Chapter 386: Chapter 384: Return to Chu Country, Long Aotian’s Arrival (Two Chapters Combined)_2
The woman in red said, "What a pity, that woman’s arrogance lost her a great opportunity."
At this moment, a woman in blue entered, and respectfully said, "Your Highness, according to our intelligence in Chu Country, Lu Xuanji has bypassed our interception and returned to Chu Country. Please, Your Highness, punish us!"
"Returned!"
Long Aotian listened, slightly dazed, but soon after, he laughed.
With a hint of joy in his expression: "Good, good, good! Our Sea Race’s army is buried along the route everywhere, forming a heavenly net, yet they let him escape. That Lu Xuanji is indeed formidable and interesting! This noble will meet such an outstanding talent. Red Jade, Xue Yue, Bai Lan, Mo Mei, head to Chu Country!"
"No!"
Red Jade objected, "Your Highness, with your noble status, if any Human Race strongman acts against you, there might be danger!"
"Danger, what danger could there be!"
Long Aotian laughed, "I am a peerless prodigy, my talent is such that many Immortals in their youth weren’t as strong as I am. With the Ninth Grade Spirit Treasure left by my father and top-tier puppet protectors, what should I fear? If it’s a fair fight, I’ll kill him; if it’s bullying the weak, I’ll have the puppets kill him!"
The words carried a sense of arrogance, along with a trace of madness.
When his father ascended, he was left in the Mortal World.
After countless years, he finally woke up. Due to the nobility of his bloodline, his personal talent, and his father’s inheritance, he exuded an innate sense of pride.
Within this pride, there was a subtle loneliness, and a yearning to meet a strong enemy.
Unfortunately, strong enemies were hard to find.
Many enemies were simply no match for him, beaten to death with a few punches and kicks.
Victory came too easily, almost an unstoppable path all the way here.
Because of being too invincible, it appeared somewhat lonely, so he could only seek some enemies in another battleground, hence taking in some beautiful female cultivators as concubines and battling in the confines of the bed.
Only this way, could he dispel the lonely and boring mood.
"Let’s go to Chu Country!"
...
In a flash of movement, Lu Xuanji arrived at Purple Sun Mountain.
At that moment, Jin Xi had already finished her retreat and was sitting atop a high building, sipping tea, looking into the distance.
Lu Xuanji approached, and Jin Xi only resisted slightly before complying.
After some time had passed, Jin Xi said, "Husband, how have you been recently?"
"Xian’Er got married, and it’s with a True Monarch from Divine Water Palace, but it also stirred up East Sea Dragon Palace!" Lu Xuanji replied, speaking of past events, discussing the interceptions by the Sea Race, and other matters.
"Husband, the Tribulation Qi on you is increasing!"
Jin Xi said, "The world has Destiny, what is called Luck, is the Fateful Encounter. When the fate is here, luck also arrives. Those with great Destiny often encounter treasures and various fortunes while travelling, which is a sign of good luck. But the Heavenly Dao changes, every peck and drink has its set numbers, enjoying much Destiny means bearing much Tribulation!"
"The greater the fortune, the greater the tribulation."
"If one can withstand the Tribulation Qi brought by the Destiny, turning peril into safety; if one cannot withstand the Tribulation Qi, then it is a thin blessing, lacking virtues fitting the position."
"Tribulation Qi, is merely a small matter!"
Lu Xuanji said, with an indifferent and composed attitude.
Acting cool might not always succeed, but showing off can infuse confidence in those around, reducing some worries.
It was unclear how much time passed, as the two immersed themselves together.
The joyful days were fleeting and limited.
...
On Purple Sun Mountain, within less than a month’s time, word arrived.
A powerful member of the East Sea Dragon Race came to challenge.
"So audacious, even daring to come to our Human Race’s territory!" Lu Xuanji said, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"How would he not dare?"
Jin Xi replied, "As long as there isn’t a massacre in our Human Race’s domain, only sparring, those old ancestors of the Human Race will not interfere!"
"Alright then, I’ll fight him a bit!"
Lu Xuanji said, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Oh, he’s here!"
In a flash of movement, Lu Xuanji left the place, reaching the foot of the mountain to wait.
Treating guests should be enthusiastic, cannot let the guest wait long.
...
Gradually, in the distance, appeared a luxurious sedan.
The sedan was forged from Spirit Wood, with light sheer around it, measuring ten meters long, three meters wide, and three meters high.
Around the sedan, were sixteen female demons carrying it together.
These female demons emanated powerful auras, clearly Golden Core Great Demons, and their appearances were beautiful, practically enchanting, yet they performed lowly tasks.
The tall sedan being carried emitted traces of terrifying aura, steadily approaching Purple Sun Mountain.
At the foot of Purple Sun Mountain, it halted.
For ahead stood a handsome man, none other than Lu Xuanji.
"Greetings, fellow cultivator!"
From the sedan, came a man’s voice.
"Fellow cultivator, quite a display, directly having sixteen maids carry the sedan... Such a spectacle, makes small figures like us envious!" Lu Xuanji said.
"Haha, these are just minor tricks!"
At this moment, the sedan opened, and out stepped a handsome man, his body resembling White Jade, with a tall stature exuding authority in waves.
"Red Jade, put away the sedan!"
The handsome man ordered.
"Yes, Master!"
At this moment, the nearby maid in red nodded, took out a palace, and with a wave, the sixteen maids entered the palace, and the luxurious sedan also entered the palace.
Only four beautiful maidservants stood behind to serve.
These four maidservants emitted ancient and powerful auras, sturdy and stable in their foundation, possessing Nascent Soul Cultivation, yet serving respectfully as maids.
This is the heritage of great clans.
Lu Xuanji asked, "How may I address fellow cultivator?"
"Long Aotian!"
The handsome man spoke, "I have been sealed for long years, and just recently emerged, originally planning to casually stroll in Chu Country, yet did not expect to encounter a formidable enemy like fellow cultivator!"
Approaching Lu Xuanji, Long Aotian felt his heart subtly beating, his bloodline issuing warnings.
His bloodline warned that the person before him was a powerful enemy.
Not only this, but the dormant Ninth Grade Spirit Treasure within his body also stirred gently, seeming excited but mostly reminding him to be careful.
All these signs indicated that the enemy before him was somewhat terrifying.
His previously relaxed heart became grave.
"How may I address fellow cultivator?"
Long Aotian asked.
Lu Xuanji smiled, "You may call me Lu Xuanji, fellow cultivator!"
"Why did you take my concubine?" Long Aotian spoke, "Recently, Divine Water Palace agreed to gift me a human woman as a concubine. Of course, I refused, as ordinary powder, ordinary vase women, do not deserve to be my concubine."
"But Divine Water Palace has spoken, wished to form an alliance, if I directly refused, it’s not good. So, I reluctantly agreed!"
"Yet I did not expect this situation, fellow cultivator why is this?"
"Apologies..."
Lu Xuanji spoke, recounting the outset of events.
Listening, Long Aotian slightly frowned, "Seems the Human Race is not united within. Alas, just a mere human female, merely a piece of torn clothing, take her if you wish. This young lord lacks no women, why would I forcibly seize a civilian girl!"
"Thank you, fellow cultivator!"
Lu Xuanji gratefully responded.
Long Aotian said, "How do you view the four maids by my side?"
Saying so, he pointed to the rear where Red Jade and others were standing.
"Each has their own charm like Spring Orchid and Autumn Chrysanthemum!" Lu Xuanji commented.
"That’s right!"
Long Aotian said. "These four maids are all my Companion Demons, grown accompanying me. They all possess Divinity Transformation talent, yet serve as my maids. Since Ziyun doesn’t wish to serve this young lord, then no need. Many women desire to serve this young lord indeed!"
