My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 680: Ao Bing’s Killing Intent

Chaoge City, South Continent.

The Heavenly Cycle rotated, and the night sky was filled with stars. When the lanterns were first lit, Di Xin sat on the throne carried by the nine people and left the King’s Hall with a tired expression.

Recently, the rebellion of the vassal states had become more intense. The Shang army was abundant, but there were many hidden dangers.

It was within his expectations that 100 of the 800 vassal states would rebel.

After all, half of the vassal states had already been forced to follow the orders of the kings. They would either continue to submit to my Shang Dynasty or rebel and be beaten into submission by the Shang Dynasty.

The Grand Tutor said to let me temporarily slow down the pressure on the officials of the dynasty to reduce the pressure I’m facing…

The Grand Tutor is too stable and conservative.

Bloodshed is essential during a reform.

Reform and revive.

There were too many problems with the Shang Dynasty today. If he could not cut it down quickly, it would be useless. Instead, it would cause the Shang Dynasty to be held hostage by the dukes. The country would be destroyed for dozens of years.

Now, the reform has begun to take effect. The commercial land was becoming more and more prosperous, and the people had begun to accept and assimilate the slaves. Although there was still a long way to go, just the power of the country was enough to intimidate the masses.

Ji Chang was imprisoned, the Marquis of the South was dead, and the Marquis of the North had been tamed by me. He was only left with the eight hundred vassal states, the huge tree behind his queen, the East Road, and the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family… Hmph!

He claimed to be the ruler of the country and relied on Lu to live well. He secretly supported the small vassal states causing trouble. On the surface, he was kind to me and used this opportunity to immerse himself in the fame that he had achieved.

You want to be an uncrowned king outside of the Shang Dynasty?

Aren’t you underestimating my ambition…

“Your Majesty.”

A soft voice suddenly sounded in front of him, causing Di Xin to turn around in his thoughts.

The carriage had already stopped. Not far ahead, a beautiful woman dressed in luxurious clothes led many of Gong’e’s followers forward. She slowly bowed to Di Xin and said gently, “Your Majesty.”

Di Xin raised his hand and gestured. The throne was slowly lowered.

However, Di Xin sat still and said calmly, “Why is the Queen here?”

The woman was naturally Queen Jiang. Di Xin had already married when he was still an heir.

As if sensing Di Xin’s coldness, the woman sighed faintly and whispered, “Your Majesty, I have already prepared a banquet. I want to invite you to the palace for a chat. Your Majesty, you work hard for the country every day. I don’t know what to do for you. I just want to help you resolve your troubles.”

Di Xin frowned. “I have already made an appointment with a beauty.”

“Your Majesty, isn’t it a little too much for you to favor Sister Daji?” Queen Jiang sighed and said, “You are the ruler of a country and the husband of us sisters. We don’t hope that you can be equally matched, Your Majesty, but we should consider the relationship between husband and wife. Don’t be so cold.

“Today, there are rumors that Noble Consort Su has harmed the King. As the queen, I should remind you about this…”

Di Xin slowly leaned back. His burly figure was trapped in the throne, and his eyes were like two abysses. His left hand supported his cheek and his middle finger on the edge of his bun. Although his voice was light, it revealed an inexplicable dignity.

“Are you teaching me how to be a king?”

Queen Jiang trembled slightly and hurriedly took half a step back. She lowered her head and bowed to Dixin Xin. “Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”

“I’m the king. You’re the queen.”

Di Xin raised his finger. The throne was slowly lifted by the nine strong men and headed towards the deep palace.

Queen Jiang’s figure stood there quietly. Her eyes slowly closed, and her left hand gripped her right hand tightly. Her knuckles were a little white.

Daji!

Just you wait!

…

The Heavenly Courts, the Grand White Palace.

“Senior Brother, have some tea ~”

Ling’e floated over with a teacup in her hand.

It was not easy for the little Longevity Fairy to see Li Changshou moving around outside today. She immediately put on some light makeup and changed into a light green tassel dress. She combed her exquisite cloud-like hair and smiled as she brought the tea over.

With the Chaos Bell’s reminder, she knew that her senior brother was currently arranging the crucial moment of the Great Tribulation. She should not let him worry.

However, from another perspective, when one is tired, it is the easiest for them to get closer to the people around them.

It was her duty to help her senior brother relax, so that he would not see her as only his Junior Sister!

In the straw hut, Li Changshou looked up and smiled at Ling’e. He continued to look at the bronze mirror in front of him.

Ling’e walked closer in confusion. She folded her skirt and tiptoed to her senior brother’s meditation cushion to look at the image in the bronze mirror.

It was a backyard. There was a beautiful child dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts with two bun-like hair. He was slowly stretching.

“Little Nezha is so big?”

Ling’e praised softly and immediately forgot her solemn mission when she arrived.

“It’s only been a few years, but you’re already acting like an adult!”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said warmly, “Do you like boys or girls?”

“Boys. They’re strong-minded, but girls are quite good. She can dress up in all kinds of ways… Ah!”

Ling’e could not help but bite her lips softly. She chided softly, “Why did you start talking about that when I was not paying attention? I will eventually feel embarrassed.”

Li Changshou could not help but smile. He picked up a cup of cold tea and took a sip. It was surprisingly sweet.

“Senior Brother, how’s Nezha’s baneful aura?”

“He can now control the baneful aura through his emotions and subconsciousness. He’s not far from completely controlling his own baneful aura.” Li Changshou paused and smiled while shaking his head.

Li Changshou said warmly, “If Nezha unleashes all his malevolent aura now, he will no longer be an ordinary Golden Immortal. Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a little too rushed. Although he has the accumulation of spiritual pearls during the period and the endless spiritual energy that I provided for him when he was pregnant, I believe that there is the Heavenly Dao behind it.”

Ling’e was speechless.

“Can you mention the Heavenly Dao now? Senior Brother, when did your personality change?”

“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Before we became immortals, we thought about how to survive. Naturally, we have to face the crisis of survival every day. We thought about how unlucky we would be if we were accidentally killed by a mighty figure. At that time, being cautious and not participating in any karma was the most stable path. I had the ability to settle down step by step. I was thorough in everything, accepted the orders of the Heavenly Dao, and pushed down the power of the Heavenly Courts. I allowed myself to be in the waves of the Heavenly Courts. That was the most stable path. Now, the Heavenly Dao was disregarding everything in order to promote the Great Tribulation. In order to protect the original path of the Great Tribulation, it directly interfered with the matter of the Human Emperor. I have to make my stand clear. I have to use the name of balance to condense the will of the human race and express my strength to the Heavenly Dao. Under the premise that the Heavenly Dao cannot kill me, I have to protect you. This is the most stable path now. Silly girl, everything is constantly changing. Be it too conservative or too unrestrained, it’s a path to death. Only by following the appropriate timing can we escape from this chessboard.”

Ling’e blinked. She did not understand why.

Her realm was indeed not high enough.

“Alright, watch here.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ll shift my attention to the paper effigy. This little general is going out to patrol the law and order again.”

Ling’e chuckled and took the initiative to lean over and hold Li Changshou’s arm.

He did not have to worry about being too shy while his senior brother was distracted.

In the bronze mirror, Little Nezha was about to leave when a familiar figure appeared behind him. It was naturally the high-ranking servant, Wang Changan.

The mirror surface of the bronze mirror trembled slightly. A high-level conversation sounded.

“Third Young Master, where are you going today?”

“I’m just strolling around.”

Little Nezha said in an old tone and stretched. The copper bracelet and golden bracelet in his hand emitted a few clear sounds of collision. Some spiritual light emerged.

After saying that, he placed his hands behind his back and puffed out his chest. He walked in a dignified manner.

At that moment, a voice sounded from the backyard.

“Don’t play too late!”

Little Nezha immediately shrank his neck and turned his head to shout, “I know! Mother!”

Then, he walked away quickly. He felt embarrassed.

Li Changshou followed behind with a smile. He held a bag of gold and silver in his hand to prevent Nezha from accidentally tearing down the house and walls and compensating the mortals in time.

Previously, Lady Yin had already stopped him from spending large amounts of money, although Li Changshou wanted to say…

‘It’s not like I’m spending the money of the military headquarters!’

Calm down, calm down. Lady Yin is also afraid that Nezha would be led astray.

Not long after he left, everyone greeted Little Nezha who nodded in a mature manner and walked around like a dignified official of Chentang Pass. Everyone looked at him in admiration.

When the people in the city saw Little Nezha, it was as if they had seen a lucky star. They could not wait to hug him.

It was not for gold, silver, or wealth. It was mainly because he wanted to get lucky.

When they arrived in the East City, Nezha waved his hand. Li Changshou threw a few pieces of gold and silver to the teahouse that Nezha frequented. The shop assistant would shout that the tea today would be paid by Third Young Master!

When he arrived in West City, two rows of young people stood side by side on the street. They raised their heads and puffed out their chests as they accepted Little Nezha’s inspection.

The young men, who were originally idling around, were all turned into reserve troops of the Chentang Pass.

A woman called Nezha over to eat some candied plums. An old man smiled and said that he wanted to teach Nezha a poem. Little Nezha ran past with a smile and did not say anything. However, he did not make others feel rude.

As he strolled, Nezha walked out of the eastern city gate of Chentang Pass. He stretched his back and stretched his muscles. He muttered softly, “Uncle Chang’an, I’ll find a place to play. I’ll come back before the sky turns dark. Don’t sue my mother! I’m out of the city!”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Alright, go ahead. As long as you don’t fight with others, I’ll explain to Madam.”

“Yes!”

Little Nezha gave him a thumbs-up and stomped his feet. His body flew up like an arrow that had left the bow. In a few leaps, he had already jumped into the continuous forest.

He did not know if he would carry back a bear or a long worm today.

Li Changshou greeted the soldiers of the city gate familiarly. Then, he walked to his usual spot. Under the fawning smiles of the guards, he sat on the reclining chair in the shade and picked up the Yixing clay teapot that had been sent over.

As an immortal, he had become the ordinary Second Heavenly Emperor in the eyes of others.

As a servant, he had to be the ordinary Second Master in the eyes of others.

What are the evil forces of Chentang Pass?

“Pfft, ahem! Ahem!”

Li Changshou suddenly choked on his tea because his immortal senses had captured a figure flying out of the waves at the edge of the East Ocean. With a faint smile on his lips, he walked towards the forest not far away and searched for his “prey” today.

What?

Are you really that stubborn?

Last month, he had just been beaten up by Little Nezha. At that moment, he still did not change.

The coastline in the east of the South Continent is so long and huge. Is this dragon’s brain muddled? Doesn’t it know how to pick flowers in another place?

If the Heavenly Dao did not push it, Li Changshou would not believe it even if he beat Maitreya to death!

Ao Bing was strolling in the mountains. His immortal senses swept across the various villages. He then looked at the place where the demons were gathered and wanted to experience life in the demons.

Although the seafood was fresh, the delicacies were also delicious.

Unfortunately, he could not enter the bustling city of the human race. The young lady there was…

“Long Worm! How dare you come!”

A cold shout suddenly sounded beside his ear. Ao Bing subconsciously trembled a few times and turned to look at the source of the voice. His originally handsome face instantly turned pale.

In the forest, on the treetops, Little Nezha was stepping on a leaf and hugging his arms. Bright red long streamers floated around him, and his face was filled with anger.

“It’s you again!”

Ao Bing gritted his teeth and cursed, “Little brat, how dare you bully me multiple times!?!”

Nezha tilted his head. “You snatched someone else’s wife.”

“You’re the one who’s snatching other people’s wives! I’m looking for single women.”

“You snatched someone else’s wife in advance.”

“Pui! Get lost! I can’t explain it to you!”

Ao Bing waved his hand and a whirlwind blew at Nezha.

The corners of Nezha’s mouth twitched. He pointed his white and tender fingers at Ao Bing. The Heavenly Silk of Chaos behind him tore through the sky and turned into a beam of light that shot at Ao Bing. It severed the whirlwind!

Ao Bing turned around and fled when he saw that. He had already experienced the power of the Heavenly Silk of Chaos a few times.

However, he was too slow. Just as he was about to transform into his dragon form, he was caught up by the Heavenly Silk of Confusion. In no time, he was tied up like a dumpling and dragged back to Nezha. He hung upside down on the tree crown.

Nezha hugged his arms and raised his head proudly.

“You, you!”

Ao Bing was so angry that his body trembled. He cursed, “You are using this Dharma treasure to bully others. Let me tell you! Don’t think that I don’t know your background. Aren’t you just relying on Taibai Jinxing to support you!? I’ll tell you clearly today. My father is the Dragon King of the East Ocean!”

Nezha blinked as if he was asking who the Dragon King of the East Ocean was and who Taibai Jinxing was. Then, he pursed his lips and his eyes were filled with pride.

“Chentang Pass is my territory. My mother said that I can only marry one wife in the future.”

“My father is the Dragon King of the East Ocean!”

Little Nezha hugged his arms and slowly raised his right foot. His eyes were filled with light.

Ao Bing glared at Nezha and recalled the outcome of being kicked away the previous few times. His eyes were filled with panic. He pretended to be fierce but he was weak inside. He cursed, “Father!”

Bang!

The moment Nezha’s feet landed on Ao Bing’s abdomen, the Heavenly Network happened to remove its restrictions. Ao Bing grunted and his body turned into a shooting star in the sky…

“Hmph.” Little Nezha clapped his hands and jumped into the distance. His eyes were filled with pride.

The Third Young Master of the military headquarters was responsible for maintaining the security of Chen Tang and eliminating the perverts!

My father is the tyrant of Chentang Pass!

“Yes?”

In the backyard of the Li Residence, Li Jing, who had just returned, touched his nose and resisted the urge to sneeze. Seeing that the residence was rather quiet, he knew that Nezha was not in the residence.

He scanned with his immortal senses and discovered the high-ranking servants resting at the city tower. He was naturally relieved and did not care about Nezha’s whereabouts.

…

“I’m so angry! Ahem, ahem! I’m so angry!”

In a relatively remote hall in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Bing was stomping his feet and cursing. A few guards and two rows of sea maidens lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound, afraid that he would vent his anger on them.

What kind of logic is that?

Is the reputation of the dragon race not good?

That bastard, Nezha, relied on the fact that he was Perfected Taiyi’s disciple and that his godfather was Taibai Jinxing, he was so arrogant and domineering! He controlled the world!

Half a scale on his dragon body violated the heavenly rules?

Ugh!

Little hero, just a brat!

If not for the fact that the Dragon King bloodline in his body was too thin, Nezha would not get to be so smug!

“Your Highness,” a guard asked carefully, “your injuries…”

“Am I injured?”

Ao Bing puffed out his chest and looked up. He endured the pain from the kick and cursed, “I’m just letting that brat pull a few moves! If I reveal my main body, I won’t be afraid of him! Hmph! I’m relying on my father’s protection. I’m unreasonable! Damn it! Damn it!”

A guard whispered, “Your Highness, why don’t you report this matter to His Majesty…”

Ao Bing instantly calmed down when he heard that. He smiled awkwardly and turned around to walk to his shell-shaped bed.

He was not favored or important to his father.

Even after what he had done today, he would not reprimand him for being so unrestrained.

In his father’s heart, only his Second Brother who was a Heavenly Courts warrior was his true son.

On the soft mattress, Ao Bing closed his eyes with a cold expression. He waved his sleeve impatiently, and the two rows of Sea Maidens and guards lowered their heads and retreated.

Why does Nezha have so many Dharma treasures and love?

Chan School, the Grand White Palace, and the human race had suppressed him, the Dragon Prince.

Why…

Why?

Why?!

Ao Bing opened his eyes. Two balls of flames suddenly burned in his eyes.

He sat up and placed his hands in his long hair. He touched a pair of horns that were slowly growing out, and the light in his eyes was extremely cold.

I got it.

Father, I’ll let you open your eyes and take a look. Even if my bloodline power is far inferior to Second Brother’s, I can still take charge!

“Guards! Pass the message to the Sea Patrol!”
