Celestial Venerable Xiao, Heavenly Lady Qiang, and Heavenly Lady Yan were puzzled and inquired. Celestial Venerable Hong told them about the events at West Extremities and chuckled, âI took advantage of Dao Brother Mu and received an acknowledgement of debt from him.â
Everyone expressed their envy, and Heavenly Lady Qiang chuckled. âWhen will Celestial Venerable Mu write me an acknowledgement of debt?â
Qin Mu smiled. âYou flatter me, you flatter me.â
Everyone laughed.
However, at this moment, a stream of light streaked across the sky. Little Sevenâs, the white cat, pupils shrunk and became a sharp line and meowed. Heavenly Lady Yan immediately said, âGod Sovereign Lang Xuan[1], wait, wait!â
The flowing light stopped. It was God Sovereign Lang Xuan. When he saw the two carriages, he immediately stood up and greeted, âAh, so it is everyone!â
Celestial Venerable Xiao smiled. âThe cold air outside is heavy. Come into the carriage quickly.â
God Sovereign Lang Xuan was about to walk over when he saw Qin Mu in the carriage. He snorted and said, âIâm not going to sit with him!â After he said that, he turned his head and walked towards Celestial Venerable Haoâs carriage.
Celestial Venerable Hong hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile, âDao Brother Mu, donât take it to heart. This is just his nature, heâs very straightforward.â
Qin Mu said angrily, âGod Sovereign wonât even look at me, I donât know how I have offended him!â
Everyone laughed, âYou have destroyed his Lang Xuan Divine Palace time and time again, so he naturally has some complaints about you. However, this is a just some small matter. When Celestial Venerable Hong invites us to drink again, you two can just talk things out.â
Qin Mu was indescribably touched and said, âMany thanks to Dao friends for caring for me.â
The white cat meowed again, and everyone looked outside. They couldnât help being delighted and shouted, âDivine King Zu, over here!â
Divine King Zu paused in the sky and saw a glimpse of Qin Mu. He was furious and said, âIf there is Qin Mu, then there is no me!â After he said that, he walked into Celestial Venerable Haoâs carriage.
Qin Mu said angrily, âI have offended God Sovereign Lang Xuan, but I havenât offended him. Why is Divine King Zu always so against me?â
Everyone laughed. âDivine King Zu abhors evil, and his eyes canât tolerate even a half grain of sand. Our eyes are big, so itâs fine even if we have a few specks of sand in our eyes.â
Qin Mu laughed and said, âIâve been opening my heart to you all, yet you all treat me like a grain of sand. My heart is pained.â
Heavenly Lady Qiang smiled. âThereâs no need to say that, Celestial Venerable Mu. Everyone is clear about this... Ah, Celestial Venerable Gong! Dao Friend Gong, Dao Friend Gong, come here quickly!â
Celestial Venerable Gong stopped and lifted the curtain. He looked around in astonishment and said, âThis carriage is full, Iâll go to that...â
âDonât! Donât!â
Heavenly Lady Qiang hurriedly jumped up and grabbed her arm. âThe people in the other carriage are all stinky men. We have two women here, so youâll definitely feel more comfortable here. Why donât you stay and let us sisters talk?â
Celestial Venerable Gong didnât bat an eyelid. She gently shook off her grasp and said, âIâll stay. Was it Founding Emperor and the demoness of the masters of creation who did evil and destroyed Celestial Heavens?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Everyone nodded, and Celestial Venerable Hong sighed. âThe demoness and Founding Emperor committed evil and attacked our weakness, almost causing a huge disaster. How hateful, how hateful!â
Qin Mu smacked his armrest and said angrily, âOld scoundrel Qin Ye and I are irreconcilable. I will definitely tear him apart when we meet!â
Everyone advised him, âCalm down, Celestial Venerable Mu. Itâs not worth being angry over this fellow.â
Qin Mu was furious and said, âI want to spit on his face!â
Everyone said, âEveryone is well aware of Dao Brother Muâs intentions, so thereâs no need to say any more. Calm down, calm down.â
Heavenly Lady Yan smiled. âJust now, Celestial Venerable Mu said that Ancestral Court has reappeared in the world, and benefits shall be equally divided between everyone. What do you think?â
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Celestial Venerable Hong smiled and said, âDao Brother Mu words are too rough, but the principle isnât. The benefits in Ancestral Court are huge, so we indeed have to split them. Iâm a Celestial Venerable of the demon race, so I naturally have to consider the interests of the demon race.â
Heavenly Lady Yan smiled. âI saw many treasures from the ancient gods, and they were all from Ancestral Court. I was a little greedy, and only thought about myself but I didnât consider my own race. Itâs my fault.â
Heavenly Lady Qiang lamented, âHis Majesty hasnât visited me for many years, and my affection has shifted to jewellery. I have to get some to play with.â
Celestial Venerable Gong was being cold and didnât say anything.
Celestial Venerable Hong frowned and said, âIf the seal of Ancestral Court is broken, it wonât be a good thing for this world! Instead, it will be an calamity of the world! I donât agree...â
Qin Mu pulled open the dragon qilinâs ear and took out Tiny Earth Count that was dozing off. He said with a smile, âI have a way to enter Ancestral Court without breaking its seal, thatâs why I propose to split the benefits equally. Even though Ancestral Court is dangerous, itâs not a good idea to keep the dangers sealed inside. Itâs best to get rid of it. The Celestial Venerables of our Heavenly Alliance[2] have this duty.â
He poked at Tiny Earth Count, and Tiny Earth Count woke up. He looked at him with a solemn expression, clearly unhappy that he was forced awake.
Heavenly Lady Yan and Heavenly Lady Qiang looked over, surprised and delighted. They smiled. âEarth Count is frighteningly big, but I didnât expect this fellow to be so cute!â
Qin Mu smiled. âOf course itâs very cute.â
Tiny Earth Count yawned and spat out a book.
Celestial Venerable Xiao raised her left eyebrow when she saw this book.
Heavenly Lady Qiang asked curiously, âWhat book is this?â
âIt is this little fellowâs book of oaths.â
Qin Mu explained, âI once sworn brotherhood with my three older brothers. Those three brothers either died or disappeared, making me sigh to this day. Now that I think of them again, my heart is quite moved.â
He took the book of oath, and his heart stirred slightly. He sensed the contents of the oath and turned to look at Celestial Venerable Xiao, who had a calm expression.
He also sensed that Qin Mu had sensed him through the oath and said, âIâll consider it carefully. Celestial Venerable Muâs suggestion isnât impossible, so letâs split the benefits equally.â
Qin Mu sensed the contents of the oath again, and his heart suddenly trembled. His expression became incomparably strange.
Xiao was ancient god Celestial Emperor, but the second person he sensed wasnât Celestial Venerable Hong as he had guessed!
Back then, he had sworn brotherhood with the masters of creation, Luo Xiao, Da Hong, and Gu Xiao. The oath that these three brother shall die on the same day, same month, and same year was made through this Tiny Earth Count!
Qin Mu only dared to take out the oath book when Celestial Venerable Gong was around to threaten ancient god Celestial Emperor and Grand Emperor!
However, other than the dead Luo Xiao and Qin Mu himself, he had confirmed that Xiao was Celestial Emperor, but Grand Emperor wasnât Celestial Venerable Hong!
He slowly raised his head and looked at Heavenly Lady Qiang, who was talking and laughing with Celestial Venerable Gong.
Heavenly Lady Qiang chuckled. âCelestial Venerable Mu is sneaking glances at me. Be careful of Celestial Emperor decapitating your head.â She giggled.
Qin Muâs expression became incomparably weird. âBastard...â
Celestial Venerable Xiao followed his gaze and looked at Heavenly Lady Qiang. Her expression became strange, and he had the same thought as Qin Mu. âBastard!â
Qin Mu hurriedly rolled up the oath and stuffed it into Tiny Earth Countâs mouth. He then stuffed Tiny Earth Count back into the dragon qilinâs ear. His heart thumping wildly.
âDamn it, damn it... Bah, I shouldnât say vulgarities!â
His heart was in a mess. When he had entered Celestial Heavens and taken over Celestial Emperorâs corporeal body, Heavenly Lady Qiang had laid seductively on his palm to seduce him. Now that he thought about it, he felt a confusing fear.
âDamn it, Grand Emperor is Heavenly Lady Qiang, so who is Celestial Venerable Hong?â
He turned to look at Celestial Venerable Hong. Celestial Venerable Hong looked at him kindly and chuckled. âCelestial Venerable Mu still owes me a favour.â
