w.a.n.g Wei lay in bed with his favorite wife. Of course, he would never describe her with the word "favorite," fearing she would ask him if he had others that were not his favorite.
He did not know he was so close to being killed after surviving the hooded man's catastrophe, nor did he sense his Karma Debt had increased; he was simply enjoying some time with his wife.
As they were both reading a novel, w.a.n.g Wei suddenly said: "I just had a great idea."
"What is it?"
"Why don't you change your hair color to match mine? I think we would look good with gray hair."
"No," replied Wu Hong casually.
"Why not?"
"I like my hair color."
"But we would look so cool if we match."
"In that case, why don't you turn your hair black?"
"No, thank you. I like my current image and don't want to change it."
"That's what I thought."
w.a.n.g Wei shook his head before continuing to read. Then, he suddenly remembered something. "I got a gift for you, but I don't want to give it to you."
"Why?"
w.a.n.g Wei took out something from his s.p.a.ce ring.
"Red-bottom heels?" commented Wu Hong.
"Yes. I made these ones, especially for you. But then, I feel it would be a crime to cage those beautiful feet and toes."
"I would not expect less from someone with a foot fetish," she replied as she took one shoe and tried it on.
"Fetish has such a bad stigma to it. So, let's called it appreciation." Despite saying these words, he could not remove his eyes from her long legs; he liked how the shoe perfectly fit with her feet and accentuated her modelesque legs, making them more attractive.
"Do you want to model for me?" he asked.
"Sure, why not."
w.a.n.g Wei immediately created a small world before controlling the fate of that world to evolve into something he desired, which was a Model Runway. He had the chairs, cameras, and everything. Of course, he had to make their illusions since he feared alerting Grand Dao because they were a product of science and technology.
Wu Hong modeled for him, changing outfits and using different types of heels. w.a.n.g Wei took pictures and saved them through a magical artifact. Then, it was his turn to model for her.
"This was fun," she commented as they returned to their bed.
"Indeed," replied w.a.n.g Wei as he watched her remove them, conflicted about whether he wanted them on or off. He felt it was a curse for his wife to be so beautiful.
"Are you going to do something with them?"
"Yes. I'm going to start a cultural revolution by selling them."
"That's a good idea. Many women will be interested in buying if you refine them as magical artifacts," she replied before suddenly stopping and giggling.
"What's funny?"
"I just imagined people like Huo Fenghuang, Zhen Biyu, and Mo Xingyun fighting in the Heaven Will Battle with heels on."
"That's one of the reasons I'm doing this. I figured although there would be no merit for such an invention, I could gather some luck if they became popular enough. Plus, molding the world as I see fit is really fun."
"Regn in your G.o.d Complex," added Wu Hong before continuing her reading
"G.o.d wishes he was me," sneered w.a.n.g Wei as he took a back to read as well. "Wait, I have something I've always wanted to ask, but it always slipped my mind."
"What is it this time?"
"Why did you appear in the l.u.s.t Part of my PaG.o.da Trial?" He always remembered the anomaly that happened during that trial, where he saw Wu Hong's face, and she betrayed him. He knew she was responsible for the anomaly as it was easy with her power, but he never understood why.
"I wanted to significantly impact you and prevent you from pursuing others. Unfortunately, my plan was not hundred percent successful since you're a man-wh.o.r.e and slept with other women."
"First of all, this kind of tactic is very manipulative and should not be used. Secondly, how am I on a man-wh.o.r.e? I'd only slept with two people before I met you," he reb.u.t.ted with fake outrage.
"You couldn't keep it in your pants, so you're a man-wh.o.r.e."
"The first time was not even my fault; it was my mother's insistence. As for the second time." w.a.n.g Wei remembered his pa.s.sionate night with Dong Lifen. "Why should I turn down a beautiful woman who wanted to get me, no strings attached?"
"It's called sticking to your ideals and self-control. Since you don't have both, you're a man-wh.o.r.e," she replied casually.
"But, I'm a modern man. You can't expect me to see things the same way as these ancient people."
"You are mistaken If you think you're any different than them. Regarding s.e.x, all men across the entire Chaos Universe are the same."
"Whatever. I won't argue with you."
"Cause you know I'm right."
w.a.n.g Wei did not answer and continued reading his book and caressing her hair. He enjoyed these peaceful and calm times.
"What are you going to do now that the trial is finished? Any big plans."
"A few. Two, to be exact."
"Which are?"
"The first one involved hunting. I need to get rid of some things I feel are destabilizing to the overall situation. As for the second . . ."
w.a.n.g Wei stopped and raised his head from his book. "I just divine someone is coming to see me. And it's good news."
"That's good, I guess."
A few hours later, w.a.n.g Wei received a request for visitation, and he agreed. The next day, he went to Tianwei Peak to meet his guest. He saw two women, one young and the other middle-aged.
"Lady s.h.i.+ Qian, it's good to see you." w.a.n.g Wei did his duty as host and offered tea and snacks.
"Sect Master w.a.n.g Wei, I will be direct. I came here to make a deal with you."
"You want the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art?"
"Yes."
"Sure. I'm open to exchanging–as long as the price pleases me."
s.h.i.+ Qian was slightly surprised as she did not expect things to proceed so smoothly. Nevertheless, it was a good thing for her.
"I'm willing to - -"
"Before we exchange anything, I would like to know the limitations of the scripture," said the middle-aged woman, who w.a.n.g Wei guessed was s.h.i.+ Qian's mother because of their resemblance.
He looked at her, then back at s.h.i.+ Qian.
"I see. You are facing an opponent that is a reincarnated Dao Ancestor. And the only for you to win the Heaven Will Battle is to deceive Heavenly Dao that you are an Emperor Child, therefore use your one attack to defeat the enemy."
s.h.i.+ Qian and her mother's hearts skipped a beat as they felt all their thoughts and secrets were seen through. So, they immediately became on guard.
w.a.n.g Wei did not care about their reactions. Reading people's Fate Line when they are in his territory is a thousand times easier.
"The scripture can indeed do so since you are an Immortal Child. However, for you to skill becoming a Dao Child and become an Emperor Child will not be easy."
s.h.i.+ Qin became relieved but did not know how to proceed. So, she glanced at her mom, to which the latter just nodded. She took a deep breath to calm down before continuing the conversation.
"In that case, I offer more opportunities to wash away Karma for your sect's people. As members of the Light Race, was.h.i.+ng Karma is easier for us after proving the Dao."
"I don't care for that. Although rare, my sect still had a small poll of Karma Was.h.i.+ng Water," replied w.a.n.g Wei. "You know the value of the scripture. It's both an Insurgent and a Longevity technique. So, directly take out your highest offer."
s.h.i.+ Qian sighed softly. "Fine. After proving the Dao, I will offer you most of my Dao Ancestor and Immortal Venerable spots."
"Excellent. Let's sign the contract," said w.a.n.g Wei. He would not refuse any opportunity to increase the sect's foundation. Then, they signed the highest binding contract that even a Great Emperor could not annul.
w.a.n.g Wei made clauses that stated she could not pa.s.s the scripture to anyone besides her mother. He wanted to exclude her as well. However, considering their situation in their homeworld, he feared the poor woman could not protect his investment.
Thus, he allowed her to use it to become an Insurgent and have the ability to protect her daughter. However, he did not know whether she could become an Insurgent with her Immortal Venerable cultivation. Statistically speaking, the chances were slim. Nevertheless, she could still deceive Heavenly Dao to become a Dao Ancestor, thus improving her situation.
After everybody was satisfied with the contract, w.a.n.g Wei and s.h.i.+ Qian signed it, and she immediately left with her mother.
'Maybe I should search for some other Immortal Child to make a similar deal.'
After thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head. Immortal Children were rare, but it was also difficult to find one with a low chance of proving the Dao similar to s.h.i.+ Qian.
"Alright, let's go hunting," he muttered.
