That day, Gu Changsheng finished instructing Ye Hongyi and the Heavenly Peng Ancient Prince and returned to the Celestial Desolate Star.
Inside the Holy Emperor Palace, two beautiful figures, one red and one white, were handling the affairs of the myriad races of the Mortal Realm.
The red figure was naturally the incarnation of Houtu, while the white figure was the White Tiger Demon Emperor. Usually, the White Tiger Demon Emperor would cultivate in seclusion, and occasionally help her Houtu-jie-jie (older sister) with tasks when she came out of seclusion.
"Master, Master!"
At this moment, a beautiful girl rushed in. She excitedly ran to Houtu and obediently called out "Master," then sweetly greeted the White Tiger Demon Emperor with "Aunt Bai."
The White Tiger Demon Emperor nodded slightly to Tuoba Yuer.
"Yuer, haven't I taught you? You are now the Holy Maiden of the Holy Emperor Palace. Don't be so rash in your actions. I've told you many times, why can't you change?"
Houtu scolded softly.
Tuoba Yuer's pretty face tightened as she said, "Master, Yuer knows her mistake and won't do it again next time."
Hearing this, Houtu shook her head helplessly.
Tuoba Yuer was her only disciple. When Tuoba Yuer was young, she didn't announce her identity to the world. But after a few years, Tuoba Yuer had grown from a little girl into a graceful beauty. A year ago, she announced to the world that Tuoba Yuer was her disciple, and naturally, Tuoba Yuer became the Holy Maiden of the Holy Emperor Palace.
In fact, the identities of Holy Son and Holy Maiden were more suitable for Li Beifei and Ye Hongyi, but Gu Changsheng, the Holy Emperor, never cared about anything. Few people knew that the Holy Emperor had two personal disciples, so Tuoba Yuer became the Holy Maiden of the Holy Emperor Palace.
However, Tuoba Yuer was a lively person. Even after becoming the Holy Maiden of the Holy Emperor Palace, envied by countless creatures, she didn't become reserved because of it. She remained the same as before. No matter what Houtu said, she would verbally acknowledge her mistakes but resolutely refused to change.
Houtu was helpless about this. Did she have to beat her disciple like that lazy bum?
Houtu decisively dismissed the idea. Tuoba Yuer was just naturally lively, but she didn't have Li Beifei's rebellious streak. Besides, she couldn't bear to hit her.
Forget it, she's just a teenage girl. Being lively is normal. Why should I stifle that nature?
Thinking of this, Houtu's expression became much gentler. She said softly, "What's the rush to find me? I'm busy."
"Hehe, Master, look!"
Tuoba Yuer stretched out her jade hand and gently tapped in the void, but the void didn't change at all.
But Houtu and the White Tiger Demon Emperor narrowed their eyes. Others couldn't see it, but their cultivation was strong enough to sense the changes in the void in front of Tuoba Yuer.
In their eyes, a few tiny particles of dust appeared in the void touched by Tuoba Yuer's hand.
"Master, I can successfully transform the spiritual power in my body into sand and soil, hehe, am I amazing?" Tuoba Yuer's face was full of smiles, waiting for Houtu to praise her.
"Well, not bad, but you can't be proud yet. This doesn't even count as entering the door." Houtu said calmly.
Tuoba Yuer originally thought her master would be very happy, but when she heard her master's flat tone, a trace of disappointment appeared on her face. It seemed that her cultivation was not hard enough. No, her master was the Houtu Niangniang (goddess) revered by countless creatures, and she couldn't lose face for her. She must work harder in the future.
"What do you mean can't be proud?"
At this time, Gu Changsheng walked in.
"Master!" The White Tiger Demon Emperor immediately got up to welcome Gu Changsheng.
"Xiao Bai!" Gu Changsheng ruffled her hair, then looked at Tuoba Yuer and smiled, "You've grown so much after all these years, huh?"
"Yuer greets Holy Emperor Your Majesty!" Tuoba Yuer saluted Gu Changsheng.
"What Holy Emperor Your Majesty? You should call me Martial Uncle." Gu Changsheng chuckled, and after saying that, he provocatively looked at Houtu, not welcoming your Changsheng-da-gege (big brother), really unreasonable.
"Hmph!" Houtu snorted softly.
Tuoba Yuer looked at her master, then looked at Gu Changsheng, and finally said, "Greetings, Martial Uncle!"
"Haha, Yuer is so good, come, this pot of thousand-year peach blossom wine is just right for your current cultivation, consider it a gift from Martial Uncle."
Gu Changsheng took out a pot of peach blossom wine and handed it to Tuoba Yuer. When Tuoba Yuer saw the peach blossom wine, a gleam of excitement flashed in her eyes, and she accepted it without saying a word.
"You drunkard, don't corrupt the child." Houtu said indignantly, it's fine if you drink it yourself, but you're giving it to my disciple.
"It's just a pot of wine, why are you making such a fuss?" Gu Changsheng said.
"Yuer, you go down first, by the way, drink less." Houtu said to Tuoba Yuer.
"Yes, Master." Tuoba Yuer nodded, took the peach blossom wine given by Gu Changsheng and left the Holy Emperor Palace in a puff of smoke.
"It seems that Yuer can't wait to taste the peach blossom wine." Gu Changsheng laughed.
"Hmph!" Speaking of wine, Houtu snorted again.
"What's wrong with you? Are you going through menopause?" Gu Changsheng asked suspiciously.
"You're the one going through menopause, Xiao Bai, you tell him."
Houtu said to the White Tiger Demon Emperor.
Gu Changsheng looked at the White Tiger Demon Emperor. The White Tiger Demon Emperor said, "Master, it's like this..."
After listening to the White Tiger Demon Emperor's words, Gu Changsheng's face was full of wry smiles.
"How can you blame me for this? I didn't ask Yuer to steal wine from my yard." Gu Changsheng only felt that he was very innocent. It turned out that the current Tuoba Yuer had also become a little drunkard, no wonder Houtu had such a big opinion just now.
Before, Gu Changsheng had concocted a lot of wine and put it in his yard, and naturally he wouldn't set up any barriers to prevent outsiders from entering, after all, the Gu family members couldn't enter his yard casually, but Tuoba Yuer was different, her status in the Gu family was very high now, even forbidden areas could be entered, plus Tuoba Yuer didn't know about Gu Changsheng's yard, so when she saw a yard full of the aroma of wine, she curiously walked in.
Going in sober, coming out drunk, since that day, she became a little drunkard. Gu Changsheng giving her peach blossom wine just now was more to her liking than giving her magical weapons, after all, she didn't lack these, she only lacked delicious wine.
"Drinking is fine, it's okay for cultivators to drink, let her drink if she likes, why bother so much?" Gu Changsheng said to Houtu.
Houtu said, "I don't object to drinking, what I object to is that she will become a drunkard like you in the future. Is she my disciple or your disciple?"
"Oh, I understand, you're jealous!" Gu Changsheng said.
"..."
Houtu stared at him speechlessly.
"Hey, what's yours is mine, isn't your disciple my disciple? Don't forget who I am to you!"
Gu Changsheng said.
"Speak, what's the matter with your sudden return?" Houtu directly stopped talking about these topics with Gu Changsheng.
"What are you saying? Can't I come back if I have nothing to do?" Gu Changsheng was unhappy. In principle, he was the master of the Holy Emperor Palace. Did the master need a reason to go home?
Houtu didn't speak, just stared at him like that. Based on her understanding of Gu Changsheng, he would never come to her if he had nothing to do.
"Okay, I do have something, but this matter is just incidental. The most important thing is to come back and see you and Xiao Bai, really, believe me!" Gu Changsheng said sincerely.
"Xiao Bai, do you believe him?" Houtu asked.
"I believe whatever Master says!" The White Tiger Demon Emperor smiled.
"I'm dizzy, why did I ask you?" Houtu slapped her forehead, wasn't asking Xiao Bai just asking for nothing?
"Speak if you have something to say, I'm busy!" Houtu glared at Gu Changsheng.
"It's nothing, just give me some Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, I want to plant trees!"
