68: Your Majesty, you don’t want your father and his family to be wiped out, do you?

"Well done, this is for you."

Gu Qing tossed a jade bottle and a jade slip to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning happily caught them. Although Gu Qing was in the Void Dao Realm, from what she knew of him, what he gave her would definitely not be ordinary.

Sure enough, with a sweep of her divine sense, her beautiful eyes widened in shock.

The precious liquid contained pure laws, and though diluted, it was still astonishing.

Moreover, this was a precious liquid that could enhance the physical body, divine soul, and cultivation without side effects, allowing one's life essence to transform.

And Gu Qing didn't give her just a drop or two; there was enough to fill a small lake.

If she used it sparingly, it would be enough for her to break through to the mid-Saint Realm.

Even more astonishing was the method of rebirth through fire.

This was a supreme method that could transform her, allowing her to leap over the dragon gate and ascend to heaven in one step.

It would cause her physique, comprehension, and life to transform and sublimate.

She could even use this to deduce a suitable Nirvana method for herself.

If she could integrate the Rebirth Through Fire method into her cultivation technique, that would be an immense fortune.

The more Ji Ning thought about it, the more excited she became, her voice trembling slightly as she solemnly thanked him. "Thank you."

"No need. You've helped me so much; it's only right that I give you some recompense."

Gu Qing smiled indifferently.

Ji Ning nodded emphatically, saying no more, and secretly resolved to follow Gu Qing from now on.

Zhi Meng could be kicked aside.

She could go wherever it was cool.

Anyway, she had gained enough from following Zhi Meng for so many years.

It was time to find a new patron.

"System, check her attributes for me."

Gu Qing's heart stirred. Speaking of which, Ji Ning had been with him for so long, and he still hadn't checked her attribute data.

【Name】 Ji Ning.

【Realm】 Peak Venerable Realm Ninth Level.

【Physique】 Five Elements Divine Body.

【Talent】 Heaven-Defying Talent, Born Close to the Dao.

【Fate】 Dao Prover.

【Destiny】 Prolonged Good Fortune, Content with the Status Quo.

【Luck】 150000.

"???"

Gu Qing looked at Ji Ning with a stunned and shocked gaze, as if seeing her for the first time.

Damn it, Ji Ning had hidden herself too well.

She outwardly claimed to have the Geng Metal Divine Body, which was considered a top-tier Divine Body.

However, the Five Elements Divine Body was a Supreme Divine Body, no less inferior than the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body.

Coupled with Ji Ning's two heaven-defying talents, Ji Ning was absolutely an invincible existence among her peers.

Yet, such a person actually became someone else's follower?

How did Ji Ning's brain work?

Wouldn't it be better to be her own boss?

"She's a schemer. I didn't expect a schemer to be by my side." Gu Qing's gaze suddenly changed; this was a kindred spirit.

Who didn't know he possessed the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body?

He himself believed this to be true.

Besides the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body, he had no other physique.

Gu Qing had always used the Dao methods and divine abilities of the Zhou Tian Star Divine Body.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Ning suddenly became vigilant, feeling that Gu Qing's gaze was a bit frightening.

"Nothing."

Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and decided to seek advice from Ji Ning in the future.

After all, Ji Ning had the destiny of Content with the Status Quo, which was the pinnacle for schemers.

However, what did "Dao Prover" mean?

If he didn't understand, he'd ask his foster father.

【Literal meaning, she may prove the Dao in the future.】

"Schemer."

Ji Ning truly reached the pinnacle of the schemer world, surviving until the end to get everything.

"What schemer?"

Ji Ning felt Gu Qing was being somewhat inexplicable.

"Nothing. Let's go to the Xiliang Marquis Mansion."

... "Your subject pays respects to the Empress."

Dong Fei said he was paying respects, yet he made no move to do so.

His eyes gleamed, like a hungry wolf spotting delicious prey.

This was the goddess countless men in the Divine Phoenix Empire dreamed of, and he was no exception, even more so than others; he dreamed of possessing Bai Suying.

Dong Fei couldn't stop fantasizing that with Ji Ning's help, if he also obtained Bai Suying, he would gain Bai Wuya's assistance.

With two Supreme Realm powerhouses backing him, billions of miles of territory would be within his grasp.

"Hmph."

Bai Suying snorted, her aura exploding, and killing intent flashed in her eyes.

"Dong Fei, do you really think that with the Flying Celestial Goddess's help, you can do whatever you want?"

"Hahahaha, Empress, you are truly a heroine who yields to no man, a beauty who surpasses even men. Your subject admires you."

Dong Fei burst into laughter. His strong, burly body, coupled with his dark skin and rough, ugly features, made him look like a beast.

He sneered, "However, you're far from enough to scare me."

Despite his beast-like appearance, he was actually cunning and insidious. He immediately saw through Bai Suying's bluff and also wanted to test how far Ji Ning would help him.

But everyone here was an old fox.

He had risen from a small soldier to the position of Xiliang Marquis, what kind of schemes and tricks hadn't he seen?

"What do you want?"

Bai Suying asked with a grim expression.

"Empress, this Marquis desires you, is that permissible?"

"Wishful thinking."

Bai Suying flicked her sleeve and turned to leave.

"If you dare to walk out that door, I will immediately have the Flying Celestial Goddess wipe out your entire family."

Dong Fei flashed in front of Bai Suying, a sinister smile on his face.

"Heh, what are you, Dong Fei? Do you even deserve an Earthly Supreme Realm powerhouse to make a move?"

Bai Suying's heart sank, but on the surface, she looked disdainful.

"To tell you the truth, the Flying Celestial Goddess promised this Marquis one condition, and this Marquis promised the Flying Celestial Goddess all her requests."

"If you don't believe me, feel free to leave." Dong Fei stepped aside, making way.

"Choose another."

Bai Suying gritted her teeth, her heart filled with resentment.

Meeting two men in a row who tried to coerce and tempt her made her furious.

As the mother of a nation and the daughter of a Supreme Realm powerhouse, when had she ever been so humiliated?

"No, this Marquis wants you. You are irreplaceable."

Dong Fei said in a deep voice.

Whether it was her status as the mother of a nation, the daughter of a Supreme Realm powerhouse, or her beauty and figure, there was no second Bai Suying in the entire empire.

The Divine Phoenix Empire's number one beauty was not an empty title.

"The imperial capital is filled with beauties; Minister Dong needs to broaden his horizons." Bai Suying said expressionlessly.

"No, no, no."

Dong Fei shook his head repeatedly, his expression fanatical.

"Those common beauties can't even compare to a single strand of the Empress's hair. Every time I see them, this Marquis feels utterly bored."

"Only when I see the Empress does this Marquis's blood boil, as if returning to my youth. Does the Empress understand?"

"Hmph, you don't know your place. Have the Flying Celestial Goddess come out."

Bai Suying's beautiful eyes were filled with coldness, and her voice was devoid of any emotion.

Dong Fei frowned. How precious was the favor of an invincible Supreme Realm powerhouse? He didn't want to waste it like this.

But seeing Bai Suying's confident demeanor, a sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.

He just felt that something wasn't right.

Bai Suying was famously filial, how could she be indifferent to her father's safety?

Before he could ponder further, Dong Fei soon knew the answer.

He saw Gu Qing enter with the "Flying Celestial Goddess" and praised, "Empress, you are truly intelligent to have guessed that I am the mastermind."

"It really is you, you little bastard, causing trouble!"

Bai Suying cursed for the first time in her life, gritting her teeth and glaring at Gu Qing, wishing she could rush up and bite him a couple of times.

The first time they met, Gu Qing's insults made her doubt her existence, and now he had injured her father; he was simply inhuman.

Fortunately, she had kept a watchful eye, feeling that it was impossible for such a powerful Venerable Realm powerhouse to appear in the Divine Phoenix Empire for no reason.

After all, Venerable Realm powerhouses were not common cabbages; they were few in number and served as the cornerstones of major powers.

She had seen many Venerable Realm powerhouses in the Eastern Region, and even those she hadn't seen, she had heard of. There was simply no one named Flying Celestial Goddess.

Thus, there was only one answer: the Flying Celestial Goddess was Gu Qing's person.

"What if it is me? Do you still intend to resist?" Gu Qing stopped pretending and admitted it directly.

He felt a little regretful.

He had originally planned a hero-saves-the-beauty scenario, a smooth killing and taking of a wife, but who knew Bai Suying was so intelligent and immediately guessed it was him.

But it didn't matter; his efforts weren't in vain.

With this lesson, he didn't believe Bai Suying would dare to resist him anymore.

Bai Suying indeed didn't dare; she remained silent.

Because she knew very well that this time was a threat, next time it would probably be for real.

She simply couldn't refuse.

"Thump!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Fei immediately understood that he had been used from beginning to end.

He knelt with a thump, his expression terrified, and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

"This lowly one deserves to die, this lowly one deserves to die..."

Ji Ning killed him with a single finger. A King Realm Eighth Level cultivator, a generation's hero, thus fell.

"Empress, do you see? You wouldn't want your father and family to turn to ash, would you?" Gu Qing took her small hand and said earnestly.

Knowing she couldn't escape Gu Qing's clutches, Bai Suying sighed, resigned to her fate, and gritted her teeth, cursing, "How old are you, you little bastard?"

"Around twenty, I think."

Gu Qing thought seriously for a moment and answered truthfully.

Having been in seclusion for so many years, he had forgotten the passage of time.

"So young?"

Bai Suying was startled.

A Void Dao Realm Fourth Level at just over twenty.

If this were in the past, it would be absolutely rare in history.

Only in this golden age, with numerous prodigies and monstrous talents emerging, was such a thing possible.

But even then, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Among the hundreds of millions of living beings in the Divine Phoenix Empire, only Ye Hao and Luo Li had reached such a height.

However, on the other hand, she was several hundred years older than Gu Qing.

Being forced by a youngster, Bai Suying felt a sense of shame, like a young bull eating old grass.

"Young? Empress, do not speak nonsense and spout rubbish; there will be consequences for such words." Gu Qing glanced meaningfully over her body.

"Pah!"

Bai Suying's face flushed, she spat softly, and said angrily, "Didn't you say you'd give me three days to consider? It hasn't even been three hours, has it?"

"Who made the Empress so charming that I couldn't sleep at night?"

"You little bastard, at such a young age, you already know how to coerce married women. You're so bad, do your senior elders know?"

Bai Suying had always considered cursing to be vulgar, but at this moment, she felt that cursing was truly exhilarating.

She kept calling him a little bastard.

Her picturesque, peerless face, half-angry, half-sullen, her cheeks flushed, her expression indignant, her red lips opening and closing, possessed a unique charm and was utterly captivating.

"Heh!"

Gu Qing chuckled.

Bai Suying's cursing was like flirting with a lover, without any destructive power, but full of playfulness.

Curse, go ahead and curse. Tonight, I'll stay at the Imperial Palace and let you curse to your heart's content.

"I need to go home and inform my father."

Bai Suying had cursed enough. Her beautiful eyes darted about, thinking she could hide for a while.

"Mm, you go ahead. This Saint Artifact is my betrothal gift to you. I'll be waiting for you in Mo Yang Palace. Don't make me wait too long, or I'll get angry."

Hearing this, Gu Qing nodded, as if he hadn't understood the meaning in Bai Suying's words, and threw Lin Fan's broken Saint Artifact to her.

Indeed, when marrying someone's daughter, one should inform the father.

Now that his courtesies were complete, Bai Suying was truly marked as his.

"This..." Bai Suying swept her divine sense over it, her beautiful eyes wide.

This was a Saint Artifact. Although it was broken, it was still usable, so it was a Saint Artifact.

If Bai Wuya had a Saint Artifact in hand, he wouldn't have been so miserably defeated by Ji Ning. In fact, if the opponent didn't have a Saint Artifact, it wasn't impossible for him to turn the tide.

Of course, using a Saint Artifact for combat was the most insignificant aspect for cultivators below the Saint Realm.

Its true purpose was to comprehend the Saint Dao laws within it, using them as an Introduction (catalyst) to break through to the Saint Realm.

Therefore, a Saint Artifact was priceless to a Venerable Realm powerhouse.

Gu Qing just casually threw it to her as a betrothal gift?

"Ye Hao has brought a Saint. Should we leave?" Ji Ning suddenly transmitted her voice.

She had killed several people from the Net, and Ye Hao must have received the news, eagerly bringing a Saint Realm powerhouse.

"No need." Gu Qing remained composed.

With Ye Hao's cunning personality, as long as he didn't actively provoke him, he would continue to endure.

This was perfect, giving him a lot of room for maneuver.

Ye Hao liked to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger, and Gu Qing dared to turn him into a real pig.

When Ye Hao revealed all his trump cards, leading a powerful and ruthless army into the city, under the gaze of all, enjoying boundless glory, Gu Qing would then give him a huge surprise.
