Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 146 - 146 145 Really Vicious_1

146: Chapter 145 Really Vicious_1 146: Chapter 145 Really Vicious_1 By the time Lu Chuan returned to the Tang Residence, the sky had already darkened.

Lu Chuan found a secluded courtyard and said to Wu Daolong, “I’m going to make my breakthrough here.

You help me guard the law and don’t let anyone disturb me.”

Wu Daolong nodded and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, no one will disturb you.”

Lu Chuan thought about it and still felt a bit uneasy, then shouted, “Xiaoqing!”

Xiaoqing immediately appeared before him.

Compared to before, Xiaoqing seemed to have become more solid, and her cheeks were more lively, as if she had become more flavorful than before.

She looked at Lu Chuan shyly and called out, “Big Brother Lu Chuan.”

Lu Chuan was a bit surprised and asked, “Xiaoqing, why do I feel that you’re different from before?”

Xiaoqing immediately looked guilty and said, “No…

no, Big Brother Lu Chuan, you must have felt it wrong.

Xiaoqing has always been like this.”

Lu Chuan thought he might really be mistaken and didn’t think much of it, saying, “You and True Being Wu help me guard the law together.

Don’t let anyone disturb me.”

Xiaoqing nodded seriously, “Mhm!”

Lu Chuan didn’t say anything more and turned to enter the courtyard.

Wu Daolong and Xiaoqing also spread out, guarding outside the courtyard to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

Lu Chuan came to the center of the courtyard, sat down cross-legged, and took out the seed that Na Lanxuan had given him.

He buried the seed in the soil, and almost instantly, a peculiar plant broke through the ground.

This plant emitted a strange power, and soon enveloped the entire courtyard within it.

Lu Chuan could clearly feel a change in the surrounding feng shui, and the spiritual energy within the courtyard became dozens of times denser than elsewhere in a short amount of time.

Seeing this change, he couldn’t help but admire Na Lanxuan’s prowess and even suspected that Na Lanxuan’s cultivation level had reached profound heights.

“With this, the likelihood of my successful breakthrough has greatly increased; perhaps even the fortunes of the Tang family will change because of this.”

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan took out a Foundation Building Pill, swallowed it, and started to stimulate the Catalysis Essence inside his Dantian, allowing it to continuously release power and flow into his limbs and bones.

The Foundation Building Pill also began to take effect, and Lu Chuan officially started his breakthrough.

Outside the courtyard.

Xiaoqing and Wu Daolong, a ghost and a human, were closely watching the surroundings.

They both noticed that the courtyard where Lu Chuan was situated had undergone unusual changes.

Just now, a peculiar force had emerged, giving them a feeling as if they were basking in the spring breeze.

Wu Daolong guessed that Lu Chuan must have received something from the dean of Azure Dragon Academy; otherwise, he wouldn’t have returned to the Tang Residence to make his breakthrough.

After a while, Xiaoqing got bored and floated over to Wu Daolong, asking, “True Being Wu, you’re well-informed.

I want to ask, are humans and ghosts truly different paths?

Isn’t there any example of humans and ghosts being together?”

Wu Daolong started to laugh and said, “There are not a few cases of humans and ghosts being together; it’s just that they all didn’t end well in the end.

Fundamentally, humans and ghosts are different.

That is the natural order, unchangeable.”

Xiaoqing’s face immediately filled with disappointment.

Wu Daolong stared at her and asked with a smile, “Why?

Have you fallen for Lu Chuan?”

Xiaoqing’s face turned red, but she nodded.

Wu Daolong laughed heartily and said, “Don’t be discouraged.

If you go and reincarnate now, when you grow up, Lu Chuan will only be in his forties.

You two still have a chance to be together.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing’s face also showed a hint of anticipation, saying, “That’s actually what I’m thinking too.”

Seeing this, Wu Daolong said, “However, this is just a beautiful wishful thinking.

After you’re reincarnated, you’ll certainly not retain memories of your past life.

By that time, Lu Chuan will just be a stranger to you.

Even if you meet, you won’t remember each other, and who knows, you might even become enemies.”

Xiaoqing, upon hearing this, didn’t show any discouragement but instead revealed a smirk, saying, “I know that, but it’s not a big problem.”

Wu Daolong looked puzzled, thinking to himself whether she had a way to retain her past life’s memories when reincarnating.

He didn’t ask more and continued to be alert to their surroundings.

At 9 o’clock in the evening.

Tang Yurou ran up to Wu Daolong with a panicked face and anxiously said, “Where’s Lu Chuan?

That Heavenly Master backing the Sun family has come knocking, threatening to kill Lu Chuan.

Tell him to run quickly!”

Wu Daolong’s brow furrowed and said, “Lu Chuan is in the midst of a breakthrough, he cannot be disturbed midway.”

Several figures then crashed nearby, wailing in agony.

Immediately after, a man dressed in a Taoist robe appeared before them.

The newcomer was none other than Zhang Baizhou!

“Where is that thief Lu Chuan?

Make him come out to me!”

Tang Shouli, followed by the Tang family members, caught up, looking panic-stricken as he said, “Master Zhang, I have already agreed not to hold the Sun family accountable.

Why are you still insisting on troubling Lu Chuan?

Let’s just forget about this whole affair, shall we?”

Zhang Baizhou let out a cold snort and said, “Your Tang family is nothing more than ants in my eyes.

Whether or not you hold the Sun family accountable is irrelevant to me.

Lu Chuan broke my formation and caused damage to my true essence; I must kill him to let him know that a Heavenly Master must not be insulted!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he waved his hand, summoning arcs of electricity that thundered towards the Tang family members, exploding into a large pit right before them.

“If any of you Tang family members meddle further, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

The Tang family members were all terrified into trembling, not daring to take another step forward.

Even Tang Shouli’s face was ashen, and he dared not say another word.

The Heavenly Master’s might was truly terrifying, not something these ordinary people could afford to provoke.

Wu Daolong watched Zhang Baizhou exert his powers and squinted his eyes, muttering to himself, “Master Zhang’s thunder technique has reached such a level, it is truly frightening.”

He glanced at Tang Yurou and said, “Go back to your father’s side, leave this place to me to handle.”

Tang Yurou quickly nodded and ran behind Tang Shouli.

Zhang Baizhou looked at Wu Daolong, his face revealing a disdainful smile, and said, “I thought it was someone of significance, but it’s just you.

You’re merely at the True Being Rank, nothing more than a slightly stronger ant in my eyes.

If you don’t want to die, get out of my way at once!”

Wu Daolong took a deep breath and said, “I promised Lu Chuan that I would help him protect this place.

Since I’ve said it, I must do it.

Whether you are a Heavenly Master or not, I won’t let you enter this door today!”

Zhang Baizhou sneered and said, “Do you think you can stop me with your abilities?”

Wu Daolong took out his Peach Wood Sword and assumed a combative stance, saying, “Whether I can stop you or not, I have to try!”

Xiaoqing floated down, standing by Wu Daolong’s side, she glared at Zhang Baizhou furiously, saying, “You scoundrel, as long as I’m here, you won’t be able to bother Lu Chuan.

Today, I’ll seek my revenge on you!”

Zhang Baizhou was somewhat surprised and asked, “Are you that female university student?”

Xiaoqing snorted coldly, “That’s right!”

Zhang Baizhou’s face revealed an evil smile, saying, “It seems that Lu Chuan really has some abilities, to have purged the evil aura from you and made you into such a beautiful ghost girl, something not even I could do.”

“I’ll give you a chance right now, become my ghost servant.

Let me, too, experience the taste of a female ghost.

I will spare you from the torment of your soul scattering.

How about it?”

Xiaoqing’s face seethed with anger as she shouted, “Keep dreaming!

I will kill you!”

Having said this, Xiaoqing charged at Zhang Baizhou, unleashing all her power, aiming to kill the evil man who had sealed her in the Nine Cycles Yin Fiend Array Formation.

Zhang Baizhou’s expression turned cold, then he quickly used his thunder technique to block Xiaoqing’s attack, and a bolt of lightning struck her, sending her flying more than ten meters away.

Seeing this, Wu Daolong didn’t dare hesitate any longer; he gripped his Peach Wood Sword and pulled out a piece of yellow talisman paper, attacking Zhang Baizhou.

He shouted, and a piece of yellow talisman paper instantly ignited, turning into a fireball that smashed towards Zhang Baizhou.

Zhang Baizhou immediately dodged, then used his technique to completely neutralize the fireball.

“Your level of cultivation can’t compare to mine!”

Zhang Baizhou shouted, once again employing the thunder technique, striking Wu Daolong.

Boom.

An explosion erupted in front of Wu Daolong, and he barely managed to stabilize himself, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

He and Xiaoqing exchanged glances, neither showing any intention of backing down, and charged at Zhang Baizhou once again.

The two, one human and one ghost, fought so fiercely that the courtyard was filled with flashes of lightning, bursts of flame, and gusts of cold wind.

Though Zhang Baizhou was a Heavenly Master, he found it challenging to claim a quick victory against the combined assault of Wu Daolong and Xiaoqing.

After all, he still needed to conserve his strength to deal with Lu Chuan.

Wu Daolong and Xiaoqing coordinated, searching for any weakness in Zhang Baizhou’s defenses.

But given that the opponent was a Heavenly Master, the gap in their realms left them without a sliver of hope for victory.

Before long, Zhang Baizhou seized an opportunity to hit Wu Daolong with another thunder technique.

This time, Wu Daolong was knocked to the ground, bloodied and battered, his Peach Wood Sword broken in two, completely losing his ability to fight.

Zhang Baizhou then used a technique to capture Xiaoqing.

He gripped Xiaoqing’s neck, his face contorted with a hideous smile, and said, “I’ll give you another chance.

Become my ghost servant, or I’ll ensure your soul never finds peace!”

Xiaoqing gritted her teeth, struggling fiercely with a look of determination, “In your dreams!”

Zhang Baizhou narrowed his eyes, electricity arcing in his hand, which instantly coursed through Xiaoqing’s entire body.

Lightning was extremely oppressive to ghosts and spirits, and Xiaoqing was immediately enveloped in electric arcs, screaming out in torment.

Her face twisted in agony, her form starting to wane, if this continued, she might truly scatter, losing even the chance for reincarnation.

“Are you sure you won’t serve as my ghost servant?

I could let you exist in this world indefinitely, even teach you the ways of Ghost Cultivation.

As long as you serve me well, you could reap endless benefits.

But if you refuse, I can make your soul scatter right now!” Zhang Baizhou threatened.

Xiaoqing’s expression of pain had begun to contort, but she remained resolutely firm, “Even if my soul scatters, I refuse to serve a beast like you.

I would rather never transcend!”

Zhang Baizhou snorted, the electricity in his palm growing stronger, “Fool!”

“If that’s the case, you’ll taste the suffering of eternal damnation!”

No sooner had he spoken than he was about to unleash his thunder technique to completely shatter Xiaoqing’s soul.

However, just at that moment, an invisible force came out of nowhere and struck his chest, forcing him to release Xiaoqing.

Then everyone saw Lu Chuan walking out calmly from the gate of the back courtyard.

He appeared utterly ordinary, but everyone felt an intangible oppressive aura, as if the person in front of them was colossal, inherently compelling them to bow down in submission.

This was the authority that came with the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Lu Chuan embraced Xiaoqing, feeding a stream of power into her soul to stabilize her existence, ensuring she wouldn’t scatter.

He then turned his head to look at Zhang Baizhou and coldly said, “It wasn’t enough for you to use her to create an evil array formation; you want to scatter her soul as well.

How truly malicious!”
