Chương 123: Tushan

Tushan is a beautiful city surrounded by mountains and lakes. In the city center stands a giant tree called the "Bitter Love Tree," which blooms with flowers that look like dandelions.

Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was lying on her side at the foot of the Bitter Love Tree, took a sip of wine and then threw the huge wine gourd aside.

She looked at the messages in the group chat.

Richard messaged her saying he wanted to come to her world.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to agree.

She had been in the chat group for quite some time and was fairly familiar with everyone in the group.

Overall, everyone is quite friendly to other group members, and the group members help each other out, resulting in a harmonious relationship within the group.

It seemed she couldn't find a reason to refuse.

But Richard seems to turn every world upside down in every one he visits.

While it won't harm the members of this world, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad for the world itself.

For other forces, it was a disaster.

For example, the other dragon kings in Xia Mi's world, and the gods in the divine realm who were innocently caught in the crossfire.

Because of her, Richard, a fellow member of the group, will probably be more restrained and won't target Tushan, but it's hard to say about other forces.

The entire God Realm of that Douluo World was conquered by these group members.

This is quite frightening. Those are gods! All the gods in the divine realm, hundreds or thousands of deities, couldn't defeat them.

Although they kept emphasizing in the group that the gods in the Douluo God Realm were weak, aren't they still gods even if they are weak?

So, should we let him into our own world?

After much deliberation, Tu Shan Ya Ya was still unable to make up her mind.

Sister, oh sister, when will you come back? Ya Ya misses you so much.

Although she now knows that Su Su is the reincarnation of her older sister Hong Hong, she still misses Hong Hong and hopes that her sister can regain her memories of her past life as soon as possible.

With her older sister around, the burden on her shoulders wouldn't be so heavy. Like the current choice, she could have easily pushed it to her sister and let her sister make the decision.

"You've been hiding here drinking again." A clear voice came from behind.

Tu Shan Ya Ya didn't turn around; it was Rong Rong's voice.

The newcomer had long green hair, with a tuft of hair tied into braids with fox-shaped hair ornaments at each ear. There was a mark on each cheek, and she wore a long skirt that covered her shoes.

She is none other than Tu Shan Rongrong, the second-in-command of Tu Shan, known as the "Thousand-Faced Demoness".

Rongrong firmly believed that Tushan Susu was the reincarnation of her eldest sister Tushan Honghong, and had always taken great care of and trusted Susu.

Ya Ya felt a little ashamed, realizing that she was indeed not as clever as Rong Rong.

Before joining the chat group and learning about the plot of her own world, she had always been suspicious of Su Su's identity.

Because of Su Su, she and Rong Rong often quarrel.

Later, after joining the chat group, learning about the plot of her own world, and discovering that Su Su was the reincarnation of Hong Hong, she changed her attitude towards Su Su, which also eased her relationship with Rong Rong considerably.

No matter what, Honghong and Rongrong have always been her most trusted family members.

She didn't hide the chat group from Rongrong; she needed Rongrong's sharp mind to help her analyze what was happening in the group.

"What does it matter? You're in charge of everything in Tushan anyway, it won't interfere with anything." Tushan Yaya waved her hand indifferently.

"Is something bothering you?" Rongrong sat down next to her.

"A friend in the group wants to come to our world, and I'm thinking about whether to accept his request," Ya Ya said listlessly.

"Which one is it?" Rongrong asked after thinking for a moment. She remembered that her sister had introduced some information about several members of the group.

"The strongest one."

"Say yes," Rongrong said without much thought.

"Huh?" Ya Ya was puzzled as to why they were so decisive.

Rongrong sighed. Her sister didn't realize that joining that chat group was her greatest opportunity, and also Tushan's greatest opportunity.

Why not seize this opportunity to integrate into the chat group's inner circle? What's the point of being an outsider who doesn't fit in?

If you don't fit in now, will you get a share of the great opportunities in all the heavens and myriad realms in the future?

So no matter who wanted to come, she would make her sister agree.

Moreover, my sister said that this strongest person and another strong person in the group have already conquered a god realm.

It is said that divine positions in the divine realm can help one comprehend the laws of nature, and if one can merge with a suitable divine position, it will greatly increase their strength.

If we don't agree to let him travel through time now, how can we have the nerve to choose a god's position later?

Rongrong explained the reasons to her older sister little by little.

As for the person who will come and have a huge impact on the world, possibly changing many things?

Who cares? As long as Tushan is safe, that's all that matters.

As for other people or things? Better to die for your fellow Daoists than for me.

Richard couldn't possibly know what the two sisters had discussed. All he knew was that after he spoke with Tu Shan Ya Ya, she considered it for a while and then agreed to his family's request to travel through time.

Of course, even if Richard knew, he would say that Tu Shan Ya Ya was really overthinking things, and that there was nothing in this world that he particularly needed or absolutely had to get his hands on.

I simply want to study the Bitter Love Tree and the underworld of this world. If possible, I'll also study the methods of forging magical artifacts in this world.

It's just research; there's no need to pluck the roots of the Bitter Love Tree. He also knows how important this thing is to the Tushan Fox Clan; it can be said to be the foundation of their existence, so naturally he wouldn't deliberately destroy it.

While waiting for Tu Shan Ya Ya's consent, he also made a request to Dao Xuan.

He was quite curious about this world of cultivation, and since he had many divine clones, he decided to send one of them over.

I won't go there myself.

Compared to the conflicted Tu Shan Ya Ya, Dao Xuan Zhenren was much more straightforward and quickly agreed to Richard's request.

It could also be said that having been in charge of the Qingyun Sect for hundreds of years, Dao Xuan's shrewdness was far deeper than Tu Shan Ya Ya's, and he had long considered this issue.

Therefore, they had a contingency plan in place, unlike Tu Shan Ya Ya who had to come up with a plan on the spot.

So Richard decisively sent his water-elemental god clone over; a mid-level god clone was quite cautious.

His true form then came to the world of fox spirits.

And so, when Richard arrived, he saw two fox-like girls, one big and one small.

Both sisters have red eyes and huge fox ears.

The larger one was dressed in a blue outfit, sleeveless on one side and wide-sleeved on the other, with a white scarf around his neck, and a huge gourd beside him.

The little one had two marks on his face and long green hair.

Animal-eared girls? Richard wasn't surprised; in fact, there were humans with animalistic characteristics in the Panlong world.

I've also seen the Mink Tribe in the world of One Piece.

The sisters saw Richard as a young man, dressed in black, with black hair and black eyes, basically all in black.

He looked ordinary, showing no signs of strength whatsoever.

In this world, Richard enjoyed the same treatment as in the world of Death.

After exchanging greetings with Richard, Tu Shan Ya Ya's first request was to witness the strength of this top chat group member.

Richard sighed, wondering if all strong people shared this trait.

Xia Mi was the same way at first. If he hadn't decisively intimidated him back then, Xia Mi would definitely have asked to see his strength.

If it were Richard when he first became a lower-level god and joined the group, he might also want to see the strength of the world's demon emperor.

But with his current strength, most extraordinary systems in the myriad worlds would not be stronger than him in the end.

In a magic-free universe, with his current strength, he could easily create planets, destroy stars, and annihilate small star systems.

As for the Fox Spirit World, its strength is actually just so-so.

Richard simply abandoned any talk of sparring and unleashed his aura, letting her withstand the pressure first.

Richard's imposing presence was the complete opposite of his earlier ordinary, passerby demeanor.

At that moment, he felt like the center of the world; no matter how modestly he dressed, others would notice him first.

Tu Shan Ya Ya and Tu Shan Rong Rong, who were suppressed by his aura, were in a very bad mood. They even had difficulty breathing, as if time and space around them had been frozen.

But in reality, Richard didn't use his time-space abilities at all.

Tu Shan Rongrong couldn't help but roll her eyes, saying that it was Ya Ya who wanted to spar with you, so you should just target her.

Why target me as well?

It's not that she lacks sisterly loyalty; it's just that she doesn't rely on violence for a living. Although her strength is decent, it's far inferior to her two older sisters.

She makes a living with her brains.

This is truly a case of a scholar encountering a soldier—reason is useless against him.

After a while, Richard withdrew his imposing manner and became like an ordinary person on the roadside again.

But Tu Shan Ya Ya refused to discuss sparring anymore. What's the point of sparring if you can't even withstand someone's aura?

But her curiosity about Richard only grew stronger. If she, with her Demon Emperor level strength, couldn't even withstand Richard's aura, then what level of strength must he be?

With such strength, wouldn't they be able to easily sweep aside those outside the circle?

However, she then thought of her sister. Could Richard possibly bring her sister back?

Don't rush it, you can bring it up again later.

The two leaders of Tushan first arranged accommodations for Richard.

Richard followed the two sisters as they left the Bitter Love Tree.

He turned and glanced at the huge, bittersweet tree; it was quite an interesting tree.

No rush, we can study it slowly later when we have time.

He has to get the two sisters in front of him to agree to his research, right?

Arriving in the city.

The monsters in the city didn't find it strange that the two leaders brought a human back with them.

Tushan is actually a relatively tolerant city. Although it is mainly inhabited by the Tushan Fox Clan, other monsters also live there, and there are also humans.

The topic of love between humans and demons is unavoidable in this world. On one hand, humans and demons are in conflict, and on the other hand, they fall in love.

It's a cliché plot, and there are countless worlds like this in the myriad realms.

Because human lifespan is short, even cultivators don't live longer than ordinary people, while demons generally live much longer than humans.

Therefore, lovers and demons alike inevitably have to make a trip to Tushan in order to continue their bond in the next life.

This is also a major business of Tushan, the continuation of predestined relationships in the mortal world. There are even professional matchmakers who handle matters related to reincarnation and marriage.

However, I've never seen anyone brought back by both of the heads of the household. It must be a very important guest, right?

Richard, walking down the street, was surrounded by a group of curious fox spirits.

This is truly like falling into a fox's den. There are no ugly people in the Tushan fox clan; they are all handsome men and beautiful women.

However, they all have huge animal ears, one standing up and the other lying down, like human-shaped Scottish Fold cats, which is quite cute.

Richard was amazed; he was enjoying the same treatment that even King Zhou of Shang hadn't received.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the guest house arranged for him. Afterwards, Tu Shan Rongrong had to deal with the affairs of the clan, so only Tu Shan Ya Ya accompanied him to wander around.
