Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The 100,800 Volt Light Bulb [Seeking Recommendation Tickets!]

"Cough cough, it’s just that I was a little too slow." Zhou Yuzhi said with a smile.

"Hmph, as if I don’t know what you two are plotting. If I were half a step late, I would not escape a beating." Chen Hua snorted coldly, casting a sideways glance at the embarrassed Zhou Yuzhi and Fang Zhi.

"Ask anyone present who doesn’t want to beat you up." Emperor Zhou thought to himself while staring at Chen Hua.

"The general situation is this, let’s all share our guesses. After all, the severed Immortal Path could not possibly be renewed without reason."

"Given that Benefactor Chen now possesses the highest realm, perhaps Benefactor Chen should speak first." The abbot of the Zen Sect, seated on the Lotus Platform, said with lowered eyes, a suggestion met with nods of agreement from the rest in attendance.

"Hey, you bald old monk! But indeed if you want me to make a guess, I actually do have one." Chen Hua’s demeanor became serious. "I suspect the Heavenly Dao is gradually beginning to restore itself!"

"Everyone knows how the Immortal Path was severed in the first place. Now that it’s being renewed, the reason is naturally the same."

Fang Zhi and the Sect Leader of Senluo Wanxiang Sect, Wan Wan, lowered their heads in contemplation as their fingers continuously moved, seemingly making some calculations. The Sect Leader of Blood Control Sect snorted disdainfully. Zhou Yuzhi closed his eyes, as if resting, while the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits raised a paw and scratched his cheek, showing no reaction.

Emperor Zhou’s gaze was calm, fixed unwaveringly on Chen Hua; he felt that Chen Hua spoke the truth, yet somehow it was not the whole truth.

"Amitabha, actually there is one more thing that I must inform everyone about."

The usually downcast abbot now lifted his head, his expression grave.

"Half a year ago, there was a violent disturbance in the Abyss!"

·······

"Brother Lv, Brother Ke and the others have awakened!" a disciple said in a low voice as he approached Lv Hongguang.

Hearing this news, Lv Hongguang lifted his head to glance at Yu Gejing, noticing she was already standing up and heading downstairs.

"Let’s go, we should head over there too." Liang Yi took his junior sister’s hand, ready to check on their Senior Brother He.

But the next second, Liang Yi halted in his tracks; he noticed that his junior sister seemed a bit downcast.

After pondering for a moment, Liang Yi guessed the reason: lately, they had been running around and spending time with Senior Brother He and the others, and his junior sister must feel that they had no chance for some alone time, probably feeling somewhat unhappy about it.

This kind of situation is quite normal for girls, especially since his junior sister is only sixteen and had just gotten the rare opportunity to spend time alone with someone she likes. Even if they are accompanied by good friends, it can’t eliminate the suspicion of being a third wheel.

Who would want a third wheel around while on a date?

After a brief consideration, Liang Yi changed direction and remembered something he saw by the window during the day; he then led his junior sister toward the window.

It was just about time, he reckoned.

"Senior Brother, are we not going to check on Brother He?" Su Youyi looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Why would we do that? To watch him perform a scene of a handsome man bathing? Wouldn’t you rather look at me instead? I’m much more handsome than Senior Brother He, right?" Liang Yi said with a teasing smile.

"Senior Brother~" Su Youyi cooed with feigned annoyance. What nonsense about a picture of a handsome man bathing; just having her senior brother beside her was enough to set her heart aflutter.

"Come, let me show you something beautiful!"

This floor was very high above the ground, with a view through the window that overlooked the distant scenery.

They had been waiting since noon, stubbornly through until the evening as He Zhiqing and Ke Mengzhan recovered.

"Look, down there!"

Liang Yi leaned against the window side, smiling at his junior sister as he pointed with his thumb out the window.

Su Youyi didn’t understand what medicine her senior brother was selling in his gourd but was still curious. She leaned over the window to look in the direction he pointed,

"Wow! It’s so beautiful!"

Su Youyi by the window, her hair stirred by the evening breeze, her eyes revealing a twinkling brightness that reflected the candlelight on the lake and the lights of Qingliang City.

Below, countless lotus-shaped river lanterns floated on the water, flickering with orange-yellow candlelight. From Su Youyi’s high vantage point, there were moments when she couldn’t tell if she was gazing up at the stars or down at the lanterns on the river.

Looking upwards, the misty beauty of the red curtains of the brothel, drifting in the wind, intoxicated the senses. The distant nighttime beauty further away was clearly visible, adding a touch of festivity to the moonlit spectacle nearby, with every light seen telling a story.

"Lights from ten thousand homes encircle the city, the Star River runs through the center of the water," recited Liang Yi softly.

"Is it beautiful?"

Su Youyi drew back her head and turned to wrap her arms around Liang Yi’s waist, resting her forehead against his chest. Liang Yi wasn’t sure how excited his junior sister was at the moment, but he could faintly feel her intense heartbeat.

"Senior brother, it’s really so beautiful! I’ve never seen anything like it before!" Su Youyi spent her early years wandering as a vagabond with Liang Yi. Later, she was taken in by their master and spent ten years as a disciple on Youdao Mountain.

No matter how beautiful the natural scenery of the mountain, how could it compare to the moment, with the lights of ten thousand homes reflected in her eyes, and the object of her affection by her side?

"Senior brother~" Su Youyi’s voice trembled as she mustered the courage to look up at Liang Yi, her eyes welling up with spring water, radiating a charm that alarmed and excited Liang Yi.

Su Youyi’s suppressed emotions for so many years were fully unleashed!

If the countless players and natives killed by the arch-demon in their past life saw Su Youyi’s expression, they would probably all be dumbfounded, their jaws dropping to the floor without notice.

"Gulp." Liang Yi’s Adam’s apple moved up and down; suddenly he felt a heat throughout his body.

Right now, he felt as if his junior sister’s eyes held a mysterious power, gripping his gaze. Her lightly flushed eyes were like two flames, scorching his reason.

Outside the window, the lights of the flower market shone like daylight, inside the room, people were promised the dusk.

Feelings stirred in a split second. By the time Liang Yi came to his senses, their faces were extremely close, with the junior sister’s eyes already closed.

She had a strange milk scent about her.

"Could this be her natural body fragrance? It smells so good." Liang Yi’s somewhat groggy mind thought unconsciously.

From the perspective of the compulsory education Liang Yi had received, at sixteen, Su Youyi speaking of love was still too early. But seeing how forward girls were nowadays, if he were to refuse again, wouldn’t he be less of a man?

Just as Liang Yi was bracing himself to lean in for a kiss, a discordant voice came from the distant staircase.

"This time it’s a draw, but next time you’re sure to lose!"

"Heh."

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Hearing people from downstairs coming up, Liang Yi and Su Youyi’s somewhat drowsy minds instantly sobered up.

Su Youyi extricated herself from her senior brother’s embrace and hurried to the window, fanning herself frantically in hopes that the autumn night breeze would cool her flushed cheeks.

But thinking about her bold actions just moments ago, Su Youyi felt the burning sensation on her face grow even more intense.

Liang Yi wasn’t doing much better, but his mental fortitude was enough to forcibly calm himself and pretend as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the beautiful silhouette continuously fanning by the windowsill, Liang Yi touched his nose.

What a mess...

"Eh, Liang brother, what are you doing by the window?" He Zhiqing, reaching the upstairs, saw the two of them immediately.

"Heh." Liang Yi’s smile was through gritted teeth, exceedingly forced.

Feelings wouldn’t change, but such a delicate atmosphere was hard to come by! Now that it had been disrupted, who knew how long it would be until next time – at that moment, he felt the urge to kill.
