Chapter 380: Apocalyptic Black Lotus, The Century Calamity! Ao Jiao's Brutal Beating of Liu Jianmin
Chapter 380: Apocalyptic Black Lotus, The Century Calamity! Ao Jiao's Brutal Beating of Liu Jianmin (Part 2)
..
"Senior, I've discovered some secrets."
Lin Fan informed her through the Sound Transmission Talisman, "In the core area of the Bodhi Jewel Forest, there is some special black substance. That substance can block both visual and divine sense detection. Sister Wu's detection failed because of the existence of this black substance."
He felt a bit helpless.
He had even brought a bottle of it.
Thinking that if there was a chance, he could bring it back for research.
Unfortunately, the Black Lotus was too terrifying and didn't give him any opportunities.
So, for now, I can only describe it verbally and can't provide a sample, let alone study what that thing is and whether there's a way to counter it.
If we could thoroughly research it and come up with a solution, this problem would be much easier to solve.
If the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Mother were to make a public announcement about the Apocalyptic Black Lotus being discovered by the Heaven-Watching Mirror...
The Buddhist Sect would surely take action immediately.
Unfortunately, that's not an option right now.
"Fortunately, if my guess is correct, there's still about eighty years before the Apocalyptic Black Lotus erupts. So, I have ample time to prepare and deal with this matter."
For great figures like the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Flowers, eighty years is but a snap of the fingers.
But for Lin Fan, eighty years is an extremely long time.
Not to mention, it's actually over eighty years.
That's enough time for most ordinary people on Earth to live out their entire lives.
As for the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Flowers, Lin Fan didn't hide much from her.
Perhaps, among the 'elders' of her caliber in the Immortal Martial Continent, aside from the ascended Gatlin Bodhimanda, she is the only one worthy of trust.
After all, she can know almost all secrets except for his own golden finger, yet she has never revealed any of them.
This alone makes her worth befriending.
Moreover, she must have known that he, disguised as Tang Wu, had entered the Bodhi Jewel Forest. How could she not pay close attention to him at all times when she was the one who wanted him to 'operate' in the first place? With the Heaven-Watching Mirror in hand, what couldn't she see except for what happened after entering that area?
"Hmm?"
Just as Lin Fan had expected, Gu Xing Lian showed no curiosity or asked about his actions before entering that area. She only pondered and asked, "Black substance?"
"Could it have any effect on people?"
"I didn't stay there long, so I didn't notice anything unusual," Lin Fan replied truthfully.
"Then, are there any other abnormalities?"
"Yes!!
"Can't you tell me?"
"Well... it's hard to say."
"..."
"Then you don't have to tell me."
Gu Xing Lian didn't press further, only saying, "If you think you can handle it, go ahead. If you need help at a critical moment, just ask."
"Mhm."
Lin Fan agreed, "Junior will do it."
But...
By then, it won't just be you and the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Mother.
The twelve great sacred lands, and even the entire Immortal Martial Continent, will 'explode'.
At that time, I won't even need to 'invite' you, and you'll probably be eager to take action yourself, right?
"Let's leave it at that."
"..."
...
The communication ended once again.
Lin Fan began considering the details of his next plan and making the necessary preparations.
The next day, Xiao Ling Er returned and came to see Lin Fan.
Her face was filled with 'annoyance' as she said, "Master, have you heard the news?"
Lin Fan nodded, his expression unchanged, and said, "That Tang Wu is not a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so difficult to deal with. It turns out that all his previous appearances were just clones, and now that the real one has made his move..."
"Never mind."
"It's just some worthless stuff of his. Take it if you want, as long as you're safe."
"Mhm, I think so too," Xiao Ling Er nodded, but then her tone changed, "But Master, you knew that Tang Wu was chasing me, yet you never contacted me?"
"Could it be..."
"You don't love me anymore?"
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, but he remained as calm as an old dog, chuckling lightly, "The little bird has grown up and must learn to fly on its own."
"You are my disciples, and I trust you more than anyone."
"Besides, by the time I received the news, you had already arrived safely at the Moon Embrace Palace."
"And I believe that you can handle this matter. Why would I want to add to your worries?"
"However, I did neglect your feelings. I'll be more mindful in the future."
"So that's how it is."
"I'm not even angry, I just misunderstood you."
"Disciple will return to the Pill Tower now. I gained some insights from this trip..."
Xiao Ling Er smiled and left.
Gained insights?
Lin Fan didn't take it seriously.
It's not that he didn't care, but for these 'hanger-on' cultivators, even if they were locked up at home, they could still gain insights from time to time. How much more so after going out for a trip? It had long become a common occurrence.
But the problem was, he found that he still wasn't thorough enough, lacking in details!
"Is this a test?"
Lin Fan stroked his chin, "So, Xiao Ling Er has already discovered something, or at least has some suspicions."
"I was too careless."
"From Xiao Ling Er's perspective, he has always been very concerned about her, but this time, after learning that she was being chased, he showed no reaction or concern..."
"It definitely looks suspicious."
"I must be more cautious in the future."
Lin Fan sighed.
But he couldn't blame himself for being careless, after all, he and Xiao Ling Er were acting, and it was hard to think of everything at once. It was quite 'schizophrenic'!
"In any case, if there's a similar situation in the future, I must try to be as thorough as possible."
"Phew."
"Let's begin planning, plotting against the Buddhist Sect, and resolving the Apocalyptic Black Lotus."
"But this task, I accept it now!"
"..."
...
"What about Long Ao Tian?!"
Eastern Domain.
A group of Feathered Clan demon kings looked at each other in disbelief, "You lost him?!"
"How could this be!"
A Ninth Stage demon king shouted, "It's just Long Ao Tian, and he has managed to escape from us multiple times. Each time he appears, he kills at least one demon king and then escapes!"
"But that's not all, this time, we completely lost track of him. What are you all... what are you even doing?
"Absolutely outrageous!"
The group of demon kings were berated to the point of being covered in dog blood, but none of them dared to retort.
They could only mutter in their hearts, "You, a Ninth Stage cultivator, ended up losing him too, didn't you?"
"..."
"Why are you all still standing there?!"
"Find him! Chase him!!"
Everyone: "..."
Chase what ghost? Where the hell are we supposed to chase to?
...
A hum.
The spatial vortex dissipated.
Long Ao Tian's figure vanished in a flash.
After confirming he had arrived in the Western Region, he changed his position multiple times and sought out uninhabited areas to ensure no one was paying attention to him. Only then did he quietly transform into Long Ao Jiao.
Following the route given by Lin Fan, he pursued relentlessly.
"Hmph!"
"I want to see what this manwhore really is!"
"And then I'll beat you up and take you back to the Moon Holding Sect."
"..."
Long Ao Jiao's speed was very fast.
Although Liu Jianmin was also very cautious, constantly hiding and changing his direction, Long Ao Jiao, with Lin Fan's 'lock-on' ability, quickly closed the distance between them.
Until the dusk of this night.
In an unnamed desert.
Liu Jianmin, who had been sitting cross-legged, meditating and dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
Whoosh!
A figure descended from the sky.
The black high heels sparkled, the oily hair was smooth and glossy, and the tight skirt accentuated an incredibly perfect figure.
Following the waist upward.
Without even needing to compare, it was clear that the 'thunder' was so large that the owner had to look down to see their feet.
Moving further up...
A stunningly beautiful face came into view. Even though Liu Jianmin's face was already enough to cause national disaster, seeing this face made him momentarily dazed.
Beautiful!
Too beautiful!
However...
At this moment, the beauty's face was full of mockery, and she looked quite intimidating, which left Liu Jianmin puzzled.
But what caught his attention more was her attire.
High heels, and a tight skirt...
Was this kind of attire appropriate for this era?!
M
"Could it be..."
"My identity has been exposed?"
But what did this have to do with her, and why was she so aggressive?
He couldn't figure it out, so he tentatively asked, "Fellow traveler?"
"What fellow traveler?"
Long Ao Jiao coldly snorted, looking at the person before her—she wasn't sure if this was a woman or a man. She was just seething with anger.
To be fair, Liu Jianmin was really beautiful!
Not to mention the woman's attire, his hair was styled in a seductive manner.
That was one thing!
But his looks were genuinely stunning.
From Long Ao Jiao's perspective, he was only slightly inferior to herself.
He could rival Xiao Ling Er and others!
Moreover, he had an extra touch of playful cuteness, which was even more attractive to men.
Long Ao Jiao had to admit that if Liu Jianmin were a woman and she were still a man, she would definitely take her into her harem just for her looks!
Not only the face!
Even ignoring the face, Liu Jianmin's figure was very feminine.
Slim, narrow shoulders, a slender waist, and a pert bottom...
The only flaw was the lack of 'thunder.'
After all, he was a man, and this world didn't have hormone drugs. It would be strange if he had 'thunder.'
But!!
The problem was, he was a man!
Why did a man need to look so devastatingly beautiful?!
More importantly, his mentality was also that of a woman...
"!"
For a moment, Long Ao Jiao was silent.
And a bit tempted.
She even considered abandoning her powerful physical body to possess Liu Jianmin's!
That way...
She could have it all!
What could she have?
N
In fact, although she didn't want to admit it, over the years, Long Ao Jiao had noticed some changes in her mentality.
At first, she detested her female body.
But as she progressed, she gradually realized that being a woman wasn't so bad. In a certain sense, she actually liked it.
Especially when she outshone an entire era, and wherever she went, both men and women turned to look at her, the pleasure was indescribably satisfying.
Furthermore...
Even if she had nothing else to do, the feel of her body was quite nice.
But Long Ao Jiao still wanted to be a man.
Only as a man could she have a harem!
A harem of men? That was something Long Ao Jiao absolutely couldn't tolerate.
But Liu Jianmin's appearance seemed to open a new world for her.
If she possessed Liu Jianmin, wouldn't that mean... she could be both a man and a woman?
She could advance when necessary and... spit, she wouldn't 'defend,' but she could still charm everyone. And she could switch between the identities of Long Ao Jiao and Long Ao Tian!
One man, one woman, wouldn't that be perfect?!
"!!!"
However, this thought was ultimately suppressed by Long Ao Jiao.
"Ah."
"In this world, strength is paramount. With strength, one has everything. Abandoning my own physical body would mean losing two to three-tenths of my combat power. Forget it."
In the end, Long Ao Jiao decided not to possess Liu Jianmin.
As for turning back into a man...
She would find an opportunity later.
There would always be an opportunity.
...
"..."
Hearing Long Ao Jiao's rebuttal, Liu Jianmin was somewhat surprised, "So you're not a fellow traveler?"
"But that's not right. If you're not a fellow traveler, where did you get these clothes and shoes?"
"So you're talking about this?" Long Ao Jiao asked nonchalantly. "A close friend of mine personally crafted it for me. How is that?"
"..."
"In that case, your friend must be from my hometown."
"Could it be someone with the surname Tang?"
"Huh?!"
Long Ao Jiao furrowed her brows. "Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by someone with the surname Tang? I don't have any favorable impressions of those with the surname Tang."
Long Ao Jiao was unaware of all the rules and regulations of the Moon Holding Sect.
However, she knew one rule: those with the surname Tang were not to be accepted.
She didn't know the reason, and initially, she scoffed at it. But over time, she naturally developed a dislike for those with the surname Tang, especially with Tang Wu as a prime example.
"As long as it's not someone with the surname Tang, it's fine."
Liu Jianmin heaved a sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid of those with the surname Tang.
"Why do you care about his surname?" Long Ao Jiao asked, her brows furrowed. "Let me ask you, are you a man?"
Liu Jianmin glared at her. "Miss, with your exquisite beauty that could captivate the world, how can you speak so viciously?"
"How am I being vicious?" Long Ao Jiao asked.
"How dare you assume someone's gender!"
"Just because you call me a man doesn't mean I am one. In my heart, I'm a woman!"
"I'm a pretty, beautiful, and lovely girl!"
"Do you understand now?!"
How dare he assume someone's gender!
Long Ao Jiao, being a local, didn't understand these things. Liu Jianmin's words left her completely bewildered.
But...
Long Ao Jiao had one advantage: she never wasted time on internal conflicts.
If she couldn't understand something...
She would take action immediately!
"So you're indeed a man-whore, no doubt about it. Prepare to be suppressed by me!"
Long Ao Jiao suddenly attacked without warning, moving at incredible speed.
Liu Jianmin barely had time to react.
However, he was at the eighth stage, and in the nick of time, he managed to cultivate a wave of Love Orgy, bracing himself to withstand Long Ao Jiao's seven punches and twelve kicks. He pressed the multicolored light ball in his hand towards Long Ao Jiao.
This thing had no killing power and didn't pose any danger.
But...
Long Ao Jiao suddenly remembered Lin Fan's warning.
Although she didn't know what Liu Jianmin's special abilities were, she had already boasted about her own strength. If she were to be defeated, how could she face Lin Fan in the future?
So...
To be safe, she decided not to touch what she didn't know. Long Ao Jiao instantly teleported away, reappearing behind Liu Jianmin. She kicked him in the butt, sending him flying far away.
"Ow!"
Liu Jianmin let out a miserable cry, covering his butt as he turned around in despair. "My butt is almost flattened!"
"Me... me?"
Long Ao Jiao's anger intensified at these words.
"You, a man, dare to speak like a woman?"
"I'll kill you!"
Long Ao Jiao unleashed her fury, even taking out a recently acquired replica of the Immortal Binding Chain and wrapping Liu Jianmin up like a zongzi. She then used her spiritual power to condense a whip and started whipping him.
Smack!
"I'll teach you to be a man-whore!"
Smack!
"I'll teach you to assume someone's gender!"
Smack!
"I'll teach you to say 'me'!"
Smack!
"I'll teach you to be ungrateful!"
Smack!
"I'll teach you to be 'flattened'!"
"..."
Liu Jianmin was in misery.
He had no power to resist and could only howl in pain.
Initially, he could roll around on the ground, making it difficult for Long Ao Jiao to aim. But then she became ruthless, hanging him from a tree and whipping him mercilessly.
And each time, she aimed for his butt.
"Ouch!"
"Ow!"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Why are you hitting me?"
"Was it Tang Wu who sent you to cause trouble for me?!"
"Damn Tang Wu, I knew he had ill intentions!"
"Just wait, I'll get my revenge!"
At first, Liu Jianmin was defiant, cursing as he cried out in pain.
But soon, he became cowardly, admitting defeat and pleading for mercy.
However, Long Ao Jiao's friends to show no mercy.
Finally!
Long Ao Jiao finished her last whip, and Liu Jianmin grunted in pain. It took a while for him to feel the next whip, and he was bewildered.
"Hmph!"
"Don't... stop, don't stop..."
Long Ao Jiao: "???"
Don't stop?
She was about to continue when she suddenly realized, "Wait!"
"If I don't stop, won't I be playing into your hands?"
"In your dreams!"
Long Ao Jiao stopped.
Then, without bothering to waste words, she picked up the zongzi-like Liu Jianmin and left.
Liu Jianmin gradually came to his senses.
"You..."
"What are you going to do?"
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll find out soon enough!"
"I can't believe that guy would take an interest in someone like you!"
Long Ao Jiao wanted to curse.
This Liu Jianmin was truly a waste of talent.
She even couldn't help but think, if she maintained her current appearance that could ruin a country while also being a real man, how great would that be?
Pfft!
...
Liu Jianmin was in a daze, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He couldn't help but wonder if he should have listened to Tang Wu's advice. Perhaps he should have learned some invincibility techniques or arts to complement his Love Orgy, ensuring he could easily subdue this woman and do as he pleased.
Damn it! If I had the chance again, I would do whatever it takes to become stronger!
