Chapter 780: Zhu Yingtai

Great Luo Heaven.

Inside the Qiankun Cauldron, a purple gourd took shape; within it, a rune rose and radiated boundless divine might, then finally receded.

Zhang Taixuan lightly beckoned, and the gourd flew into his hand.

From inside to outside, whether the runes or the form, it was all forged by him, and thus felt especially close to him.

Just after its forging, it already stirred a sentient will, emitting a warm, affectionate aura.

Zhang Taixuan unleashed magic power, and after only a brief ritual, the treasure gourd was already fully subjugated to his will.

"The Dao of the Gourd is formed from seven primordial spiritual lights; you shall be called the Seven Treasures Gourd." Zhang Taixuan gently stroked the purple gourd, sensing its joy, shrank it, and hung it at his waist.

"Zhu Yingtai has arrived. I've heard of her for long—let's go meet her!"

With a wave of his hand, he cleared the quiet chamber; with a thought, he stood before the portal of passage.

The next moment, the portal opened, and a woman dressed in solemn finery stepped forward.

"Who are you?" Zhu Yingtai saw Zhang Taixuan. "Could you be Lord Daojun?"

"Indeed." Zhang Taixuan nodded. "Miss Zhu has many questions—why not walk with me through Great Luo Heaven? We can speak as we go."

"Then I am in your debt, Lord Daojun." Zhu Yingtai bowed gracefully, her expression gentle.

Half a day passed.

Zhu Yingtai finally understood the chat group, and also understood the Taixuan Realm.

"So does that mean Lord Daojun cannot interfere in my world?" Zhu Yingtai felt a pang of disappointment.

Zhang Taixuan smiled. "Not that it's impossible—only unnecessary. If you wish Ma Wencai to treat the Zhu family and the common people well, I need only say the word. I believe he will grant me that favor."

"Thank you, Lord Daojun!" Zhu Yingtai's heart swelled with joy, as if she had fulfilled her mission.

Zhang Taixuan clapped his hands and summoned two fairy maidens.

"This is Miss Zhu. From now on, you will serve her."

Saying this, he turned and left.

Zhu Yingtai was startled, and asked softly, "Will Lord Daojun not take me as his concubine?"

"That depends on Miss Zhu's own will," the fairy maidens whispered. "Lord Daojun is no ordinary man—he will never force himself upon you if you are unwilling."

"Indeed! Our lord has many Ladies, yet none of them dislikes him!"

"Miss Zhu may reside here in Great Luo Heaven as long as you wish. Time will reveal the truth of his character."
