362: Queen of Business, don't even think about making me lose completely

"Brother, that's enough!"

"Just a little longer."

"Scram!"

Shi Jingqiong kicked him away, her beautiful eyes filled with fury, completely devoid of the previous doting affection she had for Gu Qing.

After three consecutive days of this, she was truly fed up.

Gu Qing pointed and said, "Sister, you don't love me anymore. Sure enough, women are all big pig trotters; once they have something, they don't know how to cherish it."

Shi Jingqiong pressed her hand to her forehead, regretting it immensely.

She had initially thought Gu Qing was a proper person, as aloof as the bright moon in the sky, like a deity from the Nine Heavens, untouched by mortal affairs.

Therefore, she had spoken softly and gently, showing extreme tenderness and comfort, wanting to thoroughly bully and desecrate a god.

Who knew, although, she succeeded.

But her Profound Mystery Body was no match at all, and she was tormented beyond endurance.

The Innate Divine Origin was indeed not an empty reputation.

Shi Jingqiong felt that if she continued to be tormented, she would die in various ways.

"Alright, brother, don't be angry. Sister has important matters to attend to. How about I accompany you another day?"

Looking at the angry Gu Qing, Shi Jingqiong lovingly pulled him into her embrace to comfort him, her beautiful autumn-water eyes shimmering with an enchanting ripple.

"But I still want to eat..."

"No, you don't."

"Let's go, we're going out. Mother is getting impatient!"

Shi Jingqiong forcefully interrupted Gu Qing and dressed herself neatly.

The moment she stepped out of the room, she took a deep breath, feeling as if she had come back to life.

Her exquisite beauty was adorned with a charming smile, and a faint blush colored her fair, tender cheeks, making her more beautiful than any flower.

This indicated that it was definitely not just the sun shining on her face.

Shi Jingqiong's beautiful eyes swirled, shimmering like water, exuding an indescribable allure.

She softly said, "Brother, let's discuss something."

"What is it?"

"Promise me first, don't get angry."

Shi Jingqiong's eyes flickered as she spoke gently.

She didn't want to marry, nor did she want to live by relying on a man.

Even more, she didn't want to compete for affection with Gu Qing's women.

Shi Jingqiong had her own ambitions and ideals: to become an independent and strong woman.

To control the Shi family and make it prosper.

Once married, she would not be able to control the Shi family and would only become a parasitic dodder flower to Gu Qing.

"Okay, tell me!" Gu Qing was in a good mood and agreed without much thought upon hearing this.

"It's just... it's just, can we not make our relationship public?"

Shi Jingqiong looked at Gu Qing's peerlessly handsome profile with a nervous expression and spoke in a low voice.

"What?"

"You want to abandon me after having your way, and not acknowledge me once you're dressed?"

Gu Qing was furious.

"No, no, brother, listen to my explanation!"

"I just don't want to live under your wing. Besides, the Shi family is currently in turmoil and needs a patriarch with enough influence to lead the clan out of this crisis."

Shi Jingqiong hastily explained, her jade hand caressing Gu Qing's handsome face: "Brother is so handsome, how could I bear to abandon you? You can come to me anytime."

Although men are good, career and dreams are more important.

She wanted to become the Empress of Commerce in the Immortal Realm, gathering all the wealth of the world, commanding the winds and rains, and influencing the great trends of the Immortal Realm.

"You want to keep me as a toy?" Gu Qing was utterly speechless.

Why did neither the heroines nor the female villains want to be his legitimate wife or Dao companion?

Was his charm not enough?

Or was he not satisfying the heroines' needs?

"Not at all, it's clearly brother keeping sister as a toy."

Shi Jingqiong playfully punched his chest, her eyes like silk, feigning annoyance.

"Heh, sister, don't try to deceive me. A beauty trap is useless against me." Gu Qing's face was cold.

He wouldn't let this fleeting romance lead to his complete defeat.

Shi Jingqiong's beautiful eyes swirled. She bit her silver teeth, then suddenly leaned close to Gu Qing's ear and whispered softly.

After much persuasion, which made her face flush, she finally saw Gu Qing nod.

Shi Jingqiong breathed a sigh of relief.

To appease the young man, she had truly made a great sacrifice.

"Let's go! Chu Nan is still waiting outside."

Opening the protective formation of the courtyard, the sound of slaps immediately entered their ears.

Gu Qing's expression was strange.

That sound was truly something else.

Shi Jingqiong's expression was also extremely unnatural, and she shouted, "Stop, no more hitting."

She was annoyed by that sound now.

"Wife, he didn't threaten you, did he?"

Chu Nan's cheeks were swollen, and upon hearing Shi Jingqiong's voice, his heart filled with joy.

Although he and Shi Jingqiong had only met a few times, and Shi Jingqiong didn't acknowledge him as her husband.

She had always protected him.

His monthly stipend was given by Shi Jingqiong.

She was a good wife, cold on the outside but warm on the inside!

Even though she was married to a good-for-nothing like him, she protected him to the utmost.

Chu Nan swore that if Gu Qing dared to threaten Shi Jingqiong, he would kill Gu Qing at all costs, even if it meant searching the heavens and the underworld.

"Chu Nan, what nonsense are you spouting? This is a distinguished guest I painstakingly invited. If you dare to offend him, you can get out of the Shi family."

Shi Jingqiong's voice was stern and scolding, her gaze at Chu Nan filled with disgust.

Chu Nan, as the reincarnation of an Immortal King, possessed an Immortal King Dao Fruit and could restore his previous cultivation at any time.

Yet, he was so humble and spineless, worse than a common mortal.

Even if such a person were an Immortal Emperor, she would look down on him.

However, Chu Nan's cultivation was there; no matter how much she looked down on him, he was still an Immortal King giant.

Hearing Chu Nan's threatening words, Shi Jingqiong became incredibly nervous, fearing that Chu Nan would act against Gu Qing, and immediately used divorce as a threat.

"What distinguished guest?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Chu Nan's eyes.

Let alone Gu Qing being just a Profound God, even if he were an Immortal King giant, he would still kill him without hesitation.

Chu Nan suspected that Yu Qing might be the son of an Immortal King, but was there an Immortal King named Yu in the Immortal Realm? No.

Then Yu Qing was very likely a disciple of an Immortal King.

Although such a status was very noble, to him, it was merely an ant that could be easily crushed.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan's mouth curved upwards, but with his face beaten into such a state, his expression looked comical no matter how one saw it.

"It's none of your business. Go down. The Shi family is not peaceful lately, don't go out drinking in brothels."

Shi Jingqiong waved her hand.

Her dismissive gesture, like shooing a fly, seemed utterly adorable in Chu Nan's eyes.

Shi Jingqiong truly still cared about him.

Knowing that Shi Jin Chang was about to fall and the Shi family might face a great change, she was doing her best to protect him.

It's just... Shi Jingqiong would never know that he was an Immortal King, a Reincarnated Heavenly War God, and didn't need protection at all.

He swore that he would definitely protect the Shi family, his wife, and his mother-in-law, and never let them suffer even a hint of harm.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan's mouth curved upwards. He said, "Alright," and left leisurely.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at Gu Qing.

As soon as he discovered any malicious intent from Gu Qing towards Shi Jingqiong, he would make Gu Qing regret coming into this world.

Gu Qing also smiled back at him, then glanced at the system message with a puzzled expression.

Chu Nan had developed malice towards him, yet he hadn't plundered any of Chu Nan's luck.

"Host, he has already discovered that his luck is being lost and has used a secret technique to suppress his luck with the Reversing Fate Pearl," the system explained.

"Does that mean I won't be able to plunder his luck anymore?" Gu Qing's expression darkened slightly.

Chu Nan was definitely the best fat sheep to cultivate.

With the Reversing Fate Pearl in hand, Chu Nan could quickly and domineeringly plunder the luck of others.

With Shi Jingqiong and Shu Miaohua in hand, he could easily plunder Chu Nan's luck.

"That's not it. Using the secret technique has a very significant impact on him. He cannot cultivate, nor can he rely on the Reversing Fate Pearl to plunder others' destinies and talents, so he will soon undo the secret technique."

"That's good then!"

Gu Qing nodded slightly, bid farewell to Shi Jingqiong, and flashed to an uninhabited place.

Before Qianji Laoren could arrive, Gu Qing sacrificed the Time-Space Shuttle and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

In fact, Gu Qing was perfectly capable of killing Qianji Laoren.

But such a good tool-person could help Shi Jingqiong deal with many troubles.

Gu Qing was a bit reluctant to kill him.

He'd keep him for now.

It wouldn't be too late to kill him when he became useless or could no longer secretly help Shi Jingqiong.

"System, I killed Qin Shou, and I think I got an Immortal King-level Innate Dragon Pearl and a Dragon Ring, right?"

"Where did I put them?"

Gu Qing rubbed his forehead, troubled.

Too many treasures were sometimes not a good thing.

He had no idea where he had thrown that Dragon Pearl.

After all, at that time, he had Xuan Huang Mother Qi and an Innate Spirit Treasure, so he had no use for an Innate Dragon Pearl.

The so-called Innate Dragon Pearl was a Dragon Pearl condensed from an Innate True Dragon with an Innate Origin.

It gathered all the essence of the True Dragon.

It was also a very powerful and mysterious Immortal King Artifact.

If obtained by the Dragon Clan, they could definitely use it to break through to Immortal King.

If obtained by cultivators of the myriad races, they could also use it to become a pseudo-Immortal King, and if their comprehension was good enough, they might break through to a true Immortal King.

Gu Qing didn't plan to use the Dragon Pearl to attain the Dao of an Immortal King.

But he could completely give it to the Calamity Black Dragon to devour.

Perhaps it could break through to Immortal King.

Such a precious treasure, giving it to the Calamity Black Dragon felt a bit wasteful.

Because when he broke through to Immortal King, the Calamity Black Dragon could also synchronously break through to Immortal King.

However, with all the kings currently coveting, the situation was not optimistic, and Jiang Yu was not here, nor did he know when she would return.

Gu Qing couldn't care so much anymore.

Improving his strength was the priority.
