Upon realizing that this guy could now freely see her face,
Liu Yanlan still hadn't fully gotten used to the gaze of that man.
"Don't look at me like that, like a pervert."
Liu Yanlan spat lightly, her cold voice always stirring up a desire for conquest in people, provoking a kind of impulse to make that voice shift from cold to gentle.
And how to achieve that change…? Hehehe.
"How can you say that to me, elder sister?"
When Liu Yanlan called him a pervert, Tang Yu appeared somewhat upset.
"Isn't it true that in cultivation, following the natural course and the desires of the heart is valued? Elder sister, you're so beautiful, I'm attracted to you, it's a bodily instinct, a desire of the soul, a pure and sincere liking."
"..."
Liu Yanlan even fell into thought: could it be that this guy progresses so quickly in cultivation because he really follows his heart too faithfully?
She thought carefully, and yes, this guy really did seem to do and say whatever he thought.
And besides, everything worked out for him.
Who the hell, in less than a year since starting cultivation, manages to eliminate the masters of the seven great sects?
"Could it be that I progress slowly in cultivation because my mental state isn't enough?"
She looked at him and asked seriously.
"You're lacking fusion, elder sister, that's really the problem, believe me."
Tang Yu stretched out both arms and began to do an electric hip dance, saying: "This disciple speaks from the heart, never lies. If after fusing you don't break through the level, you can kill me."
Seeing that guy shaking like crazy, Liu Yanlan couldn't stand it any longer and turned away, shouting at him:
"Even if you follow your heart, show some decency! With that attitude, how do you interact with the other cultivators?"
"Most of the ones who bother me, I just hit them directly."
Tang Yu smiled. Sometimes, he would come across those annoying cultivators outside, acting like little fairies while accompanied by dragged cultivators.
When he met them, he usually ignored them.
But if they directly provoked him, he'd give them a fatal slap.
"And the minority?"
"There is no minority."
Tang Yu didn't dare to mention some of the dirty things he had done.
For example, using Lin Xuan's face, he had slept with one of the future protagonists of this novel, Li Susu, ahead of time.
According to his network of information, after being forced by him, that woman was now searching for Lin Xuan everywhere.
Probably, when they meet, Lin Xuan will be burdened with another big mess because of him.
"I see."
Liu Yanlan responded with an "oh" and said no more.
"Elder sister, breaking through the level is really important. If the patriarch is gone and the sect has no one in the Integration realm, that would be terrible."
Tang Yu approached and seriously embraced Liu Yanlan's shoulder.
At that moment, Nangong Wuxin, who was in closed-door retreat, suddenly sneezed and almost interrupted her meditation to go clean the house.
"Out, out, out!"
Liu Yanlan, with her face slightly flushed, changed the subject, saying: "This time, I'm appointing you as the sect's vice-leader mainly for you to participate in a meeting. At that time, you will also be assigned an important task."
"Elder sister..."
Tang Yu sighed deeply: "You always give me the troublesome jobs, you treat me like a beast of burden. But have you heard a saying?"
"What saying?"
"If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass."
Liu Yanlan clenched her fist, already preparing a spell in her hand.
"Serving the sect is my duty. With greater power comes greater responsibility. Sister, let's talk about the serious matter."
Knowing she was of a shy character, Tang Yu quickly changed the subject.
Yes, those who run too much often stumble.
It's better to start by targeting sister Nangong, she's more innocent and easier to persuade.
"In a few days, there will be a meeting of the seven sects. Each one must send the sect leader and a vice-leader, and representatives from other forces will also attend. This time, the meeting will be at the Sect of the Thousand Laws. In addition to discussing clan matters, they will also talk about how many people each sect will send to the Sea of Shadows."
"Sea of Shadows? What's that?"
Although he had been in this area for a while, Tang Yu wasn't very interested in what was happening outside the southern part of the Nine Heavens Continent. Most of the time, he was focused on making money, cultivating, and competing with Fang Meiyun.
As for Lin Xuan, Tang Yu had tasked Wolong and Fengchu with keeping a special watch on him.
"It's the southernmost maritime zone of the Nine Heavens Continent. There are a lot of sea monsters in that area. If it weren't for the Litang Mountain Range in the south blocking them, the entire south would probably be in chaos…"
Liu Yanlan explained in detail.
After hearing the explanation, Tang Yu nodded and said: "So, there's a sea monster attack, and the seven sects and other forces have to send reinforcements?"
"Exactly, the sea monster attacks occur every three hundred years. With just the Litang family's strength, it's very difficult to resist them."
Liu Yanlan sighed: "Except for the Litang family, no other family or sect can protect the Litang Mountain Range on its own."
"So, we have to go, it's about our own interests. Plus, it serves as real practice for the disciples. The disciples of the sects have good training, but in a real fight, they might not outperform wild cultivators of the same level."
Tang Yu nodded. After traveling a bit and dealing with several cultivators, he knew well that those wild cultivators, used to intrigues and fighting to survive, were much more cunning than sect disciples.
"That's why we'll go together to that meeting. That way, the other sects can see your level, so they won't have any strange ideas."
Liu Yanlan's face showed a bit of pride.
This younger brother of hers was undoubtedly an unmatched talent, the true pillar of the sect's revival.
"Understood."
Tang Yu smiled as he reached out to surprise Liu Yanlan with an attack.
Liu Yanlan's body disappeared instantly, not giving him any chance.
Unable to bother her,
Tang Yu went to look for Nangong Ying, but she wasn't in the tower either.
With nothing better to do, Tang Yu decided to start making a nun's habit.
After the great success of the previous models, the profits were starting to decrease, and there were more and more similar products on the market.
Luckily, his knowledge in this area was inexhaustible, so from time to time he would release a new product.
After spending half a day designing the nun's habit,
Tang Yu held it in his hands and examined it carefully: the material and everything else were perfect, and the size would automatically adjust to the body.
"The nun's habit with white stockings, perfect."
After praising it, Tang Yu went to look for Nangong Ying again, but she still hadn't appeared, not even at the Hehuan Sect.
He went to look for Liu Yanlan, but she didn't receive him either. This left Tang Yu very frustrated, so he decided to put the outfit away.
Two days passed.
Nangong Ying still hadn't appeared, and Tang Mao had also disappeared. No one knew where that human and fox duo had gone.
As the time for the meeting approached, Liu Yanlan transmitted a message from the mountain entrance: "It's time to leave."
"Okay."
Tang Yu took out his beloved compass, hopped on it, and instantly flew alongside Liu Yanlan. "Big sister, get on, I'll take you flying."
"..."
Liu Yanlan, with a displeased expression, took out a palm-sized magic boat. Upon throwing it, it regained its original form. She stood on top and steered it directly.
Tang Yu laughed and jumped aboard, putting the treasure away while saying:
"In this meeting, we won't see Fang Meiyun, right, sister? You must be quite relieved."
"Indeed, it was satisfying."
Liu Yanlan smiled faintly. "That old crazy bitch was not only annoying but also stupid. In less than half a year, she left the Sect of Maidens in a mess. I'm sure with her death this time, many people there are quite happy."
"Big sister, shall we restore our relationship with the Sect of Maidens?"
Tang Yu smiled and suggested, "Fighting and killing leads nowhere, better to make money together. Harmony brings fortune, right?"
"I'm sure you were interested in the fairies of the Sect of Maidens, weren't you?"
Liu Yanlan gave him a reproachful glance. "That kind of thing is for you to decide. As long as it benefits the sect, I support you."
"Big sister, you're so wise!"
Tang Yu praised her and placed his dog paw on Liu Yanlan's shoulder. "You've been carrying those two big burdens every day, your shoulders must hurt. Let me give you a massage... on your shoulders."
"A shoulder massage is fine. If you touch anything else, I'll kill you."
Liu Yanlan settled into a chair she dragged over and allowed this flatterer to massage her.
When they arrived at the family of the Ten Thousand Laws, representatives from the other sects were already there.
The current patriarch of the family of the Ten Thousand Laws, Chen Ziyun, was an old Taoist dressed in a purple robe.
As his name suggested, the family of the Ten Thousand Laws specialized in all kinds of mystical arts, and its leader, Chen Ziyun, was a master of lightning, with his technique "The Five Correct Rays" being famous across the continent.
Seeing Liu Yanlan and Tang Yu arrive, Chen Ziyun waved his cow-tail whisk and smiled:
"Patriarch Liu has arrived! Sorry for not coming out to welcome you. Is this young man Daoist Tang Yu?"
"He's my younger brother. He's now the vice-leader, so I brought him to this meeting."
Liu Yanlan nodded and introduced Tang Yu to Chen Ziyun.
The Hehuan Sect and the family of the Ten Thousand Laws had a solid relationship, and their dealings were acceptable.
After some polite exchanges, Liu Yanlan led Tang Yu to a large square.
In the center of the square was a huge round jade table, filled with spiritual fruits and other delicacies.
The seven major sects, the second-tier sects, and the major families sat around the table.
Once seated, Tang Yu quickly scanned the room and soon recognized two familiar faces.
Ning Qingyan and Amber.
Amber, being the leader of the Treasure Tower, her presence was normal.
The fact that Ning Qingyan was also there confirmed that, after breaking her internal barrier last time, she had indeed entered the core of the Sect of Maidens' power and was not far from becoming the leader.
And indeed, it was more or less as Tang Yu had suspected.
After her breakthrough, Ning Qingyan had visited all the supreme elders and other elders of the clan.
She then spoke with disciples from both factions and finally went to the clan's ancestral elder, proposing some ideas.
The ancestral elder greatly liked her development and internal reconciliation philosophy.
After so many disasters in the past six months, she didn't want to see the Sect continue to decline.
Thus, she had assigned her the vice-leader position. It was clear that if she reached the Divine Transformation realm, the leader position would be hers.
Amber had also not seen Tang Yu for a while.
Noticing his gaze, she gave him a flirtatious smile.
That gesture made many male cultivators at the table green with envy.
When it came to beauty, Ning Qingyan, Amber, and Liu Yanlan were undoubtedly absolute beauties.
And since Liu Yanlan and Amber were leaders of their respective sects, they also had immense power.
But if they had to choose, most cultivators present would undoubtedly choose Amber.
After all, being a beautiful leader... Amber... was much, much, much richer.
On the Nine Heavens Continent, many sword cultivators often said that women affected the speed of their sword.
But there was a second part they never mentioned:
"A rich woman can give you an even sharper sword!"
At Amber's blatant flirtation, Tang Yu lowered his head, doing his best not to laugh. After all, Sister Ning and Liu Yanlan were right next to him.
"You look so pleased with yourself!"
Liu Yanlan didn't seem bothered by such trivial matters. In cultivation, strength was respected; what did it matter if one had many wives and concubines?
Tang Yu lowered his head, drank his tea, and pretended ignorance. He could already feel all eyes on him. He was accumulating quite a bit of envy.
"With talent, money, and charisma… being at the top is also lonely."
He couldn't help but reflect like that in his mind.
"Since all the Daoist comrades are here, let's begin the meeting."
As the host of the event, the patriarch of the family of the Ten Thousand Laws, Chen Ziyun, approached with a young cultivator by his side and introduced him:
"Let me introduce the current patriarch of the Litang family, Wang Yuan, who joins us as a representative."
Upon hearing that he was the new patriarch of the powerful Litang Clan, everyone looked at him curiously.
So young and already in charge of such a large family?
Together with Ning Qingyan and Tang Yu at this meeting, many cultivators couldn't help but think: The new generation is pushing the old one hard.
"Daoist comrades, it's a pleasure to meet you. The Litang family doesn't have much, but we humbly offer a cigarette."
Patriarch Wang Yuan smiled and took out boxes of black sandalwood from his storage ring.
These boxes, upon falling in front of the attendees, opened on their own, revealing a pipe and a small bag of aromatic tobacco.
"So it's a typical product of the Litang family! I've heard of it, but never managed to get it."
"Thank you, Patriarch Wang, we accept it gladly."
"How generous of Patriarch Wang! We, from the Wu Feng family, cannot fall behind. This time, we will send ten cultivators of the Divine Transformation realm to assist the Litang Clan against the demons."
Everyone was delighted with the gifts. The pipes were treasures in themselves.
And that tobacco needed to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon for a century, being an extremely delicate cultivation item.
This object calmed the soul, dispelled internal demons, and purified the body, something very hard to obtain outside the clan due to its low production.
After the greetings, Patriarch Wang Yuan's generosity left a good impression on everyone.
"Now, let's formally begin the meeting. Regarding the assistance to the Litang family, how many members will each sect send? The family of the Ten Thousand Laws will send eight cultivators of the Divine Transformation realm, led by my younger brother, thirty from the Soul Nurturing realm, and eighty from the Golden Core realm."
"The Wu Feng family will send ten from the Divine Transformation realm, forty-five from the Soul Nurturing realm..."
"The Treasure Tower..."
Each family and sect expressed their commitment. The Hehuan sect would also send eight cultivators of the Divine Transformation realm, led by Tang Yu.
Among the seven great sects, the one contributing the least was the Sect of Maidens.
They could only send six cultivators of the Divine Transformation realm, which was understandable given that Fang Meiyun had greatly damaged the sect.
No one commented on this.
The second-tier families and important families also mobilized their forces to help the Litang family.
Beyond the demon threat, what really motivated them was the opportunity to train disciples and obtain treasures.
The bodies of demons were very valuable materials for forging artifacts.
A Divine Transformation level demon body could be sold for an astronomical price!
Once the force lists were organized, the patriarch of the Litang Clan, Wang Yuan, stood up and cupped his fists:
"Thank you all for supporting our Litang family. In this great war, we will win!"
Everyone stood and returned the salute.
