This Is Exactly How Cultivation Works

Chapter 657: Don't dare to go deeper

Views:

Dragon Palace.

There are carved railings and jade bricks, and continuous jade steps. The glazed palace ceiling is imprinted with brilliant clouds. Looking from afar, you can see thousands of golden lights and auspicious auras in the deep sea, as if a treasure has come out of the world, emitting light, with an indescribable beauty and majesty.

Looking closely, one can see palaces and palaces lined up one after another, with twelve towering dragon-shaped pillars that are out of reach, supporting the vast sky under the ocean.

Looking up at the sky from the palace, there are rippling blue waves and scattered stars.

The sky is full of vivid stars, hidden during the day and visible at night, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake. It is no different from the sky outside.

The floor of the main hall is paved with white jade, and the rich spiritual energy ripples like water.

Two rows of beautiful women played the piano and danced. The tunes were melodious and graceful, revealing a sense of tranquility in their lightness.

Behind the white gauze curtain, a woman was lying on her side on a cloud bed with her eyes closed as if she was taking a nap. In front of her were two maids sitting cross-legged, one burning incense and making tea, while the other gently massaging the woman's calf.

The woman had her hair in a bun and her eyebrows were lightly drawn. She was wearing a palace dress that fitted her figure well, and her maturity and plumpness were beyond words.

She has her own majesty in silence, with her long black hair hanging down and a lazy and charming demeanor. At first glance, you can tell that she is a caring big sister.

Dragon King, Ao Yi.

"Report!"

A muffled sound was heard outside the hall, and a huge dark figure could be vaguely seen approaching.

The music of the piano and the dancing continued. A maid beside the desk stood up, talked quietly for a few moments outside the hall, and then returned.

"Palace Master, the whereabouts of the Third Prince has been found."

“So soon?”

Ao Yi opened his beautiful eyes, a pair of silver eyes that were cold, deep, and stunningly charming. All her charm faded away, and her majesty and nobility became even more evident.

"News has come from the forbidden area that a patrolling sea yaksha spotted the Third Prince, and he was accompanied by several human monks." The maid reported.

Ao Yi frowned slightly. When Ao Cheng was kidnapped by a mysterious man, she began to speculate which force this matter was related to and who was so bold as to make trouble in the Dragon Palace's territory.

Taking advantage of the situation, I imagined tens of millions of words of conspiracy and intrigue.

Unexpectedly, before the people she sent out could find out anything, the other side had already sent Ao Cheng back.

What is the conspiracy

Ao Yi pondered in silence for a moment, then shook his head slightly, gave the maid a few instructions, closed his eyes and continued to listen to the music.

The main gate of Dragon Palace.

White marble slabs covered a huge square, and two rows of shrimp soldiers and crab generals held up a water curtain to welcome the safe return of the Third Prince.

Ao Chenglong walked in front with the gait of a tiger and a dignified look on his face. Before entering the door, he took the sword handed to him by the patrolling sea yaksha and tied it around his waist.

Two other soldiers brought cloaks.

He carried a sword in one hand, and his red cloak danced with the rhythm. At first glance, he looked like a victorious general.

Ao Cheng is the third prince of the Dragon Palace, with two older brothers above him, so one can imagine his status as the youngest brother in the family.

The Gu family's chariot was well aware of the principle of not demoting a person to a difficult situation, and turned a blind eye to his pretentious behavior. Everyone looked at his nose with their eyes and his heart with their noses, acting like a majestic prince.

Lu Bei was the same, it was rare that he didn't nag.

As a new arrival, he didn't know the local customs and had not yet figured out the power of the Dragon King, so he chose to keep a low profile.

At this moment, standing next to Xinli Jun, he used the tall backs of Yuanji Wang and Gu Yuanping to cover himself tightly.

In fact, it doesn't matter where he stands. The Gu family's cart is two meters long per person. As long as he walks honestly with his legs instead of floating, standing in the convoy, it's basically no different from being invisible.

Ao Cheng luckily escaped from the clutches of the evil monk and was sent back to the Dragon Palace by his savior. Although the Gu family also had something to ask for, he could not skimp on etiquette and ordered his attendants to prepare a banquet, and he wanted to personally entertain King Yuanji and his party.

Halfway through the banquet, King Yuanji asked if he could meet the Dragon King. Ao Cheng nodded in agreement and sent his attendants to the Dragon King's palace to inquire.

The result was not very friendly. The Dragon King was busy and tired and did not want to meet outsiders.

Helplessly, everyone could only stay in the palace for the time being.

There was an independent courtyard and several guest rooms. Lu Bei was naturally assigned a bed because of his and Xin Lijun's marriage.

For people who practice cultivation, especially high-level cultivators like those in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, beds do not have much significance. Generally speaking, futons and couches can basically meet their needs.

So, this bed has only one function.

Lu Bei was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, leaving no room for Xin Lijun.

As the old saying goes, I will not allow others to snore beside my bed.

As a boy, he was at risk of losing money at any time when he went out, so he always kept this sentence in mind.

Xin Lijun took a look, took out the cushion and sat down. When she was holding her breath and concentrating on meditating, a strong wind blew and went straight to her forehead.

Xin Lijun turned his head and looked at the ground expressionlessly. There was a round Qi Ling Pill.

It's a hidden weapon.

"Come here, don't squat there."

Lu Bei said in a voice transmission: "Your elders think that the Dragon King is a good friend and they have a good relationship with him. So they won't be rejected if they ask him for help. But I don't think so... Well, just in case, let's lie down together."

Xin Lijun: “…”

Forgive her for being young but ignorant, are the two things causally related

Lu Bei seemed to understand what Xin Lijun was thinking, and continued to transmit his voice: "If it were me...if it were you, your son was suddenly snatched away by someone, and the next day the kind-hearted person returned to the original owner, what would you think?"

"It's simple. Either you think the thief is crying thief, or you think the kind-hearted person is seeing injustice..."

"No matter which one it is, as the mistress of the Dragon Palace, it is her duty to meet the person who saved her son's life, but she did not show up and said that she was too busy to walk."

The argument was clear and logical, and it dealt with the facts, and had a very good grasp of human nature. Xin Lijun could not find fault with it, and then he thought that Dragon King Ao Yi had not shown up from beginning to end, and it was very likely that he was observing them in secret.

She did not rush to go to bed, but asked in a voice transmission, if the Dragon King was really watching in secret, she would have been exposed as soon as she took out the cushion and sat down.

Lu Bei said that it was not a big problem and wrote a script about a young couple who were having a conflict.

In a nutshell, the woman suspected that the man had someone else outside and was unhappy.

Too real, at least the male protagonist is very realistic.

After listening to the script, Xin Lijun curled his lips and closed his eyes to recuperate. Lu Bei got up from the bed, calling him "Lijun" all the time, and dragged him to the ** with soft and hard persuasion.

The sequel is a paid plot. The Dragon King did not pay for membership, and Lu Bei did not give her a chance to get it for free, so he held the cart and started the Yin-Yang Fish Swimming.

There is no dual cultivation, everyone practices their own.

Lu Bei and Xin Lijun were not familiar with each other, and the few times they had physical contact, he was the one who beat him unilaterally. There was no emotion, and naturally there was no plot of the fairy falling from grace.

Xin Lijun had a cold face and said nothing. She had no lines in the script. No matter what Lu Bei said or did, she would struggle for a while and then obey.

The young couple was in a cold war in the house, lying on a bed.

The meat was in the wolf's mouth and was about to be swallowed. King Yuanji and Gu Yuanping, as the elders, completely forgot about this, especially King Yuanji. His mind was full of the blood curse and the Dragon King, and he could not tolerate anything else.

He called the servants outside the courtyard and met Ao Cheng, and asked him to take a message to the Dragon King, saying that the descendants of the Gu family wanted to see him.

The "Gu" in Gu Tianyin's name.

A moment later, a maid arrived at the villa. The Dragon King had finished his lunch break and wanted to meet with the descendants of the Gu family.

Not only King Yuanji, but all the descendants of the Gu family must be present.

Main hall.

Pearls are embedded in the wall, and the spiritual energy turns into hazy mist.

Lu Bei followed behind King Yuanji, keeping a low profile and came to the last table. As soon as he sat down, Xinli Jun accompanied him.

Soon, two teams of maids entered, surrounding a noble and beautiful woman in palace dress. Her lips were red and her face was powdered white. Her eyes were majestic without even being angry. When she raised her eyes, she came like thunder and ended like the clear light of the sea.

Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

After a while, I thought to myself that I had wronged Boss Cao before.

If I give him another chance to reorganize his words, I can only say, screw the pornographic books and the Spring and Autumn Annals. I, Lu Bei, am willing to go through fire and water for the Cao family.

Xin Lijun snorted coldly, and Lu Bei immediately lowered his head, his eyes looking at his nose, his nose looking at his heart, his heart...

Hey, what are you humming? What does it have to do with you

Lu Bei curled his lips. It was his bad luck that he had fallen into this pit. He had dug it himself and could not get out.

He raised his hand to hook the waist of the cart and held up the wine glass in front of him. Xin Lijun took the wine pot and poured him a glass.

Like Zhu Xiushi, it is obvious that he has not received any professional training. Those who are truly engaged in diplomacy know that it is not the wine that makes people drunk, but people themselves. Although good wine is good, half a glass is enough.

Too much will lead to big mistakes.

The two of them voluntarily became invisible, and King Yuanji wished for it. If he had known earlier that Xinli Jun alone could cripple Lu Bei, he would have definitely brought two with him before he came.

"Gu Yuanji/Yuanping, descendants of the Gu family, greet the master of Dragon Palace." King Yuanji and Gu Yuanping both saluted.

"When you are an old friend, you don't need to be polite."

Ao Yi nodded, and the three of them sat down. The Gu family had waited for this day for who knows how long. King Yuanji drank a mouthful of wine, clasped his fists and said, "There are ancient records in my family that my ancestor's taboo name is Gu Tianyin, and he was a childhood friend of the Palace Master..."

Balabala... Waibi Waibi... Bilibili...

He spoke a lot of words, trying to get close to him and awaken Ao Yi's memories of Gu Tianyin.

What kind of memory is it? What is the relationship between Gu Tianyin and Ao Yi? Is it a gentleman's friendship or a Guan-Bao friendship? If it is a Guan-Bao friendship, is it a casual friendship or an irreconcilable one

It is not written in the book, and King Yuanji was afraid that he would make mistakes if he said too much, so he did not dare to go into details.

It's difficult for him. He really can't say anything careless. After all, Ao Yi is the mother of three children. She is in a high position and has great strength. If she says something wrong, the network of contacts built up by her ancestors will be cut off.

"Gu Tianyin..."

Ao Yi muttered to himself, looking into the distance: "What an ancient name. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten this person..."

King Yuanji observed Ao Yi's words and expressions, trying to find a breakthrough from his complicated expression. If possible, he hoped that his ancestor and this guy would have an irreconcilable relationship, the kind that would be close.

"In the book left by your ancestors, does it describe the relationship between me and the Gu family?"

"Ah, this..."

Yuan Ji Wang was embarrassed and said honestly, "I know roughly what you are talking about, but I dare not speak nonsense in front of you, senior."

"It's not nonsense. Just look at her and you'll know. It's not difficult to guess a thing or two." Ao Yi looked intently at Gu Yuanping.

When the two pairs of silver eyes met, Gu Yuanping's heart trembled, and Ao Yi said calmly: "Your Gu family has my dragon blood in its veins."

"…" x3

"???" x1

What the hell, this is not a friendship. Gu Tianyin is actually the Prince Ling of the East China Sea
