Chapter 1641: True Revered Master Esteems the Dao, Bai Meng Holy Maiden (Continued)

Qinglong Daoren has his own considerations; it's not that, just because he gets hot-headed, he looks for women for his main body; actually, this is also a delaying tactic.

Of course, there is also part of the plan; after all, these women are quite good, more suitable for the main body; if they can be won over, it would greatly help their situation; even just winning over one could change their situation and make them much safer.

Among them, Qinglong Daoren thinks most highly of Diewumeng, the newly appointed Mangshan Demon Emperor, a newly promoted Tribulation Realm demon emperor; if he can really win her over, their safety could be greatly reduced, and they would no longer need to worry about the threat from the Mangshan Demon Palace.

Even more, he could gain Diewumeng's full support, with the Mangshan Mountain Range wholeheartedly cultivating themselves and that world; their world would find it hard not to rise, the resources of the Mangshan Mountain Range are so abundant that many demon beasts don't know how to use them, spiritual herbs are everywhere outside, most of which they don't even look upon, and Qinglong Daoren naturally wants them all—even a mosquito, small as it is, is still meat.

Resources can be cultivated, can be planted; those spiritual herbs can all be planted; how vast the Mangshan Mountain Range is, very suitable for planting spiritual herbs; even without needing to tend them, those spiritual herbs can grow very well, the heavenly and earthly spiritual qi is abundant, especially those spiritual herbs on the spirit veins, they need not worry about lacking spiritual qi, which leads to a problem: these spiritual herbs have abundant spiritual qi and can continually break through their own limits.

As the years increase, the medicinal potency of these spiritual herbs increases greatly, and moreover, it increases at a terrifying speed; as potency increases, the grade increases as well—even a single blade of grass, after growing for a thousand years and absorbing heavenly and earthly spiritual qi for a thousand years, can become one of the heavenly treasures and earthly riches.

Those familiar with spiritual herbs all know that outside there are only spiritual herbs, no so-called weeds; it's just that you don't recognize their value.

"The Mangshan Mountain Range is vast and also dangerous, with countless demon beasts, and these demon beasts are mortal enemies of us humans; if they knew of our existence, do you think they would let us live so easily?"

"The reason we can remain here undisturbed by others and demon beasts is that we still have value; it's because they are all entangled by other forces, unable to divert attention to deal with us, or rather, they need us, they need our pills; once we are of no use..."

"Or perhaps our pills have been replaced, and they have found other pill refiners to supply them; do you think we could still be as we are now?"

Xinran Zhanglao understands this; she cannot refute it, although she feels uneasy inside, but she knows that Qinglong Daoren's consideration is correct.

"What you say is fine, I can understand it too; just, can we avoid provoking too many women? We only need to win over Diewumeng; there's no need for Wu Mie Zhenren and Bai Xinlan, right?"

Tianlian Zhenren nodded sharply: "Exactly, those few are indeed good, but you can't possibly want all of them, can you?"

She can understand this reason.

But you must not be too greedy.

Qinglong Daoren shook his head: "I naturally need to make thorough preparations in what I do; it's impossible to place all our hopes on a single person; if Diewumeng cannot be won over, we still have a retreat, we can also win over Bai Xinlan and her disciples, and the Luotian White Snake Clan can still protect us."

"If it really comes to that, we can still have a retreat; Tian Du Men is also a good retreat, Wu Mie Zhenren and Bai Hang Holy Maiden are also excellent choices; multiple options, more retreats, that way we can guarantee our safety."

"You don't know how great my pressure is; for our safety, for our world, how much have I sacrificed?"

"Ah, you still doubt my intentions; it's too heartbreaking."

Qinglong Daoren feigned a sorrowful expression, his peripheral vision sweeping over the two; Xinran Zhanglao and Tianlian Zhenren's bodies trembled, the two women exchanged a glance, and both fell silent.

Xinran Zhanglao gave Tianlian Zhenren a look: "Could it be that we have really misunderstood him?"

Tianlian Zhenren: "Possibly, I always feel something is off."

But where exactly it's off, she can't say; she always feels Qinglong Daoren is deceiving himself, his purpose in doing this is not this, but for the main body.

However, they couldn't find any evidence, so they could only apologize.

"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have doubted you." Xinran Zhanglao apologized first.

Tianlian Zhenren apologized: "Sorry, we were wrong; this time we two were petty."

Qinglong Daoren nodded satisfactorily: "It's not your fault; anyone would think that; I only hope you won't do this again in the future, understand?"

"Good." The two women replied in unison.

Qinglong Daoren had the look of one who is teachable, and he was very satisfied with their attitude.

"Knowing one's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue; if you have any ideas in the future, you can tell me directly, no need to guess my intentions here; I hope you don't indulge in wild speculation, we are one family, we should be frank with each other."

"Yes."

"This time it's our two's problem."

The two women readily admitted their fault; upon this, Qinglong Daoren felt a sigh of relief in his heart, continually saying that the two had nothing to do with each other and such, making them feel even more guilty; after persuading the two women to leave, Qinglong Daoren exhaled a turbid breath.

"Hoo hoo hoo, finally they're gone; this time I was scared to death, my plan almost got exposed."

"Main body, for you I've taken enormous risks; you ought to thank me."

Elsewhere.

Deep within the Luotian White Snake Clan's territory.

Bai Meng Holy Maiden immediately had an audience with her master, asking what she had said to Qinglong Daoren at that time and whether she had truly refused his proposal.

Bai Xinlan, upon hearing this, shot up to a sitting position, her eyes fixed tightly on Bai Meng Holy Maiden, and loudly said: "He told you all of that?"

Her voice carried disbelief and also a hint of shock; that person actually dared to tell Bai Meng such things.

He is utterly immoral; is this something that ought to be told to her?

How will Bai Meng view her master in the future? That bastard, his thief's heart never dies.

"Master, Qinglong Daoren's friends have all told me—does he intend to marry you?"

Bai Xinlan's face instantly turned cold, demonic aura erupting all around, filling the entire palace interior; Bai Meng Holy Maiden felt no fear, she inwardly confirmed it—this matter seems true, the master really… has been taken a liking to, Qinglong Daoren indeed has taken a liking to the master, while the master seems to have refused.

"Why did you refuse him? Weren't you saying you wanted to ally by marriage with Longshe Shan? Whether it's you, Master, or me, your disciple, either would do."

"Qinglong Daoren is a talent; many have their eyes on him; for the sake of the Luotian White Snake Clan, I think it's fine for you, Master, to pay some price."

Bai Meng Holy Maiden thought exactly that; it doesn't matter which of her masters marries Qinglong Daoren—the goal is to bind him, to tightly unite him with the Luotian White Snake Clan, gradually turning him into a member of the Luotian White Snake Clan.
