132: Chapter 132 Don't Bully Me

"Let go of me."

The Woman in Black said angrily.

"Are you sure?"

Li Qing was taken aback.

[That's what you said.]

[It's not that This Young Master doesn't know how to be tender to a beautiful woman.]

What... what does he want to do?

The Woman in Black was slightly startled.

The next moment, Li Qing loosened his grip, and the Woman in Black fell straight toward the ground below.

The Woman in Black: "..."

She still couldn't use her True Essence.

She could only watch helplessly as she crashed toward the ground.

But born stubborn as she was,

She didn't make a single sound.

She stared at Li Qing with a defiant gaze.

[That look... why does it make me feel like I'm some heartbreaker who abandoned her?]

[Yan Ruyue, you're really something.]

*Whoosh.*

Li Qing appeared beside Yan Ruyue as if teleporting and pulled her into his arms again.

"Should I let go again?"

Li Qing chuckled.

"Hmph."

Yan Ruyue turned her head away.

Bastard.

Bullying me because I can't move.

[Look at you, still so stubborn.]

[Well, it wouldn't be Yan Ruyue if she weren't stubborn.]

[Since she has left the Ancient Clan, the plot of her Family forcing her into marriage must have already begun.]

[She was originally a favored daughter of heaven, but unfortunately, her Immortal-Demon Dao Body was born in an era where the Immortal Gates are closed. This Physique has appeared before, and there's simply no solution for it.]

[Even the divine forbidden demonic fruit can only delay the time of her body exploding.]

[So her Family is forcing her into an arranged marriage before she loses her utility value.]

[Yan Ruyue has a stubborn nature and refuses to submit to fate, so she escaped her Family in secret and came here to find the divine forbidden demonic fruit.]

[Later, she meets and falls in love with Gu Beichen. Knowing she doesn't have long to live, she sacrifices all her cultivation to him.]

[But that guy Gu Beichen is truly heartless; he actually just patted his butt and left. Without her cultivation, Yan Ruyue couldn't even make it out of the deep mountains and eventually died with grievances.]

[Tsk tsk, this melodramatic plot... I don't even want to criticize the author.]

What?

I would fall in love with Gu Beichen?

What a joke.

I'm not blind.

Yan Ruyue lightly bit her red lip.

He seems to know everything.

My past.

My future.

My predicament.

Just who are you?

Yan Ruyue finally felt curious about Li Qing.

[Actually, the problem with Yan Ruyue's Physique is quite easy to solve.]

[I wouldn't have had a way before either.]

[But that damn System forced a few great dao demon-extermination pills on me.]

[This stuff isn't just for getting rid of Heart Demons; it can eliminate any kind of demon.]

[By taking this pill and wiping out the Demonic Path within Yan Ruyue's Physique, only the Immortal Body will remain. She will become the most dazzling pearl of the Eastern Barrens.]

What?

He can solve my Physique problem?

Yan Ruyue's heart shook violently.

At this moment, a massive surge of joy filled her heart.

*Pfft.*

Suddenly, Yan Ruyue opened her mouth and sprayed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Under the extreme fluctuations of her state of mind, she had reached her limit.

Her eyes began to blur and slowly closed.

"You're not allowed to bully me..."

Before her consciousness completely faded, Yan Ruyue murmured.

[Bully you?]

[Even a dog wouldn't bully a female protagonist.]

This... scoundrel.

The moment before her consciousness slipped into a coma, Yan Ruyue's heart inexplicably settled into peace.

[So stubborn and always trying to be strong.]

Li Qing rolled his eyes, took a step forward, and disappeared into the horizon.

Not long after.

Li Qing brought Yan Ruyue to the top of a giant Peak.

He gently placed Yan Ruyue on a huge rock and then stuffed a white jade box into her hand.

"Meeting is fate."

"This is as much as I can help."

"Any more is impossible."

Li Qing smiled.

Then, wrapped in a swirl of spiritual light, he disappeared from the giant Peak.

Not long after.

Yan Ruyue's eyes slowly opened.

She sat up from the huge rock, but Li Qing was nowhere to be seen. Her gaze suddenly fell upon her hand.

As if realizing something, Yan Ruyue flicked the jade box open.

"great dao demon-extermination pill."

For some reason, she knew exactly what was inside the box.

Yan Ruyue lightly bit her lip and swallowed the Medicinal Pill directly.

*Hum.*

In just a few moments.

A dazzling divine light suddenly erupted from between Yan Ruyue's eyebrows. Black and white Dao patterns appeared on her body, and strands of black Dao patterns were stripped away, slowly dissipating into the world.

Yan Ruyue's Physique gradually became divine and holy.

*Boom.*

The nearby Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly surged like a tide, gathering toward Yan Ruyue.

Half an hour later.

Her cultivation broke through to the Second Heaven of the Immortal Platform - Profound Emperor Realm.

Three days later.

Her cultivation broke through to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform - Earthly Emperor Realm.

Half a month later.

Yan Ruyue's cultivation broke through to the Peak of the Fourth Heaven of the Immortal Platform - Spirit Emperor Realm.

She was only one step away from the Fifth Heaven of the Immortal Platform - Dao Attainment Realm.

At this time, the tide-like Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi began to dissipate, and Yan Ruyue's eyes snapped open.

A teardrop suddenly slid down from her eye.

Yan Ruyue pulled her knees up, buried her head, and began to cry, her sobbing growing more intense.

The sword hanging over her head had finally been removed.

No one could understand her right now.

Because of this Immortal-Demon Dao Body, her Family had abandoned her.

She remembered clearly that on the day she broke through to the Immortal Platform Realm, there was no cheering or joy from the Family—only silence.

All the Family elders concluded that she wouldn't live past ten years.

Even so, the Family still wanted her to enter an arranged marriage, treating her as a final piece of trash to be utilized.

One could imagine how much pressure she had been under.

If Yan Ruyue hadn't been stubborn by nature and refused to submit to her fate, she would never have met Li Qing.

Rewinding time to three days ago.

Guhuang Town.

Li Qing was drinking on the second floor of the largest tavern in town.

"Move aside, move aside."

At this moment, a familiar voice reached his ears.

Li Qing looked up and was stunned.

Gu Beichen's figure appeared in his sight.

He was actually pulling a stunning woman's hand, heading toward the guest rooms on the third floor.

This stunning woman was actually the Sect Master of the Hua Sect, Hua Zhiyun.

"Let go of me."

"Where are you taking me?"

Hua Zhiyun looked at Gu Beichen with a dazed expression.

[Hua Zhiyun? Why is she here?]

[Nothing good will come of her falling into Gu Beichen's hands.]

[This thread of fate is too strong, isn't it?]

[He's already dragging her to a guest room for Dual Cultivation?]

I heard his inner voice.

He's here.

Hua Zhiyun's gaze swept around and instantly landed on Li Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, I found you."

Hua Zhiyun looked at Li Qing with pleasant surprise.

At this moment, Gu Beichen's gaze also swept over. The moment he saw Li Qing, he felt terrible.

Damn it, why do I run into this bastard everywhere?

"Little Gu, Sect Master Hua is my friend. Where are you trying to take her?" Li Qing smiled faintly.

Gu Beichen subconsciously let go of her hand.

He couldn't help it.

He had been screwed over so many times he had psychological trauma.

Hua Zhiyun took a few steps toward Li Qing and tugged on his sleeve.

"I found you."

"Where is this? I don't know the way."

"Can you take me home?"

Li Qing: "..."

[No way. The original plot said Hua Zhiyun's Pure Yin Dao Bone was dug out, which damaged her Divine Soul, making her very dazed at times.]

[But this is a bit too dazed, isn't it?]

"Shall we do Dual Cultivation?"

Li Qing: "..."
