435: Belated affection is cheaper than grass

"What exactly is it? Just say it."

In Limitless Palace, seeing You Kui hesitate, looking as if he found it hard to speak, Gu Qing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

You Kui took a deep breath and blurted out, "Sect Master, how do I win back my Dao Companion? What should I do to make my Dao Companion change her mind?"

"Huh?"

Gu Qing was stunned.

He had thought You Kui had some important matter that was difficult to ask him for help with, or was indecisive about something.

Who would have thought it was just this?

Gu Qing immediately became even more curious.

What kind of reason would make a tough guy, who was dedicated to cultivation and revitalizing the Star Lineage, embark on a 'wife-chasing crematorium'?

Gu Qing couldn't stop scrutinizing You Kui.

You Kui was still very handsome, heroic and extraordinary.

His facial features were sharp, his expression stern; he belonged to the type of cold, tough men.

"Sect Master!" You Kui felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Profound God Elder You Kui..."

Gu Qing withdrew his gaze, shook his head helplessly, and advised, "There are plenty of fish in the sea. Mei Xueyan already has a Dao Companion, and they are a very loving couple."

"Our sect has countless beauties, and Profound God Elders are also numerous. Instead of pining for someone you can't have, why not broaden your horizons?"

"Give up one tree, and you'll discover an entire vast forest."

Upon hearing this, You Kui's face darkened. He instinctively wanted to reprimand Gu Qing, but the words caught in his throat.

Gu Qing was no longer the Gu Qing of yesteryear.

This was a Divine King of the current era, a mythical existence.

If he weren't a Boundless Divine Sect Elder, if he didn't have some friendship with Gu Qing, he wouldn't even be qualified to meet Gu Qing.

"Sect Master, Xueyan is irreplaceable in my heart. She is unique. In this life, I only seek her," You Kui said, taking a deep breath, his tone firm and resolute.

In this life, he had only loved Mei Xueyan and had decided on her.

Other women, no matter how beautiful, had nothing to do with him.

"Why bother?" Gu Qing kept shaking his head.

"Mei Xueyan's character is persistent and firm. Once she decides on something, it's impossible to change it. You have no chance."

You Kui fell silent.

How could he not know what Gu Qing was saying?

It was precisely because of Mei Xueyan's persistent and resolute character that even after being neglected by him for countless years, she didn't choose to leave him.

Until she had a daughter.

Mei Xueyan could no longer bear it. In a fit of anger, she sold off her family property and returned to the sect with her daughter.

At that time, You Kui didn't care, thinking Mei Xueyan was just temporarily angry, and after some time, she would cheer herself up.

You Kui continued his arduous cultivation, intending to revitalize the Three Thousand Dao Lineages of the lower realm.

Who knew, he waited and waited, only to receive news of Mei Xueyan remarrying.

His wife and daughter had both been abducted by Left Cloud Star.

This was simply a bolt from the blue.

"There's not no chance at all."

Seeing You Kui's dejected expression, Gu Qing felt a little sympathetic.

After all, You Kui had sacrificed too much for their Three Thousand Dao Lineages.

If it weren't for You Kui holding the fort, the old fogeys of the Star Lineage would have probably long since blood-sacrificed the Archaic Starfield.

Where would he even fit in?

Gu Qing stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Unless Left Cloud Star voluntarily lets go, or he perishes."

"Impossible!"

You Kui rejected it outright without even thinking.

Left Cloud Star couldn't possibly give up Mei Xueyan.

And he couldn't possibly kill Left Cloud Star.

Gu Qing knew You Kui wouldn't agree.

If You Kui wanted to kill Left Cloud Star, he would have done it long ago; why would he endure until now?

To be honest, Gu Qing admired and respected a tough guy like You Kui, who would rather be cuckolded than resort to strong, ruthless methods.

"Then there's only one last method: you two share one wife," Gu Qing said helplessly.

In the cultivation world, not only can men have many wives and concubines, but women can also have numerous male companions.

Cultivators pursue longevity and freedom, doing whatever they desire. Mundane rules simply don't apply to cultivators.

"No, absolutely not!"

You Kui's face flushed, and he was furious.

"Cough, Profound God Elder You Kui, calm down. I have another plan."

Gu Qing cleared his throat, also feeling that his idea was completely terrible.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing sent a message for Mei Xueyan and Left Cloud Star to come over.

Some things are better clarified face-to-face.

The two arrived at Limitless Palace. Seeing only Gu Qing and You Kui, an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

"Elder Zuo, do you want an Innate Spirit Treasure? Do you want to prove the Dao as an Immortal King?" Gu Qing asked.

He possessed peerless cultivation techniques and countless treasures. As long as he wished, he could cultivate even a pig into an Immortal King-level pig.

Moreover, Left Cloud Star was not a pig.

To be able to prove the Dao as a Profound God, Left Cloud Star's talent couldn't be poor.

Hearing of such a great fortune, Left Cloud Star showed no joy. Instead, his face turned pale, and he was flustered.

Because he was well aware of his own capabilities and had no personal relationship with Gu Qing.

Such a great fortune could never fall to him.

And there was no free lunch in the world.

"Don't panic!" Mei Xueyan also realized this. She supported the trembling Left Cloud Star and looked at Gu Qing with a firm expression.

She pursed her red lips, saying nothing, her expression stubborn.

Gu Qing's mouth twitched. He said, "As long as he is willing to divorce you, I will give him an Innate Spirit Treasure and guarantee his path to becoming an Immortal King."

He paused, then added, "Of course, I also know the principle that it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up a marriage. How you choose is entirely up to your free will; I will not force you."

Breaking up a loving couple was too unethical; Gu Qing felt a loss of face.

But You Kui had shown him kindness and made great contributions to the Archaic Starfield, so he had no choice but to act.

Of course, it was merely an enticement; he absolutely had no intention of coercion.

Whether the Great Dao was more important or a woman was more important, it was entirely up to Left Cloud Star to choose.

You Kui breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Gu Qing wasn't using coercion.

Otherwise, given Mei Xueyan's personality, she would rather die than comply.

He also didn't want to coerce Mei Xueyan.

It was just... wasn't the price Gu Qing was paying too great?

You Kui was incredibly moved.

At the same time, he looked at Left Cloud Star and Mei Xueyan with extreme nervousness.

He desperately hoped Left Cloud Star would choose the Great Dao.

As long as he could win back his wife, he would repay Gu Qing for the rest of his life.

"I choose Senior Sister!"

Left Cloud Star glanced at Gu Qing. Seeing that Gu Qing truly had no intention of coercion, he unhesitatingly chose Mei Xueyan and his daughter.

Nothing was more important than his Senior Sister and his beloved daughter.

"Alright, alright!"

Gu Qing gave You Kui a look that conveyed 'I can't help you'.

The palace fell into a deathly silence for a moment, only You Kui's heavy breathing could be heard.

You Kui's expression twisted, and he looked at Mei Xueyan, his eyes filled with intense emotions.

Mei Xueyan didn't even glance at him. She bowed to Gu Qing, "Sect Master, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

It seemed You Kui truly had no chance.

Gu Qing took out a hundred million wisps of Chaotic Source Qi and distributed them to the two, then waved his hand, "Go, cultivate well. I wish you both a loving and lasting marriage."

"Thank you for your auspicious words, Sect Master. Thank you for your generous gift!"

The two breathed a great sigh of relief, their expressions filled with gratitude.

Gu Qing was a Divine King, controlling their life and death. His not forcefully intervening made them, as the weaker party, incredibly grateful.

After all, the weak have no dignity before the strong; even their lives are not their own.

Gu Qing not only didn't force them but also bestowed treasures, which indicated that Gu Qing would no longer interfere in their affairs.

He also sincerely wished them well as a couple.

The two walked out of the palace, exchanged a smile, their eyes full of affection.

They completely disregarded You Kui, who was still looking on longingly in the main hall.

Left Cloud Star's divine sense scanned the treasures in the bottle.

The treasures bestowed by Gu Qing couldn't be low-grade. He planned to give them to Mei Xueyan and Zuo Yu'er.

It wasn't a big deal not to look, but once he did, he was stunned.

"This... what level of treasure is this, exactly?"

A gas containing the essence of Chaotic Laws – even with his extensive reading and vast knowledge, he had never heard of it.

"Don't spread the word. This matter must not be leaked. Go back and cultivate well."

Gu Qing's voice came from afar, making the two of them straighten up, bowing in endless gratitude. The couple left hand in hand.

With the Chaotic Source Qi, their path to the Great Dao was promising.

They didn't aspire to prove the Dao as Immortal Emperors, but Immortal Kings were certainly within reach.

Thinking of both of them proving the Dao as Immortal Kings and achieving long life, the two immediately became uncontrollably excited.

"Stop looking. They say that belated affection is cheaper than grass. You should choose another wife."

Gu Qing handed him a storage ring and patted his shoulder.

The storage ring contained ten drops of Lonely Star's essence blood, ten billion wisps of Chaotic Source Qi, and a mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure.

It was a pagoda, quite suitable for You Kui.

Gu Qing slipped away, heading straight for the garden.

Seeing You Kui's miserable state, Gu Qing was a little afraid that He Ni, in a fit of anger, would plunder the Boundless Divine Sect's treasures and flee with their daughter.

Although this was impossible.
