--- Chapter 180 ---

After solidifying [Undying Body] to the Intermediate Stage, Baek Ain spread his consciousness to the surrounding area of the Pill Tower.

Countless people are waiting for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree to reveal itself. By doing rough counting, there are over 3,000 people in the area, not counting some who try to hide their presence and act secretly.

Baek Ain snorted at their inferior stealth skills, thinking how dumb they could be to hide their presence but not greed.

Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is not a simple legendary tree.

It has gained spirituality, just like Three Thousand Burning Flame.

No, the legendary tree is even mature as it could allow one to experience one hundred reincarnations. The innate wisdom it possesses should be around Dou God Level.

Well, considering there is no Dou God anymore in this continent. 

No one could escape Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's senses.

"Things are getting out of control..." Someone commented beside Baek Ain.

Baek Ain gazed at the silver-haired figure, sensing her change after the recent breakthrough. She surpassed her past self and entered the 1-Star Dou Saint Realm. 

A smile appeared on his face as he teased, "Don't tell me Orchid Ancestor's 4th Reincarnation is afraid?" 

Lan Rou shook her head, "Anyone below 4-Star Dou Saint won't be my opponent. Don't worry much. I'm capable of protecting myself."

"Oh, come on. You know that wasn't what I wanted to hear." Baek Ain huffed in letdown.

Lan Rou chuckled, "I'm not Qing Lin and Yi Xian, which means bullying me isn't so easy." 

"But appreciate your worry. It makes you adorable as you were in the past." 

"Well, you can bully me in 'another' way." She smiled, bringing his hand into her soft mountain. 

"Damn... I almost couldn't hold myself back." Baek Ain cursed under his breath. "I can't blame anyone for having such a beautiful wife." 

"But, you're playing with fire, my Dear Rou." 

Lan Rou felt Baek Ain enveloping her lips and closed her eyes. His hand squished her breast, making her moan.

"Mm~!" 

As Lan Rou's tongue intertwined with Baek Ain's and developed into a sloppy kiss, she hugged him tightly. 

How long has it been since they kissed this passionately? 

Lan Rou could sense Baek Ain's energy rubbing all over her body, even touching sensitive spots. Experiencing this pleasurable sensation, she couldn't hold her moan like before.

"Ahhn~!" 

After about five minutes, Baek Ain finally left her off. There is a smug grin on his face. 

With a dreamy look, Lan Rou blushed and complained, "My body is hot now!" 

"I don't think I can participate in such a state." 

"Then... Let's release all that pent-up energy." Baek Ain whispered into her ears like a devil.

His voice sounds very inviting.

For a woman who experienced how good Baek Ain was in bed, Lan Rou couldn't resist. 

She rubbed her thighs and said softly, "Quickie." 

"A Quickie then." Baek Ain seized her toned rear. God damn, he loved his silver-haired lover. 

...

Two hours later, someone knocked on Baek Ain's room. 

"Master, the barrier will disappear in fifteen minutes." 

It was Xuan Yi.

"Master?" She knocked a few more times.

"W-We will be out in a moment." Lan Rou's weary voice echoed from the other side of the door.

"G-! Mmhn... Go!" 

Xuan Yi was confused. 

Why did her mistress sound like she was in pain?

On the other side of the door, Baek Ain pinned Lan Rou against the door.

Sweats ran on their linked bodies, and Lan Rou's cheeks were rosy as she felt Baek Ain deep inside her.

"Oh my, you're so naughty~!" Baek Ain kissed Lan Rou's nape, making her shiver in joy.

Although they agreed upon a Quickie, they somehow enjoyed themselves more.

"AAh... AIN~!" 

After doing the 'deed.' Baek Ain and Lan Rou went down, seeing Yi Xian give them stinky eyes. 

The poisonous lady scoffed and sipped some of those finest wines to elevate her mood. She was mad they didn't ask her to join. 

Qing Lin remained unaffected by their brief, intimate action. She has had a fair share of affection for a few months.

"How is the tree?" Baek Ain broke the awkwardness.

Xuan Yi opened her mouth and replied, "It was about to open." 

"And as you ordered, we have placed designated entries around the floating island with scanning arrays." 

"Anyone who uses 'alternative' routes will get marked, but they won't notice it immediately." 

"Of course." Baek Ain shrugged casually. After all, he was the one who created these arrays.

He glanced at Yi Xian and consoled her, "Okay, stop with the pout." 

"After this, I'll try something to increase your Nether Poison Flame's potency." 

"And extra time?" Yi Xian added to her part. 

She gave him a stubborn look, which means 'No.' is not the answer she wants.

"Yes, and extra time." Baek Ain swore with a nod.

Yi Xian let out a big smile as she jumped and hugged Baek Ain. "We will have so much fun later~!" 

Meanwhile, Baek Ain shook his head inwardly.

He doesn't make this sound horrible, but the cultivation world's women are easy to handle except for the 'special' cases like yandere.

Well, this was the headache that had come from having a harem. Baek Aoin could only deal with it.

[It's your fate, Host!]

[The DAO OF HAREM has chosen you!] Alicia teased with her profound knowledge.

Baek Ain gave the system side eyes roll and said, "Yi Xian, since you and Rou will lead the Pill Tower. I advise you to clear your hearts from any greedy thoughts." 

This world is an alternative universe, without a doubt. It also means the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree will either get corrupted or changed drastically.

"Well, love you two." Baek Ain smiled, kissing his two beautiful lovers on the forehead.

Yi Xian and Lan Rou watched Baek Ain walking away with Qing Lin and glanced at each other. 

"So, are you still weak down there?" Yi Xian suddenly uttered, returning to her usual playfulness.

Lan Rou laughed weakly, "I can't defeat him alone, you know that." 

"And to your question, I'm weak for now, but it should be fine as the regeneration kicks in soon..." 

"As monstrous as always, our husband is." Yi Xian smacked her lips.

"He is." Lan Rou nodded in agreement.

...

Baek Ain used [Chaotic Mask of the Jester] and returned to the dignified Teacher Lin Feng. Qing Lin also used her transformation ability.

"Let's fetch my lovely disciples." He said with a chuckle.

Qing Lin shook her head gently and commented, "In the future, I'm wondering... Will you tell them the truth or not?" 

"Why so sudden?" Baek Ain glanced at her.

Qing Lin sighed, "It's nothing. At this point, having more harem members won't hurt us." 

Baek Ain pinched Qing Lin's cheeks and replied, "It depends on the future events. Your husband will follow the flow." 

"Unless something ridiculous happened and made me change the plan." 

"Like?" Qing Lin tilted her head. She knew Baek Ain was a very cautious person.

A few years ago, he racked his brain to defeat Queen Medusa, now known as Cai Lin, with his irregular plan.

Baek Ain walked to the lower floor of Pill Tower, "Like a certain rat-like fellow with mysterious ghost and bullshit luck." 

"Rat?" Left confused, Qing Lin stares at Baek Ain's back with a frown.

Baek Ain and Qing Lin arrived at the lower floor, meeting with the three beautiful disciples. They have been training diligently and exploring the city nearby. That's until the matter of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree ruins their short adventure.

"Teacher!" X3. 

They greeted Baek Ain with a charming smile.

Baek Ain waved his hand, "Any of you want to visit the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree?" 

Hearing this offer, Yao Ling'er immediately raised her hand and answered with bright eyes, "Me, Teacher. Me!" 

"Me too!" Huo Zhi was interested in the legendary tree that made everyone drool like fools.

Gu Xun'er wasn't like her senior sisters. 

She stared at her handsome teacher and asked, "It would be dangerous, right?" 

"With me around, no one will touch my disciple." Baek Ain reassured them while patting his chest.

Gu Xun'er witnessed Baek Ain's power when he fought the Lei Clan's Patriarch. Her heart pounded in excitement when hearing his care toward them.

It makes her and the other two feel special.

"When will we go?" Huo Zhi inquired.

Baek Ain checked the barrier with his superior sense and answered casually, "The barrier around the area of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree will disappear in 4-! No, three minutes." 

"Three minutes." Huo Zhi rubbed her chin.

"Then, we will prepare ourselves quickly, Teacher." 

Baek Ain told them he would be waiting on the balcony, overseeing the outside with his eyes. "Damn, this place is crowded." 

The ground and sky are 'literally' filled with people. 

Each group has five people, just like the Pill Tower and other factions agreed upon. But some people still bring over ten people, gaining attention.

"Are they?" Baek Ain narrowed his eyes.

"Demonic Faction." 

"Teacher, we are ready." Yao Ling'er led her fellow disciples out. 

They are 'currently.' wearing white and black robes, covering their faces with masks.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A loud explosion occurred at the floating island.

The barrier around the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree broke, sending a gust of extreme wind everywhere. 

Weak people are 'thoroughly.' swept away, and the stronger ones are rooted in their position.

[Ding! You have triggered a quest!]

[Name: Heroine, Open your eyes!]

[Objective: Destroy Xiao Yan's image in Gu Xun'er heart]

[Reward: Bodhisattva's Heart x3, Bodhisattva's Seed x15, Perk: Protagonist Halo's Nullification(Upgradeable)]

[Failure: Unknown]

[Do you want to accept the quest?]

[Yes/No]

"..." Baek Ain.

'Alicia.'

'Why did this quest sound personal?'

[I don't know]

'How suspicious...'

[...]

'Well, only a dumb person would reject such a good quest.' 

'Also, that perk. I need it.'

'So, Accept the quest!'

Baek Ain stretched slightly and hummed, "Well..." 

"Here we go!"
