If you point your filthy finger at him, I will kill you.

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

"Master has this kind of personality; she won't easily interfere in another's Dao. I don't blame her."

The Old Man patted Chu Xinghe on the shoulder.

"We old men are very satisfied with you being the Saint of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land."

Chu Xinghe wanted to ask more questions, but the Old Man had already vanished.

Chu Xinghe looked at a pavilion that remained and did not speak.

All those people had left just now.

Why hadn't this one left?

The main door opened.

A woman dressed in a sky-blue narcissus gown appeared, with bright eyes and white teeth.

An ice Phoenix crystal hairpin was tucked into her hair.

"Greetings, Saint Chu. My name is Shui Nianji."

"Hello."

"Is there something Miss Shui needs from me?"

Shui Nianji looked at Chu Xinghe generously and said, "I just feel that Young Master Chu is different from what Wanyin described."

Chu Xinghe did not reply.

Seeing Chu Xinghe's lukewarm attitude, Shui Nianji frowned.

"Young Master Chu, although you have an Immortal-Demon Body, the gap between you and the Jiang Family is too large. If you're sensible, you'll announce a break with Wanyin; you aren't worthy of her."

Chu Xinghe shook his head; it was this same old drama again.

"From the way you talk, you must be Wanyin's friend, and the power behind you isn't small. There's no need to show off your superiority here."

Shui Nianji froze, pointing a finger at Chu Xinghe.

"How audacious!"

The corner of Chu Xinghe's mouth quirked up.

"What? Are you afraid your friend will live a better life than you?"

Shui Nianji's chest heaved, and her breathing became rapid.

"Your temperament isn't as good as Wanyin's, your figure isn't as good as Wanyin's, and your strength isn't as great as Wanyin's. You intentionally approached Wanyin just to sow discord, didn't you?"

"When Wanyin was with the Su Family in Qinghai City, I didn't see you caring about her. Now that you're so concerned, isn't it just because you're afraid she'll live better than you?"

"I am a Sacred Physique after all, and we have a mutual affection. You have no one to love you, so you envy Wanyin and are jealous of Wanyin."

Shui Nianji's body trembled with rage.

"I'm not, I didn't!"

Chu Xinghe waved his hand.

"Please go back, Miss Shui."

Shui Nianji felt like she had thrown a punch into cotton.

A trace of killing intent emerged in the depths of her eyes.

"Chu Xinghe, do you know the consequences of offending me?" Shui Nianji roared at Chu Xinghe's back as he turned away.

*Slap!*

The sound of a heavy slap echoed through the air.

Shui Nianji clutched her face and turned to look at Zhongli Qingmeng.

"What are the consequences of offending you? Come, tell me."

Zhongli Qingmeng didn't even look Shui Nianji in the eye.

*Slap!*

Another slap sent her sprawling to the ground.

"I'm asking you a question. Have you gone mute?"

Shui Nianji looked at Zhongli Qingmeng, her eyes filled with deep wariness.

"Goddess Zhongli..."

"Ahhh!!!"

Veins popped on Shui Nianji's forehead, and her pupils contracted.

One of her hands had already been severed.

Zhongli Qingmeng crouched down, leaning close to Shui Nianji's ear.

"Ugly bitch, if you ever dare to point that filthy finger of yours at him again, I will kill you."

Shui Nianji's pupils shrank; she stopped screaming and pursed her lips tightly.

"Get out."

Shui Nianji left in a wretched state.

Zhongli Qingmeng came to Chu Xinghe's side and looked him up and down.

"You even talk back to such a beautiful woman? You're not going to try and win her over?"

Chu Xinghe looked at Zhongli Qingmeng strangely and said, "I have a fairy by my side who is wealthy, beautiful, and has a powerful background. Why would I not pursue her and instead try to please that idiot?"

Zhongli Qingmeng covered her mouth and laughed.

She found that being with Chu Xinghe was indeed quite joyful.

"If she whispers in Jiang Wanyin's ear, Jiang Wanyin might end up hating you."

"I actually hope that silly girl does that," Chu Xinghe said thoughtfully.

"Silly or not aside, you certainly have ability. In just a few days, you've made someone love you to death."

"Are you jealous?" Chu Xinghe asked back.

Zhongli Qingmeng looked at Chu Xinghe.

"The more powerful and courageous a man is, the more attractive he is. He's like a poison that fascinates women; women are the same."

"Only incompetent women spend every day fighting over affection and being jealous."

"Instead of being consumed by jealousy, it's better to strengthen oneself."

Chu Xinghe's eyebrows rose; Zhongli Qingmeng was indeed extraordinary.

If this were his previous life, she would be a super career woman.

"You've offended quite a few people this time. The Shui Family won't dare to trouble me, so they'll definitely pin it on your head."

"The Great Yu Divine Martial King will be the same. As for the Great Yu Emperor, he's also an old schemer."

"He says nice things on the surface, but the one who lost face is someone he values—the one he enfeoffed as a King of a different surname. He will also pin this on you."

Chu Xinghe rubbed his temples; there was no helping it.

"Mainly, your Immortal-Demon Body has been exposed this time. I wonder if the Jiang Family will change their minds."

"Actually, you have that thought too, don't you?"

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

"A Sacred Physique is powerful, but a level like the Jiang Family won't care particularly much. By exposing it, I hope they'll consider things a bit more, nothing more."

"At least it will stop people from saying that silly girl has no eye for people."

He currently had no strength and no background.

He only had a decent Physique.

Chu Xinghe also knew well that a Prodigy who hadn't grown up was still just a Prodigy.

He was far too different from those powers that had stood in the Grand Void Heaven Realm for hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

Zhongli Qingmeng stared at Chu Xinghe in surprise; this way of thinking showed quite a bit of self-awareness.

In this cultivation world, not all young people possessed self-awareness.

"Actually, it's not like there's no chance."

Chu Xinghe rubbed his temples and spoke slowly.

Zhongli Qingmeng watched Chu Xinghe quietly.

In just a few days, the person before her seemed to have matured a great deal.

"Set out from here and challenge every Prodigy along the way, all the way to the Jiang Family."

Zhongli Qingmeng shook her head.

"That's too difficult. Many factions have powerful Prodigies hidden away—those left over from the Medieval Era, the Ancient Era, and even the Primordial Era."

Chu Xinghe also knew this method was extremely difficult.

"Our Zhongli Family can help you," Zhongli Qingmeng said with a serious expression.

Chu Xinghe shook his head. "Pull one hair and the whole body moves. If the Zhongli Family interferes, many factions will likely unite to resist."

Zhongli Qingmeng didn't speak; the Zhongli Family had enemies too.

"I'll think about it some more."

Chu Xinghe looked at Zhongli Qingmeng's back and sighed.

This was the helplessness of being caught in the middle of a situation.

Before Chu Xinghe could return, his body was pulled into a spatial vortex.

"Master, if you want to see me, just call for me. Doing this makes me think you have improper intentions toward me."

Chu Xinghe spoke as he looked at his serene Master before him.

"In three days, the Tianyan Holy Land Secret Realm will open."

Chu Xinghe looked at Wen Rushui with expectant eyes and said, "Master, can you tell me what's inside the Secret Realm?"

"You need to explore it yourself."

Chu Xinghe's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

"Master, don't move."

Wen Rushui looked at Chu Xinghe calmly.

Chu Xinghe stood up and said, "Master, you have something on the corner of your mouth."

After saying that, Chu Xinghe's finger touched Wen Rushui's cheek.

It was smooth as porcelain and soft; it felt so good.

Chu Xinghe couldn't help but give it a little pinch.

Wen Rushui's eyes remained unchanged.

"Is it soft?"

Chu Xinghe nodded without hesitation.

"Do you want to kiss me?"

Chu Xinghe was stunned.

"Does Master agree?"

"You can try."

Chu Xinghe's throat bobbed as his head gradually drew closer.

*Thud.*

Chu Xinghe fell flat on the ground.

"Master, you didn't keep your word."
