154: Deputy Clan Chief Cao Bu

After a moment, only the Second Elder remained standing alone in the Council Hall.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

There were already ten votes in favor; even if he opposed, he couldn't change the outcome.

The Second Elder glared around the room, his gaze finally landing on Cao Bu. He could only huff coldly and sit down in indignation, reluctantly raising his hand.

Seeing this, Leng Yue's expression remained cold as she spoke calmly, "In that case, the motion is passed unanimously."

"From now on, Cao Bu is the Vice Clan Leader of my Gu Clan. If anyone dares to disobey him in the future, they will be making an enemy of me, Leng Yue."

As she spoke, she specifically glanced at the Second Elder, her warning clearly evident.

The Second Elder said nothing, but his face had turned extremely ugly.

[Ding! The Host has successfully become the Gu Clan Vice Clan Leader. Inheritance progress increased by 5%!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining five lottery chances!]

The corners of Cao Bu's lips curled up slightly as he stood up calmly and scanned the room, his gaze finally fixing on the Second Elder.

Meeting that gaze, the Second Elder felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine.

Cao Bu smiled slightly, his voice clear and powerful: "Rest assured, everyone. I, Cao Bu, will not fail your trust. I will certainly lead the Gu Clan to thrive in the future."

"Meeting adjourned."

With that, he turned and left with steady steps, showing no hesitation.

The several Elders watched Cao Bu's receding back, failing to react for a moment.

It wasn't until Cao Bu's figure disappeared outside the hall that they suddenly snapped out of it.

This Cao Bu seemed to be somewhat dismissive of the position of Vice Clan Leader.

Outside the hall, Cao Bu's mind stirred: "System, use the five lottery chances."

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Origin—Cloud Neon Divine Physique!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Cultivation Technique—Nine Heavens Cloud Neon Formula!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Origin—Mysterious Yellow Creation Body!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Origin—Nine Nether Moon Soul Physique!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Cultivation Technique—Nine Abyss Silent Annihilation Canon!]

Time passed like a fleeting white pony, and in the blink of an eye, night arrived.

Inside the Moyue Residence.

Cao Bu handed the Nine Nether Moon Soul Physique Origin, the Nine Abyss Silent Annihilation Canon, and the supreme dao emperor weapon profound moon reflecting heart mirror to Leng Yue.

"Here, find some time to refine these as soon as possible. They will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

Leng Yue took them, her pupils shrinking. She looked up at Cao Bu in shock, her voice trembling slightly: "W-where did you get these things? These are a supreme dao emperor weapon and top-tier Origins!"

Cao Bu smiled and spoke casually, "They're just Opportunities I came across by chance. Don't worry about it."

"No! This is too precious; I can't take it." Leng Yue hurriedly tried to hand the items back, her eyes full of determination.

Cao Bu pressed her hand down. "Rest assured, I have my own. These were specifically prepared for you."

"Specifically prepared for me?" Leng Yue's voice rose several notches. She looked at Cao Bu in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly. "This is a supreme dao emperor weapon. How could you..."

Cao Bu raised his hand and rubbed her head, his tone laced with tenderness. "Don't make a fuss. The things Gu Qingtian was unwilling to give you, I, Cao Bu, can give, and am willing to give."

Leng Yue was instantly moved, her eyes reddening. She threw herself into Cao Bu's arms, her voice slightly choked up: "Bu'er, you're so good to me. Quick, lie down. This time, it's my turn to take care of you."

An hour later, Cao Bu left the Moyue Residence and walked straight toward the Lingxiao Courtyard.

"Cao Bu, you're finally here!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Yun Shang lunged at him, her legs tightly wrapping around his waist and her arms around his neck, her cheek pressed against his chest.

Cao Bu reached out to support her pert buttocks, not stopping his pace as he headed straight for the sleeping hall.

Arriving at the bed, he saw Gu Feng still lying on the couch and was about to kick him further inside.

Suddenly, he sensed a trace of an unusual aura lingering in the air.

He immediately activated the System's investigation function.

A moment later, everything became clear to him.

He had been wondering how to trigger the Nirvana of Gu Feng's emperor bone; he hadn't expected that he wouldn't need to worry at all, as someone had already done him a huge favor.

As for that wisp of the Immortal King's remnant soul, it was nothing more than a buffoon.

He would just let First Smoke swallow it when the time came; it would likely be quite beneficial to her Divine Soul.

"Let's go next door."

Cao Bu said, supporting Yun Shang's buttocks as he turned to leave.

Yun Shang was somewhat confused and looked back at Gu Feng.

"Didn't you used to love bullying me in front of him? Why aren't you doing it now?"

"One gets tired of anything. Tonight, we'll play something different."

"What's different?" Yun Shang was a bit excited.

Cao Bu smiled, "You'll find out in a bit."

After they were finished, Cao Bu handed the Nine Heavens Cloud Neon Formula and the Cloud Neon Divine Physique Origin to Yun Shang. Seeing her pleasantly surprised expression, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Afterward, he got up and headed to the Cangfeng Residence.

Gu Chuyan had already moved here to live with him and had recently been in seclusion to comprehend the Law of Devouring.

From her aura during their last meeting, she seemed to have made some progress with the Law of Devouring.

After giving the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Body Origin to Gu Chuyan, Cao Bu spent some intimate time with her before heading to the Time Wheel Emperor Palace to find Fang Ruodan.

"What a rare guest. I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime." Seeing Cao Bu enter, Fang Ruodan put down the scroll in her hand, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Cao Bu strode over and grabbed her slender waist, his tone playful: "Didn't I miss you? I rushed over without stopping."

Fang Ruodan struggled and pushed against his chest, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Not here. Qianqian is still over there; it'll disturb her."

Cao Bu looked where she was pointing and saw Fang Qianqian on a nearby couch, her large, round eyes watching them, her small face full of curiosity.

A wicked smile curled on his lips. "Right here. It's non-negotiable."

With that, ignoring Fang Ruodan's resistance, he forcefully pressed her down.

Although decades had passed inside the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, Fang Qianqian was still in the form of an infant.

Clearly, the Law of Time within this Emperor Palace only simply altered the flow of time and could not change the growth cycle of living beings.

Fang Qianqian lay on the couch, tilting her head to watch the scene not far away. The curiosity on her small face was instantly replaced by a flash of anger and killing intent, her tiny fists clenched tightly.

This damned Lower Realm Mortal actually dared to bully her mother of this lifetime like this. It was simply outrageous and unforgivable!

Three hours later, Fang Ruodan leaned against Cao Bu's chest, exhausted, her eyes filled with shock.

This man's stamina was strong to an inconceivable degree.

"This is for you."

Cao Bu took out the Mysterious Yellow Creation Body Origin and held it out to her.

Before Fang Ruodan could react, Fang Qianqian on the couch shuddered, her small eyes staring intently at that clump of Origin.

Wait!

Why is this aura so familiar?

In the next second, Fang Qianqian's pupils shrank.

"Th-this is actually the Mysterious Yellow Creation Body Origin! How is that possible? How could a Lower Realm Mortal possess such a terrifying treasure?"

"No! This thing is mine! It's mine!"

Fang Qianqian howled frantically in her heart, but she could only watch helplessly as Fang Ruodan took the Origin and began the Fusion.

Just then, she noticed a shadow looming over her.

Looking up, she saw that at some unknown point, Cao Bu had come before her and was staring at her with a beaming smile.

With just one look, Fang Qianqian was so frightened that she squeezed her eyes shut, her small face flushing bright red as she wailed incessantly in her heart: "Abominable Lower Realm Mortal, actually not wearing any clothes, simply scandalous."

The corner of Cao Bu's mouth curled slightly as he leaned over and took Fang Qianqian into his arms.

"Come, Qianqian, your godfather will take you outside to see the world."
