In the past half year, besides dealing with the "Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land," Hao Ren did something else very important.
He whipped the Poison Lady "Peng Shiliu Niang"!
Speaking of which, the "evil cultivators" in the immortal cultivation world really have a weird style!
If you save her, and speak kindly to her, her "hatred value" for you will soar.
If you capture her, tie her into a cage, lock her up with chains, and whip her with a big whip, her "favorability value" will soar!
Hao Ren last saw a similar scene in a "movie from a country that lives a good life."
It was so stimulating!
There was no choice. To increase his "favorability value" and obtain the "Heavenly Born Poison Seed" destiny, Hao Ren had to go all out.
Alas!
As an upright person, a noble person, a person who has transcended vulgar tastes.
For Hao Ren to be in a dark prison lit by candles.
Whipping the Poison Lady "Peng Shiliu Niang" three times a day.
This "demonic woman" was also wearing a leather outfit resembling a "black spider."
It was too much for him!
"Cold sweat" involuntarily trickled from the corner of his mouth.
...
After more than half a year of whipping, the results were quite gratifying.
The Poison Lady "Peng Shiliu Niang" had reached a favorability of "four stars" towards Hao Ren. With a little more effort, the "Heavenly Born Poison Seed" would be within his grasp.
Heh heh heh...
The only trouble with this matter was that "Peng Shiliu Niang's" gaze towards Hao Ren was becoming stranger and stranger.
Sparkling and alluring.
She even started to initiate conversations with Hao Ren.
"You give me a very special feeling!"
"No man has ever made me feel this way!"
"It's fiery, burning into my heart..."
Hao Ren
(；￣Д￣)
After so many whiplashes every day, wouldn't it feel "fiery" and "heart-wrenching"!
...
During this past half year, the monkey also visited a few times.
That damned monkey!
Ever since it met "Yun Zhaozhao," it had become increasingly negligent about the tasks Hao Ren assigned it!
When Hao Ren asked it to find the papaya, the monkey disappeared for three months.
By the time it reappeared, Kong Xiaoxian had already obtained the "Crimson Dust Immortal Armor" and solved her "biggest" problem.
The papaya was actually no longer that important!
But, please note, but...
This monkey was so good at fooling people that it actually brought back a peach.
"Are you sure this is the papaya I asked for?"
Hao Ren asked the "Little Spirit Monkey King."
The monkey's eyes darted around, its simian face exuding an unconcealable air of "craftiness."
It actually nodded affirmatively.
Jiji jiji...
That's right, this is the papaya!
Hao Ren smiled.
The last person who was this arrogant was a eunuch!
That eunuch pointed at a deer and insisted it was a horse!
Monkey, you're something!
In ancient times, Zhao Gao "pointed at a deer and called it a horse." Now, you, the monkey, "point at a peach and call it a papaya."
Believe it or not, I'll turn you into a "eunuch monkey" in a snap!
Hao Ren engaged in a round of "friendly exchange" with the monkey through "body language."
Hao Ren was already at the "Golden Core realm."
The monkey was still at the "Foundation Establishment realm."
There was a gap of a major realm between them.
Most importantly, Hao Ren was not an ordinary "Golden Core cultivator."
He had thirty-one Golden Cores!
Each one more formidable than the last!
Each one more impressive!
A super invincible supreme enhanced version "Thirty-one-in-one" Golden Core cultivator!
In one word, awesome, awesome, awesome!
The monkey's "friendly exchange" with Hao Ren was a "dimensional reduction attack."
It was ground into the dirt with such vigor.
One Buddha appears!
Two Buddhas ascend to heaven!
Finally, the monkey left limping.
In the setting sun, the monkey's shadow stretched long and far...
Besides the monkey, Hao Ren also welcomed another "special guest" during this past half year.
The "Young Master" of the "Medicine King's Mansion."
Su Muxue's nominal "fiancé."
The "super invincible love-brained" Wang Dong!
Speaking of which, this "Young Master" was truly a peculiar character!
He didn't want Su Muxue, the goddess Su, as his fiancée, but instead fell head over heels for Yun Zhaozhao at first sight.
Later, Yun Zhaozhao got together with the monkey, and Wang Dong's "unrequited love" declared failure.
Hao Ren thought he would be crestfallen and give up.
However, unexpectedly, the "love brain" had incredible self-healing abilities!
In the blink of an eye, truly in the blink of an eye, Wang Dong saw Yun Zhaozhao's cousin, the underage girl Yun Yaoyao.
He fell in love at first sight!
Wang Dong, damn it, fell in love at first sight again!
Then, he started frantically pursuing Yun Yaoyao with confessions!
What a beast!
Yun Yaoyao, she's still just a child!
...
Wang Dong came to find Hao Ren of his own accord, which made Hao Ren a bit embarrassed.
After all, Wang Dong was Su Muxue, the goddess Su's, nominal "fiancé."
And not long ago, in order to gift the "Ice Phoenix Spiritual Fire," Su Muxue and Hao Ren had engaged in intense "oral communication."
This...
I'm so sorry!
Wang Dong, however, didn't notice Hao Ren's awkwardness at all. He sincerely "sought advice" from Hao Ren.
"Senior, I've fallen for someone, but I have a fiancée. I'm so conflicted and in pain right now, what should I do?"
Uh... fallen "for" someone!
Wang Dong, you beast!
Yun Yaoyao, she's still a child!
Hao Ren thought a mess of chaotic thoughts.
Suddenly, Wang Dong nodded, his face filled with realization.
"I understand, Senior. Thank you for your guidance!"
Huh?
(⊙_⊙;)
This was truly the ultimate confusion, as if confusion itself had a mother who gave birth to confusion, and it had reached its peak!
So, what exactly did the "Young Master" understand?
Tell me so I can understand too!
Wang Dong said in a deep and firm voice.
"Senior's silence means I should be firm in being myself, break the shackles of convention, and bravely pursue true love!"
Uh...
"Young Master," let me tell you, in my life, I've seen countless "absurd rationalizations," but I must admit, this particular "rationalization" of yours is the most absurd I've ever witnessed, without exception.
Speaking of which, what "shackles of convention" are you trying to break?
Don't do anything reckless!
Please, really, don't do anything reckless!
Yun Yaoyao, she's still a child!
Hao Ren was furiously complaining in his heart.
Wang Dong continued to talk to himself.
"Senior, I've decided to pursue true love! The only problem now is how to get rid of my fiancée, Su Muxue?"
Uh... if you don't want her, why not give her to me?
Heh heh, ever since that intense "oral communication" with Su Muxue last time, Hao Ren had been "unsatisfied"... bah... had been "lingering on the aftertaste"... bah, in short, it felt pretty good!
Hao Ren continued to remain silent.
Wang Dong continued to talk to himself.
"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance. I understand what you mean! You're telling me to go to the Dongxuan Secret Realm, stop the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land's conspiracy there, save the world, and achieve self-worth... This way, I can successfully break free from Su Muxue!"
Uh...
"Young Master," if your words had even a sliver of "logic," they wouldn't be entirely devoid of it!
What in the world is this!
What connection, not even a tiny one, exists between entering the "Dongxuan Secret Realm" and "breaking free from Su Muxue"!
Finally, Wang Dong left joyfully, while Hao Ren was left bewildered.
