Chapter 91: Unable to cut, still tangled — it's lovesickness
With a nervous heart, Lü Ya tiptoed out of the room.
She was like a sneaky little wildcat.
Especially when she saw Yun Zhi Yi sitting in quiet cultivation before the White Lotus, her heart pounded even more.
"The pretty Daoist priest and the young master have a deep relationship; they might already be a couple in private."
"If the Daoist priest knew I was fantasizing about doing that with the young master, she wouldn't beat me to death, would she?"
"No, no! I'm just thinking about it; I haven't actually done it, so I certainly don't deserve death."
Countless thoughts bubbled up like bubbles from Lü Ya's mind.
"Good morning, Lü Ya."
A gentle voice sounded beside her ear, startling Lü Ya into a shudder; she turned her head and saw the soul of Tu Shan Jiao Jiao drifting to and fro.
"Good morning, Young Madam."
Having stayed in the manor these days, Lü Ya had to put in great effort to sort out the relationships among the three 'ladies of the house'.
The one who is the best-looking and has the fiercest temper is Xiao Rumeng's mother, and also the only lady of the house who bore a child with the young master.
Qingyu Daoist and the young master still have an ambiguous relationship, with the weakest competitive edge.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Woman, who drifts about like a ghost all day, is the young master's only openly acknowledged wife, but she has no physical form and cannot consummate the marriage.
"Lü Ya, your complexion has been good these days, your face all rosy, as if love has nourished you," Tu Shan Jiao Jiao said in a soft, lingering tone.
"No… no."
Lü Ya felt guilty and dared not meet Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's gaze.
She felt that the Young Madam's eyes could pierce straight into her soul, seeing through all her thoughts completely.
If the Young Madam knew that in her dreams she was like that with the young master, she would surely come to her room in the middle of the night and strangle her to death!
Creak.
The door opened, and Lin Chuan also came out.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Chuan saw Tu Shan Jiao Jiao and Lü Ya engaged in 'friendly exchange', and he secretly thought it was not good; Jiaojiao Niangzi seemed to know a bit of mind-reading.
Lü Ya is merely a mortal, clumsy and dull; the little schemes in her heart would surely not escape Jiaojiao Niangzi's notice.
"Young… young master."
Seeing Lin Chuan, Lü Ya became even more embarrassed, her face flushing red.
Lin Chuan asked casually, "Lü Ya, how long did I sleep this time?"
"Well… it seems…"
Lost in the dream, Lü Ya's mind grew hazy; she could not even recall how long her young master had slept this time, remembering only the pleasant interaction in the dream.
"It's been forty-six days."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled with deep meaning, "It seems Lü Ya has been preoccupied lately, even forgetting the most important thing."
Lin Chuan felt a jolt in his heart.
"That tone!"
It seems Jiaojiao Niangzi has already guessed something.
"Cough cough."
The Lin family's small courtyard had already become a Shura battlefield; it looked calm on the surface, but in reality blood flowed like a river.
Lin Chuan gave a dry cough twice, "Lü Ya, if you're feeling unwell, go back to your room to rest; you don't need to worry about the courtyard affairs."
"Unwell?"
"That's actually very comfortable."
Lü Ya suppressed her truest feelings, lowered her brows and said, "Thank you, young master," then fled at once.
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao turned her gaze toward Lin Chuan, smiling ambiguously, "Husband, this girl's feelings for you seem rather unusual."
Lin Chuan, steeling himself, replied, "Lü Ya has grown up in the Lin manor since childhood; naturally she is different from other maidservants."
"Is that so?"
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao blinked, "Then husband, you'd better protect her well, otherwise the Demoness Sister's violent temper might have her slaughtered."
Lin Chuan: "???"
He was a bit unable to read Jiaojiao Niangzi's mindset.
"Is she angry?"
"Or is she not angry?"
"Why does Jiaojiao Niangzi get more excited the more people there are?"
The most pitiable is still Lü Ya; given her meager ability and humble mindset, she likely dares not compete with the other wives for the position of principal wife.
Perhaps even being a concubine could make Lü Ya secretly delighted for a long time.
"Unable to cut, still tangled — it's lovesickness."
Each time the dream reincarnates, it always manages to stir up something for him.
The duration of 【Heavenly Demon Chaos】 will only be longer than the previous few low-level dream reincarnations, and even the reincarnated form of his sister Lin Yangyang does not appear.
Perhaps even more outrageous things await him.
"Husband, you're sweating."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao smiled brightly, seeing through but not speaking, "How about I tell you something else, husband?"
"What matter?"
Lin Chuan let out a sigh of relief.
"The matter of the Cleansing World Blood Lotus."
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao's tone sank, "The situation's development is more serious than we imagined."
Before entering the dream reincarnation, Lin Chuan handed the Cleansing World Blood Lotus to Tu Shan Jiao Jiao for safekeeping, hoping to stabilize the situation.
It seems the situation is not progressing smoothly.
«Although the Great Yan Dynasty has been protected, the chaos outside Yan Chao keeps fermenting, growing bigger and bigger, and the two great dynasties of South Zhao and Great Qi are on the verge of collapse. »
«Without the protection of the Four Great Demon Kings, Yunmeng Ancient Forest has also fallen into complete chaos. »
«More importantly, it's not the chaos in Qingyun Prefecture, but the chaos in other provinces that has drawn the attention of the mighty ones above the Legendary Realm. »
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao recounted everything that had happened recently.
Lin Chuan pondered, «You mean the cultivators above the Legendary Realm will investigate this matter, and might even come after us? »
How many cultivators there are in the world.
Especially many sects within the Three Teachings take it upon themselves to protect all beings under heaven.
They uphold the idea that greater ability brings greater responsibility, not allowing the strong to wield the slaughter blade against the weak, nor allowing large-scale chaos to arise.
As the influence of the Cleansing World Blood Lotus grows, it will surely draw attacks from such sects.
Tu Shan Jiao Jiao said solemnly:
«Husband, although you have stopped the chaos of the Great Yan Dynasty, you are also the possessor of another Cleansing World Blood Lotus; the mighty ones investigating this matter will surely not let it rest. »
«Things have come to this; there's nothing we can do. »
Lin Chuan could only harden himself to face it.
In the 【Heavenly Demon Chaos】 dream reincarnation, he completed the Special Event Achievement and obtained a Dream Reincarnation Reflection Card—Light Earth Demon Card.
According to the realm divisions of the Blood-Painted Star Domain in the 【Heavenly Demon Chaos】 reincarnation, the Earth Demon Realm equals the Legendary Realm of the real-world Nine-Phase Realm.
This is his confidence.
Furthermore, the Demon Venerable Lady is present, and Yan Beicheng might also be there, so we won't be driven to a desperate situation.
Compared to the investigation by the mighty ones, Lin Chuan is more concerned about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Could the mastermind be the monkey that he had pressed under a mountain for five thousand years in the 【Fo Zi Jing Shi】 reincarnation?
If it really is a monkey……
Then, from another perspective, he himself is the true mastermind.
In the 【Fo Zi Jing Shi】 dream reincarnation, in order to break the Buddha Kingdom Prison World, his reincarnation incarnation gave rise to the Cleansing World Blood Lotus,
He used the desires of living beings to provoke slaughter, destroying the faith of all living beings in the Buddha, and thus caused a world-ending calamity.
……
Jinglian Province.
A White-Clad Scholar descended.
On the giant mountain where crimson lotuses bloom in full, the Giant Ape wielding a Golden Long Staff locked eyes with it.
