Chapter 199: Pretending to be Real
Chapter 199 - Pretending to be a Real Actor
The next morning, in the secret room of Little Turtle Peak.
Zhou Qingxuan woke up in a ghostly manner, only to feel that her body was stiff and sore, and there was a tearing, sharp pain coming from her sea of consciousness. "Mana is imprisoned......"
Her innocent face and skirt were stained with blood as she lay on the cold floor.
Subconsciously touching her waist, the storage bag and spirit pet bag disappeared.
A short while later, the door to the chamber opened.
A white-clothed man with a long body like jade swept past the yellow-skirted girl and sat down on a futon not far away.
Zhou Qingxuan looked up and gazed at the familiar face of the man, the other party's dark pupils, ancient wells without waves.
"Congratulations, Lord Compassionate Emperor, for getting your wish."
Zhou Qingxuan forced a smile and supported the ground with her jade hands, struggling to get up.
As a result, her injuries flared up.
Her legs and knees landed on the ground with a thud, turning into a prostrate and half-kneeling position.
Lu Changan scrutinized the pure and delicate Zhou family's proud daughter, who was now in a sorry state, looking awe-inspiring and respectful.
Once upon a time, the Qi refining stage of him to see the foundation stage of Zhou Qingxuan, to the younger generation, respectfully, can not be disobeyed.
"Hehe, Miss Zhou and the Hundred Lodging Soul Compass used to get along like this?"
Lu Changan laughed lightly, his expression derisive.
"You weren't being......"
Zhou Qingxuan's pretty face shook with disbelief.
"Miss Zhou is wrong, Mister Lu was not possessed by a Soul Compass. Due to a special talent, Mister Lu is barely separate from it and has some autonomy over his body."
Lu Chang'an said slowly.
"In that case, the one who is communicating with my little girl right now is Fellow Daoist Lu himself?"
Zhou Qingxuan was shocked and doubtful, her pretty eyes staring at him.
"That's right."
Receiving an affirmative reply, the prostrate yellow-skirted girl's face flushed, revealing an expression of shame and embarrassment.
Previously, Zhou Qingxuan and the Soul Compass were in a symbiotic state, but the Soul Compass dominated her body, suppressing her obediently.
If one's realm and soul dao attainments were high, or if one had special magical abilities, one could theoretically subdue the soul compulsion and make it work for them.
As a genius of beast control, Zhou Qingxuan knew this.
She had once tried, hoping to gain partial control of her body, but unfortunately, she was unsuccessful.
Lu Changan had been targeted by the Soul Compass and attempted to board it, clearly not an ordinary cultivator, and certainly had more potential and value than Zhou Qingxuan.
Lu Chang'an was able to do this, and the depth of his concealment even exceeded the Soul Compulsion's expectations.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, how are you going to dispose of my little girl?"
A few moments later, Zhou Qingxuan calmed her mind and sat down on her knees with her legs crossed, spreading a smile.
Lu Changan said, "According to Soul Compass Senior's plan: after parasitizing on Mister Lu, I am prepared to unleash the prohibition in Miss Zhou's sea of consciousness. Thus erasing the hidden danger and keeping the secret!"
At those words, Zhou Qingxuan's heart trembled.
It made sense for the Soul Compass to abandon her and seek out a more valuable target to do so.
The host before her, Chen Fuhai, had died in the chaotic battle in the Green Underworld Mysteries.
"Remembering that we have known each other for many years. Mister Lu negotiated with Soul Compass Senior before fighting for a ray of life for Miss Zhou."
Lu Changan explained the reason.
Beforehand, he had also considered the possibility of pretending to be a Soul Compass and directly intimidating and enslaving Zhou Qingxuan.
However, Lu Changan didn't have the abilities of the Hundred Soul Compulsions, so it would be easy for him to be exposed.
Once he did so, Zhou Qingxuan would demonize him and lose hope of surviving in the future.
Even if he appears to be submissive, he is secretly harboring ulterior motives, and may do something that will kill him and break the net.
At this moment, Lu Changan's established identity, which is separate from the Soul Compass, allows Zhou Qingxuan to see a glimmer of life.
"Fellow Daoist Lu's kindness in saving her life, Qingxuan is indebted and will never forget it."
Zhou Qingxuan knelt down and thanked him.
"Qingxuan is willing to be a servant girl and a concubine, and I ask for your help, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhou Qingxuan was deeply afraid of the restriction within her sea of consciousness.
Even if she managed to escape, she would automatically explode when the time limit was reached.
"Miss Zhou is a genius that is rare to see in the Zhou Family for a hundred years, and is expected to achieve pandan, her status is golden, so Mister Lu does not dare to offend."
Lu Changan smiled.
"To protect Miss Zhou, Mister Lu will have to pay an unknown price. Here, we might as well make a deal." "Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhou Qingxuan breathed a small sigh of relief.
Compared to the mysterious and terrifying Soul Compulsion, falling into Lu Changan's hands would give her a greater chance of survival.
"If Mister Lu is able to attain dan in the future, I am certain that I can return you to your free body. However, Miss Zhou must do the following two things:"
"First, Miss Zhou make a heart demonic oath to keep her mouth shut about the Soul Compass boarding Mister Lu."
"Secondly, for the next one year, Miss Zhou will be at the disposal of Mister Lu, and provide what help she can for the safety of my immortal cultivation, as well as the resources I need."
Lu Chang'an stated his conditions.
At this stage, it would be risky for him to kill Zhou Qingxuan, so he could only run away, far away from his country.
The oath of the Heart Demon, together with the double insurance of the compulsion ban, allowed Zhou Qingxuan to keep her secret, removing Lu Chang'an's worries.
At the same time, there was also an additional maid with False Dan combat power.
At the same time, there would be an additional maid with the power of a Pseudo-dan.
Zhou Qingxuan was not only a personal representative, but behind her was the Imperial Beast Zhou Family, a cultivation family that reigned supreme in Liang.
......
Zhou Qingxuan thought for a moment and agreed to the conditions.
"Qingxuan believes in the character of fellow Daoist Lu and will keep his word."
She surmised that she was valuable to Lu Chang'an and had no fear for her life in the short term.
Zhou Qingxuan saw the hope of life, as well as the chance to fight for it.
Afterwards, Zhou Qingxuan made the Heart Demon Oath in person.
"Miss Zhou has suffered."
Lu Changan walked over and dissolved the restrictions on Zhou Qingxuan's body, returning the storage bag and spirit pet bag to her.
Zhou Qingxuan recovered her mana and rose with a curtsy:
"From now on, Fellow Daoist Lu can use Qingxuan as a slave girl."
"Miss Zhou is not obliged to. In front of outsiders, don't reveal yourself."
Lu Changan reminded.
"Qingxuan knows."
Zhou Qingxuan smiled sweetly, surprised by Lu Changan's polite and courteous behavior.
Now, she was quite the fish on the chopping board.
Lu Chang'an could have taken whatever he wanted, but he didn't reveal his so-called "true colors" and acted in a rude manner.
Zhou Qingxuan was a little disappointed.
Zhou Qingxuan was a little disappointed in her heart. This meant that it was hard to find a breakthrough in Lu Chang'an.
In addition to her birth and strength, youthful beauty was also a weapon she could utilize.
"I'll arrange a guest room for you, first recuperate your injuries."
Lu Chang'an commanded.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Not long after, Zhou Qingxuan landed in the guest room at Little Turtle Peak.
"I forgot to tell Miss Zhou, although Mister Lu can't learn that compulsion restriction. But Soul Compulsion Senior has already shared the control method of the prohibition with me."
Before leaving, Lu Chang'an transmitted a voice to remind.
Inside the guest room, Zhou Qingxuan, who was alone, was silent for a long time, her bright and pure pretty face, flushed with a trace of bitterness and helplessness.
"For Lu Changan to be able to get along with the Hundred Lodging Soul Compass on an equal footing, and even borrow the latter's power, he is by no means an ordinary cultivator. If he is a generation of qi, he might really have hope to conjugate dan in the future......"
"Only, his cultivation speed is too slow!"
Zhou Qingxuan sighed and checked the storage bag and spirit pet bag on her body.
The items in the storage bag had obviously been rummaged through.
The spirit stones and most of the supplies were there.
Only a handful of items were missing, including a rare material for the Crystal Condensation Pill, two quasi-third-ranked beast skins, and several bottles of top-ranked second-ranked Beast Pill sustenance.
In the spirit pet bag, the sleeping and seriously injured quasi third-order spirit pet, as well as several other second-order pets, Lu Changan did not move.
These spirit pets were tamed and contracted by Zhou Qingxuan. Even if they were forcibly taken away by outsiders, they would not be able to transform their combat power in a short period of time.
"There are degrees of solicitation, at least they are people with a bottom line......"
Zhou Qingxuan's heart was a little more solid, taking a few pills to regulate her injuries.
......
A few days later.
Zhou Qingxuan's injuries had improved a bit, but the trauma in her Sea of Consciousness would take a long time to heal.
Lu Changan didn't want Zhou Qingxuan to stay in the cave for too long to avoid suspicion from the outside world.
In the secret room, the two of them talked for a long time. Lu Changan tried to ask about the Royal Beast Zhou Family, and Zhou Qingxuan knew everything.
For example, the Zhou Family's most powerful weapon was a third-ranked Zhen Clan Spirit Beast that was nearing the end of its lifespan.
For example, what other resources the clan has in its possession.
A few of them are beneficial to the Earth Rock Rat's bloodline and its future impact on the Third Stage.
Of course, Zhou Qingxuan couldn't move those treasured resources at will, and needed to apply for redemption, or else the Zhou Clan's senior management would notice.
Lu Changan was satisfied with Zhou Qingxuan's obedience and cooperation.
"Miss Zhou's injuries can't be healed in a short period of time, go to the Little Dan Peak afterward, or return to the clan to recuperate."
Lu Changan suggested.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, with our cooperative relationship, we will have to come and go in the future. Instead of being so deliberately evasive and careful, why don't we let go a bit!"
Zhou Qingxuan said with a smiling face.
She had just taken a bath, her slightly damp waterfall hair was draped around her waist, and her long goose-yellow dress was immaculate.
"What do you have in mind?"
"How about, I pretend to be fellow Daoist Lu's date?"
Zhou Qingxuan's pretty eyes blinked, and her bright and pure face, which could be blown apart, came over, sending out a fragrance as faint as that of a clear lotus.
"It's a thought."
Lu Changan pondered, did not immediately decided.
"Doing so, aren't you afraid that the Zhou family elders will have a problem with it?"
"In the Zhou Family, Qingxuan is the future ruler under one person and above ten thousand. As long as they aren't in a dao couple, they don't have much of an opinion when it comes to their private lives."
Zhou Qingxuan smiled brightly, her eyes pure and charming, holding onto Lu Changan's arm, her head snuggling into his arms.
"Miss Zhou was talking about pretending."
Lu Chang'an coldly said.
Zhou Qingxuan said quietly, "Naturally, my daughter wanted to play a more realistic role so as not to reveal herself in front of outsiders."
"Qingxuan has been practicing for more than a hundred years, and has taken the Resurfacing Pill to maintain her youthfulness, and is still intact. Pretending to be fellow Daoist Lu's love interest, I am inexperienced, so I will yield to fellow Daoist Lu."
"Do not condescend."
Lu Chang'an thought about it, and stroked on her small waist.
"Miss Zhou should think clearly, even if you pretend to be good, there is no additional benefit."
"As long as Fellow Daoist Lu is satisfied with my daughter's performance."
Zhou Qingxuan's pair of bright eyes flashed with a hazy watery light, her face flushed red, and she stood on her tiptoes.
The two of them embraced each other for a long time, Zhou Qingxuan reached out her hand at her waist, and her dress began to slip down.
"Miss Zhou's injuries have not healed."
Lu Chang'an shook his head and stopped her movement.
His physical body was strong and he didn't want to do that which wasn't enjoyable.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is compassionate, my daughter is delighted."
Zhou Qingxuan's eyes were clear and charming, her skirt was half undone, holding onto Lu Changan's legs, her exquisite and delicate curves, as if she was prostrate like a maid.
......
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan sent the yellow-skirted girl with a bright and moist face and cherry lips and jade teeth out of the cave.
"Miss Zhou will first go to Little Dan Peak to recuperate for some days, and then return to the clan when she has recovered most of her strength."
Lu Changan said.
"Listen to Fellow Daoist Lu's arrangement."
Zhou Qingxuan lightly covered her pink lips with the back of her hand and covered her mouth with a smile.
One month later.
Zhou Qingxuan, who had just recovered from her injuries, left Wu Qi Mountain.
The people on the mountain noticed that Lu Chang'an and Zhou Qingxuan's relationship had gotten closer than usual.
During this period, the late stage Foundation Establishment female elder of the Royal Beast Zhou Clan visited Little Turtle Peak several times.
However, the two of them had known each other for nearly a hundred years, so it didn't seem sudden.
......
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
There are no major events in the Liang Immortal Cultivation Realm, and all of the sect cultivators who went on the expedition to the Beacon Country have withdrawn to the mainland.
All the major sects began to reorganize their forces and issued missions to eliminate some of the evil cultivators who had gone out of their way.
Some of the small and medium sized Immortal Cultivation forces were liquidated by the sects because of their collusion.
The business of Wu Qi Mountain began to improve.
In these two years, Zhou Qingxuan came to Wu Qi Mountain several times, each time staying at Little Turtle Peak for a few days, showing an unusual relationship.
Every time he came over, Lu Chang'an would receive some cultivation resources or materials, at least the top grade of the second order to start with. The resources Zhou Qingxuan brought every time contained pills that promoted cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there was no shortage of high-quality pills.
Lu Chang'an understood that Zhou Qingxuan thought that she was slowing down her cultivation and wanted to help speed it up.
In fact, Lu Chang'an, who had reached the age of one hundred and thirty-seven, was getting closer and closer to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
His Body Refining Technique, his cultivation progress was even faster.
The third-order spirit sand stones that Shen Bixin had helped to collect back then had been mostly consumed.
On this day, Lu Changan's Cloud Sand Body Refining Technique, finally broke the shackles and cultivated to the highest seventh layer!
