115: Chapter 113 Extreme Joy Method 115: Chapter 113 Extreme Joy Method “What’s the use of assassination?” True to form, Heavenly Girl caressed a flower as she naturally followed along with the conversation, as if she indeed was demonstrating power to persuade joining the sect, “Our Maitreya Sect is widespread across Jiangnan, and a vast majority of the officials in Yangzhou have joined us, while the Cao Gang is full of our followers.

There is even a Heavenly Girl at the Magistrate’s side.

With just a call to arms, let alone Yangzhou, the entire Jiangnan region would be ours.

If the two of you could join, you would both be considered Bodhisattvas in time.”

“So even with such a presence, you’re still in hiding, which means you’re just waiting for the right moment?” Zhao Changhe suggested, “Like waiting for your Sect Hierarch to start something elsewhere, and then you’ll respond from here?”

Heavenly Girl shook her head, “That I truly do not know… After all, I am commanded to come and spread the teachings to the young master, with no specific mention of needing the young master to do anything, just to attract him into joining the sect.

If there are indeed things the young master needs to do, perhaps it will involve drawing the Four Symbols Sect’s attention later on, making it easier for us to set an ambush and kill them.

After all, you bear a grudge against the Four Symbols Sect, making you excellent bait…

These are all I can think of.”

Zhao Changhe was taken aback by her words, “So the Four Symbols Sect is active here too, even more secretive than you?”

Yue Hongling spoke softly, “The Four Symbols Sect has always been known for their secrecy, unlike the Maitreya Sect which requires a broad base of followers.

They do not aspire to this… At most, they would do things like subdue the Blood God Sect, acquiring some affiliates to do their bidding in public.

Most of the time, you would not even know who around you is a member of the Four Symbols Sect.”

Zhao Changhe scratched his head, “It seems quite common to me…”

Even Heavenly Girl couldn’t help but interject, “Young Master, you yourself come from a subordinate sect of the Four Symbols Sect, isn’t it very normal to see them around…”

“Alright then,” Zhao Changhe wondered, “My cultivation is rudimentary.

Do you really favor me so much just because of my ties with the Four Symbols Sect?”

“It’s not just that,” she continued.

“Our sect’s spiritual practice involves Killing to Become Buddha.

Killing one person makes you a one-residence Bodhisattva, killing ten people a ten-residence Bodhisattva.

Young Master, with your bloodthirsty nature and sky-high killing aura, you are most suitable for our teachings… The title ‘Asura’ is not just a nickname but Buddha’s expectation for you, perhaps one day you will truly achieve the rank of an Asura.” As Heavenly Girl spoke, her face actually bore expectations and admiration; her mission to entice Zhao Changhe indeed came from a place of sincerity…

Zhao Changhe: “…Then you might as well try to recruit the Blood God Sect, for they are the real bloodthirsty killers.”

“We would like to,” Heavenly Girl admitted with a hint of loathing, “The Four Symbols Sect is truly an annoyance, boasting only four Ancient Demon Beasts.

What is there to worship?”

Zhao Changhe said, “Based on what you’re saying, then the improvement you mentioned about my meridian condition, does that actually hold some truth?”

Heavenly Girl glanced cautiously at Yue Hongling, who had remained quietly listening to their exchange, only occasionally providing an explanation, much like a modest bride who leaves the control of the conversation to the man.

Heavenly Girl inwardly marveled and said in a low voice, “It is indeed true.

Our Heavenly Girl’s Ultimate Bliss Method can bring mutual benefits to both the Heavenly Girl and Buddha… Many believers who joined in adulthood saw their cultivation soar after receiving True Yuan, naturally free from the troubles of fixed meridians… If the young master is willing, I…”

“Do not be so trusting!” Yue Hongling, who had been acting like the quiet bride, suddenly interjected, “Their method is nothing but a Replenishing Evil Skill that relies on a so-called furnace to skip years of hard cultivation.

What appears to be rapid progress is actually of no help to your meridian issues.

Furthermore, the impure Qi obtained from the replenishing is chaotic; such cultivation is very shallow.

You must not be tempted by quick gains… Moreover, once you fall for their control, you’ll never be able to break free…”

“Enough said.” Zhao Changhe, finding Yue Hongling’s anxious demeanor rather endearing, instinctively stretched out his hand to ruffle her hair but remembered just in time that this was Yue Hongling, not Cui Yuanyang, and awkwardly withdrew it.

Yue Hongling just stared as his hand reached out and then retracted, “Hmph,” she snorted.

Heavenly Girl hurriedly explained, “We’re not all about the replenishing; there are also Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Girls who truly benefit each other through legitimate Dual Cultivation!

Otherwise, how would our high-level members practice cultivation?

Sustained harmony can indeed have a certain beneficial effect on the meridians.

If this is false, may I never return to the true emptiness of my homeland!”

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling exchanged a look.

With such an oath made, there probably was such a method, but what they initially intended for Zhao Changhe was definitely not this.

This time, Zhao Changhe was actually somewhat intrigued, thinking to himself that such a thing was essential for the main character.

While it may not be a cure, he mused, why resist if it’s part of the transmigration package?

He asked, “Do you possess this cultivation technique?”

Heavenly Girl was uncertain whether to speak truth or lie, “I only have a rudimentary understanding of this technique.

The young master must join the sect, then Maitreya will surely pass it on.”

After hesitating for a moment, Yue Hongling started to search her.

Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her, his expression somewhat bemused.

Sister Yue, are you helping me find the Dual Cultivation Technique?

Planning to find it so I can use it with whom?

Indeed, Yue Hongling was helping him look for the Dual Cultivation Technique… She searched thoroughly but found nothing and sighed, “It’s a pity we don’t possess the Soul Search or the mental control secret techniques, otherwise we might have discovered something…”

Heavenly Girl, having been searched, wore a strange expression.

Are we the Demon Sect, or are you?

Aren’t you supposed to be a heroine?

Or is it that you’re searching first just so he won’t have the chance?

At this moment, the unmistakable sound of footsteps approached from outside, and a low voice spoke at the door, “Are the two of you…

enjoying yourselves to the fullest?”

Zhao Changhe looked at the Heavenly Girl, who knew that simply having a Heavenly Girl like her leak secrets by the Magistrate’s side was already unforgivable, let alone what would happen if they found out more—flaying and tendon extraction would be the least of punishments.

Reaching this point in the act, she of course knew how to continue, promptly cooing seductively, “Changhe is so fierce and vigorous, he’s left me weak and limp even now…”

Yue Hongling, who continued to roam his hands over her, twitched the corner of his mouth.

Don’t pretend to be Yue Hongling in front of me, and since when do you call him Changhe?

From outside came a chuckle, “Sorry to interrupt, this is Young Master Wan Dongliu delivering an invitation, asking Mr.

Zhao to join the evening banquet.”

Zhao Changhe asked, “Where is it?”

“Bright Moon Pavilion.”

“Tell him, I will attend.”

The voice outside responded, still laughing, “Then I won’t disturb the two of you any further.

Enjoy yourselves.”

In a timely moment, the Pinhua Heavenly Girl let out a delicate gasp, which was a reaction to Yue Hongling’s touch.

Yue Hongling: “…”

Zhao Changhe, holding back a wave of strange emotions, suddenly pulled out a pill heavy with Blood Qi, and stuffed it into the Heavenly Girl’s mouth, “This is the Blood Evil Pill of our Blood God Sect, if no antidote is taken within ten days, your Blood Qi will run wild, your body will explode, and you will die a gruesome death.

Don’t hope for Maitreya to save you, as our systems are incompatible.”

In fact, he didn’t have any poison at all; what he gave her was actually a Blood Stabilization Pill used to suppress the affliction caused by the Blood Evil Skill.

Of course, to outsiders, it seemed like a special technique of the Blood God Sect, making it hard to discern.

The Pinhua Heavenly Girl silently felt around and indeed sensed something extra in her blood.

She sighed, “There’s no need for you to use such a vicious drug, I would have to continue playing the part…

It has to be me who is joyous with you today.

I know how to deal with them, and as for the truth about you two being a pair, no one will find out…”

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling exchanged a glance, both nodding.

Yue Hongling said, “I’ll go out and show my face on the streets, to see if Wan Dongliu will look for me.”

Having said that, she escaped through the window, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

From beginning to end, neither of them thought to argue even once whether they were a pair…

after all, wasn’t it like that with the chief’s wife back then…

The Pinhua Heavenly Girl was sighing, “The Maitreya Sect does not see you as an enemy, which is why you could deceive them like this.

Once they become aware, you could be in extreme danger…

Really, what’s wrong with just being one of us?

I truly don’t understand…”

Zhao Changhe didn’t bother to discuss the correctness of her mentality; she had been deeply brainwashed and was impossible to reason with.

Besides, their methods of attempting to control me with secret techniques were not exactly ‘one of us’ either.

He didn’t say much, only commenting, “Let’s talk about it later.”

He sat for a moment until Yue Hongling was far enough away before he confidently strode out the door.

Outside, he saw a certain individual and patted his shoulder, “This Heavenly Girl pretending to be Yue Hongling couldn’t fool me, but playing the part like that was indeed an exquisite thrill.

I now understand the surprise the Upper Buddha spoke of; extend my gratitude to the Upper Buddha for his kind intentions.”

After speaking, he casually left the Xiao Xiang Inn.

The individual hurried into the room, and the Pinhua Heavenly Girl, with a flushed face and dewy eyes, lazily rearranged her clothes, sighing, “Blown cover, I told you all the taste can’t be hidden after going to bed…

But luckily, he was indulgent, thought it felt exceptionally exciting.”

The individual conveyed his understanding, “What about the matter of controlling him with the secret technique…”

“If we’re already caught, how dare we further misuse it?

He’s not a fool.

We’ll have to take it slow.

I think we can definitely win him over.

You can’t rush to eat hot tofu; maybe he’ll genuinely fall for my charm…”
