Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 352 - 253: The Non-Human Cat Girl, True Word Secret Decree_2

"I just need to open my mouth, and at the cost of expending mana and the like, I can make the spoken words become reality."

"Of course, this ability is also subject to strict restrictions."

"For example, if I were to say 'I want to become a Tribulation Immortal,' I would either die on the spot or be eaten by a creature of Tribulation Immortal level."

"Or if I want a stone to turn into flesh and blood, I could just as well die instantly, because that goes against the natural laws of Heaven and Earth."

"Heaven and Earth operate on their own rules and reasons; this Secret Decree is actually like borrowing some authority from the Heavenly Venerate, allowing me to cheat a little, take some shortcuts, but as soon as I overstep even a bit, the backlash will be severe enough to take my life."

"Even so, this ability is still incredibly formidable."

As these thoughts settled, Tao Qian's gaze suddenly fell on Yunrong, who had been resting on a meditation cushion on one side of the quiet room and who, upon seeing Tao Qian awaken, had pounced straight at him.

Upon this glance, Tao Qian's wicked and playful thoughts could not be restrained.

Taking advantage of Yunrong, still in midair, two tempting words that he dredged up from memories of his previous life suddenly spilled forth.

In an instant, Tao Qian felt an enormous amount of mana being drawn away.

Then, in the midst of white fog, a warm and soft body with the characteristic cat ears and tail of the Kitten landed directly in Tao Qian's arms.

Yunrong, in the throes of budding desire, instinctively cuddled closer, extending her small tongue and licking Tao Qian's face, which had regained its comely appearance.

One lick was not enough; she subconsciously gave several more.

The soft and warm body twisted in Tao Qian's arms, and those paws couldn't keep still, wandering everywhere.

"Good gracious, this is the end of me."

"I'm really asking for trouble!"

Almost getting carried away, Tao Qian remembered that he still had critical tasks unfinished, so he had to muster great willpower to sternly place the Cat Girl beside him.

In the process, under Yunrong's confused gaze, Tao Qian hastily pleaded for mercy:

"Good sister, this place isn't the right territory, nor is it the right time. With a great tribulation ahead, we cannot be careless."

"Let's talk about the Kitten matter another time."

Tao Qian, who accidentally trapped himself with his newly acquired Divine Skill, quickly turned his attention back to unfinished matters.

The first tribulation to overcome!

Beyond the huge gains in mana and Divine Skills, there were also spoils of war.

The disembodied Desire Sin Tribulation Body from the Ultimate Happiness Realm of Lian Yulou was foremost among them.

Next were the contents of Lian Yulou's Storage Treasure Bag. Given his noble identity from his previous life and this life, it surely contained a great many treasures.

However, Tao Qian had not yet taken the time to inspect them; while he liked Cultivation Techniques and external items,

There is a priority in handling affairs, and overcoming the tribulation was the utmost concern.

Because of the opponent and the imminent calamity brewing, it was sure to be far more fearsome than Southern Yue.

Tao Qian was now urgently keen to uncover the inside information, to know oneself and the enemy, to make the right decisions.

The quiet room had long been set with Forbidden Techniques, and with a flick of his sleeve, Tao Qian directly summoned Lian Yulou's True Soul.

After a hit from the Refining God Seal, it was stored within the Holy Embryo Bag.

When Lian Yulou's True Soul appeared, it took a good while to emerge from its daze. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Seeing Tao Qian, it immediately understood its plight.

While regretting the prior misjudgments, it stared at Tao Qian coldly and said:

"I never expected that I, Lian Yulou, after lifetimes of cultivation, almost achieving Perfect status after eight tribulations, would fall into the hands of a tender novice who barely has years of cultivation. It must be destiny."

"But it's not altogether shameful; Buddha Bird Relics, Nine Toad Bead, Human Dao Fortune, Secret Demon Child... huh, quite the Spirit Treasure True Inheritor, worthy of being a Disciple that Duobao True Monarch was willing to accept exceptionally."

"Do you release me only to drain any value I have left, then to kill me?"

"If that's what you think, keep dreaming. My treasure bag is an Exotic Treasure, and my True Spirit will self-destruct the moment I perish."

"As for my body, you may use it as you wish. When a person dies, it's like a lamp extinguished; it's no longer my concern."

Hearing this, Tao Qian laughed.

If Lian Yulou truly did not fear death, he should have stayed silent.

So much babbling confirmed his fear of death.

But that was also very normal. According to the gossip Tao Qian heard from Yuan Gong, the emotional involvement Lian Yulou had was, in fact, with his past-life Disciple and current-life Master, now the Evil Sect Elder Zhuge Qingyi.

In other words, including Xiao Chenzhou, the nine destiny-tangled individuals linked with Lian Yulou were just transient passers-by, mere playactors.

My, what a world!

It's truly a mess.

Tao Qian commented inwardly, then looking at Lian Yulou with a smile, he said:

"Mr. Lian Daoist, don't try to deceive me. With un severed emotional ties and unresolved sinful entanglements, how could you bear to die just like that?"

"Furthermore, if I were to ruthlessly kill you, I'm afraid Elder Zhuge Qingyi would immediately come after me with another ten thousand Red Dust Sin Swords... Ah, I almost forgot, my Master Duobao True Monarch, hearing that you wanted to kill me, went to trouble your Master first with the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Slaying Sword."

"My Master is of the Ultimate Happiness Realm, and so is Elder Zhuge Qingyi. It's only fair."

Upon hearing these words, Lian Yulou's expression changed drastically.

He even wanted to jump up and roar at Tao Qian, "Fair my ass! Nevermind how shameless and filthy Duobao True Monarch is, just the fact that he's the designated next Spirit Treasure Sect Master tells you that in this vast Cultivation World, there are almost no cultivators of the Ultimate Happiness Realm who can stand against him causing trouble."

In this life as a human, Lian Yulou had often relied on Zhuge Qingyi's formidable reputation to act wantonly outside, never minding other cultivators.
