Tales of Herding Gods

Xu Shenghua didn't stop along the way and went straight to Heavenly Lady Yan's territory. His Dao heart was firm, and he had no distractions. Even though the temptation of the Great Ultimate Primordial Fluid was great, he didn't even take a sip.

Even though Qin Mu often praised himself for having a strong Dao heart, his temperament was unpredictable. He would often have a sudden thought and couldn't resist making a move. However, Xu Shenghua was different.

High Heavens' Young Master Xu was peerless in time.

He was even steadier, more reserved than Qin Mu. At the same time, he was humble and cautious, having advantages that Qin Mu didn't have.

Even though he didn't have as many ideas as Qin Mu and was weird, in terms of intelligence, Qin Mu admitted defeat. However, it was the same for success and defeat. It was precisely because he was too calm, reserved, and humble that he had a huge deficiency in pioneering.

However, that was under the situation where he had no opponents. If Xu Shenghua met his match and met his Dao friend and strong opponent, his creativity would be greatly stimulated. For example, the Surging River Divine Treasure was opened up by him after he made a bet with Qin Mu.

The Surging River Divine Treasure was also called the Celestial River Divine Treasure. Without knowing that the Surging River was the Celestial River, Xu Shenghua had forcefully opened up this divine treasure before Qin Mu. Just this action alone was enough to rank him as a Celestial Venerable.

His other achievement was to plant the Precelestial Builder Tree in his divine treasure and use the beauty of algebra to connect the seven great divine treasures, unifying them into one. This was also an achievement of the Celestial Venerable level.

With his opponent and Dao friend, Xu Shenghua was brilliant and dazzling.

It was only because he was too humble and reserved that his reputation was far inferior to Qin Mu's. He was also inferior to Emperor Yanfeng and the former Imperial Preceptor, Jiang Baigui.

Xu Shenghua came all the way to Heavenly Lady Yan's territory, and another violent tremor suddenly came. The third Great Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge of the celestial heavens was constructed, and its light rushed into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

It was night time now, so Xu Shenghua took a look around and came to the god city in Heavenly Lady Yan's territory to rest for the night. When the sun was high in the sky, he entered the gate of the Grand Prime Mine and offered Celestial Venerable Mu a visit letter, requesting to meet Heavenly Lady Yan.

Of course, Qin Mu didn't give him any invitation card. The so-called invitation card was written by Xu Shenghua last night.

After a moment, Hong Su welcomed them and saw a charming young master that made people's hearts beat faster standing outside the door. He stood there quietly, making people feel that time was beautiful.

Unknowingly, Hong Su's heart beat faster by two beats. He went forward to pay his respects and asked, "How do I address the envoy?"

"High Heavens Divine Sect of Eternal Peace, Xu Shenghua, is here on Celestial Venerable Mu's orders to pay my respects." Xu Shenghua returned the greeting. Every action of his was so perfect that no one could find any fault with it.

Hong Su was intoxicated and couldn't help having a good impression of him. "Goddess already knows, please go, Young Master Xu." When she said this, she was shocked.

As an existence on Emperor's Throne Realm, the eldest disciple that Heavenly Lady Yan had groomed had a high position and authority. She had actually unconsciously lowered her status and called Xu Shenghua Young Master Xu!

This was something that had never happened before!

Xu Shenghua was a member of a sect in a small country in the Primordial Realm, Eternal Peace, and he was sent by Celestial Venerable Mu. In terms of status and position, he was naturally inferior to Xu Shenghua. However, Xu Shenghua had actually lowered himself. Was he being seduced by a man?

Xu Shenghua's gaze landed on her eyes, and he revealed a puzzled expression. Hong Su was intoxicated by his gaze, and she suddenly came to a realization. 'He's asking why I haven't gone to see Heavenly Concubine, not to see her off. He's polite, and even though he has doubts in his heart, he didn't ask directly, unlike a boorish man like Celestial Venerable Mu…'

She led the way in front and started to talk more. It was always a pleasant thing to talk to such a handsome man.

Xu Shenghua was a good listener and always listened to her with a smile. He would only reply once or twice, but one or two sentences already made Hong Su very happy.

When Heavenly Lady Yan's side palace arrived, Hong Su suddenly came to a realization. "Oh no! Heavenly Lady likes young and handsome men. If she sees Young Master Xu, I'm afraid even Little Seven will fall out of favor. Little Seven's temperament is much inferior to his…"

However, they had already reached the front of the hall and couldn't leave now.

Heavenly Lady Yan's voice came from the hall. "Hong Su, invite the envoy in."

Xu Shenghua had a smile on his face as he walked into the hall. His consciousness rippled, and he sent a voice transmission to Hong Su. "My purpose for coming here is to seek an audience with the ancient god of taiji through Heavenly Concubine. Miss, please inform the ancient god of taiji."

Hong Su was slightly stunned and understood what he meant. She led him into the side palace.

In the hall, Heavenly Lady Yan sat on the throne with the white cat in her arms. She lowered her head and looked at the white cat. Her slender hands slid down from the back of the cat's head to its back and then to its tail.

She was entranced by the cat, and even though she heard the footsteps, she didn't raise her head. She smiled and said, "As the ancient gods of Tai Chi expected, Celestial Venerable Mu still sent the Tai Chi Primordial Fluid back. However, no matter how much Celestial Venerable Mu calculated, he didn't calculate if he could resolve the grudge between him and the ancient gods of Tai Chi. That would depend on my intentions. If I don't allow it, you won't be able to see Celestial Venerable Mu's envoy…"

She raised her head to look at Xu Shenghua, and her gaze suddenly became blank.

Xu Shenghua greeted him. Even though he was calm and didn't go against the rules, his bearing and temperament formed an endless romantic aura around him.

Suddenly, the fur on the white cat exploded, and it arched its body to threaten Xu Shenghua.

Heavenly Lady Yan got up and threw the white cat on the ground. She bent her body and walked to Xu Shenghua's side. Her tail shook like a snake as she walked around Xu Shenghua.

It seemed to be looking at its enemy, ready to strike at any moment.

"Little Seven, retreat. Don't disturb the esteemed guest."

Heavenly Lady Yan gave the order, and although the white cat was unwilling, it had no choice but to retreat.

"Hong Su, you can leave too." Heavenly Lady Yan waved her hand and smiled.

Hong Su took the chance to retreat.

Xu Shenghua said, "In that case, does Goddess allow me to meet the ancient god of taiji or not?"

"Whether I allow it or not depends on the envoy."

Heavenly Lady Yan came forward and said with a smile, "The envoy is young and handsome. Not only is he good-looking, but his temperament is also extraordinary. To have someone like you in the lower bound, you are truly extraordinary."

"Empress is too kind."

Xu Shenghua bowed slightly and said, "Heavenly Concubine is high and mighty. Thanks to Celestial Emperor's grace, I'm worried…"

"What are you worried about?"

Heavenly Lady Yan hooked her wrist around his neck and fell into his embrace. Her charming eyes were like silk as she smiled. "He's looking for other women and won't even let my sister off. I want to sleep with all the handsome men in the world to take revenge on him!"

Xu Shenghua took the chance to hug her waist, and their eyes met. Xu Shenghua looked straight into her eyes and said gently, "After Goddess took revenge on him, did you feel happy?"

Heavenly Lady Yan's heart trembled, and the soft spot in her heart was touched. She only felt bitterness surging into her heart.

"No."

"I think so too."

Xu Shenghua continued to look into her eyes and said gently, "Every time Goddess takes revenge on him, she will recall his betrayal and feel pain. Goddess' revenge didn't hurt him, but hurt herself again. Goddess, why are you doing this?"

…

Outside the hall, Hong Su looked at the furious white cat, Little Seven, and his heart stirred slightly. He immediately called him back and thought to himself, 'If I go and report this to the ancient god of taiji, I will definitely be investigated by the goddess. Even though the goddess and I are master and disciple, we are actually master and slave. It wasn't easy for me to climb to my current position, so it's naturally better for someone else to take this risk.'

She explained to Xiaoqi.

Little Seven, the white cat, was delighted. He stood up and cupped his hands to Hong Su. "Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister! This fellow, Celestial Venerable Mu, has harmed me. He sent a pretty boy to seize my destiny and share the favor of the Empress! I definitely can't let him succeed!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Not long later, the two ancient gods of taiji came together. The female ancient god said, "Celestial Empress stopped Celestial Venerable Mu from seeing us. She must have a motive!"

"There's no need to say more. You'll know when you see the envoy."

The two of them came to the front of the side palace, and Hong Su hurriedly stopped them. "Seniors, allow this junior to go and report!"

How could she withstand two ancient gods? They walked past her and blocked Hong Su.

Her scalp turned numb, and she hurriedly chased after the two ancient gods while crying bitterly in her heart, 'If there's love inside and their clothes are messy, what should I do?'

She and the two ancient gods of taiji entered the palace one after another. Hong Su was worried and hurriedly raised her head to take a look. She was slightly stunned.

They saw Heavenly Lady Yan and Xu Shenghua sitting high up on the cloud platform, chatting and laughing with Xu Shenghua. They didn't look like they were enjoying themselves. Instead, Heavenly Lady Yan seemed to treat Xu Shenghua as a close friend and was close to him. She talked and laughed with him, raising her handkerchief from time to time to cover her mouth and laugh.

Hong Su was extremely astonished. This scene was something she had never expected. She had originally thought it would be a charming and gentle scene, but she didn't expect Heavenly Lady Yan to still treat such an outstanding man with respect and speak to Xu Shenghua in a caring manner.

"Minister Xu should really come often."

Heavenly Lady Yan rose from the cloud platform and said with a smile, "I feel much better after talking to you. I don't have a confidant or a confidant, and it's rare for me to meet such a close friend like you. I can't wait to tell you everything I know. It's a pity that you are the envoy of Celestial Venerable Mu, and I hate ugly men like Celestial Venerable Mu. This fellow has always gone against me…"

Xu Shenghua said, "If Goddess doesn't mind, I can come often."

Heavenly Lady Yan was delighted and walked down while holding his hand. "With Minister Xu's words, I can be at ease. Hong Su, when Minister Xu comes to see me in the future, don't stop me."

Hong Su was even more astonished, but he didn't dare to reveal any astonishment. He lowered his head and acknowledged.

Heavenly Lady Yan walked to the Falling Cloud Platform and let go of Xu Shenghua's hand. She said, "Celestial Venerable Mu has ordered you to come and meet Dao Brother Tai Chi. Even though I want to stop you and spoil his plans, I'm afraid that this stinky man will punish you when you return, so I might as well fulfill your wish. Hong Su, let's go, let Minister Xu and the two Dao brothers talk slowly."

Xu Shenghua bowed in thanks.

Heavenly Lady Yan immediately returned the greeting and walked out of the palace with Hong Su.

"What a wonderful person."

Heavenly Lady Yan walked out of the side palace and couldn't help but exclaim, "There's actually such a talented person beside Celestial Venerable Mu. I'm envious."

Hong Su blinked her eyes and felt strange. 'Could it be that Empress has changed her personality?'

The white cat, Xiao Qi, scampered over, but Heavenly Lady Yan ignored him. The white cat didn't dare to jump into her arms to act coquettishly, feeling wronged. 'Could I be a step late? That brat surnamed Xu is indeed weak, his speed is very fast…'
