40: Chapter 40 She was originally a proud daughter of the Nascent Soul stage.

"The clear breeze and bright moon hang high in the sky, with a beautiful lady keeping me company by my side; Sect Master, you certainly have a refined taste for worldly pleasures."

Yao Xianer wore a white dress, which perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.

"What, you're not pretending anymore?" Gu Qingge looked at her beautiful, radiant face and said softly.

"When we first met, you acted too timid; it was actually somewhat unrealistic."

"The Hundred Thousand Monster Mountain Range is a vicious and dangerous place. How could some naive flower possibly wander in without regard for her own life, only to be coincidentally captured by a Yao Beast?"

"Do you want to hear my story?" Yao Xianer blinked her captivating, beautiful eyes and said softly.

However, her words were decisively rejected by Gu Qingge.

"No."

"I... hmm?"

Having received a result completely different from what she expected, Yao Xianer could not help but look at Gu Qingge with suspicious eyes.

The implied meaning was: You're not playing by the rules!

"Hearing it would inevitably lead to complications, and I am a person who hates trouble the most." Gu Qingge glanced at her and explained.

Since she could be involved in a scheme like this, it was enough to show that Yao Xianer either carried a deep blood feud, held hidden secrets, or had some other incredible grudge or conflict.

In short, the trouble behind her would not be easily resolved.

He was currently in a state of steady development, and there was no need to break the peace and force extra intensity onto his own path of Cultivate.

"If it were someone close to me, that would be one thing."

"If not, it's best to avoid talking about it." Gu Qingge added.

"Is this a hint disguised as a clear statement?"

Upon hearing his words, Yao Xianer instantly thought of something.

Wasn't he just trying to take advantage of her vulnerability, wanting to make her his woman so he could help her resolve her crisis?

First there was the former Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Sect Master Min Qingrou, and then looking at Shen Youqing who went out at night and didn't return until the next morning—she was likely also lost to him.

Including the fragrant and delicious meat that delivered itself to his door some days ago, Ruan Yuyan, who was also a beauty of the world.

With them, wasn't it enough?

Just how lecherous was he, or was he perhaps too powerful in certain aspects?

Yao Xianer examined Gu Qingge's body up and down with an expression full of scrutiny and thirst for knowledge, and a hint of drunken flush couldn't help but rise on her face.

Viewed from the side, she appeared exceptionally pure and cute.

"I come from a Longevity Family."

As soon as these words left her mouth, Gu Qingge understood immediately.

Great, hearing the words "Longevity Family" meant it was destined to be trouble.

"I was originally the biological daughter of the Longevity Family head. But because they were hunted by enemies in their early years, I was separated from them during their escape and left to wander outside."

"Over these many years, for the sake of so-called Family affection, they adopted a daughter to serve as a replacement for me."

"And I, for all these years, grew up in a remote region."

"Originally, everything could have passed by so peacefully."

"It is a pity, however, that worldly affairs are impermanent, and fate plays tricks on people."

"Until one day, the Longevity Family found me and said they wanted to compensate me."

"And this was the beginning of a nightmare."

Speaking of this, there was an indescribable pain in Yao Xianer's expression.

Clearly, her life after being brought back to the Longevity Family was not good.

Seeing this, Gu Qingge pulled her into his arms, held her gently, and at the same time softly stroked her jade back.

Yao Xianer first felt a tingling sensation like an electric shock, then calmly accepted his comfort.

"Possessing two types of spirit bodies didn't make them value me, because their beloved daughter possessed a supreme holy body."

"This led to my days in the Family becoming increasingly difficult; it was like walking on thin ice, unable to take a single step."

"Seeing that you only have Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation now, it should be as you said."

Regarding this point, Gu Qingge would not doubt it.

In a super power like the Longevity Family, for someone of Yao Xianer's age to only have Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation was truly unjustifiable.

Even for trash with extremely poor talent, relying on the replenishment and accumulation of massive resources, it was easy to pile up a Golden Core Stage or even Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

This was under the premise of extremely poor talent, destined not to have many achievements in Cultivate.

If one were intelligent and talented, it was basically a certainty that they would become an existence that ordinary Cultivator would look up to for their entire lives.

"What if I were exceptionally talented, and in that remote region, I had once stepped into the Soul Transformation Stage as a prodigy? And this current Foundation Establishment Stage strength is the cultivation I have left after being harmed?"

Soul Transformation Stage?

Gu Qingge was slightly shocked and surprised in his heart, while at the same time pondering the truth of her words.

Looking at her expression, this matter seemed to not be fake at all.

"Biological doesn't beat adopted; actually, you could let them reunite in the human emperor banner and recount their Family affection." Gu Qingge enlightened her.

Even when facing a super power standing at the very Peak of the various regions, he remained calm and composed, as if he viewed them as nothing.

This left Yao Xianer dazed for a moment.

After coming back to her senses, she really wanted to lecture him and shout from the side.

That is the Longevity Family!

It is an existence that stands at the very Peak of this world, alongside other super powers like the Immortal Imperial Clans.

Yet in his words, they were like mere rabble that could be wiped out at will.

Could the Demonic Path Cultivator of this world all be this crazy?

"They wanted to use blood to replace blood, refining my soul to help their precious adopted daughter obtain the Longevity Family's Legacy."

"But how could I let them get their wish?"

"Therefore, I escaped from there in advance, dodging and hiding all the way, and eventually came to this Hundred Thousand Monster Mountain Range in Lingzhou."

"Because my cultivation was crippled, I cannot re-Cultivate the Cultivation Technique I practiced before."

"Here, this is the Ten Thousand Demon Soul Scripture." Gu Qingge took out a copied version of the Cultivation Technique at the right moment and handed it to Yao Xianer.

The Heavenly Demon Sect, founded by the Soul Transformation Stage Heavenly Demon Elder, was based on this Ten Thousand Demon Soul Scripture.

Anyone who reached the Inner Sect Disciple Rank of the Heavenly Demon Sect could Cultivate this Cultivation Technique.

Now that the Heavenly Demon Sect only had a few stray cats and dogs left, Gu Qingge didn't have many scruples and gave it to her directly.

"Sect Master is actually this generous?"

Yao Xianer had also heard a little about this Ten Thousand Demon Soul Scripture.

She knew deeply that the value of this item far exceeded what was shown on the surface.

As a Cultivation Technique for cultivating the core strength of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was like a cornerstone.

It emphasized inclusiveness, and it was also a method of Cultivate sufficient to support a Cultivator from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Because of confidence."

"And more because..."

"If Heaven had not given birth to me, Gu Qingge, the Demonic Path would be like an eternal night!"

Gu Qingge's brows slightly furrowed, and a supreme Divine Might burst forth from the inside out.

If Heaven had not given birth to me, Gu Qingge, the Demonic Path would be like an eternal night?

Yao Xianer chewed on this sentence in her mouth as if savoring it, and a flash of brilliance suddenly crossed her beautiful eyes.

She had an inexplicable feeling that it seemed this dashing and handsome man before her could really achieve everything he said!
