Chapter 181: What's the Plan?

In the end, under the opposition of Chen Daoxuan and Ao Lan, Li Yourong's idea of living as the King of Hell was strangled in the cradle.

For some reason, after hearing Li Yourong's terrifying thoughts, those demon beasts who were originally more emotional became more honest, and their eyes no longer had the original brilliance

"Okay! Play with them first. Besides, you come with me."

Chen Daoxuan shook his head helplessly, he no longer cared about Li Yourong, but called Ao Lan to leave together.

Li Yourong blinked his eyes as she looked at the master's leaving back, but soon her attention was attracted to the monster in the spirit circle again.

"Woo"

Feeling the gaze of the little devil, all the monsters trembled in fear. But to their surprise, Li Yourong smiled sweetly at them.

Li Yourong leaned against the railing, cradling her small face as she peered at the demon beasts with narrowed eyes, inquiring, "Can you be friends with me? Like real good friends?"

The numerous demon beasts were momentarily bewildered. Just a while ago, this little mischief-maker wanted to devour them alive, and now she was talking about being the best of friends? But if they became friends, they surely wouldn't end up as someone's meal, right?

Therefore, every demon beast with awakened intelligence nodded eagerly, expressing their willingness to become her best friends.

"Fantastic!" Li Yourong exclaimed. "Hehe, I've made so many new friends!"

Seeing their satisfaction, Li Yourong chuckled. Her gaze swept over her newfound friends, contemplating which one Aunt Lan should start with

Demon Beasts: For some reason, her gaze sends shivers down our spines

Ao Lan followed Chen Daoxuan to the front of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. Oddly enough, she had yet to enter the pavilion despite being within its boundaries. She could sense some kind of barrier around the pavilion. Without Master's permission, one couldn't forcefully intrude.

However, the plaque above the Heavenly Dao Pavilion had been quite beneficial to Ao Lan. She had already stepped into the edge of Tribulation Crossing Realm, gaining some exposure to the laws.

When she looked at the plaque atop the pavilion, she could consciously prevent herself from losing complete awareness. Yet, she could only achieve this by averting her gaze, rendering her unable to feel or comprehend the three thousand great avenues within the plaque.

"Oh, right. I forgot to give you this."

Chen Daoxuan slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering something. Following that, he reached into the void, conjuring a crystal-clear jade pendant with the character "Lan" carved on it. Ao Lan extended her hands to receive it, but Chen Daoxuan smiled and personally placed the pendant around her smooth neck.

"Thank you, My Lord," Aunt Lan smiled openly, giving a slight bow.

"No need to be so formal with me. With this pendant, you can freely enter and leave the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, as well as sense the true essence of the three thousand great avenues within the plaque at any time.

"Later, you can choose a room you like. Also, this pendant has a storage function. In addition, it has various other effects, such as helping you maintain clarity in your spiritual sea, guarding against disturbances from inner demons, and resisting illusions.

"Furthermore, as long as you have this pendant, no matter where you are or what you're facing, I, Chen Daoxuan, can ensure your safety."

With his hands behind his back, Chen Daoxuan stood there and briefly introduced the functions of the jade pendant to Aunt Lan. The multiple effects mentioned earlier had already surprised Ao Lan.

During cultivation, the most feared thing was inner demons, especially during breakthroughs. If an unexpected inner demon took hold during a heavenly tribulation, it could potentially lead to losing control and rationality.

The last sentence, however, made her lips part in astonishment.

"My Lord, has anyone ever told you that you're quite heart-stirring?"

Anywhere, no matter the circumstances, she would remain unharmed. If someone else had said this, Ao Lan might have brushed it off or even sneered.

Given her current strength, she could be considered a powerful figure even in the Central Continent, apart from those who faced the Holy Land. However, when it came from Chen Daoxuan, even though his tone was calm, she felt a deep sense of security.

"Really?" Chen Daoxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, chuckling. "You're the first to say that to me."

Naturally, his words weren't mere boasts. By wearing this jade pendant, he would be immediately alerted to any danger. He could intervene instantly!

"Yes!"

Aunt Lan nodded firmly while gazing at the man before her.

Despite the onset of winter, no coldness seemed to exist in his presence. The fur on his greatcoat fluttered in the breeze, swaying left and right, yet his posture remained resolute, as if nothing in the world could bend his spine. For a moment, Ao Lan couldn't help but be captivated by his unwavering presence.

"Cough, don't just stand there foolishly. Choose a room first. I'll give you something to enhance your strength."

After observing her for a while, Chen Daoxuan cleared his throat.

The two of them entered the pavilion. Aunt Lan discovered a multitude of rooms inside, each with a unique style. Some of the designs were so peculiar that she had never seen anything like them before. However, every room was fully furnished and ready for her use.

"I didn't expect My Lord to be so attentive."

Seeing this, Ao Lan's opinion of Chen Daoxuan grew even more favorable. Before long, she had chosen a room. Once inside, she took the initiative to close the door behind them.

"Well, here's the Ancient Dragon Blood, Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, Second-Grade Golden Pill. Also, this Dragon Amaryllis, Azure Dragon Ginseng, and these as well. They should all be helpful for you. They should be enough to help you easily break through the Tribulation Crossing Realm and improve your aptitude at the same time.

"Huh? When did you take off your clothes? What are you planning?"

Chen Daoxuan had his back turned to the door, and he wasn't aware of what was happening behind him. He had spent a whopping 190,000 system points to exchange for ten types of heavenly treasures suitable for Ao Lan, placing them one by one on the table in the room. Just the Second-Grade Golden Pill alone cost a hefty 100,000 points.

But when he turned around, he was startled.

When did Ao Lan close the door and, by the way, remove her clothes?

"Um I want to."

Ao Lan wasn't shy. After all, she had already given herself to the man before her. From now on, she would serve only him. Moreover, having lived for thousands of years, she had long passed the age of bashfulness.

""

Chen Daoxuan was taken aback. Was that what she meant? However, since Ao Lan was already like this, he naturally wouldn't just turn and leave.

"Then, let's begin!"
