Chapter 56: Sister, You Smell So Good, Is This the Smell of Lying?
Hearing that name again, Zhou Tong felt no ripples in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.
That woman surely didn’t think that as long as she destroyed the Joyful Union Sect, she could win back his heart, did she?
If that was the case, she was really daydreaming!
“Mo Liushu… what a detestable name!”
Lian Hanxing’s expression was disdainful, clearly already aware of her infamous reputation.
However, when she learned about Zhou Tong’s relationship with Mo Liushu prior, her entire demeanor became much more dejected.
“So this kid really isn’t from your own breeding, but rather something you snatched from someone else’s field!”
“I’ve said it countless times, he is born from my parents; there is no such thing as divine seed in this world! You’ve been brainwashed by that old guy!”
Mu Ran Ya got angry, nearly ready to make a move.
“Have you met his parents?”
Mu Ran Ya was momentarily stunned; not just her, even Zhou Tong himself hadn’t seen his parents.
This scene was noticed by Qian Miaoyu, who immediately broke into a cold sweat, as if she thought of something terrifying.
A natural supreme being!
Zhou Tong was very likely a natural supreme being.
Records in the imperial family stated that in the vast universe, over the trillion-year river of time, there are always strange substances capable of swallowing and producing spiritual energy. After a long evolution, they eventually take on human form and gain intelligence.
At this moment, a spiritually awakened being could rival a supreme being.
Legend has it that natural supreme beings do not age or die and always appear youthful.
Moreover, they cultivate internally, are well-versed in myriad paths; while they may look like an ordinary person, once they make a move, they can easily obliterate heaven and earth!
It all matched up perfectly!
Qian Miaoyu felt like she understood everything. Combined with the conversation between Mu Ran Ya and Lian Hanxing, she could boldly conclude that Zhou Tong was the spiritually awakened form of a divine seed, transformed into human shape and then picked up by Mo Liushu.
As for being expelled from the Jade Purity Sect and joining the Joyful Union Sect, that was just a natural supreme being experiencing the world, perfecting their path.
Once he completed the mundane journey and perfected his path, the world would see a great emperor!
The great emperor’s name would be Zhou Tong!
“I understand now, no wonder Mo Liushu is so eager to claim Zhou Tong back; she wants to form a connection with the natural supreme being. That dog truly has a good scheme!”
Just thinking about it made her chest tingle with anger.
You, Mo Liushu, coveting wealth and wanting to attach yourself to the supreme is one thing, but why drag the Soaring Empire into this, confronting a future emperor head-on? Does the empire even have that strength?
Does Mo Liushu even know how terrifying future Zhou Tong could be?
Right, she doesn’t know.
But Qian Miaoyu knows very well!
With a casual wave, pulling down the stars and obliterating everything, how domineering and terrifying is that?
Countless living beings turned to dust, top warriors became ants, obliterated completely in an instant!
What a scene of despair that would be.
No matter what, Qian Miaoyu could not let that scene happen.
However, she did not know how outrageous her imagination was.
If Zhou Tong were to search her soul, he would probably laugh to death.
His strength came completely from the accumulation of the past life, having nothing to do with being a natural supreme being.
“Please let me go; I’m just an average-looking, ordinary empress; how could I dare to scheme against you? I am also forced into this!”
She said pitifully, making the onlookers gasp in shock.
“This guy is actually the empress of the Soaring Empire!”
The Little Demoness gaped, feeling a sense of unreality.
The dignified empress personally going undercover, does she really not know how to write the word ‘death’?
“She’s very suspicious.”
Lian Hanxing leaned closer, her cheek resting against Qian Miaoyu’s fragrant neck, delicately sniffing something.
“Sister… you smell so good.”
Qian Miaoyu’s skin crawled; before she could speak to stop her, Lian Hanxing’s voice turned cold.
“You wouldn’t be hiding something from us, would you?”
“N-no… ah!!!”
Qian Miaoyu screamed as Lian Hanxing playfully flicked her pink tongue and licked her face.
“This is the smell of lying!”
Lian Hanxing’s gaze suddenly sharpened as she said to Zhou Tong, “Kid, search her soul!”
“N-no… please don’t do that to me; I am the ruler of the empire, bearing the lives of millions of citizens; if I die, my people will be slaughtered and bullied by foreign tribes!”
“Why should I care?”
“You… I know that you are all conscientious cultivators; you would never be so cruel.”
“Hehe… moral kidnapping? Do you think I have morals? My conscience is very corrupt! Don’t believe me? Come touch!”
Lian Hanxing smiled wickedly, puffing up her chest against her. The two were face to face, causing the dignified empress to blush.
“Stop messing around.”
Mu Ran Ya stopped Lian Hanxing; upon learning Qian Miaoyu’s identity, she no longer wanted to make things difficult for her.
After all, she was the nominal owner of this land. If she could gain her assistance, the process of rescuing her eldest disciple would become much smoother.
“What is your relationship with Zhao Wutian?”
“He is my Grand Preceptor, how—”
Before she could finish, Qian Miaoyu suddenly felt a chilling killing intent.
“Actually, I’m not too familiar with that guy either; he always acts like he’s above everyone else. I’ve looked down on him for a long time; if it weren’t for my concerns about the Heavenly Dao Mansion, I would have wiped him out hundreds of times already!”
“We can help you deal with him, but the premise is, you must cooperate with us!”
Mu Ran Ya locked eyes with her, her tone slow and heavy as she laid out the requirement.
“No problem, I agree!”
Qian Miaoyu didn’t hesitate at all, her gaze turning to Zhou Tong, “If possible, please… become my Guest Senior; this way, we can communicate and cooperate better!”
To change the future from her dream, she was determined to take the initiative, and the first step was to build a good relationship with Zhou Tong.
Hearing this, Zhou Tong and the others exchanged glances, not expecting her to make such a request.
Being a Guest Senior is not a subordinate relationship, but more like a cooperative one—coming and going as they please, quite relaxed and free.
Upon thinking carefully, they had no reason to refuse.
“Consider it passed.”
With a wave, Lian Hanxing let her down.
“From now on, we are friends, right?” Qian Miaoyu asked eagerly, as if this question was very important to her.
“Of course.”
“You won’t turn against friends in the future, will you?”
“As long as you don’t actively become an enemy, we will always be friends.”
Zhou Tong made this promise, allowing her to completely breathe a sigh of relief.
Soon after, Zhou Tong clapped his hands, and the surrounding white space began to dissipate as they returned to reality.
“What is this…?”
“Don’t be so surprised,” Zhou Tong said to Qian Miaoyu, “the space just now was set up by me using a formation; you can think of it as a spatial ring.”
Qian Miaoyu was shocked.
All-encompassing, this was indeed the method of a natural supreme being.
Suddenly, Zhou Tong raised an eyebrow and revealed a hint of a smile.
“You all can leave, Zhao Wutian is coming; only I and Her Majesty will stay here!”
