The sun and moon are both wrong: Starting with marrying Gongsun Ling

Chapter 56: The Desperate Stone Gourd

Even with the Myriad Realms Penglai Forbidden Law Jade Disc that Lü Buyi had temporarily lent out—

But Baili Yuan still won't act so quickly.

After all, the problem of the immortal talents of Penglai has been solved.

Even if we disregard the sea and mountains, there are still two other great supernatural beings on the three islands of Penglai.

In the past, they probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few rounds against Baili Yuan.

However, in their confrontation with Haishan, they could also tip the tide of the battle.

Not to mention Tiger Rope and Kinmyō from the Thousand Machines Hall—

If he doesn't make more preparations in advance, Baili Yuan might not be able to force out Gao Haoguang's backup plan on his own.

Since the pebbles weren't left at the Nine Realms Gate, Xiang Yuyin and Hei Zhu could be mobilized.

Hu Dasheng and Jin Miao will be left to the two of them.

Given their respective statuses, the latter could never possibly defeat them using only their physical strength.

Difficulty reduced by one.

Compared to Hai Shan, the two island lords, Hai Gong of Fangzhang Island and Hai Mian of Yingzhou Island, are not much of a threat.

One normal high-ranking person or two mid-ranking powerful individuals would be enough to stop these two.

Either Zhao Yan or Shangguan Xiao could do it, but given their relationship with Penglai...

"ha."

"Forget it, I really can't trust anyone who's ever been connected to Jiang Mingzi—"

After eliminating the two, Baili Yuan thought of two more candidates.

"Erlai, as a master of causality, if he comes with me, wiping out the entire Penglai clan would be no problem."

"But Penglai is not important; what is important is the backup plan and the final day of the Three Truths Dharma."

"Using him here is a waste of his talent."

"In that case, shall we find Bai Xiaoxiao?"

"She was taught by Lü Buyi and possesses two innate supernatural abilities. Even if Hai Gong and Hai Mian Mian joined forces, they would not have a chance to defeat her."

"Moreover, Hai Shan should have seen what she looked like when he was with Gao Haoguang back then—"

"Perhaps her appearance will momentarily distract him, allowing me to decisively decide the course of the battle?"

Thinking about it this way, Bai Xiaoxiao seems to be the most suitable candidate.

But after thinking it over, Baili Yuan rejected the option.

because……

"Given Lü Buyi's personality, he would most likely leave the task of taking care of Xiaoshizi to that girl, and then look after him from the sidelines."

"Tsk, this is really difficult."

But then, Baili Yuan grinned and said, "Fortunately, Lü Buyi has prepared enough support for me over the years."

"Since we don't need to use the strongest ones for the time being, let's just pick two mid-level powerful magical corpses to come with me."

"Gongsun Peng, Gongshu Yuan—"

"Although the two of them were severely injured by Jiang Mingzi when he arrived to destroy the Penglai sect, which caused their status to drop."

"But it's certainly enough to deal with sea bows and sponges."

Having made up his mind, Baili Yuan, who was about to leave the Dharma Palace of the Three True Ancestral Land, glanced back almost imperceptibly.

Seeing the expression on Shi Guagua's face next to Lü Buyi, he didn't say anything, but just chuckled softly.

"Don't be so insecure about your boss, Little Stone..."

As the barely audible murmur faded, Baili Yuan's figure vanished completely from the Three True Ancestral Lands and the Primordial Dharma Palace.

Once his preparations are complete, he will unleash a power struggle that will disrupt the balance of this era!

.

After a long while, within the ancestral land of the Three Truths, beneath the overwhelming crimson branches of the Myriad Life-Giving Tree—

Lü Buyi spoke softly to Shi Guagua, who was still standing there:

"He's been gone for a long time, how much longer do you plan to stand here?"

"He will come back naturally after he has done everything, so there is no need to be sad about the short separation."

"Or are you just like a little child who cries and throws tantrums because there aren't any close adults around?"

Shi Guagua retorted softly, "I'm just a ten-year-old kid..."

"Even if I celebrate my birthday in a while, I'll still be 11 years old."

Lü Buyi was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't ten years old already considered a mature adult?"

"I remember that at this age, boys were supposed to be working, and girls were supposed to be getting married."

Shi Guagua was speechless. Was this 3,000-year-old man occasionally losing track of time?

Are you still living in the Shang Dynasty?

"Boss, we're in the modern world now—"

Out of respect for the big boss, Shi Guagua suppressed the urge to complain and gently reminded him.

Lü Buyi frowned: "Am I talking about modern times?"

"And I was being conservative, wasn't I?"

"I remember not long ago, during the Victorian era when I lived in England, boys and girls alike were supposed to start cleaning chimneys to earn money to support their families at the age of three."

Shi Guagua was starting to lose her composure, but she tried her best to hold it in.

For a living being over three thousand years old, the Victorian era seems like a very recent thing.

In his eyes, ten years old is considered an adult, which seems quite reasonable...

What the hell!

The boss has absolutely no sense of time, and seems to lack common sense as well.

"Can this person really take good care of me?"

Shi Guagua looked at this with suspicion.

"Just to be on the safe side, boss, let me ask you first. You should know how a normal person lives, or at least know how to cook, right?"

"After all, a small pebble is weak and cannot live on wind and dew like a great supernatural being."

Lu Buyi thought for a moment and said, "Cooking... I haven't done it in many years. If you'd like, I can try to cook it for you once."

Many years... If even the big boss says "many years," then how many years exactly is it?

Let's conservatively estimate at least a thousand years!

Shi Guagua's lips twitched; she always felt that the big boss was even more abstract than her in some ways.

However, although she didn't think the boss could make anything delicious right now, out of respect, she still asked:

When was the last time you cooked?

Has anyone else tried it?

"Most importantly, will it kill people?"

When was the last time you cooked?

Has anyone else tried it?

Will it kill people?

Lu Buyi rummaged through his memories and then gave the answer: "The last time I cooked must have been more than two thousand years ago."

Do you know Emperor Gaozu of Han?

"Liu Bang and his followers didn't starve to death in the wilderness because I found them ingredients and cooked for them."

"They really enjoyed the food; I remember they always had tears in their eyes while eating it."

"So, it shouldn't kill anyone, right?"

Two thousand years, tears welling in my eyes...

Shi Guagua had given up all hope, so she decided to get through this period by eating snacks.

However, it seems she didn't have any money on her.

But the big boss definitely has one!

Having figured this out, Shi Guagua looked up at Lü Buyi with hopeful eyes:

"Boss, do you have money?"

Lu Buyi hadn't thought about this question, but his response left Shi Guagua stunned.

Because Lü Buyi pulled out a cigarette case from somewhere.

He offered her a cigarette; she was only ten years old, just a child.
