Chapter 225 - 225: Dare Not Be Reasonable (3)
Shen Ping naturally understood this principle. If he did not have the talent of a strange beast that allowed him to clearly see the patterns of the huge creature’s scales, and did not have the advantage of a puppet great divine power, he would definitely not have such thoughts.
However, he could not tell Pei Huoyu this, so he could only laugh dryly. “Don’t worry, Perfected Pei. I won’t waste my Talisman Dao talent.”
Pei Huoyu’s frown deepened. She could tell from Shen Ping’s words that he had not given up on the idea. After being with him for so long, she knew this Talisman Master’s personality quite well. Once he made a decision on certain matters, he would not be easily affected.
Moreover, he was now the leader of the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Such a genius was very confident in his bones. He would not change his mind at all. However, cultivating puppets at the same time was undoubtedly a waste of time. After all, any of the skill scrolls in the True Treasure Pavilion had unfathomable power. It was enough to focus on one.
However, Pei Huoyu did not know how to persuade him. After all, she had never succeeded in persuading him about anything else. What should she do? She looked at Shen Ping who was about to turn around and leave. She bit the corner of her lips and wondered if she should reason with him.
However, as soon as this thought appeared, she suppressed it. What her senior brother had said about taking the overall situation into consideration was still lingering in her mind. If she was really reasonable, not to mention her senior brother, even her master would probably come personally.
“It’s so difficult to be a guardian!” Pei Huoyu sighed in her heart. Then, she suddenly thought of a solution. Her face immediately revealed a conflicted and hesitant expression, and her earlobes quietly turned red. She knew that it was a path of no return.
But… for the greater good!
Phew.
Ha.
She took a deep breath. Just as Shen Ping was about to cross the room, Pei Huoyu called out to him, “Fellow Daoist Shen.” Shen Ping turned around. “If, I mean if… Fellow Daoist Shen can rush to the top ten of the Glory Ranking before the review and assessment, 1 can agree to any of your requests!”
A calm and trembling voice sounded. However, the last sentence was powerful. It echoed in the room for a long time.
Shen Ping was stunned. He stared at Perfected Pei’s valiant face in a daze. He did not expect her to say such a thing.
Although they had agreed to remove her armor previously, the difference between removing her armor and any requirements was like the difference between heaven and earth. Shen Ping, who had read the detailed explanation of the Views of the Gateway many times, knew very well that Pei Huoyu would not let anyone enter easily.
She did not care about her physical body. However, the door was a window to the soul that led straight to the depths of the intoxicating soul. Although their relationship had improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days, Shen Ping knew that he was still far from opening the door.
But at this moment, he saw hope. Shen Ping still smiled and said, “Is what Perfected Pei said true?”
“Of course it’s true.”
“Any requests… including exploring the interior of the Golden Core?”
Pei Huoyu stood up and walked up to Shen Ping. She stared straight into her eyes, which seemed to see through everything, and said word byword, “I’ve said that you can ask for anything! Fellow Daoist Shen, I’m not encouraging you with these words. 1 just want you to go further and be more stable. Whether you can reach it will depend on your own choice!”
Hearing this, Shen Ping came to a realization. It turned out that Pei Huoyu was worried that he would cultivate puppets. This thought was really commendable. Although he really wanted to step into Perfected Pei’s door, using the other party’s care to achieve his goal was not what Shen Ping wanted. “Perfected Pei…”
Just as he opened his mouth, Pei Huoyu’s light armor dress pressed down on him. A voice sounded in his ears again. “Fellow Daoist Shen, this is something I said willingly. No matter what the outcome is, I won’t regret it at all. Therefore, be it for your wife, concubine, or Dao companion, or for any request, I hope you can do your best.”
When he came back to his senses, the light hug had already left and she sat back on the cushion. Shen Ping glanced at the curves of the light armor dress and cupped his hands seriously. “I will definitely do my best!”
The moment the door closed, Pei Huoyu’s face flushed red as she gritted her teeth and muttered, “Senior Brother, I’m really talcing the big picture into consideration this time!”
The moment the True Treasure Pavilion’s flying ship crossed the border of the Wei Kingdom, its speed immediately slowed down. Shen Ping, who was wearing a plain brocade robe, brought his wife and Dao companions to the edge of the railing at the front deck and looked down at the familiar yet unfamiliar landscape.
“This is the Wei Kingdom.” Shen Ping could not help but sigh. With his current methods and status, if he encountered another battle between the righteous and demonic paths, he would not leave in a sorry state like before.
Bai Yuying’s delicate face was filled with joy. She pointed at a bustling city in the distance and said excitedly, “That’s Qu City in Luo Province. When I was young, my parents brought me and my brother to live in this mortal city for a period of time. That’s great. This place is still here.”
Wang Yun asked curiously, “Sister Ying’er has lived in a mortal city before?”
Bai Yuying nodded repeatedly. “My parents are rogue cultivators. Their cultivation realms are not high, so it’s better for them to live in a mortal country. However, ever since it was found that my brother and I have spiritual roots, my parents left the mortal country and went to the market to accumulate cultivation resources. Later, they heard that Cloud Mountain Parlour recruited rogue cultivators to explore the land and received generous treatment, so they went with a few of their good friends.”
Towards the end, Bai Yuying’s expression darkened..
