78: Disaster Black Dragon, Hollow Willow

“Junior Sister, how do you wish for your Senior Brother to die?”

A soft laugh came from the clouds.

Luo Li’s expression changed slightly. She abruptly turned her head to look, only to see Gu Qing strolling through the void, radiating brilliance. A faint smile graced his handsome, peerless face.

His aura was profound, as if he were a deity from the Heavenly Realm, noble and magnificent.

I was careless… Luo Li’s phoenix eyes darkened, and a bold idea suddenly formed in her mind.

But she quickly discarded it.

Gu Qing’s Dao Protector was comparable to the Divine Fire Realm; she couldn’t deal with him at all.

Although the Nirvana Extinction Realm was terrifying and could annihilate all Dao laws, her soul power was insufficient. Destroying a Saint Realm triple-layer was already her limit.

But how to bluff her way through… Luo Li’s mind raced. Her expression suddenly turned angry, and she let out a cold snort, scolding him.

“Senior Brother, have you become Dao Companions with Bai Suying? She is my Imperial Father’s legitimate wife, the Empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire.”

“Moreover, by doing this, are you being fair to Senior Sister?”

“…”

Gu Qing descended before her, his gaze scrutinizing, until Luo Li felt uncomfortable. Only then did he speak.

“Didn’t your Imperial Father die?”

“The heavens will rain, and Mother will marry. What, do you want to be an unfilial daughter?”

“He really is a lecherous fiend, coveting even a married woman, bah…” Luo Li spat inwardly.

However, she also breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was considered settled.

“Senior Brother, nominally, she is my Mother. Can Senior Brother give her up?”

“With Senior Brother’s peerless talent, what kind of woman can’t you have? If Senior Brother truly needs women, I will go and capture a few Saintesses for Senior Brother right now.” Luo Li maintained an angry expression.

“No, she is unique.” Gu Qing shook his head, then asked.

“Do you have a grudge against her?”

“No, I don’t.”

Hearing that Gu Qing refused to give up, Luo Li replied sullenly, turning her head away, unwilling to bother with Gu Qing.

Bai Suying indeed had no grudge against her. In fact, before she dug out Ye Hao’s bones, Bai Suying was quite good to her.

The main reason was that she was good at pleasing people, and the favored concubines in the Imperial Palace all had good relationships with her.

Her desire for these women to die was simply a desire to kill all of Luo Ling’s women.

What her Mother couldn’t have, no one else should even dream of having.

Her Mother’s clan was destroyed, so other families shouldn’t expect to survive either.

That was all.

“That’s good. From now on, you two should get along well. Oh, and since Ye Hao is dead, don’t slaughter cities anymore.”

Gu Qing’s eyes held a smile that didn’t reach them, and his tone carried an undeniable authority.

He was certain that Luo Li absolutely wanted to eliminate him and Bai Suying.

He wasn’t afraid, though. Gu Qing was confident he could suppress her for life, making Luo Li forever his tool against the protagonist.

But Bai Suying was different.

He couldn’t always protect Bai Suying.

“Why not? It’s either me or her.”

Luo Li’s anger flared.

It was fine when she had no strength before.

Now that she had strength, she didn’t want to tolerate it for another moment.

“Because I am your Senior Brother.”

Gu Qing looked at her, his demeanor noble and full of empress-like aura. Suddenly, a mischievous thought arose, and he reached out his hands, pinching her cheeks hard.

The sensation was delicate and smooth, like silk.

“Ouch…”

Luo Li’s phoenix eyes first widened, then her cheeks turned completely red.

Although she was ruthless and cunning, she was ultimately a young woman who had not yet experienced intimacy.

Being pinched on the face by a man made her flustered. Her phoenix eyes became misty, and her ears turned red with shyness, making her alluring and charming, losing all trace of her domineering empress-like demeanor.

However, Luo Li quickly recovered, and immediately, her anger soared. The Phoenix Nirvana Fire erupted around her, incinerating everything.

“Senior Brother, men and women should not touch. Please respect yourself, Senior Brother.” She gritted her teeth.

Although she wanted Gu Qing to submit to her, she didn’t want to be taken advantage of.

“Hahahaha, interesting…”

Gu Qing laughed heartily. The cold-blooded and ruthless female villain actually had a shy, feminine side.

“Come with me.”

He flicked his sleeve, and a surge of power swept her onto the void flying boat.

“I’m not going, I still have to get revenge.” Luo Li was furious. Gu Qing’s assertiveness made her extremely angry.

“What revenge? You clearly just want to slaughter cities.”

Gu Qing was somewhat confused.

Luo Li had already gotten her revenge, so why did she insist on massacring billions of innocent people?

These people hadn’t offended Luo Li, had they?

“A group of traitors, they deserve to be executed.” Luo Li said coldly.

“Do you feel no guilt at all for killing so many people?” Gu Qing asked.

“Senior Brother, if you step on billions of ants on the ground, do you feel guilty?” Luo Li retorted.

In her eyes, all living beings were like ants. Killing them was just killing them; where would the guilt come from?

“Amazing…” Gu Qing praised, not knowing if Luo Li was inherently bloodthirsty or psychologically twisted.

However, one thing was certain: Luo Li was definitely a villain who regarded all living beings as ants.

“Find an opportunity to remind Master…” he thought to himself.

Luo Li was born with a rebellious streak and could never be tamed.

Even now, before gaining power, she was already so domineering and cold-blooded. Once she gained power, it would be ‘I am the only one under heaven, those who obey prosper, those who defy perish’.

Keeping Luo Li by his side was too dangerous; he had to be constantly on guard to avoid any mishaps.

“Senior Brother, where are you taking me?”

Seeing Gu Qing deep in thought, Luo Li asked angrily, her small expression vivid, both majestic and charming, full of myriad allure.

She secretly gritted her teeth. Daring to force her, once she seduced Senior Brother’s true affection, she would make Senior Brother refine pills for her for a lifetime.

She would turn Senior Brother, a handsome man, into a slovenly Old Scoundrel.

The thought of Gu Qing disheveled and unkempt almost made her burst out laughing.

“To the Demonic Beast Territory.”

Gu Qing looked at her.

Taking Luo Li away was just to prevent her from wasting more time here.

A villain should have a villain’s purpose.

Hurry up and find him a Mother.

The reward for stabbing a Mother was too tempting.

“Then what are you taking me for?”

Luo Li was a bit confused.

Did Gu Qing discover a great opportunity in the Demonic Beast Territory and want to take her to find it together?

Could Gu Qing be eyeing her beauty?

It must be… Luo Li suddenly felt excited inside.

Making Senior Brother refine pills was within reach.

“You don’t want to go? Then get off.”

The void flying boat had already flown hundreds of millions of miles from the Divine Phoenix Empire; it was time for Luo Li to get off.

Gu Qing flicked his sleeve, and Luo Li was teleported out.

“…”

“Senior Brother, you really deserve to die…”

Luo Li’s face alternated between red and white, infuriated… “System, I want to draw a prize!”

Back in his room, Gu Qing immediately pulled out his Mother.

A large roulette appeared in his mind, spinning rapidly, finally stopping on a black dragon.

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Calamity Black Dragon.】

“???”

“What is this thing?”

【Calamity Black Dragon, master of all calamities, capable of devouring the calamities of all living beings, and also capable of spreading calamity, curses, strangeness, inauspiciousness, death, and darkness across the human world…】

After listening for a while, Gu Qing understood.

In short, the black dragon was the evolved form of the “Red Hair Source”.

It evolved by devouring all negative energy in the world, as well as the essence of all living beings.

“Claim!”

As soon as he spoke, a ferocious black dragon tattoo appeared on Gu Qing’s back, lifelike, as if it were a living creature.

At the same time, a surge of knowledge poured into his mind.

This was the method for controlling the black dragon.

Gu Qing’s eyes flickered, and he remembered the Shi Family in the Central God Domain.

The Shi Family was a good experimental subject.

Thinking of it, Gu Qing immediately began. He chanted a spell, and black and red light surged around him, exuding an eerie and ominous aura.

If one looked closely, within the black and red mist, there seemed to be an infinitely evil hell, eerie, terrifying, and ominous.

Soon, the curse was complete. Once the strange calamity spread throughout the Shi Family, it would be time for him to harvest.

Gu Qing adjusted his mindset, drank the liquid from the Golden Gourd in one gulp, and a vast energy exploded within his body, imbued with profound Dao rhymes of laws.

Gu Qing circulated the Chaos Immortal Scripture to refine it, and under the impact of the profound Dao rhymes of laws, he instantly fell into an epiphany.

Void Dao Realm sixth-layer early stage, middle stage, late stage, peak… Void Dao Realm seventh-layer.

As Gu Qing’s cultivation rapidly increased, his physique also evolved. Every drop of his blood essence glowed with a faint golden light.

When all his blood transformed into gold, that would be the Profound Yellow Body.

“Hmm? Hollow Willow… Yang Dieyi…”

Arriving in the Eastern Region, Barren Continent, Demonic Beast Territory, He Ni’s divine sense swept across, her vast Saintly Will traversing the Barren Continent.

When she saw a willow tree in a primitive tribe, blackened all over by lightning, with only a few willow branches verdant and jade-like, swaying in the wind.

She was immediately stunned.

Isn’t this her mortal enemy?
