177: Cinnabar

Receiving the Heavenly Dao's reply, the Scarlet-Clad Girl blinked, her gaze turning to Floating Slaughter Sword Master.

The disdain in her eyes was clearly visible.

Those scarlet flame eyes could speak, and their meaning was clear.

star fury, that's your lie.

What you told the Heavenly Dao doesn't match up at all.

Someone else's loving Dao Companion, and you spread rumors that it's star fury?

Do you still have a conscience?

“…”

Floating Slaughter Sword Master's gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if he was still in shock.

How could it be like this?

He felt his intelligence was insulted; clearly, the Heavenly Dao didn't say that before.

After the Scarlet-Clad Girl asked, it made him look like a clown!

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Or… little gourd Spirit Treasure, do you have anything you want to explain for your master?”

Seeing Floating Slaughter Sword Master remain silent, the Scarlet-Clad Girl raised her delicate brows slightly and spoke indifferently.

“This Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao, it’s not right.”

“Absolutely not right!”

The little gourd Spirit Treasure suddenly spoke, its tone somewhat agitated!

“Before, the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao didn’t say that!”

“Its behavior isn’t right either; there’s a problem here, this Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao has a big problem!”

“It definitely lied!”

The little gourd was Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s mouthpiece, directly speaking his true thoughts.

That scene when the Scarlet-Clad Girl asked just now was too explosive!

The style was completely different from when they asked before!

Damn it!

Is this Heavenly Dao poisoned?!

The Scarlet-Clad Girl’s brows furrowed as high as a mountain: “What problem?”

“The facts are laid out before you, do you still want to quibble?”

“You expect me to believe you over the Heavenly Dao?”

“Everyone knows what the Heavenly Dao is, and this time it’s another ask. Under the rules, it cannot lie.”

“Floating Slaughter Sword Master, you truly disappoint me.”

Hearing the Scarlet-Clad Girl’s cold voice, Floating Slaughter Sword Master frowned.

He said coldly: “I have a grudge with the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao; it deliberately harmed me.”

The Scarlet-Clad Girl mocked: “A grudge? You are a person of the Immortal Realm; when you rose to power, the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao poured a lot into you. Now you’ve formed a grudge? Or is it just because the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao is constrained by rules and spoke the truth, you want to turn against it?”

“How impressive. Someone who has a chance to become an Immortal Emperor is actually bickering with a Heavenly Dao.”

“No wonder you even slander your own sister; you truly have no shame.”

The Scarlet-Clad Girl’s sharp tongue made Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s chest heave.

The little gourd quickly said: “Esteemed Envoy, it’s true! When we sought the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao for answers before, this Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao was so arrogant. It’s not that we slander it; it said itself that it was an enemy!”

“We used the AsktheHeaven Divine Talisman, and before we could say two sentences, it said goodbye.”

“We finally got to ask again, and it demanded a high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure and Karma! I’ve never seen such a greedy Heavenly Dao.”

“It is a complete and utter liar.”

【This Heavenly Dao does not lie; please do not slander it.】

At this moment, golden characters appeared in the Void Realm.

Brief and powerful, honest and sincere.

The Scarlet-Clad Girl looked at that line of golden characters, as if she could feel its grievance, and quickly comforted it: “Alright, Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao, you can go back.”

“They even slander the Heavenly Dao; they have no bottom line whatsoever. No need to explain, I believe you.”

【Goodbye.】

The Heavenly Dao was aloof; having completed its mission, it decisively exited.

Seeing the communication between the Scarlet-Clad Girl and the Heavenly Dao, Floating Slaughter Sword Master and the little gourd were completely speechless.

They felt very aggrieved!

But being aggrieved was useless.

Even though they knew this Heavenly Dao was absolutely abnormal, unless they killed the Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao right now, it would be of no avail.

All of this was because the Heavenly Dao Race’s credibility was too strong.

In the countless vast worlds, each world had a Heavenly Dao governing it.

And every single Heavenly Dao was exactly the same: ruthless, indifferent, rigidly neutral, and rational to the extreme.

At their Realm, they all had a basic understanding of the Heavenly Dao. Some Heavenly Daos of lower-Rank worlds even interacted frequently.

With an entire Heavenly Dao Race as a credit endorsement, no matter how they accused the Heavenly Dao, no one would believe them.

Because… the Heavenly Dao is the will of rules!

Who the hell has ever seen a rule will with emotions?

This simply did not conform to common sense!

“Alright.”

“The matter ends here.”

“Floating Slaughter Sword Master, you really can’t go on like this anymore.”

“I hope that after you witness how excellent a true Heavenly Mandate Protagonist is, you will enter seclusion and temper your state of mind well.”

“If you can achieve an Epiphany, with your talent, you still have a chance to contend for the Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Opportunity and gain eligibility to join the Alliance. We are acquaintances, and I truly do not wish for you to fall into depravity.”

The Scarlet-Clad Girl, seeing Floating Slaughter Sword Master speechless, lectured him.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master still remained silent, his knuckles cracking, evidently not listening.

The Scarlet-Clad Girl’s expression grew colder, and she took a deep look at the little gourd at Floating Slaughter Sword Master’s waist.

This person has come to this point; he succeeded because of this Dao Artifact, and he also failed because of this Dao Artifact.

I have said all I needed to say. I hope he can understand my painstaking efforts.

Now it’s time for serious business.

She was inexplicably looking forward to interacting with this Heavenly Mandate Protagonist.

The Scarlet-Clad Girl flipped her wrist, taking out the Grandmist book. Her cold, oval face suddenly bloomed into a smile, bringing everything back to life, bright and beautiful.

She stepped with her snow-white jade feet, descending towards Chu Feng’s location below.

The girl’s steps were not fast, and the small bells on her ankles gently swayed.

Ding-ding-dong~~

Ding-ding-dong~~

As her jade feet moved, it was very rhythmic and light-paced, inexplicably adding a touch of cuteness to the girl’s proud demeanor.

The Scarlet-Clad Girl’s fiery red eyes looked at the handsome black-robed man below.

The man was holding Su Ji, deep in thought.

Falling into depravity?

Sounds a bit exciting.

Outwardly, he was unperturbed, his right hand gently stroking Su Ji’s snow-white long hair, his fingers running through her tresses, soothing her back and forth: “No need to be sad.”

“Why care about the words of a dying person?”

Su Ji, this peerless beauty, her exposed jade shoulders subtly trembled, her watery eyes glistening with tears, a sight that would move anyone to pity, yet her fists were tightly clenched, filled with immense anger.

Hearing Chu Feng’s words, she responded with a slightly hoarse voice: “Husband, I’m fine.”

“I just didn’t expect the reunion to be so quick. You must be careful of him.”

Chu Feng smiled indifferently, saying casually: “Careful? He should be careful of me.”

“Come.”

His palm flashed.

A verdant green flute appeared in his left palm. He placed it into Su Ji’s hand: “A little trinket for you. Practice your flute playing skills well.”

Su Ji was stunned upon hearing this.

Her sadness suddenly dissipated, leaving only a blush.

This person is always so improper.

Floating Slaughter Sword Master, that scoundrel, has returned, yet he’s still joking.

She lowered her head, inadvertently glancing at the verdant green flute in her palm, and her eyes widened in shock.

A high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure?

Isn’t this the one my husband was playing with earlier…

“Husband, no. It’s too valuable.”

Su Ji quickly refused.

A high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure, even when she was the Clan Chief of the Sky Sword Clan, she only had one or two.

She didn’t expect her husband to casually give her one. Even though she knew he was wealthy, Su Ji had her own principles and bottom line.

This was a high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure; each one was incredibly precious. Even an Invincible Immortal King needed to cherish it carefully.

Just because my husband gives it, should I take it?

That’s not right.

“Eh?”

At this moment, the Scarlet-Clad Girl descended.

Seeing the two so lovingly, she smiled sweetly, feeling a little joyful in her heart.

These two, a talented man and a beautiful woman, are truly a perfect match; a bit enjoyable to watch.

Indeed, that cute Heavenly Dao was not wrong.

Their affection is truly good.

A high-grade immortal king spiritual treasure, given away just like that—isn’t this ironclad proof of their unyielding love?

This Floating Slaughter Sword Master is truly a bad egg.

She hated people who stirred up trouble and maliciously spread rumors the most.

If it really were that star fury, would he give such a thing?

An inexplicable surge of disgust towards Floating Slaughter Sword Master arose in the Scarlet-Clad Girl’s heart.

【Heavenly Mandate Protagonist Floating Slaughter Sword Master was disliked by the heavenly destiny female lead Scarlet Sand. He consequently lost a major Opportunity. Under the blessing of his fate, his Destiny Value decreased by 300,000 points. You have obtained 3 upper-grade heavenly mandate treasure chests.】

Hearing the System prompt, Chu Feng was somewhat surprised.

The Destiny Value was cut too suddenly; he didn’t even have time to use the critical strike talisman.

Chu Feng’s gaze met the Scarlet-Clad Girl’s fiery red, glazed eyes.

As expected, she is a heavenly destiny female lead.

I didn’t even make a move, and Floating Slaughter Sword Master was already disliked?

Interesting. Is the White Moonlight’s effect still because of that husky?

“Fellow Daoist, are you also proficient in the Dao of Music?”

The Scarlet-Clad Girl did not meet his gaze but rather fixed her eyes on the verdant flute in Su Ji’s hand. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she spoke abruptly.

Proficient in the Dao of Music?

Is this something that can be said in public?

Chu Feng blinked, appraising the Scarlet-Clad Girl.

The girl’s pink lips lifted slightly, her eyes fiery red yet bright.

She gently straightened her waist, her sunset-red dress subtly highlighted. Having grown accustomed to Su Ji’s figure, one could only say, poor yet generous.

Although the girl was very generous, her earlier conversation with Floating Slaughter Sword Master up above was still elegant and proper.

Why is she suddenly being so suggestive?

He didn’t explain, saying indifferently: “Slightly.”

The Scarlet-Clad Girl smiled brightly: “I am a Great Master of the Dao of Music. If we have time another day, we can delve into a deep discussion.”

Chu Feng: “…”

He asked, feigning ignorance: “You are?”

“Just call me Hong’er.”

“I come from an insignificant Supreme Realm.”

“I came to the Immortal Realm to invite Fellow Daoist to join the Hongmeng Divine Alliance.”

The Scarlet-Clad Girl got straight to the point, taking out the hongmeng book and handing it to Chu Feng.
