385: The little baby can only starve first

At this moment, Gu Qing was experiencing an immense headache.

The two little snowballs were even more voracious than a glutton.

Dozens of Heavenly God Realm demonic beasts were cooked, and two Profound God demonic beasts were cooked, yet they still weren't full.

Divine offspring having immense cultivation upon reaching adulthood truly wasn't without reason.

At this rate of eating, anyone who consumed it would gain immense cultivation; of course, the prerequisite was being able to digest it.

Those with weaker physiques simply couldn't digest much, and most of it would be wasted, constrained by their physique, which is the so-called life gene lock.

The better the physique and bloodline, the more they could digest.

But even Divine Beasts have a limit.

Previously, Xian'er and Yan'er also had one, reaching their peak at Divine King.

But now, Gu Qing didn't know what their limit was.

“This can't go on,” Gu Qing thought to himself, watching the two devour their food.

The Boundless Divine Sect simply didn't have that many demonic beasts, and capturing them from the outside… the amount needed was too great, too troublesome.

Might as well… let them go hungry.

It wasn't their mother's fault for not taking care of them or leaving any Chaotic Origin Fluid, so they could only go hungry for now.

Anyway, no matter how much they ate, it wouldn't be enough to fill their boundless little bellies.

Unless they captured Immortal King-level demonic beasts, but where in the world were there so many Immortal King demonic beasts?

Thinking this, Gu Qing picked up the two little ones, coaxing and tricking them into absorbing Immortal Source Qi to sustain themselves.

And he forbade them from displaying Divine King cultivation, allowing them to only display Divine Fire Realm cultivation at most.

After all, they were his daughters; if the outside world knew they were both Divine Kings…

It was highly likely that all Immortal Kings in the Immortal Realm would go mad, banding together to attack the Boundless Divine Sect regardless of the consequences.

After doing all this, Gu Qing handed the two little ones over to Shu Ying and Yi Tang.

The two had raised Xi Ling for nine generations; when it came to raising children, they were the professionals.

“I'll leave them to you two!”

Occasionally taking care of children was fine, but Gu Qing didn't have the patience to do it every day.

“No trouble at all!”

“We couldn't be happier!”

Finally holding the adorable little ones they had longed for, the two were incredibly excited, each quickly taking one.

With great tacit understanding, they carried the babies and left in a hurry, as if fearing Gu Qing would change his mind, leaving only their backs to Gu Qing.

“Yan'er, Xian'er, what's wrong with you two?”

“Did your dad bully you again?”

Back in the courtyard, they saw the two looking dejected.

Especially Yan'er, her big eyes welled up with tears, on the verge of falling, looking incredibly pitiful.

Yi Tang and Shu Ying's hearts broke at the sight.

“Bad Daddy said there won't be any more demonic beasts to eat, bad Daddy wants us to eat Immortal Source Qi, Daddy is too bad,” Xian'er complained, feeling wronged.

Yan'er, who usually fiercely defended Gu Qing, moved her small lips, wanting to argue for her father, but ultimately didn't speak.

“What?”

Hearing this, the two immediately became furious.

Children eating was a great thing, yet Gu Qing wouldn't let them eat.

Could it be that Gu Qing had gone mad?

“The young master is truly… truly hateful.”

“It's too much, to cruelly make his daughters eat air. How can the young master be a father?”

The two were incredibly angry, cursing indignantly.

“Yan'er, Xian'er, don't cry.”

“If your dad won't let you eat, Aunt Shu and Aunt Tang will, we promise to make sure you eat your fill every day.”

The two lovingly stroked the babies' little heads.

They immediately sent a message, instructing people to prepare various ingredients.

Fearing that the two little darlings couldn't wait, Shu Ying rushed off to capture demonic beasts raised in the sect's enclosures.

It's worth mentioning that all four of them were mid-to-high-level Immortal Alchemists and high-level Spirit Chefs.

They were also proficient in artifact refining, talisman drawing, and array formation.

After all, having lived for millions of years, they possessed countless skills.

As for how to cook delicious and nourishing food, it was simply second nature to them.

Gu Qing, seated in the Limitless Palace, heard their curses and shook his head helplessly.

Once the two learned of Yan'er and Xian'er's appetites, they would understand his painstaking efforts.

“In the past decade or so, have there been any major events in the sect?” Gu Qing asked the elders.

“No major events.”

There were quite a few minor issues, but they had all been resolved.

As for the matter of going to war with the Purple Micro Dao Sect, that was not their responsibility; Hong Lan was solely in charge.

You Kui carved all the major and minor events of recent years into a jade slip and handed it to Gu Qing for viewing.

Gu Qing's divine sense swept over it, and after a moment of contemplation, he offered a few suggestions, and after resolving the matters, he looked at Su Yunhai.

“Sect Master, this is the ledger of all the Starry Sky Commerce Association's income and expenditures for recent years.”

Su Yunhai presented a jade slip.

Gu Qing glanced at it, a look of joy on his face.

The Starry Sky Commerce Association's annual income was steadily rising, and it was even half a percent higher than when the Star Dao Sect controlled it.

Don't underestimate that half a percent.

Given the Starry Sky Commerce Association's scale, half a percent of profit was an astronomical figure.

“Well done. You may go to the Scripture Pavilion and choose an Immortal King Dao Scripture,” Gu Qing said.

“Thank you, Sect Master.”

Su Yunhai was overjoyed, his expression filled with excitement.

He never expected that in his lifetime, he would actually have the opportunity to cultivate an Immortal King Dao Scripture.

“Has anyone caused trouble at the Starry Sky Commerce Association?” Gu Qing asked.

“Sect Master, rest assured, no one dares to cause trouble at the Starry Sky Commerce Association,” Su Yunhai said proudly.

It was well known that when Gu Qing began to contend for power, his first step was to seize the Starry Sky Commerce Association and the ore veins.

The people he recruited were also dispatched to the Starry Sky Commerce Association, and he spared no effort, even using overqualified individuals, often sending Hong Lan and the other three to manage and supervise.

Under such circumstances, everyone knew that Gu Qing attached great importance to business.

To dare to touch the Starry Sky Commerce Association was to forge a deadly enmity with the Boundless Divine Sect.

Even Immortal King Dao Lineages dared not touch it, fearing that Gu Qing would send out the Limitless Devil.

The various kings only dared to engage in some underhanded minor actions behind the scenes.

But ever since Hong Lan and the other three went on a killing spree with the Profound Fire Treasure Mirror, the predicament had been resolved.

“That's good, you may all withdraw!”

Gu Qing waved his hand.

Shen Yi remained still, and only after everyone had left did he speak.

“Sect Master, may I ask where Liu Ruyan is on her mission? Can I go with her?”

“What do you think?” Gu Qing retorted expressionlessly, his gaze slightly cold.

Shen Yi shivered, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

But for Liu Ruyan, Shen Yi gritted his teeth and said with a stiff upper lip, “I beg the Sect Master for mercy.”

“Fool.”

Gu Qing roared, his voice shaking Shen Yi, who spat blood and flew backward, lying on the ground like a dead dog.

“Sect missions concern the major affairs of the sect and the life and death of disciples. How can they be treated as a game?”

Love-struck fools are indeed unreasonable, with only love and affection in their eyes.

They completely disregard the sect and have no sense of the bigger picture.

“I beg the Sect Master for mercy.”

Shen Yi knelt on the ground, kowtowing, his expression full of pleading.

“Guards, take this fool to Ice Hell to cool down for a year.”

Gu Qing was too lazy to waste words with Shen Yi; saying another word would mean he had lost his mind.

“Sect Master.” Shen Yi's face turned pale.

Ice Hell, as its name suggested, had temperatures low enough to freeze a Heavenly God Realm cultivator.

With Shen Yi's Heavenly God Realm second-stage cultivation, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture within a hundred years.

Although a year wouldn't kill Shen Yi, it would be enough to make him suffer.

Being invaded by the cold, constantly enduring bone-chilling cold, and suffering extreme damage to his physique, he might even have his physique crippled.

Shen Yi never expected that merely asking a question would result in such severe torture.

Gu Qing was truly cold and heartless, showing no regard for fellow disciples.

Two female disciples entered and quickly dragged Shen Yi away.

Upon reaching the entrance, one of the female disciples' eyes flashed with a fierce glint, and she punched Shen Yi's body.

She injected Taiyin Sword Qi into his body.

“You… why?”

Shen Yi's expression was furious, not understanding why she would harm him.

Shen Yi considered himself to have always been kind to others and never offended anyone, so why would this female disciple be so ruthless towards him?

He knew that he possessed the Medicine Spirit Holy Body, which was most afraid of cold.

It was already difficult for him to resist Ice Hell, and with this punch, it was simply adding insult to injury.

After a year, he would be crippled if not dead.

It was said that severing someone's path of cultivation was more severe than killing their parents.

What kind of grudge did he and this female disciple have?

“It's better for a good-for-nothing like you to die, to avoid wasting sect resources.”

The female disciple's eyes were full of disgust, as if she was looking at something dirty.

After speaking, she immediately closed the formation.

Even looking at him for an extra moment felt like it soiled her eyes.

Gu Qing spared no effort in cultivating the cultivators from the Archaic Starfield lineage.

But Shen Yi was good for nothing, showing no gratitude, no repayment to the sect, his mind filled only with romantic love.

If it weren't for considering Shen Yi's identity, she would have truly wished to grind him to dust, this ungrateful good-for-nothing.

“Senior Sister, isn't this a bit too much? He is, after all, from the Archaic Starfield lineage.”

“It's fine. If the Sect Master were to consider their relationship, he wouldn't have thrown him into Ice Hell.”

“I'm not worried about the Sect Master; I'm worried about his master and Liu Ruyan and the others.”

“Worried about what? I'm at the late Heavenly God Realm. If she dares to stand up for Shen Yi, I don't mind showing her a thing or two.”

…Gu Qing frowned in thought for a moment, then moved the Limitless Palace out of the Boundless Heavenly Palace.

He had moved it in before because he was afraid of Immortal Kings infiltrating and ambushing him.

Now that he was a Divine King, Immortal Kings who came were just delivering themselves to him.

“From now on, without my command, no one is allowed to enter the Boundless Heavenly Palace.”

“Yes, Sect Master.”

“Wang Yue, come with me. I have something to ask you.”
