Chapter 350: 349

Dao Sect, Sect Master’s bedroom.

Bai Hongtu is currently undergoing an unprecedented proof – proving he can surpass Jiang Li.

Because I, Bai Hongtu, am no weaker than anyone in my life, so I must be able to surpass Jiang Li.

But Jiang Li’s strength is terrifying and he cannot be considered a human.

Proof failed.

In terms of cultivation level, Jiang Li is merely (deleted) a Mahayana Realm cultivator, not a celestial, still in the realm of humans. Jiang Li is human.

Because Jiang Li is human, I, Bai Hongtu, am no weaker than anyone. Hence, I, Bai Hongtu, am not weaker than Jiang Li.

Bai Hongtu continues his proof.

Because Jiang Li has been stuck in the Mahayana Realm for a long time without advancing, it can be seen that his cultivation path has reached its end. Whereas, I, Bai Hongtu, have been constantly advancing, hence it can be seen that I, Bai Hongtu, will one day surpass Jiang Li.

Proof successful.

Bai Hongtu finishes writing his proof with satisfaction.

To strengthen his confidence to defeat Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu writes this proof once every day.

“Sect Master, the Pure Heart Saintess from the Red Dust Pureland has arrived.”

“I’ll be there shortly. The Saintess is an honored guest and should not be neglected. Serve her a cup of hawthorn juice.”

“Yes.”

The Saintess of Pure Heart, sitting on the side, sips the sour hawthorn juice without understanding why Bai Hongtu has called her over.

Bai Hongtu clears his stuff, retrieves a sheet of white paper from his bedroom, “Saintess, could you write a few words so I can have a look?”

“Sure.”

Bai Hongtu takes a serious look at the elegant small print written by the Pure Heart Saintess, then sits down at a desk on the side, posture straight, writing something very seriously.

After a while, Bai Hongtu hands a stack of pink papers to the Saintess of Pure Heart.

On seeing it, the Saintess’s hand trembles and almost scatters the papers.

“This, this is…”

“These are love letters for you.” Bai Hongtu gazes at the Saintess of Pure Heart without blinking.

The Saintess never thought Bai Hongtu had such thoughts about her. She rejects him without thinking, “Sect Master Bai, I like Jiang…”

Who would’ve thought Bai Hongtu would continue, “And then you’ll send these love letters to Jiang Li. Of course, they’ll be under your name.”

Bai Hongtu then takes out many unique and interesting, but useless items from his Storage Ring.

“These are things I’ve collected from all over Kyushu. They’re very suitable for couples to exchange. I’ll give these things to you, then you can give them to Jiang Li.”

Saintess of Pure Heart feels her brain isn’t working.

Seeing such slow reaction of the Saintess, Bai Hongtu couldn’t help but sigh deeply in sorrow.

“Saintess, with your speed of reaction, when can you catch up to Jiang Li?”

“As a friend of Jiang Li, I’m very worried about his future. As you know, a person without a partner may go to extreme lengths, and even self-destruct.”

“I see Jiang Li has such a tendency!” Bai Hongtu stated confidently.

“We’ve been old friends for centuries now. Seeing your relationship has made me very anxious.”

“So, I’ve helped you write these love letters in your handwriting, and I also have these small trinkets for couples. You just need to give them to Jiang Li, and the distance between you two will close.” Bai Hongtu appeared to be considering for the Saintess of Pure Heart.

However, the Saintess couldn’t help but feel that something wasn’t right.

She blushed and hastily rejected him, “No, no, no, this is too embarrassing.”

“I’m not asking you two to establish a relationship. It’s one step at a time. When time comes, it will naturally happen.”

Bai Hongtu takes out a map of Kyushu, marking many places with hearts on it.

“I’ve found the common dating spots for couples, like this Moon-watching Cliff. It is said that if you confess your love there, there’s an 80% chance of success!”

“And this Underworld Grand Canyon, the dark environment can make a couple’s hearts closer. They say every couple that comes out of Underworld Grand Canyon will have their relationship deepen further!”

“And this place…”

Like a tour guide, Bai Hongtu proficiently explains the effects of each scenic spot to the Saintess of Pure Heart.

According to Bai Hongtu, even two rocks, after his operation, can give birth to pebbles!

This is Bai Hongtu’s way of dealing with Jiang Li.

To deal with Jiang Li, we cannot use brute force, we need to be skillful and take a different path.

Eventually, apart from monopolizing hawthorn, Bai Hongtu thought of another method – making Jiang Li fall in love.

They say love makes people lose their mind. If Jiang Li falls in love and fights him, he might make a mistake. Then with the support of his Kyushu Spirit Plant formation, he can launch a counter-attack at once!

The day for my, Bai Hongtu’s comeback is near.

However, there’s a small problem with this plan, how do we make Jiang Li fall in love?

Bai Hongtu fixed his gaze on the Pure Heart Saintess.

Although many female cultivators in Kyushu are in love with Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu thinks that the Pure Heart Saintess is the most likely to succeed.

This is his intuition as a regular visit to the Union Sect.

Seeing the wavering look of the Pure Heart Saintess, Bai Hongtu knew he was about to succeed.

“Then I’ll try it.” The Saintess of Pure Heart mustered up courage.

“Sect Master, we have a visitor.”

Bai Hongtu, without thinking, directly refused, “No.”

A visitor, what visitor could be more important than my, Bai Hongtu’s, surpassing of Jiang Li.

The disciple at the door whispered, “It’s the Human Emperor Jiang who has come. He seems to be here to question.”

“I’ll slip away…”

“Old Bai, where are you trying to go?” Jiang Li suddenly appeared and blocked Bai Hongtu’s way, looking at him with a smirk.

Bai Hongtu forced a smile, “I meant I was going to make three stir-fried dishes for you.”

Bai Hongtu turned to the disciples at the door, “Didn’t you see that the Emperor has arrived? Why aren’t you serving him hawthorn juice?!”

“You dare bring up hawthorn to me?”

Bai Hongtu replied seriously, “Brother Jiang, you misunderstood me. Do you think I’m monopolizing the hawthorn business just to stop you from eating candied haws? How could I, Bai Hongtu, do such a thing!”

“As you know, the quality of hawthorns is uneven, with a big difference between good and bad ones. Some candied haws made by unscrupulous vendors even have bugs in them. Seeing this, I was heartbroken and determined to change the situation.”

“Our Dao Sect is determined to gather hawthorns and research high-quality, high-yield varieties.”

“As a cultivator in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, we naturally need to be responsible, and make sure that we secure the food safety for other cultivators! Not only should they eat healthily and safely, they should also find it delicious.”

“Brother Jiang, rest assured, the expenses incurred in the process will not be reimbursed by the Imperial Palace!”

Jiang Li silently watched Bai Hongtu making up stories.

Seeing this, Bai Hongtu quickly diverted Jiang Li’s attention and pointed at the nervous Pure Heart Saintess.

“The Saintess has something to give you.” Taking advantage of Jiang Li turning his head, Bai Hongtu mouthed to the Pure Heart Saintess.

Give the love letter.

“This is for you.” The Pure Heart Saintess spoke very softly, not daring to look into Jiang Li’s eyes, and looked down to see if her shoes looked good.

Jiang Li looked at the girly love letters with a strange face, and the cheesy words made him shiver all over.

When he finished reading, Jiang Li suddenly said, “Old Bai, this wouldn’t be written by you for the Pure Heart Saintess, would it?”

Bai Hongtu was shocked, “I’ve clearly imitated the Saintess’s handwriting to write this, how could you see that?”

Jiang Li pointed at the signature, “The signature is your name.”
