471: The God of War was beaten to death
The Flat Peach Fruit is a top-grade Dao Fruit, containing innate divinity, the law of vitality, and the law of wood.
As soon as they appeared, the four Flat Peach Fruits were suffused with Dao rhyme, emitting astonishing vitality, causing the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees to grow wildly and transform.
Everyone present greedily absorbed the vitality and Dao rhyme permeating the air, feeling as if their entire being had sublimated, and their life essence was growing stronger.
Everyone looked at the Flat Peach Fruits with fervent eyes, especially the thirty-six blade-wielding guards. They had no doubt that by eating this Flat Peach Fruit, they would absolutely become Profound God Great Powers, transcending the world and looking down upon the changing years. Why would they still need to be guards?
What an immense stroke of good fortune this was.
Unfortunately, they could only look.
Even so, it was already an immense stroke of good fortune.
After all, they had absorbed some, and their cultivation had advanced, surpassing thousands, even tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.
“Mistress Shi, Fellow Daoist Tian Yu, please.”
Gu Qing made a gesture of invitation, then picked up one himself, took a bite, and found the taste lingering on his lips, quite good.
“Qing Gongzi, Fellow Daoist Qing, please!!”
With varied expressions, the two picked up a Flat Peach Fruit and took a small bite. Shu Miaohua’s beautiful eyes lit up, feeling the taste was excellent.
Moreover, it was extremely helpful for her cultivation, assisting her in comprehending the law of vitality and the law of wood.
It promoted the sublimation of her physique and strengthened her life essence.
Crucially, these were fruits from a top-grade innate spiritual root, and the pits could be cultivated into acquired spiritual roots, equivalent to a mid-grade Dao Fruit Divine Tree.
However, they were not comparable to a mid-grade Dao Fruit Divine Tree, as they were, after all, descendants of a top-grade innate spiritual root.
Long Tianyu’s divine sense swept over, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
The pits had already been taken, likely planted by Gu Qing.
Long Tianyu ate distractedly, pondering how to approach Qing Gongzi and establish a closer relationship.
He glanced at Shu Miaohua. If this woman became his concubine, things would be much simpler.
However, this woman was impervious to persuasion, arrogant and self-important, not even putting an Immortal King like him in her eyes.
He had sent so many treasures, all for nothing.
Gu Qing paid no attention to Long Tianyu’s thoughts. In his eyes, Long Tianyu was no different from an ant at this moment.
He looked at Chu Nan and asked, feigning curiosity, “Sister, what exactly did your husband do? Why is he being punished?”
“This... I don’t know either.” Shi Jingqiong looked at her mother.
The mother and daughter shared seven or eight parts of their appearance, both stunningly beautiful, peerless beauties who couldn’t see their toes when they bowed their heads.
However, Shu Miaohua’s temperament leaned more towards dignified elegance, while Shi Jingqiong’s leaned towards a graceful, mature woman type.
Shu Miaohua spoke, “He disregarded rules, showed no respect, and after entering our Shi family, he spent every day frequenting flower houses, causing trouble. It’s absolutely outrageous.”
“Oh! Is that so? Then he really needs to be properly disciplined. A live-in son-in-law must act like a live-in son-in-law.” Gu Qing said with a casual tone after an ‘Oh!’
His eyes provocatively looked at Chu Nan.
He had to admit, Chu Nan was the best adoptive father he had ever encountered.
His luck was too easy to harvest.
While he and Shi Jingqiong painstakingly developed new maps in the room, luck flowed in profusely.
In seven days, he harvested a full 1.2 million luck points, as if he had picked them up for free.
Of course, the smooth harvesting of Chu Nan’s luck was entirely thanks to Shu Miaohua, his mother-in-law, who firmly guarded the door.
Whenever Chu Nan made a move, Shu Miaohua would suppress him, preventing him from going anywhere.
Such a good mother-in-law deserved some rewards later.
After all, luck was of great use to him, related to his breakthrough to God Emperor.
“You’re asking for death...” Chu Nan’s eyes immediately flashed with a cold light upon seeing Qing Gongzi’s provocative gaze. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would kill Qing Gongzi, no matter where he had to go.
But before that, he needed to find out what the two of them were doing in the room.
Were they really siblings?
Were they really discussing important matters?
It must be. After all, his wife only cared about the Shi family and showed no pleasantries to anyone. No matter how powerful Qing Gongzi was, he was just a useful partner for his wife.
During these seven days, Chu Nan’s heart was burning with anxiety. He comforted himself like this countless times, but he also couldn’t help but want to rush into the room countless times to see what was happening.
However, he was suppressed by his mother-in-law and couldn’t go anywhere, which made him extremely frustrated.
[Detected child of destiny Chu Nan harboring malice towards the host, currently plundering host’s luck. Triggering Super Counter-Armor, counter-plundering Chu Nan’s ten luck points.]
[Detected...]
Gu Qing turned off the system broadcast, looked at Long Tianyu, and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Tian Yu, I presume you saw it too?”
Long Tianyu nodded. He had indeed seen the fleeting cold light in Chu Nan’s eyes, which made him feel a chill.
This was an Immortal King, damn it.
But he couldn’t understand. Wasn’t Chu Nan just the useless son of one of his generals?
How did he suddenly become an Immortal King?
And he was willing to be a lowly live-in son-in-law, constantly humiliated by Shu Miaohua.
Is this something a normal person would do?
What confused him even more was, since Chu Nan chose to endure, why didn’t he endure to the very end?
What was the meaning of enduring yet also revealing his Immortal King aura?
The more Long Tianyu thought, the more he felt his brain wasn’t enough.
It was simply too preposterous.
Long Tianyu even began to wonder if he had been mistaken just now.
“Find a way to get rid of him, and your matter with the Cult Master will be settled.” Gu Qing transmitted his voice.
Letting Long Tianyu go was impossible, but he could let him test Chu Nan’s depth first. Perhaps Long Tianyu would die at Chu Nan’s hands without him needing to act.
After all, Chu Nan was a child of destiny, so he definitely had strength, and his escape methods were unparalleled.
Gu Qing wasn’t entirely confident that he could kill Chu Nan with 100% certainty.
If he had the God Slaying Arrow... Thinking of this, Gu Qing quickly sensed the God Slaying Arrow. The killing intent still hadn’t erupted.
The killing Dao contained within the God Slaying Arrow was too terrifying. Anyone who touched it would die. Even he, its master, couldn’t contend with it head-on.
He could only retrieve it after the God Slaying Arrow had fully unleashed its power.
“It’s a deal.” Long Tianyu was silent for a moment, then could only choose to believe.
Whether Qing Gongzi wanted to use him to kill someone, or wanted to eliminate both him and Chu Nan, he had no other choice.
After all, the greatness of a God King was truly beyond his ability to contend with.
Believing Qing Gongzi gave him a slim chance of survival; not believing meant only a dead end.
Thinking of this, Long Tianyu suddenly felt a wave of sorrow.
He thought of how he had endured countless hardships and difficulties, and for the sake of destiny and good fortune, he had seduced his elder brother’s wife and conspired with her to harm his elder brother.
He succeeded and attained the Dao of an Immortal King as he wished, but what did that matter?
Wasn’t his life and death still decided by a single word from Gu Qing?
“It’s a deal.”
Gu Qing raised his cup and drank with him, everything understood without words.
Long Tianyu drained his cup, his gaze involuntarily falling on Shu Miaohua, then he secretly shook his head, put down his teacup, and rose to take his leave... Chu Nan quickly lowered his head, secretly annoyed at his carelessness, wondering if Gu Qing had discovered his secret.
He probably hadn’t, right?
After all, he was just a useless live-in son-in-law. Who would suspect a useless live-in son-in-law of being an Immortal King?
If he had been discovered, how could Qing Gongzi have shown no reaction at all?
However, for the sake of prudence, Qing Gongzi must be eliminated.
Even if Qing Gongzi was a God King, he was confident he could kill him.
“I only want to be a carefree live-in son-in-law, why force me to act?” Chu Nan thought coldly, his eyes indifferent.
Gu Qing didn’t care what Chu Nan was thinking. His eyes signaled Shu Miaohua to continue.
Since Chu Nan wanted to pretend, then let him pretend to his heart’s content. Gu Qing couldn’t wait for Chu Nan to pretend until he died.
“Hit him hard.” With Shu Miaohua’s command, the four nannies directly plunged black silver needles into Chu Nan’s body.
Immediately after, the guards stepped forward, held Chu Nan down, and subjected him to various inhumane tortures.
Chu Nan: “...”
It’s happening again?
Is it ever going to end?
They had been beating him for seven days and seven nights already.
Couldn’t they let him catch his breath?
Gu Qing would naturally let him catch his breath once Chu Nan’s luck was completely drained.
Gu Qing would occasionally interact with the mother and daughter, and Chu Nan’s luck would flow in profusely.
In three days, Chu Nan was completely drained, with only his initial three thousand luck points remaining.
Chu Nan lay on the ground like a dead dog, enduring the torture. At this moment, he was very flustered, always feeling that he had lost something important.
It seemed like his luck had been lost.
Chu Nan was eager to leave and use secret techniques to deduce.
“Chu Nan, do you know your mistake?” Shu Miaohua rebuked, her face like frost.
“Mother-in-law, your son-in-law knows his mistake.”
Chu Nan, whose flesh was battered and bloody from the lesson, no longer dared to show a bitter smile.
Although these people couldn’t inflict any actual harm on him, his bloody and battered appearance was intentionally feigned.
But he was truly scared of being beaten.
Chu Nan knelt on the ground, replying with an extremely humble posture.
