9: Chapter 9: Baby's Heart is Suffering

"Rumble."

Just then, within the treasure light, the earth began to crack, revealing a massive, bottomless black hole.

"The Secret Realm has opened, charge!"

Countless Cultivators rushed toward the treasure light.

After Gu Beichen nodded at Lei Wanting, he flew toward the treasure light.

At the same time, a flash of spiritual light appeared near the treasure light, and Li Qing and Mu Qiuxue emerged.

"Senior Brother, the Secret Realm has opened, let's go in." Mu Qiuxue's eyes lit up with joy, and she grabbed Li Qing's hand, rushing into the treasure light.

"No, Junior Sister Qiuxue, let go first."

Li Qing felt like crying but had no tears; for the past few days, Mu Qiuxue had been inseparable from him, never letting go of his hand.

"I won't."

A coquettish voice from Mu Qiuxue drifted on the wind.

The black hole was bottomless.

An incense stick of time later.

Li Qing and Mu Qiuxue finally stood on solid ground.

A massive complex of palaces appeared before them.

At this moment, thousands of people were gathered outside the palace, yet no one had entered.

A pale cyan light barrier blocked everyone.

"A Restriction."

With a single glance, Li Qing knew what was going on.

He only glanced at the Restriction before looking toward the front of the crowd, where Gu Beichen was fawning over a stunning woman.

"Junior Sister Mu, your lover." Li Qing pointed in the direction of Gu Beichen.

【Go on, go on, go over to your lover.】

【Tsk tsk, this Gu Beichen truly lives up to being a great stud; no matter where he goes, he's always fishing for girls.】

【The current girlfriend meeting the little lover, what a textbook Shura field.】

【Sitting back to eat the melon, hehe.】

However, Mu Qiuxue only glanced at the direction Li Qing pointed and withdrew her gaze.

"What are you saying, Senior Brother? You're not allowed to talk nonsense; I don't know that person." Mu Qiuxue shot Li Qing a coquettish glare.

Li Qing: "..."

【What?】

【Did I hear that right?】

【Not familiar with Gu Beichen.】

【Listen to that, is that something a human would say?】

【Is this Mu Qiuxue sick in the head?】

Li Qing looked at her with a face full of surprise.

"Oh? Isn't this Fellow Daoist Mu from the Taiyi Immortal Sect?"

Just then, the stunning woman's gaze suddenly turned toward where Li Qing and Mu Qiuxue were standing. A flash of spiritual light shimmered on her body, and she appeared right in front of them.

"So it is Saintess Yin Yue of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land." Mu Qiuxue responded politely.

【Saintess Yin Yue of the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land?】

【Damn, another female protagonist.】

【Wow, just as written in the book—curvy with long legs, a face that could topple cities, like a Fairy descending to the mortal realm, beautiful beyond compare.】

【It's really a waste on that dog Gu Beichen.】

"Who is speaking?"

Saintess Yin Yue frowned slightly.

The speaker's words were extremely rude.

"No one is speaking." Mu Qiuxue blinked.

"Interesting, this Saintess Yin Yue seems able to hear Senior Brother's inner voice too." Mu Qiuxue thought to herself.

【Is this Saintess Yin Yue suffering from auditory hallucinations? No one is talking.】

【I remember according to the records in the book, her Crimson Sun Profound Immortal Body shouldn't have awakened yet; this kind of mental confusion shouldn't be happening.】

This time, Saintess Yin Yue heard it clearly; someone was definitely speaking.

"Crimson Sun Profound Immortal Body."

I actually possess an Immortal Body, yet I didn't know it.

It started again.

No one opened their mouth, it wasn't sound transmission, could it be an inner voice?

It's this Fellow Daoist from the Taiyi Immortal Sect in front of me.

Saintess Yin Yue's gaze fell on Li Qing.

The ability to hear someone's inner voice is simply unheard of.

Why can I hear his inner voice? This is too bizarre.

【According to the original plot, Saintess Yin Yue already has feelings for Gu Beichen. Gu Beichen has the Great Desolate Dao Body, with the Dao Body Manifestation: Heavenly Heart Gives Birth to a Bright Moon.】

【The Crimson Sun Profound Immortal Body that Saintess Yin Yue awakens has the Immortal Body Manifestation: Heavenly Heart Gives Birth to a Morning Sun.】

【One Yin and one Yang constitute the Dao; the two are a heaven-ordained pair of Dual Cultivation Dao Companions.】

【I have to say, that dog Gu Beichen really has great luck with women.】

"What?"

"Heaven-ordained Dao Companions."

Yin Yue's heart trembled slightly.

No wonder I have an inexplicable sense of closeness to Gu Beichen.

No, wait, why do I also feel a sense of closeness to the person next to Mu Qiuxue? Why is this happening?

What is going on here?

【Tsk tsk, when the day comes for Saintess Yin Yue to awaken, that will be the time Gu Beichen comes to propose marriage.】

【At that time, the Heavenly Palace Sacred Land won't be able to refuse even if they want to.】

【Saintess Yin Yue has the Crimson Sun Profound Immortal Body. When the time comes, her Yang will be too strong and her Yin too weak. She must engage in Dual Cultivation with the Great Desolate Dao Body to absorb the power of the bright moon to balance the Yin and Yang within her body; you won't be able to refuse.】

【Most importantly, there is only one Great Desolate Dao Body in the world, Gu Beichen. Truly incredible.】

"So that's how it is."

Saintess Yin Yue nodded slightly.

【It's a pity. Although Saintess Yin Yue loves Gu Beichen to death, she still cannot escape the fate of being abandoned and eventually dies of depression.】

【Gu Beichen's life motto: All women in the mortal world are but grass and mustard; only a Fairy is worthy of Beichen.】

"What?"

Saintess Yin Yue and Mu Qiuxue were both shaken.

Gu Beichen is actually the type to love and leave?

A look of disbelief appeared in Saintess Yin Yue's eyes.

He is clearly peerlessly elegant, a person of deep emotion and character.

Could I have misjudged him?

"Who are you? Why are you holding Sister Qiuxue's hand? Let go!"

At this moment, Gu Beichen walked over, looking at Li Qing with burning rage, killing intent in his eyes like a drawn sword.

【He's here, he's here. Brother, you've finally arrived. Do you know how I've been living these past few days?】

【Your Sister Qiuxue is not human; she's been dragging me around for three days. My heart is bitter.】

"Pfft."

Hearing this, Saintess Yin Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This person is truly interesting.

Mu Qiuxue glared fiercely at Li Qing.

This Saintess is holding your hand, and you're feeling bitter about it?

Even that dog Gu Beichen hasn't touched this Saintess's hand.

The more Mu Qiuxue thought about it, the angrier she became, and she pinched Li Qing's arm hard, making him gasp in pain.

【Why are you pinching people? Brother Beichen, save me.】

"Senior Brother..."

This again drew a coquettish glare from Mu Qiuxue.

Saintess Yin Yue watched the couple-like interaction between the two, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

"I'm telling you, it's not me who's holding her hand, do you believe me?" Li Qing raised his hand, trying to pull it away, but couldn't at all.

And this scene had long since attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, who began to gather to watch the show.

"Oh? Isn't that Saintess Mu Qiuxue of the Taiyi Immortal Sect? She's really holding hands with someone."

"The rumors are actually true. Look at how clingy they are; their feelings must be deep."

"This person looks very unfamiliar. Strange, to be favored by an Immortal Sect Saintess, he can't be a nobody. Who is he?"

"Tsk tsk, current and former, what a textbook Shura field."

Li Qing: "..."

Damn it, how did the melon-eating land on my head?

【Ding, detected that the Host has become a part of the big melon.】

【Ding, all Restrictions on the Host during melon-eating are lifted.】

【Ding, come on Host, the System believes in you.】

Li Qing: "..."

"System, you heartless thing, you're actually eating the Host's melon. My heart hurts."

Li Qing was so angry.

This unscrupulous System really loves to watch the chaos.
