Chapter 540: Ye Shuanghan, Killing the Wife to Prove the Dao
“Burp.”
Qin Yun let out a burp, the corner of his lips twitching, indicating that he’s already had his fill of that sickly sight in front of him.
The others were not much better, on the surface, they seemed to be immersed in their own world, licking their own rooms.
In truth, their hearts were hurting, sustaining many internal injuries.
‘That’s enough!’
‘Do you need to do that?’
‘It’s just a sleeve, we are the ones who were actually injured!’
‘Don’t you see the blood coming out of my mouth? Don’t you see my burnt flesh?’
‘Boohoo… It’s fine if you don’t console us, you’re even rubbing it in our faces.’
‘My heart is broken, life is not worth living anymore.’
‘Can you do anything you want just because you’re the Deluxe Merit Saint? I’m really looking down on you in my heart!’
On the other side, Zhou Yunwu and the others were slowly waking up.
He broke out in cold sweat when he heard of the situation, and felt an intense horror.
In his dreams, Zhou Yunwu had managed Xia Kingdom very well, and it prospered greatly. He lived until he was eighty five, and had been lying on his deathbed, quietly waiting for the end of his life.
If he died in his dreams, then he would naturally die in real life.
It really was something that could not have been expected.
Zhou Yunwu and the other officials walked over, sincerely saying, “Thank you for all your help, everyone. The Xia Kingdom is eternally grateful. Please stay for a few days and allow me to show you my hospitality.”
Qin Chuyue did not hold back, smiling as she said, “sure, please prepare some good food and drinks. Oh, and don’t skimp on the reward money.”
“Fairy, don’t worry, I’ll do it.”
Zhou Yunwu smiled and nodded before looking at Li Nianfan, respectfully bowing before he sighed, “It’s all due to my lack of willpower, resulting in me being trapped in the Nightmare. I even forced you to take action, I’m so ashamed.”
Li Nianfan raised his hand, casually saying, “It’s fine, it only happened because you cared too much about the Xia Kingdom and worked too hard. You should take care of your fatigue in the future and sleep well. After all, you’re carrying the weight of millions of humans, your health is the most important thing.”
“I will take your teachings to heart.” Zhou Yunwu bowed again. He could not help but remark in his heart, the expert was always the expert, just his casual words were enough to send one deep into thought, warming up one’s heart.
Zhou Yunwu bid everyone farewell before hurrying off to deal with the Xia Kingdom’s problems.
After being unconscious for so long, many problems accumulated. In order to settle the populace down, he would naturally be very busy.
Li Nianfan and the others instead had a much better time. They naturally enjoyed the treatment by the Xia Kingdom. The scope did not need to be explained, sumptuous banquets, song and dance, lakes of wine and meat.
With Zhou Yunwu’s awakening and many officials recovering, the Xia Kingdom slowly stabilized from their frantic state.
The night slowly fell.
Those who had not dared to venture out due to the unrest had started to appear on the familiar streets. The houses started to be lit up, and the night market once once again returned to its bustling state.
Furthermore, since they had just survived a crisis, everyone was naturally more emotional. Commoners could be seen happily singing and playing around, making for a bustling sight.
It had naturally been encouraged by the king.
After all, it was rare that the expert was there. If they did not celebrate it wildly, then he would be a failure of a king, and would be cast aside by the expert.
Li Nianfan and the others were actually browsing the streets. After all, they were here on vacation. They might have experienced quite a bit on the way, but it was nowhere near as bustling and prosperous as the main city of the Xia Kingdom. Furthermore, they were in a hurry before, and never had the chance to calmly shop around.
They naturally took the chance to relax and enjoy their lives.
It had been completely quiet during the day, but the main gates had been opened now, and carriages entered and exited.
A group of enchanting girls with smiles on their faces enthusiastically called out to the passersby, and many of the men naturally paid a lot of attention to them. Danger had just passed, so they were impatient to get their business going again.
Rain after a long drought was always welcomed.
Looking at the scene, Qin Yun’s face brightened as he walked over with a proud smile, emotional tears in his eyes, “Little sisters, come here quick. It’s me, I allowed you to work again! No need to thank me.”
In an instant, the little ladies from both in and out of the building looked over before they passionately ran over, even the old ladies made a move.
“Really, is that true? Then you really are a hero.”
Qin Yun said proudly, “Would I lie? It’s me… us, who woke King Zhou up.”
“Then you warriors must be incredibly strong.”
Thanks to Daji, Li Nianfan easily pulled himself away from the crowd, and looked at the sight.
Minghui and the monks were a step slow, and had been surrounded, they were ven incredibly welcomed.
“Masters, I remember a monk also came here last year. He would come to our door every day, claiming he wanted to train his heart. His bald head was too nice to touch. Could you let me touch your head as well?”
“Master, don’t be shy, I have a skill that will send you straight to a sagely state. Under that state, you’ll definitely be able to comprehend the Dharma better.”
Minghui and the others could not even speak, and their heads broke out in cold sweat as they chanted Buddhist scriptures.
“Minghui, you monks are too boring.”
Qin Yun had one girl in each hand, turning into a life instructor, “I’ve been enlightened by the Dao of Emotion. Brothers might help you once in the world, but… those who would be willing to constantly help you are these ladies.”
Mingli’s eyebrows furrowed, “Qin Yun, your words are incomprehensible! These women have no sense of cultivation, how could they help me?”
Qin Yun suddenly laughed, “Then who do you think would help?”
“Asking of yourself is better than asking of others, I naturally would choose to help myself!”
“Then which hand would you use?”
“Why would I need to choose, aren’t both hands better?”
On the side, Daji furrowed her eyebrows as she looked on, leaning against Li Nianfan as she said curiously, “Sir, what are they saying? I feel they’re talking about something, but yet they aren’t,m I don’t understand.”
Li Nianfan coughed lightly, saying, “This is called a cross-server chat. It’s not convenient here, I’ll tell you in detail when we get back.”
Qin Yun’s voice could suddenly be heard, “Mr Li, please tell my sister later than I need to discuss the Dao of Emotion in great detail tonight, so I won’t be going back.”
“Okay.”
As for Minghui and the other monks, they had chosen an empty spot and fled the circle, it was like they had let a heavy burden go.
…
The night was even heavy.
In a cave not far away from the Xia Kingdom’s central city.
A shrivelled old man had a green daoist robe on, his half-white hair fell as he closed his eyes, sitting cross-legged.
He had both his hands in front, holding a bug that looked similar to a caterpillar. However, the bug’s body was snow-white, and it only had one mouth on its face that was filled with teeth, making for a hideous sight.
Waves of golden energy flowed in like water, slowing coursing in and entering the mouth of the bug.
Very quickly, the golden energy no longer appeared, suddenly stopping.
The old man opened his eyes suddenly, his eyebrows furrowing, “The Luck has stopped flowing?”
He hurriedly raised his hand and calculated, and his expression sank, “Yan Zu that piece of trash, his Nightmare was actually broken! I was only a sliver away, it affected my grand plan!”
He stood up, looking toward the Xia Kingdom as his eyes twinkled.
Based on his calculations, Zhou Yunwu should not have lived past that night. At that moment, the Xia Kingdom’s luck would burst out like a broken dam, and he would be able to have his fill, sucking in all the Luck!
Yet, he did not even get a sliver of that gigantic feast he had been hoping for. That failure caused his to go furious.
Yet, at that moment, his expression shifted as he kept the bug in his hand, looking coldly at a direction.
There, a green robed, middle-aged man dressed like a scribe slowly floated over.
The man looked at the old man, his eyes like a clear pool, unmoving and unemotional, yet there was a profound deepness to it. The man clenched his teeth, “I felt a disgusting energy from far away, it really is you, Junior Tian Yu!”
“Ah, Senior Shi Ye, are you well?”
Tian Yu smiled saying, “Ah, I almost forgot, the two most talented disciples in the history of the Empath Sect have been crippled, I guess you haven’t been well.”
The aura around Shi Ye quickly rose and he coldly declared, “Since you’re here, the Human Sovereign falling asleep must have something to do with you, what are you planning on doing?”
After that, his eyes closed, his killing intent undisguised.
“Oh, from this aura, I don’t think your skill has improved at all in this hundred years, senior, in fact, it’s regressed by quite a bit!”
Tian Yu let out a mocking smile, shaking his head and saying, “I told you early on, emotion is just a burden. The first person you will harm is yourself. Forgetting about emotion is the true Dao. Reality proves that I am right!”
“It’s still enough to suppress you!”
Shi Ye’s eyes turned serious as he raised his hand, a yellow flame shooting out. It was like a dragon’s attack, and immediately enveloped the whole cave.
The flames were intense, and were incredibly horrifying, yet they did not seem to damage the surroundings at all.
“Godly Fire of Seven Emotions?”
Tian Yu looked at the flames, not dodging or avoiding it as he stood still calmly.
The next moment, a huge black sword appeared behind him, slicing through the air and completely extinguishing the flames in a flash.
The sword aura contained the power of mana, and surprised the flames completely.
A slight footstep was heard coming out from the cave.
It was a young man with a cold face holding a large sword on his back.
His eyes were large, and the darkness glinted. It should have been incredibly pretty, but it had been filled with coldness and emotionlessness.
It did not look like the eyes of a human, but a killing machine, it caused one to shiver just looking at it.
Shi Ye’s pupils shrunk, he felt more emotional looking at that young man than the old man, his fists clenched as he said, “Ye Shuanghan! How is that possible?!”
“Senior, you’ve been trapped by your emotions, and your cultivation is constantly deteriorating. You no longer have the right to face me, so you can only fight my disciple.
Tian Yu smiled lightly, continuing, “You don’t have to be surprised, he’s swallowed up Qin Chuyue’s Emotional Seed completely. Killing his wife to prove his Dao, he devoured my Loveless Dao completely. His skills obviously soared!”
On the other side, Ye Shuanghan said emotionlessly and coldly, “No women in my heart, my sword is naturally godly!”
