Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

As for who I am!

I don’t mind telling you!

I am a friend of Zhi Can!

Hmph, you brutally murdered Zhi Can. When he fled back then,

he was on the brink of death when he told me everything!

I’ve been watching you for ten years.

Heh heh, this time, you brought this on yourselves!

To think you’d actually find a creature like the Black Flood Dragon!

It gave me the perfect excuse to ask the Buddha’s Head to intervene!

And I took the opportunity to strike and kill that Old Daoist Nun!

Just now, before she died, she was truly pathetic.

I had to cut her so many times before she finally died!

Hahaha!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Lei ignored Hui Cheng’s fury, sped up the Locust Leaf Flying Ship, and flew straight away.

The reason Xu Lei said all this was because he didn’t want Hui Cheng to think he had just stumbled upon them and their business with the Black Flood Dragon by chance.

This way, Hui Cheng wouldn’t direct his rage toward the Mu Prince’s Mansion.

Hui Cheng certainly wouldn’t dare provoke the Buddha’s Head.

The Mu Prince’s Mansion, on the other hand, was a mortal establishment.

Fight against the Prince’s Mansion’s large contingent of Government Soldiers? That would be a pointless waste of Magical Power, not worth it at all.

Kill a few key members of the Prince’s Mansion? If there was a deep-seated grudge, he might do it.

No grudge? Then there was no need.

After all, doing so might truly enrage the powerful figures of the Prince’s Mansion.

They might just throw caution to the wind and send their troops to hunt him down relentlessly.

That would be troublesome even for Hui Cheng.

Xu Lei’s appearance as ’Zhi Can’s friend’ was designed to give Hui Cheng’s boundless rage a target.

Several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.

He had been hiding for a long time.

It wasn’t until just before dawn that Xu Lei finally turned back.

He activated the Bell, dispersing the Human Puppets that were lying prone in the dark corners of the ground.

Hui Cheng had already left.

The Old Daoist Nun’s body had also been taken away.

After all, Xu Lei had blinded one of Hui Cheng’s eyes, and his own injuries were not light.

Naturally, he wasn’t about to hunt down Xu Lei to the death, determined to take him down with him.

Besides, he couldn’t have caught up even if he wanted to.

So all he could do was seethe with impotent rage before leaving.

「Three days later.」

Inside the Mu Prince’s Mansion.

Xu Lei finally stood before the bed of his son, who had been afflicted with the Gu Insect.

That’s right, a full three days had passed since the incident.

Yet Xu Lei still hadn’t removed the Gu Insect from his son.

He wanted to see if Hui Cheng would show up.

But now, it seemed Hui Cheng was completely ignoring the Mu Prince’s Mansion.

After all, the one who had come to deceive the Mu Prince’s Mansion before was the Old Daoist Nun, not Hui Cheng.

Now that the Old Daoist Nun was gone and Hui Cheng had lost an eye, he was probably hiding somewhere, nursing his wounds.

’Where would he find the energy to come here and put on an act or tie up loose ends?’

Xu Lei had held back previously out of caution.

He didn’t want Hui Cheng to arrive only to find that the Crown Prince’s Gu Insect had already been dealt with.

If that happened, Hui Cheng might start to connect the dots.

For example, he might wonder if the Cultivator who was betrayed earlier was connected to the Mu Prince’s Mansion.

BUZZ!

Xu Lei’s Magical Power surged.

PUFF!

A moment later, a black Gu Insect the size of a thumb was extracted from his son’s mouth by Xu Lei’s Magical Power.

"Such a huge Gu Insect!"

Watching from the side, Mu Yao broke out in goosebumps. "That Old Daoist Nun... she really deserved to die!"

"And so she is dead," Xu Lei said. "It’s alright now. This matter should be resolved.

However, our son’s body has definitely been damaged.

His lifespan has also been shortened.

Furthermore, he is no longer fit to be the Crown Prince.

Let’s have another son take his place as Crown Prince.

As for him, we’ll arrange for him to live somewhere else.

Let him live in obscurity under a different name.

Also, have him eat more and put on some weight.

That way, no one else will recognize him and realize he isn’t dead."

"My poor child!"

Mu Yao’s eyes welled with tears. "It was Mother who failed to protect you!"

Her child’s life had been cut short, and now they would be forced to part ways forever.

It was truly a tragedy.

But for safety’s sake, it was the only way.

「Three months later.」

Xu Lei had been staying at the Mu Prince’s Mansion for three months.

On this day, inside the Prince’s Mansion’s Cultivation Room...

BUZZ!

An invisible Magical Power surged around Xu Lei.

’Fourteen Lotus Leaves!’

Xu Lei muttered to himself, ’Those few Dragon Crystals were really useful!

Only three months, and it’s equal to years of my painstaking Cultivation!

But I’m still just a little bit away from the Bodhisattva Tree Realm!

And now, the Dragon Crystals have been completely refined!’

Xu Lei stood up, feeling helpless.

For the past three months, he had been refining the energy of the Dragon Crystals, condensing it into Lotus Leaves one by one.

Now, atop the Lotus Platform within his body, there were fourteen Lotus Leaves.

They formed a unique energy field, causing the Bodhi Embryo in the center to develop.

A tiny sprout had emerged!

This meant he was very close to the next Realm, the Bodhisattva Tree Realm!

A few hours later, Xu Lei summoned all his women in the Prince’s Mansion, except for Chun Hua and Qiuyue.

By this point, every single one of them had once again become pregnant through Xu Lei’s Charitable Giving.

Naturally, Xu Lei was bidding them farewell.

He couldn’t stay at the Prince’s Mansion forever.

Although the women were reluctant to see him go, they wouldn’t force him to stay.

After all, Xu Lei was merely bestowing his grace in the name of the Buddha through Charitable Giving.

Their husband in name was still the Prince, Mu Yao.

「Twenty days later.」

Xu Lei arrived at Longyuan Temple once again.

This was the temple where he had stayed in his previous life, right after he first transmigrated.

The Longyuan Temple of today had become a massive monastery.

And its incense was burning brightly, a sign of its great prosperity.

There was even a dedicated statue of Divine Monk Wu Tan.

Many Devotees who came here would press their palms together and bow in worship.

After all, he was a figure who had made significant contributions to the founding of the Dynasty over a hundred years ago.

The Dynasty had promoted him enough that this was the natural response from the people.

During these twenty days, Xu Lei had, of course, also seen his other women, such as Shen Ling’er, Xu Yan’er, Su Chun, and Yiyi.

They were all pregnant.

He had spent some time with them before coming to Longyuan Temple.
