Chapter 256: Meeting the King of the Kingdom of Women Again

Translator: 549690339
As these words were spoken, several people instantly quieted down. This damn chicken had some tricks up its sleeve, always bringing up the least opportune topics.

Yu Sanbian’s expression suddenly became stagnant as he stared blankly at Ji Wuqing, “Hua… Huazi?”

“Giggle, what’s the matter with you? I didn’t say anything.”

Seeing those crimson eyes, Ji Wuqing was frightened and leaped behind Li Xiaobai for cover.

“Exactly, Huazi can comprehend the Tao, enhance a person’s mental cultivation level, and moreover, Brother Li here has an unlimited supply. In that case, has Yu spent these three years practicing for nothing?”

“Old Man Bai Mei, you’ve misled me!”

“I, Yu Sanbian, am irreconcilably opposed to you!”

Yu Sanbian erupted, roaring up to the sky because of that old monk’s single sentence, wasting three years for nothing.

Li Xiaobai shook his head in lament. In fact, the old monk had not said anything wrong. Closed-eye Meditation indeed could develop in one’s mind’s eye, enhancing temperament and comprehension. It’s just that Yu Sanbian had encountered Li Xiaobai and had personally experienced the incredibly fast enhancement in comprehension.

Now, naturally, he looked down upon such primitive old methods.

“Amitabha, Brother Yu, relying on external forces indeed can quickly strengthen one’s mental cultivation level, but after all, it’s not the same as personally experiencing it. Only a temperament like Brother Yu’s, obtained through diligent study and hard practice, is the most solid. Moreover, have you noticed, Brother Yu, that you are now at the Divinity Transformation Stage?”

Liaowang advised, not quite sure how to console him in this situation.

“Yes, Brother Yu, three years have allowed you to advance from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Divinity Transformation Stage, and you’ve also mastered the Buddhist Sect’s supreme skill, Closed-eye Meditation, which is something to be glad about too.”

Su Mei’er also spoke up, noting that Yu Sanbian’s emotions were very unstable; they had to be steadied first.

Yu Sanbian came to his senses and carefully checked his physical condition. Indeed, the shackles on his cultivation level had been broken through, and he was now entering the realm of the Divinity Transformation Stage. Moreover, Closed-eye Meditation wasn’t as useless as he had imagined. His current perception of his surroundings had improved by more than just a single level.

Now, whenever he used his whip again, he could truly achieve the realm of being one with it.

After sensing all this, Yu Sanbian’s expression relaxed a great deal. Closed-eye Meditation was not entirely futile. It was just that he had set his expectations too high over the years and couldn’t accept such a huge disparity all at once, which was why he went berserk.

Now, upon thinking it through, he indeed had been too rash.

“I am aware now. Having just made a breakthrough, I still need time to stabilize my cultivation level. How about we first shake off the pursuers behind us?”

Yu Sanbian said slowly.

“Good!”

Liaowang nodded. Indeed, Monk Bai Mei was holding off those two Great Crossing Realm Experts to buy them time to escape. As long as they could leave the Western Desert, there would be no need for the old monk to fight to death against the opponent.

“Right, right, right, let’s get out of here first. When this lady returns to the Hehuan Sect, I will definitely gather the troops and flatten the Thousand Buha Temple!”

Su Mei’er was full of murderous intent; she had never suffered such humiliation since embarking on her path. Just the thought of being taken advantage of by those righteous cultivators made her unable to suppress the urge to kill.

“Then let’s get in the car, we’re leaving. There’s no hurry for a gentleman’s revenge, even if it takes ten years.”

Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist, and a Lamborghini appeared on the ground. He opened the car door, and several people quickly got in the car.

Just as Li Xiaobai was about to step on the accelerator and charge out, Ji Wuqing suddenly started shouting, “Boy, there’s something in the sky!”

Li Xiaobai was startled and looked up. In the sky, a palanquin was flying with the wind, with maids carrying it both at the front and back. The palanquin was of ancient wood with red curtains, elegant and luxurious. Petals scattered wherever it passed, and its path was heading straight for their location.

Who could this distinguished figure be, with such grandiose spectacle?

“Brother Li, there’s something fishy about that palanquin. We better get out of here fast,”

Su Mei’er spoke with a furrowed brow, having a bad premonition.

“It’s too late to leave; the other party has already locked onto Master Li’s vehicle. The little monk will get out of the car and have a talk with this master,”

Liaowang said as he opened the car door and got out.

“Amitabha, may I ask what brings you here, benefactor?”

“I’ve heard that Su Mei’er is in trouble, so this palace has come to lend a hand.”

From inside the palanquin, a crisp female voice emerged.

In an instant, Li Xiaobai felt a chill in his heart; he recognized the voice—it was the one belonging to Ling Xue’er, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, who had been auctioning items at the Treasure Pavilion that day.

What’s this woman doing in the Western Desert?

“Thank you for your help, senior. I am Su Mei’er. It’s a miracle I escaped with my life. May I ask for your honorable name?”

Su Mei’er’s face brightened; this was an ally.

“This palace is the Queen of the Kingdom of Women, Ling Xue’er. A few days ago, I saw in the Immortal Spirit Daily that a remarkable woman from our Immortal Spirit Continent had been harmed by a despicable person. This palace came specifically to help and eradicate the evil-doer.”

The woman inside the palanquin spoke indifferently.

“However, I didn’t expect to encounter an old acquaintance here. Demon Sword Li Xiaobai, this palace has been looking for you for a long time. Openly auctioning a female cultivator’s garments and even driving up the price with this palace. You have quite the skills.”

“Everyone knows that I, Ling Xue’er, despise lecherous men the most, yet you dared to auction a female cultivator’s Inner Armor in front of me. I gave Uncle Bao some face in the Treasure Pavilion, but meeting here today, I cannot let you go.”

With a shift in tone, Ling Xue’er’s voice turned icy cold, her killing intent fully revealed. The subtle but explosive aura made Li Xiaobai’s hairs stand on end.

“Brother Li, you actually know such a terrifying existence?”

Yu Sanbian swallowed hard; this was definitely a master on the same level as Monk Bai Mei. What kind of day was this, so lively?

“Giggle, boy, we’ve been spotted, let’s make a run for it!”

Ji Wuqing was also alarmed; this woman dared to make a scene in the Treasure Pavilion; she was ruthless.

“Senior Ling, Brother Li also came here to rescue the young lady. Brother Li is kind-hearted; could there be some misunderstanding in this?”

Su Mei’er asked, frowning.

“There’s no misunderstanding. I’ve come here to kill him today, it’s that simple.”

As she spoke, the palanquin landed and a delicate jade leg stepped out, revealing a stunningly beautiful face in front of everyone.

Ling Xue’er’s presence was overwhelmingly powerful; just standing there, she exuded the dignity of a queen.

“Cough cough, senior, it’s all a misunderstanding. And in the end, didn’t you buy that Inner Armor? So, it’s not a desecration of a female cultivator, right?”

Hard-pressed, Li Xiaobai crawled out of the Lamborghini, his mind diving into the System’s marketplace in a frantic search. Ling Xue’er was a top expert even within the Mahayana Realm. To survive under her hand today, he knew he would have to spend like crazy.

“You may die now.”

Ling Xue’er lifted her delicate hand, pointing a finger at Li Xiaobai. At that moment, the main force of the righteous cultivators arrived.

“Capture the Demonic Woman alive, kill the Demon Monk!”

“Kill Liu Jinshui!”

“There are accomplices here!”

Seeing Ling Xue’er, the cultivators stopped in their tracks, their breathing hitched, their eyes locked onto her with boorish infatuation. This woman was too beautiful; she wasn’t just another beauty—she was like an immortal descended to earth.

They exchanged glances and their breathing hastened unconsciously, their intentions becoming quite obvious—they had to capture today not only the Demonic Woman but also this Immortal!

“Who knew there would be accomplices!”

“Openly protecting a Demonic Woman, surely they must be from the Demon Path!”

“Today we, the righteous cultivators, shall act on heaven’s behalf and capture both Demonic Women!”
