Chapter 113: Great Law Of Ultimate Bliss

Chapter 113: The Great Art of Ultimate Bliss

"Why resort to assassination?" The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden naturally followed his lead, acting as if she were truly displaying power to persuade him to join the cult. "Our Maitreya Cult is widespread across Jiangnan. The vast majority of Yangzhou's officials have merged with us, the Canal Gang is mostly made up of our believers, and there is even a Heavenly Maiden by the Prefect's side. With a single rallying cry, never mind Yangzhou, the entire Jiangnan will be ours. If you two join us, you will both be Bodhisattvas by then."

"With such a grand force, you are still lying low, so you are merely waiting for the right moment?" Zhao Changhe said. "For instance, waiting for your Cult Leader to start an uprising elsewhere first, and then coordinating from this side?"

The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden shook her head. "This I truly do not know... In any case, I was ordered to preach to you, Young Master, and indeed I was never told that we needed you to do anything, other than bringing you into the cult. If there really is something required of you, perhaps down the line it would be to have you draw the attention of the Four Symbols Cult, making it easier for us to set an ambush and kill them. After all, you have a grudge against the Four Symbols Cult, so you are a good bait... That is all I can think of."

Zhao Changhe was momentarily taken aback by her words. "The Four Symbols Cult is active here too, and even more secretive than you?"

Yue Hongling said in a low voice, "The Four Symbols Cult has always been known for its secrecy. Unlike the Maitreya Cult, which needs to spread its believers widely, their ambitions lie elsewhere... At most, they are like how they subjugated the Blood God Cult, taking on some subordinates to do things on the surface for them. Most of the time, you do not even know who around you is a member of the Four Symbols Cult."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head. "I actually find them quite common..."

Even the Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden could not help herself. "Young Master, you yourself came from the background of a subordinate member of the Four Symbols Cult, so isn't it quite normal for you to find them common..."

"Alright." Zhao Changhe wondered out loud, "My cultivation is still shallow, yet you regard me with such favor. Is it truly just because of this little connection I have with the Four Symbols Cult?"

"Not entirely so. The cultivation of our cult emphasizes achieving Buddhahood through slaughter. One who kills one person is a One-Dwelling Bodhisattva; one who kills ten is a Ten-Dwelling Bodhisattva. You, Young Master, are a bloodthirsty and brutal man, brimming with heaven-soaring murderous intent, which is the perfect fit for our cult... The title of Asura is not merely a nickname, but the Buddha's expectation of you. In the future, you might even attain the fruit of an Asura." As the Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden spoke, a look of genuine anticipation and adoration actually appeared on her face. From her perspective, her mission to seduce Zhao Changhe was entirely sincere...

Zhao Changhe: "...Then you might as well go and assimilate the Blood God Cult. They are the truly bloodthirsty and brutal ones."

"We want to as well." The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden spoke with a hint of resentment. "The Four Symbols Cult is truly annoying. They are nothing more than four ancient mythical beasts, what is there worth believing in?"

Zhao Changhe said, "According to what you said, your claim that you can improve the condition of my meridians, could it actually be true?"

The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden glanced cautiously at Yue Hongling. Yue Hongling had been quietly listening to their conversation, only occasionally interjecting with an explanation, looking like a little young wife who left the dominance of the scene entirely to her man.

The Heavenly Maiden was secretly amazed, and she said in a low voice, "It is indeed true. Our cult's Heavenly Maiden Great Art of Ultimate Bliss can benefit both the Heavenly Maiden and the Buddha... Many believers who joined the cult as adults did so because true qi was transferred to them, causing their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, so naturally they had no worries about their meridians being set in form... If you are willing, Young Master, I..."

"Do not believe her blindly!" Yue Hongling, who had been acting like a little young wife all along, suddenly interrupted. "This of theirs is nothing more than an evil art of plundering and nourishing, using a furnace to bypass the bitter cultivation accumulated over days and months. It looks like jumping ahead by leaps and bounds, but in reality, it is of absolutely no help to your meridian problem. What is more, the filthy energy obtained from plundering and nourishing is chaotic and mixed, making that kind of cultivation very hollow. You must not crave quick results... And, and this art of theirs can control people. Once you become addicted to it, you will never be able to break free..."

"Alright, that is enough talk." Seeing Yue Hongling's anxious look, Zhao Changhe found her quite adorable. He subconsciously reached out his hand, intending to rub her head, but only after his hand was extended did he remember that this was fucking Yue Hongling, not Cui Yuanyang, and he awkwardly drew it back.

Yue Hongling just stared fixedly at the way his hand reached out and then withdrew, and let out a "Hmph."

The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden said anxiously, "We do not entirely rely on plundering and nourishing either! There are also Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Maidens who engage in proper dual cultivation to achieve mutual progress! Otherwise, how would our higher-ups practice their arts? And long-term harmonious nourishment does indeed have a certain effect on improving the meridians. If these words are false, may I never return to the Hometown of True Void!"

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling exchanged a glance. Since she had even sworn this oath, such a thing should indeed exist, except that what they originally intended to use on Zhao Changhe was definitely not this kind.

This time, Zhao Changhe was actually a little tempted, thinking to himself that isn't this stuff a must-have for a protagonist? Although it might not cure the root cause, what is the point of transmigrating if one cannot even do this? So he said, "Do you have this cultivation method?"

This time, it was impossible to tell if the Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden was speaking the truth or falsehood. "I have only mastered the superficial aspects of this art. You must join the cult, Young Master, and Maitreya will naturally pass it on to you."

Yue Hongling hesitated for a moment, and actually began to search her body.

Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her, his expression quite peculiar.

Sister Yue, are you helping me look for a dual cultivation method? Whom do you plan for me to use it with once you find it?

Yue Hongling was indeed helping him look for a dual cultivation method... After searching carefully all over, she found nothing, and sighed, saying, "It is a pity we do not know that kind of soul-searching method, or a secret art of mental control, otherwise we would surely have gained something..."

The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden's expression was similarly peculiar from being touched. In the end, are we the demonic cult, or are you the demonic cult? Aren't you a female hero? Or could it be that you rushed to touch me first just to keep him from touching me?

Right at this moment, unhidden footsteps came from outside the door, and someone said in a low voice at the entrance, "You two... have you enjoyed yourselves fully?"

Zhao Changhe looked at the Heavenly Maiden. The Heavenly Maiden knew well that a leak like the existence of a Heavenly Maiden by the Prefect's side was already hard to forgive; if it were known, being skinned and having her tendons pulled out would be the lightest punishment. Reaching this point in the play, she naturally knew how to act, and quickly said in a seductive voice, "Changhe is truly fierce and brave, leaving me limp and weak until now..."

Yue Hongling, who was still touching her body, twitched the corner of her mouth.

Do not play the role of Yue Hongling right in front of my face, and is Changhe a name for you to call?

Yet the voice outside the door laughed, saying, "Sorry to disturb, sorry to disturb. It is Young Gang Master Wan who came to deliver an invitation, asking Young Master Zhao to attend a evening banquet."

Zhao Changhe said, "Where is it?"

"The Bright Moon Tower."

"Reply to him, I will go."

The person outside the door acknowledged, and laughed, saying, "Then I will not disturb you two from continuing, I wish you a happy time."

The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden let out a delicate gasp at the right time, which was caused by Yue Hongling's touch.

Yue Hongling: "..."

Holding back a bizarre mix of emotions, Zhao Changhe suddenly pulled out a pill heavy with the scent of blood and stuffed it into the Heavenly Maiden's mouth. "This is the Blood Fiend Pill of my Blood God Cult. If there is no antidote within ten days, your qi and blood will run wild, your whole body will explode, and you will die a most wretched death. Do not count on Maitreya to save you, our systems are different."

In reality, he did not have any fucking poison pill; that was simply a Blood-Stabilizing Pill used to suppress the onset of the Blood Fiend Art. Of course, when perceived by outsiders, it carried the special technique of the Blood God Cult, making it very difficult to distinguish.

The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden silently sensed it, and indeed felt that something extra was in her blood. She let out a sigh. "You do not need to use such a malicious drug, Young Master, I must keep playing the part as well... The one who enjoyed pleasure with you today must be me, and I naturally know what to tell them. As for the fact that you two are truly a couple, no one will know..."

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling exchanged a glance and both nodded. Yue Hongling said, "I will go show my face on the street to see if Wan Dongliu will look for me."

Having finished speaking, she broke through the window and vanished in the blink of an eye.

From beginning to end, neither of them thought to defend whether they were a couple... After all, back during the bandit stronghold days, wasn't it just like this...

The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden was currently sighing. "The Maitreya Cult did not treat you as an enemy, Young Master, which is why we were deceived by you like this. Once someone wakes up to the truth, you will be in extreme danger... In fact, why bother? What is wrong with truly becoming one of our own? I really cannot understand..."

Zhao Changhe did not go to debate values with her. A Heavenly Maiden like her had been deeply brainwashed, and it was impossible to reason with her. What is more, your methods of wanting to use a secret art to control me were not much like treating me as "one of your own." Thus, he did not say much either, merely saying, "We will see about that later."

He sat for a moment, waiting until Yue Hongling was far away, before opening the door and walking out in a grand and unconcerned manner. Seeing a brothel servant outside the door, he even patted his shoulder. "This Heavenly Maiden playing the role of Yue Hongling did not deceive me, but playing with her dressed like that was truly an exquisite taste. I now know the surprise the Upper Buddha spoke of, thank the Upper Buddha for his kindness on my behalf."

Having finished speaking, he left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in a leisurely manner.

The brothel servant trotted into the room. The Flower-Flipping Heavenly Maiden's face was flushed red, her eyes filled with spring water, and she was lazily arranging her clothes, sighing as she said, "The secret is out. I told you all that after getting into bed, that flavor cannot be hidden... But luckily, he considers it a favor and felt that playing along felt particularly good."

The brothel servant expressed understanding. "Then that matter of control via the secret art..."

"Since the secret is out, how would I dare to use it recklessly? He is no fool either. Let's take it slow; I feel this person can absolutely be won over. A hasty man cannot eat hot tofu; who knows, he might really become obsessed with my flavor..."
