Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 775 - 244: That damn thing, it’s actually here?_2

After all, he had only known Gu Yuqing and Ao Qing for a little over ten years, perhaps even just a few...

Wang Mu fell silent.

Heavenly Demons bewitch hearts and can also manipulate them; Piao Miaoxu’s ability to become the biggest antagonist in the game surely came from her unique methods.

Through simple conversations, Piao Miaoxu hinted that Ao Qing only needed to marry someone else to extract herself from that elusive whirlwind of emotions and not get involved in the sentimental relationship between her revered Master and her lover.

Wang Mu shook his head. Perhaps he understood Ao Qing even less than Piao Miaoxu did.

Of course, Dongfang Mu’s identity as a Saint certainly held a certain allure.

Yet, why would the Old Dragon King reject him then?

This indeed surprised Wang Mu somewhat.

From the perspective of the Dragon King, Dongfang Mu’s identity seemed undoubtedly more suitable for his daughter and even for the vast power of the Sea Clan of the Dragon Palace.

Wouldn’t marrying an Ancient Saint with great Qi Fortune be a good thing?

Wang Mu sighed lightly and said,

"Have you ever thought... what if this Dongfang Mu had actually been in love with your Master a thousand years ago?"

"?" Ao Qing.

In an instant, Ao Qing’s mind seemed to crash. Her mind was a whirl of confusion.

"Impossible! My Master... she’s a Great Immortal... she... she has her own lover..." Ao Qing shook her head repeatedly. "You mustn’t speak such nonsense! Dongfang Mu is an Ancient Saint, while Wang Mu is just a..."

Just a Nascent Soul Cultivator, although... he is indeed a bit special...

If Dongfang Mu were Wang Mu, wouldn’t Wang Mu be on the verge of death?

How could he possibly be Saint Dongfang Mu, whose life force surged so powerfully he seemed like a child of heaven and earth’s destiny?

They’re completely different people!

Moreover, if that were the case, wouldn’t Wang Mu be even more of a scoundrel?

To actually demand to marry me—where would that leave Master?

He would be an absolute scoundrel!

Besides, Wang Mu isn’t that kind of person!

Ao Qing said,

"Your theory is absurd, too contradictory! Even if you wanted to persuade me not to become a Taoist couple with the Saint, you shouldn’t speak such nonsense..."

"Alright." Wang Mu nodded.

This was the truly formidable part of Piao Miaoxu’s impersonation.

Just like the true and false Sun Wukong, once she obtained most of his memories and used her Heavenly Demon identity to disguise herself, distinguishing truth from falsehood became incredibly difficult.

But, it wasn’t impossible.

"If you find it absurd..." Wang Mu said, "someone can prove it."

"Who?"

"Aren’t there Three Saints under the command of the Saint at Beast King Mountain?" Wang Mu said.

Ao Qing nodded slightly.

The Three Saints of Beast King Mountain were among the top ten Demon Saints of the Cultivation World, holding lofty status. Although they didn’t have much contact with the Sea Clan, they had a good relationship with the Great Immortal. This was because the Great Immortal visited Beast King Mountain every few decades.

As for why their relationship was so good, she wasn’t entirely sure.

Perhaps it was because the Great Immortal generally maintained good relations with the Demon Clans of the Nine Provinces?

"Among the Three Saints, there’s a Golden Winged Eagle Saint, right?" Wang Mu pondered for a moment. "This Golden Winged Eagle Saint was a beast Dongfang Mu tamed back then, and your Master, Immortal Bi You, was present at the time."

The Eagle among the three beasts was actually tamed in the Wa Clan Sacred Land, Nanrong Biyou’s hometown, during the third taming attempt. Actually, the three pets in the game all related to the female lead; for example, the bear had connections to Yan Qingwu, had a storyline involved, and was the first to be tamed. The second, the eagle, had connections to Nanrong Biyou and was tamed in the Wa Clan Sacred Land in Nanrong Biyou’s hometown. The game pets’ storylines were quite scarce, consisting only of plain taming stories, and were mostly side quests. After taming them, one could engage in a Pokémon-like development system, teaching them martial skills, which was a unique feature in the game. So, in the game, they weren’t really involved in much of the main story. But still, they were somewhat linked to it.

"Find an opportunity and ask that Golden Winged Eagle Saint," Wang Mu said, "ask if it was Dongfang Mu and Nanrong Biyou who tamed it on the Wa Clan Sacred Mountain back then?"

Ao Qing paused, then said in astonishment,

"I’ve already met the Golden Winged Eagle Saint. If what you’re saying is true, it would surely have told me by now..."

"..." Wang Mu.

I get it.

Piao Miaoxu must have instructed it beforehand...

Damn it, that woman has memories from the game and is familiar with the original story between him and Nanrong Biyou.

So she definitely wouldn’t expose herself so easily over something like this.

She’s very cautious and thorough!

"Alright..." Wang Mu was speechless. "Then go and establish your connection with Dongfang Mu. Also, it’s best if you don’t tell that Saint about what I just told you via voice transmission."

Ao Qing shook her head; she had already spoken of drawing a clear line with him, so naturally, she wouldn’t mention these things.

Ao Qing turned and left. She paused for a moment, then said,

"Originally, it wasn’t that I was completely averse to establishing a romantic destiny with Dongfang Mu..."

"But if you are so unwilling for me to do so, it implies you might still harbor some feelings for me... In that case, I am now resolved to establish a romantic destiny with Dongfang Mu."

"..." Wang Mu.

Wang Mu remained expressionless and didn’t say much else.

Ao Qing sighed softly in her heart. How could Dongfang Mu possibly be Wang Mu?

Wang Mu, you’re on the verge of death, and no one can save you. Perhaps... perhaps only that Saint could possibly save you...

Watching Ao Qing’s retreating figure, Wang Mu fell into deep thought.

It had to be said, Piao Miaoxu’s planning was flawless.

Even if he revealed his true identity, he wouldn’t be able to persuade Ao Qing.

Truly formidable...

If that’s the case, then I’ll take this opportunity... to act as an undercover agent by your side for now... Wang Mu squinted, then waved his hand slightly, transmitting a message, "Little Kun, go! Find that man in black and get him!"

Immortal Cloud Kun flew out of the Demon Capturing Bottle.

Since there were no restraints from the Demon Binding Rope, Immortal Cloud Kun could freely enter and exit the Demon Capturing Bottle, where it usually stayed.

Meanwhile, Wang Mu used the Divine Light Mirror in his Sea of Consciousness to send a message to the Moon God.

[Wang Mu: Do me a favor.]

[Moon God: Hey, hey, hey! You, little cultivator, need my help? Why send a message instead of talking to me face to face?]

[Wang Mu: Transform into me, then later, ride the Immortal Cloud Kun and deal with that man in black. That guy is the one impersonating Saint Dongfang Mu.]

[Moon God: Why transform into you? What ulterior motive do you have, you rascal?]

[Wang Mu: Will you help or not? You don’t have to lift a finger, not even speak; just maintain my appearance. You immortal officials should know a simple Transformation Skill, right?]

[Moon God: Of course I do. How else do you think I manage this appearance of mine? But, why should I help you? Unless...]

[Wang Mu: Unless what?]

[Moon God: Unless you finish telling me the story about the Imperial Princess and the Strategist. You must finish it!]

[Wang Mu: Fine.]

[Moon God: That’s simple enough! I know you all too well, you rascal. Heh! Little Kun is already flying out. So impatient, are we?]

「On Qingqiu Mountain.」

The originally clear sky was suddenly blanketed by dark clouds, and the heavens darkened abruptly.

A mighty presence, like a divine punishment, descended upon the entire Qingqiu Mountain.

In an instant, countless cultivators, as well as the Qingqiu Fox Clan living there, were stunned motionless.

The oppressive presence not only enveloped Qingqiu Mountain but also a vast area spanning thousands of miles with Qingqiu Mountain at its center.

Below the Crossing Tribulation stage, none could even move.

A long, ancient cry resonated through the air.

Little Kun Kun is indeed strong, Wang Mu thought. And this is with the restrictions of this world’s rules. Although its power is only at the Ascension realm, its bloodline is too potent. Plus, it was gradually nurtured by Xiao Li, and as a Swallow Fish, it inherently possesses the augmentation of a Dynasty’s Qi Fortune.

In this world, probably only veteran cultivators at the Ascension realm could exchange a few blows with it.

The thought of Mr. Lee coming to the Lower Realm to take it away made Wang Mu a bit reluctant.

After all, an Ascending Immortal Spirit Beast as endearingly gullible as Little Kun Kun was a rare find.

Wang Mu walked towards Ao Qing’s location.

Before long, he arrived under the Changqing Tree.

At this moment on Qingqiu Mountain, all cultivators were sweating profusely, rooted to the spot as if subjected to an Immobilization Spell.

Gazing up at the enormous creature in the Heavenly Vault, they were utterly at a loss.

The fear of life being beyond their control, as if it could vanish at any moment, surfaced in everyone’s heart.

Under the Changqing Tree, the expression of the man in black changed dramatically.

"That damn creature, it’s actually here?"
