Chapter 1 Lu Changsheng's Rejection

Lu Changsheng's rejection only intensified the anger in the eyes of those behind Di Yunxiao.

What did this mean!

Their own princess had so proactively invited him to travel together, a great honor, yet he refused.

However, awed by Di Yunxiao's majesty, no one dared to speak out; they were angry but dared not say anything.

After all, Huang Yuanlong's example was still fresh in their minds.

"I'm very sorry for the trouble I caused you earlier, Fellow Daoist. This ancient shrine is extremely dangerous, so traveling together would be safer," Di Yunxiao said.

Her hair fluttered, and her flawless face wore a gentle smile. She wasn't annoyed by Lu Changsheng's rejection and extended another invitation.

Lu Changsheng had a headache. He didn't know how to refuse her without hurting her feelings.

Directly rejecting her would be too hurtful.

What Di Yunxiao said made sense.

Moreover, they had fought side by side outside the ancient shrine.

But when Lu Changsheng saw the group of people behind Di Yunxiao, their gazes made him not want to say anything.

Damn, why were they all staring at him?

Lu Changsheng was too familiar with these gazes.

Three parts envy, three parts jealousy, and four parts anger.

After all, he was the center of attention wherever he went, so he was used to such looks.

The only thing that puzzled Lu Changsheng was that simps could also cultivate to the Daluo realm?

If he agreed to travel with Di Yunxiao, and this group followed, they would probably cause trouble.

Even Di Yunxiao alone could attract trouble.

As the saying goes, beautiful women bring misfortune, a truth that has existed since ancient times.

Di Yunxiao was obviously famous, and if she attracted jealous people who didn't like him, wouldn't that be adding trouble?

There was definitely more than one person like Huang Yuanlong.

"Ah!!!"

A howl rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Huang Yuanlong, who had been knocked away by Di Yunxiao and was lying on the ground, had bloodshot eyes, full of madness, and was actively absorbing the power of heavenly resentment.

As they went deeper into the ancient shrine, the power of heavenly resentment wasn't as strong as it was at the beginning, making it harder to be eroded.

"Not good, Huang Yuanlong is being possessed by resentment! He's going to become a demon!"

The dozen or so people behind Di Yunxiao immediately rushed out, suppressed him, and used great divine powers to dispel the power of heavenly resentment.

"Calm your mind, forget all dharmas, guard your spirit, look inward and listen back, and you can achieve peace and stability, without a single thought arising."

"Supreme Terrace Star, respond without stopping, drive away evil and bind demons, protect life and body..."

More than a dozen people constantly cast spells, chanting incantations, like the chanting of heaven and earth, washing away the soul and concentrating the mind.

This was the Pure Heart and Body Divine Mantra, which could wash away the physical body and mind, and dispel demonic thoughts.

"Die, die, die, damn it!!!"

However, Huang Yuanlong's condition didn't improve at all. He roared crazily, constantly drawing in the power of heavenly resentment, which almost materialized around him.

This made it difficult for those suppressing him.

Di Yunxiao acted. After all, Huang Yuanlong was a member of her Daqian Heavenly Palace.

A twelfth-grade golden lotus appeared, blooming with thousands of divine lights, which washed away all filth.

The lotus hovered and spun above Huang Yuanlong's head, scattering specks of Daoist charm, and spraying out small lotus flowers that submerged into Huang Yuanlong's head.

Gradually, Huang Yuanlong finally stopped, and the bloodshot in his eyes began to dim, showing a hint of reason.

But when he saw Lu Changsheng reflected in his eyes, resentment erupted from within.

"Hiss, how much hatred does this guy have? This person is definitely a brain-addled weirdo!"

"And his tongue must be very thick, a simp, a simp, beyond saving!" Lu Changsheng said, seeing this scene.

He didn't know where such great hatred came from when the other party saw him.

They were clearly meeting for the first time.

He had only said a few words to Di Yunxiao.

How could you have so much resentment? What's going on?

If they had chatted and gotten along, wouldn't you have died on the spot?

Is this the Daluo simp?

Truly you.

"Miss, given the current situation, Lu will take his leave first," Lu Changsheng said.

Now was a good time to leave. He didn't believe that Di Yunxiao would still say she wanted to travel together in this situation.

Di Yunxiao didn't speak. At some point, a pair of bells appeared on her wrist, ringing "jingle jingle," the sound crisp, entering people's hearts, and shaking their minds.

The resentment that Huang Yuanlong had just generated was instantly suppressed and dispelled.

"Alright, we can set off together," Di Yunxiao said, nodding her head lightly, her flawless face with a faint smile, as if she hadn't heard Lu Changsheng's words.

The people behind her didn't know what was wrong with their princess, that she had to travel with him. Had she also been possessed?

However, they didn't make any wild guesses, but just followed quietly.

Because Di Yunxiao did so, there was naturally her reason.

This was the prestige Di Yunxiao had left in the Daqian Heavenly Palace.

Huang Yuanlong took the initiative to retreat to the back, not wanting to see this scene.

Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say to refuse in this situation.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face.

If she really wanted to follow, she could just walk far behind him.

After all, in the end, it still depended on each person's skills.

Lu Changsheng showed a polite but awkward smile and nodded.

The group moved forward together.

Along the way, they encountered three palaces, all of which were side halls.

Lu Changsheng ignored them and passed by directly, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Xiu and the God of War knew the reason, so naturally they ignored them as well.

But the others traveling with Di Yunxiao were different. Except for Di Yunxiao, they couldn't help but want to investigate.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng's behavior made the others traveling with Di Yunxiao obviously very curious and puzzled.

Finally, Di Yunxiao couldn't help but ask.

"Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Lu go and see if there are any opportunities?"

Di Yunxiao said this.

"In the ancient shrine, there are many small halls, each with different opportunities. My opportunity is not here. Of the three thousand weak waters, I only take one scoop."

"You can go and see if there are any opportunities for yourselves."

Lu Changsheng's voice rang out.

This ancient shrine was very dangerous, even the small halls were very dangerous, so there was no need to waste time.

The main hall was what he wanted.

"What Fellow Daoist Lu said is reasonable. After reaching this realm, it's all about fate. If there's no fate, what's the use of seeking it?"

Di Yunxiao said with a chuckle.

The God of War was slightly stunned. You actually took it seriously?

He really wanted to say that his big brother simply looked down on this place.

Because his scoop was going to scoop away the biggest share.

"Then I wonder where Fellow Daoist's opportunity lies?"

A Daluo of the Daqian Heavenly Palace asked.

They really wanted to see if their opportunity was here, but the problem was that Di Yunxiao didn't have this intention.

"The word 'fate' cannot be described."

Lu Changsheng said this.

And so, an hour later.

Looking at an ancient gate like obsidian in front of him, Lu Changsheng stopped.

The ancient gate was three zhang tall, and the door was covered with countless dense patterns, which were ferocious birds and beasts.

On both sides of the surroundings stood rows of black giant statues.

These statues were all half-human and half-beast, with dragon heads, tiger heads, wolf heads, and horse heads, all with different appearances.

A faint dark red glow flowed on the ground, and it carried a faint fragrance.
