157: What is your relationship with Gu Yuan?

As mentioned before, Gu Yuan was becoming increasingly adept at handling Yun Qingci.

This was no joke.

Indeed, Yun Qingci was now being firmly manipulated by Gu Yuan.

"Should we go call Tian Mei, Xi Nian, and the others?"

Yun Qingci asked curiously as she walked beside Gu Yuan.

Uh... Gu Yuan's expression stiffened upon hearing this, and he let out a light cough.

"Um... no need. There shouldn't be much going on this time, so let them stay here. Besides, if anything happens with the book of heavenly judgment, they can keep an eye on it."

Gu Yuan casually made up an excuse to brush it off.

Are you kidding? If he brought Tian Mei and Xi Nian along too...

Gu Yuan could already imagine the scene of Qing Shang getting jealous.

Add to that Revered Master, Luoying, and Nether Moon...

At that time... Hiss... As if imagining a certain scene, the corners of Gu Yuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

That kind of thing must absolutely not happen!

Yun Qingci didn't realize what Gu Yuan was thinking.

However, she felt that what Gu Yuan said made a lot of sense.

And most importantly... Yun Qingci stole a glance at Gu Yuan, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

This way, it would just be the two of them.

Of course, I don't think this is particularly great... it's just... well, anyway, there's no other meaning to it!

A brainstorm swirled in Yun Qingci's head; she just felt extremely delighted.

And her secretly joyful appearance was caught by Gu Yuan's eyes.

This made Gu Yuan feel very strange.

Why is this Little Noodle so happy?

Does she like joining in on the excitement that much?

Tch~ And she's supposed to be the Descendant of the Sword Immortal? As expected, she's just a mere Little Noodle!

Before Gu Yuan and Yun Qingci left, he naturally informed Chi Lin and the others.

Actually, if it were any other time, Chi Lin would have insisted on going with Gu Yuan no matter what.

Unfortunately, she had been stubbornly challenging Gu Yuan for days, only to end up utterly defeated every time.

This had left Chi Lin's entire body limp and weak for the past few days, to the point where she didn't even want to get out of bed.

"Hmph~ Then come back quickly, my Lord Emperor~"

Gu Yuan found it somewhat amusing when he thought of Chi Lin's half-naked body and her cute face full of soft, seductive intent.

He had realized that his Cult Leader was truly the type who was bad at it but had a huge appetite for it.

A total noob who loved to play!

"Gu Yuan, don't worry. If there's any unusual movement from this book of heavenly judgment, we will notify you."

Xi Nian had no objection to Gu Yuan taking Qing Ci to the Sea of Stars.

After all, she had heard about the Sea of Stars from Gu Yuan and her own Revered Master.

For something that required the various Sect Masters to step in, her going there probably wouldn't be of much use.

It was better to stay at the Jin Mie Cult and help Gu Yuan keep an eye on the book of heavenly judgment.

Tian Mei's thoughts were similar to Xi Nian's.

Moreover, as the heavenly dao incarnation, if she went... well... there would likely be many inconveniences.

"Heehee, then I'll leave it to you guys. Gu Yuan and I will be back soon."

Yun Qingci waved to the two of them and spoke with a giggle.

"Yeah, we'll be back as soon as possible. If there's anything strange about that book, just notify me directly."

Watching their departing backs, Xi Nian frowned slightly and suddenly said:

"Tian Mei, don't you think Qing Ci... well, she seems very happy. Haven't those two always been rivals? Why is she so happy?"

Tian Mei hadn't paid much attention to this and simply said indifferently:

"Maybe it's because Qing Ci likes excitement. Hey, Xi Nian, come look at this, the cover of this book is quite interesting."

Hearing her words, Xi Nian temporarily set aside her inner doubts and looked at the book of heavenly judgment with her... "Qing Shang!? Why are you here, and... your aura... you, you've completely recovered!?"

Nether Moon, who was originally following Dongfang Yingxue and the others to repair the Great Formation, was feeling quite bored.

But then she suddenly saw Ye Qingshang appear before them.

The nine snowy-white tails swaying freely and the powerful aura she emitted...

All of it indicated that Ye Qingshang had already recovered to her peak strength.

Nether Moon felt very joyful about this.

After all, she and Ye Qingshang had an excellent relationship.

Additionally, she really couldn't fit in with the other people present.

Now that Ye Qingshang had appeared, Nether Moon felt it was wonderful.

"Nether Moon...?"

Ye Qingshang frowned slightly, seemingly not expecting to see Nether Moon here.

However, upon seeing the long-unseen Nether Moon, Ye Qingshang couldn't help but let out a light laugh.

But then she turned her gaze toward the other people present.

Which of these women Sister Xia mentioned are related to Gu Yuan...?

"Demon Emperor Ye Qingshang...? Why are you here as well?"

Liu Hanyan stepped forward and asked softly.

She had no objection to the Demon Venerable Nether Moon being there since Yingxue had vouched for her.

But now, this rumored-to-be-missing Demon Emperor had actually appeared here.

This immediately filled her heart with uncertainty.

"I heard that Your Excellency the Demon Emperor has been missing for a long time. I wonder what brings you here this time?"

Mysterious Mechanism Master also stepped forward and asked in a heavy voice.

Ye Qingshang only gave a cold snort in response to their words.

As a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the Demon Emperor of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, she had her own pride.

Therefore, she did not answer the two of them, but instead looked at Dongfang Yingxue and Di Luoying.

These two had Gu Yuan's aura on them... After realizing this, Ye Qingshang didn't hesitate and asked directly:

"Empress Qiongyue, and Di Luoying, what is your relationship with Gu Yuan...?"

Eh!?

Liu Hanyan, Mysterious Mechanism Master, Zhao Su, and the others were all stunned.

The Demon Emperor appeared here just to find someone?

Gu Yuan...?

Wasn't that Empress Qiongyue's Personal Disciple and the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect?

How did he know the Demon Emperor?

For a moment, all of them looked at Dongfang Yingxue and Di Luoying with curiosity.

Beside Ye Qingshang, Nether Moon also showed a look of astonishment upon hearing Ye Qingshang's words.

Why did Qing Shang suddenly ask about Gu Yuan... wait... a strange expression flashed across Nether Moon's face.

She knew Ye Qingshang very well.

She had an obsession in her heart, only wanting to find that one person.

And now she suddenly mentioned Gu Yuan's name, combined with the fact that she usually had zero interest in anyone else.

Then there was only one answer... the person Qing Shang had been searching for was Gu Yuan!

Thinking of this, Nether Moon couldn't help but bite her lip, a bit of irritation surfacing in her heart.

That damnable bad fellow, provoking women everywhere.

Leaving aside That Woman Dongfang Yingxue, he even provoked Qing Shang.

At this moment, Nether Moon just wanted to give Gu Yuan a few hard bites.
