Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Treasure Map! Puppet Emperor, Three Thousand Divine Puppets

A figure flew onto the White Tiger City wall.
He was tall and slender, as supple and graceful as a spring willow, dressed in a turquoise robe that made him appear even more refined and otherworldly.

Beneath his two sword-like eyebrows, his bright and piercing eyes revealed a trace of excitement and exhilaration from surviving a disaster.

He was Bai Gui, Vice City Lord of White Tiger City, a peak Law Manifestation Realm expert.

“Zhou Lang. Young Master Zhou!”

Bai Qi’s voice was laced with surprise and bewilderment. Bai Gui paused, noticing Bai Qi’s unusual demeanor, a blush creeping up her neck and ears.

She resembled a shy maiden.

This was a side of her he had never witnessed before, momentarily captivating him.

But the realization that this reaction wasn’t directed towards him, but rather towards another man, ignited a surge of intense jealousy within Bai Gui’s heart.

He had always harbored feelings for Bai Qi.

He had initially planned to confess his love and propose marriage after advancing to the King Realm. But now…
“Zhou Lang. Young Master Zhou? Could it be Zhou Chen?”

Bai Gui’s mind raced, immediately recalling Bai Qi’s recent seclusion for cultivation.

Perhaps she had gone to the Great Qian Dynasty to seek out Zhou Chen for the awakening of her White Emperor Bloodline.

Bai Qi’s previous rapid progress, her unstoppable advancement to the mid-stage of the King Realm, further solidified his suspicions.

His goddess had already been turned into a puff by Zhou Chen!!
“It’s alright, it’s just cultivation!”

“They won’t have any further interactions in the future!”

“As cultivators, we shouldn’t be concerned with such trivial matters.”

Bai Gui engaged in a fierce internal struggle, attempting to console himself.

What’s the big deal about dual cultivation?

It’s not like it can break her.

And she won’t get pregnant.

Like in the urban world, those goddesses were truly ruined.

Their houses were not only visited but also lived in, people had died in them, even more than one person had lived and died in them.

The houses were riddled with holes.

To the point where later occupants couldn’t even live in them.

Yet, there were still honest people willing to take over these broken houses, spending their own money to patch them up, hoping to raise their own children in them.

Even worse, some would spend their own money to repair the house, only to find out that the children living inside weren’t theirs, but belonged to someone else.

And even worse, there were cases where two or three children lived in the house, none of them their own, but belonging to two or three other men…
“Thank you, Young Master Zhou, for your righteous assistance. I am eternally grateful!”

Bai Qi bowed deeply. If it weren’t for Zhou Chen’s intervention, not only would she have fallen into the hands of the Black Ape King, but White Tiger City would have also faced utter annihilation.

“How do you intend to express your gratitude?”

Zhou Chen’s eyes twinkled as he appraised Bai Qi standing before him, a faint, delicate fragrance mixed with a hint of blood lingering in the air.

Bai Qi was clad in golden battle armor, the soft armor clinging tightly to her body, outlining her fiery and alluring curves, stirring Zhou Chen’s desire. A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist, adding to her charm.

Her beauty was truly captivating, with brows like painted strokes, skin as white as snow. Although she possessed a captivating allure, her features also exuded a valiant aura that rivaled any man.

And when this charm blended with her heroic spirit, the resulting allure was undeniably heart-stopping for any man.

“This must be Young Master Zhou Chen, the esteemed disciple of Yao Chi Empress, right?”

Bai Gui’s figure flashed, appearing before Zhou Chen and interjecting, “I am Bai Gui, Vice City Lord of White Tiger City. I have long admired your name, Young Master Zhou!”

Bai Qi frowned slightly. She was naturally aware of Bai Gui’s intentions, but she hadn’t expected him to be so bold.

He even dared to interrupt?

“Bai Gui?”

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, glancing at Bai Gui.

He felt like he should be called Green Turtle!

His head must be covered in a lush green meadow.

“Thank you, Young Master Zhou, for your assistance. Words cannot express my gratitude. I once happened upon a treasure map belonging to Puppet Emperor. Allow me to offer it to you as a token of my appreciation for your righteous aid.”

He retrieved an ancient animal skin map and presented it to Zhou Chen.

He intended to repay Zhou Chen’s life-saving grace with this, preventing Zhou Chen from further taking advantage of his goddess!

He was also well-acquainted with Zhou Chen’s reputation.

Not to mention Zhou Chen having an Empress as his master and his past feat of slaying a King with a Supernatural Ability, just the power he displayed in annihilating the beast tide alone was beyond what he, a peak Law Manifestation Realm expert, could contend with.

He certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to engage in a direct confrontation with Zhou Chen! But he also didn’t want Zhou Chen to bully his goddess.

As for the treasure map belonging to Puppet Emperor, it was both valuable and useless.

He had obtained it many years ago but couldn’t decipher it.

Moreover, the location indicated on the treasure map was the Savage Marsh, an incredibly dangerous place that he wouldn’t dare venture into.

Not just him, even Kings wouldn’t set foot in that Savage Marsh, teeming with venomous insects, ferocious beasts, and miasma.
“A treasure map belonging to Puppet Emperor?”

Zhou Chen’s interest was piqued as he accepted the animal skin and examined it briefly.

With the extraordinary power of his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand, he could ascertain that the animal skin was indeed from a Beast Emperor, faint traces of an Emperor’s Dao Rhyme lingering upon it.

It seemed genuine.

“Then I shall accept this generous gift without hesitation!”

Zhou Chen unhesitatingly pocketed the map.

Puppet Emperor was a renowned Emperor from ancient times, who had once swept across the land with his three thousand divine puppets, invincible!
Unfortunately, Puppet Emperor failed to achieve godhood.

Because Puppet Emperor, in his pursuit of crafting the Three Thousand Divine Puppets Diagram, had relentlessly plundered treasures, seizing countless treasures from various factions.

Ultimately, this provoked several Emperors and Great Vehicle Half Immortals to join forces and besiege him, leading to his grievous injuries and demise.

His Emperor Weapon, the Three Thousand Divine Puppets Diagram, vanished from the world along with his fall.

Zhou Chen was deeply intrigued by the Three Thousand Divine Puppets Diagram.

If he could obtain this Emperor Weapon, he could integrate it into his Red Dust Heavenly Boat, creating a Puppet World. He could even transform those three thousand divine puppets into three thousand divine demons, aiding him in conquering the world.

“Bai Gui, you go handle the post-battle affairs. I will entertain Young Master Zhou myself!”

Bai Qi, concerned about Bai Gui potentially offending Zhou Chen, dismissed him.

She had prepared a feast of succulent abalone and other delicacies to welcome Zhou Chen.

Bai Gui opened his mouth, reluctantly responding,

“Yes, City Lord!”

Although he was unwilling to leave, he couldn’t defy Bai Qi’s orders.

Bai Gui departed, glancing back every few steps.

Bai Qi led Zhou Chen back to the City Lord’s Residence, instructing the servants to prepare the banquet.

Within the grand hall.

Zhou Chen’s fiery gaze swept over Bai Qi’s alluring and voluptuous figure. She stood tall and straight, like a spear.

Her long, slender legs were pressed together beneath her golden battle skirt, leaving no gap, not even a finger could be inserted.

Zhou Chen’s gaze lingered for a moment, seemingly hoping for Bai Qi’s legs to part slightly…
“It has been ten years since we last met. Your grace surpasses even before, Young Master. Truly admirable!”

Bai Qi had journeyed to the Great Qian Dynasty ten years ago. Now, a decade later, Zhou Chen’s Immortal Path cultivation had reached the Void Refinement Realm, his aura even more vast and unprecedented.

Perhaps by their next encounter, Zhou Chen’s cultivation would surpass hers.

“It has been ten years. City Lord Bai has become even more captivating. I have missed you dearly!”

Gazing at Bai Qi’s refined and alluring beauty, Zhou Chen’s heart stirred. His broad hand reached out, enveloping Bai Qi’s soft and delicate hand.

“Zhou… Young Master Zhou!”

Bai Qi trembled. Her usual valiant aura instantly transformed into the hues of the evening sky, her cheeks flushed crimson. Her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, her expression a mixture of shyness and allure.

“City Lord Bai, you’re injured!”

Zhou Chen’s Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand suddenly detected the injuries on Bai Qi’s body, his voice deepening,

“You’re also poisoned, and quite deeply!”

The poison, as if sensing a threat from Zhou Chen, attempted to corrode his hand.

However, Zhou Chen’s Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand was unrestrained, containing thunder within his palm, as swift as lightning. No poison, no matter how potent, could withstand it.

“Please, Young Master, help me detoxify!”

Bai Qi, now feeling the poison ravaging her internal organs and limbs, her body growing weak and feverish, realized the poison had taken effect.

She knew it had flared up!

It had been a slow-acting poison, but Zhou Chen’s touch had triggered its rapid progression. Powerful detoxification was necessary.
“I am at your service, City Lord!” Zhou Chen smiled, retrieving various Divine Weapons that aided in healing and detoxification.

“These can suppress the toxicity!”

Zhou Chen retrieved a pair of Divine Weapons and swiftly activated them, positioning them directly on the concentrated poison. He nodded in satisfaction.

Bai Qi bit her lip gently, observing Zhou Chen’s focused and attentive expression as he treated her injuries and detoxified her. An indescribable emotion welled up within her.

“Next, I need to apply acupuncture to expel the poison. Please bear with it!”

Zhou Chen retrieved his Divine Weapon, the Supreme Unity Immortal Crane Divine Needles, and gently informed her.

“I’m starting now!”

Aiming the Supreme Unity Immortal Crane Divine Needles at the poison-laden wound, Zhou Chen slowly and meticulously inserted them, drawing out the venom.

Moments later.

The Supreme Unity Immortal Crane Divine Needles were fully embedded. Zhou Chen finally located the poison sac and employed the Thirty-Six Heavenly Needles and the Seventy-Two Earthly Techniques to forcefully expel the poison.

At this moment.

His entire being was immersed in the task, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Bai Qi, enduring the torment of the poison and the intensity of Zhou Chen’s detoxification, was drenched in sweat, unable to move even a finger.

Within the Heavenly Boat’s main control room.

Beautiful Master Huangfu Yue Yao lay reclined on the crystal white jade bed, her voluptuous figure barely concealed beneath a thin white silk nightgown, revealing her ample bosom and her long, shapely legs.

At this time.

“Where has that little rascal gone off to again!”

Huangfu Yue Yao’s alluring lips parted slightly, tears streaming down her face, her eyes swollen and red.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was absent, his whereabouts unknown, Huangfu Yue Yao’s gaze filled with resentment.

Her slender jade hand reached out, retrieving a pair of Divine Weapons, the Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladders.

At this moment!

The two Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladders spun rapidly in her palm, even moving back and forth quickly.

She knew it was the other pair of Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladders that were moving.

The Divine Weapons Zhou Chen now crafted had become a system.

These Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladders weren’t just attracted to each other, but all the Dragon Tiger Yin Yang Gallbladder Divine Weapons were connected.

One movement, and all three thousand would respond!
“Damn it!”

Huangfu Yue Yao, toying with the Divine Weapons in her palm, glared fiercely,

“That rebellious disciple, next time, I’ll shove these right into his mouth!”

She wanted Zhou Chen to experience the power of these Divine Weapons firsthand.

…

White Tiger City.

Bai Gui, after briefly instructing his subordinates to handle the post-battle affairs, headed towards the City Lord’s Residence with a restless heart.

Thinking about Zhou Chen.

He felt an inexplicable unease.

Yet, he couldn’t do anything about it.

Not to mention Zhou Chen saving White Tiger City, just his strength and background alone made him an insurmountable foe.

With Zhou Chen’s current power, annihilating White Tiger City would be child’s play.

With apprehension, Bai Gui arrived at the grand hall of the City Lord’s Residence, but found it empty.

“Where has the City Lord gone?”

Bai Gui sniffed the air, detecting a peculiar scent. His gaze fell upon the City Lord’s throne.

He noticed what appeared to be spilled tea on the golden throne.

“These maids are becoming increasingly negligent, not even bothering to clean properly!”

Bai Gui cursed inwardly, turning to leave.

As Bai Gui departed, the figures of Bai Qi and Zhou Chen materialized on the imposing golden throne.

Bai Qi’s hands rested on the majestic and sacred City Lord’s throne. She usually conducted her official business here, handling the important matters of White Tiger City.

Of course.

For her, cultivation was paramount. She rarely concerned herself with trivial matters.

Only significant issues related to the strategic development of White Tiger City would warrant her personal attention.

“The City Lord is truly captivating!”

Zhou Chen remarked with a smile.

“He’s just delusional!”

Bai Qi said indifferently.

She had never paid Bai Gui any mind.

Moreover, she had journeyed to the Eastern Lands, to Champion Marquis Zhou Chen of the Great Qian Dynasty, to obtain genuine gold and awaken her Emperor Bloodline. She and Bai Gui were simply not on the same level.
Zhou Chen, observing another injury on her body, employed his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand, gently massaging it before retrieving a Divine Weapon.

He needed to attack the stubborn Charm Poison from another angle to completely eradicate it.

He slowly inserted the Divine Weapon towards the injured area.

“Young Master…”

Bai Qi turned, biting her lip gently,
“There are many others in the city who are also poisoned. Could you perhaps help them detoxify and awaken their bloodlines as well?”

She truly couldn’t shoulder the burden alone.

Moreover.

White Tiger City’s strength had dwindled, with her being the only remaining King. They desperately needed more Kings.

And White Tiger City was primarily comprised of the Bai Family.

Naturally, she wasn’t the only one with the White Emperor Bloodline; there were many others.

Even Bai Gui possessed the White Emperor Bloodline.

However, after countless generations, it had become incredibly diluted and useless.

“Detoxification comes at a price!”

Zhou Chen, effortlessly exploiting Bai Qi’s weakness, grinned mischievously.

“You’re truly heartless, Young Master!”

Bai Qi rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen. He was truly insatiable.

Even if Zhou Chen helped them detoxify for free, it would still be a tremendous gain for them.
“I don’t know if my heart is black or not, but I know yours is red, or perhaps pink. I quite like it!”

Zhou Chen chuckled, the Supreme Unity Immortal Crane Divine Needles already fully inserted into Bai Qi’s deeply poisoned heart.

In truth, helping Bai Qi’s clansmen detoxify for free wasn’t out of the question.

Zhou Chen loved assisting others.

However, if he could gain some additional benefits, that wouldn’t be bad either.

“I also possess a Great Supernatural Ability passed down from my ancestors, the White Tiger Protective Light. Would that satisfy Young Master?”

Bai Qi bit her lip, glaring at Zhou Chen, her slender fingers tightly clenched.

“Satisfied! Of course, I’m satisfied!”

Zhou Chen grinned,
“Then I must properly express my gratitude for the City Lord’s warm hospitality!”

“Ah… ah… Zhou Chen…”

“Stop!”

Bai Qi hurriedly summoned someone to enter.

Soon.

Two tall and slender mature women with long, shapely legs strode in, both at the peak of the Law Manifestation Realm.

Their beauty was breathtaking, their skin as fair as jade, their eyebrows delicate as silk threads. Their crimson lips glistened like jewels, their eyes shimmering under the candlelight, adding a touch of mystery to their allure.

“Aunt!”

Bai Lu and Bai Bing’s voices were as clear and melodious as celestial music. However, when they saw their aunt, Bai Qi, and Zhou Chen on the City Lord’s throne, their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Their eyes widened, a sense of disbelief and shattered worldviews washing over them.

They couldn’t have imagined that their aunt, who was like a female war god, would actually…
