"That's right!" Bi crammed sugar into her mouth, crossed her arms, and stood up straight with her petite body, "I was riding on his head, when he teleported away, I went along too."
Li Changzhou couldn't help but be curious, "Qian Xia told me that you've developed, your chest has started to—"
"Shut up!" Bi yelled out loud, hysterical like a child, her pretty little face turning red.
"What's there to be shy about?" The more she felt embarrassed, the more Li Changzhou wanted to talk, "When Qian Xia had her first time, she even wanted to pull down her pants and show me, asking me—"
"Ah!!! Shut up shut up shut up!" Li Qianxia was going crazy.
Li Qianxia's sibling affection towards her brother decreased by one, it would take at least a day to recover!
Li Changzhou looked towards Yang Qinglan.
Without waiting for him to speak, Yang Qinglan smiled with pursed lips, chiding, "Shut up."
Li Changzhou pouted as if to say 'if you don't play with me, I won't play with you either,' and pulled out the "Mystery Pointer" from his sleeve to continue reading.
Outside, snow fluttered down, and in the quaint courtyard of the Ming Dynasty, a bunch of beautiful women were chatting, eating candy, cracking melon seeds, peeling oranges, roasting venison, drinking alcohol, and eating hot pot.
Li Qianxia recounted Li Changzhou's embarrassing moments, most of which were actually her own, but coming from her mouth, he became the protagonist.
Li Changzhou nestled in a corner of the bed, looking isolated.
"When are we going to make a move?" Yang Qinglan offered him a cup of warm wine.
Li Changzhou smelled her subtle fragrance along with the warmth from the wine she had drunk.
He looked at Yang Qinglan and downed the wine in one gulp.
"After I finish this book," Li Changzhou handed the cup back to Yang Qinglan, "Another one."
Yang Qinglan smiled with pursed lips and took the cup.
"Here you go," Turquoise Pool passed a cup of wine over.
Li Qianxia and a few other female Players glanced over stealthily.
"I only drink Qing Lan's," Li Changzhou didn't accept it.
"It's not good to disrupt the morale before battle," Turquoise Pool pushed the cup of wine a bit closer.
Li Changzhou pushed the cup away, "Who's the one disrupting morale here?"
Turquoise Pool drank the wine herself, wiping her mouth carelessly with her sleeve, displaying a wild and disheveled beauty, an air of nonchalant elegance.
"Hmph, stinky men, always blaming women, you're just like King Zhou! He started the signal fires to fool lords, yet blames Baosi!"
"..."
Li Changzhou didn't quite understand the logic here. As a law-studying accountant, he only respected laws and numbers.
◇
After dinner and finishing "Mystery Pointer," Li Changzhou stepped out of the courtyard alone.
One foot on the ground, the other stepping on the void, as his left foot lifted, he turned into a streak of black light, shooting towards the sky like an arrow.
As soon as he flew up, he felt the gaze of someone watching.
'Where will they make their move?' Li Changzhou was eager to try.
He had read quite a bit about Daoist laws in the past few days. Most of them he couldn't cultivate with his current "Ability," but there were some insights and gains he was eager to try out.
With "Teleportation," with a "Divine Body," and in the worst-case scenario able to pull Jiajing over here and turn all cultivators into mere mortals, he had enough assurance.
The black light flew at an extremely fast Speed towards Bohai.
Inside the brothel, the Jade Flute scholar and the beautiful woman exchanged glances.
"Let's go!" Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch stood up, his left hand on his knee and his right hand grabbing the wine pot from the table.
Boom!
A bolt of thunderbolt sounded, and the room was filled with dazzling white light. The Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch had vanished.
He stood there, very young, but exuding an aura of dominance over the universe.
The wind above Bohai stirred his hair and wide sleeves, as if he had just descended from the Divine Realm, a Heavenly God.
"..." Her lips trembling, the beautiful woman could only utter the words "Heavenly Emperor."
The Jade Flute scholar remained silent, as did Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch. Both had calm expressions, with Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch still drinking, but all three knew they were in great danger, extreme danger!
Never mind taking action, each and every glance sent their way by Li Changzhou made them strongly want to dodge it!
Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch guzzled down another mouthful of wine, remembering the scene at Changbai Mountain three years ago.
Peaks gathered like an assembly, Heavenly Pool as clear as jade, amid the vast sea of snow. He himself had his Seven Beasts Saber taken by Li Changzhou and was scared into kneeling on the ground by a casual slash from him.
No one laughed at him.
That grandiose slash passed by him, cutting a notch out of Heavenly Pass Peak and Dragon Gate Peak, causing the lake water to flow down the notch, forming the 1250-meter-long Chengcha River.
In the three years since, he had not been able to do without wine and women. Once back to reality, that terrifying slash would strike at him again.
"With the autumn wind, the Longsword is so magnanimous: I do not stoop to the level of mere ants today!" Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch threw away the wine pot, hands on his belt, letting out a long and loud belch, "Li Changzhou! Today I will avenge the loss of the saber from that year!"
Li Changzhou glanced at him, "Who are you?"
"Hahahaha!" Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch burst into loud laughter.
Boom!
The sky nearly burst open with that thunderous roar.
Boom boom boom!
An endless cascade of lightning tumbled across the sky like a nest of electric snakes, ready to swarm out.
A gale was raging, causing giant waves to roll across Bohai; the sky turned dark, clouds gathered densely.
Amidst the thunder and Gale, the beautiful woman yelled, "Stop, wait—"
"I am Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch—so magnanimous!" Thunderbolt Heavenly Monarch leapt up and thundered into the Thunder Sea.
