Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 36: A fierce mahjong battle, with transfer students and repeat students also participating i

“My young lady never wears black, white, or floral clothes!” Maid Xiaotao frowned.

"Hehe." Shen Mingyue's beautiful eyes swept over Yun Shuiyao's chest before she said, "Miss Yun has lost a bit of weight. Cultivation is tiring, but you still need to replenish your energy."

Clearly, it would be difficult to make Shen Ruyue suffer a verbal disadvantage.

Gu Jiancheng stood in the middle, feeling a little numb for a moment.

The male cultivators of the Taiyuan Sect also turned their gazes between the two women.

This is indeed a difficult choice!

"Now that we're here, let's get on the ship!"

Fortunately, at this moment, the Sect Master of Tai Xuan appeared in front of the mountain gate and summoned a hundred-zhang cloud boat with a wave of his hand.

The cloud boat was also several dozen feet tall, with carved beams and painted rafters, and numerous rooms.

This cloud boat can be considered a precious magical artifact.

"Humph."

Yun Shuiyao snorted coldly and took Gu Jiancheng's arm to board the ship.

This delighted Gu Jianzhong. With the two women fighting, he was the one who benefited!

Shen Ruyue glared at Yao Yunshuiyao, then followed with Xiao Tao.

A moment later, the cloud boat formation was fully activated, and clouds and mist rose, soaring into the sky.

The Ancient Beast Abyss is located in the center of the Eastern Region, at the junction of the four major sects. The journey is long, and even though the Tai Xuan Sect's cloud boat is fast, it still takes three days to arrive.

Each disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect was assigned a room, and they could still cultivate on the way.

"Young Master Gu, there are still some details to discuss before we go to the Ancient Beast Abyss. Would you be willing to come to my room to discuss them in detail?"

But before Gu Jiancheng could open his door, Shen Ruyue followed him in.

"Go to your room?"

Gu Jiancheng was taken aback.

What does this mean?

test?

"Let's talk about it here."

Before Gu Jiancheng could speak, Yun Shuiyao brought Su Wan'er over.

They glanced at their own room before coming to find Gu Jiancheng.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ruyue was actually there.

"That's right, let's talk here!"

Gu Jiancheng smiled, then pushed open the door and invited everyone in.

To be honest, Shen Ruyue is indeed a stunning beauty, and she comes from a wealthy family with a powerful background, but Gu Jiancheng has no interest in her whatsoever.

No woman in this world can compare to Yunshuiyao.

"Mr. Shen, please."

Yun Shuiyao followed closely into the room, acting like the lady of the house.

Shen Ruyue did not respond, but after entering the room, the atmosphere became awkward.

Including Su Wan'er, Fatty, and the maid Xiao Tao, there were six people in the room.

Eyes wide open.

"Haha, isn't this kind of conversation boring?"

"How about we talk while we play?"

But this was a minor matter for Gu Jiancheng. He chuckled and suddenly spoke.

"playing what?"

Yunshuiyao took the initiative to ask.

She only came here to drive Shen Ruyue away.

"Hehe, it's definitely something fun, I guarantee you've never played anything like it before!"

Gu Jiancheng smiled mysteriously, then reached out and took out a box, placing it on the table.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel curious.

Shen Ruyue was well-traveled and knowledgeable; there was nothing he hadn't tried.

However, when she saw Gu Jiancheng open the box and find neatly arranged bamboo and wooden blocks inside, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

She had never seen this before.

"what is this?"

Yunshuiyao was also puzzled.

"This thing is called Mahjong. It's very simple to play, and it requires four people. Let me teach you!"

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng began to explain with great interest.

In his previous life, he was a mahjong enthusiast, and now he can finally gather a whole table of them.

Yun Shuiyao and Shen Ruyue were both very intelligent and quickly learned the rules.

Although Su Wan'er was still a little confused, Yun Shuiyao still forced her to come up and make up the numbers.

The game began, and mahjong did not disappoint Gu Jiancheng. However, after just two rounds, the three women became addicted, playing with even more seriousness than when they were cultivating.

Even Xiao Tao and Pang Dun, who didn't get a chance to sit at the table, watched intently.

Shen Ruyue came from a merchant family and had an exceptional talent for mahjong. Yun Shuiyao was also extremely clever. The two women practically dominated the game, leaving poor Gu Jiancheng to lose money and force a smile.

Thus, several hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the four of them were still in high spirits.

Both Fatty and the maid Xiaotao were starting to feel the strain.

"Hehe, isn't Miss Yun going to cultivate?"

After the game ended, Shen Ruyue suddenly asked with a smile, "I don't need to participate in the competition, but you are different."

"Do you think my talent needs to care about this little bit of training time?" Yun Shuiyao raised an eyebrow.

She would never leave unless Shen Ruyue did.

"I never cultivate," Gu Jiancheng said, shrugging.

"Ah... I, I'm lazy." Su Wan'er stuck out her tongue.

She had the worst talent, but she was addicted.

"Then continue!"

Yunshuiyao continues to write the Great Wall.

Finally, even Shen Ruyue couldn't take it anymore. After losing several rounds in a row, she had no choice but to take Xiao Tao back to her room.

Looking at the pile of spirit stones in front of Yun Shuiyao, Gu Jiancheng was also convinced.

My wife is really strong-willed!

But after Su Wan'er and Pangdun left, Yun Shuiyao showed no sign of leaving.

She even went to the bed on her own initiative.

For a moment, Gu Jiancheng felt his mouth go dry and his heart pounding wildly.

Could it be that his golden statue has been shattered today?

"You're sleeping on the floor..."

But the next moment, Yun Shuiyao sat cross-legged on the bed, her hands clasped together, and began to cultivate.

Gu Jiancheng: "..."

"Row!"

Left with no other choice, Gu Jiancheng had to sleep on the cold floor.

However, with the fairy-like beauty Yun Shuiyao by his side, Gu Jiancheng felt quite content.

He put the Crimson Cloud Pill in his mouth and began to cultivate.

His cultivation has now reached the peak of the Core Formation Realm, but although he is only one step away from the Dao Palace, he still needs to refine a great many Crimson Cloud Pills.

And so, for the three days on the road, Shen Ruyue came every day, but Shui Yunyao never left Gu Jiancheng's room, and she didn't give Shen Ruyue even the slightest chance to be alone with Gu Jiancheng.

The mahjong table also became a battlefield for the two women, neither willing to concede, making it a close and evenly matched contest.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, we arrived at the Ancient Beast Abyss!

Gu Jiancheng and a group of Tai Xuan Sect disciples stood on the bow of the cloud boat and were shocked to see a deep, huge crack stretching across the flat, desolate land ahead, like a scar that could never heal.

Furthermore, under the Divine Eye of Insight, Gu Jiancheng discovered that the abyss was permeated with ancient barrier power, and the murderous aura rose like an endless flame!

It seems that what the Sect Master of Tai Xuan said was correct; the barrier of this Ancient Beast Abyss can no longer completely isolate the ferocious beasts within.

Moreover, at this moment, two even larger cloud boats were floating in front of the abyss.

One of the cloud boats was a thousand feet long, resplendent in gold, and had a battle flag with the character "Dong" fluttering in the wind, making it particularly eye-catching!

"Dongling Academy?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

There are eight academies in the desolate state, and two in the eastern region: Dongling and Taicang.

The academy surpasses the thirty-six sects, as can be seen from the sheer size of this cloud boat.

"The Dongling Academy is in charge of hosting this Four Sects Grand Competition, and the person in charge is even the Second Academy Master."

"The other cloud boat comes from Mount Fanjing," Shen Ruyue's voice rang out from behind Gu Jiancheng.

"Seven days ago, the senior disciple Wuchen, the head of Fanjing Mountain, passed the Hundred Refinements Level 10 in three days."

As a member of the Shen family, she knew all about the four clans.

Gu Jianchengde's gaze also fell on the bow of the ship from Mount Fanjing, and sure enough, he found a Buddhist monk dressed in a moon-white kasaya sitting cross-legged at the front, with his hands clasped together, looking solemn and dignified.

His cultivation level is not low; he has already reached the peak of the early stage of Core Formation.

In terms of aura, he far surpasses Cui Yin of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

hum!

Just then, a piercing whistling sound, like a sword ringing out across the heavens and earth, shook the mountains.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a cloud boat enveloped in fierce sword energy breaking through the clouds and descending before the abyss.

Therefore, there's no need to guess anymore; the Heavenly Sword Sect has arrived!

Having been rivals for decades, and having just experienced the battle at the mountain three days ago, all the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect are now on edge.

In the battle of Baishan, the Heavenly Sword Sect suffered a crushing defeat, with two members crippled and one killed. This will cause the Tai Xuan Sect to suffer the Heavenly Sword Sect's retaliation in the Grand Competition!

"The Heavenly Sword Sect's situation this time is very special."

"Chief Sword Master Ye Liangchen passed the Hundred Refinement Tenth Level ten days ago, taking only one day. He was once recognized as the strongest junior among the four sects of the Eastern Region."

"But among the disciples sent by the Heavenly Sword Sect this time, his combat strength can only be ranked second. There is another one named Xing Feng, who was originally a disciple of the Heavenly Flower Sword Valley in the Eastern Region. This time, he is representing the Heavenly Sword Sect in the battle."

"What do you mean?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

These four major competitions even had transfer students?

"Hehe, within the rules, Dongling allows it, so even if Tianjian Sect borrows people, there's nothing they can do." Shen Ruyue spread her hands: "In that case, Tianjian Sect still has two geniuses at the Hundred Refinement Level 10."

"Hehe, quite a few shady moves."

Gu Jiancheng, however, did not take it to heart.

Although Ye Liangchen and Xing Feng are stronger than Wuchen of Fanjing Mountain, they are only disciples at the Core Formation stage.

"And there's something even more outrageous: the Purple Rose Pavilion!"

But as Shen Ruyue's voice fell, the fifth cloud boat, enveloped in purple light, descended from the clouds.

On the cloud boat, there were mostly female disciples, but the one standing at the very front was a male cultivator in silver armor covered with black satin, holding a trident with a chilling light in one hand, and his aura was extremely sharp!

In fact, his cultivation level had actually reached the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation?

This is a whole realm higher than Xing Feng of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

Ziwei Pavilion ranks only third in the Eastern Region. What's going on here?

"Hehe, Mo Shang from Dongling Academy just left Taicang Academy a month ago and joined Ziwei Pavilion. So, in a way, he's your senior," Shen Ruyue said with a smile.

"That's interesting."

Gu Jiancheng was speechless. Transfer students were one thing, but how come there were even repeat students?!

However, Gu Jiancheng also noticed that Yun Shuiyao's aura had turned cold in an instant.

Following her cold gaze, the beautiful female cultivator behind Mo Shang also attracted much attention.

The Yun family, Yun Yanran!
