I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1223: Zhao’er and the Empress

"You also know that, as of now, there are six levels of Pupil Skill, with the Myriad Manifestation Eye belonging to the fifth level, while the Sen Luo Eye sits at the peak, which is the sixth level. I refer to this sixth level as divine-level."

Mother En nodded, "Indeed, the Myriad Manifestation Eye is merely a byproduct of the Sen Luo Eye, and compared to the true Sen Luo Eye, the gap is still too large."

"Hmm." You agree with Mother En’s statement, "When I emerged from the Map of Kingdom, I distinctly felt an immense yet intricate force seeping into the depths of my soul, sealing away most of the power of the Seal of Truesky."

"The appearance of Yun Chu at that time did indeed shock me."

When Yun Chu is mentioned, a hint of involuntary reverence flashes in Mother En’s eyes.

After all, looking through the ages, there are few who dare to directly face the Heavenly Gods, and Yun Chu and his wife are among them.

"Only after Sister Zhao’er and I both awakened did I realize that that person was Yun Chu." You paused before continuing, "The Sen Luo Eye was created by Yun Chu, and his mastery over it has reached the pinnacle. After activating the Seal of Truesky, I found that the power of the Heavenly Dao is, to some extent, universally consistent. Whether it’s Yun Chu’s Sen Luo Eye, Wu Dao’s Seal of Truesky, or Liu Dao’s Six Paths Eyes, once they reach the ultimate limit, the power they exhibit is almost identical. The only difference is each person’s understanding of the Heavenly Dao; the deeper the understanding, the more power one naturally commands, and the more skillfully it can be wielded."

At this point, Mother En basically understood what you intended to do.

She did not try to stop you, but instead clarified the words you had just heard, "Remember when you asked me why I said we were short on time? That’s because, during this period when you were absent, there were reports from around the world that the seals on all members of the Demon Tribe have shown signs of weakening."

"The Demon Tribe?"

In your mind naturally surface the demons from the myths, with bat wings, goat horns protruding from their heads, and the bottom halves of their legs resembling cow hooves.

Knowing that you are unfamiliar with the Demon Tribe, Mother En immediately explains, "Actually, the so-called Demon Tribe is not as malevolent as portrayed by religions. Just like humans, they have good and evil, and in terms of appearance, they do not differ much from us. It is only that their energy attribute is completely opposite to ours."

Seeing your still puzzled face, Mother En couldn’t help but laugh, "My child, sometimes you’re sharper than a ghost, and at other times, as dull as an ox. Let me give you the simplest example, you must know about the war between the An Nan Tribe and the Jiuli Tribe Alliance, right?"

You nod your head, "That was the first major battle in our An Nan’s history. In the eyes of many historians, the reason for the war was the struggle for territory and food, but at that time, the lands of An Nan were lush and food was abundant. There was no need for that. The war was mainly due to differing beliefs and power attributes. To put it simply, the attribute of the An Nan Tribe was Yang, while they were Yin. When Yin and Yang are separate, there is peace, but once they touch, they are as incompatible as water and fire."

"So, after the An Nan Tribe was victorious, those who had contributed became gods and the Jiuli Tribe fell and became demons?"

"Something like that, though there’s deeper complexity involved, but there’s no need for us to delve into it."

"Hmm." You nod your head, "Mother En, you know me, I’ve always been one to let things slide, I’m not the type to dig deep into matters."

Mother En, smiling, pats your head, "For these thousands of years, god and demon have coexisted peacefully. Occasionally, some demons would sneak up from the Demon Realm through some cracks, have their fun, and then vanish without a trace. But recently, there seem to be more demons appearing, and although we don’t know the exact reason, you must be extra careful. After all, the power of the Heavenly Dao you control is like a kind of drug to them."

"Okay, I’ll remember that."

At this moment, Mother En slowly stands up, "It’s getting late, I’ll go cook some delicious food for you."

You hurriedly press Mother En back into the lounge chair, laughing, "Now that your grandson has grown up, there’s no need for you to lift a finger."

With that, you clap your hands towards the direction of the inner room.

Immediately afterward, the Crazy Woman took the lead, carrying an Eight Immortals table out from the house, followed by Lin Panxia and Xi Yu, who were carrying chairs. Once the table, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks were set up, Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi came out from the house with the already cooked dishes and neatly placed them on the Eight Immortals table.

By now, Mother En was already beaming with joy. Glancing at the women, she noticed someone was missing and asked, "How come someone is missing?"

Zhao’er smiled gently, as delicate as a lotus flower in water: "Su Su is breastfeeding the child at home, it’s not convenient for her to come."

Mother En shook her head slightly: "I know Su Su is with the child; what I meant was that Wu Family girl whose Human Soul is connected to yours."

As soon as Mother En said that, aside from Zhao’er, the other four ladies simultaneously turned their heads and stared at you.

That kind of feeling

tsk tsk tsk, it’s like having knives pointed at your back.

"Well, our relationship is purely platonic, just friends, yes, friends, no wait, Mother En, what did you just say?" You suddenly realize something’s amiss and immediately ask Mother En.

"Brother Mu Yun, you’re so silly; you’re not old yet, but your ears are failing," Lin Panxia said in a coquettish voice, "Mother En mentioned that the Empress’s Human Soul is connected with Sister Zhao’er’s."

Exactly, that was it!

You gaze straight at Mother En, hoping she could explain further.

However, Mother En didn’t pay any more attention to you, since Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi had already persuaded her to sit down, with one on each side snuggling up to her, and the three other ladies likewise acting spoiled, completely treating you as if you were air.

You scratched your head, realizing this issue would probably need to be discussed with Zhao’er later at night.

Among the women, you, Zhao’er, and Wu Qiyi almost have a telepathic understanding; after all, their souls were reshaped by your Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and because of the shared cultivation of the Seal of Truesky, you and Zhao’er have had even more of a heart-to-heart bond.

Therefore, after the four women inside the house had gone to sleep, Zhao’er quietly stepped out beyond the fence under the moonlight, bringing a sweet fragrance as refreshing as if it were made of elixir, and came to stand behind you.

Her hands wrapped around your waist from behind, pressing her soft and fragrant body against yours.

"Zhao’er, look, that mooncake in the sky looks so big, shall I go up and get it down for you to eat?"

"My lord is teasing your concubine," she replied.

Her voice was as gentle as the mountain breeze on a bright spring day, soothing and pleasant.

You turned slightly, pulling Zhao’er’s enchanting body that had bewitched countless people into your arms, and then the two of you sat quietly on a smoothed stone nearby.

The stone was a bit cold, so you naturally enveloped Zhao’er in your embrace, allowing her curvaceous bottom to sit on your hip, her arms wrapped around your neck, each of her breaths gently touching your chin, soft and tender, light and tickling.
