Happy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye another month has passed.

In mid-March 1991, Cheng Long, who had just returned to Hong Kong for two days, personally drove his cousin to campus, then returned home, starting a new round of dimension-traveling journey.

Having traveled through time more than ten times, Cheng Long has considerable experience. As soon as he landed, he began to sense his surroundings.

This time, it was obviously different from the past. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was very rich. Even his true immortal consciousness, within less than thirty miles, sensed the existence of a person whose cultivation level was far higher than his.

"Oh my goodness, what kind of world is this? How can a random town be home to a Golden Immortal, or even an immortal higher than a Golden Immortal?"

Cheng Long sighed with lingering fear.

Just now, during his investigation, the female fairy who lived thirty miles away sensed his surveillance and released a spiritual sense far superior to his own. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have suffered the counterattack from her.

Of course, even if you are stubborn and not easily backfired upon, the other party will still be able to trace you back through the Internet.

"But then again, the fairy living in the small courtyard is really good-looking, like Bai Jie, and has a good temperament! It's strange! Why does she live with mortals for no reason, and have three children..."

"Wait, three kids?"

"There seems to be a stone tablet outside the town, with three big characters written on it: Guanjiangkou!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Long understood everything in an instant. The fairy lady he had just discovered was none other than the mother of Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan.

Yao Ji!

The eldest princess of the heaven, the sister of the Jade Emperor, in charge of the world of desire. The owner of the heavenly eye, she rebuked Marshal Tianpeng for his lustful thoughts when she first appeared in "The Legend of the Prequel to the Lotus Lantern", showing her upright and majestic side as a goddess.

"It turned out to be her! No wonder she looked familiar the first time I saw her. It turns out she is the mother of Second Brother Yang!" When he thought of the identity of Princess Yao Ji and Erlang's mother, the soul of Cao the thief in Mr. Cheng's body could not help burning.

Why couldn’t it have come ten or twenty years earlier?

Damn it, I missed a great opportunity to snatch the prize.

He was not a mortal, so there was no such thing as love between immortal and mortal. In other words, if Yao Ji married him, it would not matter even if the Jade Emperor found out, and there would be no mention of suppressing Taoshan.

This is a great thing for Yao Ji.

It’s a pity that I came more than ten years late.

"No matter what, we have to go to Guanjiangkou. Even if we can't become Cao thieves, it would be great to meet the young Yang Erlang and San Shengmu."

Thinking of this, Cheng Long immediately appeared in the woods near Guanjiangkou, then changed into a tailor-made ancient costume and walked into a dental clinic with a graceful step.

In the old days, a "yahang" was a business, store, or warehouse that provided business premises, assisted buyers and sellers in completing transactions, and earned commissions from them.

Since Cheng Long planned to settle down in Guanjiangkou, it was impossible for him to live in the restaurant all the time. What's more, he also wanted to buy a house near Yang's house and be neighbors with Yao Ji.

Now Yao Ji's three children are still young, and it will take some time before the truth is revealed. He has every chance to make friends with Yang Erlang and San Sheng Mu. After all, these two will become disciples of Kunlun Yuxu Zhenren and Nuwa Niangniang in the future, and they will have great potential in the future.

Only Yang Jiao would die under the pursuit of Heaven.

Among the three demigods with outstanding talents, only Yang Jiao died. This made Cheng Long suspect that Yang Jiao's talent might be better than Yang Jian's, which was why he was envied by God and died in disaster in his youth.

The world background of the prequel of The Lotus Lantern is in the Shang Dynasty, and the currency used is still shells.

Cheng Long didn't have this thing. He didn't realize it at first. He only realized the problem when he chose the house he liked and was ready to pay the money and sign the contract.

But it's not a big problem.

Because in the Shang Dynasty, in addition to shell money, jade was also very valuable.

Cheng Long’s storage bar stores a lot of things, including a lot of jade.

He spent an afternoon buying a small courtyard next to the Yang Mansion that had been vacant for many years. That night he set up a stove and cooked fragrant stir-fried dishes.

The food of this period was mostly stewed. It had fragrance, but it was definitely not as fragrant as stir-fried dishes. When the thinly sliced ​​mutton was dipped into the hot oil, the fragrance immediately spread.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Jiao, the oldest and most lively girl, smelled the fragrance coming from next door and immediately raised her nose to sniff.

"It seems to come from next door. Uncle Li's house has been empty for a few years. Who cooks in his house?" Yang Chan was also very tempted by the aroma of stir-fried lamb. The chicken and duck on the table with a slightly fishy smell immediately lost their fragrance.

"Go over and have a look."

Yang Jiao put down her chopsticks, stood up and went to the next room to find out what was going on.

"stop!"

Yao Ji chuckled lightly, and Yang Chan, who was eager to make a move, sat down immediately. Yang Jiao also did not dare to be presumptuous and returned to her seat obediently, while Yang Jian tried to hold back his laughter beside her.

"What are you doing? If someone else cooks delicious food, that's their business. Why are you trying to join in the fun? Do you think my cooking is not tasty enough?"

Yao Ji scolded with a stern face.

She was not unfamiliar with Cheng Long. This guy had spied on her in secret before, and now he moved to live next door. He must have some bad intentions.

She would never let her three children take the risk of going to next door without finding out the truth.

"Mom, I didn't eat any. It was my eldest brother and third sister who were greedy. I ate so deliciously."

Yang Erlang, who has not yet experienced the harsh treatment of society, has a rather eccentric personality. He mocks his eldest brother and third sister without any courtesy at all.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense. It's obviously eldest brother who complains that the food cooked by mother is not as delicious as the one next door. What does it have to do with me?" Yang Chan stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Third sister, you..." Yang Jiao was so angry. My younger sister was obviously greedy too, so why did it become my fault now that mother got angry?

"Alright, alright, don't talk while eating or sleeping, hurry up and eat."

Yang Tianyou smiled and tried to smooth things over, inviting his wife and children to enjoy dinner. Before he met Yao Ji, he was a poor scholar with only a thatched hut at home. Now the house he lives in, the clothes he wears, the food he eats, and even the servants at home are all provided by Yao Ji.

There is no doubt that Yang Tianyou is a gigolo and is the undisputed ancestor of this industry.

Unfortunately, his life was short. When the news that Yao Ji secretly came down to earth to have an affair with someone was discovered, if there was no conspiracy theory, such as Buddhism arranging Bodhisattvas and Arhats to disguise as mortals and deliberately undermine the prestige of heaven, then Yang Tianyou and his offspring Yang Jiao would both die.

……

After meal.

Yao Ji, who was worried, drove the three children into the room to study, then returned to the bedroom and said to Yang Tianyou: "Tianyou, the person who moved next door to our house today may be from heaven. Our affairs will soon be exposed."

"So fast?"

Yang Tianyou frowned, remembering that Yao Ji once said that it would take at least 18 years for the Heavenly Court to discover that Yao Ji had violated the Heavenly Rules and fell in love with a mortal, himself.

Now the eldest son is only fifteen years old, the second son is fourteen years old, and the youngest daughter is only twelve years old. If they are arrested by the Heavenly Court, Chan'er will not even be able to escape. "I'm not sure yet. I'll go and find out his background. If it's true, then I'll..." Yao Ji's eyes flashed with a fierce look. For the sake of her husband and children, even if the person who came was a god recruited by the Heavenly Court, she would kill him.

"No!"

Feeling the murderous aura in his wife's brows, Yang Tianyou hurriedly grabbed her hand and persuaded her: "Yao Ji, you secretly came to the mortal world for me, which is already a serious crime. You must never commit murder again."

"But if I don't kill him, the person who comes will expose my whereabouts, and then both you and your child might be in danger." Yao Ji knew the operating rules of the Heavenly Court very well. Her brother and sister-in-law were the vested interests who maintained the interests of the Heavenly Court. They would never agree to her going down to the mortal world privately and giving birth to three children with outstanding talents.

If this matter is handled lightly, it will inevitably cause others to follow suit.

Inheritance may be dispensable for some innate demon gods, after all, they are born and raised by nature, but the replacement of human relations and the inheritance of offspring are indeed what the human immortals in heaven care about most.

Perhaps most of them had already been married and had children before ascending to heaven, and did not attach much importance to these things, but there were also some people who only cared about becoming immortals in pure cultivation before ascending to heaven.

If these people follow suit, there will be more and more demigods with excellent cultivation talents.

When there are too many people with outstanding talents, it will increase the burden on heaven and earth, resulting in insufficient supply of spiritual energy. Cheng Long believes that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world is extremely rich, but that's because he has never been to the great world.

In fact, in the world of Precious Lotus Lantern, which had experienced the great calamities of dragon and phoenix, the great calamity of demons and witches, and the fate of the world decided by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the abundance of spiritual energy is no longer as high as before.

The upcoming Conferred God Tribulation will trigger another uncontrollable catastrophe...

"That can't affect innocent people. What's more, we don't even know whether the person who comes is a god from heaven or not." Yang Tianyou looked at his wife with a headache. Yao Ji was particularly obedient when they didn't have children. After having a child, she gradually became more and more strong, and now she doesn't even listen to him.

"I'm going to find out his bottom line now."

Yao Ji is a person of action. She does what she says. She pulled out her hand from the man without hesitation, and in front of Yang Tianyou, she teleported directly to the farmyard next door.

At this time, Cheng Long had just prepared dinner.

On the open-air dining table, there were three dishes: stir-fried lamb slices, fried peanuts, and hot and sour cabbage.

"sit."

Cheng Long poured a glass of wine for Yao Ji and motioned for her to sit down.

"Who are you and why did you move here?"

Yao Ji appeared in front of Cheng Long with doubts, holding a magic sword in her right hand and holding it behind her back, ready to attack at any time.

"My surname is Cheng, my given name is Long. I am a free and easy immortal from overseas. I came here just by chance. Fairy, don't be nervous. Try the wine I brew. It tastes quite good."

Cheng Long said as he looked at Yao Ji. She was indeed pretty, but she was still a little bit inferior to Jin Yanzi, the White-haired Witch, Li Yingqi, Mo Chou and others.

The charm of Yao Ji lies mainly in her identity. Once you get her, you will have a strong sense of conquest.

But he was just thinking about it and had no intention of doing it.

As long as you walk upright and sit straight, there is naturally nothing to worry about.

"I do not believe."

Yao Ji's eyes focused, and a golden light suddenly burst out from her forehead.

The third eye that was usually closed, once opened, Cheng Long seemed to be stripped naked in front of her, with no secrets at all.

"...Such a thick golden wheel of merit?"

Yao Ji was stunned. The golden light of merit was as dazzling as the sun. The moment her third eye was opened, she felt that it was about to be blinded.

A Qi cultivator who practices magic skills actually possesses such a thick golden wheel of merit!
This simply subverted her cognition!

"Princess, can we sit down and chat now?"

Cheng Long smiled and extended the invitation again.

With the Golden Wheel of Merit by his side, he does not have to worry about Yao Ji going crazy. In the orthodox mythological world, even saints dare not harm a person who is full of merit.

With the Golden Wheel of Merit, he is comparable to the Human Emperor who has the golden dragon of humanity and destiny protecting him!

"..."

Yao Ji closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time before she said, "Mr. Cheng, how should I address you?"

"Mr. Cheng, that's good enough." Although Cheng Long is a true immortal, he has neither a sect nor an immortal position, so it is more appropriate to call him by the mortal title.

"Mr. Cheng, with your cultivation and merits, if you join the Heavenly Court, you may be able to become one of the Six Imperial Gods. At the very least, you can become a Star Lord and obtain a divine position."

Yao Ji's words reminded Cheng Long that Yang Jian and Yang Chan had not yet become apprentices, which meant that the great calamity of the Conferred Gods had not yet begun, and there was a huge gap in the establishment of the Heavenly Court.

Among the Three Pure Ones and Six Emperors, there are four vacancies, including the Southern Emperor of Longevity, the Northern Emperor of Purple Star, the Eastern Emperor of Qinghua, and the Western Emperor of Taiji.

Although his cultivation level is not high, his merits are enough to take the throne.

Moreover, judging from the final result of the List of Gods, when it comes to being conferred a title of god, the key point is not the level of one’s cultivation, but rather a person’s fate and background.

Bo Yikao, who was chopped into meat sauce in the early days of Conferred Gods, became an emperor by relying on his natural Ziwei destiny.

There are three emperors who became the Six Imperial Emperors by virtue of their background, namely, the Southern Divine Emperor Nan Ji Xian Weng, the Eastern Qinghua Emperor Tai Yi Zhenren, and the Gou Chen Emperor Lei Peng, who has a relatively special identity.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Nanji Xianweng are from the same school, and both have Yuanshi Tianzun as their backers. As for the last Lei Peng, it is difficult to say who he relies on.

Bo Yikao and Lei Peng were both able to become great emperors. Cheng Long’s golden wheel of merit is so thick and bright, there is no reason why he cannot become a great emperor.

The Conferred God Ceremony has not yet begun, and this is a great time to take the initiative to submit to the Heavenly Court, as there are many good positions waiting for him to choose from.

But there is no need to rush. It will not be too late to go to the Heavenly Palace after Yang Erlang and Yang Chan have successfully become disciples. After all, there is still some time before they can be deified.

"Princess, I will go to heaven when I have time, but now I just want to find a quiet place to experience the world." Cheng Long replied with a smile.

"It is Yaoji's luck to be a neighbor of the future emperor."

Yao Ji only had doubts at this time, not any dissatisfaction. An immortal with great merits of saving the world would be a guest of honor no matter where he was.

"Hahaha, Princess, you're too kind. Eat your food."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Yao Ji let down her guard, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of stir-fried lamb. The fresh, spicy and spicy taste instantly conquered her taste buds.

This taste is really delicious and makes people linger. (End of this chapter)
