chapter 378

Is the Qing Qiu Clan so bold? In the Immortal Du Hall, the shy words of the vixen made the elders in the sect exclaim in their hearts. On the other hand, the dozen or so experts of the Qing Qiu Clan were all smiling, as if… they were proud?

That was probably the talent of the race. Ling’e stood up with a faint smile and bowed to the fox girl. “Senior, please sit with me… My master is focused on cultivation and is not good at dealing with such situations. Senior, please take note of my master’s clean reputation.”

As she spoke, Ling’e put on a stern expression and calmly sat in the back seat. Her cultivation level was already at the Heaven Immortal realm, and she was the fastest person in the history of the Immortal Du Sect! At that moment, even if she scolded the Qing Qiu Clan, the Immortal Du Sect would definitely support her.

Ling’e’s actions were not purely out of impulse. She had a few considerations.

The most important thing was to use this opportunity to directly express the attitude that the master and disciples of the Little Qiong Peak had towards the vixens. It would allow the upper echelons of the Immortal Du Sect to have a good idea of what to do and not arrange marriages for their Peak Leader.

Li Changshou chuckled in his heart. The vixen pursed her lips and thanked Ling’e. She lowered her head and sat in Ling’e’s original seat. Then, the vixen moved closer to Li Changshou and looked at the old Daoist priest beside her. He looked at her affectionately.

Ling’e pursed her lips and muttered in her heart, “Fairy Yun Xiao, come and take a look. Someone has a bold idea for my senior brother!” “Daoist Priest…”

The vixen called softly. Her body almost collapsed on the short table. She supported her face with her slender hand and looked at Li Changshou’s paper effigy. Li Changshou reacted according to the way his master usually would. At first, he revealed a forced and embarrassed smile. Then, he looked ahead and focused on listening to the people from the Immortal Du Sect and the Qing Qiu Clan.

Half of what happened today was caused by Li Changshou. The last time Li Changshou had scolded demons in the Immortal Du Sect, he had used the Qing Qiu Clan as an example. He had even described the Qing Qiu Clan as a race that pursued love and equality to support his point of view. This matter was widely spread in the Primordial World. It was regarded as a classic way to scold demons!

However, he did not expect that the Qing Qiu Clan would take it seriously…

The Qing Qiu Clan really thought that the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, who had the backing of Ren School, was very impressed by them! This time, they had come to the Immortal Du Sect to give gifts mainly because they wanted to establish a connection with the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. At the same time, they wanted to build a strong and spacious sect like Ren School… For that, the Qing Qiu Clan thought of a brilliant idea to kill two birds with one stone. “Sect Leader Wuyou.” The old woman with the strongest aura smiled and said, “How about I become in-laws with your Immortal Du Sect?”

Ji Wuyou, who was drinking tea, could not help but cough again. Are all demons so bold and straightforward?

If Ling’e had said those words before, perhaps Sect Leader Ji Wuyou would have nodded and agreed.

But now…

“Fellow Daoist, you must be joking.” Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “The Immortal Du Sect is a place for cultivation outside the world. How can there be a marriage? Moreover, the Ren School adheres to the principle of maintaining peace and quietness. We cannot force the Qi Refinement cultivators in the sect to do anything that goes against their conscience.” “How can this be considered coercion? How does it go against your conscience?” A wealthy-looking old demon smiled and said, “Look at Xiao Lan of our Qing Qiu clan. She has already made up her mind.”

Exalted Wang Qing frowned slightly. He looked at the situation and said calmly, “However, the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect do not have any thoughts about the members of your Qing Qiu Clan.”

The old man said, “Isn’t that just a matter that can be settled after getting to know each other for ten days or half a month!?!”

“You can’t say that.” A Grand Elder of the Immortal Du Sect said, “The disciples of the Immortal Du Sect cultivate their hearts and minds. When it comes to romance…”

The elder’s tone weakened.

“They all have their own opinions.”

Li Changshou was amused when he heard that. However, he still looked a little nervous and did not reveal any flaws. The two sides began to calm down and stopped replying each other harshly. The fox demon, Xiao Lan, looked intently at Li Changshou’s side profile as if no one was around. From time to time, she would reveal a gentle smile…

It was as if that moment was enough.

How should I deal with this matter?

Li Changshou used his immortal senses to look at his master, who was sound asleep on the Little Qiong Peak, and then at the vixen.

At that moment, Master was at the end of his relationship. It would be easy for the vixen to take advantage of him… Putting aside whether his master could take it or not, what would happen to him and Ling’e if the Little Qiong Peak had a fox girl as their master’s wife?

The answer was no.

If she wanted to marry into the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou would definitely bury something in her soul. Just a Heavenly Dao oath was not safe.

“Qi Yuan… Qi Yuan…”

The vixen hurriedly said, “Daoist Priest, say something.” “Oh.” Li Changshou pretended to be in a daze and immediately looked at the Sect Leader who was calling him. He stood up, lowered his head, and walked away from the short table. At that moment, he had acted like a stubborn Turbid Immortal who cared about etiquette! “I was thinking about something just now. Please forgive me, Sect Leader.” “Qi Yuan, bring Fellow Daoist Lan around the mountain first. Come back to the hall in half a day and give us an answer.” Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about anything or consider anything else. You can decide for yourself. If you can’t make up your mind, go and discuss it with your disciple.”

Half a day…

The Immortal Du Sect gave Qing Qiu some face and allowed Qi Yuan to spend half a day alone with Qing Qiu Lan. They wanted to see if Qing Qiu Lan could move Qi Yuan.

Six hours was neither long nor short. It would prevent them from developing feelings for each other after spending too much time togethe and would also allow them to understand each other. Li Changshou turned around and made an inviting gesture.

The fox girl at the side became nervous. She stood up gently and bowed to Li Changshou. Then, she lowered her head and followed the old Daoist priest Qi Yuan out of the Immortal Du Hall.

Ling’e and Jiu Jiu were about to follow when an old woman from the Immortal Du Sect stopped them with a smile

“Don’t worry. It’s impossible for her to hurt your master in our sect.” Lingle and Jiu Jiu could only wait in the hall temporarily. The two of them were not worried about Li Changshou’s situation. Instead, they began to pity the Qing Qiu vixen who had found the wrong person from the beginning.

Some time passed.

“Are you lost?”

Creak, creak… The wooden sign hanging on the tree branch swayed back and forth. The vixen could not help but pat her forehead in frustration. As soon as she left the Immortal Du Hall, she followed “Qi Yuan” to the Little Qiong Peak. She took a stroll in the forest with the person in her dream and inexplicably fell into the array formation alone…

She sighed softly. “Daoist Priest, are you not even willing to give me half a day of your time?” The vixen’s expression was rather sad. She stood there in silence for a while before suddenly coming to a realization.

“Daoist Priest, are you testing my understanding of array formations?” At that moment, the fox girl walked forward and searched everywhere. It was naturally difficult for her to escape the array formation.

In the straw hut by the lake, Li Changshou had already shaken his master awake. He helped his master sober up and shouted, “Master! The demons are attacking!” “What?!” Qi Yuan jumped up, picked up his horsetail whisk, and rushed towards the door. He shouted, “The time for me to sacrifice myself has finally come!” Li Changshou tilted his head. Why was that his master’s first reaction?

Qi Yuan rushed out of the house and realized that something was amiss. He turned around and glared at Li Changshou. “Where did the demons come from!?!”

“Master, look.” Li Changshou pointed at a cloud mirror and saw the situation in the trapping array. The enchanting vixen was searching for something. Qi Yuan naturally recognized the vixen. He frowned and whispered, “Disciple, why is she here again?” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission and smiled. “Master, don’t be anxious. I’ll send someone to the Elder Moon Hall to ask about this matter and take a look at your marriage. This vixen seems to be determined about you, Master.” Qi Yuan sighed and said, “I’ll go and explain to her.” “This woman has been deeply intoxicated. She can’t be cured with words.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “Moreover, Master, if you enter the array directly, I’m worried that she will…”

“Why?”

“She might force you.” Qi Yuan could not help but raise his hand to press down on the collar of his Daoist robe. His face turned pale. “Your master has been innocent his entire life! He can’t!”

Li Changshou said, “Don’t worry. I’m here… Master, wait. I’ll take a look at your marriage.” Li Changshou paused and gestured for his master to calm down. He immediately closed his eyes and focused.

At the same time, the paper effigy of the Water God in the Heavenly Courts had already arrived at Elder Moon’s Hall of Marriage. He was warmly welcomed by Elder Moon… Li Changshou decided to use a simple excuse. Recently, the demons and Ren School have become enemies with the Heavenly Courts. I want to see if the disciples of Ren School have a marriage with the demons. If they do, it will be easier for me to plan in advance.

Why would Elder Moon not agree? Then, Elder Moon led the Water God to the rear hall and quickly summoned the clay figurines of the six immortal sects of Ren School.

There were more than ten pairs of Dao companions who were related to the demons. The most eye-catching ones were Qi Yuan, a Turbid Immortal from the Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, and Xiao Lan, a woman from the Qing Qiu Clan! At that moment, his master’s clay figurine only had one end. The end of the line corresponded to Jiu Yushi’s clay figurine. The vixen Xiao Lan’s clay figurine, only had a red string. However, the red string was tied to Qi Yuan’s clay figurine’s waist. He even gave him a death penalty!

“This!”

Elder Moon’s eyes widened. Almost instantly, his forehead was covered by cold sweat.

Li Changshou wanted to ask Elder Moon why he did that, but he saw that Elder Moon was not in the right state and reacted quickly… “Elder Moon, what’s going on?”

“Have I been drinking recently?”

Elder Moon asked in return. Then, he pointed at the three clay figurines. He could not say a complete sentence. His expression became even more anxious.

A moment later, Elder Moon sorted out his thoughts and said, “That’s not right! Previously, when Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan came to the Heavenly Courts, I had already taken action and helped Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan and Jiu Yushi, who is closer to him, get closer. I even tied a marriage knot! Why did the red string break? It even connected to the demoness…”

“Elder Moon!”

Li Changshou interrupted Elder Moon and frowned. “Be careful with your words! Apart from you, who else can affect the Hall of Marriage?”

“The Hall of Marriage…”

Elder Moon shook his head and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He kept muttering to himself.

The Hall of Marriage was an important place in the Heavenly Dao. Even a powerful Great Daoist Master would not be able to hide from Elder Moon’s tricks…

The two children could not come into contact with Elder Moon’s scissors. Moreover, Elder Moon rarely made such a huge mistake… Soon, Elder Moon trembled. He looked up at Li Changshou and said in a low voice, “That embroidered ball, the red embroidered ball that once presided over the wedding, can definitely do that.” Li Changshou fell silent. Goddess Nuwa?

Why did she do that? She is a young fox demon while he is a Turbid Immortal who might not even be able to defeat an Essence Immortal in a battle…

There must be a deeper meaning behind the Goddess’ actions. She could not possibly be there to watch a good show. Could it be that there is an earth-shattering scheme behind this that I can’t see yet? “Elder Moon, apart from the red embroidered ball…” “There’s no other possibility.” Elder Moon looked at the rear hall and said in a low voice, “The Hall of Marriage and the various temples of the Heavenly Courts are formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao. They are important places that are protected by the Heavenly Dao. The red embroidered ball that should have been in the Hall of Marriage is more powerful than me, the guardian spirit.” Li Changshou looked at the red string and could only remain silent. Elder Moon added, “I can’t touch it. I definitely can’t touch it! Lord Water God, you must believe in me. Even if I had some guts, I would not dare to have such thoughts of causing trouble for myself in your marriage!” “Forget it. Thank you for your guidance, Elder Moon. I’ll think of another way.”

Li Changshou turned around and was about to leave when his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and looked at his master’s marriage clay figurine.

In a daze, he saw this scene.

Elder Moon came from outside the hall and summoned Qi Yuan’s clay figurine. He looked at Qi Yuan and Jiu Yushi’s clay figurine and first used the Acacia Tree to poke the two of them a few times. Then, he pulled the red string that was originally a little far away from them together and tied a knot. However, after Elder Moon left in satisfaction, the two red strings swayed gently and were broken again. Jiu Yushi’s clay figurine even retracted most of the red strings.

The scene stopped abruptly, leaving behind a few familiar Dao runes.

Indeed, the Saint had taken action. That scene was telling Li Changshou that it was not her who had broken up Jiu Yushi’s marriage with Qi Yuan, nor was it Elder Moon who had secretly done something. At the same time, Goddess Nuwa had also admitted that she was the one who had entangled the red string of the fox demon. This is… Have you seen enough hot-blooded men? Do you want to change your taste and see what romance is like?

Li Changshou could not help but complain. He felt a headache coming on. The image of the goddess by the lake holding her face with both hands and looking at the mirror with anticipation surfaced in his mind.

It made Li Changshou feel extremely troubled! After bidding farewell to Elder Moon, Li Changshou’s attention returned to the Little Qiong Peak. At that moment, he still did not believe that the Goddess Nuwa would intervene because she wanted to see the story. He had always felt that she had other plans.

At that moment, he could not go against Goddess Nuwa!

The “frivolous senior” had been reduced to scraps before the six Saints appeared. Li Changshou did not dare to have any thoughts about the six “winners” of the ancient times. On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou looked at his master, who was pacing back and forth, and muttered to himself… “Master?”

“Huh?”

“You really have no feelings for this vixen?” “Of course.” Qi Yuan said, “Do you think I’m a perverted demon? How can I lose my composure because of a woman’s beauty?”

Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand. “Why don’t you… try it first?”

“So what if I try?” Qi Yuan swept his horsetail whisk and rode a cloud on his own. He headed towards the maze and successfully saw the token. It read: “Are you lost?”

Qi Yuan snorted softly and stood still. He held his horsetail whisk and closed his eyes to rest.

Not long after, Xiaolan, who was circling around in the array formation, walked over in a daze and barged into the array formation… “Daoist Priest!”

Qi Yuan shuddered when he heard that. His hair stood on ends and his Dao heart trembled.

He turned around and saw the beautiful woman rushing over in a dress.

Qi Yuan took half a step back and subconsciously said, “Fellow Daoist, please stop.” The vixen hurriedly stopped and smiled. Her eyes were shining and her fair skin was flushed. “You can finally see me, right?” “Fellow Daoist, to be honest, I don’t have any thoughts about you…”

“Then why do you avoid looking at me?”

Qi Yuan could not help but take two more steps back. At that moment, he was already a little flustered. “Fellow Daoist, you… please respect yourself.”

At that moment, Li Changshou had completely given up on his master. He began to think about how to stabilize the vixen and ensure that his master would not reveal his whereabouts…

There were some things that could not be hidden. Li Changshou quickly realized that the vixen had come prepared… At that moment, Jiu Jiu, Ling’e, Jiu Wu, and Jiu Shi returned to the Little Qiong Peak together. After meeting Li Changshou, Li Changshou opened a cloud mirror and observed the situation inside the array formation.

Not long after, Jiang Lin’er brought Jiu Yushi over and joined the crowd.

Moreover, the vixen’s behavior showed that she was still young and inexperienced…

She first asked, “Daoist Priest, can we sit down and talk?”

Qi Yuan frowned and nodded. The two of them sat three feet apart. After a moment of silence, the vixen began to pour her heart out. She told Qi Yuan about the fact that she had been longing for him day and night, as well as the scenes that she dreamed about every day.

She did not use any bewitching techniques.

An hour later, she said, “Even if you don’t want me to stay, I want to dance for you.” Qi Yuan could not bear to reject and nodded. The vixen stood up and took a few steps forward. She started dancing in the forest. Unknowingly, she had taken off her thin dress, and her dance was breathtaking… After the dance, she looked at Qi Yuan and saw that the old Daoist priest had a solemn expression. He nodded calmly and said, “Is it just this dance?”

Suddenly, Li Changshou shouted, “Master, your nose!”

Huh?

Qi Yuan blinked and raised his hand to touch his philtrum. However, his hand was stained with blood.

“Daoist Priest! What’s wrong?!” The vixen shouted and turned into a gust of fragrance. She hurriedly flew in front of Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan’s cultivation level was not high. Before he could dodge, a slender hand pressed his nose and mouth shut. He subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed that slender hand. The forest immediately quietened down. The two of them looked at each other. The old Daoist priest and the vixen were beaming.

The old Daoist priest moved his hand away like he had touched a thorn. However, the vixen’s eyes were filled with tenderness. She said in a low voice, “Daoist priest, I’ll help you heal.”

“Um… Okay!”

Outside the array formation, Li Changshou and his Grandmaster, Uncle-Master, Aunt-Master, Junior Sister, and Cousin stood in unison and supported their foreheads unanimously for the first time.

I can’t look at him. I can’t. I can’t.
