38: Chapter 38 Holy crap, that's Yue Luoyu's bib!

"Presumptuous! Your marriage was arranged by me personally. How can you just call it off whenever you want?" Yue Luoyu scolded.

"I don't like Tang Yi. Even if I die, I won't marry him."

【This beauty must be Yue Luoyu's niece, Yue Luoqian, right? Gu Beichen used a hero-saves-the-beauty trick to trick her into his hands. She's so easily deceived.】

【However, she isn't the female protagonist, and she looks fairly average, so after Gu Beichen obtained the Soul Fruit, he dumped her.】

【How miserable.】

Li Qing shook his head.

"What?"

"He is using Luoqian."

A flash of killing intent appeared in Wu Luoluo's eyes.

【But this Yue Luoyu isn't the female protagonist either, yet she is stunningly beautiful. Should I try to woo her? After all, my combat power has reached the Great Power Realm, so we would be a good match.】

Hmph, this big villain actually wants to pursue the Grand Elder.

He probably doesn't know that the Grand Elder cultivates the Ruthless Dao.

It would be a miracle if you could actually win her over.

【I remember that Yue Luoyu cultivates the Ruthless Dao. That's very difficult to deal with, so I'd better forget about it. Trying to cultivate affection from ruthlessness is too hard. It would be easier to pursue the proprietress of Tianxian Tower; that would be much simpler.】

Wu Luoluo was initially quite happy to hear that Li Qing had given up on pursuing the Grand Elder.

But when she heard Li Qing wanting to pursue other women, she became angry. Am I really that scary?

"Luoqian, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. How long have you even known him?" A young man nearby stepped forward and said.

"Tang Yi, matters of the heart aren't about how long you've spent together, but that moment of attraction. It cannot be forced. Do you understand?" Yue Luoqian said coldly.

"I am determined to call off this engagement."

Yue Luoqian looked at Tang Yi with a determined expression.

Upon hearing this, Yue Luoyu's expression turned cold, and just as she was about to scold her.

"Boom."

A nearby mountain Peak suddenly had dense Dao patterns emerge on its surface, and the Void Realm began to ripple.

"Oh no, the Moon Spirit Pool has been emptied!"

Yue Luoyu's expression changed drastically.

【Tsk tsk, Gu Beichen is finally smart for once, knowing how to team up with someone to lure the tiger away from the mountain.】

"What?"

Wu Luoluo looked shocked.

She glared at Li Qing reproachfully. If he knew about the plan to lure the tiger away, why didn't he think about it in his mind sooner?

"Hum."

A brilliant divine light shot up into the sky from within the mountain Peak, and two figures flew out of the mountain along with the light.

"Haha, fragrant, it's truly damn fragrant."

A wild laugh rang out in the sky. A middle-aged man was holding a red object in his hand, sniffing it frantically.

"That thing is..."

Yue Luoyu's expression changed drastically.

【Holy crap, that's Yue Luoyu's bodice! Brother, you're awesome. You dare to steal the bodice of a woman who cultivates the Ruthless Dao, and she's even in the Great Power Realm? I don't admire walls, but I admire you.】

This person is too shameless.

Cold light flashed in Wu Luoluo's eyes.

"This is too much bullying!"

Yue Luoyu was furious.

"Brother Beichen, we've got the item, let's go!" A loud shout rang out in the sky.

"Brother Chen, let's go!"

Yue Luoqian clutched Gu Beichen's arm tightly.

"Go?"

A curve appeared on the corner of Gu Beichen's mouth. Suddenly, the true essence within his body surged, shaking Yue Luoqian's hands away, and he slapped her on the back.

Caught off guard, Yue Luoqian was sent flying towards Yue Luoyu with that slap.

However, Yue Luoyu ignored her. Just as she was about to chase after the other two.

A brilliant sword light suddenly appeared in the sky, directly severing Yue Luoqian's legs.

The person who struck was none other than Gu Beichen.

"Ah..."

A shrill scream from Yue Luoqian rang out in the sky.

"Luoqian!"

Yue Luoyu was shocked. She turned around and caught her in her arms.

"Aunt, Brother Chen, he..."

Yue Luoqian's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Silly child, he is using you."

Yue Luoyu shook her head, flicked her sleeve, and a ball of divine light landed on the wound, stopping the bleeding.

"Hmph, my Heavenly Palace Sacred Land is not a place you can come and go as you please." Yue Luoyu snorted coldly. She waved her sleeve, and Yue Luoqian flew towards Wu Luoluo, who immediately caught her.

At the same time, Yue Luoyu vanished from where she stood.

"Moon Fall."

A loud shout rang out between heaven and earth. Night fell, and a huge, bright moon smashed towards Gu Beichen and the other two.

"They won't be able to escape."

Seeing this, Wu Luoluo looked happy.

"Not necessarily," Li Qing said calmly.

【Won't be able to escape? You don't even know your Heavenly Palace Sacred Land has a traitor. Yue Luoqian was just a facade to distract you.】

【The one who truly broke the Restriction on the Grand Elder Peak was your other Grand Elder, who is in the Great Power Realm.】

【That old thing doesn't have much Lifespan left, and Gu Beichen made a deal with him using a Lifespan Fruit.】

【He is about to make a move.】

"What?"

The traitor is Grand Elder Yu.

How is this possible?

"Senior, help me!" Seeing this, Gu Beichen's expression changed drastically. His Revered Master's Soul was heavily injured and could not make a move casually.

"Swish."

The next moment, a figure wrapped entirely in a black robe appeared. With just a casual strike, the bright moon was blasted apart.

"Boom."

A terrifying hurricane shockwave appeared in the sky, extending for dozens of miles.

As the bright moon shattered, the figures of Gu Beichen and the others disappeared.

【As expected of Yu Deshui, who is at the Peak of the Great Power Realm. A casual strike broke the attack of Yue Luoyu, who is only in the Early Stage Great Power Realm.】

He really made a move.

A look of disbelief appeared in Wu Luoluo's beautiful eyes.

Just then, a flash of red appeared in the sky and drifted down onto Li Qing's head.

"What the hell is so fragrant?"

Li Qing pulled the red object off his head and discovered it was a red bodice.

Li Qing "..."

【Holy crap, it's over, it's over. A bodice covering my head—I'm going to have bad luck for three years.】

【Yuanzhong Twin Fiends, you two dogs, don't let me see you, or I will definitely tear you apart alive.】

Yuanzhong Twin Fiends?

Those two are the Yuanzhong Twin Fiends at the Peak of the Emperor Sealing Realm.

No wonder they stole the Grand Elder's Moon Spirit Water. They wanted to use the Moon Spirit Water to make a Breakthrough to the Great Power Realm.

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully eating melon.】

【Ding, System reward: 100,000 Modification Points. Current balance: 134,000 points.】

【Ding, the melon skin is a bit cloying; infatuation is treated like a dog.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for triggering an additional System reward.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the System reward: I'm a Blacksmith, and I'm Very Hard.】

Li Qing "..."

"System, what do you mean?"

Li Qing was speechless.

【Ding, whatever the Host thinks it means, that is what it means.】

"Damn it, can you be serious?" Li Qing was so angry.

【Ding, the System is super serious. Are you serious, Host?】

Li Qing "..."

"System, I went through so much trouble, endured humiliation, and came here to watch the drama. Can your rewards be a bit more useful?" Li Qing rolled his eyes in anger.

【Ding, you were clearly in high spirits with a beauty in your arms while watching the drama here.】

【Ding, don't try to fool the System.】

【Ding, don't worry, the System is doing this for the Host's own good. Collect all four treasures, and you'll never hurt your waist again.】

【Ding, System under maintenance...】

Li Qing "..."

Using this trick again.

Fine, you win.
