Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Deacon Chen, cultivate well. The Holy Lord thinks highly of you.”

As soon as the woman in the purple dress said this, almost everyone present looked at her in disbelief. For a moment, they thought they had heard wrongly.

It had to be known that the Holy Lord was famous for being lazy in politics in the Holy Land. She was indifferent to anything and anyone in the Holy Land and handed it to her two maids to handle.

However, such a Holy Lord actually said that she thought highly of a new disciple from the Lower Realm?

What did this mean?

This meant that this new disciple had a bright future!

At the thought of this, many people looked at Chen An differently.

They became concerned, valued, and curried favor.

Among them, the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall reacted the fastest.

As soon as the woman in the purple dress left, the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall with white hair and a white beard walked forward with a smile and spoke to Chen An enthusiastically.

“Deacon Chen, congratulations on winning the championship. I’m Ren Tianxiao, the director of the Alchemy Hall. This is a small token of my appreciation.”

As he spoke, the Alchemy Hall’s Hall Master took out a jade box surrounded by a purple aura and handed it to Chen An with a smile.

‘This is a gift…’ Chen An was in a dilemma.

He didn’t want to accept the gift. He didn’t want to get too close to others.

If he got close, he would be restricted by the so-called favors and lose the freedom to do whatever he wanted.

However, if he did not accept it, he would be publicly disrespecting the Alchemy Hall’s Hall Master. He would definitely offend the Alchemy Hall’s Hall Master and be hated by him.

What a dilemma!

“Deacon Chen, I’m the Hall Master of the Saber Hall, Hai Wuya. This is just a small gift.”

“Deacon Chen, I’m the Hall Master of the Beast Taming Hall, Bai Jie. This is a ten-thousand-year-old blood egg of a Primordial Beast.”

“Deacon Chen, I’m the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall, Zhu Yange…”

Before Chen An could think about whether he should accept this gift from the Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall, the other Hall Masters surrounded him and gave him gifts. They congratulated Deacon Chen for winning the championship.

Even the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall, Zhu Yange, had come to give him a gift. She said that she could give whatever Hua Xuanyin could, and even more. She was openly poaching him from her archenemy, Hua Xuanyin.

Seeing this, Hua Xuanyin’s face immediately darkened.

However, she did not attack Zhu Yange. Instead, she crawled into the crowd and pulled Chen An out. She wanted to bring him back to her cave abode for a good talk.

Chen An let her pull him away. It was just nice that he did not have to worry about accepting gifts.

Hundred Flowers Hall, Hall Master’s cave abode.

Hua Xuanyin pulled Chen An to the tea table and sat down. She enthusiastically brewed a pot of spiritual tea for him and said with a smile on her exquisite and inexperienced face,

“Congratulations to Deacon Chen for winning the championship!”

“Deacon Chen has the bearing of an Immortal King. You’re really the face of our Hundred Flower Hall!”

“Deacon Chen being a Deacon in the Hundred Flowers Hall is a blessing that I, Hua Xuanyin, cultivated in my previous life.”

“Come, Deacon Chen, have some tea.”

“This is high-grade Chaotic Heavenly Fruit Tea. It’s extremely beneficial to the soul.”

Hua Xuanyin took a teacup and personally poured a cup of hot tea for Chen An.

Chen An was a little flattered for a moment. The adorable Hall Master’s attitude towards him had changed too quickly.

In an instant, it went from being cold and aloof to being as passionate as fire.

It was difficult for people to adapt in a short period of time.

As expected, it was quite beneficial to show his strength appropriately.

He could only show his value and let the higher-ups rope him in.

Of course, there was also the risk of being killed prematurely.

However, this risk was negligible in the well-ordered Hundred Spirit Holy Land.

With that in mind, Chen An picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He felt the sweet fragrance of the tea bursting out of his taste buds and smiled.

“Good tea.”

“Deacon Chen, if you think it’s delicious, bring some back for your wives and daughters to try.”

Hua Xuanyin took out a jar of tea leaves and placed it on the table. The smile on her face did not diminish at all.

Chen An did not reject it. He took it generously and placed it in his storage ring.

He was a member of the Hundred Flowers Hall, and Hua Xuanyin was the Hall Master of the Hundred Flowers Hall. Everyone was in the same group, so it wouldn’t matter if he took her in.

“Deacon Chen, I’m so good to you. You can’t run away with another Hall Master behind my back, especially the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall, Zhu Yange. That woman is very coquettish. She’s the best at seducing men and likes to suck their bones. Don’t be fooled by her pretending to be innocent.”

Hua Xuanyin kindly reminded him.

This “kind reminder” sounded very subjective, as if she was deliberately slandering her.

Chen An knew this very well, so he didn’t directly respond. He chose to be vague and perfunctory.

“I see. I understand.”

When Hua Xuanyin heard this, she couldn’t help but frown.

Chen An’s answer was wrong. She felt that he might be abducted by another Hall Master.

‘No, this can’t happen!’

‘The hope of me becoming an Immortal King is all on him!’

‘He can’t betray me!’

The more Hua Xuanyin thought about it, the more uneasy she became. The more she thought about it, the less confident she became.

She knew very well that among all the Hall Masters, she was the weakest and could bring the least benefits to Chen An.

If someone made up their mind to poach him, there was a 90% chance that they would be poached.

Thinking of this, Hua Xuanyin chose to lay her cards on the table.

“Deacon Chen, I hope that you can stay in the Hundred Flowers Hall and help me attain the Immortal King realm. As long as you can stay, 1 can give you artifacts, immortal techniques, the position of Hall Master, or anything else.” “Can you really give me anything?”

“Anything.”

“In that case… I want to become Dao companions with you, Hall Master Hua.”

Chen An hesitated for a moment and said boldly.

He originally wanted to say that he wanted to take Hua Xuanyin as his concubine. He was afraid that Hua Xuanyin would beat him to death, so he changed it to saying that they would become Dao companions.

However, to be able to say that he wanted to become Dao companions with Hua Xuanyin, his immediate superior, was already extremely arrogant. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was courting death.

The reason why he dared to court death like this was because he realized his value to Hua Xuanyin. He could be completely fearless.

“Dao… Dao companion?”

Hua Xuanyin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

‘How dare he?! He’s only a Lower Realm cultivator who had just arrived in the Upper Realm and is only a small Deacon in the Hundred Flowers Hall. How dare he covet my body and even say seriously that he wants to become my Dao companion?!’

Hua Xuanyin wanted to curse out loud: Are you even worthy?

However, after thinking about it calmly, she realized that Chen An was really worthy!

He had just ascended from the Lower Realm, but his strength was already comparable to a Quasi-Immortal King.

The future was destined to be immeasurable.

When Chen An saw that Hua Xuanyin was not angry and only had a stunned expression, he knew that there was a chance.

Regarding this, he quickly struck while the iron was hot and added a little sense of danger to Hua Xuanyin. He opened his mouth and said blindly:

“When I was still in the teleportation array just now, the Hall Master of the Thousand Leaves Hall sent a voice transmission to me. As long as I can join the Thousand Leaves Hall, she will be my Dao companion.”

As he spoke, Chen An’s gaze fell on the pair of jade legs under Hua Xuanyin’s dress without any hesitation. The more he looked, the lower his gaze fell until it landed on her jade feet that were half covered by the tea table.

Sensing Chen An’s lecherous gaze, Hua Xuanyin could not help but frown slightly, and a trace of fleeting disgust appeared in her heart.

She really wanted to scold Chen An and chase him out of her cave abode.

However, when she thought about how Zhu Yange, her sworn enemy, had shamelessly sent a voice transmission to seduce Chen An in order to poach him, she suppressed her urge to scold him and tried her best to be as calm as possible.

“I can become Dao Companions with you, but i’ll have to wait until I attain the Immortal King Powerhouse Realm.”

She thought to herself that in any case, words were useless. When she became an Immortal King, she would go back on her word and say that there was no such thing.

Unfortunately, Chen An was clearly much smarter than she had imagined. Seeing that she had agreed, he immediately pushed his luck and made such an excessive request.

“Hall Master, words are useless. You have to show me your determination first. For example… let me have a taste of sweetness now so that I can have something to look forward to.”

When Hua Xuanyin heard this, she immediately clenched her fists and fell silent.

After struggling in her heart, she finally resigned herself to fate and stretched her alluring jade feet from under the table in front of Chen An. She compromised.

“Deacon Chen, every time you see me, you like to look at my feet. You can touch them if you want.”
