I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 716: The Plan Failed

The next day, Wu Ziyou came in person to take the mount.

He came at the right time.

When outsiders saw this, they thought that he valued Li Jingsheng so much that the dignified Heavenly Lord did not wait for the younger generation to pay him a visit, but instead took the initiative to come forward.

In fact, Wu Ziyou also had his own little idea: if Li Jingsheng failed to cure the problem of riding the beast within one day, he would have an excuse to take back the corpse ash wine from Li Jingsheng.

That’s right, after a day and a night, Wu Ziyou still couldn’t let it go and was unwilling to give up the killer weapon of the disgusting thunder knife.

When he gets the corpse ash wine back, he will still promise Li Jingsheng a corpse of a night wanderer as compensation.

Wu Ziyou believes that this operation has made everyone happy.

However, reality shattered his plan.

The mount was intact and squatting beside Li Jingsheng.

Who is Wu Ziyou? With just a glance of his spiritual sense, he knew that the beast he was riding had recovered.

It just seems a little weird mentally.

Wu Ziyou seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Jingsheng saluted him first. Compared with his state when he left yesterday, he was obviously calmer today. Facing Wu Ziyu, a high-level Heavenly Venerable, he also showed the proper etiquette of a junior.

Hand over the reins used to restrain the beast.

Li Jingsheng said: "The problem has been solved."

Wu Ziyou smiled and put away the magic weapon casually.

This magic weapon was for Li Jingsheng to suppress the beast he was riding to avoid being hurt by it, but he didn't need it.

Wu Ziyou was well aware of the hot temper of the beast he rode. It was easy for him to let his bestiality get the better of him except for his master and people stronger than himself.

When Li Jingsheng proposed the two plans, he knew that the one-day cure was more severe than the multi-day slow treatment. He believed that his mount had suffered a lot of pain from Li Jingsheng that day. Now that it was freed and with the presence of its master, it would definitely take revenge on Li Jingsheng on the spot.

It just so happened that Wu Ziyou also wanted to teach Li Jingsheng a lesson. It was his fault for knowingly committing a crime and refusing to return the corpse wine of the Book of Justice.

Everything went well. The mount was liberated and it indeed charged forward instantly. But the target it was charging at was... not Li Jingsheng who was nearby, but its master Wu Ziyou.

Wu Ziyou was stunned and missed the best opportunity to pass the order to the mount. He saw the mount coming behind him and squatting.

This time Wu Ziyou finally understood what was wrong with the beast's mental state. It was actually afraid of Li Jingsheng.

Wu Ziyou said: "What did you do to it? Why did you make it so timid? What's the point of rescuing such a cowardly animal!"

The tone of the following sentence suddenly becomes stronger and more aggressive.

The anger of the Heavenly Master came suddenly, and even without the spiritual pressure, it still cast a shadow of fear over people.

Wan Xiaohao didn't dare to breathe.

Lu Fu, who assisted Li Jingsheng in treating the beast yesterday, knew why the beast was so strange and timid today.

But she had no right to interrupt at the scene, and her words would not be taken seriously by the Lord of Heaven.

She looked up at Li Jingsheng's back and felt vaguely that Tianzun was targeting her deliberately.

Could it be that the treatment of the beast on the mount was actually a trap set by the Burning Blade Venerable for Master Li? No matter how well Master Li did, the Burning Blade Venerable would take advantage of it?

The more Lu Fu thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible.

  Otherwise, why would Fen Dao Hou, who was obviously on good terms with Elder Shen, suddenly show goodwill to Master Li? It turned out that everything was a conspiracy!

She was annoyed at Shen Zhong and Wu Ziyou's hypocrisy, and worried about Li Jingsheng. Li Jingsheng had no expression on his face when facing the accusation, and did not say anything to defend himself. However, there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes, which showed that his thoughts coincided with some of Lu Fu's guesses.

His sinister eyes did not boldly fall on the face of the high-level Heavenly Master, but like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, touched the beast behind Wu Ziyou.

"call out--!"

A long cry like a bird's cry or a beast's roar rang out.

Wu Ziyou looked back in surprise and saw the beast he was riding holding its head high and howling, looking very majestic and powerful.

As if afraid of not appearing ferocious enough, it looked ferocious and stared at something with murderous intent in its eyes.

There was a spiritualist hiding there who was watching the fun. He didn't expect to be discovered and targeted by the monster. Not knowing the details, he thought he had offended the Heavenly Lord, so he dared not hide any longer. He dispersed the magic spell he used to hide himself in a dejected manner and bowed to this side to apologize.

He had no idea that he had become an innocent scapegoat chosen by the beast, and vented his anger on him that he dared not direct towards Li Jingsheng.

Seeing that the beast's momentum was growing stronger and stronger, it seemed that it was going to chop the man who was watching the fun into pieces. The man's face turned pale, sweat was pouring down, and he loudly begged for mercy in the direction of Wu Ziyou.

In this kind of scene, there is no such thing as the "cowardly beast" that Wu Ziyou talked about.

Wu Ziyou had raised this mount for several years and had developed some affection for it. Now that it had ruined his plans, although he was unhappy, he was not to the point of killing it on the spot.

Compared to displeasure, curiosity is more important.

  How did Li Jingsheng tame his mount so obediently?

Wu Ziyou slapped the beast on the head to stop it from charging at the spiritual master, then smiled at Li Jingsheng and said, "I was wrong."

Li Jingsheng took out a shadow stone and handed it over, "The process of treating the monster is recorded here."

Although his tone and expression were normal, the fact that he prepared the shadow stone in advance was intriguing enough - as if he had already guessed that Wu Ziyu would cause trouble.

If this happened to a Heavenly Master with a bad temper, he might just be obsessed with Li Jingsheng because of this.

Fortunately, Wu Ziyou seemed to be in a good mood. He took the shadow stone calmly. Then, he had no interest in continuing the conversation with Li Jingsheng and told his beast to leave.

As soon as he left, the unlucky spiritualist who had been targeted by the beast rider also took the opportunity to quickly slip away.

Li Jingsheng sneered and turned to walk into the house.

When his figure disappeared, Wan Xiaohao sighed to Lu Fu: "Master Li has such a bad temper. Every time I follow him, I get scared to death."

Lu Fu chuckled, "Then do you still want to become Master Li's disciple?"

"Of course I do!" Wan Xiaohao said, "Just practice more, this is nothing."

Lu Fu shook her head helplessly.

Wan Xiaohao came closer and asked curiously, "Senior sister, you and Master Li treated Tianzun's monster yesterday. You must know why the monster became so obedient in front of Master Li, right?"

Lu Fu asked, "Have you ever heard Master Li's lectures?"

Wan Xiaohao said enviously, "No, Master Li spoke publicly once after he joined the sect, and I missed that time."

Lu Fu said, "If you have the opportunity to see Master Li use a knife someday, you will understand the reason."

Wan Xiaohao cried, "...Senior Sister, please stop talking. The more you talk, the sadder I get. Why did you miss the opportunity yesterday because you were so talkative!"

When he mentioned this, Lu Fu thought of yesterday and once again couldn't help but cast a sympathetic and amused look at him.

However, when talking about yesterday's treatment, Lu Fu did not actually tell Wan Xiaohao the whole story: Normally, Master Li's use of a knife is scary enough, but yesterday, when Master Li treated the beast, he obviously had personal emotions in mind, and his methods were even colder and more brutal, as if there was not a living monster underneath.

Lu Fu estimated that given the monster's intelligence, it must have been left with a deep psychological trauma from this treatment.
