Chapter 311: Chapter 308: Old Friends Meet, Extreme Tug-of-War

"Shopkeeper, slice up two more pounds of soy-sauce beef, one roasted chicken, two steamed buns, and a pot of fine wine, the young master has been traveling all day and is genuinely hungry now."

The white-robed young master, who fluttered into the door with a paper fan in hand, casually handed over two "meal tickets" issued by the Taoyuan Government to Wang Yuan’s "parents."

These are the common currency in this Paradise.

Despite his fair appearance, his every movement exuded an air of a hero, inevitably winning people’s admiration.

"Alright, young master, please take a seat, the food and drink are readily available and will be ready in no time!

Sanxi, go clean up a superior room for our honorable guest."

The "parents" went to the kitchen while another waiter came to warmly greet the guest, guiding the white-robed young master to an empty table next to Wang Yuan.

As they passed by each other, this white-robed young master could not help but take an extra glance at him, just like the other guests.

With Huang Wu’s stunningly peerless physical beauty, she indeed captivated both men and women of all ages.

If she hadn’t spent most of her time in the Five Senses Altar City, avoiding strangers, it would be hard to imagine how many major and minor turbulences she would provoke.

Wang Yuan likely would have had to schedule his fights well in advance.

No wonder this "white-robed young master," when their eyes met, also had a heartbeat that raced, seemingly love-struck.

And Wang Yuan, in that brief exchange of looks, shuddered inside and finally confirmed "his" identity.

"There’s no mistake, though his appearance has changed, this person is almost certainly... the White Lotus Holy Daughter, Su Guyun!!

Seeing her current appearance and aura, it seems she has a situation similar to mine, having reincarnated into the body of a disciple deeply involved in karmic ties.

Carrying a lineage of Taoist skill, she now also possesses the ability to cast spells, and she’s no easy target!"

With the young disciple Zhu Bo’an working undercover, Wang Yuan was very familiar with the details of the No-Life Dao sect.

There was indeed no shortage of people entering Taoyuan this time.

Apart from Su Guyun, the leader who possessed the peak Taoist ability of the Yin God realm, the others were at most in the True Qi realm.

"But don’t be fooled by this woman’s seemingly naive and innocent exterior of a pure White Lotus; in reality, her cunning and deceit are no less than Old Wang’s.

She dared to enter this mysterious Taoyuan for a promotion ceremony, the specifics of which are still unclear,

surely making full preparations and having reliable support.

I need to be even more cautious, as her eye for detail may be much more venomous than any demon or monster!"

In contrast, when in the dream realm of Dengzhou Prefecture, Wang Yuan was disguised as "Song Bingyi" and was consistently in his Ghost Baby form.

Huang Wu never revealed herself in front of Su Guyun.

Realizing that a True Spirit Unobscured could see through the ’Deceitful Heart’ disguises, Wang Yuan further concealed his true appearance and swapped the overly conspicuous wedding dress he was wearing.

Thus, Su Guyun had never linked Wang Yuan to the ringleader who had foiled her sect’s plans several times.

She just assumed he was one of the original inhabitants here.

She even vaguely felt that this beauty had a rare kind of gentle exterior but firm interior aura, quite akin to her own, and unwittingly developed a liking for him.

She thought to herself:

"Although I do not know her exact date and time of birth, I perceive that she inherently has Phoenix bones, truly a rare find for a top-notch concubine in the mortal world.

Once I complete the final ritual at the Flat Peach Banquet and achieve the Three True Dharma Body, and when I leave the Taoyuan Mysterious Realm, perhaps I can take you with me,

rescue you from the bitter sea of the mortal world where every now and then reincarnation occurs.

When I manifest a male body to achieve great things, how can I lack a peerless beauty worthy of me?"

As Su Guyun thought this, she sat down opposite the "beauty" at the neighboring table, making it convenient to admire her.

The so-called beauty is tantalizing; it is like savoring meat flavor through feasting on peaches with her beauty complementing the drink.

Composed and confident, she was indifferent to the encircling deceitful spirits.

She completely disregarded their slobbering murmurs upon seeing another living person arrive:

"Can he see us?"

"If he can see us, we can eat him, I like human flesh, not peaches!"

After consuming her sect’s junior at the Yin God realm, Jin Changhao, Su Guyun’s Taoist skills had become a synergy of fire and water.

Combining the nuances of both the Pill Fire Golden Lotus Skill and the Good Water White Lotus Skill.

All the sect members forcibly brought along were actually chosen by her as backup carriers.

Especially those with high military and Taoist cultivation skills, she effectuated ways for them to owe her significant karmic debts, ensuring greater attractiveness of the True Spirit at the time of reincarnation.

After her reincarnation into a sect member, she could, like Wang Yuan, freely use the junior brothers’ and sisters’ military and Taoist skills.

According to the patterns understood by Su Guyun,

reincarnation not only follows "karmic retribution", but also most likely occurs among the same group of entrants, with those who have reincarnated before not likely to do so again soon.

As long as the True Spirit remains dormant, there is virtually no major danger.

Moreover, she had obtained a powerful treasure by chance, which left her unafraid of these ordinary mysteries.

As the saying goes, a bird perched on a frail branch does not worry about the branch breaking because its confidence lies not in the branch, but in its own wings.

Confident at heart, naturally she remained calm and composed.

As various peach-based dishes were served at the table, just as Su Guyun was about to pick up her chopsticks to enjoy the "All Peach Banquet," to maintain her identity,

she saw a flamboyantly dressed, rotund middle-aged man, posing as an affluent official, stand up with a wine cup in hand.

He glanced around, cleared his throat and said to the crowd:

"Ladies and gentlemen! The third day of the third month is upon us, marking the birthday of the Holy Mother. We all come from various places in Taoyuan to attend this grand event.

Since we happen to be staying at the Dragon Gate Inn, it must be fate.

I propose that we all raise our glasses from afar in respect to the Holy Mother, to express our gratitude for this utopia she created for us. How about it?"

"Absolutely, we should all honor the Holy Mother!"

"My ancestors came here to escape calamity. Without this Paradise, my entire family would likely have perished. We should honor the Mother!"

"There’s no exploitation, no oppression here; this place is the Great Unity World. I hope that one day the Holy Mother can rule the Divine Land and bless the multitudes..."

Such tales are passed down among the elders of Taoyuan.

Throughout the ages, people from the coastal areas have taken boats out to sea to escape wars, gradually forming a paradise-like place on Dushuo Mountain in the East Sea.

You see, in a typical agrarian society, having enough food and clothing would never raise doubts about it being a golden era.

But here, not only is life abundant, with no shortage of food or clothing, essentials are distributed as needed, houses are available for occupation at will, doors are left unlocked at night, and there are no thieves...

There are also wise and virtuous leaders unanimously elected by everyone who respect and love each other, everyone has their role, the weak are supported, and the strong never bully the weak...

In terms of both material and spiritual aspects, it truly is the ideal Great Unity World!

Both young and old live in contentment.

Including initially, when Su Guyun paid for his meal, he used "meal tickets" issued by the government, not the silver coins from outside.

Furthermore, this is absolutely a "fair" world where it’s said that everyone’s current status is only temporary, not permanent.

Maybe today you are just an ordinary commoner, but "in the next life," you might become a great merchant, a wealthy gentleman, or a village elder, or an official.

Everyone has a chance to become the top dog!

Taoyuan is endlessly beautiful; everyone genuinely upholds this Great Unity World and does not allow anyone to disrupt it.

Although most people don’t know, the entire societal material foundation is actually just "Deceitful Heart" processed peaches.

At that moment, including Wang Yuan and Su Guyun, neither dared to be different. After nodding at each other in acknowledgement, they all stood up together, holding their glasses up in toast to the West King Holy Mother.

However.

Perhaps influenced by the fervent atmosphere and the scent of a large crowd of living people.

Ao—!

All of a sudden, a loud Dragon Roar, piercing as clashing gold or splitting rocks, echoed through the streets haunted by night creatures.

Apart from those True Spirit Unobscured "Breakers", ordinary people immersed in "Deceitful Heart" couldn’t hear this roar at all.

The next moment, a huge monster flashed into appearance at the inn’s doorway.

A terrifyingly ghastly aura, thick with the smell of blood, instantly dispersed through the air.

It was a horrific force of at least Yellow Seal peak level.

Using his peripheral vision, Wang Yuan saw that it appeared to be a monster comprised of a dragon, a bull, and some trees.

The pale dragon head looked like an old, mottled tree, with a pair of stone-like bull horns growing on its head, and six pitch-black pupils in its eyes, three on the left and three on the right, all rotating, forming a pattern of six paths.

The enormous bull body, the bloody-back hunchback, held nine ropes.

Each rope was strung with a string of bloody human heads.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Those nine strings of heads slithered through the inn like snakes, meeting eyes with everyone, staring intently at the expressions on each face.

Any mortal who could see it would likely be scared to death immediately.

Moreover, in Wang Yuan’s eyes, wherever the dragon head Deceit Monster stood, everything reverted to its truest form, even the background facade of Taoyuan Mysterious Realm would disappear.

It was as if he were in a green-screen movie world without special effects, where True Spirit Unobscured one could only rely on imagination.

Even the inn was covered with marks of having been scorched by fire, appearing like a dangerous building.

[Deceit Monster·Dragon Descendant]!

Just as Wang Yuan maintained an outward calm like an old dog, yet internally he was fervently praying for this creature to leave quickly,

he suddenly heard a piercing, playful laugh in his ear:

"You can see! Time to eat!"

As Wang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, he saw the official who initially raised his glass appear outwardly calm, but his hand holding the glass trembled violently like a sieve.

Wine spilled from the glass, leaving a puddle of liquid at his feet.

The next moment.

"I can’t see, I can’t see, ah—!"

In the blink of an eye, he was hung high up and became a member on the rope.

This was a classic case of trying to be smart but making a grave mistake; it was already remarkable for a mortal to continue living normally without showing any emotion,

yet he wanted to play a dangerous game and immediately paid with his life.

Simultaneously, a string of heads came close to Wang Yuan and Su Guyun, laughing playfully:

"Can you see?"
