Chapter 199 -187 I, Chen Mouren, Study the Spring and Autumn Annals!

“Elder… Elder Ancestor.”

A green-faced child was crawling in front of an elderly man with white hair, somewhat fearful. Glancing up once, he quickly gave a reminder; the elder ancestor had said before his departure to notify him in advance just before arriving at Nanling Prefecture City.

He did not dare to disobey, well aware of how severe the consequences could be for himself.

“Hmm?”

With his white hair scattered, the elder with the youthful face of a child slowly opened his eyes, a spark of brilliance flashing within, his presence hidden yet untamed, like a dormant volcano yet to erupt.

Upon hearing the voice, after a moment of silence, he spoke:

“Have we arrived?”

“Returning to the Elder Ancestor, it will be roughly two quarters of an hour before we arrive at Nanling Prefecture City,” the green-faced child hurriedly said.

“Nanling Prefecture City!”

A flicker of reminiscence passed through the eyes of the old man in white, for he had not visited this place in many years since he was pursued into Blood State by a Reach Profound expert seven years ago, and he had not ventured out since then.

It was only because he later heard that the expert had passed away and now he needed that Ghost Wood Child he had fled from before, that he came to Qingzhou.

After years of roaming, he, the Blood Demon senior, had also established his own domain in Blood State.

That’s where the true Jianghu was located, with several major factions of the Demon Dao stationed in Blood State, where the authority of the Government couldn’t reach, and chaos was the norm—it was the place of his dreams.

Indeed, he was the Blood Demon senior who once caused great fear in Qingzhou, not because of his strength—he was only at the peak of Gang Condensation—but because of his cruel and ruthless methods.

His notoriety was such that his name alone could silence crying children.

His gaze intense, he looked ahead at the Nanling Prefecture City, which was discernible in the distance, thinking to himself that his name would once again echo throughout Qingzhou.

He took great pleasure in seeing the fearful expressions on others’ faces.

It gave him an inexplicable thrill!

“Hehe… That Ghost Wood Child thinks he can escape from my grasp, little does he know he’s still within my control,” the Blood Demon senior’s gaze swept over the four children in front of him, his tone mocking and also a warning.

When the Five Elements children fled, they were all within his control; he hoped they would grow on their own outside, and then, once he had recovered from his injuries, he would come to reap them.

Now that he had located four of them, the last one couldn’t escape either.

This was critical to his breakthrough plans!

He had raised the Ghost Children for many years, waiting for the moment to finally harvest them.

He planned to use the Five Elements Ghost Blood to transform the Gang Qi into True Yuan, advancing to Reach Profound, and at the same time convert it into the Yin Ming Ghost Body, re-refining his sinews and bones to step into a higher Realm.

His years were advanced, and he had no hope of entering the Core Realm; he had only intended to live out his life without worry, but against all odds, he received a fortuitous opportunity later on.

It was to raise the Ghost Children and transform them all into himself, to improve his talent so he could aim for greater heights in the future.

For this, he did not hesitate to kill a genius, which led to being pursued afterward.

In fact, he could have broken through long ago, but he had been suppressing it, all to find the Five Elements Ghost Children again.

Four had already been found, and the most important one he knew was in Qingzhou. Unexpectedly, they had come to Nanling Prefecture, but it didn’t matter. Once he found their trail, there was no way they could escape from the palm of his hand.

These Ghost Children were his creations; he had his own Secret Techniques to control them, tormenting them to a fate worse than death.

The corners of the Blood Demon senior’s mouth curled up, his saintly demeanor appearing somewhat eerie.

The four Ghost Children—Metal, Water, Fire, Earth—lying prostrate on the ground exchanged looks, their eyes filled with fear and dread, quickly pressing their heads to the ground.

“Upon arriving at Nanling Prefecture City, the four of you are to swiftly disperse and sense the aura of the Ghost Wood Child,” the Blood Demon senior glanced at the youngsters and instructed indifferently.

“As you command, teacher.”

“As you command, teacher.”

The Ghost Children answered in varied voices, some hoarse and some high-pitched, hastily responding.

…

…

Inside the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Yue Shan, a smile on his face, made his way to the Chen Yuan’s office at the Government. When he arrived, Chen Yuan was engrossed in a book replete with illustrations.

Aside from daily cultivation, Chen Yuan would not sit idle but always looked for various things to broaden his knowledge. At least now, Chen Yuan’s understanding of the world’s situation and top powers was pretty good.

Upon seeing Yue Shan’s arrival, Chen Yuan casually tucked the book behind him and asked:

“What brings you here?”

Yue Shan smiled and said, “I’ve just completed a mission and am taking a few days’ rest.”

“Now is not the time to slack off; you should become a Heavenly Patrol Envoy quickly to really settle down,” Chen Yuan advised lightly.

Yue Shan nodded, touched his head, and with a strange smile, said:

“My Lord, what were you looking at just now? Why did you hide it away the moment I came in?”

As he spoke, his expression hinted at an underlying message.

Chen Yuan’s brow furrowed. What did he mean? It was as if Yue Shan suspected his integrity, comparable to that of the author. He was a reader of the Spring and Autumn Annals!

Saying this, he tossed the hidden book to Yue Shan:

“I am a reader of the Spring and Autumn Annals!”

Yue Shan glanced at the cover, taken aback momentarily by the bold title ‘Spring and Autumn Annals’.

Flicking through a few pages, Yue Shan was somewhat speechless; it was indeed an introduction concerning matters of solar terms. It was… truly the Spring and Autumn Annals!

As for why Chen Yuan would look at such strange and peculiar things, including solar terms, Yue Shan wondered.

Actually, what he didn’t realize was that Chen Yuan looked at these things to better understand the world he was in, weighing them against the previous world to see just how different they truly were.

Then…

He discovered that, apart from matters of martial strength, the differences weren’t really that big.

“Your lordship has a wide range of interests,” Yue Shan said with an awkward smile.

Since he had met Chen Yuan at a brothel for the second time, he had the impression that Chen Yuan was someone who enjoyed pleasures of the flesh, although many explanations followed later, his first impression remained.

“Enough, tell me what you want,” Chen Yuan said, waving his hand to prompt him.

Yue Shan wouldn’t be seeking him out without reason at this time; he should be resting at home, so perhaps he encountered some problems that he couldn’t solve on his own.

That was what Chen Yuan thought.

Although Yue Shan was now a Qi Absorption Martial Artist and ready to become a Heavenly Patrol Envoy, neither he nor Chen Yuan felt that their relationship had changed much.

Yue Shan was still his subordinate and also the person who recommended him to join the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Subconsciously touching his nose, Yue Shan looked around before hurriedly stepping in front of Chen Yuan and said in a low voice, “My lord, I’ve now broken through to the Qi Absorption stage, so there is no longer any need to remain celibate.”

As he spoke, Yue Shan’s voice grew lower, and he seemed a bit embarrassed—few around him had maintained celibacy for their cultivation like he had.

After hearing some adult jokes from Yang Feng and Yan Qing, he also felt the need to release some pent-up energy, which he thought might be beneficial for his cultivation.

Chen Yuan smiled knowingly, so the robust and bushy-browed man had finally figured it out!

Previously, Yue Shan had restrained himself for the sake of cultivation, and he didn’t seem too interested, but now he was taking the initiative.

That was quite unexpected.

But on second thought, it made sense. A vigorous man like Yue Shan, brimming with essence, there was no need to suppress it once he had made a breakthrough.

It was better to let nature take its course.

The only concern for Chen Yuan was whether Yue Shan might become addicted to pleasures of the flesh.

How does that saying go?

A man should not go without, but having it, he should not always have it.

A woman may go without, but once she has it, she will always want to keep having it.

These truthful words seemed to explain quite a bit about the affairs between men and women.

But what was Yue Shan getting at?

Did he think that Chen Yuan was well-versed in such matters?

To be honest, ever since his breakthrough, Chen Yuan had lost much interest in such diversions.

Importance? Not as much as dedicating time to cultivation.

“Hmm… it indeed might be time to try it out,” Chen Yuan mused and nodded after a moment.

“As you say, my lord.”

He himself wasn’t greatly interested, but he couldn’t stand others constantly talking about it, and Yue Shan, with his robust vitality, had not relieved his desires for over twenty years—it was indeed a bit too much to bear.

“Yan Qing and Yang Feng said that there’s a place in South City called Peach Blossom Paradise; the ladies there are very fine,” Yue Shan said with a scratch of his head and a smile.

“If they all say it’s good, then you should go,” Chen Yuan replied.

Chen Yuan wasn’t one to discourage this sort of thing.

Whether it was encouraged or discouraged, it didn’t matter where one was.

“My lord, how about joining me? My treat,” Yue Shan said after a pause, revealing his intention.

It was a good place to bond, and with Chen Yuan’s potential and talent being widely acknowledged, Yue Shan wanted to strengthen their relationship even further.

And there was no risk involved.

“No need, this Envoy still has some matters to attend to, you all have fun,” Chen Yuan declined, shaking his head; such things, especially in a brothel, really didn’t interest him much—women could only slow down the speed of his draw!

Unless it could enhance his cultivation, he wouldn’t indulge in such activities for a while.

A look of disappointment appeared on Yue Shan’s face, but since Chen Yuan had spoken, there was no taking it back, so he could only nod and say:

“Well… if my lord has matters to attend to…”

“Don’t worry about me, just enjoy yourself. As the saying goes, good begets good, and evil begets evil. Peach Blossom Paradise might be an evil place, but since Yang Feng and Yan Qing have recommended it…”

“Then you should give it a try.”

Chen Yuan came closer and patted Yue Shan on the shoulder with a smile.

Yue Shan: “???”

What did he mean? It was a bit confusing to him, but upon further contemplation, it seemed to contain a hint of truth.

Indeed, the lord knows a lot!
