Chapter 664

Jin Chan sighed, exchanged a glance with Sun Wukong, and felt all past burdens dissolve like smoke—his new life had begun.

Not far away, Xue Baochai heard Sun Wukong and Jin Chan's conversation, frowned, and understood nothing.

Freedom is important!

Respect is also important!

But are these two truly heavier than immortal elixirs and miraculous medicines?

Looking at Lin Daiyu, she saw a smile on her face, her eyes brimming with Zen and Daoic resonance: "Cultivation seeks truth, seeks the true self. One word—'I'—is greater than heaven. We cultivate to ultimately attain great freedom, great ease."

"Immortality, peerless divine powers—they are merely scenery along the path of cultivation seeking truth."

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai suddenly felt her heart clear.

Though she possessed a seven-hole clever heart, with keen insight into commerce and human relations, capable of sustaining a family in the cruel society of ancient times,

she was a complete outsider to cultivation.

Now, hearing Lin Daiyu's explanation, she finally understood.

Her previous understanding of cultivation had been too shallow.

"Excellent—great freedom, great ease!" Zhang Taixuan laughed heartily. "Lin Meimei truly was born with an immortal heart; though her cultivation still lags, her inner nature has already outpaced many."

He raised his cup.

"I toast Lin Meimei."

Lin Daiyu's delicate cheeks flushed slightly; she rose, raised her cup, drained it in one gulp, and a flicker of surprise passed through her eyes.

She revered the Dao Lord.

Now that the Dao Lord drank with her, it was as if her idol drank with her—how could her heart not surge?

While Lin Daiyu's spirits soared, Yao Yue's jealousy boiled over.

"You dress like a noble lady, yet you're a fox spirit luring men. Dao Lord, I went out of my way to wear this humiliating outfit—why didn't you even glance this way?"

Yao Yue gazed toward the stage, her eyes turning mournful.

"Could I, Yao Yue, really be outdone by these little foxes?"

Sigong Huiye's smile vanished.

"Damn it, Lin Meimei actually understands this? Why is she so good at drawing the Dao Lord's attention?"

Inside her heart, her inner self rolled around: "Sakura, Sakura, think of a solution quick!"

Thinking this, she glanced toward Sakurako Ai.

Sakurako Ai, knowing her mistress well, could only give her a helpless look.

Oh my god.

What could she possibly do? She doesn't even have the surname Dora!

"Sakurako, save me!" Sigong Huiye glared at her.

Sakurako Ai sighed: "My lady, only you can take the initiative—there's nothing I can do."

Upon hearing she must take the initiative, Sigong Huiye instantly shrank back.

"No way, Sakura—I'm scared!"

She didn't even have a single friend of the opposite sex.

Now, asking her to launch a direct assault on her beloved? It was far too difficult.

Sakurako Ai spread her hands: "I can't help anymore."

At that moment, Sigong Huiye heard a notification chime from the chat group.

"A new member joined?"

The others also heard the chat group chime and simultaneously opened the group to check the messages.
