. He really has no evidence and can only admit that he is unlucky. When the fairies saw this, they were even more angry and decided to hand over the Daoist priest to the elders.
"Gu Sheng, thank you very much this time." A fairy said softly to Gu Sheng with gratitude in her eyes, "If it weren't for you, we don't know what this shameless Daoist priest would have done."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It's such a small effort, so worth mentioning. It's just that this Daoist priest is greedy, so you should be more careful in the future."
After that, he said goodbye politely to the fairies, and then walked towards the deeper waters of Yaochi. With a thought in his mind, he began to slowly take off his clothes, preparing to enjoy a rare bath in this fairyland.
At this moment, Grass Vine Demonic Soul transformed into blossoming Green Lotus, spreading out on the surface of Yaochi at an astonishing speed. In an instant, the beautiful scenery of infinite blue lotus leaves reaching the sky appeared in front of you. Green Lotus swayed gently on the sparkling water, exuding a light fragrance.
This stunning scenery immediately attracted the attention of other fairies. They all stopped what they were doing and curiously swam towards the area where lotus leaves were growing wildly. Gu Sheng had already started taking a bath at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw this.
"Hey, don't come over here, I'm taking a bath here!" He tried to stop the fairies from approaching, but he was answered with laughter like silver bells.
"Giggle...Gu Sheng, why are you shy? We are all fairies, what's wrong with taking a bath together?" one of the fairies said mischievously.
Gu Sheng was speechless. He found that he felt like he was among thousands of flowers, and was surrounded by a group of curious fairies. He smiled bitterly in his heart, this was truly an unprecedented experience.
At the same time, Wu Dewang, who was tied to a big tree by the lake, watched this scene eagerly. His heart was full of envy and jealousy, but more importantly, he was helpless and regretful. If I hadn't been so greedy, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Oh, dear fairy sisters, please take pity on me and untie me!" Wu Dewang begged, but his voice was soon drowned out by the laughter of the fairies.
Gu Sheng had given up struggling at this moment. He closed his eyes and let Green Lotus and the fairies surround him. In this fairyland of Yaochi, he felt an unprecedented tranquility and relaxation.
As time passed, the fairies gradually dispersed, leaving only Gu Sheng still bathing in the pool. He felt the cool water brushing his body, and the fatigue and worries in his heart seemed to dissipate with the water.
"Tick tock, tick tock", water drops kept dripping from the tips of Gu Sheng's hair. He had just walked out of the Yaochi, and his whole body was still exuding a light fragrance. His state of mind became peaceful and clear at this moment, as if he had undergone a baptism. He got dressed, neat and energetic, and then looked back at Wu Dewang who was tied to the tree.
At this time, Wu Dewang was tied to the tree by Wu Hua Da, looking particularly embarrassed. He looked at Gu Sheng, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Tell me, why are you following me?" Gu Sheng's eyes were like knives, piercing Wu Dewang's heart.
Wu Dewang pretended to be stupid at first, but Gu Sheng's eyes made him unable to continue pretending. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I... I heard that you got the Green Copper tablet and Demon Emperor's Heart, these two treasures, I... I want one."
Gu Sheng sneered, "You want one? Why?"
Wu Dewang quickly explained, "Of course, I don't want it for nothing, I am willing to use my treasures in exchange!"
Gu Sheng heard a trace of interest in his eyes. He wanted to see what treasures this greedy Daoist priest could come up with.
"Oh? Then let me see your treasure first."
Wu Dewang There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he said hesitantly, "I... my treasures are all in the storage bag, but you have to promise me first before I can show it to you."
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Do you think I will believe you easily? Show me the treasure first, and then I will consider whether to agree to you."
Wu Dewang had no choice but to take out the treasures one by one from the storage bag. The first is a string of crystal clear necklaces, each bead exudes a soft light, as if it contains endless vitality.
"This is Life Bead Necklace. The wearer can speed up cultivation and recover from injuries." Wu Dewang proudly introduced.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, but he did not speak and motioned for Wu Dewang to continue.
Wu Dewang took out a long sword again, the blade of the sword flashed with cold light, and you could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary sword. "This is Ice Sword. It can cut through all obstacles and is extremely sharp."
Then, Wu Dewang displayed another treasure, each of which was eye-catching. But Gu Sheng never expressed his position. He knew in his heart that although these treasures were precious, they were still inferior to the Green Copper tablets and Demon Emperor's Heart.
"Is that all there is?" Gu Sheng asked calmly.
Wu Dewang cursed secretly in his heart, but still reluctantly took out the last treasure from the storage bag. It was a small jade bottle, containing a golden elixir.
"This is Golden Body Pill. After taking it, it can greatly increase the physical strength. It is a rare treasure." Wu Dewang said with some reluctance.
Gu Sheng looked at these treasures and couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart. But he knew that he could not agree to Wu Dewang easily. He looked at Wu Dewang with a cunning light in his eyes.
"These treasures are good, but compared with the Green Copper tablets and Demon Emperor's Heart in my hand, they are still a little inferior." Gu Sheng said slowly.
Wu Dewang Hearing this, his heart tightened. He knows that Gu Sheng is a difficult opponent. If he doesn't show enough sincerity, it may be difficult to impress him. So he gritted his teeth and took out another treasure from the storage bag.
This is a black stone tablet with some ancient runes engraved on it. Wu Dewang said mysteriously, "This is Demon Suppressing Stele, which can suppress all evil forces. I got it from an ancient ruins."
Gu Sheng looked at this Demon Suppressing Stele and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He could feel the mysterious power emanating from this stone tablet, as if it could suppress everything.
But Gu Sheng didn't show much surprise. He looked at Wu Dewang calmly and said, "These treasures are good, but compared with the Green Copper tablets and Demon Emperor's Heart in my hand..."
"I know, I know!" Wu Dewang hurriedly interrupted Gu Sheng, "I am willing to give you all the treasures, as long as you give me one treasure!"
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, knowing that Wu Dewang was already anxious. But he didn't want to agree to Wu Dewang so easily. He looked at Wu Dewang and said slowly, "These treasures are indeed very precious, but if you want to use them in exchange for my treasure, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Wu Dewang Hearing this, his heart sank. He knows that Gu Sheng is a smart man and will not be easily fooled. So he took a deep breath, looked at Gu Sheng and said, "Then tell me, what conditions do you want in exchange?"
Gu Sheng looked at Wu Dewang's anxious look and couldn't help but smile to himself. He thought for a while and said, "Unless you tell me the origin and secret of these treasures, I will not exchange them easily."
Wu Dewang felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He knew that the source and secret of these treasures were his biggest trump card, but if he didn't tell them, he might not be able to get the Gu Sheng treasure. He hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll tell you the origin and secret of these treasures!"
However, at the moment when Wu Dewang was about to speak, Gu Sheng suddenly released Grass Vine Demonic Soul and entangled Wu Dewang again.
"Ah! What are you doing?!" Wu Dewang shouted in horror. But it was too late, Gu Sheng began to carefully search Wu Dewang's body and found all his treasures, including the piece of Demon Suppressing Stele.
"You... how could you do this?!" Wu Dewang shouted angrily. But Gu Sheng ignored him, just looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think I will trust you easily? I will accept these treasures. As for your conditions..."
"Ah——!" Wu Dewang's roar echoed in Yaochi, full of anger and unwillingness. His eyes almost burst out with fire as he watched Gu Sheng's back retreating.
Gu Sheng had a smile on his face, and his heart was full of pride. He jumped lightly and disappeared into the dense forest. He was secretly glad that he not only got all the treasures of Wu Dewang, but also made this greedy Daoist priest suffer.
"Hmph, greedy guy, this is your fate!" Gu Sheng mocked in his heart.
The anger in Wu Dewang's heart at this moment was beyond words. He felt that he had been completely played by Gu Sheng. His greed not only caused him to lose all his treasures, but also put him in such an embarrassing situation at this moment.
"How could I be so stupid that I believed that kid's lies!" Wu Dewang cursed in his heart, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes. But now, it's too late.
Gu Sheng walked on the road in a happy mood. He looked at the treasures in his hands one by one, and he was satisfied with each one. But he knew that although these treasures were precious, they were still inferior to the Green Copper tablets and Demon Emperor's Heart.
"Those two treasures are the real treasures, these are just unexpected surprises." Gu Sheng thought to himself.
At the same time, Wu Dewang struggled in Yaochi, trying to break free. But his efforts were in vain and only made him angrier and more desperate.
"That bastard!" Wu Dewang cursed through gritted teeth, "I will never let him go!"
But after the anger, Wu Dewang also began to calm down and reflect on himself.
"I need to practice again." Wu Dewang secretly made up his mind, "Only strength is the last word."
At this moment, Gu Sheng was completely immersed in his victory. He did not expect that Wu Dewang would have such profound reflection and change.
"Everyone has their own path to take, Wu Dewang, I hope you can learn from this experience." Gu Sheng thought to himself.
Night falls and the stars are shining brightly. Gu Sheng settled down in a cave far away from Yaochi. He lit the bonfire, and the firelight reflected his satisfied smile. He took out Wu Dewang's treasures one by one, looking at each one carefully, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
"I really made a lot of money this time." Gu Sheng murmured to himself, his eyes shining with excitement.
And in the Yaochi in the distance, Wu Dewang is still tied to the tree. In the night, his eyes shone with determination.
"I was really too greedy before." Wu Dewang thought to himself, "In order to pursue these external things, I would do anything at all costs. I am really stupid."
"I can't just sink in like this." Wu Dewang gritted his teeth, "I want to practice again and get back everything I lost!"
"Gu Sheng" The sound of birds chirping in the early morning woke up Gu Sheng from his deep sleep. He rubbed his hazy eyes, sat up from the stone bed, and stretched. A new day has begun, and for Wu Dewang, this is also the beginning of his new life.
After a night of struggle and hard work, he finally broke free. At this moment, he was standing by the Yaochi, looking at the sparkling water, and his heart was full of determination.
"Gu Sheng, I, Wu Dewang, will remember the humiliation and blow you gave me." He whispered to himself, "One day, I will make you pay the price!"
His eyes shone with a cold light, as if he had seen the revenge scene in the future.
The night is hazy and the stars are shining brightly. Gu Sheng walked alone through Star Gazing Courtyard, the sound of footsteps echoing in the quiet courtyard. The purpose of his trip was clear, which was to meet Jade Pool Saintess and give him the precious Dream Butterfly Atlas in his hand.
Deep in Star Gazing Courtyard, an elegant pavilion stands quietly, with light shining through the window lattice, casting mottled light and shadow. Gu Sheng gently knocked on the door, and the door opened in response, revealing the fairy-like figure of Jade Pool Saintess.
"Mr. Gu, I'm here late at night. What's the important thing?" Jade Pool Saintess's voice was as sweet as the sound of nature.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, took out the book Dream Butterfly Atlas from his arms, and held it up with both hands, "Saintess, I came here this time to give you this atlas."
Jade Pool Saintess's eyes flashed, he took the atlas, and after opening it, a look of surprise appeared on his face. On the map, butterflies are dancing gracefully, each one is lifelike, as if it can fly out of the paper at any time. She touched the butterflies gently and felt her fingertips tingling slightly, as if there was a mysterious power flowing in the map.
"This Dream Butterfly Atlas is indeed an extraordinary thing." Jade Pool Saintess admired softly and looked up at Gu Sheng, "Such an important treasure, Master, are you really willing to give it to me?"
"This map is a waste in my hands." Gu Sheng shook his head and said, "Saintess practices mystery, maybe I can understand its secrets."
The two looked at each other and smiled, with a subtle ambiguity in the atmosphere. Jade Pool Saintess gently closed the atlas and put it back in Gu Sheng's hand, "I appreciate your kindness. But the atlas is too precious and I cannot accept it."
