Chapter 181 A Small Step in the Primordial World’s Correction

“Ling’e told me that you would be nervous when you interact with women in front of others.”

Jiu Jiu sat on the railing of the treasure ship. She carried a huge gourd on her back and swayed her feet gently. Behind her was a colorful array formation wall. She held a few wine spirit bean pills in her hand and casually tossed one of them. She raised her head and opened her mouth…

There was a loud sound.

“Although I admit that I don’t have much feminine charm, I’m still considered a woman. Therefore, I endured it and didn’t ask you to play.”

When Xiong Lingli heard that, she lowered her head and looked at her muscles. She hung her head low silently and hugged herself tightly.

Li Changshou, who was meditating in the corner, could not help but laugh bitterly… Aunt-Master, do you have any misunderstandings about feminine charm?

So Ling’e had instructed her in advance. Li Changshou felt emotional.

He did not dote on his junior sister for nothing.

He had decided!

From now on, there was no need for the paper effigy to monitor Ling’e. Right before he returned to the sect, he would use the paper effigy to see what Ling’e was doing.

If Ling’e slacked off and did not cultivate properly, he would reward her by grounding her for ten years and making her cultivate in seclusion.

If Ling’e was dolling herself up, taking a bath, and changing her clothes, he would reward her by making her copy the Steadiness Sutra five hundred times to correct her thoughts.

If Ling’e were to eat roast meat in the spiritual beast enclosure, then… beat her up behind closed doors.

Ahem. If Ling’e were to work hard at cultivating and meditating, he would officially teach her the original Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique, allowing her to have more defensive abilities.

Li Changshou sorted his thoughts out and felt a little emotional.

The elegant and intelligent young lady from back then was now standing tall and graceful. Apart from wanting to do bad things to her senior brother, she looked quite good in all aspects.

In particular, in the past decade or so, Lingle had lost some of her “impulses” to cause trouble. She had become much more composed.

That made Li Changshou rather satisfied.

From now on, as long as Ling’e could hold on and remain steady, he would not treat her unfairly.

Jiu Jiu sighed softly.

“Ah, why didn’t I ascend when I was transcending the tribulation?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ve read about it in the records in the Dao Repository. Whether one ascends or not depends not on one’s aptitude, comprehension, and accumulation before becoming an immortal, as well as whether one’s Dao is born with Heaven and Earth.”

“Hmph.” Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes. “You have no say since I’m only at the sixth stage of the Dao Requital realm!”

“Yes, yes.” Li Changshou lowered his head and said, “I have said too much.”

“Hmm… I’m not saying that your cultivation level is not high. Don’t think too much.”

Jiu Jiu was afraid that she would accidentally hurt Li Changshou’s confidence in cultivating the Dao. After thinking for a while, she pretended to be old and lectured him.

“Cultivation goes on for a long time. It’s not a matter of just a few days. A fleeting moment of rapid progress does not mean that one’s future achievements would be very high. There are some Qi Refinement cultivators with outstanding aptitude and comprehension. They had become immortals in a hundred years and Perfected Immortals in a thousand years. As they cultivated, they were suddenly stuck at a bottleneck. They could not even break through and become Heaven Immortals, much less live forever. That’s why I said that cultivation… Yes, that’s right, you can’t be rash. You have to look at it in the long term!”

“How knowledgeable, Aunt-Master!” Li Changshou smiled and agreed.

Xiong Lingli, who was at the side, was filled with emotions. Her big eyes were shining with starlight as she looked at her little senior sister with admiration.

Jiu Jiu waved at Xiong Lingli in embarrassment. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked Li Changshou, “What do you plan to do about Little Lingli? She is the Sect Leader’s in-name disciple. It’s more appropriate for her to go to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to cultivate. Do you want me to take her to my place? My residence is empty anyway. I’m about to move into your Little Qiong Peak!”

“Little Qiong Peak is more simple.” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Lingli has the bloodline of a Magihuman. Although she has already abstained from eating, she still likes to eat. It’s suitable for her to stay in Little Qiong Peak.”

He continued, After I go back, I will expand the spiritual beast enclosure by several times. I will rear more delicious spiritual beasts and let Lingli take care of them while cultivating. If that’s the case, there’s no need for her to always go out and hunt.”

Jiu Jiu’s eyes lit up. She looked at Xiong Lingli and could not help but pout…

Wouldn’t that mean that she could openly eat and drink together with the little sister from Xiong Village? Xiong Lingli cringed and looked weakly at her senior sister who was clearly petite but had strong muscles in a certain body part…

Her gaze was very similar to when she was hungry!

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let’s talk when we get back.”

Jiu Jiu immediately nodded and agreed. Xiong Lingli looked at her cousin, the Sea God, and then at her Senior Sister Jiu Jiu. She felt uncertain.

What is the Immortal Du Sect like…

Jiu Jiu suddenly reached out her hand and shouted, “I want to play Fighting The God! The meet this time was really too boring. I slept more than twenty times before it ended!”

Li Changshou smiled and took out the cards that he had prepared earlier. He called Lingli over and asked Little Aunt-Master to set up a layer of immortal power barrier around him, preventing external detection.

Originally, Xiong Lingli had said that she was very stupid and might not know how to play. However, after two rounds, Xiong Linli’s eyes were already glistening. She shouted, “Four Heaven Immortals”, “One Golden Immortal”, “Tap-tap”, “Joint Flying Immortal”. She was more ferocious than anyone else!

Putting the fun aside, Li Changshou did not forget to think about serious matters.

What should I do to make Master Zhao’s gang stop fooling around?

Li Changshou had originally thought that Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao, and the others were just acting on a whim. However, judging from what happened to Daoist Wen Jing, the pair of siblings had already started a series of large-scale scams…

There was no police force that could help them in the Primordial World. Master Zhao’s backer was too strong!

Today, they could coincidentally scam Daoist Wen Jing. Tomorrow, they might be able to cheat the Purple Cloud Palace!

Li Changshou could not help but feel depressed…

Back then, in order to deal with the hunchbacked old Daoist from the Western Sect, he had set up the Great Dao oath meticulously. However, it was really not easy to clean up the mess.

He wanted to let go of that matter, but he was afraid that he would be implicated if he caused any trouble in the future.

He wanted to intervene in time, but he did not know how to do it…

After worrying for a few days, Li Changshou even thought of inviting his little backerMaster Xuan Du—to settle the matter.

However, if he were to invite the Great Daoist Master for no reason, it would only ruin the Great Daoist Master’s good impression of him…

He could not use his backer casually. The matter was not that urgent.

Just as Li Changshou was at a loss for what to do, Jiu Jiu’s unintentional words made him have a flash of inspiration…

Jiu Jiu said, “I don’t know why Ling’e is so afraid of you, her senior brother. Can’t you be gentler to Ling’e!?!”

Senior Brother… Senior Brother…

Right!

Li Changshou slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about that big boss!?!

Jiu Jiu blinked. “Why are you hitting yourself? Are you trying to show your frustration with such an exaggerated action?”

“No, I suddenly thought of… a small trick to cultivation.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Thank you, Aunt-Master, for reminding me. I will be gentler to Ling’e in the future. Aunt-Master, play with Lingli first. I’ll go into seclusion for a while!”

“Huh? Why don’t I see you being so hardworking normally?” Jiu Jiu mumbled unhappily. “You only know how to compete with the experts in the sect!” Li Changshou did not retort. He smiled with a squint..

Little Aunt-Master was really his lucky star.

He closed his eyes and focused. Most of his attention was focused on the paper effigy under the temple of the Sea God Sect.

He replaced it with a paper effigy with “full immortal power” and floated out. He quietly went to the temple and entered the room specially prepared for the paper effigy… There was probably a direction.

In Jie School, other than the Saint, the only one who could control Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao was definitely not Daoist Duobao, the Eldest Senior Brother.

It was the eldest sister of the Three Xiao Fairies, Zhao Gongming’s second sister, Fairy Yun Xiao!

The Three Xiao Fairies were familiar figures to Li Changshou in his previous life.

The reason why they were called ruthless was that they had set up the Nine-Bending Yellow River Array in order to avenge their elder brother, Zhao Gongming, in the upcoming Great God-Conferment Tribulation. With the Golden Chalice, they had cut off the three flowers on the heads of most of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

That was only a small part of their battle spoils.

The most impressive thing was that the Saint personally wanted to subdue them. The Three Xiao Immortals actually ruthlessly attacked the Saint…

Of course, because of that matter, their fates were rather tragic.

The eldest, Yun Xiao, was taken away by the Saint and pressed under the Qilin Cliff behind the Jade Void Palace.

The remaining ones, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were killed. Their remnant souls were placed on the God roll and they became puppets of the Heavenly Dao. They were trapped in the Heavenly Dao Deities and lost their freedom.

Their Deity Positions were also very special. They were known as the “midwives” in the mortal world.

At first glance, they were very important clergies who were in charge of the descent of the human spirits. However, upon careful thought, Li Changshou realized that their positions were comparable to Elder Moon’s.

The Head Disciple of the outer sect of Jie School… really makes people sigh.

However, even if Li Changshou knew about that long ago, he could not care about the rest.

He was about to jump out of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. He absolutely did not want to get involved.

Now, what Li Changshou wanted to do was to reveal to Yun Xiao that Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao were fooling around outside and see how she would react…

Li Changshou was naturally unfamiliar with Yunxiao. Her temperament was not mentioned in the myths and tales.

If she were to join the conman gang because she doted on her sister too much… it would be lively.

Therefore, to be safe, Li Changshou not only wanted to let Yun Xiao know about it, but he also wanted to let her realize that that would bring endless karma to Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao.

How should I do this?

Li Changshou sat behind the chair and subconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.

Everyone more or less had some strange fetishes.

For example, Ling’e liked bathing when she was bored. Sometimes, she would shower three times in the morning, afternoon, and late at night. She would also like to put some petals in the water and form a pattern with them.

Hmm… Don’t ask how he knew. That’s not important!

Li Changshou paid close attention to his “little habits”. Other than the fact that he could not help but use his fingers to hit the table rhythmically when he was thinking, he did not do much as he controlled himself.

Should I let Daoist Wen, the miserable one, go to the Three-Immortal Island to complain to Yun Xiao?

At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing did not expose her identity. She could go to Three-Immortal Island. However, if that was the case, she might arouse the suspicion of the Saint of the Western Sect.

Should I write a letter and ask Ao Yi to send it to Three-Immortal Island?

Li Changshou muttered to himself.

Ao Yi was currently busy on his honeymoon. It was not good for him to always give him tasks…

I might as well use my status as the Sea God of the South Ocean to tell Fairy Yun Xiao the truth.

I’m afraid it would be counterproductive if I make too many schemes.

Sometimes, the way of stability was not complicated but simple.

Li Changshou gradually stopped thinking. He took out a brush and paper and began to write a letter.

It was not difficult to find Three-Immortal Island. As long as Ao Yi asked around on Golden Ao Island, he would be able to find a general location.

The difficulty of that matter lied in the way he could meet Fairy Yunxiao…

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window paper and onto the desk.

Li Changshou raised his pen and waved it. In order to meet Fairy Yunxiao, he had spent quite a bit of effort just to send a letter. He had pondered over it repeatedly.

After he finished writing the letter, he suddenly realized something… Fortunately, he had already thought of going to Three-Immortal Island to look for Yun Xiao to explain the matter.

If Zhao Gongming and the others were to cause trouble in the future, it was possible that Yun Xiao would take the initiative to blame him!

“Every step in this Primordial World is not stable.”

Li Changshou’s paper effigy stretched lazily and put away the invitation card. He picked up his horsetail whisk and used Earth Escape to head towards the South Ocean.

Using the Water Escape technique to travel in the seawater could save half of his immortal power.

At the same time… on a deserted island deep in the South Ocean, three figures sat in an open space in a forest. They were dividing storage Dharma treasures.

Qiong Xiao’s hands moved back and forth as she counted seriously.

“One for Big Brother, one for me. One for Han Zhi, one for me. One for me, one for me. One for Big Brother, one for me…”

Zhao Gongming did not know whether to laugh or cry. Naturally, he would not argue with his third sister over such a small matter.

Han Zhi, on the other hand, was at a loss. She wanted to say that she did not dare to take those benefits, but she was afraid that Fairy Qiong Xiao would teach her a lesson.

Soon, the distribution was completed. Qiong Xiao clapped her hands and smiled in satisfaction.

“It is quite a good feeling to be able to gain without any effort. Brother, shall we go to the West Ocean to shop?”

“Yes, okay.” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. “However, don’t take these things from them later on. It’s making it seem like we’re bandits who rob houses.

Third Sister, do you lack treasures?”

“I don’t lack any.” Qiong Xiao blinked. “But, Big Brother, what’s the point of our actions if we don’t take these things? We have to do what we promised! Later on, we will find some unlucky immortals in the sect and distribute these to them.”

Zhao Gongming pondered for a while and could not help but ask Han Zhi, “Is that true?”

Han Zhi’s sense of justice made her want to shake her head, but Qiong Xiao was secretly glaring at her. She could only nod weakly and agree softly. She surrendered instantly…
