Chapter 532 - 451: Star River Celestial Monarch!
"Youli? So Senior Su’s full name is Su Youli?"
A thought flashed through Su Yuan’s mind, and he was immediately captivated by the figure stepping from the Star River.
It was an exceptionally beautiful woman draped in a moon-white gauze, with the same light pink long hair as Qi Hanyan, and eyes as deep as the boundless starry sky.
However, compared to her flawless face, her figure was rather unremarkable.
Hmm, just like her daughter... ahem, I should say her daughter takes after her.
But being unremarkable isn’t necessarily a bad thing on the Star River Celestial Monarch... just a bit flat, but not without anything.
Her overall aura in the fairy skirt is reserved and introverted, and traditional aesthetics don’t advocate overly exaggerated body proportions, so everything looks just right.
"But in this day and age, why is the Star River Celestial Monarch still dressed in ancient attire?"
Such a thought popped up in Su Yuan’s mind, but he quickly realized that she was originally a person from over three hundred years ago, wearing ancient attire from childhood is a habit she’s maintained, which is perfectly normal.
Conversely, the one who’s always appearing as an eighteen-year-old JK is the real weirdo among the Divinity Transformation.
The Star River Celestial Monarch swiftly appeared in front of the two of them, and as soon as she stopped, she looked warmly at Wu Luo True Monarch:
"Did you call me back so urgently because you missed me?"
Ugh~ How mushy!
Listening to these unabashedly sweet words, Su Yuan only felt a shiver run down his spine and instinctively took a step back.
What surprised Su Yuan, though, was that the seemingly shy Senior Su quickly reverted to her dominant demeanor when really facing the Star River Celestial Monarch.
She said faintly:
"I never missed you. Without your constant chatter in my ear, I find much more peace."
The Star River Celestial Monarch’s smile froze instantly, and she said somewhat aggrievedly:
"Am I really that annoying?"
Wu Luo True Monarch snorted:
"You message me continuously twenty-four hours a day, and if I don’t respond quickly, you bombard me with emojis. You disregard the fact that I have a lot of work to do and drag me to concerts or to those fun worlds you talk about... All of this is your doing."
"It’s just that you’ve been offline these past few years; otherwise, I’m afraid we’d be talking on the phone non-stop."
The Star River Celestial Monarch received the scolding face to face, awkwardly scratching her face with a guilty expression and said:
"... Uh, it wasn’t that bad."
Listening to this ’old married couple’ conversation, Su Yuan simultaneously felt overwhelmed and discovered that his prior understanding of the Star River Celestial Monarch had some biases.
In his imagination, as one of the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs and the Star River Daoist Lord, she should be a cold, elegant Female Immortal, always at ease with everything, wise and profound like the starry sky.
It’s possible that her greatest hobby is using the stars as a chess board, engaging in a game with heaven and earth.
With her vast and boundless knowledge of Daoist Techniques, perhaps she’s the wisest among the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs.
But the reality was somewhat disillusioning.
Senior Star River, why does she seem a bit like a henpecked husband?
And apart from looking somewhat clever, in other aspects, she has this slightly foolish vibe... like a ProMax version of Qi Hanyan.
An illusion?
While Su Yuan was thinking this, the Star River Celestial Monarch, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed from the chiding, hastily shifted the topic towards Su Yuan.
"You must be Su Yuan! I’ve heard Youli mention you many times."
"Is it you who’s always bullying my daughter and my dear friend’s descendant? I think you’re looking for some Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch’s punishment!"
Hearing these stern words, for some reason, Su Yuan didn’t feel worried at all.
Perhaps because the Star River Celestial Monarch was just scolded like a grandchild, her authoritative image was shattered.
So when Su Yuan heard these words, there was always a sense of bluff.
It seemed easy to get by.
Su Yuan cleared his throat and said sincerely:
"Senior Star River, you’re wronging me here. Nuoyi is someone I trust immensely, almost unrivalled."
"That’s why I’m willing to entrust all major affairs of the Primordial Sect, even my and the Sect’s accounts, to her. We help each other in life; there’s absolutely no bullying involved."
The Star River Celestial Monarch snorted:
"Then how do you explain my daughter? I hear you made her work overtime for hours every day, living in your shadow without any freedom."
Su Yuan replied without hesitation:
"I’m doing this for Hanyan’s own good! Senior Star River, you have no idea what this girl might do when she’s idle."
"Just a few days ago, when I and Nuoyi were away for two days, she stayed up playing games without sleeping or resting! If I don’t keep her disciplined, what will happen in the future?"
"Even Senior Su permits this."
After hearing this, the Star River Celestial Monarch’s starry eyes lit up with curiosity, and she asked:
"What game is so fun? Is it new? Is there an event going on now..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wu Luo True Monarch’s face turned cold:
"Qi Anong, don’t you dare!"
"I already burned the T360 console at home, so don’t think about gaming. Focus on cultivation and studying!"
The anticipation in the Star River Celestial Monarch’s eyes instantly dimmed, and she let out a reluctant "oh."
Su Yuan couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.
T360?
He remembered that was a mid-to-low-end card in the T3 series; the T6 series crystal cards were about to come out, and the Taixu Illusion Realm login cabin he got from Xiao Kong had a T490, a flagship level card from back then.
Poor Divinity Transformation.
But, perhaps it’s precisely because Wu Luo True Monarch is so strict that she can be one of the Ten Great Celestial Monarchs.
Otherwise, with her Qi Hanyan-like personality, she would’ve likely given up after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.
Looking at the aggrieved face of the Star River Celestial Monarch, Su Youli shook her head helplessly.
Why are both her lover and daughter the same? Can’t they inherit some of my intelligence?
Also, what kind of questions were you asking Su Yuan earlier?
The issue isn’t about Su Yuan bullying the daughter; the problem is the daughter’s heart being tied to some little Huang Mao!
But whatever, even if the Star River Celestial Monarch figured out this complex network of relationships, she’d probably just end up saying a few words, nothing decisive.
Tired, let it be.
"Su Yuan, how are things?"
Wu Luo True Monarch asked in a deep voice, a question that instantly piqued the Star River Celestial Monarch’s curiosity.
"How are things?"
Apparently, when Wu Luo True Monarch summoned the Star River Celestial Monarch, she didn’t disclose any information related to the Abyssal Shadow or the Primordial Dao.
Su Yuan nodded calmly:
"No problem."
Upon hearing this, Wu Luo True Monarch’s somewhat tense expression relaxed, and she genuinely said:
"Thank you."
"It’s what I should do." Su Yuan smiled and said, "I’ll also call Nuoyi and Hanyan over now."
Seeing Wu Luo True Monarch nod, Su Yuan immediately began setting up the Holy Sect Blood Sacrifice Array in space.
Wu Luo True Monarch pulled her lover aside to explain the secret information regarding the Primordial Dao and Abyssal Shadow in detail.
After listening to this information, the Star River Celestial Monarch’s gaze became solemn.
She nodded steadily:
"Don’t worry, Youli. When Chu Jiang arrives, I’ll protect all of you."
Wu Luo True Monarch chuckled and shook her head:
"Don’t be too tense. The rumored Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity hasn’t placed many pieces in the Blue Star Federation, and the chance of Chu Jiang being swapped is low, so don’t jinx him."
Just then, a flash of blood in space revealed two figures in the center of the Holy Sect Blood Sacrifice Array.
Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan had arrived.
