Chapter 230 To Be An Outstanding Queen
How did she expose herself?
The voice transmission earlier was naturally the familiar voice of the Sea God of the South Ocean.
The word ‘Wen’ that was said indifferently made Daoist Wen Jing’s heart tremble.
She could not figure out if the Sea God was referring to her or the mosquito… Daoist Wen Jing hid in the crevices of the seabed and immediately calmed down. From ancient times until now, she had seen too many storms and huge waves. Back then, she had… observed them from afar!
She had just been exposed without any warning. On top of feeling guilty, she also knew that the Sea God of the South Ocean who was also a member of the Ren School, had a hold on her that would cost her her life. That was why she was slightly flustered… Daoist Wen Jing quickly reacted. She felt that the Sea God, who was full of evil intentions, might be lying to her.
She heard him speak again… “If you continue to do such evil things, I will report to the Tushita Palace and ask the Great Daoist Master to punish you.” The second voice transmission entered the burly puppet. Daoist Wen Jing could not help but laugh bitterly.
She had really been exposed. She was completely exposed! How did I expose myself? The burly puppet sighed, turned around, and cupped his hands in all directions, revealing an awkward smile.
Daoist Wen Jing was about to use the puppet to explain, but before she could say anything, the incarnation of the Sea God, who was hiding somewhere, sent a third voice transmission… “Don’t speak casually. This puppet will return to the South Ocean. Come to Anshui City and meet me.” Upon hearing the voice transmission, Daoist Wen Jing could only smile bitterly. Not only was she exposed, but she was also clearly made to follow the arrangements of the other party…
She could not win, she could not at all.
I had gone through so much. What am I after?
She clearly knew that she was not the Sea God’s match in terms of devising schemes so she could not possibly attack the Sea God directly. However, she felt indignant deep down… What should I do next?
It was not easy for her to get on the side of Ren School. She was a lonely and helpless Queen who had been abandoned by the Primordial World. Soon, she would have a chance to turn things around. Why did things…
Naturally, she was now filled with regret.
If she were to ask the Sea God a question, it would be ‘Why?’
How did I expose my identity? Daoist Wen Jing was puzzled. She had originally thought that even if she could not find the true body of the Sea God of the South Ocean, she could not expose herself. Therefore, she did not hesitate to personally go to the South Ocean and control the Blood Mosquito puppets that she had trained for a long time. She did not expect that she would still be exposed.
The Sea God of the South Ocean was still the Sea God after all. The word ‘bewitching’ was written all over his body.
Forget it. It’s not the first time I’ve lost to him. I might as well give up on saving my pride.
Daoist Wen Jing sighed softly. Her main body turned into a blood mosquito and blocked all Qi in her body. She secretly rushed towards the Sea God Temple of Anshui City. As for the Blood Mosquito puppet that carried the butterfly, she followed the Sea God’s instructions. At that moment, she rushed towards the South Ocean and acted as if she was exasperated and was temporarily retreating…
Tsk, he really tricked me.
In the Hundred Mortal Hall of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He stood up, and his outer layer of disguise increased slightly. However, he did not manage to break through a complete small realm. His face was filled with regret. Li Changshou bowed to the two elders who were in charge of external affairs on both sides and walked out of the Hundred Mortal Hall with his head lowered.
He rode a cloud and left. The elders who were close to Li Changshou wanted to encourage him, but after seeing Li Changshou’s gloomy expression, they did not say anything… It was indeed not easy to comfort him regarding that matter.
After leaving the Hundred Mortal Hall, Li Changshou maintained his depressed expression, but the thoughts in his heart were mixed… Could it be that after Daoist Wen Jing betrayed the Western Sect, she also betrayed the Ren School?
If that was the case, the Saint might give me some hints. After all, Daoist Wen Jing is related to the plot that I would use against the Western Sect in the future.
Or could it be that Daoist Wen Jing had always been resentful towards me, the Sea God, and wanted to find my true body? Does she want us to hold onto each other’s weakness so that she can have more authority? Based on Li Changshou’s observations over the past few days, that was very likely. Actually, before Li Changshou spoke, he did not confirm that it was Daoist Wen Jing. He only sensed a few elements and found it suspicious… One of the main elements was the puppet.
A few days ago, he had discovered that the burly man at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm seemed to have been controlled by someone. Although there were not many flaws in the other party’s actions, Li Changshou, who was good at using paper effigies, could tell from various details that the other party was a puppet.
For example, the puppet’s eyes and minor actions. In the Primordial World, there were countless ways to control the minds of others. Li Changshou could not be sure if that was a Blood Mosquito puppet… However, the other party’s behavior during that period of time was indeed abnormal… Every time the puppet attacked, it would lure his incarnation out, but it would retreat at the crucial moment. It would not be ruthless or kill the incarnation
The other party encouraged the mortals to create trouble but only caused trouble in a small area. It did not kill anyone and was very afraid of negative karma.
Every time the puppet appeared in the Sea God Temple, it would run away. It seemed a little guilty… Li Changshou made a list of options in his heart. Just as he was halfway through the elimination process, he suddenly thought, Could this be the mosquito’s doing? After hesitating for two days, Li Changshou decided to trick the other party… He had carefully thought about the words he said when he sent the voice transmission, over and over again, especially when he called her ‘Wen’. If the other party was not Daoist Wen Jing, he would not directly expose the fact that he knew Daoist Wen Jing and protect the ‘outstanding devotees’ hidden in the Western Sect.
If the other party was indeed Daoist Wen Jing, just the word ‘Wen’ or ‘Mosquito’ could highlight that he had already been angered by her and was trying to test if she had betrayed the sect a second time…
It was the burly puppet’s subconscious reaction that made Li Changshou confirm that the other party was Daoist Wen Jing. The other party was shocked and panicked for a moment. She was in disbelief that he could still recognize him despite being in such a state… Li Changshou’s last few words were just to confirm the puppet’s identity so that he could make some arrangements. At that moment, Li Changshou’s spiritual perception had already returned to normal. He no longer felt any danger, but he still did not dare to let his guard down.
It was really not easy to subdue that mosquito. It was really troublesome!
What he needed to confirm now was whether Daoist Wen Jing had betrayed the Ren School or not.
Actually, the judgment method was simple.
Next, if Daoist Wen Jing used her main body, or if she used the mystical ability of Blood Mosquitoes to rush to the Sea God Temple, it meant that Daoist Wen Jing had a 60% chance of joining the Ren School.
If that puppet that was in the form of burly man were to come, it would be interesting… Li Changshou’s main body returned to the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak. He immediately activated the various array formations around him and checked the anti-deduction trinkets on his body. At that moment, he caught a buzzing mosquito in the main temple of the Sea God. It arrived rather quickly. Li Changshou’s incarnation that was hidden in the underground array emitted its immortal senses. A seductive figure appeared in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple. She was covered in a layer of fog. However, Li Changshou, who had cultivated for many years in his previous life, had used the “Uncensored Vision” at this moment. He had also used his skills to see through the fog and saw the enchanting woman dressed in a blood-colored chiffon dress. The fiendish aura hidden in her bones gave Li Changshou a sense of oppression…
It should be the mosquito’s main body. Why is she dressed so revealingly? Daoist Wen Jing looked around and searched for the Sea God in the South Ocean. However, she only heard one sentence. “Change into proper clothes and wait for me in the study room in the north-west pavilion.” Daoist Wen Jing frowned, feeling a little indignant. How are my clothes indecent?
However, Li Changshou transmitted his voice again. “Great Daoist Master, you can look at this place at any time.”
Daoist Wen Jing immediately turned around and condensed a dark-blue long dress. At the same time, she changed her hairstyle to the Cloud hairstyle that was commonly seen on women in the Primordial World.
Then, she hid and rushed to the pavilion.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Uh, is this mosquito really interested in the Great Daoist Master? The Primordial King of Fraud, Zhao Gongming shares a romance with his fan, the Goddess of Golden Light, while the ferocious Primordial Beast, the mosquito Daoist Wen Jing, is wooing the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du? What a joke… The scenes of the Primordial World were really out of his expectations. Ahem, let’s talk about serious matters. Not long after, a paper effigy that was disguised as an old Daoist emerged from the underground paper effigy vault and headed for the pavilion.
After meeting Daoist Wen Jing, Li Changshou was neither angry nor displeased. He was still smiling kindly as if he was not the one who had been tormented previously. Li Changshou sat behind his desk. Daoist Wen Jing dispersed the fog around her and smiled charmingly. “Sit,” Li Changshou said calmly.
“No, I’ll just stand,” Daoist Wen Jing said softly. Li Changshou stared at Daoist Wen Jing’s charming phoenix-like eyes. He maintained a clear Dao heart and tried his best to ignore the pressure that Daoist Wen Jing gave him. At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing and Li Changshou’s paper effigy looked at each other. Soon, she sighed softly and hesitated. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, do you have some resentment towards me?”
“That’s right.” Daoist Wen Jing raised her chin slightly. “I’m ultimately the queen of a race. You subdued me with just a few words. In my heart, I’m…”
“And then?”
“I am… Forget it!”
Daoist Wen Jing suddenly sighed and sat on a nearby chair.
She said in a calm tone, “I had some evil thoughts and wanted to tease your main body. The cause is that I received the orders from the Western Sect a few days ago. They asked me to use the Soul-Conquering Butterfly to find your main body and secretly eliminate you.” Li Changshou’s paper effigy nodded calmly. At that moment, the main body in the underground secret chamber of the Little Qiong Peak Pill Chamber frowned.
The Little Qiong Peak’s plan for vagrancy could not be implemented!
Daoist Wen Jing continued, “I will not really hurt you. You are holding onto my future path of survival… I just wanted to have more ways to counter-attack you.” Li Changshou said warmly, “I can only trust fifty percent of your words now.” Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly. However, she knew that that was the result of her own actions.
She whispered, “I can make a vow like I did the last time. I will prove that I did not betray you.”
“Yes, please wait for a moment.” Li Changshou said calmly. He picked up a brush and ink at the side and wrote something for a while. Then, he casually wrote a thousand-word Dao oath and pushed it towards Daoist Wen Jing using his immortal power. The mosquito was speechless. Not long after, the Dao runes of the Heavenly Dao descended and retreated.
Daoist Wen Jing remained seated helplessly. His eyes were filled with helplessness.
He asked with a bitter smile, “Are there other punishments?”
“Don’t mention punishment.” Li Changshou smiled. In order to avoid such incidents in the future, Li Changshou decided to use some tricks… Li Changshou sighed and said in a mellow voice, “I’m the one who neglected the resentment in your heart. This is also my responsibility. In the future, Fellow Daoist Wen Jing, if you have anything that’s hidden in your heart, you can come and tell me. Wen Jing, I know that you have complaints about the current Heaven and Earth and hate the Heavenly Dao. However, living beings that exist in the world have many other pursuits apart from survival. Have you thought about why you are still alive?” Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly and said, “Survival is the natural nature of life. If you are afraid of death, you will seek survival.”
“No.” Li Changshou slowly shook his head and said earnestly, “Today, I will tell you three new words.” Daoist Wen Jing asked curiously, “Are there any new words that I have never heard before?”
“Of course.” Li Changshou raised his brush and wrote three lines of twelve words on an expensive and thin piece of paper.
I’m worth it.
I want to be satisfied.
The pursuit of life.
At that moment, Li Changshou slowly spoke. He used the words that he used to encourage his employees in the past life when he first set up his company. He mixed them with the principles of cultivation in the Primordial World and explained them to Daoist Wen Jing in detail. Not long after, Daoist Wen Jing was attracted by Li Changshou’s Dao and righteousness. She stood up and walked to the desk, quietly listening to him speak… Those were actually Li Changshou’s life experiences in his previous life.
If he wanted the young employees to work more but did not want to give them a high salary, he would talk to them about his ideals.
If he wanted the company’s wily old foxes to show some remaining value and did not want to give them a promotion or raise, he would talk about achieving their own value.
Daoist Wen Jing, on the other hand, was a ‘talent’ that the Ren School needed. She also felt a little resentful towards her temporary supervisor…
That was on the basis of the first two lines. He had to play mind games and talk about friendship.
Li Changshou was most impressed by a successful businessman in his previous life, who was able to call his employees the talents that he supplied to society.
Today, he was thick-skinned. He had to instill some thoughts in Daoist Wen Jing’s heart to prevent future troubles!
Unknowingly, it was already late at night… Daoist Wen Jing’s eyes were filled with starlight as she smiled. She bowed to the old Sea God and said, “Thank you for enlightening me, Fellow Daoist.”
“Go.” Li Changshou waved his hand. “Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist,” Daoist Wen Jing said firmly. “I will definitely become an expert that the Ren School and the Heavenly Courts need. I will definitely not live my life in vain!”
“Okay.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “We will deal with the following matters of the Soul-Conquering Butterfly according to what I said just now.” Daoist Wen Jing nodded slightly and smiled at Li Changshou. Sighing emotionally, she turned around and transformed into a sanguine glow, leaving behind a buzzing sound before quickly disappearing.
This Daoist Wen… wants to be an outstanding queen, eh?
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. The paper effigy that was disguised as an old Daoist threw out some flames and turned the paper and chair that Daoist Wen Jing had sat on into ashes.
