Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

The fleet composed of five Flying Battleships skimmed across the night sky at a not-too-fast speed, leaving behind trails of long, lingering tail lights.

Within half a month's time, the Flying Boat crossed four Space Crossing Gates, leaving less than two days of travel to the Lingyin Domain where Sumeru Mountain was located.

Inside the inner hall of the Fire Phoenix Boat, Pei Wanyu lay sideways on the Beauty Couch with her clothes in disarray, a hint of spring in her brows as she sipped strong liquor in small gulps, her eyes seemingly a bit hazy from drunkenness.

"Good disciple, this wine isn't as strong as you～"

Lu Jin'an, having already donned his clothes, tied his belt as he glanced at Pei Wanyu, saying helplessly, "Master, you've drunk too much."

Of course, he didn't believe that Pei Wanyu would actually get drunk.

Moreover, instead of being drunk from the wine, it was more like being intoxicated by another kind of 'ascension'.

His Master was becoming more daring; she had just pulled him over while drinking, losing herself in passion.

"I am not drunk!" Pei Wanyu exhaled lightly, "What is wrong with a Master doting on her disciple?

Who told you that for more than half a month, you've done nothing but cultivation, not even touching your Master."

Speaking, she sat up on the Beauty Couch with one hand, while the other hand, holding the wine cup, traced her graceful curves, with a little wine spilling onto her smooth skin, adding a touch more allure.

"Am I very ugly?" Pei Wanyu cast him a side glance, "And you, so young yet having opened five Dao Palaces, in just half a month... hiccup~ aren't you afraid of overflowing?"

Lu Jin'an looked at her suspiciously. Was she really drunk?

Thinking, he went over to take the wine cup from her hand and the wine pot from the table, pulling a thin blanket to cover her legs: "Master, you should rest for a while."

"Will you sleep?"

Lu Jin'an shook his head, and Pei Wanyu tilted her head to look at him: "Cultivating again?"

"Mm..."

"Chat with your Master!" Pei Wanyu patted the empty space beside her on the Beauty Couch: "I can enlighten you!"

"Alright." Lu Jin'an smiled but didn't sit beside her, instead opting for a chair opposite, his expression becoming slightly more serious: "I just have a question for Master."

Pei Wanyu relaxed back onto the Beauty Couch, looking at the ceiling as she spoke: "Ask away～"

"Along the way, we've seen quite a few life-and-death competitions for opportunities, which sometimes makes me more puzzled."

Lu Jin'an looked at Pei Wanyu's side profile: "In the cultivation world, the strong preying on the weak is the norm; fighting over resources is to be expected. But just because one side's cultivation is high and the other's low, the stronger party mysteriously gets entangled with the weaker's karma after winning...

If such a Heavenly Dao rule is for the protection of more weak ones, doesn't it nullify the purpose of striving for strength and treasures?"

After a pause, he continued, "Moreover, only when involved in a Qi Fortune Competition is it not considered bullying the weak.

And this Qi Fortune Competition is so enigmatic, for example, if someone in the Tongsheng Realm desires a certain treasure and someone in the Tribulation Crossing Realm also covets it, then the Tribulation Crossing Realm can reasonably take it away..."

Lu Jin'an looked at his Master: "Although I think it can't be that simple, but such rules... are rather absurd, aren't they?"

Pei Wanyu tilted her head, looking at him: "So you think this isn't a normal Heavenly Dao rule?"

Lu Jin'an nodded: "Maybe it indeed aims to protect the weak, but be it for the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, even for the animals in the mortal world, lions can eat rabbits... such a rule is very unreasonable."

He looked at Pei Wanyu: "Master, your cultivation is powerful and your status is high; can you enlighten your disciple?"

"What is your guess?" Pei Wanyu propped up her cheek with one hand, lazily watching Lu Jin'an: "Would you like to share it with your Master?"

"If I were to guess..." Lu Jin'an pondered aloud: "a method to counter the Upper Realm.

Because they are now secretly possessing the geniuses of various domains, without this rule, their actions would surely be bolder."

Pei Wanyu played with a strand of her hair, her voice carrying a hint of jest: "Who can change the rules of heaven and earth then?"

Lu Jin'an said without hesitation: "Transcendence."

"Mm..." Pei Wanyu nodded: "You'll understand when you become an Immortal."

"Why?" Lu Jin'an curiously asked: "Is there any saying about it?"

"Sometimes..." Pei Wanyu softly began: "Any spoken word is bound to be known."

Lu Jin'an was momentarily stunned, suddenly recalling the Sect Master forbidding him from revealing the list of Possessors; was it for the reason his Master just mentioned?

"I understand." Lu Jin'an got up and bowed: "I will first go cultivate."

Saying this, he hurriedly left the room without waiting for his Master to respond.

Pei Wanyu cast him a faint glance: "It's not like your Master can eat you, can she?"

The response she received was the sound of the door being gently closed.

Pei Wanyu chuckled softly, then sat upright again, reaching for the wine pot on the table, the hazy intoxication now absent from her face brightened by the spring rain.

"With the Upper Realm... it's not just about possession and being possessed."

In the Ancient Court of the Demon Clan, there is no lack of Black Phoenix's presence.

It's not that she doesn't want to tell Lu Jin'an many things, it's just that her good disciple is ultimately not an Immortal; only becoming an Immortal grants the ability to shield certain Heavenly Mechanisms.

Knowing some things too early only brings harm, not benefit.

This journey to Sumeru Mountain, suppressing the Buddha's son is one reason, but investigating whether Emperor Shitian has truly attained Nirvana is another, more important task.

This Buddha, one of the Twenty Deva of the Buddhist Sect, hasn't appeared to the world for a very, very long time.

Pei Wanyu downed a cup of strong wine, wrapped her half-opened clothes properly, concealing the snowy landscape.

Rising to head back to the bath, she casually threw the wine cup back onto the table, a slight chill in her phoenix eyes.
