Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 551 - 178: The World Often Betrays the Lovesick; Longs Hidden, Tigers Lurking, Returning to Divine Wood

She didn’t want this big guy to get trapped in the Divine Wood Hall.

"Thirty miles outside the Divine Wood Hall, there is a place called Feiyan Platform.

That place is steep and deep in the mountains. Brother Dian and Qing Hancheng can have their duel there without restraint, and truly enjoy the fight."

Li Yuan secretly rejoiced.

He knew the Lotus Sect was going to utilize their resources to help him arrange a duel with Qing Hancheng.

Initially, he was worried about how to handle this matter, as he didn’t want to go to the Triple Gate to find Qing Hancheng.

His Fourth Lady once told him that even if the outskirts of the Divine Wood Hall were breached, and many of the experts had fallen, as long as they stayed within the Triple Gate of the Divine Wood Hall, they would have the power to protect themselves.

What does this imply?

This implies that there is a big secret within the Triple Gate of the Divine Wood Hall.

Perhaps it’s some kind of defensive artifact unknown to Li Yuan or perhaps some regional destructive force.

"Thank you, little sister."

Li Yuan placed his hands on the demoness’s shoulders, showing gratitude, "You’re such a good person. I must thank you properly."

Saying this, he moved forward and sat behind the demoness, starting to comb her hair.

He wanted to pull out a few more strands quietly to make the "White Wooden Box" as effective as possible. After all... theoretically, the more hair, the longer the "White Wooden Box" could answer questions.

The demoness felt the furry hands moving through her strands of hair, occasionally causing unexpected pain, feeling a bit speechless.

She twitched her mouth, turned around, grabbed the big guy’s hand, and gently placed it on one side of her cheek, letting her small side face rest in the large palm, softly saying, "As long as Brother Dian is happy, then little sister is also happy...

Leave the duel arrangement to little sister, Brother Dian just needs to focus on preparing for the battle.

Qing Hancheng’s strength is extremely extraordinary, Brother Dian must not underestimate him."

Her words were sincere.

Li Yuan, the Han Han’er, scratched his head, chuckling foolishly.

Seeing him like this, White Spirit Water also laughed.

Laughter is contagious.

Soon, the room was filled with clear joy.

...

...

Li Yuan temporarily stayed in the small town.

After having dumplings in the morning, he amused himself by playing with the birds that landed in front of the window, but when these birds flew away, they had already become his eyes.

The birds took flight one by one, observing the surrounding scenes.

Meanwhile, White Spirit Water began to utilize her connections.

She wrote a letter and sent it into the Triple Gate.

Then began to build momentum.

She was not aggressive but positioned herself as a friend of Dian Wei, saying he was a young junior in the Social World, hidden deep in the mountains, unfamiliar with worldly matters, passionately in love with martial arts, having defeated a Fifth Grade powerhouse, and had heard of the profound strength of the Divine Wood Hall Master, thus hoping to face him in combat. If agreed, they could meet at Feiyan Platform thirty miles outside the Divine Wood Hall on the night of the Mid-Autumn evening.

She was unaware of the relationship between Qing Hancheng and the Lotus Sect at the top level, so she set a small "Heart Demon Trap" here.

Even though she wasn’t sure if the big guy could win, she hoped to utilize him as much as possible to break Qing Hancheng’s mind, causing him to develop a Heart Demon.

For experts like Qing Hancheng, dueling with someone who is equally famous is fine, but this rough man emerging from nowhere is apparently not in this league.

Even if Qing Hancheng just tied the match or couldn’t take down the big guy quickly, he would develop a Heart Demon.

In the Social World, many at the top knew Qing Hancheng had been stuck at Fourth Grade for roughly two hundred years.

This little Heart Demon might be enough to destroy him.

Thus, White Spirit Water intentionally emphasized that he emerged from the deep mountains, emphasizing his namelessness.

As for whether it would be effective, it depended on whether Qing Hancheng was sensitive enough.

White Spirit Water was very clever. While she was building momentum, she didn’t do so under the name of the Lotus Sect.

She knew that while building momentum under the Lotus Sect’s name could forcibly bind the big guy to the Lotus Sect’s chariot, it would actually cause numerous issues.

For example, the big guy might not comply at all.

For example, it would turn a Martial Fool’s challenge into a challenge by a Lotus Sect expert, thus escalating the situation, attracting masters from the Five Elements Forces or even the Buddhist and Daoist martial arts, forcing the Lotus Sect to send more experts, and by then, the big guy would be caught in a dilemma, potentially dying in the chaotic battle, which did not align with her expectations.

The current Lotus Sect already had other strategic plans, with no need to deploy on this matter.

If this maneuver attracted experts from the Lotus Sect, it would disrupt the original plans, being counterproductive.

For the Lotus Sect, the big guy was an expert, potentially a treasure with hidden secrets.

But for her, the big guy was a rare encounter in her life.

Is...the only one.

White Spirit Water excelled in Charm Techniques and various Dharma Gates.

But the ultimate goal of her Charm Technique wasn’t "to have all heroes bow at her skirt," but "to charm a peerless expert, making them bow alone at her skirt."

All heroes?

What heroes?

A bunch of rabble with empty fame is all.

Experts are always singular, never mingled with the word "group."

The big guy may look like a hairy monkey, but having seen enough of men’s hypocritical faces, White Spirit Water found such a hairy monkey quite nice.

Thus, she cautiously and appropriately sent this challenge letter while building momentum in the Social World.

She pressured Qing Hancheng to fight, but without causing discomfort, in a natural manner.

She left Li Yuan a retreat in case of defeat, because...this was merely the challenge of a mountain Martial Fool against a powerful expert.

Li Yuan’s birds quietly watched and listened around this small town and its surroundings.

From the fringes of White Lotus Demoness’s actions, he could also infer.
