Chapter 255: 255 - A bunch of grumpy old farts

The mood in the Orthodox Alliance was cheerful.

Most of the restrictions on warriors entering and leaving without permission had been lifted and for the vast majority, everything was peaceful.

In fact, it was better than before.

The demon cult attacks had suddenly decreased by a large margin and the leaders and guardians of the nine great sects and seven great families were gathering there.

The ambush on the Tang family patriarch already seemed completely forgotten, especially because of the event that was about to take place.

Long Tianyu had challenged a novice to a battle to the death.

Not only had the rookie accepted, but Yanxiao himself, one of the most powerful Transcendence Realm experts in mortal heaven, had given permission for it to take place.

This event also accompanied rumors that this rookie was Tang Biyue’s lover, but obviously no one believed it.

Women like Tang Biyue rarely found partners in their lives, not outside of political marriages.

They died and lived for their cultivation, nothing more.

Qingyi couldn’t help but giggle when he heard these rumors as he passed the center of the orthodox alliance.

He felt a bit bad about damaging Biyue’s honor like that, but fortunately, almost no one believed it.

What shock wouldn’t they have if they found out the truth?

Shaking his head, Qingyi hurried forward, arriving at the snake battalion’s huge administrative pavilion.

"Oh... young master Qingyi!" The attendant noticed him immediately and bowed respectfully. "Was your training productive?"

"Yes, I wish to report to Lady Biyue," Qingyi said.

"Right, she’s in her quarters."

"Thank you."

Qingyi soon found himself climbing the wide staircase that led to the highest floor of the pavilion, where Biyue’s chamber was located.

He didn’t even knock, opening the door immediately.

The living room was empty, but Qingyi could hear the sound of a shower coming from the main suite.

His clothes immediately fell to the floor as a broad smile took over his face.

Biyue had her guard completely down, her eyes closed as the hot water poured over her head, down the deep valley of her enormous breasts, washing the porcelain skin of her voluptuous body.

It was nice to finally have some time to relax.

Especially after these last few hellish weeks where her life had come down to meetings and meetings with the sect leaders and the council of elders, trying to decide how to react to the demonic cult.

To make matters worse, Tianyu was being increasingly demanding, trying to find out what her relationship with Qingyi was.

She was having to stop herself from poisoning that bastard.

Fortunately, she was confident that Qingyi would be able to get rid of him.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of powerful hands grab her from behind, flowing straight up to her huge tits, squeezing them gently.

"Nghnn~~ Qingyi, you..." Biyue blushed deeply, looking down as her body shuddered.

"What, you didn’t expect your husband to arrive today?"

Qingyi smiled, moving his face and placing a gentle bite on her ear, delighting in the sharp gasp that escaped her lips.

"No... it’s just that..." Biyue turned around, embracing Qingyi, her breasts squeezed between her delicate torso and his chest, every little movement making the soft skin slide across Qingyi’s skin.

He liked that feeling.

"Let me guess," Qingyi thought for a moment. "You’re anxious because of a bunch of grumpy old farts who can’t make up their minds?"

Those words completely shattered Biyue’s worried face, eliciting an oppressed laugh.

"Bunch of grumpy old farts... hahaha..." She wiped away the drops that had accumulated on her face.

"Do you know how many people would lose their minds if they heard you saying that about the most respected experts to have set foot on this earth in the last 10,000 years?"

"People who have no experience with damned old men... my first master was one of those, I would never have met you or the other girls if I were to follow his teachings,"

Qingyi said, his voice changing tone.

"I’m glad I didn’t."

Those words immediately made Biyue’s heart flutter, her eyes welling up.

"Qingyi... what are you planning to do, after everything here?" The poisonous beauty asked.

"The immortal heaven and then the celestial one. I want to rule it all." Qingyi declared, his words arrogant, but there was no arrogance in his voice.

Watching Biyue, he remembered the gift he had given her before he went to train; pills made by Feiyan herself, enough to improve her bloodline and constitution to mortal grade.

Looking at her status screen, Qingyi could only sigh.

She had already absorbed everything perfectly; a talent like hers was truly impossible to fake.

"What if you fail?" Biyue asked, ignoring Qingyi’s burning gaze.

She didn’t doubt his words, not after everything she’d seen.

"I’ve never thought about that possibility, I don’t even think it’s worth thinking about." Qingyi shook his head.

He then pulled Biyue into the large bathtub in his bathroom, where they just stood there in silence.

"What’s the orthodox alliance’s strategy, what do they want to do?" Qingyi asked, his hands caressing Biyue’s delicate waist, feeling the soft, silky skin under his fingers.

"They want to concentrate all our forces on one front, that’s probably what the demon cult will do too.

There are two most likely passages for the demon cult to invade, we want to create a main force of at least five hundred thousand warriors to deal with one of the passages.

The other possible passage is the least likely, we’ll just keep a reserve force to protect our flank, just in case.

I’ll probably be the one to lead this reserve force."

"I understand..." Qingyi scratched his chin.

Honestly, he had to admit that the orthodox alliance was managing to hide the fact that the war was about to start very well.

In the end, it was important to avoid panic so that they could organize themselves properly.

Perhaps that was what they wanted to use his duel with Tianyu for, a way of distracting the masses before giving them the order to march.
