Do the words ‘Jade Pool’ not sound as pleasant as ‘Ningning’?”

The scent of orchid breathed as if it were by one’s ear.

“Sister, Jade Pool Sister!”

Li Ping’an said helplessly:

“In the past half-month, I have carefully considered and indeed I have been quite disrespectful toward you!

“But shouldn’t we get to know each other first, admire the scenery and flowers together, then travel around to enhance our feelings, before becoming so close?

“I came to Jade Pool, actually to prepare myself to gradually develop affection with you, Sister.

“Your abrupt actions now put me in a passive position, and I even started to feel a sense of resistance.”

“Why are you being so petty, Your Majesty.”

Jade Pool chuckled softly, casually calling over a precious seat from not far and sat down in front of Li Ping’an, crossing her legs, and just as casually released the restraints on Li Ping’an’s body.

Jade Pool spoke indifferently: “Locking you up for half a month was indeed satisfying enough for me.

Let’s do as you said then; what’s the first step we should take?”

Li Ping’an:…

The mighty Queen Mother, that’s the level of her revenge?

Not even using a feather to tickle someone day and night after removing their shoes and socks?

Li Ping’an’s Dao heart quickly calmed down.

Although there were many charming episodes here, he indeed came for serious matters.

He soon understood.

This big sister in front of him probably did not dare to truly offend him.

The Holy Mother went to become a Saint, and there was a feud between them.

If the Holy Mother returned later, her own aspiration to become the Heavenly Empress would face another obstacle, and Ningning’s backing would be stabilized.

Jade Pool (Zi Yao) had not been walking on thin ice over the past six years, but she had conscientiously done the many tasks Li Ping’an entrusted to her, and she had gained considerable prestige herself.

And more importantly;

Li Ping’an did not want to be completely controlled by the Six Saints in the future, especially not hindered by the Two Saints of the Western Religion; he must have a capable right-hand man…

He suddenly asked, “What exactly is the grievance between you and the Holy Mother?”

“It’s not anything significant, it’s just that Nüwa was too petty.”

Jade Pool’s delicate lips twitched slightly:

“That year, I tattled on her to our teacher, and she ended up being punished by the teacher to copy scripture for three hundred years, that’s all.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Is that all?”

“Afterwards, she deliberately made fun of me and trapped me in a secret realm of the Chaos Sea.

I was unable to return for hundreds of years, missing a lecture from our teacher, which resulted in my cultivation falling far behind hers.”

Li Ping’an: Hongjun’s little school is quite lively, huh.

Jade Pool continued, “Later, I took my revenge a few times, and she played her tricks a few times, and the enmity was forged just like that.”

Li Ping’an raised his hand and rubbed his nose, speaking slowly, “I don’t quite understand, but I maintain my respect, it’s good that you don’t have that kind of deep-rooted hatred.”

“How so,” Jade Pool said indifferently, “does the Heavenly Emperor want me to reconcile with her?”

“That is not going to happen,” Li Ping’an said earnestly, “My principle is to give up on helping to resolve personal issues and to respect the destinies of others.

I’m just afraid that you and the Holy Mother will really come to blows in the future.”

“We won’t come to blows.”

Jade Pool sighed:

“After all, there’s a bond of fellowship as we’re from the same sect, I just don’t wish to speak to her, that’s all.”

Li Ping’an smiled and asked: “Last time you got drunk, was it because of the Hongmeng Purple Qi?

At that time, I saw you went after it too.”

“Um,” Jade Pool’s expression turned a bit somber.

At this moment, the two were sitting face-to-face, with their knees only three feet apart, and neither could completely hide their expressions.

She said softly: “At that time, I was indeed extremely resentful toward the teacher, wondering why he had Hongmeng Purple Qi but never gave it to me, and the motivation he gave me to come to this world was that there was a chance for sanctification in Heavenly Court in the future, so I felt deceived by the teacher.

But I later realized that the teacher’s things are always the teacher’s, and if he didn’t give them to me, I shouldn’t harbor resentment.

Heavenly Court should indeed have a chance for sanctification.”

Li Ping’an suddenly realized: “So, Sister, your goal is to become a Saint?”

“Just call me Jade Pool,” she said softly, “I don’t want to be your sister.”

“Then I’ll stick to calling you Zi Yao,” Li Ping’an said, “I’m more accustomed to that…

I think I know how to discuss this now.”

Jade Pool blinked, a hint of a smile in her phoenix eyes, speaking softly, “If you can convince me today, I will certainly look to Your Majesty as my leader in the future.”

“First off, I am the provisional Heavenly Emperor; Heavenly Court hasn’t been fully established yet.”

Li Ping’an spoke slowly:

“You said before, it doesn’t matter who becomes the Heavenly Emperor, you just want to be the Heavenly Empress.

Although it’s true, such a statement naturally makes people uncomfortable when they hear it.”

Jade Pool sighed, “But I certainly can’t fool myself and say that Your Majesty is so handsome and valiant that a mere glance from you would make me fall…

I am not such a woman.”

“I don’t wish for the Dao companion to be such a woman either.”

Li Ping’an said:

“Before the return of the Six Saints, I want to build Heavenly Court on a sufficient scale so that I will face fewer constraints in the future.”

“What is your purpose then?”

Jade Pool asked softly:

“To dominate the world and stand above all beings?

“Or to achieve sanctification and become immortal, thereby resolving your fear of the word ‘death’?”

Li Ping’an shook his head and said, “I just want to protect those I can protect.

Now that I’ve reached this position, I’ll do something meaningful.

My father once told me when I was twelve years old that one should strive to achieve something in life, no matter the industry or job.”

Jade Pool nodded slowly: “No wonder I’ve never been able to detect your ambition; you are completely different from Xuanyuan Huangdi.

When he rose, he knew clearly what his goal was—to become the Human Emperor and resolve the crisis of the Human Race.”

Li Ping’an laughed and said:

“When I have realized the plan for Heavenly Court, and there are no longer strong enemies in the world, and my own power has reached the peak of my life, I’ll probably choose the next Heavenly Emperor or promote a new order…

“These are far off concerns, better left unmentioned for now.”
