Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

Chapter 256 Greedy Wolf Star's Face, Yin Manor's Term Approaches, Plan, Long Journey.

"I dare not, I am just delighted,""Yuan Jun's elegance is truly greater than in the past. Lord Tan Lang wouldn't dare to instruct Yuan Jun on what to do." There is an ancient saying in my previous life's Hua country: 'The wise adapt and excel.' Yi Chen decided to endure for a while, and he immediately squeezed out a smile in response.

"Xiao Lang, I love hearing such words from you, it's not in vain that Yuan Jun remembers you during her tasks."

"To have handled Lord Lu Cun's request so beautifully, consider your entrance task passed. It's not in vain that Yuan Jun, despite the pressure, promoted you to the new Lord Tan Lang. That spirit-testing mirror did indeed have a fault. Afterwards, a newcomer arrived, and it seemed to work fine again."

"Continue then, your very own Tan Lang Star Mask. Now, you are truly Lord Tan Lang."

The peach blossom mask formed a slight smile, and a mask depicting a fierce wolf's head was handed over to Yi Chen, "The Tan Lang Star Mask has the ability to resist spiritual probing, shape-shifting, and some capabilities to interfere with divination. Xiao Lang, you seem to be full of schemes, you will definitely find it useful in the future."

Yi Chen couldn't help but admit that Yuan Jun was quite the talker. However, with his meticulous mind, he still felt that beneath Yuan Jun's cheerful and frivolous words lay some deep concerns. He couldn't help but ask,

"Yuan Jun, may I know the purpose of your visit? If there's anything where Tan Lang could be of use, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Haha, you should ask less about Yuan Jun's affairs. You, as you are now, are too weak. Knowing too much will only add to your troubles."

"However, Xiao Lang, I am pleased that you care. Come, let Yuan Jun feel you."

Upon these words, Yi Chen instantly felt that something was not right. In a blink of an eye, an overwhelming pressure squeezed and confined him, as if the surrounding air had turned into iron blocks.

Fortunately, he was cautious at heart. In a moment of urge, he couldn't help but roar inwardly:

"Dominator Body, activate!"

With a tearing sound, like fabric being ripped, that resonated within the room, the Dominator Body was revealed, and Yi Chen immediately felt the pressure around him lessen. Just as he was pleased and thinking of retreating, the situation changed again. Two pale jade hands pressed on his shoulders, and with his current strength, he couldn't break free.

A surprised exclamation came from behind the peach blossom mask.

"Eh, not bad, Xiao Lang. You've improved again, even able to break free from my Mysterious Spirit Silent Spell. Your Cultivation Body is somewhat strange."

"It seems your talents and perception have reached eighty percent of mine."

"But, Xiao Lang, you're a bit naughty. Yuan Jun has many more methods."

Before the words were finished, two more pale arms grew from the sides of Yuan Jun's ribs and reached out to touch the top of Yi Chen's head, tugging at it thrice.

At that moment, Yi Chen's eyes nearly split with rage—such unbearable humiliation.

"Xiao Lang, have you seen Yuan Jun's methods? Still dare to resist? If you can escape from Yuan Jun's palm within two hundred years, no, within a hundred years, I will grant you a request—any request you have, and I won't be joking."

Two more arms sprouted from Yuan Jun's back, and in no time, Yuan Jun seemed like the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, with newly grown arms reaching out to pinch Yi Chen's chest.

"What an interesting Cultivation Body, it can actually neutralize much of my Mysterious Spirit Silent Spell's suppressive force."

"Xiao Lang, if you encounter trouble outside, wear the mask and invoke Yuan Jun's name; it's effective. I'm leaving now, no more playing."

As the voice faded, just as Yi Chen was about to activate the Pure Yang Holy Seal, the figure of the peach blossom mask suddenly transformed into a burst of human-shaped petals. The pink petals seemed to fade in color and swiftly became transparent.

The room was once again empty, leaving only a tall figure cloaked in purple and gold, gasping for breath. His purple pupils emitted a light of rage and astonishment.

Yi Chen dissipated his Dominator Body, poured himself a cup of clear tea and drained it, then fell into deep thought.

"Is this the might of Yuan Jun? Truly unfathomable."

"In two days' time, my left arm will be fully tempered, free from worry. The deity in me will also be fully recovered. It's time to go out in

Lotus City, Changming Street.

They saw that on the street, under the full icy moon, lanterns burned across land and sea, red lotuses filled the sky. A tall, burly man and a woman with a graceful figure walked hand in hand. They guessed lantern riddles, ate snacks, strolling along just like any other couple.

Deep into the night, the lantern fair dispersed, and the people thinned out.

"Ruan'er, what else do you want to do?"

"I hate to part."

"Even in farewell, I still hold affection."

Tear drops, large as beans, fell from Zhen Ruan's eyes.

…

…

The next day, Zhen Ruan was tidying Yi Chen's clothes in front of the bronze mirror with a gentle demeanor.

"Ruan'er, I…."

"Go on, Zhang San. Attend to your own matters. A true man should set out like rivers flowing into the sea, to meet all the heroes of the world. One should have an unyielding resolve, able to cross mountains and seas, and not just circle around little Hehe Mountain."

"I will always wait for you on Hehe Mountain," said Zhen Ruan, pausing between each word, a mist appearing in her eyes.

Yi Chen pulled Zhen Ruan by the shoulders and stared into her eyes.

"Elbow, come with me…."

"What for?"

"To cross mountains and seas~"
