Chapter 713: Chapter 353: Rejection from the Empress Dowager_2

Demons can never enter the Heavenly Gate unless they transform into humans. And humans need to use the Ascension Bridge; otherwise, they can’t escape birth, aging, illness, and death for a lifetime. Immortals also cannot open the Heavenly Gate at will and enjoy the ultimate earthly pleasures again...

All three are bound by the rules of heaven and earth and can only follow them obediently.

But Shuras are different; the laws of heaven and earth don’t apply to them.

Zhao Wuxiu’s idea should be similar to ours back then, merging with the borderless soul of Shura, deceiving the laws of heaven and earth, and then forcibly mixing into the Heavenly Gate.

But we failed back then, so I don’t think Zhao Wuxiu will succeed. However, I still admire his courage, and I’ll definitely burn some paper money at his grave if the time comes."

Xuanyuan Shugui said, "We failed back then because we couldn’t merge with the borderless soul of Shura. But if Zhao Wuxiu has found a way to succeed, perhaps this path is feasible."

Heaven Master Chou froze, lost in thought.

After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I can’t be sure either. Only time will tell if Zhao Wuxiu has that luck."

Xuanyuan Shugui was silent for a moment, then spoke:

"The daughter of the Mansion Master from Tianqing Manor has a Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart and is an excellent Tool Girl. Since you’ve taken the Nirvana Bone, why let that girl go? Logically, with her help, your cultivation would recover faster."

Heaven Master Chou waved his hand helplessly and said, "My subordinates were too incompetent to catch that girl, it’s such a pity."

Xuanyuan Shugui smiled faintly and stopped asking further.

The years of being both enemy and friend had made him too familiar with this sinister and cunning old friend.

The other party clearly wasn’t telling the truth.

Even if the girl ran away for a while, if Heaven Master Chou was really interested, he would definitely catch her.

It can only be said that this old guy still has other thoughts hidden.

"Let’s go."

Xuanyuan Shugui stood up, dusted off his robe, and leisurely left with his worn-out erhu, leaving a sentence, "That Jiang Mo guy is quite interesting."

Heaven Master Chou’s eyes flickered, gently rubbing his chin, muttering, "He is quite interesting."

Only after confirming that Kumu and Xuanyuan Shugui had left, did Heaven Master Chou stop pretending, spitting out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, his body trembling slightly.

And his face began to age visibly, with some gray appearing in his hair.

Heaven Master Chou tried to cross his legs, using the Yin Yang Breathing Technique for breath control and rejuvenation, while taking out a small porcelain doll from his bosom and smashing it violently.

Soon, a slender figure rapidly approached.

"Immortal Master Lord!"

The newcomer was a beautiful woman.

This woman was none other than the Divine Envoy Lord who had previously ordered General He and Mr. Zhao to capture Jiang Shouzhong and the others in Minzhou city, named Tian Xiang.

She was the personal maid of Heaven Master Chou and had a sister named Hong Xiu.

The woman’s face was pale, kneeling on the ground, "Subordinate is late, please forgive me, Immortal Master Lord."

"Strip!"

Heaven Master Chou’s forehead veins pulsed, his face full of pain.

Tian Xiang hesitated not a bit and removed her clothes...

After about half an incense stick of time, Heaven Master Chou pushed the kneeling woman in front of him away, then took a Bone Pill. His aged face quickly regained its youthfulness.

Soon, he became a young man again.

"Is it that I didn’t use the method correctly, or is the Nirvana Bone just a name that doesn’t live up to reality? Why can’t it truly rejuvenate me?"

Heaven Master Chou frowned deeply.

Tian Xiang dressed, respectfully kneeling by his side.

With his hands behind his back, Heaven Master Chou looked toward the direction Xuanyuan Shugui had just left, talking to himself, "That poverty-stricken old scholar is planning to target Zhao Wuxiu?"

Then, shaking his head, he said, "No, that old bastard is deliberately digging a pit for me, planning to have me explore Zhao Wuxiu’s situation first. Hmph, I won’t fall for it."

Though he said so, his heart still itched intensely.

Zhao Wuxiu wasn’t a fool.

If he isn’t fully prepared, he wouldn’t ascend.

Should I go and have a look?

Heaven Master Chou turned his head, gazing at the peak of Zhenxuan Mountain, his eyes burning with intense regret:

"It’s a pity, with my current power, I can’t forcibly snatch that girl. If I had her help, a mere Zhao Wuxiu wouldn’t be in my eyes!"

Tian Xiang lowered her voice and said, "My sister and I will do our best to aid you in your cultivation, Immortal Master Lord."

No sooner had she spoken than Heaven Master Chou slapped her fiercely.

Heaven Master Chou looked at her with disgust: "If you sisters weren’t rare Mysterious Charm Bodies, I wouldn’t bother playing with you two filthy things."

The woman knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the earth, her body trembling.

Seemingly fearful, her eyes flashed with both resentment and ferocity, her slender fingers clawing slightly into the grass.

Heaven Master Chou looked at her, as if seeing through her thoughts, coldly laughed: "Hiding skill in clumsiness, obscuring to reveal, expressing purity within filth, bending to stretch... girl, do you think I can’t see through your and your sister’s petty tricks?"

Tian Xiang’s face turned ashen, her body trembling even more.

Heaven Master Chou squatted down, grabbed her hair, and pulled her head up, forcing her to look him in the eye: "When one man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend. Rest assured, if I truly succeed in Ascension, you two hens will enjoy the splendor as well."

——

Heaven does not disappoint the determined, and Jiang Shouzhong finally found an exit.

The exit was a Barrier Gate similar to the Trial Room of the Sword Storage Tower. Being in the dark, it was hard to see, and Jiang Shouzhong found it purely by groping and luck.

But compared to the joyful Jiang Shouzhong, Xiao Lingqiu, carried on his back, had already cursed the man a million times in her heart.

Because the woman had no strength, she couldn’t wrap her arms around the man’s neck for support.

In such a situation, Jiang Shouzhong could only support her by her hips and thighs.

Xiao Lingqiu was murderous.

Every time he moved or occasionally lifted her, those ten fingers would undoubtedly sink into her flesh, transmitting warmth and sensation that left Xiao Lingqiu’s cheeks burning, and utterly embarrassed.

It’s said that you shouldn’t touch the tiger’s butt.

But as an Empress Dowager, who would dare to touch her?

"Huh, this place doesn’t seem to be Zhenxuan Mountain."

The man’s words interrupted her thoughts.

Xiao Lingqiu looked up, and what unfolded before her was a canvas of red and yellow intertwined Maple Forest.

The autumn leaves, either fiery red like flames or brilliant like gold foil, painted a serene and picturesque scene that seemed unreal.

"So beautiful..."

The beautiful woman was a bit entranced.

But the next moment, the man tightened his grip on her hips and thighs and lifted her higher, pulling her emotions back to reality.

Xiao Lingqiu wanted to burst into anger, but didn’t know what to say.

After all, she was in the wrong.

"Speaking of which, I have a question for you," Jiang Shouzhong said, searching for the way while asking, "Did Miaomiao tell the Empress Dowager about my relationship with her?"

Xiao Lingqiu remained silent.

"She probably didn’t."

Jiang Shouzhong sighed, "Actually, even if that girl didn’t say, I understand her difficulties. So I planned to deal with the matters in Dazhou first, then go to Yanrong to personally explain things to the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Lingqiu sneered, "Do you even have the guts to go to Yanrong?"

Jiang Shouzhong said, "I know there’s danger, but you can’t just express your feelings for a woman verbally. Anyone can make promises, but actions are necessary. Besides, I believe I can convince the Empress Dowager Xiao to let Miaomiao come to me."

"Impossible!"

Xiao Lingqiu immediately denied it.

This man was so naive, Miaomiao was her precious treasure. How could she agree to give her to this scumbag?

Such a thing would never happen.

Never!

Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "You’re not the Empress Dowager, your words don’t count."

Xiao Lingqiu’s tone was cold, "I’ve been with the Empress Dowager for so many years, I know her character best. She would never marry Princess Miaomiao to you, so give up."

After a pause, Xiao Lingqiu continued, "If you really want what’s best for Princess Miaomiao, stop disturbing her and peacefully live with your other beauties."

Jiang Shouzhong was silent for a moment, then softly said:

"If I truly want what’s best for Miaomiao, I can’t give her up. Whether or not the Empress Dowager agrees is irrelevant; Miaomiao will always be my woman."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingqiu couldn’t help but laugh in anger.

Is this guy planning to forcibly take her?

Does he even stand a chance?

Xiao Lingqiu secretly disdained:

"Unless one day you have the ability to ride on the head of the grieving Empress, you can forget about getting Miaomiao in your lifetime."
