Chapter 205: Mighty Marshal Shen Peng, Li Yao's Predicament

[Li Yao: Fifth Stage of the Mahayana Realm, Child of Heaven and Earth, Immortal Emperor Descendant, born with a Heavenly Phoenix accompanying her, blessing the Mortal Realm she resided in, having Cultivated for seven hundred years to reach Mahayana, naturally cautious, hating conflicts, and fond of Cultivating]

Han Jue looked at the information before him with a strange expression.

This template…

It's like a female version of him!

Han Jue instantly developed a favorable impression of Li Yao.

Like-minded!

Han Jue found Li Yao more and more pleasing to the eye. Li Yao, who was quietly Cultivating, looked like a celestial being, and the scene was so harmonious.

After watching for a while, Han Jue withdrew his Divine Sense.

He did not go and disturb Li Yao.

Heaven knows which Mortal Realm Li Yao was in.

"Master, what is going on? Could it be that a world is hidden within the water?" Enlightenment Sword asked.

Han Jue did not hide it either. He explained the ability of the nine heavens milky way water, leaving Enlightenment Sword in utter amazement.

This water could actually spy on other worlds; it was truly extraordinary.

Han Jue resumed his cross-legged position and continued to Cultivate.

…

Within a peach forest, a woman in a green dress stood under a tree, waiting bashfully and expectantly. She had a pretty face and occasionally looked around.

In the distance, two people stood behind a large tree.

They were none other than Murong Qi and Xun Changan.

Murong Qi urged, "Master, what are you still waiting for? She is already waiting for you!"

Xun Changan wore a bamboo hat, and a veil obscured his face. His heart was extremely nervous.

"Rest assured, you have protected her for ten years. She has long regarded you as her sweetheart. Go on." Murong Qi pushed Xun Changan out.

Xun Changan was almost pushed down by him.

This brat doesn't know his own strength!

Xun Changan cursed inwardly, then mustered his courage and walked toward the woman in the green dress.

Soon, the woman in the green dress saw Xun Changan walking over.

Xun Changan wore a bamboo hat and black robes, exuding an extraordinary Aura that closely matched the woman in the green dress's imagination of a powerful Cultivator.

"It is him who has been secretly protecting me all along…"

The eyes of the woman in the green dress were misty as she watched Xun Changan walk over like a lovesick maiden.

Seeing her expression, Xun Changan became excited.

Qianer was finally going to be his!

Xun Changan quickened his pace.

Arriving before the woman in the green dress, he fell silent again, not knowing what to say.

For a moment, the peach blossom forest fell into complete silence.

The woman in the green dress gently bit her lip and said, "Why have you always…"

Suppressing his excitement, Xun Changan said, "I have searched for you for hundreds of years. In our past life, you grew up together with me. You are the true love of my life."

His confession instantly turned the neck and ears of the woman in the green dress crimson.

Hundreds of years!

The heart of the woman in the green dress completely fell.

How many women in this world could withstand such a confession and deep affection?

The woman in the green dress asked nervously, "Can I look at your face?"

Xun Changan hesitated.

The woman in the green dress raised her hand and gently lifted his veil.

The next second, the woman in the green dress trembled all over and abruptly took a step back.

This step was like a basin of cold water extinguishing the fire in Xun Changan's heart.

Xun Changan asked with a wry smile, "Am I very ugly?"

The woman in the green dress fell silent.

She desperately wanted to say it didn't matter, but he was truly too ugly. She had never seen someone so hideous—it wasn't due to any physical deformity, but ugliness in the truest sense of the word.

"I…" The woman in the green dress trailed off, her words stopping at her lips.

Grief and indignation filled Xun Changan's heart, but he had long anticipated this possibility, so he was not in despair.

He had long experienced despair and no longer feared it.

Xun Changan asked painfully, "Then should I leave?"

Since they could not meet, he would continue to hide in the shadows and protect her for the rest of her life.

"Sigh… Don't go…"

The woman in the green dress sighed, and her words made Xun Changan's mood improve once more.

Could it be that Qianer of this lifetime did not despise him?

In the distance, Murong Qi watched with a belly laugh. He tried hard to suppress his voice, continuously pounding the tree trunk, laughing so hard he was almost dying.

…

Ever since Han Jue discovered Li Yao, another thirty years had passed.

He had finally reached the Middle Stage of the Reincarnation Profound Immortal Realm.

Although his Breakthrough speed was slower than before, it was still within a tolerable range for Han Jue.

During these thirty years, every time Han Jue cursed an enemy, he would also take a glance at Li Yao.

This woman really knew how to bitterly Cultivate. For thirty years, she had been sitting cross-legged under that willow tree day in and day out without moving a muscle.

It was worth mentioning that unexpectedly, no one came to disturb her.

Logically speaking, being located within a city, one would inevitably be disturbed; after all, it wasn't a utopia.

Perhaps the Mortal Realm where Li Yao resided was far more powerful than the Crimson Cloud Realm. Because of this, people were accustomed to cultivation, and thirty years did not seem too long to them.

After the Breakthrough, Han Jue took out the book of misfortune to celebrate.

While cursing, he also checked the strongest beings around the Crimson Cloud Realm.

[Marshal Shen Peng: Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm Perfection, Second-Rank Heavenly General of the Heavenly Court]

Han Jue was puzzled. Why had Marshal Shen Peng come?

He did not extend his Divine Sense over, lest he startle the two great deities.

Several months later, Han Jue checked again, and Marshal Shen Peng was still there.

Hence, Han Jue began to challenge Marshal Shen Peng using the Simulation Trial.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes with a strange expression.

He had actually lost!

Both were at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm Perfection. Di Taibai couldn't beat him, but Marshal Shen Peng could.

Moreover, Han Jue was suppressed the entire time; it was not an evenly matched fight.

Not bad.

As expected of a Heavenly Court marshal, his combat power had some substance.

Han Jue guessed that Marshal Shen Peng should be on the same tier as the Divine Palace's Sword God Emperor.

Roughly three years passed before Marshal Shen Peng left.

Han Jue felt a bit strange.

What was there for those two to chat about?

Couldn't they chat back in the Heavenly Court?

Han Jue got up, came to the side of the nine heavens milky way water, and continued to observe Li Yao.

Enlightenment Sword said jealously, "Master, have you taken a fancy to her?"

Every ten years, Han Jue would stare at Li Yao.

Han Jue replied, "Indeed, a little."

Upon hearing this, Enlightenment Sword became even more displeased.

Over so many years, Li Yao's cultivation had already reached the eighth layer of the Mahayana Realm. In a little while, she would probably be able to Ascend.

Han Jue hesitated whether he should contact Li Yao.

Such a person with great Luck would definitely go far in the future. Han Jue could invite her to come to the Mountain of Bitter Cultivation to Immortality to Cultivate and discuss the Dao of Hiding.

Ahem.

The Dao of Bitter cultivation!

Han Jue cursed inwardly. How could he call himself a coward?

On this day, Li Yao was finally disturbed by someone.

The person who came was her father, Li Tianxin.

"Yao'er, you are already close to reaching the Loose Immortal realm. It is about time you formed a marriage alliance. What do you think of the Lu family's Young Master? Their family head is a Taiyi Celestial Immortal," Li Tianxin asked with a chuckle.

Li Yao frowned and said, "Father, I do not want to get married. I only want to Cultivate. You must not always think about climbing socially to someone higher. Give me time, and I will lead the Li family toward unprecedented prosperity."

Li Tianxin shook his head and smiled, saying, "Yao'er, cultivation is not that simple. It requires Opportunity. If you bitterly Cultivate all day long, after reaching the immortal realm, every step will be exceedingly difficult."

"That is because Father does not know my Aptitude. Even in the immortal realm, I can rely on my own Aptitude to surpass others."

"Yao'er, this is a once-in-a-millennium Opportunity. Since the Lu family's Young Master has taken a liking to you, you must not miss out on it."

"Father, I really cannot do this."

"This matter is settled. Prepare yourself well. How could Father harm you? Father is doing this for your own good!"

After saying this, Li Tianxin flicked his sleeves and left.

Li Yao sat cross-legged under the tree, her delicate brows tightly knitted.
