Wang Tao smiled sheepishly, ignoring the stunned two women, and walked towards the lake.
The space on the lake surface distorted and a dark hole appeared. Wang Tao took one step and reached the clearing on the cliff where he had just arrived.
"Ah! You...you came out?"
As soon as Wang Tao came out, Zi Yuan ran over with surprise on her face, and hugged his arm without thinking.
"You have come out of the fifth level, will you be the next head of our Ziyuan Tianfu?"
Ziyuan suddenly realized something and asked with joy on her face.
"It's just a small island, but I'm not interested in becoming its owner."
Wang Tao looked at the ecstatic Zi Yuan in a funny way.
At this moment, light flashed behind Wang Tao, and two women walked out of the void. It was Tian Ziyuan and Lu Qin who had just come out.
"Ah... Palace Master, Zi Yuan, a seventh-generation inner disciple, bows to the Palace Master."
When Zi Yuan saw the two women appearing, she was slightly startled. When she saw clearly, she was shocked and turned pale, and hurriedly pulled Wang Tao to kneel down.
"You don't have to kneel."
Wang Tao pulled Zi Yuan, who was frightened.
"Wang...Tong, what are you talking nonsense about? This is... our master."
Zi Yuan said anxiously and took Wang Tao's arm to kneel down and kowtow. Wang Tao shook his head, but instead held her arm to prevent her from kneeling down. For a moment, Zi Yuan's face turned pale and she was so frightened that she almost lost her balance.
"Grandmaster...please forgive me? This is a new disciple who doesn't know you, old man, and has lost his etiquette. I beg the master of the palace to forgive me."
Zi Yuan was so anxious that her white forehead was almost sweating. She pulled off her veil and looked at the calm Wang Tao with a face filled with fear and grievance.
"You lost the bet before, and you are now my maid. But even among my maids, there are differences between elders and younger ones."
"I...you...when are you still talking nonsense?"
Zi Yuan was so anxious that she was about to cry. She was pulled by Wang Tao and was rude in front of the palace master. Tears streamed down her face and she glared at Wang Tao with an extremely aggrieved look, as if she was blaming him for not knowing what was serious.
Well, now, I was implicated by this arrogant guy and offended the master of the palace. I'm afraid this punishment will be inevitable, even...
Zi Yuan's face turned ugly as she thought about it, and then she begged Tian Ziyuan for mercy with great respect.
"Grandmaster, please spare us! He...really..."
"Sister...what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I didn't say... Patriarch, what did you just say?"
Zi Yuan rubbed her ears in disbelief. She just had a hallucination. The master of the palace actually called her sister?
Oh my god! Has the master of the palace already attacked me? Am I hallucinating?
Zi Yuan patted her little head in self-doubt, and Wang Tao couldn't help but laugh at her expression.
"Sister, I call you sister."
Ziyuan repeated without hesitation, then walked to Ziyuan rather enthusiastically and pulled her stiff body.
"Master said that as a maid, you have to be on a first-come, first-served basis. My sister comes in first before me, so of course I have to call her sister."
"Master? Sister?"
Ziyuan murmured to herself, her whole body was as stiff as wood, and then her expression became dull, and she felt stupid.
"Am I dreaming? Or have I fallen into your illusion? Grandmaster, please spare your life? I don't dare to do it anymore."
"puff!"
Wang Tao couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. Looking at Zi Yuan's pitiful appearance, he shook his head in amusement.
"You fool, the master is Wang Tao, the future master of the world of cultivation."
"Wang Tao? Isn't his name Wang Tong?"
"Wang Tong? My name is Wang Tao."
Wang Tao said funny, then he reached out and carried Zi Yuan with a surprised look on his face, then turned into a stream of light and went straight to the palace on the top of the mountain in the center of the island, where Tian Ziyuan lived.
When he arrived at Ziyuan Palace, Wang Tao sat directly in the main hall and looked at the carved beams and painted pillars in the surrounding halls. The pillars were inlaid with gold and jade. He was slightly surprised by Tian Ziyuan's taste.
"Haha, Master is laughing at me. I have been in seclusion all year round. These are all the work of my subordinates."
"Um."
Wang Tao nodded, then looked at Zi Yuan who was standing uneasily again, and asked funnyly.
"Why haven't you woke up yet?"
"No."
Zi Yuan was still stunned in disbelief. Even if Wang Tao was the new master of the world, he wouldn't be strong enough to make the master of the palace a slave, right?
"Okay, sleep next to me tonight, and I'll explain it to you slowly."
Wang Tao said jokingly.
"Ah! Sleep with you?"
Zi Yuan's face froze, and suddenly her face turned crimson, and even her neck turned red.
"What? You don't want to?"
Wang Tao asked pretending to be unhappy.
"I...I'm not ready yet."
Ziyuan shyly lowered her head and looked at the shoe, completely losing her previous willfulness and unruliness.
"Master, I am willing...this is my first time..."
Seeing Zi Yuan's refusal, Tian Ziyuan stood up slightly hesitantly.
She acts decisively. Since she has defected to Wang Tao, she will do her best to take root under the big tree of Wang Tao.
People like Wang Tao are destined to become the masters of the world in the future and participate in the establishment of the new laws of heaven and earth in the entire Cultivation Continent. There will definitely be many people fawning over him, and the women around him will definitely be indispensable.
Instead of waiting to compete for favor in the future, it is better to sow seeds now, and maybe you will be able to become a force of your own under this big tree.
