My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 196 Don’t Talk, Kiss the Goose

The blood sword slashed downwards with a cold light!

At that moment, Li Changshou thought about it more than ten times and chose the safest path for the overall situation.

He immediately reacted, but he only waved his hand and sent the dragon flying out of the hall…

The sword beam chased after the dragon. Before the figure landed outside the door, its neck and head were cut off by the sword beam!

This sword glow…

Killing a dragon that was at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm was as easy as cutting a watermelon…

Li Changshou was secretly wary. The cultivation level of the person who had plotted against him was far beyond the Golden Immortal realm!

The dragon blood splattered all over the ground. The corpse lay motionless in front of the hall.

Apart from the horns on his head, his head was almost the same as that of humans. It rolled down the stairs. Its eyes emitted a strange light…

Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy and made it quickly walk out.

Everyone and Ao Yi’s spiritual will saw that the white-robed old immortal threw out a few jade-green beads and began to recite some sutras.

The recordings in the modified Soul-Bewitching Pearl could be kept for a few months and could also be erased.

A few streams of light entered the Soul-Bewitching Pearls. They were the remnant souls of that dragon. It was unknown if there were any useful remnant memories inside.

There was silence in and out of the Sea God Temple for a while. Then, the panicked screams of the mortal women could be heard. Everything was in chaos.

Ao Yi hurriedly said, “Sect Master, that was…”

“The other party should be hiding in the dark to observe,” Li Changshou said. “The experts from the dragon race will appear next. If you didn’t invite them over, remember to investigate in secret later.”

Ao Yi immediately nodded and agreed.

After that, Li Changshou muttered to himself. To be safe, he told Ao Yi about what might happen next.

As if it was cooperating with Li Changshou, a dragon’s roar sounded in the air as soon as he finished speaking.

The wind and clouds in Anshui City suddenly changed. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning flashed across the sky.

In front of the Sea God Temple, the mortals were already in a state of panic. The Divine Envoys of the Sea God Temple tried their best to maintain order and organized them to leave in an orderly manner. They even punched the walls of the Sea God Temple to prevent any stampedes. That was Li Changshou’s “Sea God Temple Emergency Rescue Code”.

If he were to add negative karma because of the chaos, it would really not be worth it.

A few cracks appeared in the dark clouds, and numerous azure dragons flew out and took on human forms. They landed in front of the main temple, as two men and one woman. They were middle-aged…

One of them had a sullen face and he shouted, “What’s going on here? Why did my dragon die here?!”

The woman pretended to be kind. She frowned and said, “I think there’s another reason for this. We can’t jump to conclusions.”

There was also a person who pretended to be objective and fair, but secretly tried to sow discord. “There should be no such expert in this place. Could it be that someone is plotting something in secret? However, this happened in the Sea God Temple after all. Whoever is in charge of the Sea God Temple, can you give me an explanation?” Ao Yi was furious when he heard that. This situation was almost identical to what his elder brother had deduced!

Li Changshou pursed his lips. He felt that the other party’s acting skills were too poor.

He did not even look at the corpse before he started to negotiate…

According to the theory provided by the ‘Primordial Actors’ Self-Cultivation Famous Classic’, no matter how bad the opponent’s acting was, it should not affect his performance.

Hence, the old immortal who was actually the paper effigy, smiled and walked out. What followed was a long, meaningless conversation. If it were not for Li Changshou’s Shadow-Retaining Balls, which he had prepared a little more of, and the fact that he had been secretly observing from the very beginning with Ao Yi, it was really easy for the other party to control the situation today.

Li Changshou also had the intention to nurture Ao Yi. As he spoke with the three dragons, he waited for the subsequent developments before asking Ao Yi, “Brother Yi, what have you figured out about this matter?”

At that moment, Ao Yi was too angry. He was so infuriated that he calmed down.

The little Dragon Prince smiled bitterly. There was a hint of disappointment on his delicate and handsome face. “I, a member of the dragon race, am unaware. I have long been infiltrated by the other party. You can kill these three dragons.”

Li Changshou said calmly, “Humans die for wealth while birds die for food. The same goes for dragons. The hierarchy within the dragon race is very strict. One’s status depends on one’s bloodline. Some lower-level dragons may have obtained high cultivation levels and treasures, but they might not have the status they deserve in the race.”

“Sect Leader, I’ve thought about this before. However, the dragon race has already been solidified. It’s hard to go back to the past.”

Ao Yi sighed softly, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes. “I used to advise my father to reform the rules of the dragon race and place emphasis on the capable members of the race. However, my father only laid on his throne with his eyes closed. He did not answer me.” Li Changshou said, “What your father sees is far more profound than what you and I see. You should think carefully and think before doing anything. Let’s not talk about this first. What do you want to do about this matter?”

Ao Yi said coldly, “Investigate! Find out the forces behind the three dragons! Investigate till the end!”

“Wrong.”

Ao Yiqi said, “Leader, are you not going to investigate?”

“Of course we have to investigate. However, it’s not like you to investigate so rashly,” Li Changshou said. “Later, send a message to your father. There’s no need to mention anything else. Just one word.”

“What?”

“Steady.”

Ao Yi was confused. Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. He could only spend more time and effort to teach Ao Yi how to be steady and plan.

Of the Dharma treasures, ahem, friends, that he had with him now, the one whom Li Changshou had to worry the least about… was his stabilized Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.

Ling’e was not one of the human Dharma treasures, and Li Changshou would not let her get involved easily.

In the Pill Chamber, a man and a dragon sat half a meter apart. Both of them had their eyes closed, and they kept talking and answering questions.

The chaos in Anshui City continued. Fortunately, the mortals were not injured.

When the two experts whom Ao Yi had called over arrived-an old man with a dragon’s head and the old Turtle Prime Minister who had a turtle shell on his back, they temporarily suppressed the matter.

They put away the corpses and Dao saluted the Sea God statue as a form of apology. They took away the two Sound-Shadow Pearls from the hands of Li Changshou’s paper effigy and left in a hurry…

When the experts of the dragon race flew away, it was quiet in the Sea God Temple for the rest of the day, which was rather rare.

Xiong Buhan shouted, “I, the devotee in charge of the temple is here to wipe the ground! I’ll wash away the dragon blood properly!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the Sea God’s voice in his heart telling him how to deal with the aftermath…

A brand new story of the Sea God, ‘Defeating the Lecherous Dragon in the Sea God Temple’, will soon spread in Anshui City. It will quickly spread across the coast of the South Ocean.

Although he was scheming, the incense offerings were not affected.

In the Pill Chamber, Ao Yi went to a corner and was sending a message to the Dragon King to explain the trick that Li Changshou had taught him.

Li Changshou was thinking… After that, according to the script that he had written with the upper echelons of the dragon race, the conflict between the dragon race and the Sea God Sect would only worsen. The Sea God Sect would temporarily lose the protection of the dragon race and their external deterrence would be reduced. Although the Western Sect’s attention was focused on the dragon race, they had to be wary of them.

Let’s make something scary.

He had a bunch of Magihumans ready. Li Changshou had observed that many of the Magihuman Divine Envoys had bloodline abilities. They spat out a beam of light from their mouths, which transformed into strong arms and legs.

Why don’t we set up a Twelve Divine Killing Array?

Yes, the most important thing is to be domineering enough.

At that time, I’ll let the Divine Envoys shout ‘I’ll form the head’, ‘I’ll form the left arm’, ‘I’ll form the buttocks’. The scene will definitely be quite domineering… and happy.

…

During dusk half a day after the Dragon Slaying incident in Anshui City, Ao Yi had already adjusted his mental state and did everything he could. He also told his father everything that his Brother Sect Master had told him.

Both families knew what was going on.

Today’s matter was just the beginning. There would be various events that would happen later on. The Sea God Sect and the dragon race would be separated and the dragon race would lose the support of Ren School.

Seeing that Ao Yi was unhappy, Li Changshou suggested, “Let’s take a walk in the mountains and find a few spiritual beasts to roast. We’ll then send them to make a banquet.”

Ao Yi forced a smile and followed behind Li Changshou with a heavy heart.

The two of them left the Pill Chamber and headed towards the spiritual beast enclosure. Li Changshou brought up the topic to his Dao companion. Ao Yi easily… diverted his attention. When they picked up the barbecue rack and started roasting meat in the forest, they heard a voice coming from the lake.

“Not who I miss, not who I fancy. Adoring and pampering the beautiful girl like she’s my child.”

It was the mermaid princess singing. Her voice was gentle and pleasant, but it also seemed to be able to soothe the sorrow in one’s heart, causing one to be lost in it.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, was focused on roasting meat. He was not affected by the song.

After a while, he heard some laughter in the wind.

Jiu Jiu said, “Is that what you said about not knowing how to do it?”

Xiong Lingli was honest. “I still want to hear it. Can you sing another segment?” Jiang Si’er said, “I’m sorry for embarrassing myself, everyone. Yes, it would be great if I could play the zither.”

“It’s a small matter.” Ling’e smiled calmly and pointed to the side. The two paper effigies turned into two women and took out their zithers, flutes, and drums.

Not long after, sounds of musical accompaniment could be heard from the straw hut. The mermaid’s voice was heard again. It merged with the music and flowed slowly on Little Qiong Peak.

In the straw hut next door, Qi Yuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. His old eyes were filled with emotions.

The disciples who happened to pass by the Little Qiong Peak were attracted by the music. They stopped on the clouds and listened quietly.

Li Changshou felt rather emotional when he heard that.

Finally, Ling’e could have a skill. Even if she went to live in the town, she could still survive on the streets.

By paying one Spirit Stone, one could at least listen to three segments!

After a while, the singing turned into laughter. The figures outside the Little Qiong Peak also dispersed.

Li Changshou and Ao Yi used their immortal powers to carry the roasted meat they had already prepared and floated to the straw hut. The few of them set up a short table by the lake and set up their food and drinks.

Ling’e went to cook a few more dishes and habitually processed two fishes. One was braised and the other was boiled.

However, when Ling’e served the dishes, she realized that the mermaid race seemed to be…

However, Ling’e was overthinking it.

Jiang Si’er ate the two spiritual fish happily. She was not stingy with her compliments for Lingle’s cooking.

After dinner, they laughed and had fun until late at night.

Jiu Jiu clamored about beginning the Little Qiong Peak reservation project. She brought out games like Fighting The God, Immortal Life Simulation, and Fighting Bean Soldiers. Ao Yi and Jiang Si’er could not take a break at all…

After the three-day banquet, Ao Yi and Jiang Si’er bade farewell reluctantly.

To Ao Yi, it was not the time for him to have fun. The dragon race was in trouble. How could he, the Second Prince, be idling about there?

Ao Yi had originally planned to leave in half a day but he ended up playing for three days. That made him uneasy.

Before Ao Yi left, Li Changshou gave him a few colorful brocade pouches.

This time, it was a proper brocade pouch.

Li Changshou instructed Ao Yi to open the brocade pouch at any time. There was an emergency plan in it.

The plan provided would lead the dragon race to seek help from the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts.

Ling’e and Jiang Si’er were really familiar with each other. The two women bid farewell in front of the Immortal Du Sect. Jiang Si’er turned her head to look at them, and Lingle kept waving her hand.

Ling’e suddenly asked, “Senior Brother, should we give them some gifts?” “Don’t worry.” The smile on Li Changshou’s lips had a deeper meaning. “I’ve already prepared it.”

Jiang Si’er had given Ling’e the Tear of The Previous Life, and Li Changshou had given her the Poisonous Dragon Wine and the Ambition Pill. The former did not seem to have any effect, but the latter…

Since it was a conscionable product of the Little Qiong Peak, its medicinal effects were naturally guaranteed.

When Ao Yi’s dragon carriage disappeared into the horizon, Li Changshou brought Ling’e along and bowed to the immortal guarding the entrance. Then, they rode a cloud and returned to Little Qiong Peak.

Just as they returned to the peak, Lingle lowered her head and wanted to escape. However, Li Changshou asked, “Do you still want to try the Tear of The Previous Life?”

Ling’e froze on the spot. She turned her head and chuckled.

“I’m just… Yes, Senior Brother, you definitely won’t fall for it… I’m just… Hehe, Senior Brother, don’t be angry…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t punish you this time.”

Lingle’s face turned pale…

This time, Li Changshou spoke gently and slowly.

“The Tear of The Previous Life will not have any effect on me, but it can help Grandmaster fulfill her wishes. I’ll give you this jade token. You can contact Grandmaster with this. Tell her about the tears in your previous life and ask if she wants to use it.” Li Changshou lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him. He could not help but sigh softly and hit her forehead gently. “You think about all this nonsense every day, but you can’t spend these thoughts on cultivation. Do you know that your cultivation conditions are not any worse than any of the disciples in the sect?”

Ling’e held her forehead and bit her lips. She looked at Li Changshou pitifully, black hair was twisted around her finger and she said softly, “Senior Brother, I will try my best to cultivate… It’s just that after so many years, you haven’t responded to me. I’m not confident…”

Li Changshou nodded calmly and pointed behind Ling’e. The simulated Dharma powers quickly formed a barrier.

He suddenly took a step forward, and Lingle subconsciously took half a step back. She gently knocked into the barrier’s light wall, and she was instantly at a loss.

“Master…”

Li Changshou raised his left arm, brushed it past Ling’e’s ear, and pressed it against the wall of light. Then, he removed the disguise that he used to conceal his aura and face. He activated the halo of charm and looked down at Ling’e.

He put his right hand forward and raised Ling’e’s smooth chin. “Senior Brother…”

“Shut up.”

Li Changshou lowered his head slowly…

Lingle’s face turned red and her eyes were filled with panic. She could only exhale.

Li Changshou’s movements were actually very slow. Just as he was about to approach, Ling’e suddenly cringed and fled from Li Changshou’s arm. She covered her face and rushed into her straw hut, leaving a trail of white smoke above her head.

She heard the splashing sounds of water, followed by a series of bubbling sounds. She should have jumped straight into the wooden barrel meant for baths.

Li Changshou pursed his lips and shook his head slightly. He casually dispelled the barrier and calmly rode the cloud towards the Pill Chamber.

Look, that’s it…
