Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 667 - 467: You Might Make a Killing

The sky was gloomy, heavy clouds packed the heavens, and a gentle rain pattered down relentlessly.

It beat against the corner eaves of the pavilion on the lake, splashing water all around.

Within the pavilion over the lake, Hong Yuan and Shang Yaoqin sat facing each other, sipping tea.

The former, dressed in black Daoist robes, was tall and well-built, his eyes bright and full of life. One could tell at a glance he was a gentleman on whom one could rely.

The latter, dressed in a dress of blue silk gauze, was tall and slender. Her face was so beautiful it could overturn states, yet her decisive and resolute nature was revealed with every frown and smile.

They were not engaged in sweet nothings, but instead were discussing the Sect Alliance's arrangements for the upcoming Battle for Destiny.

Of course, it was mostly Shang Yaoqin who spoke, with Hong Yuan providing supplementary comments.

It wasn't long before the winds grew fierce and the light rain turned into a downpour.

From time to time, thunder roared in the vault of heaven, with Thunder Pythons slithering amongst the clouds, a terrifying sight to behold.

Shang Yaoqin suddenly halted her words, turned her head to gaze at the sky, her eyes flashing with an imperceptible worry.

The Battle for Destiny was nothing new to her and not cause for her concern.

The only thing that could make her reveal such a girlish demeanor was her senior sister, Ye Zhuyin. After a long pause, Shang Yaoqin, as if she had made some decision, looked at Hong Yuan and said firmly,

"Hong Yuan, I'm very grateful for your continuous care. This is the insight from my cultivation journey. I hope you will accept it."

With those words, a glint of cyan light flashed from the Jade Flute at her waist, shooting into the air.

Five Jade Simples suddenly appeared in the air, colored red, orange, yellow, green, and white.

Hong Yuan sensed them briefly and realized that contained within were legacies related to Water Tao, Sound Tao, Luck Tao, Wisdom Tao, and Dream Tao!

"How could I possibly accept this…" Hong Yuan quickly stood to refuse, as he faintly felt that Shang Yaoqin was planning her affairs in case of death.

Shang Yaoqin only smiled and said nothing. She pushed the set of Jade Simples towards him, insisting that Hong Yuan accept them.

After refusing three times, he "reluctantly" accepted them, much to Shang Yaoqin's delight.

"Yaoqin, rest assured, as long as I live, I will protect Zhu Yin!" Hong Yuan pledged solemnly.

This only cemented the thought Hong Yuan had earlier. Shang Yaoqin truly harbored thoughts of death, pledging to die if she failed to achieve the Destiny of Great Dreams.

「A quarter of an hour later.」

Hong Yuan stood beneath the small pavilion, watching as Shang Yaoqin departed with her yellow oil-paper umbrella.

Even after Shang Yaoqin had left, Hong Yuan did not betray any unusual behavior, let alone show the joy of a schemer's triumph.

But in his heart, that was another story entirely.

Hong Yuan sat back down, took out the Jade Simples given by Shang Yaoqin, and began to comprehend them one by one.

After a while, his eyes revealed a surprised delight.

For the content of the inheritance in the Jade Simples was the culmination of Shang Yaoqin's cultivation insights throughout her journey!

If fortune permitted, it would be enough to create a Supreme Talent, not inferior to that of the Heavenly Horned Ant and Tianli.

How priceless was that?

This is the charm one gains from the persona of a Right Way Leader... When one's own strength is insufficient, who wouldn't want to entrust their family to the Right Way Leader? Hong Yuan thought to himself, feeling exceedingly comfortable.

Now it was only that Shang Yaoqin had entrusted Ye Zhuyin to him and given him a group of incredibly precious Daoist secrets.

In the future, if he, Hong Yuan, truly rose to power, would not Emperors' sons and Empresses entrust the Heavenly Palace to him?

Peaceful evolution!

「On the other side.」

Shang Yaoqin held her yellow oil-paper umbrella, her exquisite body radiating a cyan divine glow.

Every step she took, a lotus blossomed beneath her feet, and the mountains and fields were gilded with gold.

Soon, she reached the White Jade Palace where her senior sister Ye Zhuyin resided.

Yet for some reason, a sudden, unprovoked sense of anxiety washed over her.

She longed to join her senior sister Ye Zhuyin, but was also afraid she would bring the looming worry of the Battle for Destiny with her.

As she hesitated, slowly advancing, Ye Zhuyin from inside the house sensed something.

Ye Zhuyin called out, "Yaoqin? Yaoqin, is that you? Yaoqin, hurry in!"

At first, Ye Zhuyin was hesitant, but she quickly grew certain, running towards Shang Yaoqin.

Somehow, Shang Yaoqin's eyes grew wet with tears.

But quickly, Shang Yaoqin pulled herself together. She couldn't worry her senior sister Ye Zhuyin!

"Zhu Yin, I'm back," Shang Yaoqin opened the White Jade Gates, saying cheerfully, full of vigor.

Unlike her cold indifference when she killed Tang Tianlong and Dongfang Yang, and different from her mature demeanor with Hong Yuan,

in front of Ye Zhuyin, Shang Yaoqin seemed to shed all pretenses, becoming a vibrant young girl.

Like a mother hen embracing her brood, or as a swift returning to its nest, Ye Zhuyin held Shang Yaoqin tightly, unwilling to let go.

"As long as you're back, that's all that matters," Ye Zhuyin murmured, her face radiating a mother's glow.

Hearing these words, Shang Yaoqin's nose tingled with emotion.

At the same time, she became even more determined to win the Battle for Destiny.

The Battle for Destiny, to win or to die. She could not die!!!

「In a vast golden sea within the Dream World.」

Hong Yuan's Original Body lurked, and by his side, a dreamlike and beautiful butterfly fluttered quietly.

It was the Dream Worm.

Primarily white, it had a pair of translucent wings that exuded an otherworldly glow, with a large tail made of flowing light, reminiscent of immense colorful wings.

What mattered most was that although it was not skilled in combat, its ability to avoid disaster surpassed even the Great Moon Virtual Mirror.
