“Disciple, what’s wrong? Why are you stopping me?”


  They were in Qi Yuan’s straw hut beside the Little Qiong Peak.

  As soon as Qi Yuan opened his eyes during his cultivation, a paper effigy emerged from his sleeve and transformed into him. He raised his hand and pointed, causing his entire body to be enveloped by light.

  Qi Yuan…… was immediately immobilized.

  Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Master, there’s no time to say anything. Sit down first. Grandmaster is on the way to bring that fox demon over!

  Well, I still have to ask, do you…… have any thoughts about the fox demon?”


  In Qi Yuan’s old eyes, there was a look of shock and confusion. He looked at Li Changshou and did not know what to say.

  “Changshou, what’s going on?”


  Li Changshou sighed softly. He quickly tapped his hands on his master’s body and explained.

  To put it simply, it was because he had used his master’s image with his master’s permission, to provoke a beautiful demon fox which he could not just kill while saying “Slaying the demon with immortal power!”.……

  Beautiful fox demon.

  Qi Yuan pondered for a while and seemed to have understood something. He said emotionally, “Changshou, if you really can’t do it, I’ll help you!”


  “Master, don’t worry.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I have a way to sever her thoughts!”


  Li Changshou paused and said in a low voice, “Master, do you want to take a look at this demoness?”


  “Why should I look at her!?!”


  Qi Yuan glared and said anxiously, “Don’t spout nonsense! What if someone hears you?

  I don’t want my clean reputation to be destroyed today!”


  “Alright, I’m relieved.” Li Changshou took two steps back and bowed to his master. “Master, stay in this straw hut later. You must not go out. Let me deal with everything!”


  “Go, go, ah!” He sighed.

  Qi Yuan waved his hand. “I really don’t know how capable you are now. What are you doing outside every day?”


  Li Changshou smiled and condensed a water mirror. He looked at his paper effigy.

  His face was not considered strange, but his eyes were bright and energetic. His silver hair was also quite energetic-looking. He looked exactly the same as he did after Jiu Yushi had arrived in the sect.

  Then, Li Changshou borrowed his master’s horsetail whisk and fused the aura on it with the paper effigy. After carefully checking it twice, he opened the door and carried the horsetail whisk out of the straw hut.

  Qi Yuan, who was sitting on the meditation cushion, pondered for a while. Then, he saw the door close on its own. Layers of array formations were activated……

  He was protected by his disciple.

  Qi Yuan casually pointed at the water mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. Immediately, he saw the face…… of an unfamiliar-looking and beautiful woman……

  Her vision turned black and he almost fainted from anger.

  On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou’s ‘Human’ paper effigy walked to the side of the lake. He stood quietly under the willow tree and looked at the figures flying towards the sect.

  Although only the demoness from the demon clan was there, how could the immortals in the sect be that careless?

  We’re talking about demons!

  Extremely fierce ones!

  Therefore, apart from the necessary forces that were meant to guard the gate of the sect, the elders and experts of the various peaks were all staring at the vixen who was only at the Perfected Immortal realm…… Ahem, they were just wary. The demoness had self-destructed and injured the Golden Immortal’s Dao companion, Jiang Lin’er. She was definitely not there to cultivate the Eight Trigrams Technique!

  Li Changshou shook his head when he saw that. There was no difference whether he did it in front of the immortals in the sect or not.

  His current attainments in the mystical ability of creating and using paper effigies could naturally deceive the other Qi Refinement cultivators in the sect, except the Golden Immortals.

  At the same time, Li Changshou had already begun to operate simultaneously. He activated the spare ‘Sea God’ paper effigy hidden in the Sea God’s Residence of the Heavenly Courts.

  By severing the karma, he could use numbers.

  Outside the Sea God’s Residence in the Heavenly Courts, the kind-looking old Sea God left the mansion on a cloud.

  He carried his horsetail whisk and rushed to the Hall of Marriage!

  Li Changshou had just left on a cloud when the Heavenly Generals in front of the residence looked at each other.

  “When did the Sea God come back?”


  “I don’t know. I didn’t see him just now. Why is he still appearing and disappearing unpredictably?”


  “Be careful. If we can see through the Sea God, will he still be the Sea God?”


  The Heavenly Generals felt that it made sense They kept quiet and looked in the direction that Li Changshou had left.

  When the ‘Sea God’ paper effigy was halfway through his journey, the Little Qiong Peak was already filled with the shadows of the immortals in the sect.

  Fortunately, Jiang Lin’er said, “Fellow disciples, please watch from outside. It’s not appropriate for so many people to observe this matter at close proximity.”


  Son

  After saying that, he brought the vixen, Jiu Wu, Jiu Shi, and Jiu Jiu to the lake.

  When Little Lan saw the old Daoist priest standing under the willow tree, she was first shocked. Then, she could not wait and rushed forward eagerly.

  However, her legs turned into jelly, and her eyes revealed a hint of weakness. She could not help but bite her plump red lips, making her look even more pitiful.

  However, Jiang Lin’er stopped a thousand feet away with Jiu Wu and the other two. She directly sent a voice transmission to the old Daoist priest under the tree……

  “Are you Second Disciple or Changshou?”


  Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He knew that he could not hide it from Jiang Lin’er. After all, his Grandmaster knew his master too well and had been nourishing him since he was young.

  Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Jiang Lin’er via his immortal senses. “I am Disciple Changshou. This matter has nothing to do with my master. I borrowed Master’s figure to make things easier for me.”


  Jiang Lin’er immediately sneered and blinked at the old Daoist priest under the tree. She seemed to be saying, “You shall settle it yourself.”


  Following that, Jiang Lin’er pointed at “Qi Yuan” who was under the tree.

  “Isn’t he here? You may go over.”


  “Yes,” the vixen said gently and slowly floated down.

  Her enchanting figure was very charming, just like Liu Yiyi and the ripples in the lake.

  When she was about 100 feet away from the old Daoist priest she adored, the vixen’s voice trembled slightly. She said softly, “I……”


  Li Changshou pulled a long face and said, “Why do you want to see me, Fellow Daoist?”


  The vixen seemed to want to say all kinds of things at once, but when the words reached her throat, she only hummed softly and turned them into……

  “Daoist Priest, do you still remember me?” Li Changshou frowned slightly when he heard that. He controlled the changes in his expression and looked puzzled. Li Changshou said, “I remember that I don’t have a deep relationship with you. I captured you to protect the Dao of humans.

  I went to the foot of the mountain to meet you, Fellow Daoist. At that time, I was trying to figure out a cultivation technique. I also gave you Spirit Pills and some miraculous medicine as a thank-you gift.

  Fellow Daoist, why did you cause such a huge commotion today? Are you deliberately targeting me?” “Why would I target you?” The vixen took a few steps forward in a hurry.

  Li Changshou swept his horsetail whisk and a wisp of immortal power with turbid Qi appeared beside the vixen’s feet.

  “Fellow Daoist, please respect yourself. I have cultivated for a thousand years. I will not allow you to ruin my reputation!”


  “I-I……”


  The vixen’s breathing was a little rapid. Her snow-white skin was dyed red. However, she calmed down and said gently, “I just wanted to see you once.”


  Li Changshou flung his horsetail whisk. “Alright, you’ve seen me now. I won’t send you off.”


  Little Lan was stunned. Many immortals outside the Little Qiong Peak either sent voice transmissions or praised him in their heads.

  They thought, This Junior Brother Qi Yuan (Senior Brother/Disciple-Nephew) is actually such a strong and upright person. It is a pity that he can only become a Turbid Immortal.

  The vixen said pitifully, “Can you bear to let me go without saying a word to me?”


  “Fellow Daoist, you have already said forty-nine words to me. How did I not give you a chance to speak?”


  Li Changshou frowned and swept his sleeve across. A short table and two chairs appeared on the ground.

  “Come, sit. I will not only give you a chance to speak, but I will also give you a chance to speak to me properly. However, if you don’t agree with me, please talk less. Let’s make things clear today so that we won’t cause any misunderstandings in the future.”


  At that moment, Li Changshou sat down. The vixen hesitated for a while and sat opposite Li Changshou aggrievedly, as if she was a little wife who had been angered.

  At that moment, the ‘Sea God’ paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts had just managed to see Elder Moon’s Marriage Hall. Therefore, Li Changshou was not in a hurry to speak under the willow tree.

  The time was not right.

  Not far away, Ling’e walked forward with a teapot and teacup. She called out to her master and served them tea.

  That was naturally arranged by Li Changshou via voice transmission.

  At that moment, Li Changshou took the opportunity to smile kindly at Ling’e and said, “Disciple, it’s been hard on you. Go and cultivate.”


  Although Ling’e did not know that her senior brother was disguised as her master, her master was usually just as kind to her. She immediately bowed and acknowledged him before turning around and leaving.

  Li Changshou smiled and nodded. Then, he shifted his gaze to the vixen. His expression instantly became very serious.

  “Fellow Daoist, just say what you want to say. I have so many fellow disciples watching. I really don’t want to be alone with you.”


  The vixen felt her heart ache, but she knew that it was just her wishful thinking.

  She sighed softly. “Daoist Priest, do you lack a servant beside you? I can do anything but I just want to stay by your side.”


  This time, Li Changshou fell silent. He raised his teacup but did not drink any tea. He frowned.

  He seemed to be tempted by that suggestion……

  As Li Changshou “hesitated”, the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect had their interests piqued. They were fully focused on listening to the conversation, afraid that they would miss any important details……

  However, Li Changshou was only focused on talking to Elder Moon. He stopped that paper effigy from talking.

  If anything went wrong and he connected to the wrong paper effigy, it would be troublesome!

  In the Elder Moon Hall of the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou’s ‘Sea God’ paper effigy rushed over. He did not give Elder Moon a chance to go out and welcome him. When he arrived, he grabbed Elder Moon’s arm.

  “Elder Moon, I have something to ask of you!”


  “Sea God, don’t be anxious. Sea God, don’t be anxious.” Elder Moon was shocked.

  Who is the Sea God?

  He was a popular person favored by the Jade Emperor. Even if he wanted to marry ten beautiful fairies, he, Elder Moon, would have to make arrangements for them!

  At that moment, Elder Moon said seriously, “Sea God, feel free to give me any instructions!”


  However, Li Changshou’s following words made Elder Moon’s expression turn even more solemn.

  “To be honest, other than the Sea God, I also have another identity. I’m a member of Ren School. I even received the orders from the Great Daoist Master to handle some small matters of Ren School.”


  Elder Moon immediately nodded and said, “I’ve heard, I’ve heard.”


  Li Changshou replied solemnly, “I’m here to ask Elder Moon for help this time not as the Sea God, but as an immortal of Ren School. Elder Moon, according to my previous deductions, there is a small calamity brewing in the Ren School’s Immortal Du Sect. I sent my incarnation to investigate. However, I happened to discover that a demoness had fallen in love with someone from the Immortal Du Sect. That demoness is actually from Qing Qiu. At this moment, there are still many demons from Qing Qiu gathering at the Immortal Du Sect. If this continues, I’m afraid they are going to use force on that disciple of the Immortal Du Sect!”


  “Huh?!”


  Elder Moon’s eyes widened. “There’s such a thing!?!”


  Li Changshou said seriously, “That’s right. After thinking about it, I realized I can’t do anything about it. If a man fell in love with a woman at first sight and asked his clansmen to rush over to force the woman into complying, that would be evil. He would be beaten up and scolded.

  However, once a woman takes the initiative to confess to a man, most people would probably question the man first by saying that he was the one who flirted with her in the first place.

  Therefore, I can’t deal with this matter directly. I hurriedly came here to look for you, Elder Moon. I’d like to ask you to sever this ill-fate!”


  “Alright! I will definitely help you!”


  “There’s no time to lose. They are about to start fighting!”


  “Let’s go to the rear hall!” Elder Moon raised his hand and shook his sleeve. He grabbed a pair of golden scissors and rushed to the rear hall. Li Changshou took the opportunity to follow him.

  Elder Moon was not careless at all. He immediately pushed the stars to attract the dust and summoned the two groups of clay figurines.

  On the left was the Qing Qiu Clan. There were many clay figurines. Most of them were humanoid and had sharp fox ears.

  In general, the red strings of the Qing Qiu Clan were in a ‘loose’ state. Many of them extended in all directions.

  A red string extended from it and moved to the marriage clay figurines of the Immortal Du Sect on the right. Following the red string, he immediately found the clay figurine that looked somewhat like Qi Yuan.

  The red string wrapped around Qi Yuan, but there was no corresponding red string on Qi Yuan’s clay figurine……

  There was not even a thin thread. “That’s it!”


  Elder Moon was quick-witted and took a step forward. His beard and hair fluttered!

  With a crack, the red string was cut off!

  However, the red string trembled slightly and began to grow on its own again. It continued to move towards Qi Yuan’s clay figurine…… “Another infatuated person?” Elder Moon snorted and calculated in his heart. He could not lose face in front of the Sea God. That was his duty!

  Elder Moon immediately said, “Hmph! Since ancient times, those who are infatuated have always been promiscuous!”


  The golden scissors continued to snap. When Li Changshou saw that, he pondered for a while and took the initiative to attack on the main battlefield!

  On Little Qiong Peak, under the willow tree by the lake, “Qi Yuan”, who had been silent all this while, suddenly chuckled.

  Due to the fact that the red string had been cut, Little Lan, who was feeling inexplicably vexed, immediately said, “Daoist Priest, what’s wrong?”


  “I’m waiting for you to speak. Why aren’t you saying anything?” The vixen, Little Lan, was stunned. She quickly said, “I thought you were thinking about it……”


  “Think about what asking you to stay behind? Don’t think too much.”


  Li Changshou smiled. The sound of the Moon Elder’s golden scissors clicking echoed in his ears. His expression became much more relaxed as he faced the vixen.

  Li Changshou said calmly, “Fellow Daoist, you’re not interested in me, are you?” The fox girl looked anxious. “Daoist priest, my heart is filled with you!”


  “Is this considered falling in love?”


  Li Changshou’s eyes emitted a threatening glow. He stared at the vixen, as if he could see through her defenses. Li Changshou said, “Have you ever asked yourself what you truly think? Do you really understand your feelings?”


  “I naturally asked……”


  The fox girl’s voice weakened as she tried to sense her Dao heart. However, she realized that those figures had become a little faint!

  “No, actually, you didn’t,” Li Changshou said calmly. “The simplest example is that if the person who saw you in the underground prison was not me, but anyone from the Immortal Du Sect. As long as someone has found a way to deal with your Enchantment Spell in advance and make you feel defeated, you will place his shadow in your heart. After the passage of time, you will have the illusion that you have engraved this person in your heart. Is that so?

  “Well……”


  The fox girl parted her red lips but could not say anything. She hurriedly stood up and was at a loss.

  Li Changshou sighed.

  “Fellow Daoist, if I were someone else, you would only be attracted to another person. How can you say that you have feelings for me?

  The most basic and most precious thing about the relationship between a man and a woman is being loyal to only one Dao companion. Liking a person is not just being obsessed with them. Liking a person means that that person is someone who cannot be replaced in your heart.

  Clearly, that’s not the case for you.”


  The vixen’s eyes were a little dazed as she muttered, “I didn’t……”


  “The Earth Meridian Prison is dark and gloomy. You were alone in it. Without the flattery of the little demons beside you, and without the bustling scene of the mortal world, you only want to find someone to rely on. You are also at the Perfected Immortal realm. You can experience it yourself. Is that so?

  Fellow Daoist, you’re not interested in me, Qi Yuan.”


  The fox girl took two steps back. Her eyes were filled with confusion. She muttered softly, “I’m not attracted to Daoist Priest Qi Yuan. I’m attracted to……”


  “It’s loneliness.”


  Little Lan’s slender legs gave way and she fell onto the grass.

  Li Changshou sighed and said, “Don’t give your loyalty to loneliness anymore. I only said that to you because you’re from the Qing Qiu Clan. Fellow Daoist, please leave.”


  After saying that, Li Changshou flicked his sleeve and walked towards Lingle’s straw hut, leaving behind the confused vixen and the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect who were deep in thought.

  That was not the end.

  At the gate of the Immortal Du Sect, the paper effigy, who had not followed Jiang Lin’er to the Little Qiong Peak previously, flew out of the sect on a cloud and headed towards the old woman who should be the leader of the Qing Qiu Demon Clan.

  The internal problem had been resolved, and the external pressure had to be removed in time.

  A moment later, in the Elder Moon Hall of the Heavenly Courts, Elder Moon raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked at the red string that had finally stopped growing and heaved a sigh of relief.

  Elder Moon turned around and saw the Sea God sizing up the Immortal Du Sect’s Clay Figurine Array with interest……

  “Sea God, is everything alright now?”


  “Everything is fine for now.” Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you for your help, Elder Moon! However…… why are there three red strings surrounding this clay figurine?”


  “Oh?” Elder Moon walked over and took a look. He smiled and said, “This is the marriage clay figurine of my young friend Changshou from the Immortal Du Sect. When I first saw it, it was already like this. Little friend Changshou is also a good person. The Sea God paid a lot of attention to him. He is definitely a talent among the disciples of Ren School!”


  When Li Changshou heard that, he smiled and shook his head.

  Elder Moon hurriedly asked, “Sea God, what’s wrong?”


  “It’s nothing.” Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart, but he only said, “There better not be any more.”
