In the secret chamber.
The air suddenly beca quiet.
Luo Hao and Luo Xiu stared at each other, silently pondering for a long ti, and ultimately compromised.
The Three-Star Clan was important to him and had its uses, but it was not irreplaceable.
After all, a Three-Star Clan couldn't compare to his reputation as Emperor Hao, nor to the entire Heaven Azure Empire.
If he were to fight Luo Xiu here tonight, it would cause trendous damage to the Imperial Palace, and if Luo Xiu's identity as the "Azure Emperor" were exposed, Emperor Hao would stand to lose much more.
"Then, Emperor Shura, rember what you just said—the Heaven Azure Empire is mine."
Luo Hao casually tossed a jade talisman to Luo Xiu, then closed his eyes, unwilling to engage with him further.
Luo Xiu caught the jade talisman and said, "Well then, Emperor Hao, have fun. I'm looking forward to seeing how far you can play with the Creation Green Lotus."
Luo Hao smiled faintly, unable to resist retorting, "It's laughable that the Green Lotus, originally yours, you couldn't understand, yet I can master it."
Luo Xiu mocked, "Lucky you still acknowledge it belongs to ."
Luo Hao countered, "Sothing that belongs to you, yet you cannot protect it. All you do is rage uselessly in front of ?"
Luo Xiu laughed, "I never imagined you'd steal the master's items and then shalessly gloat before him, thinking it's an achievent to flaunt."
"Besides, that was just trash I discarded years ago. If you picked it up, so be it; I'm too lazy to argue with you."
"After all, as an outsider of the Luo Clan, lacking talent and bloodline, the good-for-nothing you are, you can only rely on that flower to fill your insecurities."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hao shook his head slightly, smiling, "It's not trash; you just have eyes but failed to see, foolish and ignorant."
"The trash you once saw, I can elevate it beyond your reach. Don't you find that ironic?"
"The fact that a good-for-nothing like you would play with trash is irony itself."
"Tian'er, it's been a while; your skills in verbal sparring have improved."
"But I slept for over forty years, only to find my Hao'er still hasn't progressed."
"Tian'er, I think the title 'Emperor of Strong Words' suits you better."
"Rember I called you to act just now; you didn't dare. You might as well be called 'Emperor of Cowardice.' You can't win even in a verbal duel; in a real fight, you'd lose much worse."
"Soon, when I have you beneath my feet, I hope you can still be this strong-mouthed."
"No matter how beautiful the dream, it will eventually end. Perhaps next ti, I'll grant your wish to close your eyes forever."
"..."
Listening to the two brothers' sarcastic exchange seed never-ending, Hua Muyan felt speechless for a mont and tugged at Luo Xiu's sleeve, signaling them to leave quickly.
"Hao'er, I'm leaving. You'd better hope we don't et again next ti."
"Take care; I look forward to personally inscribing your failure next ti, Tian'er."
"..."
A while later.
Luo Xiu exited Luo Hao's secluded retreat with Hua Muyan.
Hua Muyan wiped the sweat from her brow, feeling frustrated, "I think the verbal duels between you two brothers are more exciting than the real fights."
Luo Xiu said, "I do want to fight him."
Hua Muyan shook her head helplessly, "I find it amusing how you two brothers bicker like children, neither willing to lose out."
"It's incredible to hear the Azure Emperor and Emperor Hao bicker; it's almost unbelievable."
"But honestly, things went quite smoothly this ti. I didn't expect him to reveal the whereabouts of the Three-Star Clan so easily. Were you confident before coming here, master?"
Luo Xiu nodded, "Of course. Luo Hao is a deeply scheming person, concerned with too many things."
"If you engage in underhanded tactics with him, it's hard to outplay him. Dealing with this kind of person requires a simple and direct approach."
"..."
As ti passed by slowly.
Just as Luo Xiu left the Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital, he sensed dozens of powerful presences nearby.
Clearly, assassins were already lying in wait!
Luo Xiu suddenly stopped and asked, "Before you act, is there anyone who wants to withdraw?"
Unexpectedly, the next mont.
Daos' Spirit Light, carrying terrifying power, shot towards him!
Luo Xiu remained unfazed, and with a re glance, Sword Qi surged, instantly obliterating those Dao's Spirit Lights.
Just as Luo Xiu prepared to make a move to slaughter the place, a green light suddenly flew in from the night sky, hovering above the city gate.
Luo Xiu looked up to see a green sparrow.
The green sparrow suddenly spoke in Luo Hao's voice, "All of you, get lost!"
Afterward, Luo Xiu sensed the ambushers retreating and disappearing nearby.
He looked at the green sparrow and asked, "Should I thank you?"
The green sparrow said, "What are you thanking for? Just a bunch of useless trash. Don't you have the confidence to handle it? Hurry up and leave, before my master's dogs chase you again."
"Then rember to lock your house and tie your dogs well, lest I co in and slaughter their master another day."
"..."
...
After leaving the Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital, Luo Xiu found a secluded place and opened a portal to enter the Land of Lawlessness.
In the rundown Hundred Herbs Garden.
When Luo Xiu dropped a droplet of Tree Heart Liquid onto the Divine Vine, a surge of life force erupted!
He could clearly feel the Dao Lemon, which had been bitten slightly by Mu Yueqing, greedily absorbing the Tree Heart Liquid and gradually reviving.
After a while.
With half a bottle of Tree Heart Liquid used, the wounds on the Dao Lemon had already healed, and its size was visibly increasing.
Hua Muyan praised, "This Tree Heart Liquid is amazing!"
"Of course, it's also due to the master's Fortune-Forming Power!"
Luo Xiu frowned as he pondered, "You're also Construct Wood, so by that logic... should the liquid from you also...?"
However, before he could finish the sentence, Hua Muyan's hand pinched his arm hard, making him grimace in pain.
"What are you thinking about all day long?"
Hua Muyan's face flushed red, stomping her foot in embarrassnt and anger.
"Geez, did you use Ten Thousand Manifestations?"
Just then, Master Ping rushed over, unable to stop himself from exclaiming.
He looked at the Dao Lemon, now as big as a winter lon, astounded.
Luo Xiu shook his head, "Why would I use that on the Dao Lemon?"
Master Ping stared intently at the half-bottle of Tree Heart Liquid in Luo Xiu's hand, licking his lips.
He suddenly climbed onto Luo Xiu's shoulder, saying, "Co on, buddy, so this good stuff…"
Luo Xiu replied straightforwardly, "The remaining half, you and Yan'er can have half each."
Master Ping's eyes lit up, "Good brother!"
Next to him, Hua Muyan happily clapped her hands and then leaned in to give Luo Xiu a kiss.
This Tree Heart Liquid is indeed a Divine Object for plant-type demons!
Though it's unclear what Master Ping intends to do with it.
Luo Xiu, watching the Dao Lemon, said, "It looks like the lon will ripen in a day or two."
"Master Ping, you watch over it here."
"Got it!"
After leaving the Hundred Herbs Garden, Luo Xiu went straight to the Green Lotus Palace to find Mu Yueqing.
Mu Yueqing, her hair disheveled, sat on the bed, with her face still bearing so lingering bruises.
Seeing Luo Xiu approach, extre resentnt filled her gaze.
Luo Xiu stood before her, directly beginning to undress, saying, "I need your Moonlight."
Just earlier, when watering the Primordial Divine Vine, he employed so Fortune-Forming Power.
So now, he needed to replenish it.
