Chapter 118 - Man Vows to Bring Peace to the Immortal Realm by Introducing Furries to Cultivators
While Fu Tong’s initial intention in inviting Dong Bai was to eliminate Pei Gui Hong, he secretly harbored a different sche.
In the third Chapter, players, ng Tianrui, the Yuei Clan, and Xiao Han Ce competed in a battle royal to win over the Celestial Fox Clan. Fu Tong didn’t have to worry about it, as he had already cleared everything in advance.
However, the fourth Chapter onward was a different ball ga. Politics, clan wars, and faction alignnts ca into play.
According to the story in the fourth Chapter, players and protagonists, if they survived, would co into contact with the Long Clan, the Xia Clan, the Immortal Ji Clan, and the Crescent Lu Clan in order. These clans would invite players to swear allegiance to them, depending on the player’s alignnt and achievents.
Siding with the Xia Clan was a shortcut to bad endings, as they belonged to the fourth protagonist’s faction. The Xiao Clan, Long Baiqi, Dong Min, and Dong Huang’s factions were also bad, as they were from the villain factions.
The correct path was to side with the Imperial Emperor, the Immortal Ji Clan, and the Crescent Lu Clan. And if players could bring the Celestial Fox under their control, everything in the later Chapters would be easier.
In the fourth Chapter, the major event was the Xia Clan’s rebellion. A million immortals and a thousand saints would follow the new protagonist who erges as their leader in the fourth Chapter. In case the other protagonists from earlier Chapters were still alive, they always spearheaded the raid.
In the aftermath, the Imperial Faction, the Lu Clan, and the Immortal Ji Clan would be wiped out. Dong Bai would die at the fourth protagonist’s hands, which would force Lu Liekong’s arcs. The fifth Chapter’s protagonist, Lu Liekong, would go berserk and bla players for failing to protect everybody. Throughout his fight to avenge his comrades, he would also pick a fight with players.
However, if the players quelled the rebellion, Mu Shun would trick Lu Liekong, beginning a new plot in Chapter five, where saints defied Karma and assaulted the immortal realms.
The chains of events always focused on the Imperial Faction. Fu Tong had no choice but to side with them to save his comrades and his won.
anwhile, Dong Bai racked her brain and analyzed Fu Tong’s testimony and claims. She frowned and confird her theories.
"So, Dong Huang, my brother, is siding with the rebels, the Xia Clan, and Demon Lord Mu Shun?"
"Correct."
"What does he gain by doing this?"
"Mu Shun gave him an incomplete Star Eater bloodline pill, but he hasn’t shared the right cultivation thod for the bloodline yet. His Highness Dong Huang will get it after he dethrones His Majesty and becos a puppet for Mu Shun."
"...And how did you get this information? You are just a mortal."
"Abyssal Star Bloodline."
The bloodline held so many anings. Dong Bai’s eyes narrowed as she asked. "What is your relationship with the Ti Sage?"
"A distant relative."
"...That’s good enough."
Dong Bai turned to Lu Potian and passed the fragnts. She ordered the army.
"We’ll be heading ho. Report everything to my father as you heard. Recall Lu Liekong and return him to the intelligence departnt. I want all the details about the Xia Clan, the Xiao Clan, the Starlight Taming Guild, and the Long Clan’s movents!"
"YES, YOUR HIGHNESS!"
Lu Potian cupped his fist and relayed her order. Fu Tong also ordered Lu Liang.
"Go with them. If your buddies aren’t being friendly, let them know you’re representing . Coordinate with them."
"YES, MY LORD!" Lu Liang shouted and puffed his chest.
Dong Bai glanced at Lu Liang’s fanatical gaze toward Fu Tong. Her expression turned to amusent.
"You... Fu Tong. Did you poach one of my n?"
"Our bloodline belongs to the true king. He can’t resist it. Don’t bla him."
"Understandable."
Dong Bai smirked, as she liked Fu Tong’s deanor, confidence, and assertiveness. However, one thing was lacking. She teased him.
"By the way, if you wish to marry , prepare at least a billion karma coins for dowry. I also want ten saint-grade artifacts as wedding gifts."
"How about five billion karma coins and no gift?"
Dong Bai scoffed, "As if you can accumulate that much. The Karmic River only produces a million coins a day, and most saints hog almost everything to themselves. Only about 10,000 karma coins circulate in the immortal realm every day."
Lu Liang and Lu Potian flinched. They glanced at Fu Tong and smiled wryly.
Huli Jiubai, who had been quiet throughout the conversation, finally talked.
"Lord Fu, didn’t you use several billion karma coins to kill Pei Gui Hong?"
"..."
Dong Bai froze. She gave Fu Tong and Huli Jiubai a weird look.
"Don’t lie."
Lu Liang coughed. "It’s the truth."
Lu Potian added. "When I ca here to collect Dong Min’s remains, we sensed at least a million karma coins’ worth of Qi around the battle site. They were all from him, Your Highness."
"..."
Dong Bai returned her gaze to Fu Tong. Curious, she asked.
"How many coins do you have right now?"
"You sure you wanna know?" Fu Tong smirked.
"Try ."
"How about quadrillion?"
It was an understatent, but Fu Tong didn’t like exposing his wealth in public in front of so many immortals.
"Show ." Dong Bai still didn’t believe in him.
Fu Tong turned around and walked away for several steps. He ejected organized stacks of gold coins on the ground, forming a gold wall.
The gold coin wall stretched 500 ters and 100 ters thick. Fu Tong didn’t bother counting them, as he wanted Dong Bai’s cooperation and trust.
He turned around and lightly knocked on the stacks of coins.
"So, believe now?"
Dong Bai stood still, staring at the golden wall in a daze. Her lips trembled. "H-How did you... How could you..."
As lecherous as he was, Fu Tong approached Dong Bai and embraced her waist. He whispered.
"Am I good enough to be your consort yet, Your Highness?"
"..."
Dong Bai gulped. She had t many suitors, but Fu Tong almost managed to move her heart. Unfortunately, he was still weak.
She blushed and pushed him away.
"Y-You’re a hundred years too early to court , mortal! At least, reach the peak immortal stage first, and we’ll talk!"
"Sure."
Fu Tong shrugged and let her go. He didn’t want to tell her that his Qi volu and basic stats had already reached the saint realm. It was a matter of ti before the Imperial Emperor would discover about him.
As Dong Bai was about to leave, she paused and hesitated to ask him a question. Mustering her courage, she expressed her curiosity.
"Were you born with two things... like my brothers?"
Fu Tong flinched. The others also gave him a weird look.
Sensing the stares, Fu Tong coughed and answered in the most believable way possible.
"No, but I can transform into a beast human."
"REALLY?!"
Dong Bai’s face was as red as a tomato. She dashed toward him and grabbed his collar, shaking him.
"CAN YOU TRANSFORM INTO A WEREWOLF?!"
"Er, if you insist."
"SHOW !"
"..."
Sothing was wrong with the princess.
