149: Bai Suying's life creed
“Greetings, Son of God…”
Wang Fan and the others stood at the foot of the mountain, and upon seeing Gu Qing and Bai Suying arrive, they immediately bowed respectfully.
He quickly glanced at Bai Suying, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
She was too beautiful.
Her skin was fair and radiant, with an enchanting glow.
She was like an immaculate, flawless Colored Glaze fairy.
She exuded an inherent aura of elegance and nobility; every movement, every frown, every smile, held infinite charm, as if she were the center of the world, involuntarily drawing everyone’s gaze.
Moreover, Bai Suying now seemed even more beautiful than before.
Between her brows, a hint of allure had been added, captivating to the heart.
Wang Fan’s heart pounded uncontrollably.
Seeing the two walk side by side, he couldn’t help but wonder, 'Could this be a heaven-blessed daughter on par with Gu Qing?'
Damn it, when would he be able to have a legitimate identity?
Wang Fan was now eager to break free from Luo Li and join the Star God Temple.
With his talent, becoming a True Disciple would definitely not be a problem.
If he could curry favor with Bai Suying, and ideally, become disciples of the same master as Bai Suying, that would be perfect.
That way, he could openly walk alongside Bai Suying.
“Detected that the child of destiny Wang Fan harbors malice towards the host and is plundering the host’s luck. Triggering Super Counter-Armor, counter-plundering Wang Fan of one hundred luck.”
Hearing the system’s broadcast, Gu Qing showed a meaningful smile and said softly, “Be careful with your words. I am not a Son of God yet.”
“Yes!”
“Gu Zhenchuan, please!”
In the lakeside pavilion, colorful lotus flowers bloomed, and the refreshing scent of lotus permeated the air, quiet and pleasant.
Luo Li, hearing that Gu Qing was coming, specially dressed up, changing into a light yellow long dress that concealed her sharpness, making her appear elegant, noble, and ethereal.
But the moment she saw Bai Suying, her face immediately darkened. She let out a cold snort, turned, and walked away, not wanting to hear Gu Qing’s nonsense.
She and Bai Suying were irreconcilable.
“Junior Sister, Su Ying is also innocent, why do you bear a grudge?”
Gu Qing asked, puzzled.
Bai Suying had no feelings for Luo Li’s imperial father and had even taken care of Luo Li multiple times.
Even if Luo Li wasn’t grateful, she shouldn’t be hostile towards Bai Suying, right?
One could only say that a villain is a villain, acting as they please; killing doesn't require a reason, everything is from the heart.
“So, should I continue to call her Imperial Mother?” Luo Li asked with a cold face.
Bai Suying was the mother of the nation, the mistress of the imperial harem, and the Imperial Mother of all princes and princesses.
Even when she pleaded with her imperial father countless times, she never received special treatment and had to resentfully call Bai Suying “Imperial Mother” for over a decade.
If Bai Suying hadn't been the Empress, then she wouldn't have been unable to bury the hatchet with Bai Suying and live in peace with her.
“No need at all!”
Bai Suying smiled and said, “I know you are unwilling to call me Imperial Mother, but worldly rules are such. Now that you and I are both cultivators, addressing each other as fellow disciples is sufficient.”
“In fact, I should call you Senior Sister.”
“You’ve become Master’s disciple?” Luo Li’s expression grew even worse.
“Yes, Su Ying greets Senior Sister.”
“Bah, you’re shameless, relying on seducing men to climb up.”
“When flowers bloom, butterflies come naturally. I can’t help it…”
“Shameless…”
“Senior Sister, you are mistaken…”
Gu Qing consciously sat down, propping his chin with one hand, watching the two peerless divine women argue with great interest.
It felt quite amusing.
As he watched, Gu Qing’s thoughts wandered, and he couldn’t help but fantasize.
If he were the emperor.
If both of them were his beloved concubines.
He wondered if they would fight, pulling each other’s hair?
Or perhaps rack their brains to please him?
Tsk tsk, that scene, just thinking about it was exciting.
Wang Fan and the others exchanged glances. What was happening that Luo Li’s domineering and imposing image was collapsing at this moment?
They didn’t understand.
Luo Li, who combined beauty and talent, was ruthless and deeply cunning. How could she also have such an ordinary side?
Such vulgar arguments and bickering between women shouldn’t appear on Luo Li’s person.
As their argument grew more intense, Wang Fan completely lost the mood to watch, feeling only heartbreak.
Such an ethereal fairy was actually the Empress of a nation.
While Wang Fan’s heart was breaking, he also felt an inexplicable surge of passion.
An elegant and noble beautiful woman was actually quite good too.
Furthermore, Wang Fan never expected that Bai Suying was actually Zhi Meng’s disciple.
This made his heart burn with eagerness, and various calculations popped into his mind.
“You’re shameless.”
Luo Li, losing the argument, became furious, her face flushed red.
“Bai Suying, you have no sense of shame! A married woman still comes to seduce Senior Brother; you are utterly shameless.”
“Your Imperial Father and I had a marriage in name only, merely a superficial couple, each taking what they needed. It is Gu Qing who fell in love with me at first sight, was captivated at second sight, became devoted at third sight, swore to be together in life and death at fourth sight, and at fifth sight…”
“You don’t know how much Gu Qing dotes on me. He can’t bear to be separated from me for a moment. When we return to the Cave, he won’t let me walk, afraid I’ll get tired, and insists on carrying me…”
Gu Qing: …Is that so?
How come he didn’t know?
By the way, you two can argue, but is it appropriate to drag him into it?
“Detected that the child of destiny Wang Fan harbors malice towards the host and is plundering the host’s luck. Triggering Super Counter-Armor, counter-plundering Wang Fan of one hundred luck.”
“Detected that…”
Wang Fan’s heart shattered into pieces, and he put on a mask of pain.
He could accept Bai Suying marrying, but he could not accept her marrying Gu Qing.
Thinking that both Su Qingyue and Bai Suying were Gu Qing’s Dao Companions, Wang Fan’s hatred for Gu Qing soared to the heavens.
He had finally believed in love one more time, but Gu Qing had made him lose completely once again.
Luo Li could be spared, but Gu Qing must die.
Wang Fan secretly swore with immense hatred.
Listening to the series of system broadcasts, Gu Qing felt speechless.
He had earned one or two more Dao Companions by his own ability, did Wang Fan really have to be so triggered?
“Gu Qing…”
Luo Li realized she couldn't out-argue Bai Suying, and her beautiful eyes, now filled with anger, glared at Gu Qing. She didn't even call him Senior Brother anymore, looking as if she would break off their friendship if he didn't give her an explanation.
Gu Qing: …You two can argue, but why are you shifting your anger to me?
I’m just a spectator.
You two continue.
Gu Qing silently picked up a pastry, elegantly lowered his gaze, and paid no attention to what was happening around him.
“Gu Qing, tell me, was it this shameless woman who seduced you first? You don’t take her seriously at all, do you?”
“You’re overthinking it…”
Bai Suying then remembered that Gu Qing was still there, and she frantically signaled with her eyes that if Gu Qing dared to embarrass her, he shouldn’t expect to get into her bed when they returned.
“Junior Sister, calm down.”
Gu Qing’s head ached. He had originally intended to be a peacemaker, to get Luo Li to stop being hostile towards Bai Suying.
Who knew that the two of them were actually incompatible?
“Hmph, prioritizing love over friendship.”
Luo Li understood, snorted coldly, and then asked.
“Then do you think I should let go of the past?” She looked at Gu Qing nervously.
Gu Qing was startled, then shook his head: “How could that be? Junior Sister, do whatever you want to do. I just hope you won’t target Su Ying anymore.”
Do not advise others to be kind without having experienced their suffering.
Gu Qing did not know what hardships Luo Li had endured, so he refrained from commenting.
“Alright! I know what to do.” Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief.
If Gu Qing had advised her to give up her hatred, she would have unhesitatingly chosen to break off their friendship with Gu Qing.
Her imperial concubine mother was tortured to death in the imperial prison, and tens of thousands of Luo clan members, from the elders and ancestors who doted on her to the young children who clung to her, were all executed.
Such a deep blood feud, she would never let go of.
She and the Luo imperial family would fight to the death.
It was impossible for her to give up because of a single sentence from Gu Qing.
Fortunately, Gu Qing was still the Gu Qing she knew, her kind of person.
It was just that Gu Qing was too lustful.
There were so many peerless beauties in the world, why did he have to fall for Bai Suying?
The more Luo Li thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She glared at Bai Suying, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of her sleeve.
“What does she mean?” Bai Suying was puzzled.
Gu Qing looked at Luo Li’s angry departing back, feeling that the ruthless female villain was almost becoming a grumbling monster.
Hearing Bai Suying’s question, Gu Qing thought for a moment and said, “She won’t target you anymore, but you also shouldn’t provoke her.”
Bai Suying nodded, sighing: “Actually, Luo Li was very innocent and cute when she was little, fair and plump, sweet and soft, with clear and innocent big eyes. She would smile foolishly at everyone she saw. I liked her the most.”
“It was just later, when the Luo family obtained a treasure that was coveted by the dog emperor.”
At this point, Bai Suying’s face darkened, and she said no more.
She also didn’t know what that treasure was, but for the dog emperor to be so ruthless and frantically torture and interrogate Consort Luo, that treasure must not have been simple.
At that time, she also wanted to save Consort Luo, but the dog emperor was determined to obtain that mysterious treasure.
If she hadn’t kept Luo Li by her side, Luo Li probably wouldn’t have escaped harm.
But this was also the most regrettable thing she had ever done.
She saved Luo Li, but Luo Li repaid her kindness with enmity.
She dug out Ye Hao’s Supreme Bone, and even tried to kill her.
Bai Suying really couldn’t understand why a once innocent child would become so heartless.
Even if she wanted revenge, she should have gone after the dog emperor, right?
What did it have to do with her?
“Everyone has their own aspirations. Let the past be the past. Just don’t mind her anymore.” Gu Qing was silent for a moment, then patted her back.
“Mm!” Bai Suying nodded thoughtfully.
After the incident with Luo Li, she henceforth adopted a life motto: never meddle in others’ affairs.
Let flowers be flowers, and trees be trees.
However, she also had to thank Luo Li.
If it weren’t for Luo Li, she wouldn’t have met the little rascal.
Thinking this, Bai Suying’s beautiful eyes moistened, and she looked at Gu Qing with tenderness, truly wonderful.
“Let’s go! You go back first, I have something to discuss with the Temple Master.”
With the matter resolved, Gu Qing no longer wanted to stay there.
He also wondered if Jiang Yu had finished refining his divine artifact.
If it were anyone else, it would certainly not be possible so quickly.
After all, refining a divine artifact, even for a peak Divine Fire Realm cultivator, would take hundreds or thousands of years.
But Jiang Yu was a super expert who had lived for seventeen years; as long as she was willing, she was omnipotent.
“Hmph!”
Bai Suying’s tender, watery eyes instantly filled with anger, she snorted coldly, and left with a flick of her sleeve.
Gu Qing: …He rubbed his chin, not understanding why Bai Suying suddenly turned cold.
“Truly inexplicable…”
