Chapter 243
The glow of the bronze seal gradually converged, as if it had completed an evolution, flying right in front of Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa reached out to take the bronze seal.
This seal had a reddish hue, with a human figure carved into its body, though the face remained indistinct.
For some reason, Zheng Fa felt a sense of compassion emanating from this faceless idol.
As soon as his fingers brushed against the seal, a profound message surged up his arm and into his consciousness.
The moment Zheng Fa connected with that information, he immediately understood: the instruction manual had been updated.
After finishing the new manual, a broad smile spread across his face.
After transforming into a bronze seal, his sealed land remained unchanged—this further confirmed his limited understanding of the Tianbei Realm (Heavenly Tablet Realm).
Of course, if Zheng Fa's assessment of the Tianbei Realm being akin to a grand tomb was also true...
Calling it a world made the Tianbei Realm seem a bit small.
But if it were a tomb... it was terrifyingly vast.
The other functions had not changed much from before.
What made Zheng Fa unable to hide his smile was—
The Tianbei Realm could now bring people in!
According to the bronze seal, he had gained two additional slots for sub-deities.
He could still vividly recall the reminder from Xiao Yuying when he first encountered her.
At the very least, Zheng Fa could now bring Senior Sister Zhang into the Tianbei Realm—under the worst circumstances, they could ensure their safety within it.
In fact, just as Xiao Yuying had said, with the two of them there, perhaps the demon clan wouldn’t dare to go all out.
...
Lost in thought about Xiao Yuying's reminder, he stepped out of the Tianbei Realm and immediately ran into her.
Yan Wushuang was also there.
Zheng Fa found the atmosphere between the two a bit strange.
It seemed like there had been a conflict, but it didn’t quite reach that level; it felt more like they were competing over something valuable.
He had no idea what it could be.
What could possibly make Yan Wushuang bold enough to argue with Xiao Yuying?
“Xiao Fairy? Brother Yan? You two…”
“It’s nothing, I’m just waiting for you,” Yan Wushuang said, grabbing Zheng Fa’s left arm and leading him out of the Thunder Pool.
Xiao Yuying remained silent, quietly following behind.
Zheng Fa was pulled along by Yan Wushuang, feeling utterly confused.
Xiao Yuying glanced at Yan Wushuang’s hurried demeanor, a smirk playing at the corners of her mouth, showing no signs of urgency.
Although Yan Wushuang was the leader of the Tianhe Sect, she had her own background.
Moreover, when it came to wealth, she had never felt inferior in the Xuanwei Realm!
What Yan Wushuang could offer Zheng Fa, she was confident she could provide tenfold or even a hundredfold!
She was curious to see what tricks Yan Wushuang had up her sleeve!
After a short while, they encountered Senior Sister Yuan, who had come to fetch Zheng Fa.
Senior Sister Yuan cast a puzzled glance at Zheng Fa, who was still trying to figure out the situation, and he could only shake his head in response.
After walking a bit further, Yan Wushuang glanced back, noticing that Xiao Yuying was still leisurely following them, showing no intention of leaving.
And Senior Sister Yuan certainly wouldn’t leave either.
With a determined bite of his lip, he boldly asked Zheng Fa:
“Brother Zheng, do you have someone you fancy?”
“…”
Zheng Fa looked at him in confusion.
He had no idea why he suddenly asked that.
“Our Tianhe Sect has many beautiful sisters, gentle in nature, truly suitable partners…”
Zheng Fa’s expression gradually turned strange.
Yan Wushuang’s tone sounded quite serious!
Behind them, Xiao Yuying pursed her lips, deep in thought; she never expected Yan Wushuang to take such an unconventional approach!
The problem was, she was a lone wolf, the kind that could easily capsize a friendship boat.
It was hard to find a tenfold fairy to match Zheng Fa…
Senior Sister Yuan’s eyes widened as she looked back and forth.
“Well…” Zheng Fa didn’t even think before rejecting, “The fairies of the Tianhe Sect are indeed wonderful, but I’m really not interested…”
“Fairy sects aren’t appealing…” Yan Wushuang stroked her chin, not waiting for Zheng Fa to finish before pondering, “No worries, I have some connections in the Xuan Nü Sect. If you come with me, you’ll definitely meet the true disciples of the Xuan Nü Sect…”
…
The Xuan Nü Sect, how to describe it? The largest chain foot-washing establishment in the Xuanwei Realm, where every girl possessed exceptional skills and was worth a fortune.
Previously, the Su Nü Sect, which operated a brothel in Jiushan Fangshi, seemed like a country bumpkin compared to them.
Moreover, the Xuan Nü Sect walked the line between good and evil; it was rumored to be a branch of a demonic sect, but no one could find evidence, highlighting its mystery and power.
Yan Wushuang really had quite the network!
Zheng Fa hesitated for a moment, glanced at Senior Sister Yuan, and finally said, “Well… I’m not really interested.”
Behind him, Xiao Yuying quietly sighed in relief; Yan Wushuang’s approach was a bit too wild…
“Not interested in fairy sects, and you’re not keen on demonic sect princesses either…” Yan Wushuang frowned, looking at Zheng Fa.
She fell into deep thought.
“Brother Yan?”
“Junior Brother Zheng, I know a few good men who are into that sort of thing… all talented individuals from our fairy sect!” Yan Wushuang suddenly said, “I can’t claim to be the best at finding female cultivators, but if you’re looking for someone in that area, no one can compare to me!”
…
Wait, your peculiar club really has all sorts of people!
Behind them, Xiao Yuying’s expression was one of shock; she was no longer feeling down.
She felt like her eyes had been opened, utterly stunned by the sheer force of Yan Wushuang’s efforts.
“Brother Yan!” Zheng Fa saw him getting more and more outrageous, and even Senior Sister Yuan was looking at him strangely, quickly waved his hands, “I’m even less interested!”
“Well… I really don’t have any connections in the demon clan… but I do know a few cultivators who are into that sort of thing, and I can introduce you to them! You can exchange ideas together!”
“…”
Senior Sister Yuan listened, her brows gradually relaxing, her round eyes sparkling with intelligence.
Seeing his peculiar understanding, Zheng Fa didn’t even respond, simply cupping his hands in a bow and taking Senior Sister Yuan to make a hasty exit—if he continued, his reputation would be ruined!
…
Once back at their residence, she dropped Zheng Fa and rushed straight to Senior Sister Zhang’s courtyard.
“Senior Sister Zhang! Senior Sister Zhang! It’s bad! Zheng Shidi…”
In the courtyard, Senior Sister Zhang appeared, looking at Senior Sister Yuan with a slight frown, “What happened to Zheng Shidi?”
“He’s about to be taken away by a man!”
“…”
Senior Sister Zhang looked Senior Sister Yuan up and down, shaking her head, seemingly thinking she was talking nonsense.
“Really! It’s that Yan Wushuang!”
“…”
Senior Sister Zhang chuckled and shook her head, appearing skeptical.
“He said he wanted to introduce the sisters of the Tianhe Sect to Zheng Fa!”
Senior Sister Zhang’s brows lightly furrowed.
“But Zheng Shidi rejected it!”
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly.
“And then Yan Wushuang wanted to introduce Zheng Fa to the demon girls of the Xuan Nü Sect!”
Senior Sister Zhang’s expression turned cold, softly murmuring, “Yan Wushuang…”
“Zheng Shidi rejected that too!”
A satisfied smile appeared on Senior Sister Zhang’s face.
“Then Yan Wushuang was going to introduce Zheng Fa to men!”
“Zheng Shidi would never agree to that.”
This time, Senior Sister Yuan didn’t even mention Zheng Fa’s reaction; Senior Sister Zhang spoke directly.
“Really? How do you know, Senior Sister?”
“Look at the way he looks at you and me; does he seem like someone who likes men?” Senior Sister Zhang scoffed.
“…”
Senior Sister Yuan glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, then lowered her head, suddenly enlightened.
“But… I think there’s something off about Xiao Yuying!”
Senior Sister Yuan still didn’t feel at ease.
“Xiao Yuying?”
Senior Sister Zhang’s heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Yuying was naturally not lacking in looks, with legs that went on for days.
More importantly, her cultivation talent and wealth were certainly not inferior to her own.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because Xiao Yuying’s reaction when she heard Yan Wushuang speak and Zheng Shidi’s rejection was exactly the same as yours, Senior Sister!”
“…”
Senior Sister Zhang lightly furrowed her brows, recalling the last time Xiao Yuying praised Zheng Fa—something she herself couldn’t even bring herself to say!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xiao Yuying had ulterior motives, that she had been scheming all along.
When Zheng Shidi said that she had her eyes on his lightning talent, Senior Sister Zhang thought for a moment and felt it was quite reasonable to remove the words “lightning talent”!
Senior Sister Zhang felt a slight turmoil in her heart.
Looking up, she saw Senior Sister Yuan sitting nearby, lost in thought, grinning foolishly.
“What are you thinking? Smiling so happily?”
Lost in her thoughts, Senior Sister Yuan naturally replied, “That Yan Wushuang wants to introduce Zheng Shidi to the demon clan, and Zheng Shidi didn’t refuse…”
“…”
Senior Sister Yuan covered her mouth, seemingly realizing she had let something slip.
“Um… Senior Sister, I didn’t mean to hide it from you…”
Senior Sister Zhang shot her a cold look.
She truly hadn’t expected to have a traitor right beside her!
