Chapter 105
Ye Piaoling looked up at the man in surprise.
“What the hell? So you were a Divine Venerable from the Heavenly Realm all along?”
Di Xiulan lifted his eyes indifferently. “Is that so surprising?”
Ye Piaoling snorted. “With a background that impressive, you still had the nerve to ask a tiny mortal like me for bed money…”
Di Xiulan smiled faintly. “Those are two separate matters.”
Ye Piaoling huffed and continued reading.
The Divine Tree had withered, and the Tianxie had brought disaster and chaos, already affecting the peace of the myriad worlds. For this reason, Divine Venerable Di Xiulan descended to the mortal realm, sealed a host of Tianxie on the Glazed Continent, and defeated the Evil Lord.
But the Evil Lord possessed an undying body. He had no hun soul, only po souls. After his Primordial Spirit suffered a devastating blow, his evil po split into three and fled.
Before escaping, he also placed the Soul-Departing Curse on the Divine Venerable.
The Soul-Departing Curse would flare up every full moon night. Within the dream, the Divine Venerable would not remember who he was and could only follow the script of the Soul-Departing Dream, bringing calamity to the Three Realms again and again as the Demon Emperor…
Meanwhile, the Evil Lord appeared as a righteous savior. He wanted to use this method to make the Divine Venerable fall onto the demonic path.
Later, the Divine Venerable finally encountered someone capable of breaking the Soul-Departing Curse: a young girl who was greedy for money, lustful, and full of schemes.
Ye Piaoling: “???”
“Greedy for money.” “Lustful.” “Full of schemes.”
That couldn’t possibly be talking about me, right?
The Divine Venerable brought the young girl into the Soul-Departing Dream. And as expected, she did not disappoint him. After going through countless twists and turns, she found the key to breaking the dream, and the Divine Venerable’s Soul-Departing Curse was lifted because of it…
When she got to this part, Ye Piaoling was so furious that she slammed the table and shot to her feet. “So when I entered the Soul-Departing Dream back then, it wasn’t an accident at all. You arranged it on purpose!”
Di Xiulan smiled calmly. “Correct.”
Ye Piaoling snapped, “Then did you ever think about what would happen if I couldn’t break the dream? My soul would have scattered, and I would’ve been dead as a doornail!”
Di Xiulan said lightly, “You would not have died.”
Ye Piaoling said, “How would you know?”
Di Xiulan said, “Because you had not finished spending your money. So you would never have allowed yourself to die. You would have found a way back to reality no matter what.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
That made so much sense she actually couldn’t refute it.
She suffocated in silence for a long while.
Then she pointed at the words “greedy for money and lustful” and demanded, “What’s with this description? I admit I’m greedy for money, but when have I ever been lustful?”
Di Xiulan narrowed his eyes and thought back for a moment, then said slowly, “When you were in Dual Cultivation with the Big Demon King, you did seem rather pleased for a time.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
Di Xiulan said, “When the Big Demon King asked why you were not afraid of death, you said that dying beneath peony blossoms would make one a romantic ghost.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
Di Xiulan smiled. “And you truly were willful. One moment you wanted to be on top, the next you wanted to be underneath. The Big Demon King put quite a lot of thought into making sure you enjoyed yourself. Oh, and also-”
“Enough!!!”
Ye Piao lunged over and covered the man’s mouth with trembling hands. “That’s plenty, babe. Please stop talking…”
Di Xiulan took her hand and held it in his palm. “Then do you still think there is anything improper about my description of you?”
“…”
Ye Piaoling was so angry steam practically poured from the top of her head.
After a long while, she finally squeezed out through gritted teeth, “No. Your wording is simply perfect. You must have scored a hundred on every language exam back in the day, huh?”
Di Xiulan: “…?”
Still fuming, Ye Piaoling sat back down across the desk, picked up the scroll, and continued reading.
After the Evil Lord escaped, his po souls transformed into three separate avatars: Heavenly, Human, and Ghost.
Among them, the Heavenly Po was the master of the three po souls. It had no body and no form, but its magic was the strongest. The Ghost Po had no mind of its own and had always remained in ghost form in the southern Forbidden God Canyon. As for the Human Po, it had transformed into an ordinary person and was hiding in Dali.
“The Evil Lord’s Human Po is in Dali?”
Ye Piaoling said in shock, “Can we drag him out?”
Di Xiulan shook his head. “The Human Po incarnation is the hardest to find. He looks completely like an ordinary person. His only distinguishing trait is that he cannot be injured or killed.”
Ye Piaoling frowned.
In other words, the Evil Lord’s Human Po could be any ordinary commoner on the street. That really did make it difficult to pinpoint him!
Although he had the unique constitution of being immune to injury and death, they couldn’t exactly drag everyone out and slash each person once to test it, could they?
Ye Piaoling thought for a moment, then recounted everything that had happened during the trial and asked, “Which of the Evil Lord’s po souls was the Black-robed Figure I encountered? You already guessed he would appear, didn’t you?”
Di Xiulan said, “That was a projected shadow of the Heavenly Po. When the Union of the Three Po Souls occurs, the Evil Lord will reappear in the world. All these years, he and I have both been waiting for that day…”
“I want him to show himself so I can eliminate him completely. His goal, on the other hand, is to be reborn and obtain even greater power. Now that the time has come, this grand game of chess has already begun.”
After a pause, he continued, “Opening the space-time passage inside the Hundred Demon Mountain Secret Realm was his first move.”
Ye Piaoling asked in confusion, “But since you had already guessed what he would do, why did you still allow the Tianwen Sect disciples to go there for training? Quite a few people died in the Eternal Life Origin Realm this time!”
