162: I've said it before, you can only be mine.

So, it's often said that men tend to enjoy being a bit masochistic.

In such a battlefield-like situation, Gu Yuan actually had the mind to find it quite thrilling.

"Well... what I want to say is... ahem, everyone can get along peacefully."

Gu Yuan was teased by Nether Moon, and immediately felt his thoughts wandering.

Thus, he didn't even know what he was saying anymore.

Ye Qingshang and the others waited for a long time, only to hear Gu Yuan utter such ambiguous words.

How could this satisfy them?

"Get along peacefully, huh? Gu Yuan, are you dreaming?"

Di Luoying asked somewhat puzzled.

With Ye Qingshang challenging everyone like this, hoping to get along with her is nothing short of a pipe dream.

"That's right, Gu Yuan, I also think what you said is a bit too wishful, I... mmm...!"

Nether Moon giggled softly, but before she could finish her sentence.

She let out a soft moan, and her pretty face flushed with a few streaks of crimson.

Nether Moon bit her lip, looking at Gu Yuan with a pleading expression.

There was no choice; this guy had caught her mischief... and, and was still teasing her... mmm, how could he be so naughty!

She had completely forgotten that she was the one who started teasing him in the first place.

Nether Moon shot Gu Yuan a resentful glare.

However, Gu Yuan kept his gaze straight ahead, still relentlessly teasing Nether Moon's... this little vixen, did she really think he would just let her tease him?

But just as Gu Yuan was enjoying himself immensely, Ye Qingshang beside him softly said:

"Husband~ I have you, and that's enough. As for them, hmph, I have no intention of getting along with them."

Ye Qingshang hadn't noticed Gu Yuan's little actions.

She just nestled against Gu Yuan, her beautiful eyes gazing at him infatuatedly.

Well... Gu Yuan discreetly let go of Mingyue's... although this was very thrilling now, if they found out, he would be completely done for.

The latter, seeing Gu Yuan release her..., immediately withdrew it.

Gu Yuan sighed with a bitter smile.

He took Ye Qingshang's small hand and softly said:

"Qing Shang, I won't leave them. They are also very important to me."

Ye Qingshang's originally gentle face instantly turned extremely cold.

Those eyes filled with tenderness were now brimming with an almost pathological possessiveness.

"Gu Yuan, why would you say that? You promised me, you are mine, hehe, isn't that right?"

Ye Qingshang said softly, and at the same time, the aura around her began to surge continuously.

And the nine tails behind her swayed slowly and unconsciously.

Every hair on them seemed soaked in frost.

And they emitted an aura powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.

"Gu Yuan, be careful...!"

Di Luoying frowned lightly, directly pulling Gu Yuan away from Ye Qingshang's side, while watching Ye Qingshang warily.

This happened too quickly; Yun Qingci hadn't even fully reacted before the situation became tense.

"Gu Yuan, I told you, you are mine, and can only be mine. As for the others, hehe, I'll make them disappear. That way, you'll belong only to me, won't you...?"

Ye Qingshang's current state was extremely abnormal.

Her exquisitely beautiful and bewitching face now appeared particularly startling due to her twisted expression.

At the same time, the aura around her became extremely violent, the overwhelming Demonic Qi even permeated the entire Sea of Stars.

"Gu Yuan...!"

Dongfang Yingxue and Nether Moon called out simultaneously.

The two women glanced at each other, slightly frowning.

But soon, they both turned their gaze to Ye Qingshang.

"Qing Shang, is it really necessary to be so extreme... he..."

Nether Moon opened her mouth, speaking somewhat helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshang's expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to a frenzied look.

"To me, Gu Yuan can only be mine. None of you are qualified to stay by his side!"

With that, Ye Qingshang waved her hand, and the overwhelming Demonic Qi surged directly toward Dongfang Yingxue and the others.

Dongfang Yingxue, Nether Moon, and Di Luoying flashed and directly blocked in front of Gu Yuan.

The three women together blocked Ye Qingshang's attack.

But all three were somewhat astonished in their hearts.

Ye Qingshang's strength could actually contend with the three of them.

They even thought that Ye Qingshang might have taken that step... but regardless, since she attacked them, they couldn't just let this Demon Empress act recklessly.

After all, one was Empress Qiongyue, one was the Current Sword Immortal, and another was the Ruler of the Endless Demon Domain.

Each had their own dignity and pride.

The three women simultaneously fixed their gaze on Ye Qingshang, preparing to suppress her on the spot together.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed softly.

He stepped between the two sides.

To him, he couldn't just watch Qing Shang be attacked by Revered Master and the others.

Similarly, he absolutely couldn't let Qing Shang harm Revered Master and the others.

Well... in that case, it depended on how he handled it.

"Qing Shang, Revered Master and the others don't mean anything else. Let's all calm down and talk properly, okay?"

Ye Qingshang originally felt very sweet seeing Gu Yuan stand in front of her for her sake.

But upon hearing his words, she sneered.

"Gu Yuan, drop that ridiculous idea. In short, if there's me, there won't be them!"

Ye Qingshang bit her lip, her gaze at Gu Yuan filled with stubbornness.

Gu Yuan glanced back at Revered Master and the others, then shook his head at Ye Qingshang.

"I won't let you harm them. Similarly, Qing Shang, I won't let you get hurt either."

Seeing this, Ye Qingshang's heart filled with a sense of bitterness.

"Gu Yuan, in that case, then you should die. I said, you can only be mine. After you die, I'll join you."

Ye Qingshang murmured, and at the same time, she struck a palm toward Gu Yuan.

However, Gu Yuan just stared at her blankly, without any intention of dodging.

Just as the palm was about to hit Gu Yuan's chest, Ye Qingshang bit her lip until it bled, and ultimately struck slightly off target.

Even so, Gu Yuan was still sent flying hard.

"Gu Yuan...!"

The three women urgently called out; they hadn't seen exactly what happened.

They just thought Ye Qingshang had actually attacked Gu Yuan.

So, the three women also directly attacked Ye Qingshang.

Although Ye Qingshang had taken that step, which of these three women before her wasn't a top-tier powerhouse on the continent?

Even Ye Qingshang was somewhat outmatched.

Plus, she had actually attacked Gu Yuan just now, and he didn't even dodge.

This left Ye Qingshang's heart filled with confusion.
