My Lady Always Lacks Ambition
Chapter 1205 - 1149: Great Emperor: The Little Rascal Is Back Again!
Leaving Qing’er Mountain, Qin Liuxi didn’t immediately return to Qinglan Temple but entered the Ghost Gate.
Emperor Fengdu’s head began to ache again, feeling a need to urgently gather his subordinates for some brainstorming: how to restrict this person from coming and going freely at will? A living person wanting to come just comes, wanting to leave just leaves — does the Yin Realm have no face? 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
However, these thoughts only brewed privately, seeing this fellow come with a frosty face, not a hint of cheeky humor. Instead, they felt a drumbeat in their hearts — what had happened?
Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha exchanged glances, silently moving closer, sitting upright with serious faces, but hearts lifted.
Could it be she’s about to explode?
Ksitigarbha silently pushed a plate of snacks in front of Qin Liuxi, smiling, "Your cultivation and merit have grown, shows diligence in your practice."
Emperor Fengdu asked, "What is your purpose this time?"
Qin Liuxi hummed, "Three things: One, I want to see Si Luo trapped in the Nine Netherworld; a glance at what kind of existence he is, if he’s got three heads and six arms."
The two were stunned.
"Second, the Underworld has existed for so many years, I believe not all who enter wish to reincarnate. I want to know if there are any old masters of Qingping Sect who haven’t reincarnated; find them for me."
Emperor Fengdu said, "What do you want with these people?"
Qin Liuxi glanced sideways, "Isn’t it because of your negligence, failing to keep watch over the Evil Buddha, allowing him to escape and wreak havoc in the mortal world; now to fight the monsters, we rely on Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, spirit monsters willing to risk death, not you all crossing realms against the heavens, right?"
Listen, that veiled sarcasm makes one itch to slap!
Emperor Fengdu stood up, glaring at Qin Liuxi.
Ksitigarbha gently tugged his sleeve, anxious, holding back from making a scene.
Emperor Fengdu said irritated, "Why are you tugging? Got a numb leg, can’t I stretch it?"
He pretended to kick the Void twice.
Qin Liuxi chuckled, saying in the know, he’s stretching his leg; those unaware might think he’s venting at some air target, kicking fiercely.
Ksitigarbha remarked, "Investigate that, let the Reincarnation King check through it; but your aim for people of Qingping Sect?"
"Heard that Qingping Sect reveres The Three Pure Ones, with Taoist Sect Secret Skills; if true, I must inherit them," Qin Liuxi peered at Emperor Fengdu, "Otherwise, for us mere mortals, these Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, can’t win against Si Luo that old demon."
Emperor Fengdu: "..."
Seriously, when you talk, why gaze at me with that yin-yang tone?
"What did he do up there, for you to be so apprehensive?" Ksitigarbha sensed her urgency.
Qin Liuxi thought, finally asked; she bluntly detailed Si Luo’s acts of seizing Qi Fortune and Spirit Veins, didn’t omit that Boundless Barrier, concluding: "Now he can freely snatch Spirit Veins and Qi Fortune; it’s unimaginable how powerful he was thousands of years ago in his prime; is he merely a Buddhist Practitioner and not some God descending for Tribulation training?"
Ksitigarbha sighed, "He’s a rare Buddha’s son, reincarnated as Fanmo with dual Buddhist and Taoist Cultivation."
"That’s it, so formidable, we’re doomed, you’re doomed too," Qin Liuxi remarked dryly, "Now he’s stirred this chaos; I couldn’t harm him at all."
Oh, not counting that dharma form time; she hadn’t seen it, so pretended it didn’t count.
Emperor Fengdu snapped, "Speak straightforwardly, what do you want!"
Just waiting for this line!
"This is my third point: recently, a fellow temple master, Qinglan Temple’s master, sparred with Si Luo; he mentioned Divine Weapons could counter him. You know, my Qingping Temple’s just a small temple, poor as a church mouse..."
"Qingping Temple’s golden roof shines brighter than here, say that without shame," Emperor Fengdu interrupted her.
Qin Liuxi stated, "The golden roof is merely glazed tile, you think it’s real gold? Feel free to bite it, see if it leaves a mark!"
Emperor Fengdu coughed, his beard puffed with anger.
Qin Liuxi continued, "Qingping Temple lacks depth; I’m young, don’t know the temple’s assets. Besides, Master died early, didn’t have time to disclose so-called secrets before expiring, likely no secrets to disclose. Point is, Divine Weapons, Qingping Temple surely doesn’t possess; what about you all..."
"You’ve squeezed out several treasures from us!"
"I’m not asking for treasures, of course, should you offer, I’d appreciate; all for all living things, they would be grateful. I’d have them increase offerings!" Qin Liuxi said, "I seek Divine Weapons; if not possessed, find them for me, gained by fate."
Ha, believed your deceit — ’gained by fate’, largely won by ability!
She watched Emperor Fengdu puff in anger, displaying barefoot stance: "Not assisting, no problem; we’ll perish together, the Heavenly Dao collapsed, must be rebuilt."
The little rascal!
Emperor Fengdu glared, closed and opened his mouth, finally saying, "I’ll find the Reincarnation King."
He left in a huff.
Qin Liuxi clicked her tongue, slouched eating a piece of cake quickly, saying, "Emperor’s temper is unstable; at his age, emotional control lacks decorum."
Ksitigarbha chuckled, thinking it’s because you drove him.
He glimpsed Qin Liuxi’s hidden anxiety, saying, "Don’t burden yourself excessively; cultivator’s path is free, cultivate your unique Dao."
"Ksitigarbha, tired of such motivational speeches, how about actual substance?" Qin Liuxi asked, "Back to Si Luo, I must breach that Boundless Barrier; uncover its secrets — why there? Leaving unharmed, must have treasures for protection, right?"
Ksitigarbha pondered, asked, "Where did you say he set the Barrier?"
"Northwest, a ’Black Desert’, a land of nothingness; ghosts couldn’t access, trapped yin souls couldn’t reincarnate, like the Land of Nihility."
"No, it’s Realm of Nothingness," Ksitigarbha sat upright, "Years ago, he intended Ascension to Immortality there, for proximity to Heaven, devoid of disturbance, with Spiritual Energy abundance. Legend says the Realm of Nothingness is a Secret Realm left by a great Immortal ascension, termed Nihility Realm in thriving immortal cultivation era, admitting only fated."
Qin Liuxi’s smile vanished.
Damn, Black Desert’s a Secret Realm?
Then hadn’t I missed a great opportunity for treasure? Back then, merely gained a Purple Gold Tao Fruit from the oasis within!
