139: Junior sister wants to be a goddess? Yes, junior sister, when will we become a Taoist partner?
“Senior Brother...”
As soon as Gu Qing entered Saintess Peak, Su Qingyue rushed over with a fragrant breeze.
After so many years apart, seeing each other again, the excitement in Su Qingyue’s eyes was almost overflowing.
“Hmm, Qingyue has gotten even prettier!” Gu Qing pinched her fair, delicate face, which was soft, smooth, and bouncy—he wanted to pinch it again.
“Mmm! Senior Brother!”
Su Qingyue’s cheeks were pulled, and she called out indistinctly, her beautiful eyes filled with joyful smiles.
“Detected the child of destiny, Wang Fan, harboring malice towards the host, currently plundering the host’s luck, triggering Super Counter-Armor, counter-plundering Wang Fan of one hundred luck.”
Gu Qing turned his head to look.
In the pavilion, Luo Li couldn’t bear to watch, lowering her eyes to drink tea.
Her followers behind her also dared not look.
Only Wang Fan’s expression was full of resentment and jealousy, with a burning fury in his heart.
The first time he saw Su Qingyue, he was stunned by her beauty.
Su Qingyue’s cool temperament and flawless, divine beauty were like an ethereal immortal, incredibly exquisite.
Inevitably, Wang Fan developed feelings of admiration for Su Qingyue.
Moreover, Su Qingyue was Luo Li’s Senior Sister, a being about to be crowned as a Goddess.
If he could gain Su Qingyue’s favor, then what kind of lackey would he be?
He could directly confront Luo Li.
He could use Su Qingyue to avenge the Wang family.
However, now, his revenge plan was stillborn before it even began.
Su Qingyue was actually Gu Qing’s Dao Companion; how could such a noble and cool immortal become a plaything for a demon like Gu Qing?
He could not accept it.
He finally felt his heart stir once, but the cruel heavens made him lose completely.
Pain, too much pain.
Having lost his love, everything around him felt desolate.
Wang Fan no longer believed in love.
While lost in wild thoughts, when Gu Qing turned to look, Wang Fan flinched in fear, quickly lowered his head, feeling terrified.
He had witnessed how ruthless Gu Qing was; if Gu Qing harbored killing intent towards him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and did not intend to bother with Wang Fan, as it was not easy to find a child of destiny that could be raised.
Gu Qing lightly pecked Su Qingyue’s smooth forehead and chuckled, “Qingyue is too beautiful, like a star in the night sky. It seems I’ll have to keep a close eye on you from now on, lest someone abduct you, and I...”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Su Qingyue playfully punched his chest, her voice a soft scolding, but her heart was delighted.
Her sparkling, beautiful eyes were bright and full of charm, as if they could speak, seemingly signaling Gu Qing to say more if he had more to say.
“Senior Brother...” Luo Li spoke up, displeased. She had truly had enough.
What kind of behavior was this, being so affectionate in public?
How was she, an independent, self-reliant, and beautiful young woman, supposed to feel?
Was it easy for her to cut off all emotions and love?
Looking at Gu Qing, a hint of resentment appeared in Luo Li’s phoenix eyes.
Gu Qing smiled, patted Su Qingyue’s back, and sat down opposite Luo Li.
“Junior Sister, I need your help with something...”
Actually, Gu Qing could have used the Calamity Black Dragon’s curse, but doing so would easily alarm the Divine Fire Realm ancestors of the Star God Temple.
After all, Fu Youcai’s position in the Star God Temple was not low.
Moreover, with Lin Xuan, a child of destiny, around, startling the snake and making Lin Xuan wary would be disadvantageous.
So, asking Luo Li was the most suitable option.
Raising troops for a thousand days, using them for an hour.
Having nurtured Luo Li for so long, it was time for her to do something.
Luo Li was a great villain with destiny; perhaps she wasn’t good at dealing with protagonists, but against ordinary people, it was an easy slaughter.
“This... I can, but I need time.”
When Luo Li heard that Gu Qing needed her help, she was overjoyed.
After all, Gu Qing had so many people he could ask, so why did he choose her?
This must be because she was powerful and resourceful, and Gu Qing trusted her immensely.
However, after hearing Gu Qing’s request, Luo Li frowned.
Killing a Saint’s son and disciple, and the opponent was also a ninth-grade Alchemist.
This was truly not something an ordinary person could do... Luo Li pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
The status of an Alchemist was indeed very high, and Alchemists would not engage in life-and-death battles with others. It was incredibly difficult to reasonably eliminate Fu Youcai’s disciple and son.
But this wouldn’t stump her.
It just required time to plan.
“Can’t it be faster? If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility.” Gu Qing didn’t want to wait a moment longer.
A gentleman’s revenge is never too late.
“Alright!”
Luo Li gritted her teeth and agreed. Killing a few Alchemists with little combat power, wouldn’t that be easy?
The main concern was being held accountable and targeted by Fu Youcai.
But since Gu Qing was willing to back her up, there was nothing to worry about.
Gu Qing finally asked her for a favor; she absolutely could not mess it up.
Thinking this, Luo Li raised her eyes, looking at Gu Qing with a serious and earnest expression, and frankly stated, “Senior Brother, I also want to be a Goddess.”
“Logically, Senior Sister is your Dao Companion, so I shouldn’t compete with her, but as cultivators, we inherently defy the heavens, contend for luck with heaven and earth, and fight for destiny with others. I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”
Facing the person she cherished, Luo Li did not want to use any schemes or tricks.
Whether Gu Qing agreed or not, she would still fight for it.
“You...”
Gu Qing looked at Luo Li with a strange gaze, scrutinizing her up and down, as if re- knowing Luo Li.
This shouldn’t be.
Luo Li was a great villain who had cut off all emotions and love, so why would she want to be a Goddess?
Didn’t she know that the God Child and Goddess had to cultivate the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record together?
“Senior Brother...”
Luo Li’s serious expression completely crumbled, a hint of annoyance in her tone.
What did Gu Qing’s strange gaze and his hesitant manner mean?
“Hoo!”
Seeing this, Gu Qing finally confirmed something, took a deep breath, and said with a playful smile, “Of course, I support you. Indeed, no one is more suitable to be a Goddess than you.”
“Is that true?” Luo Li didn’t expect Gu Qing to agree so easily, making her somewhat disbelieving.
“It’s true!”
Gu Qing nodded, smiling, “However, once you become a Goddess, you cannot go back on your word. If you have made up your mind, I will go talk to the Hall Master and the ancestors about it.”
Hearing this, Luo Li felt an ecstatic joy, like being hit by a pie from the sky, feeling unreal as if in a dream.
After all, Gu Qing and Su Qingyue were Dao Companions.
She had already planned how to persuade Gu Qing and offer Su Qingyue some compensation.
But now, she didn’t have to do anything.
Gu Qing was even paving the way for her; what was this if not a dream?
“I’ve made up my mind!” Luo Li nodded firmly.
Clever as she was, she quickly realized that being a Goddess might not be easy, which was why Gu Qing was unwilling to let Su Qingyue be crowned.
However, this was nothing to her.
If Zhi Meng could be a Goddess, so could she.
Luo Li was never afraid of hardship or difficulty.
The position of Goddess was even more revered than that of the Hall Master. Not only could she access all the cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and secret arts of the temple, but she could also extensively use heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
She had no reason to give it up.
“Good!”
Gu Qing smiled playfully and said, “Then, Junior Sister, when do you plan to become my Dao Companion?”
“Wh-what???”
Hearing the words “Dao Companion,” Luo Li’s hand, holding the teacup, trembled uncontrollably.
Luo Li’s followers behind her were also stunned.
The God Child and Goddess were actually going to become Dao Companions?
Please don’t agree!
Luo Li’s followers became anxious.
Luo Li was the only god in their hearts.
Although Luo Li was ruthless and killed countless people, the cultivation world was inherently a place where the strong preyed on the weak, with no distinction between good and evil.
Everything was merely for the sake of attaining immortality and eternal freedom.
Undoubtedly, Luo Li’s power and ruthlessness only made them more determined to follow in her footsteps.
And Luo Li’s beauty made them completely infatuated.
If Luo Li became Gu Qing’s Dao Companion, it would be the fall of a god; they could not accept it and felt they would go mad.
“Senior Brother, you’re joking, right?”
Luo Li’s voice trembled as she forced out a smile.
“I never joke.”
Gu Qing said seriously, “Since ancient times, the God Child and Goddess have always been Dao Companions. Our Master also had a Dao Companion, but she was later killed by Master.”
“If Junior Sister doesn’t want to be my Dao Companion, but still wants to be a Goddess, you might consider emulating Master.”
Gu Qing’s last sentence was entirely a joke.
Luo Li’s expression kept changing.
She had never heard that a Goddess had to marry a God Child.
Actually, it was normal for her not to have heard of it.
Luo Li joined halfway and did not go through the basic education of the Star God Temple.
Moreover, Luo Li was not valued by Zhi Meng and had not received guidance from the elders.
The God Child and Goddess held supreme status; no one dared to casually discuss them.
Coupled with Zhi Meng killing the God Child, this matter had almost become a taboo.
Wang Fan and his followers exchanged glances, their eyes flickering.
Clearly, they took Gu Qing’s last sentence seriously and kept it in mind.
Gu Qing glanced at these people, took a sip of tea, and leisurely said,
“Junior Sister, do you know about the Taiyin Sun Chaos Record?”
“I don’t know!” Luo Li shook her head.
Since joining the Star God Temple, after Zhi Meng taught her the Starry Sky Dao Scripture, she hadn’t paid much attention to cultivation techniques.
After all, she already possessed a heaven-defying cultivation technique, and with the addition of the Starry Sky Dao Scripture, it was enough for her cultivation.
If she were to cultivate other techniques, it would inevitably slow down her cultivation speed, leading to being broad but not refined.
Therefore, Luo Li focused primarily on cultivation insights and divine abilities and secret arts, accumulating her foundation.
