Chapter 2208: Having Suffered for So Many Years

Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master...

Han Houshi looked grateful: "This is great, at least it saved me over a hundred years of bitter cultivation!"

He Pingsheng smiled: "No need for thanks, but you can save even more!"

"Here I not only have a fifth-grade Shakyamuni Divine Fruit, but also a fourth-grade Hun Tian Fruit!"

"However, the Hun Tian Fruit trees are in the He family's Divine Medicine Valley, and I've had people plant sword-path ones, which will mature in a hundred years. You can first eat the Hun Tian Fruit, then the Shakyamuni Divine Fruit—this way you'll at least rise three levels!"

The Hun Tian Fruit was originally prepared for disciples of the God Lord Realm.

The Shakyamuni Divine Fruit was prepared for disciples of the God Venerable Realm.

He Pingsheng always uses high things for low purposes.

Han Houshi had never eaten a Hun Tian Fruit before, so consuming one with sword-path attributes can also raise him a minor level.

"Good!" Han Houshi put away the divine fruit, looking curiously at He Pingsheng: "Young Master, you... how many divine apertures?"

As he said this, Zheng Hong Lu beside him also pricked up her ears.

He Pingsheng smiled, didn't answer directly, just said: "Rest assured, being my servant won't leave you at a loss—my number of divine apertures is not less than yours!"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Zheng Hong Lu started coughing again.

He Pingsheng waved his hand: "Hong Lu, stop coughing, go out first—I need to discuss other matters with Han Houshi!"

"Oh..." Zheng Hong Lu left unwillingly.

The formations outside the great hall closed layer by layer.

He Pingsheng then straightened his face and asked: "I heard that when you first awakened your divine nature, it wasn't the Sword Path Divine Nature, but the Curse Path Divine Nature!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes!" Han Houshi nodded: "Indeed, I don't know why it turned out this way!"

"Back then, the Young Master gave me a Nine-Aperture Linglong, I consumed it and began cultivation, practicing the Five Elements Dao!"

"But I never expected that when I broke through to the God Lord Realm, I would awaken a Curse Divine Nature—this disappointed me greatly!"

He Pingsheng said: "Why disappointed?"

"Do you understand the Curse Divine Nature?"

Han Houshi shook his head: "Not really... but this dark divine nature doesn't suit me—I hate it from the bottom of my heart!"

"So I just happened to kill a Sword Path cultivator and replaced his Sword Path Divine Nature!"

"Right!" Han Houshi said: "I heard you obtained the Seven Curse Book, a holy artifact of the Curse Path, and were hunted by three thousand God Emperors!"

"Later, did you sell the Seven Curse Book?"

He Pingsheng smiled: "You're still quite sharp!"

Han Houshi said: "Your options were limited—if you didn't hand it over, it would be troublesome, so you must know the Curse Path well!"

He Pingsheng roughly explained the Curse Path, then asked Han Houshi: "Any regrets?"

"No regrets!" Han Houshi said: "According to your words, this Seven Curse Book was originally the holy artifact of the Sovereign God, so the righteous god of the Curse Path, titled God Emperor, is merely a puppet of the Sovereign God Emperor!"

"Such a great Dao—I'd rather not cultivate it!"

"Young Master!" Han Houshi paused slightly, then continued: "I've long been unable to leave, and now I have nothing good to offer you—instead, I'm always asking you for things!"

"Truly, I'm sorry to you, Young Master!"

He Pingsheng said: "It's nothing!"

Han Houshi added: "Young Master, now that you've given me this method to conceal divine apertures, after cultivating it, I can go out and travel!"

"Please approve, Young Master—I wish to wander throughout this Divine Realm!"

"Can do!" He Pingsheng said: "Later, I'll have Old Cao find someone to take over watching the Peng family's side!"

"But lately the Divine Realm hasn't been peaceful—various powers are contending, and the Seven Curse Book has reappeared, so you must be careful!"

Han Houshi said: "What you say is true, but the more mixed the fish and dragons, the more opportunities there are!"

"Take a look at this!" He Pingsheng then produced another scroll and placed it before Han Houshi.

Han Houshi asked: "Young Master, what is this?"

He Pingsheng said: "This is the Thirty-Six Blood Aperture Distribution Diagram of the Wu Shen Clan—these thirty-six blood apertures are similar to our Xuan Men's thirty-six divine apertures!"

"I've heard that some exceptional cultivators, when opening their divine apertures, also simultaneously open the blood apertures on their bodies!"

"Compare and see—how many blood apertures have you opened?"

Han Houshi took the skin scroll, looked at it for a while, then shook his head: "Young Master, I haven't opened any blood apertures—when breaking through the God Lord Realm, I only opened thirty-four divine apertures!"

He Pingsheng said: "Then it means you haven't—never mind, it's fine not to have them; focus wholeheartedly on cultivating your Xuan Men divine apertures!"

After chatting with Han Houshi for a while, He Pingsheng gave him the Divine Ability of the Dong Xu True Eye.

Then He Pingsheng left directly!

Just as he returned home, he happened to meet the returning Lun Ming Wang.

"Husband?"

Seeing He Pingsheng, Lun Ming Wang overjoyed: "You you you... you how did you come back?"

He Pingsheng smiled: "Is it abnormal for me to come back?"

"What's wrong?"

"Not welcoming me?"

"No... I'm just too excited!" Lun Ming Wang disembarked from the flying boat, waved his hand, and stored the flying boat into his sleeve.

She stepped forward and stood before He Pingsheng: "Husband, this person is..."

Lun Ming Wang's gaze swept over Zheng Hong Lu: "Still quite pretty..."

Zheng Hong Lu hurriedly clasped her hands: "Servant Zheng Hong Lu, greets the Mistress!"

"I am the Young Master's servant, have followed him for about a hundred years—I am an eighth-layer God King Realm cultivator!"

Good, saves He Pingsheng the introduction.

"Great, another God King Realm servant!" The Ming King's gaze swept over Zheng Hong Lu, then over He Pingsheng, saying: "He Pingsheng... I was still worried you were suffering outside, but it seems you're doing quite well!"

Zheng Hong Lu's face flushed instantly: "No... Madam, I am merely a servant, I have not had any such intimate relations with the Young Master, Madam, you have misunderstood!"

She was worried He Pingsheng would feel wronged, so she proactively explained.

"Oh..." Kong Jiaojiao reached out and pinched He Pingsheng's arm, saying: "Sorry, husband... then you still suffered... come, come, come... when we go back I'll make it up to you properly!"

The three walked home chatting and laughing, He Pingsheng took the opportunity to glance over Kong Jiaojiao's body—this woman cultivates through incense power, and her current cultivation has already reached the God Venerable Realm.

"Things haven't been peaceful lately!" After being pulled into her dojo by Kong Jiaojiao, the woman directly waved her hand and drove Zheng Hong Lu out, leaving only Kong Jiaojiao and He Pingsheng in the great hall: "The demon race and human race have just fought another great battle!"

"On the side of the Bai Yu Divine Kingdom, beast tides keep surging without cease, and the human race keeps suffering defeat after defeat!"

"Looking at it, the beast tides are about to overflow and will soon affect our Xuanji Divine Kingdom!"

He Pingsheng was somewhat surprised: "The impact is that great?"

"Mm!" Kong Jiaojiao said: "As for the specific cause, I myself don't know, but the City Lord's Manor requires our families, each family, to send a certain number of disciples to support the Yaoguang Divine Kingdom, and this time I went to the city mainly to handle this matter!"

He Pingsheng frowned slightly: "Wouldn't it be fine to just send a few disciples over?"

"No!" Kong Jiaojiao shook her head: "First, our He family's disciples have no particularly strong ones..."

"Second, the City Lord's Manor requires that in every family, there must be at least one cultivator at the God Lord Realm participating!"

"So, just sending a few disciples simply won't do!"

"Pa..." He Pingsheng slapped his hand hard, saying: "Excellent... I'll have Han Houzhi bring a few people over, perfect!"

Kong Jiaojiao said: "Husband, I'll draft a list!"

"Wait..." He Pingsheng grabbed Kong Jiaojiao's hand: "The list can wait... look, I've suffered so many years outside... Jiao Jiao elder sister... don't believe me? Feel it—hasn't this suffering become quite severe?"
