Chapter 199 Pretending to Act

Early the next morning, in the secret room of Xiaoguifeng.

Zhou Qingxuan woke up faintly, feeling that her body was stiff and sore, and a tearing pain came from the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

"The magic power is imprisoned..."

Her innocent face and skirt were stained with blood, and she lay on the cold floor.

Subconsciously, I touched my waist, only to find that the storage bag and the spiritual pet bag were missing.

After a while, the door to the secret room opened.

A man in white, as tall as jade, passed by the girl in a yellow skirt and sat cross-legged on a futon not far away.

Zhou Qingxuan raised her head and stared at the familiar man's face. His dark eyes were unwavering.

"Congratulations, Lord Gu Emperor, you got what you wanted."

Zhou Qingxuan forced a smile, supported the ground with her hands, and struggled to get up.

As a result, injuries occurred.

His legs and knees fell to the ground with a "thud" and turned into a prostrate and half-kneeling position.

Lu Changan looked at the pure and delicate daughter of the Zhou family, who was in a state of embarrassment, with an expression of awe and flattery.

Once upon a time, when he was in the Qi-refining stage, he asked to see Zhou Qingxuan, who was in the foundation-building stage. He regarded himself as a junior, was respectful, and could not disobey.

"Haha, Miss Zhou and Baisu Soul Gu had this kind of relationship before?"

Lu Changan chuckled with a teasing expression.

"Aren't you..."

Zhou Qingxuan's pretty face was shocked and she couldn't believe it.

"Miss Zhou was mistaken. Lu was not controlled by the soul Gu. Due to his special talent, Lu could barely compete with it and had a certain degree of autonomy over his body."

Lu Changan said slowly.

"So, the person communicating with the little girl now is Fellow Daoist Lu himself?"

Zhou Qingxuan was shocked and uncertain, staring at him with her pretty eyes.

"That's right."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the girl in the yellow dress who was lying on the ground turned red and showed an expression of shame and embarrassment.

Previously, Zhou Qingxuan and Soul Gu were in a symbiotic state, but Soul Gu took over the dominant position in her body and suppressed her obediently.

If one has high attainments in realm and soul path, or has special magical powers, one can theoretically subdue the soul Gu and make it work for oneself.

As a beast-controlling genius, Zhou Qingxuan knew this.

She had tried before, hoping to gain partial control over her body, but unfortunately she had not succeeded.

Lu Changan was targeted by the soul Gu and tried to stay. He was obviously not an ordinary monk, and he definitely had more potential and value than Zhou Qingxuan.

Lu Changan was able to do this and hide it so deeply that it even exceeded Soul Gu's expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you going to do with this little girl?"

After a while, Zhou Qingxuan calmed down, sat cross-legged on the ground, and smiled.

Lu Changan said: "According to Senior Soul Gu's plan: after parasitizing on Lu, prepare to activate the restriction in Miss Zhou's sea of ​​consciousness. This will eliminate hidden dangers and keep the secret!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qingxuan's heart trembled.

It is reasonable for Soul Gu to abandon her and find a more valuable target.

Her previous host, Chen Fuhai, died in the chaos of the Qingming Secret Realm.

"We have known each other for many years. Lu negotiated with Senior Soul Gu to gain a chance for Miss Zhou."

Lu Changan explained the reason.

Beforehand, he had also considered pretending to be a soul Gu to directly intimidate and enslave Zhou Qingxuan.

However, Lu Changan does not have the various abilities of Baisu Soul Gu, so it is easy for him to reveal his secrets.

Once he does this, Zhou Qingxuan will demonize him and lose hope for future survival.

Even if he surrenders on the surface, he is secretly harboring evil intentions and may do things that will destroy both the jade and the stone.

At this moment, Lu Changan's established identity was on the same level as Soul Gu, allowing Zhou Qingxuan to see a glimmer of hope.

"Qingxuan is deeply grateful for Fellow Daoist Lu's life-saving grace and will never forget it."

Zhou Qingxuan knelt down and thanked him.

"Qingxuan is willing to be a maid and a concubine, and asks fellow Daoist Lu to rescue her."

Zhou Qingxuan was deeply afraid of the restrictions within the sea of ​​consciousness.

Even if you are lucky enough to escape, it will automatically explode when the time limit is reached.

"Miss Zhou is a genius that the Zhou family has rarely seen in a century. She is expected to become an elixir and has a noble status. Lu dare not offend her."

Lu Changan smiled.

"Lu will have to pay an unknown price to protect Miss Zhou Zhou. Here, we might as well make a deal."

"Please ask Fellow Daoist Lu for advice."

Zhou Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the mysterious and terrifying Soul Gu, it has a greater chance of survival when it falls into Lu Changan's hands.

"If Mr. Lu can form an elixir in the future, I am sure that you will be free. However, Miss Zhou must do the following two things:"

"First, Miss Zhou swore an oath of inner demons and kept secret about the soul Gu lodged in Mr. Lu."

"Secondly, for the next sixty years, Miss Zhou will obey Lu's instructions and provide all the help within her ability for the safety of my cultivators and the resources they need."

Lu Changan stated his conditions.

At this stage, it would be risky for him to kill Zhou Qingxuan, so he could only run away and flee to another country.

The inner demon's oath, coupled with the double insurance of the ban on Gu insects, allowed Zhou Qingxuan to keep the secret and eliminate Lu Changan's worries.

At the same time, there will be one more maid with fake elixir fighting power.

In other words, he is an "all-round tool man" who obeys the call and provides resources and protection, as well as certain services.

Zhou Qingxuan represents not only an individual, but the beast-controlling Zhou family behind him is a family of immortal cultivators who dominate the Liang Kingdom.

…

Zhou Qingxuan thought for a moment and agreed to the conditions.

"Qingxuan believes in Lu Daoyou's character and will keep his promise."

She speculated that she was of value to Lu Changan and that her life would not be in danger in the short term.

Zhou Qingxuan saw the hope of life and the opportunity to fight for it.

Later, Zhou Qingxuan made an oath to the inner demon in person.

"Miss Zhou has suffered."

Lu Changan came over, removed the restrictions on Zhou Qingxuan, and returned the storage bag and spiritual pet bag to her.

Zhou Qingxuan recovered her magic power, stood up and saluted:

"From now on, fellow Daoist Lu can treat Qingxuan as his slave."

"There is no need for Miss Zhou. Don't expose your secrets in front of outsiders."

Lu Changan reminded.

"Qingxuan knows."

Zhou Qingxuan smiled brightly and was surprised by Lu Changan's politeness.

Nowadays, she is quite the fish on the chopping board.

Lu Changan could obviously get whatever he wanted, but he didn't reveal his so-called "true face" and behaved rudely and angryly.

Zhou Qingxuan felt a little disappointed.

This means that it is difficult to find a breakthrough in Lu Changan.

In addition to her background and strength, youth and beauty are also weapons she can use.

"I'll arrange a guest room for you and nurse your injuries first."

Lu Changan ordered.

"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Not long after, Zhou Qingxuan settled in the guest room of Xiaoguifeng.

"I forgot to tell Miss Zhou that although Lu can't learn the ban on Gu insects, Senior Soul Gu has shared the method of controlling the ban with me."

Before leaving, Lu Changan sent a message to remind him.

In the guest room, Zhou Qingxuan was alone in silence for a long time, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness on her innocent and pretty face.

"Lu Changan can get along with Baisu Soul Gu on an equal footing, and even borrow the latter's power. He is definitely not an ordinary monk. If he is a lucky person, he may really have hope to form a pill in the future..."

"It's just that his cultivation speed is too slow!"

Zhou Qingxuan sighed and checked the storage bag and spiritual pet bag on his body.

The items in the storage bag had obviously been turned over.

The spiritual stones and most of the supplies are there.

There are only a few items missing, including a rare material called Crystal Condensation Pill, two quasi-third-level animal skins, and a few bottles of top-level second-level beast pills.

In the spiritual pet bag, Lu Changan did not move the sleeping and seriously injured quasi-third-level spiritual pet, as well as several other second-level pets.

These spiritual pets were tamed by Zhou Qingxuan and signed a contract. Even if it is forcibly taken away by outsiders, it cannot be turned into combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

"There is a limit to what you can ask for, or at least a person who has a bottom line..."

Zhou Qingxuan felt more at ease and took a few pills to nurse her injuries.

…

A few days later.

Zhou Qingxuan's injury has improved a bit, but the trauma in the sea of ​​consciousness will take a long time to heal.

Lu Changan did not want Zhou Qingxuan to stay too long in the cave to avoid suspicion from the outside world.

In the secret room, the two chatted for a long time.

Lu Changan tried to ask about the details of the Zhou family, but Zhou Qingxuan answered everything.

For example, the Zhou family's trump card is a third-level spiritual beast that is close to old age.

For example, what other treasured resources are there in the clan?

A small collection of them will be beneficial to the bloodline of the Earth Rock Rat and its future impact on the third level.

Of course, Zhou Qingxuan cannot move those treasured resources at will, and needs to apply for exchange, otherwise the Zhou family's senior officials will notice the clues.

Lu Changan was satisfied with Zhou Qingxuan's obedient cooperation.

"Miss Zhou's injury cannot be healed in a short time. After that, she should go to Xiaodan Peak or return to her clan to recuperate."

Lu Changan suggested.

"Friend Daoist Lu, the cooperative relationship between us will inevitably involve exchanges in the future. Instead of deliberately avoiding taboos and being cautious, it is better to let go!"

Zhou Qingxuan said with a full smile.

She had just taken a shower, and her slightly damp hair was draped around her waist. She was wearing a goose-yellow dress and was spotless.

"What do you think?"

"How about I pretend to be Friend Lu's lover?"

Zhou Qingxuan's pretty eyes blinked, her face was as bright as a bomb, and as she came closer, a fragrance as light as a clear lotus came.

"That's an idea."

Lu Changan pondered, but did not make an immediate decision.

"Aren't you afraid that the Zhou family will have objections if you do this?"

"In the Zhou family, Qingxuan is the future leader of one person and more than ten thousand people. As long as they are not a Taoist couple, they have no objection to their private life."

Zhou Qingxuan smiled brightly and her eyes were pure and charming. She took Lu Changan's arm and snuggled into his arms.

"What Miss Zhou just said was pretending."

Lu Changan said coldly.

Zhou Qingxuan said quietly: "The little girl naturally wants to act more realistically, so as not to expose her secrets in front of outsiders."

"Qingxuan has been practicing for more than 100 years. She has taken the Beauty Pill, and her youth has remained forever. She is still in perfect condition. She pretended to be the lover of fellow Taoist Lu. This little girl is inexperienced, so she gave in to fellow Taoist Lu."

"Unyielding."

Lu Changan was thoughtful and caressed her slim and smooth waist.

"Miss Zhou, you need to think carefully. No matter how good you pretend to be, there will be no additional benefits."

"As long as Fellow Daoist Lu is satisfied with the little girl's performance."

Zhou Qingxuan's bright eyes were filled with hazy water, her face was filled with red clouds, and she stood on tiptoes.

The two hugged each other for a long time. Zhou Qingxuan stretched out her hand on her waist and her skirt began to slide down.

"Miss Zhou's injury has not healed."

Lu Changan shook his head and stopped her movement.

He is physically strong and does not want to do anything unpleasant.

"Friend Lu Dao shows pity and cherishes the beauty, and the little girl is very happy."

Zhou Qingxuan's eyes were clear and charming, her skirt was half-unbuttoned, and she was holding Lu Changan's legs, with her delicate curves crawling like a maid.

…

Half an hour later.

Lu Changan sent the girl in yellow skirt with bright face, cherry lips and jade teeth out of the cave.

"Miss Zhou will go to Xiaodan Peak to recuperate for a while. When she has recovered most of her strength, she can return to her clan."

Lu Changan said.

"I'll follow Daoyou Lu's arrangement."

Zhou Qingxuan covered her pink lips with the back of her hand and smiled.

One month later.

Zhou Qingxuan, who had just recovered from her injury, left Wuqi Mountain.

The people on the mountain found that Lu Changan and Zhou Qingxuan were closer than before.

During this period, the female elder of the late foundation building stage of the beast-controlling Zhou family visited Xiaogui Peak many times.

However, the two had known each other for nearly a hundred years, so it didn't seem abrupt.

…

In the blink of an eye, two years passed.

No major events happened in the Liang Kingdom's cultivation world, and all the sect cultivators who had gone on an expedition to Feng Kingdom withdrew to their homeland.

The major sects began to reorganize their forces, issued tasks, and eliminated some of the evil cultivators who had come forward.

Some small and medium-sized cultivation forces were liquidated by the sect because of collusion and rebellion.

The business of Wuqi Mountain began to improve.

In the past two years, Zhou Qingxuan came to Wuqi Mountain several times, staying in Xiaogui Peak for a few days each time, showing an unusual relationship.

Every time he came, Lu Changan would receive some cultivation resources or materials, at least starting from the second-level upper-grade.

Every time Zhou Qingxuan brought resources, they all contained elixirs that promoted cultivation in the foundation-building period, including some fine elixirs.

Lu Changan understood that Zhou Qingxuan was dissatisfied with his slow cultivation and wanted to help speed it up.

In fact, Lu Changan, who was 137 years old, was getting closer and closer to the late stage of foundation-building.

His body-refining skills made faster progress in cultivation.

Most of the third-level spiritual sand stones that Shen Bixin helped collect that year had been consumed.

On this day, Lu Changan's "Cloud Sand Body Refining Skills" finally broke through the shackles and cultivated to the highest seventh level!
