Chapter 35 A Strange Impulse

That "oh" was ordinary, but quite abrupt in the moment.

Like a discordant note in a string performance—not loud, but still jarring and noticeable.

Kua E Liuyue's movements faltered slightly.

Kua Lin's almond-shaped eyes turned to the Celestial Maiden, a smile playing on her lips:

"Does the Celestial Maiden recognize this object?"

Jue said calmly, "I recognize its owner."

She paused, adding plainly, "He and I happen to be friends."

Kua Lin's almond eyes flickered. "Friends?"

"Since you're a Celestial Maiden, you must have known him since ancient times, recognizing his original form."

"Naturally. And how good a friend are you to him, General Kua Lin?"

"The best, of course."

"Then, esteemed Celestial Maiden..."

Smiling and gentle.

Auspicious and beautiful.

A harmonious atmosphere, almost picturesque.

Kua E Liuyue's hands stiffened, afraid to breathe. She could sense her ancestor's current state. Then, Kua Lin sat back in her seat, calmly looked at the Celestial Maiden, and suddenly smiled, "Since you're friends, then the Celestial Maiden should be happy for her friend to meet other friends, right?"

The Celestial Maiden paused, seriously considered, and then slowly nodded.

"Indeed..."

Kua Lin asked again, "And as a friend, you shouldn't stop your friend from having other friends, right?"

Jue thoughtfully considered, her face elegant, and nodded. "That's right."

Kua Lin's lips curled slightly, and she said, "Since you both know Yuan, we can be considered acquainted."

"My body is fine; there's no need to trouble the Celestial Maiden today."

"Liuyue, see our guest out."

After the Celestial Maiden left, Kua Lin rubbed her temples, mocking herself, "To exploit the naivety of the Kunlun lineage for such a purpose is rather base..." She looked at the jade talisman in her hand, slowly closed her fist around it. "But all's fair in war; an exception can be made."

"Liuyue, prepare things."

"I need to bathe and change."

"Yes."

...

Qinyuan, dressed in a set of women's martial attire, returned to her residence.

While Jue was taken away for treatment, she couldn't resist the boredom and slipped out for a stroll.

After various observations, Qinyuan discovered that the overseas nations of the Shan Hai World, represented by the Kingdom of Women, possessed no small amount of power. Through magic, their lives were no less convenient than those in the modern human world; in some ways, they even surpassed it.

After all, flying cars only existed in science fiction novels, but flying demons and beasts were a dime a dozen in the Shan Hai World.

And in terms of keeping food warm, magic was also very convenient.

In addition, a basic Gu technique could completely eradicate mosquitoes and cockroaches, and could also be used to cultivate basic Gu. So here, many insects had to be bought. If these Gu masters were introduced to the human world, especially Guangdong, seeing the cockroaches there, the Gu masters who desperately sought a single insect would probably look up to the sky and wail, speechless and choked with sobs, and would definitely be willing to guarantee free work.

That way, they could charge fees on both sides.

Both sides would thank this bee.

The human world would gain peace, the Gu masters would gain insects, and this bee would gain money.

Everyone would have a bright future.

Qinyuan's mental abacus clicked and clacked.

Moral character?

Huh?

What was that?

Where did you think her 59 points in moral character came from?

This bee was going to become a capitalist bee.

Also, while life was convenient, entertainment and ideas were far behind.

This was a huge market gap, which could be filled by importing large quantities of novels, comics, and movies.

And all sorts of games.

A corresponding commercial aid could be carried out.

Suggestions...

Before Qinyuan realized it, she had successfully used the Kingdom of Women's writing tools to produce a 13,000-word market research report that met the standards for assignments, and had even written down her own ideas, fully conforming to the specifications of an essay. Of course, if she submitted it, she would definitely still fail.

The demon beast's lips twitched, and she slammed the pen on the ground, stomped on it, and gritted her teeth.

"Damn old baldy..."

"I'm not your student anymore, why do I still have to do this kind of research report?"

"Damn 'Marketing' open course!"

"Forget it. When I return to the human world, I'll bring the fierce beasts here. Anyway, Wohu only said I wasn't allowed to smuggle myself into the human world; he didn't say I wasn't allowed to smuggle myself from the human world into the Kingdom of Women. Then I'll register a new company, become CEO, and reach the pinnacle of bee-dom..."

"Damn Wohu, you can't stop me, hmph hmph hmph!"

Qinyuan happily poured herself a drink.

At this moment, with a bang, the door was pushed open. For some reason, Qinyuan was startled. She turned around and saw that it was Jue, who had been invited out by the Kua E clan. The girl was dressed in the attire of the Kingdom of Women, which added a bit of heroic spirit to her originally gentle and refined temperament.

For some reason, Qinyuan felt that her instincts as a demon beast of the insect clan made her brow throb.

She put the drink on the table.

Hastily went up to greet her:

"Celestial Maiden, you're back? How was it? With you on the scene, the patient must have been cured, right?"

"She must be very grateful to you."

The air pressure seemed a little low.

The corners of Qinyuan's mouth twitched.

Did she say something wrong again?

It shouldn't be...

I have such high EQ.

Jue sat down, her voice soft, her temperament as gentle and harmonious as ever, as a Celestial Maiden of Kunlun Mountain should be. She replied, "That General Kua Lin didn't suffer too serious injuries. Yuan must have healed her, and even gave her a jade talisman."

Yuan?

As an insect-type demon beast, Qinyuan quickly sensed the problem.

Then, as a bee who was always a bee, she asked the standard lines of a straight man.

"Are you angry?"

"No, I'm not."

The Celestial Maiden looked up, a trace of bewilderment between her brows. Qinyuan instinctively judged that this was her true thought. Jue raised her hand to tidy up the strands of hair falling from her temples, her voice calm and gentle.

"General Kua Lin is Yuan's friend, which is normal. Yuan and I are also friends. As a friend, how could I be angry because he has new friends that I don't know, and even gave that friend a gift? That wouldn't be proper."

The spine of a certain insect demon beast trembled.

Her instincts told her that the girl in front of her was not lying.

This was her true thought.

But the insect clan's desire for survival told her...

Run!

"Right, I got a little thirsty on the way back."

"Did you prepare this for me?"

The Celestial Maiden saw the cup on the table, with a sweet fragrance in the air. She reached out and took the cup. Qinyuan was still in a daze when she saw the girl's action. She subconsciously stretched out her right hand and shouted, "Wait, Celestial Maiden, that's honey..."

The girl took a big gulp.

Hearing Qinyuan's words, her movements paused, her cheeks bulging slightly.

Then...

She gulped it down.

And at this moment, Qinyuan's last word fell.

"Wine."

She watched as the Celestial Maiden's cheeks flushed red, and a layer of mist visibly covered her originally clear eyes. Then she let out a small hiccup, tilted her head, and Qinyuan nervously snatched the wine away, then squatted in front of the Celestial Maiden and reached out to wave her hand. "Hey? Celestial Maiden, do you still recognize me?"

"Qinyuan...?"

Qinyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."

Then she heard the Celestial Maiden say, "Why do you have two heads?"

The smile on Qinyuan's face froze. "Crap, the drunk ball dropped."

She frantically wanted to find hangover soup, and suddenly thought of something. Her movements paused. Now that the Celestial Maiden was drunk, she just needed to get the correct answers to what happened today from her, so that she wouldn't say the wrong thing later. After thinking about it, Qinyuan leaned slightly, and asked curiously, "Celestial Maiden, aren't you angry today?"

"Angry? No, I'm not..."

The Celestial Maiden sat obediently on the chair, her body swaying slightly.

"Why should I be angry?"

Her eyes were clear, making Qinyuan, who scored 59 in moral character, feel ashamed.

Qinyuan shrank her neck and said, "Look, today's matter..."

Jue's voice was gentle and peaceful, comforting Qinyuan in return:

"Yes, she's Yuan's friend, and I'm also Yuan's friend. I have no right to force him to cut off his social life and not allow him to have other friends, right? That completely exceeds the position of a friend. It's just that, for some reason, a very strange impulsive thought emerged in my mind at that time..."

"So I'm a little troubled."

The girl's explanation made Qinyuan feel regret and emotion.

What was she expecting...

This was a Celestial Maiden, the Kunlun Immortal who upheld the wind, who would not stay in one place and treated all living beings equally. She sighed, and gazed at the girl with the eyes of a Western believer looking at a saint, and asked, "What did you think of?"

The Celestial Maiden swayed and murmured, "I don't know why."

"I suddenly wanted to take Yuan to Kunlun Mountain."

Qinyuan nodded. "Mm-hmm, take him to the mountain."

"And then throw him down."

"Mm, and then... Huh?!"

Qinyuan's smile froze.

Qinyuan stood up abruptly, dumbfounded.

"This, this, this..."

"You're really angry!"

And in the next moment, Qinyuan realized the reason why this emotion appeared on the Celestial Maiden, and gasped, "Possessiveness?"

"Are you having some kind of problem? You're a Celestial Maiden."

"You're the wind..."

The Celestial Maiden murmured, "Although I know it won't do him any good, I just want to do it once."

Hearing this, she looked up, her face full of confusion.

Qinyuan stammered, "Calm down, calm down, Celestial Maiden. That person should still be quite important to you. By the way, speaking of which, who is Yuan?"

The Celestial Maiden thought for a moment, and said, "In modern terms... Wohu?"

Qinyuan's face froze.

She stepped forward, grasped the Celestial Maiden's hands with both hands, and said solemnly:

"Don't worry, Jue, you must throw him down from Kunlun Mountain!"

"I will help you!"

"But don't you not want to go back to the human world?"

"For your wish, I can give up my wish!"

"Wohu must die!"

...

Kingdom of Women, core area of the capital.

Kua Lin, dressed in black clothes and a red robe, with her black hair tied into a high ponytail with a golden ring, sat behind her desk, resolving the problems that had accumulated over this period of time, and finally said, "By the way, prepare to re-sign the alliance with the Yan Huang Tribe, and mention it to the Queen."

Kua E Liuyue said, "Understood."

She paused, and said, "Are there envoys from the Yan Huang Clan coming?"

Kua Lin thought for a moment, and said, "No."

She smiled and said, "In a while, we will send someone."

The heroic female general stood up, her bare feet stepping on the ground, the red robe like smoke and mist. "Go with the highest envoy specifications, leading three thousand armored cultivators, riding dragons and controlling tigers, and if the Yan Huang Tribe meets the requirements, we can assist them in completing the overseas nations alliance."

"Conditions?"

"Mm."

She raised her hand to take off the golden ring, her long hair falling down. The female general turned around and smiled.

Her eyebrows were radiant, bright and generous.

"Tie up Tu Shan Yuan."

"Send him to my bed!"
