Chapter 585: Chapter 107: Hee Huan is a beautiful woman_2

"Do you really need to speak about such matters?"

Chi Yu Zi impatiently interrupted. When it came to matters involving Chi Ling, she was like a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.

"The matter of the trigram is always deduced from trivialities. You have to give people some time."

Gu Wen reached out to stroke Chi Yu Zi’s head, both to soothe and to prevent her from going on a rampage.

Often, her petite and charming appearance was just a façade. From the reactions of others, Gu Wen could deduce just how violent Chi Yu Zi had been before.

Daoist Killer God.

These four words alone were enough to show the depth of Chi Yu Zi’s murderous intent.

Once comforted by Gu Wen, Chi Yu Zi’s furious emotions cooled significantly, and she sat down, becoming very silent again.

Tian Ji breathed a long sigh of relief inside, somewhat understanding what it means to accompany a monarch is like accompanying a tiger.

This Venerable was indeed revered. The Venerable had the power to grant life or death, and they were not required to answer to the True Martial Palace for killing.

He continued replying, "Chi Ling, within a hundred years, will inevitably return as one of the Four Imperial."

Having said that, Tian Ji ceased speaking further, silently observing Gu Wen’s expression.

Mourning inwardly for Chi Ling, whom they had never met.

The Four Imperial represents the four corners of the world, second only to the Three Pure Ones in rank. If the ancient texts are not wrong, the Four Imperial are not subordinates to the Three Pure Ones, but merely half a step lower.

But Gu Wen had a strong possibility of being the Jade Emperor. If the other side had a grudge against Chi Yu Zi, they would certainly not be left unscathed.

It could only be said as karma; a scheme set up years ago for immortality that unexpectedly bore bitter fruit.

"You may leave now, and report anything further through the True Martial Palace. I won’t be stingy with my rewards."

"To serve the Venerable is a subordinate’s honor."

Ghost Strategy immediately spoke flatteringly, and Tian Ji also appropriately expressed his loyalty.

However, having long adapted to a carefree lifestyle, his attitude was not overly fawning, just standing awkwardly in-between. Luckily, Gu Wen didn’t care much about such things, saying less didn’t bring annoyance.

The two of them respectfully bowed and then exited the courtyard.

Only Gu Wen and the remaining two people were left around, remaining silently for a long time.

Chi Yu Zi furrowed her eyebrows tightly, occasionally looking up to scrutinize the Jade Sword Buddha, whose face appeared somewhat unnatural, with more than a little concern in his eyes.

Chi Yu Zi asked, "If Chi Ling becomes one of the Four Imperial, can I still avenge?"

Gu Wen responded, "Why wouldn’t you?"

Chi Yu Zi mumbled in reply, "Isn’t the Heavenly Saint about to confer you as the Jade Emperor? If you haven’t fallen out yet, killing Chi Ling would be troublesome for you, wouldn’t it? It’s crucial to consider the bigger picture first and stabilize the Heavenly Saint, so we won’t be attacked from both sides."

Gu Wen regarded her with surprise, even the Jade Sword Buddha was the same.

In circumstances where one would least expect composure, Chi Yu Zi was surprisingly steady.

"What kind of look is that?"

Chi Yu Zi grunted displeased, explaining, "I’m not brainless, nor irrational enough to lose my mind for revenge. Compared to revenge, I’d rather preserve my friends and family; living is most important."

"You’ve grown up."

Gu Wen, somewhat comforted, patted Chi Yu Zi on the head, only to have her swat his hand away immediately.

Gu Wen’s attitude, compared to giving up on revenge, agitated her even more.

"I’m already nine hundred years old, technically decades older than you. Stop patting my head!"

"Little Yun Li is already a big child now."

"Don’t call me by my common name!"

Amidst playful banter, the atmosphere noticeably eased, leaving Chi Yu Zi turning away in frustration, ignoring Gu Wen.

Returning to the main topic, Gu Wen said, "It doesn’t matter what Dao Fruit the Heavenly Saint wishes to bestow upon Chi Ling. Even if it is the Three Pure Ones, I will kill her."

Chi Yu Zi worriedly asked, "You already provoked the Earth Saint; is it really fine to oppose the Heavenly Saint as well?"

"It’s fine, my relationship with the Heavenly Saint is frank, we’d get along well; a toast with courtesy should be enough."

Gu Wen replied cheerfully. Chi Yu Zi, somewhat agitated, hurriedly said, "I’m serious here, stop joking around with me. Will there really be no problems?"

"If problems arise and become significant, then we’ll just not seek revenge; staying alive matters more."

Eight hundred years of time, along with ceaseless battles, had long changed Chi Yu Zi’s mindset from what it once had been, realizing that living was above all else.

Especially now since Gu Wen was still alive, able to drink and eat meat, travel and enjoy scenery with her, such days naturally mattered more than revenge.

Taking revenge would indeed be good, but if it would ruin her current life, Chi Yu Zi would rather not.

"I’m serious too, during our conversation, I’ve also come to an agreement with the Heavenly Saint."

Gu Wen’s thoughts moved, and the world slowed down once again.

He said, "I want to kill Chi Ling."

[If you were the Jade Emperor, you would naturally have the right to decide life and death for all beings in this world.]

"What if I’m not?"

[Then it’s not possible.]

"How much stronger is your dog compared to the Earth Saint?"

————————————

Three days later.

Gu Wen packed his bags. Xiao Yunyi accompanied him for a hundred miles, before being taken into Qianfeng Tower. After being forced to drink three bottles of Heavenly Immortal Drunk, he could barely speak coherently.

Meanwhile, many dancing girls took a liking to Xiao Yunyi, eagerly attending to him. Several of them directly cozied up to him, whispering sweetly, "Husband, there’s a warm room next door. You can rest there for a while."

Such a scene was something Gu Wen and his companions had never witnessed before.

They had visited brothels many times, but never had women come up to them so willingly, even offering themselves.

Gu Wen took a sip of wine and laughed, "The most useful thing is not talent, but appearance. Looking good is the biggest advantage."

Chi Yu Zi asked, "Are you envious?"

"I used to be envious and also wanted to be born with a handsome appearance."

Gu Wen candidly replied.

"Look at me, I look quite decent, but compared to Brother Xiao, I’m like a stone in a latrine. I’ve never had a woman fall in love with me at first sight."

"Isn’t Yu Hua sister like that?"

"No, at first she thought I looked like a loach. But it’s different for me; from the beginning, I thought she was a Heavenly Immortal, definitely love at first sight."

"Why?"

"Because she looks beautiful."

Gu Wen answered seriously and sincerely, making Chi Yu Zi chuckle lightly and then proudly said, "It’s different for me; from the start, I thought you were pretty good."

"Is it because I treated you to drinks?"

"Uh..."

At this moment, the Thousand-Year Pure Yang Sword Master faced the enchanting dance girls’ flirtations without wavering, and even though the Heavenly Immortal Drunk disturbed his thoughts, he didn’t harbor any desires for the women of the dust.

This showed that Xiao Yunyi was truly a monk who had completely severed ties with the mortal world.

In the second half of the event, the dancing girls left, giving guests some private time.

Xiao Yunyi wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile, "I am the least adept at dealing with women; women are always too bothersome."

"Brother Xiao, these are the troubles of happiness."

Gu Wen raised his glass for a toast.

Xiao Yunyi reciprocated, taking a gulp of wine, and countered, "Brother Gu, it’s you. The attractiveness of appearance is only useful for shallow people; are the Heavenly Girl and Chi Yu Zi interested in your looks? Just being good-looking won’t win the favor of heavenly daughters."

"Like Yu Nan, that girl is very proud, countless suitors have come before and after, and none caught her eye."

"Xie is not an ordinary mortal girl, no need to discuss marriage, why are you worrying for nothing?"

Chi Yu Zi, having drunk half a jug of wine, was bolder than usual and clung to Gu Wen’s arm.

"If you ask me, these young people shouldn’t be talking about love; we didn’t have such conditions back in the day."

Xiao Yunyi shook his head, "Yu Nan naturally doesn’t need to discuss marriage, and the same applies to you and the Heavenly Girl; it’s only because of Brother Gu that you’re moved."

The blunt words made Chi Yu Zi’s face even redder, and she pretended to be tough, shouting, "What’s this about being moved? I don’t like Gu Wen, he’s always trying to tease me!"

Xiao Yunyi smiled but said nothing. He merely wasn’t interested in women, not that he didn’t understand them.

When it comes to the matter of love, he understood better than most people in the world.

He turned to Gu Wen and asked, "Where are you headed next, Brother Gu?"

"Yangyin State, Yin Yang Sect."

Gu Wen mentioned a place, Xiao Yunyi remembered it, contemplating a future visit.

"Is there someone you know over there?"

"Hee Huan, do you know her?"

"Yin Yang Heavenly Venerate, I’ve met her a few times, she’s an incredibly beautiful woman."
