756: Xiaohong is determined to be a filial daughter

Two days later, Gu Qing was full.

As soon as he and Starry Sacred Mother stepped out of the private room, they were met by Xiao Hong, who had been waiting for a long time.

She respectfully said, "Young Master, Senior, are you satisfied with the delicious food Shuang Shuang cooked?"

"Not bad!"

Gu Qing nodded; the food Ye Wushuang cooked was indeed excellent, much better than what he could cook.

After all, everyone has their specialty, and she is a professional.

Xiao Hong’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly handed over a token: "Young Master, this is a Shuang Shuang token.

Holding it allows Shuang Shuang to cook for you, and you won't need a reservation at any Shishen Restaurant."

"Of course, with your status, Young Master, you probably don't care for such a small token; this is just a small gesture from Xiao Hong."

"Then I won't be polite."

Gu Qing waved his hand, putting the token into his storage ring.

Xiao Hong immediately smiled radiantly.

The more entangled she was with Gu Qing, the more benefits they would receive.

If she served Gu Qing well, just a tiny bit of what he casually gave would be enough for her to benefit for a lifetime.

Thinking this, Xiao Hong found Gu Qing much more pleasing to the eye, not as detestable as before.

"Young Master, there's a trade fair in three days.

Would you like to go and see the excitement?"

"Yes!"

Gu Qing was going through his tribulation; he was idle anyway, so going to join the fun would be good to broaden his horizons.

"Ah?"

Xiao Hong let out a surprised sound.

She was just making conversation, subtly showcasing her abilities, and never expected Gu Qing to agree.

After all, while the trade fair dealt in treasures, they should all be trash to Gu Qing, right?

A thought flashed through her mind, and Xiao Hong immediately pulled out two invitations.

With her intelligence, how could she not know that Gu Qing was out to have some fun?

"Young Master, I also know many interesting places in Wanxing City.

Xiao Hong is willing to serve you."

Xiao Hong immediately offered her services, looking at Gu Qing with anticipation.

She was eager to improve and did not want to miss any opportunity to become stronger.

"Work hard!"

Gu Qing affirmed the proactive Xiao Hong, patting her fragrant shoulder.

"Mhm mhm mhm, Xiao Hong will definitely not disappoint you, Young Master." Xiao Hong nodded repeatedly, excitedly.

"Take me to buy a popular residence."

Having a well-informed little maid from Wanxing City would be beneficial and harmless to him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong immediately took out a communication jade and performed a series of swift operations, selecting the best residence and directly having the person in charge come to sign the agreement.

"Here, see you in three days!"

Gu Qing waved his hand, and a force swept the person out, the door slamming shut with a bang.

Xiao Hong, who was about to claim credit: "..."

Indeed, Gu Qing was still Gu Qing; he wouldn't change at all because of her beautiful looks or charming smile.

She was just a minion, used and then discarded.

Xiao Hong's expression changed for a moment as she adjusted her mindset, then she opened the jade bottle and took a closer look, her heart immediately pounding.

She was wrong.

A full hundred thousand drops of Chaotic Origin Fluid.

From now on, Gu Qing was her foster father.

If her foster father told her to go east, she would never go west; if her foster father told her to catch a chicken, she would never catch a duck.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!"

Xiao Hong's face flushed with excitement as she directly knocked on the residence next to Gu Qing's.

A burly man with a rough face and fierce expression came out.

He stared at Xiao Hong with extreme ill will, his gaze seemingly wanting to devour her.

Although Xiao Hong was as beautiful as a flower, disturbing his sleep was like killing his parents.

If Xiao Hong didn't give him an explanation, he wouldn't mind inviting her out of the city for a duel to the death.

"Get lost, this residence is mine now."

Xiao Hong threw out ten innate spirit crystals, and the tables turned; she drove the man out.

The big man: "..."

"Alright, fairy, I'll get lost now."

The big man happily took the innate spirit crystals and left.

These were ten innate spirit crystals!

His residence was just an ordinary one, not a cultivator's cave dwelling; it only cost one innate spirit crystal to rent for a hundred years, and he had already lived there for decades.

He was truly lucky today.

"So, it feels this good to drive people away with innate spirit crystals."

Xiao Hong immediately felt refreshed, and her heart became more determined to earn more innate spirit crystals, as only innate spirit crystals could make her feel refreshed every day.

Of course, the most important thing right now was to serve her foster father well.

She wanted to be on standby twenty-four hours a day, making her foster father feel as warm as a spring breeze... Meanwhile, at Xiao Hong's cave dwelling, Chen Mo had been squatting outside her door for two days.

Chen Mo was annoyed; he had almost forgotten that he needed Xiao Hong's help.

He wanted to trade some treasures, so he had to ask Xiao Hong for information about the trade fair.

After all, many trade fairs, due to dealing in supreme treasures and fearing robbery by powerful individuals, were held very secretly each time, and only acquaintances knew the news.

However, by the time he came to his senses, Xiao Hong, Starry Sacred Mother, and Gu Qing had already vanished without a trace.

He inquired everywhere but couldn't find Xiao Hong, so he had no choice but to wait here like a rabbit by a stump.

Chen Mo held the communication jade, his brows tightly furrowed, glancing at it from time to time and sending another message to Xiao Hong.

But he was destined not to receive any reply.

Knowing that Chen Mo was looking for her, Xiao Hong knew it wouldn't be for anything good.

But she couldn't afford to offend Chen Mo, so she simply switched to a different communication jade and didn't even return to her cave dwelling.

Xiao Hong was now wholeheartedly focused on Gu Qing's residence gate, determined to be a filial foster daughter... Starry Sacred Mother cast a spell, and with a wave of her hand, the residence was completely refreshed.

Gu Qing climbed onto the large bed and almost immediately fell asleep; he was truly too tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

~ (￣▽￣~)~

Seeing this, Starry Sacred Mother covered her mouth and chuckled, gently stroking Gu Qing's eyebrows: "Greedy glutton, letting you be greedy, still restless during tribulation, are you tired?"

After watching for a long time, Starry Sacred Mother quietly left the room and began to add furniture, as she might be living here for several centuries in the future.

She wanted to arrange the new house according to mortal layouts, to experience the peaceful and mundane human life.

After doing all this, Starry Sacred Mother went to bathe and change, putting on the purple gauze dress nightgown that Gu Qing liked most.

Large expanses of exposed, glowing skin were visible.

The sheer shawl accentuated her slender swan-like neck, making it appear even longer and more beautiful, her collarbones delicate, her chest full and almost spilling out.

Starry Sacred Mother's face was flushed red, and she secretly spat, "Rebellious disciple!"

She touched her burning cheeks, her beautiful eyes shimmering with water.

After fiddling around, Starry Sacred Mother tried on other nightgowns, trying all of them, and it was already three days later.

"Hiss~"

The first thing Gu Qing felt when he woke up was a dull pain in his chest, weakness all over, physical and mental exhaustion, and the Five Decays Power pervading his entire body.

And it was several times stronger than the Five Decays Power of a few days ago; the Three Lights Divine Water he had consumed earlier was already completely depleted.

"Damn it..." Gu Qing looked at his own face and was immediately terrified.

He, in his early twenties, woke up to find himself looking like he was forty or fifty years old; although he was still a handsome older man, Gu Qing couldn't accept it at all.

Gu Qing took out a jade bottle and gulped down for a few minutes.

The Three Lights Divine Water transformed into three-colored profound light, flowing like water throughout his entire body and limbs, cleansing the Five Decays Power.

It made his withered body regain vitality.

His body recovered its vigor, but Gu Qing still felt a sense of powerlessness, mentally and physically drained.

It was as if his heart was failing, naturally aging.

Additionally, Gu Qing was powerless to stop the decay and corruption of his magical power; the Three Lights Divine Water could only suppress it, not eradicate it, nor could it make his magical power regain vitality.

Gu Qing sensed himself; his strength was less than one percent of his peak period.

Gu Qing immediately felt a panic; in just a few days, his strength had dropped to only one percent.

Who knew how long the Five Decays Power would last, and if it would worsen in the future?

The unknown was what was most terrifying.

Gu Qing was extremely panicked.

The Three Tribulations and Five Decays truly lived up to their name as a Tribulation of the Great Dao; all beings were equal, and the stronger one was, the stronger the tribulation.

It was also fortunate that Starry Sacred Mother had refined the Three Lights Divine Water, which not only cleansed his physique but also purified his mind and suppressed the Five Decays Power.

Otherwise, Gu Qing couldn't even imagine how old he would have become.

"Master!"

Gu Qing felt that this couldn't go on; he had to ask Starry Sacred Mother if there were any treasures to assist in transcending the tribulation.

"My disciple is awake."

Starry Sacred Mother was startled to hear Gu Qing's voice, quickly used a spell, changed into an immortal dress, and appeared in the room in a flash.

"Master, are there any treasures to assist in transcending the tribulation?" Gu Qing asked.

"There are."

"What are they?"

"myriad tribulation fruit; no matter how fierce the great tribulation, it will sustain your life."

"Besides that, is there anything else?"

"No, the Three Tribulations and Five Decays are equal for all beings; the myriad tribulation fruit being able to preserve a glimmer of life is already extremely heaven-defying."

Saying this, Starry Sacred Mother took out two myriad tribulation fruits: "Disciple, eat them quickly; perhaps eating one more will have a better effect."

Gu Qing: ...Isn't this just psychological comfort?!

Gu Qing still ate them.

Whether it worked or not, he would eat them first.

Anyway, he still had dozens in his storage ring, so he wasn't afraid of wasting them.
