Li Chuan was naturally not intimidated by Zhao Bingqian's few threatening words. To Li Chuan, Chu Mengyou was already a woman within his reach. The only obstacle between them now was that they hadn't met yet.
As long as they met, their relationship would immediately reach an intimate, zero - distance level.
"Senior brother, you've misunderstood. It's Senior Sister Mo from the Mission Hall who is looking for Senior Sister Chu," Li Chuan said calmly, even handing two Spirit Stones to Zhao Bingqian.
Looking at the Spirit Stones in his hand, Zhao Bingqian's expression improved. "What does Junior Sister Mo want with Junior Sister Mengyou? Isn't Junior Sister Mengyou out on a hunting mission in the Mission Hall?"
In terms of strength, both Mo Xiangling and Chu Mengyou were currently stronger than Zhao Bingqian. However, they had never competed with each other. Since he was the first to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining, he still addressed them as junior sisters.
"Thank you, senior brother, for the information. As for the specific matter, I'm not clear. Goodbye," Li Chuan said. After getting the answer he wanted, he didn't stay and turned to leave.
Zhao Bingqian never imagined that two Spirit Stones would send his Dao - companion into someone else's hands.
Not long after, Li Chuan came to the Mission Hall again and directly found Zhao Mingxuan.
Seeing him return so soon, Zhao Mingxuan was extremely surprised. "Junior Brother Li Chuan, are you here to take a hunting mission?"
Li Chuan got straight to the point. "Senior Brother Zhao, it seems that a senior sister I'm familiar with came here to take a hunting mission. I want to ask..."
Before he could finish, Zhao Mingxuan interrupted him with a smile. "Junior brother, you want me to help you find out what mission your senior sister has taken, right?"
"Sorry, junior brother. We generally don't disclose the mission details of sect disciples to the outside world. After all, it concerns their safety. Even if their Dao - companions come, it won't work."
Generally?
How could Li Chuan miss this key word? Helplessly, he handed over two Spirit Stones. "Please help me, senior brother. I have an urgent matter to find that senior sister."
Zhao Mingxuan casually took the Spirit Stones and said with a smile, "Senior brother can see that you're very anxious. It must be a very important matter. Then senior brother will make an exception to help you. Don't tell others. What's the name of the senior sister you're looking for?"
Li Chuan: "Chu Mengyou."
Zhao Mingxuan was already holding a crystal - clear jade tablet with recorded information and was about to search. After hearing Li Chuan's words, he suddenly stopped.
He looked at Li Chuan with a troubled expression. "Junior brother, so it's Senior Sister Chu Mengyou you're looking for. Senior Sister Chu is one of the top ten most beautiful fairies in the Qi Refining stage of our sect. There are countless people who want to know her whereabouts every day. If every disciple comes here to find her, it'll be difficult for me!"
What's so difficult? You'd make a fortune then! Li Chuan grumbled in his heart and handed over three more Spirit Stones.
Zhao Mingxuan happily took them and said, "There are evil cultivators in Liuye Town. They use infants to refine evil artifacts. The Qi Refining first - level cultivators of the Dashi Kingdom stationed in Liuye Town have been killed. And this evil - eliminating mission was taken by someone from our sect an hour ago."
"Thank you, senior brother," Li Chuan thanked and then started on his journey again.
As the saying goes, good things come with many obstacles. The longer it took for Li Chuan to get Chu Mengyou, the more he looked forward to it in his heart.
An hour later.
Li Chuan finally arrived in Liuye Town.
Liuye Town was not big, but it still had a population of more than twenty thousand. It wasn't easy to find someone.
Fortunately, when Li Chuan arrived, he saw a place in the west of the town shrouded in black fog, with a sinister aura and occasional glints of cold light.
If he guessed correctly, Chu Mengyou had already engaged with the evil cultivator.
Li Chuan didn't go forward to help. Instead, he found a rooftop and waited.
Since he didn't have any sect marks on him and his appearance was a bit unseemly, the villagers of Liuye Town looked at him with surprise and suspicion, as if they were worried that he was an accomplice of the evil cultivator.
However, apart from those panicked looks, no one dared to talk to him.
After about a cup of tea time, a scream came from the black fog. Then the black fog gradually dispersed, and Chu Mengyou, wearing a white dress and with a peerless beauty, appeared.
She was holding a long sword and standing calmly.
Blood dripped from the sword, adding a bit of a murderous aura to her.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair face, and there was also a little sweat on her delicate nose.
The gentle breeze blew, fluttering her skirt and hair, making her look even more ethereal.
"The evil cultivators have been eliminated. There won't be any more incidents of using infants to refine artifacts. You can rest assured," Chu Mengyou took out the scabbard, sheathed the sword, and said to the villagers.
The villagers were captivated by her beauty. They came back to their senses only when she looked over after sheathing the sword and knelt down in panic one after another.
"Thank you, fairy, for your help."
"Thank you, fairy..."
Many people couldn't even control their eyes and still looked at Chu Mengyou's small feet and beautiful skirt even when they were kneeling on the ground.
"Hey, junior brother, why are you here?" When the villagers looked up after hearing the sound, they saw Chu Mengyou flying towards Li Chuan in surprise.
Junior brother?
Didn't they say that all the fairies and elders in the Yin - Yang Sect were handsome and beautiful? How could this somewhat wretched old man be the junior brother of this extremely beautiful fairy!
Then the villagers saw a heart - breaking scene.
They saw that the somewhat wretched old man in their eyes actually picked up his sleeve and wiped the fairy's face.
"Junior brother, are you here to deliberately annoy me?!" Chu Mengyou pushed Li Chuan away angrily.
Not to mention whether their relationship allowed for such intimacy, who in the world would wipe someone's sweat with the rough cuff of their sleeve.
Li Chuan smiled and said, "How could I be here to annoy senior sister? I'm here to bring good news to senior sister."
Chu Mengyou was puzzled. "What good news?"
"Congratulations, senior sister. You've earned an extra 50 Spirit Stones today," Li Chuan said as he took out 50 Spirit Stones from his Qiankun Bag and put them in Chu Mengyou's hand.
Chu Mengyou's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Li Chuan in surprise. "In just half a day, you've earned 50 Spirit Stones? How did you do it?"
She had just killed that evil cultivator and only got a 20 - Spirit - Stone mission reward. Fortunately, this time, the things in the evil cultivator's Qiankun Bag and his magic robe could be sold for about a hundred Spirit Stones.
But for this, she almost got invaded by the evil aura.
Once invaded by the evil aura, her Foundation Establishment would have to be postponed for one or two years, so the risk was very high.
Moreover, such good luck didn't come often. Sometimes, she couldn't complete the mission target for three or five months.
Most of the time, the hunting missions they took were to hunt monsters, and the mission reward was only 10 Spirit Stones. Together with the monster's corpse, it was only about thirty or forty Spirit Stones.
And these missions rarely took only one or two days to complete.
So she found it incredible that Li Chuan had gotten 50 Spirit Stones in just a few hours.
However, then Chu Mengyou realized something was wrong.
"What do you mean by giving me 50 Spirit Stones? What do you mean by an extra income of 50 Spirit Stones for me today?" She asked Li Chuan.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
