Chapter 1347: White Deer King's Illusion

How about this: I'll teach you a few tricks that will surely let you handle Chen Chuyang? Elder Xinran whispered into Tianzhen Zhenren's ear, passing along some little tactics—nothing more than her own experience.

These are all things Chen Chuyang likes; she can't be that forward herself, but there's someone right here she can test it on—perfect for doing what she can't. With this example, she'll try it herself later.

Thinking of this, Elder Xinran felt both delighted and eager, wishing Chen Chuyang would come at once so Tianzhen Zhenren could try the tactics for her and gauge his reaction.

After a few words, Tianzhen Zhenren's face flushed, two blushes spreading across her cheeks, and her gaze turned odd.

No, Daoist Xinran, those methods won't work, and I could never do such a thing. Tianzhen Zhenren immediately refused, saying she's not a shameless woman and could never go that far.

This isn't what she had in mind; she's a traditional woman, and such behavior is too brazen for her.

Daoist Tianzhen, I'm doing this for your benefit, so you can quickly win over Chen Chuyang—it's the fastest way. Chen Chuyang doesn't like women who are coy; he prefers those who take the initiative.

Don't be shy—follow your heart's desire and act on it fully, so you won't regret it.

Tianzhen Zhenren hesitated, saying, "But my disciple is his woman."

What's there to fear? Elder Xinran kept urging: "My disciple is actually his sister—so what?"

We can't give up our own happiness for them, can we? Daoist Tianzhen, you must realize that for us women, finding a patron is difficult, and finding one we truly like is even harder. Since you're interested in Chen Chuyang, you need to be more proactive and direct.

At a moment like this, you can't be shy or afraid— the longer you wait, the less likely anything will happen between you.

You're still too shy in this regard— you don't measure up to me.

Tianzhen Zhenren lifted her head and asked, "Daoist Xinran, how did you do it?"

Elder Xinran said proudly, "I've done everything I just told you."

Arrogant and smug.

She gave Tianzhen Zhenren a disdainful look, saying, "You, my junior, are inferior to me— from now on you must call me elder sister."

Tianzhen Zhenren's eyes widened: "You really did that?"

Otherwise, what do you think I did to get him? Elder Xinran said arrogantly: "I used my methods to completely control Chen Chuyang."

Not far off, the black goat heard this and nearly burst out laughing.

It knows Elder Xinran's actions well; it's timid and shy about many things, so it has Tianzhen Zhenren test the waters for things it dares not do— truly sly and deceitful.

However, the black goat can't speak, but it also wants to watch the spectacle.

Tianzhen Zhenren knows the black goat well; it understands her personality. When she lived on Longshan Mountain, she often had Shang Hongren do these things— now the wheel has turned and it's her turn.

She's caught up in the situation without even realizing it.

These two women together... they simply can't stay out of trouble.

The black goat muttered, "That brat Chen Chuyang is going to have a good time."

Tianzhen Zhenren seriously doubts Elder Xinran's words— she couldn't possibly be that bold.

She couldn't possibly do those things.

Even her disciple Shang Hongren, who bore a child for Chen Chuyang, couldn't go that far.

Few people can reach that point; of course, Tianzhen Zhenren doesn't know about their bedroom activities, so she dares not speculate.

Daoist Xinran, you're not trying to fool me, are you? Tianzhen Zhenren stared straight at Elder Xinran.

Elder Xinran's eyes narrowed, and she immediately became firm.

No, why would I? Daoist Tianzhen, I'm asking this for your own good; once we succeed, you'll be my dear sister, and we'll be one family— why would I deceive you?

I also want another helper, another sister; you've seen how vast Longshan Mountain is— relying on me alone, I can't manage it all.

If more people come to Longshan Mountain later, my pressure will only increase.

Besides, you'll also have an extra helper; otherwise, how will you face Hongren and Hongxue later?

These words hit Tianzhen Zhenren where it hurts; her greatest worry is her disciple Shang Hongren.

As for Shang Hongxue, she isn't particularly worried; even if Shang Hongxue finds out later, she won't make things difficult for her.

Only her own disciple— if she does this, how will she face her later?

I can't do this; if Hongren finds out, I…… Tianzhen Zhenren gritted her teeth, unable to face her precious disciple.

Elder Xinran continued to coax: "Daoist Tianzhen, you needn't worry; your disciple wants to go to the outer realm, but it won't happen quickly— at least several years will pass. By the time she arrives at Longshan Mountain, we'll already be out training."

By then, if we go out training together, won't we avoid meeting her?

As long as you don't meet, there will be no problem.

Elder Xinran had thought it through: in a few decades or even a century, Shang Hongren might possibly arrive here; by then, their strength will have advanced by leaps and bounds, and even while training abroad they'll be able to protect themselves. Moreover, she knows a secret: any woman who stays with Chen Chuyang will have her strength increased.

The increase isn't just a little— it's extraordinarily excessive.

If those two become a couple, how could their cultivation not advance by leaps and bounds?

But I'm still worried; we'll eventually have to meet. Tianzhen Zhenren couldn't make up her mind.

She's still torn.

That's a matter for the far future; you don't need to worry now— take care of yourself first, okay? Tianzhen Zhenren is truly helpless; this woman is too torn, both fearful and anxious.

Being afraid of this, worried about that— this mindset just won't do.

She must be persuaded well; she can't be allowed to retreat.

Three days later.

In a certain place in the outer realm, the White Deer King watched the people beside him dwindle until only a few remained; the others had all died.

The outer realm is too dangerous; along this road, it's nothing but slaughter, with strong enemies everywhere.

Once they adapt to this place, they encounter not only human hunts but also demonic beasts and all sorts of outrageous things; the outer realm is full of danger, especially in those deep mountains and old forests, which are the most perilous.

Day and night differ; the area they're in is extremely terrifying.

Just now, the White Deer King felt a hint of guidance.

He looked toward a direction; that kind of calling, that feeling, was like finding destiny's guidance.

Fellow Daoists, I want to go that way— will you follow me, your king?

The direction the White Deer King pointed to is exactly the way they've come; the dangers along this road have left them silent.
