Chapter 201: Lush Greenery!

In the Great Expansion Imperial Capital, by the lakeside of the Northern City.

A man and a woman left the bustling banquet, standing side by side on the riverbank in the quiet of the deep night.

The woman's blue hair flowed like a waterfall, shimmering with light and color; her face was that of a fairy, as if she had fallen from the blue sky to the mortal world, her ice-like skin reflecting the blue silk, her clear charm standing apart from the dust.

The man's white hair was like frost, floating and otherworldly; his bearing was that of a gentleman, just as the cold moon shines upon the pine forest, his jade face showing silver strands, his brilliance unmatched in the world.

Fang Can turned his head slightly to look at the blue-haired woman beside him, who was like a fairy, and smiled lightly, saying:

"Senior Liu, I have now, according to the goal you set, successfully won the championship of the Grand Competition, and have not disappointed you, Senior."

It was more than just not disappointing.

It should be said that every single link in the process far exceeded Liu Qingmeng's expectations.

Originally, according to her plan, it would have been quite good if Fang Can could have achieved a top-five ranking; she never expected the young man to directly seize first place.

'Fang Can is simply much more useful than Jiang Ningan.' This thought unconsciously popped into Liu Qingmeng's mind.

This young man truly made her happy, possessing both talent and being worry-free.

Unlike her own disciple, who, upon emerging from one seclusion, immediately ascended the Heavenly Road; she still clearly remembered her mood when she heard this news.

Carrying a trace of complex emotions toward her female disciple, Liu Qingmeng asked: "You did well. When do you plan to break through to the Heavenly Road? If you feel there is still room for improvement, then continue to settle for a period of time."

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I feel I have accumulated enough, and I can break through at any time now."

"Wait a few days, then find an auspicious day to attempt the breakthrough."

Regarding the young man's choice, Liu Qingmeng did not stop him, but lightly raised her head and said: "Very well, I will guard your cultivation at that time."

"In that case, thank you, Senior." Fang Can smiled and said:

"By the way, did Senior Jiang not come out with you? I originally wanted to share the joy with her."

Hearing Fang Can suddenly mention Jiang Ningan, Liu Qingmeng frowned slightly and said: "I left a projection behind at the banquet; she did not notice my departure. Jiang Ningan stayed there to accompany the projection and did not come."

"So, Senior is now your original body, then?" Facing the cool evening breeze, Fang Can sized up the woman before him.

"So what if I am?"

"Haha, nothing. I just feel that Senior is indeed completely different from the projection in the present world, not like the same person."

Fang Can shook his head, sighing inwardly at Liu Qingmeng's purity and coldness.

That previous projection, after losing all its power, was incredibly lively, completely unlike this cold demeanor, and would often grab him a couple of times.

And according to what that previous projection said, Liu Qingmeng follows a cultivation method leaning toward the Path of Ruthlessness, constantly using great magical power to suppress the myriad distracting thoughts in her heart, hence her coldness like ice.

It was precisely because the exploration of the present world earlier had exhausted all her power; without power to suppress, and with the projection's age shrinking day by day, her personality became increasingly flamboyant.

Indeed, regarding Fang Can's sigh, thinking of those memories returned by the previous projection in the present world.

Her projection had even felt lust toward Fang Can; her eyebrows unconsciously knitted together.

"The Otherworld was merely because this Seat's power was too depleted, so I momentarily felt a playful heart," Liu Qingmeng said coldly. "I hope you do not misunderstand."

'Misunderstand what?' Fang Can paused for a moment, then felt speechless in his heart: 'Senior Liu wouldn't think I have feelings for her, would she? This hundred-plus-year-old woman is a bit of a turn-off.'

Suppressing the somewhat rude thought in his heart, Fang Can waved his hand and said: "Senior, rest assured. I, Fang Can, have always respected my teachers and valued the Dao; I would absolutely never commit such an act of riding the master and scorning the ancestor."

"I regard both Seniors as elders; there is not the slightest thought of overstepping. If Senior has misunderstood, I apologize here."

Liu Qingmeng's expression softened slightly: "There is no need to be so rigid. You can have a slight thought of overstepping."

"Ah?" Fang Can looked up in astonishment. What does this mean? Is she hinting that I should take the initiative?

Noticing the loophole in her words, Liu Qingmeng quickly added: "Toward Jiang Ningan, you can be slightly overstepping."

'So that's it.' Fang Can breathed a sigh of relief; he thought Liu Qingmeng had changed her nature.

If he said there were no occasional thoughts in his heart about something like a 【Master-Disciple's Bowl】, that would be absolutely impossible.

After all, he is not gay; occasionally seeing the two stunning beauties, Jiang Ningan and Liu Qingmeng, standing together, it is understandable that a perverted thought would arise in his mind.

But the most important thing in being a person is restraint.

Fang Can still has the shackles of morality on him.

It was one thing for such thoughts to inevitably pop into his head, but he certainly couldn't actually do what Shi Mo did and climb aboard.

Just like the thought now rising in Fang Can's head: to reach both hands into the lapels and forcefully grab Liu Qingmeng's two jade peach breasts to exercise his grip strength.

But could he really do that? If he did, wouldn't he be worse than a beast?

After all, he has already cut down over two hundred women; even if the two were as beautiful as they were, he truly didn't lack for this.

He, Fang Can, is a positive character, the protagonist!

Like the things that happened to Yuan Dang in his past life, he would definitely resolutely never actively do such things again; it would truly ruin his image.

Moreover, he already has enough women now; if a few more came along, would he still cultivate? Where would he get so much time to indulge in beauty?

Actually, if speaking in terms of maximizing benefits, Fang Can could, after using the hundred people in the present world for cultivation, simply ignore them.

As for the hundred people in this world, he could wait until after cultivating the Y-God Curse, then directly kill them to silence them.

After all, it won't be long before the next Heavenly Secrets List exposes Fang Can's status as a furnace; if the goal is to hide the news, killing them after use is the most accurate choice.

But Fang Can has a kind heart; after all, one night as husband and wife brings a hundred nights of grace, so he did not choose the safest path.

Instead, he wasted precious cultivation time to suppress the S-Demons in the hearts of the women.

One can see how gentle he is.

Don't say actively climbing aboard; even if Liu Qingmeng invited him to participate in a Y-Party, Fang Can would have to refuse.

So facing Liu Qingmeng's statement, Fang Can gently shook his head and said: "Senior Liu, this is not urgent. I do not have any particularly pressing thoughts now; let everything follow fate."

"You do not, but Jiang Ningan has great thoughts toward you."

Liu Qingmeng said with a drifting tone: "Moreover, you are entangled in evil karma and naturally possess a skin that attracts bees and butterflies. You will have more women in the future, not fewer; it won't matter if you have Jiang Ningan as well, right?"

"Just for the sake of her cultivation, you must make her fall in love with you. While she is deeply devoted to you, you must remain distant yet close, maintaining the relationship without consummating the marriage."

"Ah?" Fang Can scratched his head, speechless: "What kind of statement is this, Senior?"

'Why does it feel like she's talking like a scumbag?'

"It's very simple. I intend for her to cultivate the technique of the Asura Path—'Lush Greenery'." Liu Qingmeng wore a cruel smile.

"The Asura Path?" Fang Can's expression shifted slightly; he still had a deep impression of this Asura Path.

After all, back at the Prince of Qing's Wang Fu, he had seen the sect's supreme treasure of the Asura Path.
