Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 688: Are You Not a Man?
Lights in tens of thousands of households in Shanghai lit up brightly as night fell. The vibrant colorful night was like showing a dream fantasy of flourishing prosperity. Streets with endless traffic and long lines of lights resembling shining dragons, while the surrounding 40-story building purposely distributed warm currents in the cold winter.
Tomson Villas.
All the windows were open, but the room itself was dim. Then, on that dark night, a slender figure sat by the window kneeling down, holding a yellowish book sewn with gold thread and reading it quietly.
“Five angles and six starlight. The stars were interconnected and the array formation was folded in layers to form the most mysterious Six Starlight Array. The center is the core while the five visible stars form the gate. . . ”
Under the dim moonlight shining on the yellowing paper, a Six Starlight Array pattern was drawn on it alongside a flying dragon and a dancing phoenix. If Tang Xiu was here, he would definitely be stunned, because the cluster of the Six Star Light Array on the paper was exactly the pattern he saw in the plant-grown cave in the Longquan Cane Swamp, where the Soul Calming Stone and the compacted Dragon Eye were embedded in his ceiling.
Xue Yu closed her eyes as her slender fingers continued to move. Special energies descended from the sky and covered it. In his eyes, it seemed like the trajectories of the stars were spinning together with the light of the blooming moon.
Breezy…
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. Mutton Fat Jade-ike's face seemed to break and paled, and an expression of frustration and disappointment gradually appeared on his face.
"The ancestor handed this Six Starlight Array chart to me and I've studied it for a long time, but it's a pity that I couldn't solve the last profound mystery within it. I needed to manifest my own worth as a woman, because my value in her eyes was almost zero. I must break this Six Starlight Array to help him open the portal to the Immortal Trove. The Ancestor said that my chance was on him and my life was closely tied to him, as he was the only one who could accompany me for thousands of years along the destiny on the eternal path. . . ”
Xue Yu's expression gradually turned tenacious. When he took out a white silk handkerchief to wipe the blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes then returned to the yellowed book that was sewn with gold thread.

Shanghai, Jingding District.
Located in the northwestern part of Shanghai, the Classic Park fully reflects the theme of "natural beauty". The surroundings of the place were beautiful with stacked rocks, octagonal pavilions, winding bridges, and sparkling lakes. Apart from walkways in forests purportedly built with machines, the intricate application of various landscaping techniques of imitation, adjustment, and separation of spaces in garden landscapes creates multivariate and intricate landscapes, and, whether small or large in size, it produces in artistic effect alternative and surreal landscapes.
Through the folds of layers of hills and water along with a garden planted with flowers and trees, the Classical Garden is a classic architecture that depicts a beautiful landscape that is poetic and pictorial in and of itself, creating a "town forest" where people and nature coexist harmoniously in this bustling metropolis.
And precisely in this place was the Imperial Garden located!
Under the night curtain, all the paths in the Imperial Garden were illuminated with huge red lanterns, while the lingering scent of agarwood incense lingered in the air. Wearing floral plaques coats and feet with embroidered shoes, the women littered various small courtyards, holding trays and serving up delicious dishes and delicious food.
"Young Master!"
Upon seeing the pale and serious-looking Chu Yuan, everyone in the Imperial Garden would stop and greet him. Chu Yuan would nod and greet them one by one if it was before, but he was in a hurry today, and his unusual expression left everyone confused and confused.
In the middle of the Imperial Garden, there was only a three-storied classical pavilion. The scent of Spit Dragon Scent filled the air at every corner when an old woman with long white hair was there, stroked the three-foot gold ring and faced the cattail meditation with the socks she had previously sat on.
Crunched…
The wooden door pushed gently open from the outside, as Chu Yuan entered the room quietly and then sat down on the cattail sock next to the old woman. His eyes had no spirit, were dragged by his thoughts and looked like a person whose soul was taken away.
The old woman turned her head and was shocked when she saw Chu Yuan's expression. His eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly, hummed coldly and said, “Heart-fire Cleansing spell .. ten times. ”
Chu Yuan looked startled and then immediately lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
When Chu Yuan finished reading the Fire-Cleaning Spell within his heart, his eyes immediately opened. But this time, a shining light flashed within it like a sharp blade.
"Do you have anything that bothers you inside?" The old woman's eyes landed on the three-foot golden ring and asked in a calm tone.
Chu Yuan firmly nodded, “I went to visit Tang Xiu and confirmed that it was he who killed Jin Sanchi and Jin Sijie. He also sent people to besiege all the sects under the Strange Door and kill the eight Masters. I have also confirmed that he is a typical cultivator and possesses extremely frightening strength. Our Imperial Park intelligence system assigned 18 investigation teams to all parts of the country, and only 17 of them returned with intelligence reports. The team we lost contact with was the one assigned to investigate the forces behind it. ”
"You made a mistake . "The old woman shook her head and sighed.
"What did I do wrong?" Chu Yuan asked with a puzzled expression.
"You shouldn't have sent people to investigate because you've guessed that what happened to the Strange Door and the person who made Jin Sanchi and Jin Sanji meet their bad luck is related to him," said the old woman. "You should stop getting involved in anything that has to do with it. In this era, our Imperial Garden does not have the power to raise a Dragon to become an Emperor anymore. We can only maintain our old ways in silence and hide under light and obscurity. But he ... or his world was more brutal and cruel, more than the experience many generations of Imperial Garden ancestors had experienced. It was a good opportunity for people like a goldfish to jump through the doors of a Dragon as well as the very deep hell of the human world. ”
The fierce gaze of the old woman instantly landed on him. He retracted the scope of his weak spiritual power in all directions to finally stretch several meters away.
"Have you thought about it?"
Chu Yuan replied firmly, "I have. ”
The old woman looked at him deeply and slowly closed her eyes. After a long while, he patted his palm and four fuzzy figures appeared in front of them. The old man's tone and expression turned much colder than before and his momentum surged, “Send my decree. Chu Yuan was no longer the Young Master of the Imperial Garden from today onwards. He would also resign from the opportunity to inherit the position of Imperial Garden Master in the future. Tell Lord Bo of the Imperial Affairs Room to hang his name as the Imperial Garden Foreign Affairs Elder. Also, spread this news. ”
"This …. ”
The four old men who appeared in lightning looked surprised. They had watched Chu Yuan evolve and grow. It could be said that he was the most outstanding young man among the younger generation of juniors throughout the entire Imperial Garden. Moreover, her father was the Imperial Garden Master and this old woman was her grandmother.
Butwhy? Why should he be disinherited?
"GO!" The old woman shouted in a deep and heavy tone.
The expressions of the four old men changed slightly and immediately nodded and left.
The atmosphere within the room was rather solemn, and the scent of Spit Dragon Aroma could no longer make one feel relaxed. After quite some time, the old woman sighed, waved her hand and said, "In addition to the effort you have already put in yourself, you will leave the rest to others in the Imperial Garden! After that, you should not return to the Imperial Garden unless it is a holiday or due to an important matter. Being a Foreign Affairs Elder is nothing but an idle job, so you will be free in the future. ”
Chu Yuan took a deep breath and knelt down to pay the kowtow three times to the old woman and said, "Please take good care and stay healthy, Grandma. The Imperial Garden is my home, and I will return to see you whenever I miss you. ”
After which, he got up, sorted his clothes and walked out of the door. He had no idea that when his figure disappeared outside the door, the old woman's cold face was replaced with a bright smiling face, and even the wrinkles on her face stretched out.
“Through my command to try to find out information about cultivators. Get people to make business deals with them. Do that while hiding their identity, and they would have to obtain the ancient manuals of cultivation techniques even if they had to pay more. My grandson has made up his mind, so we will let him run through this predicament and get angry himself. Perhaps she will open the gates to the future for our Imperial Garden, ” the old woman said with a smile.
"understandable. ”
An invisible little voice came out several meters away. The spiritual energy around fluctuated slightly before returning to normal.

Shanghai, Bluestar Villa Complex.
Tang Xiu was struck with a headache looking at the smiling Ouyang Lulu in front of him. She holds an invitation in her hand that has just been handed over, wanting her to accompany her to the Venus Music music party tomorrow night. In Tang Xiu's eyes, music was just a spice to spice up life, but there was no need to go to see the show. Not to mention his achievements in the field of music far exceeded the current music standards by several times.
"Tang Xiu, you agreed to accompany me as we talked on the phone back on the winter break," Ouyang Lulu added suddenly after seeing the unwillingness in Tang Xiu's expression.
“Let's just say I'm afraid of you. Alright, I will leave tomorrow, ” Tang Xiu said with a forced smile.
Ouyang Lulu laughed cheerfully and untied the buttons of her coat, took them off and threw them to the side. She then sat down beside Tang Xiu and said, "I'll stay here tonight?"
"What are you going to do here?" Tang Xiu asked in a more depressed tone. “I still have class tomorrow. ”
Turning his eyes towards her in a charming manner, Ouyang Lulu directly pulled his arm and rubbed it against the two huge deadly weapons on his chest, saying, “Don't lie to me. Tomorrow is Saturday, you don't have classes on your campus at all. ”
Tang Xiu did lie to her, but she never expected that she would directly reveal it. He had already promised to accompany Mu Wanying to his company tomorrow. How could he have time to stay with Lulu? It seemed like he wouldn't agree if the music show was held tonight either.
"You ... Can you sit in your own place?"
Tang Xiu no . Liu Xiahui . But Ouyang Lulu's constant buxom rubbing feeling on his arm, and then glancing at the deep snow trench outlined by his low collar outerwear immediately sent heat flowing down his belly.
Ouyang Lulu stared blankly for a moment and then stared at the part where she and Tang Xiu made physical contact. He blinked his eyes and, not only did he stay away, he even curled up tighter. "What's? Are you te or something? I will be yours sooner or later, Tang Xiu. Tell me, are you still a man? I've been eagerly ushering in to your doorstep, yet you've been timidly evading and resisting with all sorts of excuses all the time. How about you take your pants off and let me see if you're still a boy? ”
"Ho .. Holy shot!"
