Chapter 689: Chapter 73: Graceful Silhouette

His words were a kind of probe, as that little girl might look obedient and cute, she was indeed a true Chaos Demon God, bearing the brutality and ferocity inherent in her bloodline and soul.

If the little girl didn’t want to listen, he would have no choice but to deploy some means on this little creature.

But that was a last resort; just recalling the mythological tales of Heavenly King Li and his son, one could foresee the consequences. Once done, the father-daughter bond would likely fade away.

Lu Tongtong blinked, curiously glanced at the Bright Pearl Dharma Form, and then said to Lu Chengfeng, "Papa, can I come out again after I go in?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Of course you can, it’s just that I’m busy with something and can’t take you along, so I’m letting you have fun temporarily in this Bright Pearl World."

"Once I’m done, I’ll bring you out."

Lu Tongtong immediately became happy, eagerly looking at the Bright Pearl Dharma Form, "In that case, I’ll go in."

Before her words fell, she transformed into a clear light and rushed into the Bright Pearl.

Watching her figure disappear, Lu Chengfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally setting aside certain thoughts for the moment, then turned to Qiutong and others, "Thank you for your hard work, you all should also return to the Bright Pearl World for now. I’m heading to the Shenxiao Palace next, which is fraught with unknown dangers, and you won’t be of any help."

"It’s better for you to return to the Bright Pearl World temporarily and help teach Tongtong. Although she is innately knowledgeable, she still needs someone to guide her, or else with her disposition, she’ll sooner or later become a lawless demon."

"Husband, don’t worry, I’ll do my best. Tongtong is your daughter, thus she is my daughter as well; I will take good care of her." Qiutong kissed Lu Chengfeng on the cheek and said gently, "Husband, be careful."

"Shenxiao Palace is the Empress’s bedchamber, filled with dangers inside. If things become untenable, it might be better to retreat."

"By then, we True Spirits can explore inch by inch instead."

"Although our strength isn’t as great as yours, we possess Undying Bodies, meant for times like this."

Her words were filled with sincerity, with every word brimming with care and love.

Lu Chengfeng patted her on the rear, speaking gently, "Be good, go now, I know what I’m doing."

Qiutong obediently nodded, with a soft smile, her expression affectionate, her figure enchanting, and with a slight twist, turned into starlight heading toward the Bright Pearl.

The relationship between the other three women and Lu Chengfeng was somewhat peculiar. Xiang Qingchi opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent, and the three also turned into starlight and left.

The cave suddenly became quiet, surrounded by Chaos Qi, shrouded in darkness from all sides, only the Shenxiao Palace emitted a hazy Immortal Light, as if it had sat eternally there since ancient times.

He was about to turn and head towards Shenxiao Palace when he suddenly sensed a disturbance within the Bright Pearl World, fearing some trouble, he quickly took a look.

He saw Qiutong and the others fall into the Bright Pearl World and gather at the center of the Five Elements Mountain with Lu Tongtong.

"Tongtong, would you like to come to your aunt here? I am your papa’s wife, you can call me stepmom or aunt." Qiutong squatted down, her ample bosom heavy, meeting the little girl’s eyes, "I like you very much, do you like me?"

Always obedient in front of Lu Chengfeng, Lu Tongtong now disdainfully curled her lips, "Do you even qualify to be my papa’s wife?"

In her pupils, a Cyan Lotus bloomed, emitting dim clear brilliance towards Qiutong, revealing a Cyan Simurgh spreading its wings and a towering parasol tree, exuding an aura of elegance and grace.

"A mixed-feathered bird, how dare you share the same color as me? Just watch as I pluck all your feathers!" Lu Tongtong said and took a step forward, her small white hand, like a heavy mountain, struck towards Qiutong’s head.

Qiutong was utterly shocked by such a turn of events, and before she could react, the fist was already coming at her head-on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lu Chengfeng could barely bear to watch, seeing Qiutong soon turned disheveled and bruised, angrily scolding, "Scoundrel... Scoundrel... Such a scoundrel..."

"Wretched woman, how dare you scold me, watch me teach you a lesson." Lu Tongtong immediately acted, touched her back, and drew out a blade shrouded in cyan light, its edge sharp beyond compare, tearing through the Void.

Qiutong, frightened to the point her face turned green, if truly struck by that blade, how could she survive? Even if she didn’t die, she would lose face utterly.

She transformed into a Cyan Simurgh in a panic, soaring into the sky, scrambling to escape.

"Hahaha, where do you think you’re going, mixed-feathered bird..." Lu Tongtong laughed evilly, hands on her hips, but did not chase her, instead setting her sights on Xiang Qingchi and her daughter.

"You two little mudfish, it seems you can turn into a pair of scissors?"

"Quick, transform and show me!"

Xiang Qingchi’s heart was stifled, wanting to fiercely discipline this little brat, but knowing she was no match now, felt helpless.

All she could do was grab her mother’s hand, and the two instantly turned and left.

But with Lu Tongtong eyeing them, how could she let them go easily? The girl immediately rushed forward with her blade.

Moments later, accompanied by pitiful and angry dragon roars, Lu Tongtong was seen grabbing a Dragon Tail in each hand, fiercely smashing two golden Flood Dragons onto the peak.

"Quick, quick, quick, transform or I’ll eat you."

"..." Lu Chengfeng watched the scenes unfolding in the Bright Pearl World, speechlessly. He knew that little rascal couldn’t possibly be the obedient girl she appeared to be.

Sure enough, as soon as he wasn’t around, she revealed her true nature as a troublemaker.

Yet, the little rascal was cunningly sharp, although aggressive, she was judicious, not delivering fatal blows, just teasing them.

"Forget it, even if I intervene now, she’d revert to old habits once I leave; I can’t watch over her all the time." Lu Chengfeng shook his head helplessly, "I’ll deal with it later; for now, focus on the task at hand."

All he could do was let his women endure some hardship; after all, they were Undying Bodies, and if they truly wished to leave the Bright Pearl World, they could communicate with him mentally and transform into starlight to vanish.

They each had their own thoughts and were willing to stay in the Bright Pearl World, so naturally, Lu Chengfeng wouldn’t force them to leave. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He fixed his gaze on the Shenxiao Palace, seeing a palace floating in the boundless Chaos, as if the Great Tao had descended, resembling the silhouette of a goddess.

"Alas, little junior sister, are you alright?"

Lu Chengfeng sighed, slowly walking towards the entrance of Shenxiao Palace.

...

Lu Chengfeng stepped into the palace, first arriving at the great hall he had been to once before, but the hall was empty now, with only the Chaos Qi filling it, the Empress who once sat on the throne long disappeared.

The Ancient Hall was silent; Lu Chengfeng stood there for a long while, recalling bits and pieces of past times with his junior sister, his heart filled with unspeakable complexity and a sense of sourness.

After a long while, he broke free from those emotions, slowly walked out the side door of the hall, and upon stepping out, it was like entering a different world.

Behind the great hall lay a world unto itself, with pine forests, clear springs, ancient peaks, and strange rocks, the Qi Mechanism light and agile, resembling a pure land on earth.

Lu Chengfeng felt a rush of pure Qi entering his body, his Dharma Form instantly felt light and agile, even his physique seemed nourished, akin to soaking in a warm spring, inducing a slight sense of intoxication.

"It really is a wonderful place!"

He marveled, for the world within Shenxiao Palace seemed like a real one, far more complete and miraculous than his Sun and Moon Gourd and Bright Pearl World.

He looked around, surveying the surroundings, soon spotting a woman sitting under a pine forest, her slender white feet submerged in a stream, revealing only her graceful back.

Her full round hips, slim waist, sculpt a charming body curve, especially her long, ivory-like legs beneath the glistening light of the stream, increasingly beautiful beyond measure.

"She’s indeed here!" Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but wear a smile on his face; his primary purpose this time was to find the White Tiger and, appreciating the woman’s beautiful and enchanting back, his heart filled with indescribable pleasure.

The Great Sun Celestial Patrol Divine Venerate was dead, the Earth Mother Dragon Venerate suppressed, now finding this White Tiger, all was proceeding smoothly.

Next, he would have to tame this White Tiger.

However, this tigress wouldn’t be easily tamed.
