The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 147 Why did you choose He Ming in the end?!

Fengtian City, Zhao Mansion.

The wind and snow in the twelfth lunar month outside the Great Wall have never known gentleness.

In just over ten minutes, a torrential downpour swallowed the entire city into a vast expanse of silvery white.

The north wind howled like a ghost, carrying icy snowflakes that lashed wildly against the windowpanes, producing a dense, drum-like "crackling" sound.

In contrast, the chess room in the central courtyard of the Zhao residence was a completely different world.

As the door opened, a warm, cozy feeling mixed with a faint, exotic fragrance wafted out.

In the center of the room, a bronze charcoal brazier with a mythical beast design was burning brightly, and the charcoal inside was not ordinary charcoal.

Instead, it is valuable fragments of spirit flesh, smokeless, and its warmth can penetrate to the bone marrow.

A huge polar bear skin was laid on the ground, with a ring of bright red fox fur around the edge.

It feels as soft as walking on clouds.

The double-glazed windows kept out the bitter cold, and a thin layer of moisture covered them, transforming the icy world outside into a freehand ink wash painting. The warmth inside the room stood in stark contrast to the cold outside through the glass, neither willing to yield an inch.

Two people were sitting in front of the mahjong table in the middle.

One was Zhao Qiao'er, and the other was Song Meiqin.

These two stunningly beautiful mature women usually dress as scantily as they want in the warmth of their homes.

Today, both of them were dressed in elegant silks underneath, clearly ready to put on cloaks and go out at any time.

There was still an unfinished game of mahjong on the table in the middle.

However, neither of them was paying attention to the card game; instead, they would occasionally turn their heads to look at the sky outside the window behind them.

The two of them naturally knew about today's Heavenly Venerable Ceremony.

Lu Yuan didn't hide anything from his two wives. In fact, they were even aware of his plans with the Goddess of Beauty.

At such an important moment, neither of them was present.

It wasn't that the two beautiful aunts didn't want to go; it was that Lu Yuan wouldn't let them.

The two beautiful aunts completely understood why Lu Yuan did this.

After all, the two of them knew nothing about the Heavenly Venerable Ceremony and couldn't offer any help.

If she goes there and can't help but shout and yell because of something, wouldn't that just be a distraction for Lu Yuan?

The two played mahjong at home today, partly to distract themselves and partly to pass the time.

They were really distracted; after playing mahjong for several hours, they both lost quite a bit.

In just a short while, the two of them had spent nearly a thousand yuan together.

Good news, I was really distracted.

The bad news is that it all came down to playing mahjong.

The two beautiful aunties were playing mahjong, and every now and then they would look back out the window at the direction of the Heavenly Venerable Ceremony.

That sky was sometimes overcast with dark clouds, and sometimes shone with golden light. Every change made their hearts leap into their throats.

After the goddess of beauty suddenly left, the weather had finally calmed down for half an hour, but then it suddenly started snowing heavily again.

This made the two beautiful aunts very uneasy, wondering if the snow was related to the Heavenly Venerable Ceremony.

"Don't worry, that porcelain-clad girl will be fine!"

"Quickly find someone to come and help us out, let's play two more laps!"

A shrill voice suddenly rang out from the side. The two beautiful aunts turned around and rolled their eyes in unison.

This mahjong game is something the two of them have never played before in their lives.

A weasel formed from a piece of celadon porcelain...

Good heavens...

At the mahjong table, only Song Meiqin and Zhao Qiao'er were people.

Its two little paws were rapidly counting the money on the table, its black bean-like eyes gleaming with greed.

Seeing Huang Menji's greedy look, Song Meiqin and Zhao Qiao'er were both speechless.

This guy's become a god, so why is he interested in money now?

"Stop fighting! You've been fighting for hours, take a break."

Song Meiqin got up and walked to the window, her brows furrowed as she looked at the increasingly violent wind and snow outside.

Zhao Qiao'er also put down her cards, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said:

"You've won so much and you're still not satisfied?"

"If you need money, just go to the accounting office and tell them."

Upon hearing this, Huangmenji gathered the money even faster, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

"That's different!"

"I'm a guardian spirit, not a spendthrift spirit. How dare I ask my master for money?"

"Isn't this Yao Ru Dongjia (Master Yao) some kind of evil spirit?"

Seeing that Zhao Qiao'er and Song Meiqin had stopped fighting, Huang Xianji started swiping money on the table while shaking her head and saying, "Besides, I'm not short of money. It's all about the thrill!"

Zhao Qiao'er and Song Meiqin shook their heads speechlessly after hearing what Huang Menji said, and stopped paying attention to Huang Menji.

Finally, the two exchanged a glance, then put on their cloaks and prepared to open the door and go out.

If they won't let us go to the site of the Heavenly Venerable Ceremony, can't we just wait at the front door of our house?

Logically speaking, the goddess should have returned after being gone for more than an hour.

No matter what we say, today's battle is just against Shen Jizhou, isn't it?

The two beautiful aunts were very clear about the detailed plan for this Heavenly Venerable Ceremony.

When Lu Yuan discussed this matter with the Goddess of Beauty, Song Meiqin and Zhao Qiao'er were both listening nearby.

"Don't worry, Lu Yuan will be fine."

"I've taken a look at that kid. His destiny is brilliant, and he's incredibly resilient. Nothing serious will happen to him."

Huang Menji swiped his money without even looking up.

The two beautiful aunts ignored these words, though they were still extremely worried.

Then, the two put on their cloaks, took long strides, and walked briskly towards the front yard.

When the two arrived at the front yard, they saw Wang Fu, who had gone out to inquire about the situation, hurriedly returning.

Before the two beautiful aunts could even ask, Wang Fu, who had rushed back, gasped for breath:

"The master is back!"

As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, a large group of people came from the street corner.

A magnificent celestial carriage was clustered in the middle.

Night falls.

Lu Yuan was already comfortably half-lying on the heated kang bed in the main room of the backyard, with soft cushions behind him.

His wounds had been treated by the best doctor that Aunt Qiao'er had invited, and he had changed into clean clothes. He exuded a relaxed air, as if he had just survived a disaster. His two beautiful aunts, Zhao Qiao'er and Song Meiqin, had been constantly bothering him since he returned.

She was cleaning and applying medicine, and now she was personally overseeing dinner in the small kitchen.

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable didn't leave; he sat on a chair under the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), his eyes fixed on Lu Yuan with an extremely complex expression.

"You're a lucky guy, born with a silver spoon in your mouth!"

"Outside, you're surrounded by beauties... and you even have god-like figures backing you up. At home, you have two devoted wives who love you dearly!" Lu Yuan said awkwardly, listening to Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's words.

"Uncle-Master, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable pursed his lips and didn't dwell on the matter.

After all, this was Lu Yuan's own skill, and he couldn't envy it.

He's feeling like he's being scratched by a cat; he just wants to figure out one thing.

There were too many people around, and Lu Yuan was covered in injuries, so he didn't feel comfortable asking.

Now, he simply couldn't hold it in any longer.

"At first, I thought you were crazy, but then I saw..."

"You're really crazy, kid!"

"To be honest, if it weren't for that old fellow Shen Jizhou's obsession with top-tier magical artifacts, there's a 99% chance your plan would have backfired!" Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable looked at Lu Yuan and couldn't help but frown.

Lu Yuan, however, did not take Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's words to heart at all.

This is similar to the "What a weirdo" comments that often appear in the bullet comments when watching videos on Earth.

"Uncle-Master, you can't say that."

"I precisely anticipated that he had this problem, which is why I tailored this playing style for him."

"If he didn't have this problem, I would naturally have other methods to treat him. The process would be different, but the result would be the same."

Lu Yuan's tone was calm, yet it exuded an undeniable confidence.

Setting up a scheme based on the individual is the very foundation of any strategy.

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable nodded slightly, ceasing his argument. He took a deep breath, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp.

"Alright, even if you've calculated everything perfectly, your plan has succeeded."

"Shen Jizhou was...that...beautiful..."

For a moment, Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable hesitated when mentioning the name of the Goddess of Beauty.

Lu Yuan was taken aback, then immediately replied:

"Mimi Sane".

"If you feel awkward, just call her Lingmei. She really is a disciple of our Zhenlong Temple."

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable: ..."

"Why does this name sound so Japanese...?"

"Where did you find this?"

"How come you're a disciple of your True Dragon Temple, or even a disciple of He Yin?"

"Why didn't I see it during the Lunar New Year period?"

Lu Yuan: ..…….…”

"I brought it back from the place where I raised evil spirits after the Lunar New Year."

"This matter is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you in detail when I have time."

Lu Yuan only mentioned the name of the goddess casually at the time.

Now that the title of the goddess of beauty has been given, her name naturally cannot be left out.

Lu Yuan had a sudden inspiration and blurted out this name.

result……

The goddess quite liked it, and that's how the engagement was made...

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable waved his hand, banishing the point of contention from his mind, and his expression turned serious again.

"Shen Jizhou was defeated by Ling Mei today, so your plan can be considered more than half successful."

"Or rather, if you hadn't chosen Heming in the end, your master's title of contemporary Celestial Venerable would have been a foregone conclusion."

"You can send someone to Zhenlong Temple to summon your master today."

Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable leaned forward slightly and asked, word by word, his voice filled with utter confusion.

"What I'm most curious about right now, and what I can't understand the most, is..."

"Why did you ultimately choose Heming?!"

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable's gaze was intense, staring intently at Lu Yuan, as if trying to see right through him.

This is a question that Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable has been pondering all day but hasn't been able to answer.

Why choose Heming?!

In this land beyond the Great Wall, besides Shen Jizhou, the most powerful people are him and He Ming.

Why choose Heming?!

What's the point?!

This makes absolutely no sense!

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable didn't know the extent of the goddess's power, but...

What Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable knew was that if Crane Ming had taken things seriously from the very beginning, he might not have lost to the Goddess of Beauty.

Like I said, this whole thing is just inexplicable!

Anyway, Lu Yuan was only after winning the "Challenge of Asking the Heavens".

Lu Yuan will definitely replace Shen Jizhou.

In that case, there's absolutely no need to choose Heming!

Back then, if we had chosen one of the four lower sects, we could have rushed to Zhenlong Temple and brought He Yin over. But now…

He Ming is a variable!

There was an old grudge between Heming and his junior brother Heyin.

The image of He Yin using He Ming as a jump rope back then is still a topic of conversation among some old folks at the dinner table.

Now that Lu Yuan wants to seize the position of Heavenly Venerable for He Yin, would He Ming be willing to do so?

Heming will definitely not hold back!

and so……

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable truly couldn't understand why Lu Yuan chose Crane Ming.

Of course.

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable did not express any intention to criticize Lu Yuan.

Just out of curiosity.

After all, He Xun hadn't figured it out when the "Challenge to Heaven" started.

Later, when Lu Yuan chose Shen Jizhou to challenge, He Xun still didn't understand.

The results of it?

Look at him now, Shen Jizhou has truly lost.

This afternoon, after the goddess came on stage, neither side even made a move.

Shen Jizhou immediately admitted defeat.

After all, things have come to this point; even the most stubborn person can't escape it, one has to be sensible.

Anyway, Lu Yuan is really close to making the "Challenge to Heaven" a reality!

Isn't this outrageous?

Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable even felt that he could no longer view Lu Yuan with the same eyes one would use to look at a junior.

He believed that Lu Yuan's choice of He Ming must have been driven by a deeper motive.

After He Xun finished speaking, Lu Yuan fell into silence, or rather, deep thought.

"You little brat..."

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable stared at the silent Lu Yuan, his Adam's apple bobbing, and tentatively asked:

"Could it be because your master challenged the three upper sects back then, so you insist on replicating it and choosing the strongest one?" For a moment, He Xun felt like he was about to hear it.

We'll hear that familiar popping sound soon.

However, this time He Xun was disappointed. After regaining his senses, Lu Yuan immediately shook his head very honestly and said:

"There was no scheming involved."

Uh……

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was taken aback, then said with a strange expression:

"Then why did you choose Heming??"

"Is there any plan that guarantees a win?"

"Besides Shen Jizhou, he's the only one left with me outside this area!"

"Are you absolutely certain that your so-called 'Beautiful Sanne' can beat him?"

Hearing what Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable said, Lu Yuan blinked and then said very seriously:

"Well... that's hard to say..."

Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable: "????"

"no??!!"

"You little brat?!"

Once he came to his senses, the Heavenly Venerable Crane Patrol unleashed a Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, pointing it at Lu Yuan's nose and glaring at him:

"What do you mean by that?!"

Lu Yuan stared blankly at Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable and said:

"It's hard to say."

"I'm really not sure if the goddess can definitely beat Tsurumi..."

Lu Yuan really didn't know that.

What we can be sure of now is that the Goddess of Beauty can definitely defeat anyone below the Grand Celestial Master level.

Above the Grand Celestial Master level...

Uh……

Lu Yuan couldn't say.

Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable: "????"

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

"No way, what other plans do you have up your sleeve?!"

Lu Yuan shook his head directly and said:

"There really is no plan."

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable:
