353: Men love to conquer their enemies' wives, daughters, and mothers.

Gu Qing arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest.

The entire Purple Bamboo Forest was protected by a formation, and Shu Ying also guarded it.

This formation was set up by Xi Ling, mainly because she was afraid that Gu Qing would find out she had Heavenly Dao Essence and shamelessly snatch it away.

"Young Master!"

Shu Ying was overjoyed. The Young Master had ignored the Young Miss for so long, and finally thought to come see her.

"Mhm, let her come out," Gu Qing hummed, looking at the voluptuous and beautiful Shu Ying, and said.

"Young Master, please wait a moment."

Shu Ying immediately sent a message, then activated the calling formation to wake Xi Ling, who was in seclusion.

Of course, if one was in deep seclusion or immersed in enlightenment, the calling formation wouldn't be able to wake them.

Unless the forced summoning formation was activated.

But no one would do that unless they encountered a life-or-death crisis.

"Young Master, Young Miss is awake. Please go in."

Shu Ying happily opened the formation but did not enter herself.

"It's no wonder Xi Ling kept them," Gu Qing thought to himself.

These four were too loyal to Xi Ling.

Shu Ying had already had a relationship with him, but it was as if nothing had happened.

She hadn't overstepped her bounds all these years.

If it were an ordinary person, having experienced the might of his physique and known the wonders of dual cultivation, they would surely want a proper title.

They would want to break through to a higher realm or bear his children to rise in status.

But these four hadn't done any of that.

They silently guarded Xi Ling, willing to be mere maidservants.

Entering the Purple Bamboo Forest, Gu Qing saw Xi Ling wearing a loose, simple long dress, which was completely unfitting for her peerless and graceful temperament.

It was like a goddess wearing mortal clothes.

However, it still couldn't hide her noble and ethereal aura.

"Nannan, what kind of act is this?"

Gu Qing's gaze was playful.

Did she think that by dressing simply, he would lose interest in her?

Heh, naive.

"No, Brother, I've been in seclusion. It's just that I heard you came, so I couldn't wait to see you, Brother."

Xi Ling lowered her eyes obediently, looking docile, her voice soft and weak, a sweet, cloying tone that sounded awkward no matter how he heard it.

"Heh, affected!"

Gu Qing outwardly commented with disdain, but inwardly, he was delighted.

He used to hate cloying voices, but after meeting Xi Ling, he suddenly realized how delightful they were!

"..."

A slight crack appeared on Xi Ling's beautiful face, her heart was filled with shame, and her cheeks were flushed.

The little person in her mind was going crazy.

She was a cold, domineering, ruthless, and bloodthirsty peerless goddess.

But to escape Gu Qing's demonic clutches, she had to pretend to be a little green tea, hoping to make Gu Qing dislike her.

Now that her goal was achieved, Gu Qing's comment about her being affected almost made her lose her composure.

"But I like you. No matter what you're like, this old man loves you very much."

Gu Qing scooped her up horizontally.

"Ah, ah, ah... I'm going to be treated like a dish again. Gu Qing, you dog, just you wait. The humiliation you've brought me, I will surely return it a hundredfold in the future."

Xi Ling screamed internally, but outwardly, she dared not show the slightest bit, acting soft and delicate like a little wife.

Because she had already summed up her experience: the more she resisted, the more excited Gu Qing, that dog, became.

The more he would torment and toy with her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Qing glanced at her, his gaze playful.

"..."

Xi Ling froze, then poked her head out and saw that Gu Qing was about to carry her out of the Purple Bamboo Forest. Her face immediately turned crimson.

"What are you thinking? What are you anticipating? What do you want?" Gu Qing whispered close to her ear.

Hearing Gu Qing's three consecutive questions, Xi Ling's face turned beet red, feeling as if it were on fire.

She angrily punched him, then buried her face in his chest, too embarrassed to face anyone.

"Haha, I just wanted to take you out for a trip, but you, my dear sister, want me to exert myself. You wish!"

"However, if Nannan begs this old man, and this old man is happy, it's not impossible to satisfy Nannan."

"Ah, ah, ah, you bastard... I'll bite you to death."

Xi Ling shrieked, completely losing her composure, and bit his arm.

She had never seen such an abominable person.

Shu Ying, waiting outside the door, sighed, thinking how formidable the Young Master was, completely dominating their mischievous Young Miss.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Shu Ying asked.

"To kill people."

Jiang Yu had dealt with the Immortal Kings, but those families and sects who dared to rob the Starry Sky Commerce Association must also die.

He didn't want to let a single one go.

Bringing Xi Ling was just to tell the outside world that Xi Ling was his woman.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't exert yourself?"

Entering the Time-Space Shuttle, Xi Ling was stunned to see Gu Qing carrying her directly to the room.

"This old man thought so, but since Nannan requested it, this old man can only sacrifice his life to accompany his wife."

Gu Qing did not intend to spare anyone who took advantage of the situation.

He pushed through, and the minor minions didn't need him to act; he let Hong Lan and the other three handle them.

He had to deal with the Profound Gods.

"You bastard! I hate you so much!" Xi Ling lost her composure again.

It was bad enough to treat her like a dish; she accepted it since her strength was inferior.

But why did he have to mock her?

This was too much bullying... "Boom!"

"What's going on?"

"Immortal Emperor!"

On this day, everyone looked up at the sky, their expressions filled with terror.

An supreme divine might permeated every corner of the Immortal Realm, like a vast heavenly might, filling people with fear from the bottom of their hearts.

All living beings in the Immortal Realm saw a figure, seemingly far away in the sky, yet also right before their eyes.

It was as if it was an existence transcending everything, merging with time, merging with space, and merging with all the Great Daos of heaven and earth.

The figure seemed to be the master of heaven and earth, the creator, possessing an unspeakable divine might.

Immortal Emperor.

The living beings had never seen an Immortal Emperor, but they could be sure that this figure was definitely an Immortal Emperor.

With a bang, the entire Immortal Realm, including time and space, trembled violently with the loud noise.

As if it was about to shatter.

"How could she have a divine ability sealed by an Immortal Emperor?" Immortal King Ziyang's cold sweat poured down.

Although he was an Immortal King, the uncrowned king of the Immortal Realm, the master of all living beings, and transcendent in the world.

However, facing an Immortal Emperor's divine ability, he was still powerless to resist in the slightest.

"The four fellow Daoists have already perished, which is good. It's a matter of life and death, she shouldn't have a second Immortal Emperor sealed divine ability, right?"

"Not sure, let's observe for a while longer."

Immortal King Ziyang decided that he would not act rashly until he was certain whether Jiang Yu had a second Immortal Emperor sealed divine ability.

After all, one slip-up could lead to death, the destruction of one's Dao, and the obliteration of one's soul.

"Hahaha, as expected, I knew that if you walk at night too often, you'll always encounter ghosts. Those who kill will eventually be killed."

"And you still wanted to invite me to conspire for good fortune, utterly absurd. Since Jiang Yu and the two others dared to display their good fortune, they weren't afraid of it being snatched."

"Cough cough cough!"

Shi Jin Chang laughed heartily, his expression utterly joyful, but in an instant, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, his face pale, his aura chaotic and weak.

"Old Ancestor, are you alright?" Shi Jingqiong was greatly alarmed.

Immortal King Jin Chang was the Shi family's pillar of strength. Once he met with misfortune, the entire Shi family would fall apart, facing a disaster of clan extermination.

"I'm fine. This venerable one doesn't have much time left. I can only last for a month at most."

Shi Jin Chang waved his hand, his expression suddenly filled with boundless sorrow: "To think I was also an Immortal King giant, dominating the Immortal Realm for hundreds of millions of years, yet I couldn't defeat a wisp of the ancient Dragon Emperor's obsession. Immortal Emperors are truly terrifying."

He and several other Immortal Kings entered the Burial Dragon Forbidden Ground together to snatch dragon bones, but unexpectedly, they were all injured by a wisp of the Dragon Emperor's obsession.

Although he escaped with his life, he suffered a Dao injury that constantly eroded his vitality. His Dao fruit was disintegrating, and he was beyond saving.

His demise was only a matter of time.

"Alas, I regret not listening to Fellow Daoist He Guang. Fellow Daoist He Guang truly deserves to die!" Shi Jin Chang secretly resented, regretting his past actions.

At that time, when he heard Immortal King He Guang say that moving the Dragon Emperor's skeleton was a great disrespect, he scoffed at it.

He thought scholars were indeed pedantic and unbearable.

Now it seemed that Immortal King He Guang was not pedantic at all; he clearly knew that the dragon bones contained the Dragon Emperor's obsession and dared not take the risk.

Yet, he didn't explain it clearly, causing his own death and the destruction of his Dao. He was truly detestable to the extreme.

"Old Ancestor, you will definitely be alright." Shi Jingqiong was deeply saddened and at a loss.

If the Immortal King Old Ancestor perished, she didn't know what the Shi family would do.

Immortal Kings didn't think much of the Shi family, but Profound God forces would definitely not let the Shi family go.

There wasn't a single Profound God who didn't covet Immortal King cultivation techniques and divine abilities.

Although their Shi family wasn't afraid of any single Profound God force, they feared them uniting.

It was foreseeable that without Shi Jin Chang's protection, the Shi family would rapidly decline.

"Jingqiong, tell me, what is your relationship with Gu Qing, and does he favor you?"

Shi Jin Chang asked.

Although Shi Jingqiong was married, her relationship with Chu Nan was well-known: they had the name of husband and wife but no marital reality.

He originally thought that Shi Jingqiong and Gu Qing were in love, but after waiting so many years, Shi Jingqiong hadn't sought a divorce, nor had Gu Qing come to see her.

"Yes!" Shi Jingqiong said.

"Then..."

"Old Ancestor, you don't know, A Qing believes that Chu Nan is not an ordinary person and has a great secret, so he won't let me go and divorce him on my own."

"And he has been busy managing the sect and cultivating all these years, so I didn't disturb him."

Shi Jingqiong slowly said.

She also wanted to get a divorce, but Gu Qing wouldn't allow it, so what could she do?

"Is that so..." Shi Jin Chang murmured, looking at the peerlessly beautiful Shi Jingqiong, and suddenly understood.

Chu Nan being extraordinary was probably not an excuse; the main reason was that he was reluctant to let go of Shi Jingqiong's status as a married woman, wasn't it?

Men, they love to conquer the wives, daughters, and mothers of their enemies the most.

Thinking of this, Shi Jin Chang felt relieved and waved his hand: "You may withdraw. He's right, Chu Nan is extraordinary, you must not divorce him."

"Ah?"

Shi Jingqiong was bewildered.

When Gu Qing said Chu Nan was extraordinary, she was half-skeptical.

But now that the Old Ancestor also said so, could Chu Nan, who spent his days in brothels, truly be extraordinary?

It seemed this marriage truly couldn't be dissolved.

However, dragging it on like this wasn't a solution either.

Shi Jingqiong thought for a moment and decided to go ask Gu Qing for clarification.
