Gu Changyuan chatted in the Sky Demon Pavilion for about half an hour before standing up, preparing to take Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
As soon as he stood up, he felt a small figure approach his side.
Looking down, he saw Tushan Hanyan looking up with her small face, her large eyes sparkling as she gazed at him. Her eyes clearly said—
"Grandmaster, you promised me that you would take me out to play later!"
Gu Changyuan let out a chuckle.
He reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head. The soft touch deepened the smile in his eyes:
"Alright, alright. Once everything is settled, I will take you out to play often."
Only then did Tushan Hanyan nod in satisfaction, a bright smile blooming on her small face.
Watching the interaction between their master and Tushan Hanyan, Ye Qingxue, Bai Ling'er, Tushan Youyao, and Luo Qingchen stood to the side.
Their gazes fell on the small figure. In their eyes, besides the gentleness reflecting the warm atmosphere between grandmaster and grand-disciple, there was also a faint trace of... envy.
Perhaps only someone of Tushan Hanyan's age could approach their master so naturally, have their head gently rubbed by him, and receive such comfort and encouragement.
They too had experienced such times.
Back then, they were still young and had not yet grown into the independent figures they were today.
When wronged, they would complain to their master; when facing difficulties, they would seek his help. Occasionally acting spoiled or throwing a tantrum would earn them their master's helpless smile and a gentle pat on the head.
Now, they had grown up.
Their cultivation bases had reached the pinnacle of the entire Nine Heavens Realm, and their status had risen to a height that countless people looked up to.
They could no longer act like spoiled children as freely as they used to.
Gu Changyuan looked at Tushan Youyao:
"Xiao Yao, the threat from the Myriad Demon Alliance has been resolved. I have placed protective restrictions on Yanyan, so you don't need to keep such a tight leash on her or restrict her too much in the future.
If she wants to go out and play, let her. If you are truly worried, just send demons to protect her from the shadows."
Hearing this, Tushan Youyao immediately snapped back to reality and nodded.
"Yes, I understand, Master."
Gu Changyuan nodded, then waved his hand:
"Alright then, I'll take them over to Xiao Luo and Xiao Yue's side."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light enveloped the group. In the next instant, they were teleported directly to the top floor of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Heavenly Demon Sect, top floor of the Main Coffin.
In the grand hall, two figures were sprawled across a long table, waiting for something in sheer boredom.
They were none other than Mo Yingluo and Mo Yingyue.
Ever since their master left last time, they had stayed here. After absorbing the Sacred Bone, they had not stepped outside once.
Their master had said he would come once his matters were handled.
So, they waited.
Ever since their master returned with a strength so formidable it was beyond their comprehension, the two of them had somewhat lost their sense of purpose.
Over the past few days, the sect's affairs had basically been handed over to Xie Yunjie and Chu Jing; the two girls couldn't even be bothered to ask about them.
They just lay there on the long table, sniffing the faint, lingering scent of their master in the air, waiting for his figure to appear once more.
The other eight demon disciples were already entirely accustomed to seeing their two senior sisters in this state.
Only when their master arrived would one see a well-behaved and docile expression on their faces.
Suddenly—
The space rippled slightly.
Mo Yingluo and Mo Yingyue sprang up from the table almost simultaneously!
Their gazes instantly locked onto the coalescing figure, an irrepressible joy surfacing on their faces.
"Master!!!"
When Gu Changyuan's figure fully materialized, the joy on the two girls' faces grew even brighter.
However, after sensing that there were others behind him—including two unfamiliar auras—they quickly held back.
They swiftly reined themselves in a bit, though the light in their eyes remained astonishingly bright.
Ye Qingxue's gaze fell upon the two girls. She gave a slight nod, her eyes carrying a subtle hint of warning.
She naturally knew a thing or two about the personalities of these two junior sisters and their attitude toward their master.
She wouldn't demand anything of them in private, but at the very least, in front of their master, they shouldn't make it too obvious and put him in an awkward position.
Mo Yingluo and Mo Yingyue felt her gaze.
A flash of disdain crossed their minds.
This eldest senior sister sure liked to stick her nose into everything.
However, they didn't show it outwardly.
After all, in terms of seniority, Ye Qingxue was indeed their senior sister.
Moreover, they could sense that Ye Qingxue and Bai Ling'er also harbored their own little thoughts about their master, just much more restrained.
Seeing that the two girls were right there, Gu Changyuan smiled and waved to them:
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Yue, what a coincidence. You happen to be here."
The two girls immediately stepped forward, standing to Gu Changyuan's left and right.
Once they were close, Gu Changyuan introduced them:
"Let me introduce you. These two are my newly accepted disciples, Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi.
In other words, your new junior brother and junior sister."
Saying that, he gently placed his hands on the tops of their heads and said warmly:
"Xiao Kong, Xiao Shi, these two are your senior sisters, Mo Yingluo and Mo Yingyue."
Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi's gazes fell upon the twin senior sisters before them.
Then—they froze.
They looked too similar.
The two were practically carved from the same mold, possessing the same gorgeous features.
But what stunned the siblings wasn't just their appearance.
It was as if there was an invisible magic about them; once someone's eyes landed on them, they could no longer look away.
Oh, it wasn't as if—there actually was.
Gu Changyuan then remembered that these two girls were hybrids of a succubus and a vampire. Their bodies naturally exuded the unique spiritual charm of a succubus.
That charm didn't have much effect on high-level cultivators, but for minor Golden Core cultivators like Jun Mukong and Jun Anshi, it was simply a devastating, overwhelming blow.
His mind stirred slightly.
Two streams of spiritual energy instantly shot into the siblings' divine senses.
Like a clear spring, the spiritual energy spread throughout their seas of consciousness, instantly washing away the demonic aura within.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
