This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Of course, such a melodramatic plot might not actually happen in this world.

If an ordinary mortal isn't being schemed against, then based on Zhong Bai's current assessment of Yang Chan, it's as if Yang Chan is blind, or Liu Yanchang's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke.

Anyway, Zhong Bai felt that the first possibility was more likely.

While he was pondering this, Zhong Bai didn't notice that Yang Chan's gaze towards him had become strange.

"This guy is acting strangely. Liu Yanchang, that name sends chills down my spine. He's definitely not a good person!"

Thinking this to herself, Yang Chan patted Zhong Bai on the back and said, "Zhong Bai, you definitely know something, but this fairy doesn't need to know. Liu Yanchang, right? If this person ever appears, this fairy will send him to the underworld immediately."

amount……

Zhong Bai was a little stunned. Well, whatever, it's just Liu Yanchang, what's the big deal!

“Fairy Yang Chan, hand her over to me when you go down to the underworld, and I guarantee she’ll have to go through the eighteen levels of hell.”

Zhong Bai smiled, while Yang Chan's previously calm face suddenly changed, and she gave a witty smile.

"Hahaha, you finally slipped up. So you're saying Liu Yanchang isn't a good person?"

Hmph!

Zhong Bai was speechless...

"Let's not talk about this person anymore, Fairy Yang Chan, your Snow Reflection Palace is really deserted."

Zhong Bai changed the subject, and as he spoke, he walked towards the palace gate.

Yang Chan did not refute after hearing this. There were very few people in the entire Xueying Palace. Apart from a few maids, there was nothing else. It was naturally deserted.

Following Zhong Bai, after exiting the palace gate, Zhong Bai looked down and saw that the entire Xueying Palace was suspended on the top of Mount Hua, while the Holy Mother Temple was located on the mountainside.

It was dawn, and the light shone on the earth, falling on Zhong Bai and Yang Chan's faces. Seeing Zhong Bai's excited expression, Yang Chan couldn't help but smile.

"Actually, I envy you quite a bit, being so free and unrestrained..."

Yang Chan, no longer ethereal, sat down beside Zhong Bai like an ordinary mortal, her hands cupping her head, letting the sunlight bathe her, while gazing at the distant sky and earth.

Zhong Bai sensed the faint pessimism in Yang Chan's eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

Sitting down next to Yang Chan, Zhong Bai stretched and casually looked at Yang Chan's stunning profile before shaking his head and saying, "Why doesn't Fairy Yang Chan eat meat porridge?"
Is there any absolute freedom in this world?

After finishing his sentence, Zhong Bai continued, "Has Fairy Yang Chan ever traveled to the mortal realm for a short stay?"

Yang Chan shook her head.

"Never before..."

"Zhong Bai, why don't you accompany this fairy on a trip? Consider it interest on the money you earned from killing those shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

Zhong Bai was stunned for a moment, unsure how to reply.

"Alas, Your status is special, Fairy. If I were to take you to the mortal realm, and if Erlang Shenzhenjun were to find out, it would be a matter of life and death."

"It's alright, I'm here. My second brother won't do anything to you."

"You really want to go?"

Zhong Bai's tone became serious.

"Yes, I want to go and see. There's also the saying that a day in heaven is a year on earth. My second brother went to heaven for some time recently. By the time he returned to Meishan, we would have already come back."

Are you really scared?

"Cough cough, that's not the case. Let alone just taking you down the mountain, I wouldn't be afraid to marry you. You're just Erlang Shen. At worst, I'll just cling to your leg."

Yang Chan burst out laughing after hearing this.

"Think beautifully!"

Zhong Bai nodded, "That's wishful thinking. Besides, I already have a Daoist partner and a sweet little girl."

"real or fake?"

Yang Chan immediately became interested. People are rebellious by nature. From childhood to adulthood, Yang Chan had heard the most that she should not fall in love. But it is better to guide than to suppress. After a while, Yang Chan also wanted to know what love between men and women was really like.

Of course, this is just a hobby and does not mean that she wants to have a romantic relationship.

"Of course it's true!"

Zhong Bai didn't hold back and chatted with Yang Chan about his experiences during this time, from the zombie world to Mo Ling and Zhao Ling'er, and then to the Earthly Immortal Realm. Yang Chan's eyes lit up as she listened.

"hiss!

You say your daughter is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden? That doesn't make sense; the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has never heard of any reincarnation.

Zhong Bai rolled his eyes.

"You spend all your time in Xueying Palace, what could you possibly know? Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore..."

Speaking of this, Zhong Bai felt uncomfortable.

For most people, having children who are reincarnations of gods would be a wonderful thing. But Zhong Bai is different. Right now, he is truly enjoying the happiness of having a daughter. However, if one day the little girl awakens her innate wisdom, it's uncertain whether Zhong Bai will still be able to see her.

Besides, that pure father-daughter affection...

Seeing Zhong Bai become gloomy, Yang Chan's smile became even more pronounced.

"Hey, hey, hey, Fairy Yang Chan, don't laugh so hard. Is this really that funny?"
It's almost become a deep-seated resentment.

"Yeah, I'm not kidding, I just think you're really real right now. You're not just a talented Maoshan disciple, but also a father with a lot of worries."

"You flatter me, fairy..."

Zhong Bai stood up, the long-hidden frustration in his heart resurfacing, and he no longer wanted to continue the conversation.

"Whether or not I go down the mountain is another matter. Let's borrow your Snow Reflection Palace to cultivate for a while first."

"Is Fairy Yang Chan alright?"

Yang Chan also stood up and nodded.

"Please do as you wish, but only if you are not afraid that my second brother will descend to the mortal realm ahead of time."

"Tsk tsk, if my second brother catches you, you're definitely in for it!"

Hearing Yang Chan's teasing, Zhong Bai didn't take it to heart. Erlang Shen was indeed formidable, but Zhong Bai had his own advantages. Given some time, Zhong Bai felt that surpassing Erlang Shen wouldn't be a problem.

......................................................

Upon arriving at Xueying Palace, Zhong Bai sat cross-legged, ignoring Yang Chan who had followed him in, as this was their territory.

Looking at the demon-slaying panel in front of him, Zhong Bai's smile finally dispelled his frustration for a moment.

"A full 18,000 demon-slaying points!"

Current Demon Extermination Points: 18008

After a brief moment of calm, Zhong Bai didn't hesitate to add some points to the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique!

[Consumes 3000 Demon Exorcism Points to upgrade the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique to the mid-stage of the first level]

[Consumes 6000 Demon Exorcism Points to upgrade the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique to the late stage of the first level]

[Consuming 9000 Demon Exorcism Points to upgrade the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique to the peak of the first level]

[Current remaining demon-slaying points: 1008]

boom!
As Zhong Bai arrived, the immortal energy within his body continuously increased, and his bones and flesh underwent rapid transformation, causing his aura to rise simultaneously. Inside the Snow Reflection Palace, the blood and energy that Zhong Bai unintentionally released made the entire palace blaze with heat.

Yang Chan was not far from Zhong Bai, but at this moment she had a look of disbelief on her face.

Shock, disbelief...

"exaggerate!"

After regaining her senses, Yang Chan immediately summoned the Lotus Lantern in her hand, which transformed into a stream of light that enveloped the entire Mount Hua. Everything in Xueying Palace, including the terrifying blood energy within Zhong Bai's body, did not even cause a ripple.

As Yang Chan watched Zhong Bai's aura rise steadily, her gaze towards him held not only admiration but also a strong desire to explore.

"Eight-Nine Arcane Arts!"
My second brother also cultivates the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, but his methods are definitely not as outrageous, bizarre, or mysterious as this!
Tsk tsk tsk, interesting.

The calm lake in Yang Chan's heart was slightly rippled after Zhong Bai's arrival and conversation. At this moment, Zhong Bai's mystery, like a pebble, finally stirred up waves in Yang Chan's heart.

Zhong Bai was unaware of these things, nor did he intend to hide his breakthrough.

Since there's nowhere to hide it, it's better to just show it openly. Anyway, no one can know the state of the exorcism panel. Even if they're surprised, they can only be surprised. What else can they do?
Although the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind, certain talents and mystique can attract more attention. There are both advantages and disadvantages; it all depends on how Zhong Bai manages them.

The aura within his body continued to rise, from mid-stage Human Immortal to late-stage Human Immortal, and finally to peak Human Immortal!
It wasn't until Zhong Bai absorbed the insights of the first peak of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts that the aura within his body stopped rising. At the same time, the increase in streams of immortal energy made Zhong Bai's demeanor more profound.

The insights gained from the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts lingered in his mind as time passed by, ten days later.

Zhong Bai, who had been silent, opened his eyes and saw Yang Chan right in front of him, face to face, only inches apart...

Zhong Bai could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from Yang Chan. Her fair and delicate face, as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and her beautiful eyes, which held a hint of exploration amidst their coolness, were incredibly alluring. Her warm breath brushed against Zhong Bai's face, creating an irresistible temptation...

"Ahem, Fairy Yang Chan, have you seen enough?"

As Zhong Bai asked the question, Yang Chan not only didn't feel anything ambiguous, but she also put her two jade-like arms on Zhong Bai's shoulders, staring intently at him as if trying to see through him.

Unfortunately, Zhong Bai remained unmoved and even brazenly began to scrutinize Yang Chan.

Full breasts, slender waist... Well, how do I know she's slender? The reason is simple: Yang Chan put her arms on Zhong Bai's shoulders, and Zhong Bai, not to be outdone, wrapped his large hands around Yang Chan's waist.

Zhong Bai originally thought that Yang Chan would definitely let go and back away, but Yang Chan seemed not to care at all, staring intently at Zhong Bai's eyes that were looking her up and down but not meeting her gaze.

"I'll give you a chance. Tell me honestly, what secret are you hiding?"

Yang Chan immediately asked about the secret, leaving Zhong Bai speechless. No normal person would admit to or even tell you that.

"Um... Fairy, please stop fooling around. It's true that I have a Daoist partner, but if you get this close, what if my mind isn't strong enough and I make a mistake?"

Yang Chan still had an indifferent expression.

"I'll give you a chance. Let this fairy see what mistakes you can make!"

One second, two seconds... ten seconds, Zhong Bai's eyes were filled with helplessness.

Yang Chan smiled triumphantly, like a victorious general.

"I'm sorry you don't dare!"

These words, once spoken, made Zhong Bai unable to hold back any longer. His pride surged up, and with a determined heart, he forcefully pulled Yang Chan into his arms, then leaned forward and their lips met.

Throughout the entire process, Yang Chan's initial smugness vanished in an instant, leaving her staring blankly...

Driven by a desire for revenge and a "what the hell, I'll take advantage of it" mentality, Zhong Bai directly pried open Yang Chan's door and launched a verbal assault.

"Uh...uh..."

Yang Chan's body, which had been tense and blank at the beginning, gradually became as soft as water.

A minute later, Yang Chan finally came to her senses and broke free from Zhong Bai's restraints without hesitation. Her fair fingers clenched into fists, and the moment she opened the distance, her small fist slammed down!
Zhong Bai felt a terrifying force strike him. Even though he had reached the peak of the first level of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he was still blasted away and slammed heavily against the wall of Xueying Palace.

"You bastard! You actually dared to do that!"

Yang Chan stood up, feeling the lingering warmth of her lips. Her originally fair face quickly flushed red, and her ears turned bright red as well.

And Zhong Bai...

It's really stuck in the wall right now, and you can't pry it off.

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhong Bai coughed incessantly, his internal organs aching in waves. Hmm, at least three of his ribs were broken.

He looked at Yang Chan with a resentful gaze. This woman really knows how to hit!

As if sensing Zhong Bai's resentful gaze, Yang Chan, without even paying attention to Zhong Bai's current state, preemptively said, "I just wanted to provoke you, and you actually dared to do it for real. Are you feeling good now?"

Seeing that Zhong Bai didn't say anything in rebuttal, Yang Chan noticed the blood overflowing from the corner of Zhong Bai's mouth.

Her heart tightened instantly, and her anger vanished. She quickly went to Zhong Bai and carefully pulled him out. Then she examined Zhong Bai's injuries. Hmm, they were even more serious than when he was captured.

"That punch of yours almost killed me."

Zhong Bai said solemnly.

Okay, I'm a little unsure...

Yang Chan ignored Zhong Bai's accusations, took out a jade bottle from her bosom, and poured out a pill that was noticeably more fragrant than the last one.

"Eat up, that won't shut you up!"

After saying that, Yang Chan held the pill to Zhong Bai's lips. Looking at his still slightly moist lips, his neck and face became even more rosy.

After hesitating for a moment, he forcibly pried open Zhong Bai's mouth and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

Although Zhong Bai lacked the strength to resist, he still had to show some attitude.

Brush it!
Before Yang Chan could react, Zhong Bai sucked on her finger...

"Zhong Bai!"

Yang Chan, who was initially feeling somewhat guilty and shy, instantly exploded with anger. If Zhong Bai hadn't already been injured, she would have made sure he suffered a terrible fate!
......................................................

An hour later.

Zhong Bai stood up and stretched his limbs. Not bad, the pill Yang Chan gave him was very effective!
The two stared at each other, neither willing to concede.

"Zhong Bai, shall we go down the mountain?"

Yang Chan originally wanted to wait for Zhong Bai to speak first, but Zhong Bai just stared at her with that resentful yet smug look and didn't say a word.

So she took the initiative to change the subject.

"Go down the mountain?"
"Farewell, Fairy Yang Chan is incredibly powerful. I'm afraid that if I follow her down the mountain, I might be blown from the Eastern Continent to the Southern Continent."

Yang Chan was speechless.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I am a Golden Immortal, after all. If I really throw a punch, I guarantee you won't even have any dust left."

Zhong Bai doesn't laugh...

Sigh, once upon a time, Zhong Bai was that dashing, arrogant, and incredibly talented genius, a cheat code.

But with Yang Chan, a second-generation immortal, Zhong Bai became obedient after just one punch.

Well, it wasn't a bad deal, Zhong Bai comforted himself. He got it in exchange for Yang Chan's sweet and soft kiss. Who else would have that chance?

For some reason, Zhong Bai was a chauvinist when facing Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling, as if he were protecting a precious treasure. But when facing Yang Chan, Zhong Bai seemed to have returned to the Blue Star before he traveled there.

They joked and played around without any inhibitions, without any persona, arrogance, or pretense... (End of Chapter)
