Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 762 I spoil you so you can be arrogant; otherwise, you'll get whipped!

The four-poster dragon and phoenix bed had gauze curtains hanging down on all four sides without wind. Under the lamplight, the shadows of people were indistinct, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female.

This is truly a scene where the water before the sunset resembles the sky, and the red gauze curtains are adorned with jade-like smoke.

For Gao Dongxu, this was undoubtedly a magical encounter. Everything was so incredible, giving him the feeling of "after passing through mountains and rivers, one finds a new path."

At the same time, one can't help but lament that Zhang Manyue's immortality is nothing more than a pear blossom battered by rain, a closed door, a forgetting of youth, and a wasted youth.

Ultimately, snowflakes remain untouched by the mortal world, and worldly legends are not worth discussing. Gao Dongxu's life is complicated and he is extremely busy, spending his remaining years admiring the full moon in his old age.

After a long and in-depth conversation with Jang Manyue, Gao Dongxu had just fallen asleep in the arms of the unconscious Jang Manyue when he began to dream. He dreamt of lying awake at night listening to the wind and rain, and of iron horses and icy rivers.

In his dream, he was an observer, watching all of Zhang Manyue's loves, hates, joys, and sorrows.

A thousand years ago, Jang Man-wol was just a thief trying to survive, living a life of robbing the rich to help the poor, until she met the male lead, who was a princess's bodyguard. Although good and evil are irreconcilable, Jang Man-wol and the male lead still became friends, and Jang Man-wol, the male lead and the second male lead spent a very pleasant time together.

However, this happy period didn't last long. The princess found out that the male lead was connected to Jang Man-wol and others. In order to protect the people around him, the male lead had no choice but to lead troops to besiege Jang Man-wol and the second male lead's group. The male lead became a traitor in Jang Man-wol's heart.

Later, Jang Man-wol ended the male lead's life with her own hands. The male lead did not offer any explanation. Because Jang Man-wol harbored hatred in her heart, she was determined to live and avenge her subordinates.

Even though the male lead is dead, Jang Manyue is bound to the Moon Inn by the Moon Spirit Tree to atone for her sins because of the heavy amount of killings she has committed.

A thousand years have passed, but Zhang Manyue still cannot let go of what happened, and therefore cannot leave the Moon Inn.

Only when Zhang Manyue has completely let go of her resentment will the Moon Spirit Tree sprout and bloom. When the flowers of the Moon Spirit Tree wither, that will be the time for Zhang Manyue to leave.

However, a thousand years passed and the Moon Tree remained unchanged until Gao Dongxu appeared, causing the Moon Spirit Tree to sprout.

As an observer, Gao Dongxu watched Zhang Manyue's different appearances and attire from one era to the next, as if he were taking a quick look at a series of photos.

It must be said that she is very versatile and can portray all kinds of styles to the fullest.

Yes, he's had a tough time too.

The next morning, Gao Dongxu opened his eyes and found that Zhang Manyue was nowhere to be found. He reached out and touched the blanket, which was still warm.

Gao Dongxu couldn't help but smile slightly, got up and put on his wrinkled bathrobe, released his divine sense and contacted the Moon Spirit Tree.

He walked to the door and opened it. Outside was a stone moon gate, and the Moon Spirit Tree, covered with green leaves, swayed in the still wind, making a pleasant rustling sound, as if it couldn't wait to ask him if he was satisfied with the gift.

Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and smiled, a sly glint in his eyes.

He had a small bottle of spirit liquid in his hand. He stepped forward and poured the spirit liquid onto the dry trunk of the Moon Spirit Tree.

"Shh shh shh—"

After watching this, Gao Dongxu seemed to shudder and began to frantically shake the branches and leaves.

"More, more..."

The Moon Spirit Tree repeatedly conveyed its frantic urgency to Gao Dongxu through its thoughts.

Gao Dongxu shrugged helplessly and said to the Moon Spirit Tree, "That's all. You should understand better than anyone how precious this spiritual liquid is. Even when there is spiritual energy in the world, this spiritual liquid is something that can only be encountered by chance."

"Spiritual energy—spiritual energy—"

The Moon Spirit Tree, as a second-best option, transmitted urgent thoughts.

Gao Dongxu smiled and said, "That's right, I can indeed cultivate and use spiritual energy. However, the spiritual liquid I'm giving you far exceeds the gift you gave me."

"If you want me to continue nourishing you with spiritual energy, you'll need to offer something compelling in exchange. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Shh shh shh—"

The Moon Spirit Tree shook its leaves and branches frantically, as if it were in a great hurry.

Because, in the Moon Spirit Tree’s view, it no longer had any bargaining chips to make Gao Dongxu willingly contribute the spiritual energy he had painstakingly cultivated to it.

To be honest, the Moon Spirit Tree knew it had made a huge profit by using Zhang Manyue as its spokesperson in exchange for a small bottle of spiritual liquid, which made it even more eager.

The merit gained from cleansing vengeful spirits and evil ghosts of their resentment and hatred is only enough for them to barely survive. To grow, they need spiritual energy.

Spiritual energy is the foundation of humans, demons, spirits, and monsters.

Previously, having never encountered anyone capable of cultivating spiritual energy, they assumed that in the Dharma-ending Age, there was no spiritual energy to speak of, and that for the divine tree, simply finding a way to survive was already quite remarkable.

For over a thousand years, the Moon Spirit Tree has witnessed countless rare treasures similar to itself slowly die as their spiritual energy dwindles. While the Moon Spirit Tree was struggling with its dilemma, Gao Dongxu had already made his plans.

The so-called exchange of bargaining chips was merely something Gao Dongxu deliberately proposed to make things difficult for Yue Lingshu.

His real purpose was the Moon Spirit Tree.

Yes, what Gao Dongxu truly cared about was the Moon Spirit Tree.

Since the Moon Spirit Tree is a branch of the sacred laurel tree in Chinese legend, it should naturally return to its homeland. The Koreans are not worthy of the sacred tree's cleansing of their resentment.

"what do you want?"

“I want you. If you are willing, I will take you back to the Celestial Empire and give you the most fertile land. Every now and then, I can give you a small bottle of spiritual liquid for your cultivation.”

Faced with the Moon Spirit Tree's question, Gao Dongxu didn't hide anything but directly stated his purpose, unafraid of the Moon Spirit Tree's rejection.

After all, he was the one who held absolute initiative. As long as the Moon Spirit Tree had any requests, he could easily control it.

"Shh shh shh—"

The Moon Spirit Tree swayed even more violently.

brush--

At this moment, Jang Man-wol, dressed in a white princess dress, suddenly appeared under the tree with a cold face. Looking at the wildly swaying and restless Moon Spirit Tree, Jang Man-wol glared at Go Dong-wook, who had a smile on his face and eyes full of admiration and reminiscence, and asked in Chinese with a coquettish tone, "What did you do to the divine tree?"

"Hehe, I don't even know how to answer that question. What could I do to a tree? I'm not some Indian with some special fetish." Gao Dongxu looked at the aloof Zhang Manyue, whose beautiful eyes were filled with shyness, and teased her by raising an eyebrow.

"you--"

It seems Zhang Manyue also knows Ah San's character; a look of shame and anger appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

Gao Dongxu smiled and said to the divine tree, "You can think about it. I'm not in a hurry. If you've made up your mind, you can come to me. But if you want to bargain with me, then you'd better not come to me."

"Shh shh shh—"

Zhang Manyue's expression changed immediately upon seeing the Moon Spirit Tree's violent reaction. The next moment, she appeared in front of Gao Dongxu with a cold and pretty face. Compared to him, she looked petite and delicate. She reached out and grabbed Gao Dongxu's robe collar, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity and the shame and anger of Gao Dongxu for ignoring her just now.

Gao Dongxu smiled and looked down at the fair hand that was grabbing his collar. He looked at her pretty face and they looked into each other's eyes. He smiled and said, "You are indeed very good-looking. I am very happy and I like your petite figure. However, this does not mean that you can boss me around."

"You!" Zhang Manyue looked at Gao Dongxu in disbelief, feeling both ashamed and angry. He had been a lamb to the slaughter before, but now he was acting so arrogantly.

This Chinese man, does he think that just because I taught him a lesson, he can turn the tables on me?
Ridiculous Chinese men—

Thinking of this, Zhang Manyue was so angry she laughed. She was both ashamed and annoyed, and she sneered with disdain, "Do you want to die?"

"Pfft-"

"Did you enjoy it to death?" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and continued to tease with a wicked smile.

Zhang Manyue was both ashamed and angry. Her face was as cold as frost as she said in a low voice, "I hope you won't regret this—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jang Manyue activated her telekinetic power, intending to throw Go Dong-wook away.

However, it was all for naught; Gao Dongxu smiled and remained unmoved.

"You?!" Zhang Manyue's expression changed, staring at Gao Dongxu with shock and suspicion. "Who exactly are you?"

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on me must be punished!
Looking down at Zhang Manyue, whose expression had changed drastically and who had instinctively taken a step back, Gao Dongxu grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms with a cold smile, and threw her to the ground. In front of the Moon Spirit Tree, he began to punish her severely.

Zhang Manyue was horrified to discover that she could no longer use her abilities. Looking incredulously at the Moon Spirit Tree, now silent and no longer swaying, she asked in a trembling voice, "Why?!"

An hour later, Zhang Manyue stared blankly up at the Moon Spirit Tree, which was swaying gently without any wind, her fiery red lips repeatedly muttering, "Why?"

It sounded like an interrogation.

At the same time, the doors of Hotel Del Luna were pushed open, and Goo Yeon, the head of the crisis management team, dressed in a black and white striped suit, with short pink hair and wearing a name tag, led three of her subordinates into the hotel.

It must be said that Goo Yeon's beauty is not an unconventional and stunning look, but rather a harmonious blend of features that are individually beautiful and, when put together, create a perfectly natural whole.

Her full, apple-shaped cheeks exuded a youthful charm, while the slightly upturned corners of her eyes added a touch of liveliness. Her nose was straight yet not sharp, and her lips were soft yet three-dimensional. This flawless beauty left even the hotel's senior manager, who hurried forward to greet her, utterly amazed.
