I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 351 I'd like to borrow him for a bit, you don't mind, do you? (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Fairy Shuyu and Daoist Qingyu were studying the newly made pills and didn't notice why Fairy Yunya's complexion was so rosy.

Upon seeing her arrive, Fairy Shuyu felt as if she had been freed from all restraint, no longer needing to pay attention to Daoist Qingyu's overly familiar attempts to strike up a conversation.

"Yunya, these pills are all thanks to your care. Here are half of them."

As she spoke, Fairy Shuyu generously handed over several exquisite medicine bottles.

"I only helped you watch the alchemy furnace for a while, there's no need to give me so much, just give me one or two pills."

Fairy Yunya was being rather tactful; her best friend had indeed given her too much.

At this moment, Fairy Shuyu showed her rather forceful side, insisting on giving it to her. Since her strength was undeniable, Fairy Yunya had no choice but to accept it with some reluctance.

Whenever the two women started chatting, Qingyu Daoren was ignored, but he didn't mind; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

These two fairies are so beautiful that just looking at them can make one feel happy, let alone having one of them by one's side.

Qingyu Daoren felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life. He asked the world, how many men could stand here?
But his dream of reaching the pinnacle was soon shattered, as a series of clear footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Everyone turned to look at the figure, and saw a tall, slender figure walking on divine light.

The man was dressed in a long, dark robe that fluttered without wind. A faint Daoist aura seemed to emanate from him, and with each step he took, illusory lotus shadows would appear beneath his feet, vanishing in an instant.

His face was as handsome as an immortal, and his whole being exuded a transcendent aura, as if he were out of place in this world, yet above all things.

The composed expression on Qingyu Daoren's face faltered slightly, and the folding fan in his hand paused unconsciously.

He prided himself on his elegant demeanor and profound cultivation, considering himself an outstanding figure even among quasi-saints. Yet, compared to the person before him, he inexplicably felt a sense of inferiority.

The quasi-saintly aura that Qingyu Daoren was so proud of melted away silently in front of Li Chen, like a spring breeze and rain.

"This kid has some skill." The originally indifferent gaze of Daoist Qingyu unconsciously turned serious.

The usually aloof Fairy Shuyu's eyes lit up slightly the moment she saw Li Chen, but quickly returned to normal. However, she unconsciously pursed her lips, as if suppressing some emotion.

A hint of resentment flashed in Fairy Yunya's eyes, perhaps because of her recent madness, which made her feel that Li Chen had gone too far!

Li Chen's gaze swept over the crowd indifferently, finally landing on Fairy Shuyu, and he smiled slightly: "We've finally waited for Sister Shuyu to return."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Shuyu immediately stepped forward and, following proper etiquette, invited Li Chen into the house.

"Sorry, I have some business to attend to in the East China Sea recently. Let me explain to you."

There were people inside the room, and as the middleman between the two sides, Fairy Shuyu would certainly have to introduce them.

Just as Li Chen was about to introduce Fairy Yunya, he waved his hand and said, "I've met Sister Yunya before. She was the one who hosted me when I came here a few days ago."

When Li Chen said "entertainment," his tone was a little strange, which made Yun Ya glare at him. However, Yun Ya was a beautiful fairy, so it looked like she was flirting.

Fairy Shuyu and Daoist Qingyu had no idea what Li Chen meant by "invitation".

Since Fairy Yunya and Li Chen know each other, there's no need for introductions.

When introducing Qingyu Daoren, Fairy Shuyu mentioned him casually and didn't even go into detail.

What she really meant was that she felt Qingyu Daoren was in the way, but Qingyu Daoren was shameless. Since his Daoist partner was here, Fairy Shuyu couldn't very well drive him away, so he just stayed there.

Fairy Shuyu was very curious: since Li Chen had already been here, where had he been these past few days?
Li Chen said that he was bored and went to the coastal area.

When it came to the East Sea, Fairy Shuyu had a lot to say and began to talk on and on.

Qingyu Daoren noticed that the usually aloof Fairy Shuyu was getting along very well with this 'junior'.

In front of this younger generation, Fairy Shuyu was truly like an older sister.

Perhaps they are from the same family? The two fairies chatted and laughed with Li Chen, and Qingyu Daoren tried to join in the conversation several times, but each time the conversation fell silent.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to say: Get out of here now.

But Daoist Qingyu stood there as if he were unmoved, like a piece of wood.

It was almost lunchtime, and Fairy Shuyu couldn't very well send Qingyu Daoren away, so she invited him to eat in the hall.

Upon hearing this, Qingyu Daoren thought, "I can have dinner with my goddess? Of course, I'd gladly agree."

During dinner, Qingyu Daoren felt like an 'outsider'.

Fairy Shuyu showed concern for Li Chen by serving him food, which Qingyu Daoren understood, as he believed the two were related by blood.

But his Daoist partner seemed to take even better care of Li Chen, even peeling fish bones for him.

This puzzled Qingyu Daoren; she had never seemed so gentle with him before.

Then Fairy Yunya went further and further astray, even starting to get closer to Li Chen.

A smile appeared on Qingyu Daoren's lips; he had gained wisdom at this moment.

He felt that his Daoist partner must have seen him trying to please Fairy Shuyu and started doing the same thing to annoy him.

If I get angry, wouldn't that make me seem petty?

Thinking about this, Daoist Qingyu even felt that his Daoist partner was a bit pretentious and petty.

Qingyu Daoren completely ignored any of Yunya Fairy's actions, demonstrating the demeanor of a member of the immortal sect.

Fairy Yunya grew angrier the more she looked. "You can't even see what I'm doing, can you?"
After they had almost finished eating, Fairy Yunya took Li Chen's hand and said to Fairy Shuyu, "I'd like to borrow him for a moment. You don't mind, do you?"

These words made Fairy Shuyu a little embarrassed. He's not mine, so why are you telling me if you're borrowing him?

And why would you borrow Li Chen?
Following Fairy Yunya's gaze, Fairy Shuyu noticed that she was looking at Daoist Qingyu.

She immediately understood; her best friend was using Li Chen to annoy his Daoist partner.

Qingyu Daoren had already 'seen through' this point, and showed a calm and composed expression.

He was practically saying to Li Chen: "Please use it."

Li Chen was puzzled. What was going on? Did Fairy Yunya have a conflict with her Daoist partner?
"As long as he agrees to this, why are you asking me?"

Fairy Shuyu started shifting the blame, saying, "You two are having a secret battle, don't drag me into it."

Li Chen naturally agreed, because he knew what to do next.

Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's definitely time to get some exercise.

Fairy Yunya left hand in hand with Li Chen right in front of her Daoist partner.

After they left, Fairy Shuyu asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Master Qingyu adopted an attitude of knowing everything and said in a serious tone, "How can we cultivators be narrow-minded?"

His statement did indeed have a hint of showing off, and it was also an attempt to display his elegance in front of Fairy Shuyu.

Qingyu Daoren didn't think his Daoist partner could have anything happen with Li Chen; he knew his Daoist partner very well.

To this day, he still treats Li Chen as a junior.

What he didn't know was that Fairy Yunya didn't treat Li Chen as a junior.
