2: With love potion in hand, I have beauties.

That night.

Inside Scholarly Fragrance Courtyard, candlelight flickered.

Su Li was wearing a semi-transparent red gauze dress, her snow-white skin faintly visible.

She stood by the round table, her eyes fixed on the tightly shut door, harboring a faint anticipation for someone's arrival.

Time passed minute by minute, and the night grew deeper.

The door remained still, and Su Li's eyes gradually dimmed, a wave of disappointment rising in her heart.

Just then, a pair of warm, large hands wrapped around her slender waist from behind. The man's solid chest pressed against her, enveloping her entirely.

Su Li closed her eyes, leaning securely into this familiar embrace, enjoying the rare tenderness.

The man behind her took a deep breath, inhaling the faint fragrance on her body, and showed a satisfied expression.

"He Ascended. Are you cold at night?" he asked softly.

Su Li opened her eyes, which were full of charm: "If you are here, I won't be cold."

"What if I didn't come?" the man asked again.

Su Li suddenly turned around, cupped his face with both hands, and looked at him with eyes full of tenderness: "If you didn't come, I would wait forever, until you appeared."

The corner of the man's mouth curled into a smile, his voice deep and domineering: "From today onward, the name Su Li belongs to me, Cao Bu."

Su Li looked up at him, her gaze bright and resolute: "From now on, wherever you are, I will be."

Two hours later.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Inheritance progress increased by 5%. You have gained 5 lottery opportunities.]

Cao Bu's mind stirred slightly.

The attribute panel, visible only to him, appeared.

Host: Cao Bu.

System: villain inheritance lottery system.

Inheritance Target: son of destiny Gu Qingtian.

Inheritance Progress: 10%.

Lottery Opportunities: 5 times.

Cultivation: Heavenly Bridge Realm First Level.

System Space: Primal Yin-Yang Art, 10 billion Spirit Stones, Thousand Illusions Formless Art, Taiyi Sword, longevity pill.

These five treasures were what he had obtained from his previous five lottery draws.

The Primal Yin-Yang Art is a Rankless Cultivation Technique, but unfortunately, his Dantian is incomplete, so he cannot Cultivate it.

10 billion Spirit Stones are not worth mentioning to an Imperial Clan like the Gu Clan.

The Thousand Illusions Formless Art was originally a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, but its current Rank is Supreme Emperor Scripture, second only to Immortal Scripture.

Rumor has it that Gu Qingtian Cultivates a damaged Immortal Scripture.

However, it is unknown who he passed it on to.

But Cao Bu estimates that his two sons must have received this damaged Immortal Scripture.

The Taiyi Sword is Cao Bu's Natal Sword, which will improve as his Cultivation increases.

Unfortunately, his Cultivation has been stagnant at the Heavenly Bridge Realm First Level, and the Taiyi Sword's Rank is the corresponding Fourth Rank Spiritual Artifact.

He tested the Taiyi Sword, and it was even more powerful than ordinary Fifth Rank Spiritual Artifacts.

The longevity pill can extend life by a thousand years.

A Heavenly Bridge Realm expert has a lifespan of a thousand years, so he doesn't need it yet.

"System, lottery draw, all in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have drawn the love gu.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have drawn the samsara shore flower.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have drawn one Law Manifestation Designation Card.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have drawn one heaven mending pill.]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have drawn the yin-yang demonic source.]

The love gu: Under the System, a woman infected by the Gu will subconsciously and gradually fall for the Host, unable to extricate herself.

The samsara shore flower grows at the boundary between life and death. After consumption, it allows one to briefly glimpse the true meaning of Reincarnation, helping them break through Realm restrictions.

The Law Manifestation Designation Card is used when Breaking Through to Law Manifestation, allowing one to freely choose a Law Manifestation as their Natal Law Manifestation.

The heaven mending pill can reshape a damaged Dantian, allowing one's Cultivation Foundation to return to Perfection.

Cao Bu trembled all over, and a fervent light burst forth from his eyes.

Three hundred years of dormancy led to this moment!

The yin-yang demonic source, once refined, can transform the user into the Primal Yin-Yang Demonic Body, granting near-perfect compatibility with the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.

Coupled with the Primal Yin-Yang Art, this clearly intends for Cao Bu to Achieve the Dao and Become an Emperor using the Yin-Yang Law.

"Li'er, set up a Barrier and Protect me." Cao Bu's voice was hoarse, his eyes burning with hundreds of years of suppressed madness.

He would never forget how he endured these past few centuries.

Every day he lived on a knife's edge, and every step was like standing on the brink of an abyss.

He constantly had to guard against Gu Qingtian noticing him, or else the blood feud for the thousands of lives of the Cao Family would never be avenged.

For this, he had to grovel and serve the enemy who destroyed his clan as if he were his own father.

Now that Gu Qingtian has finally Ascended, his Dantian is about to be restored, and with this yin-yang demonic source, it is time for Gu Qingtian and his Gu Clan to pay their blood debt!

Su Li looked at Cao Bu's current appearance, feeling shock and uncertainty in her heart.

On the surface, Cao Bu looked like a madman, but his eyes were terrifyingly clear.

"Don't worry. Unless a Great Emperor personally arrives, no one can see through this place."

She lightly raised her fair hand, and ten thousand layers of Barriers instantly formed.

Cao Bu sat cross-legged and, under Su Li's scrutinizing gaze, swallowed the heaven mending pill without hesitation.

The next moment, a brilliant golden light lit up his Dantian.

The heaven mending pill transformed into thousands of golden threads, moving between the shattered walls of the Dantian.

Wherever the golden threads passed, the cracks healed at a visible speed.

The sound of rushing rivers came from within his body, and his originally depleted Spiritual Vein regained vitality.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light erupted from his Dantian, illuminating the room as if it were daytime. The brand new Dantian was like cast glaze, with Spiritual Liquid churning inside, emitting Spiritual Power fluctuations purer than before.

Cao Bu's body shook, and he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, his eyes bursting with vitality.

For the first time in four hundred years, he felt such abundant Spiritual Power flowing unimpeded through his Meridians.

"It's still not enough!"

He shouted in a low voice and took out the yin-yang demonic source without hesitation.

As soon as the sphere of intertwining black and white Energies appeared, the Spiritual Qi inside the entire sleeping chamber violently shook.

Cao Bu opened his mouth and swallowed it, immediately causing his entire body to violently shake.

Black and white Energies surged out from his seven orifices, forming a Yin and Yang vortex around him.

Inside the Dantian, the newly formed Spiritual Sea violently churned. The yin-yang demonic source transformed into two Flood Dragons, one black and one white, connected head-to-tail in the Spiritual Sea.

With every rotation, Great Dao Runes appeared on the Dantian wall.

Su Li watched this scene in shock.

Cao Bu's Cultivation soared: Heavenly Bridge Realm Second Level, Third Level... eventually stopping at the Heavenly Bridge Realm Peak!

Even more terrifyingly, a Yin and Yang Dao Diagram appeared around him, and the sound of the Great Dao faintly echoed.

Rumor has it that if a Dantian is shattered, not even a Great Emperor, aside from an Immortal, can restore it.

Yet at this moment, Cao Bu not only recovered his Dantian but also forged the legendary Primal Yin-Yang Demonic Body.

Watching Cao Bu bathed in the Yin-Yang Two Energies, Su Li's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

This man seemed to have undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

Her heart surged, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Cao Bu's arms.

"One day, you will step on Gu Qingtian."

She leaned against Cao Bu's chest, her warm breath filled with boundless anticipation.

"This is for you."

Cao Bu's mind stirred, and he took out the enchanting samsara shore flower from the System Space.

"Th-this is!" Su Li's beautiful eyes widened, and her red lips slightly parted: "The samsara shore flower?!"

She looked at Cao Bu in shock: "Where did you get this kind of rare treasure?"

Cao Bu gently stroked her smooth long hair: "Don't worry about that. There will be more surprises later."

"You happen to Cultivate the Law of Reincarnation. Although this flower cannot allow you to Achieve the Dao and Become an Emperor directly, it is more than enough to help you Break Through your Realm."

Saying this, he took out another crystal clear love gu: "After you Break Through, find a way to make Leng Yue consume this."

Su Li raised her hand to take it, staring doubtfully at the Gu worm in her hand.

With her cultivation at Quasi-Emperor Third Level, she could tell this was a Gu worm unique to Southern Border, but she couldn't see through its profound mystery.

"What kind of Gu worm is this? What does it do?" she asked curiously.

Cao Bu curled his lips into an evil, charming smile: "It's a love gu. As long as Leng Yue consumes it, she will slowly fall in love with me, unable to extricate herself."

Su Li blinked her beautiful eyes and suddenly pouted: "If you get Leng Yue, will you abandon me?"

"That Iceberg Beauty has a cold face all day long. If you really manage to conquer her, you must feel a great sense of accomplishment, right?"

She felt a little sour inside. Cao Bu was unique in her heart, and she didn't want to share him with anyone else.

Cao Bu affectionately pinched the tip of her nose: "Silly girl, you are the only one in my heart forever. Everyone else is just a plaything."

Hearing this, Su Li felt a sweetness in her heart, and her entire body melted into Cao Bu's embrace.

She was completely inseparable from this man who had endured for hundreds of years.

The tenderness Gu Qingtian couldn't give, he could.

Even if she died, she would stick by Cao Bu forever.

She suddenly remembered something, raised her small face, and asked worriedly: "Right, Gu Qingtian has already Ascended. How do you plan to deal with the Gu Family?"

"Everyone in the entire Gu Clan, except for me and Yingying, is your enemy."

"Especially Luo Qingcheng. She is only one step away from becoming an Emperor. During this Secluded Cultivation, she probably has an 80% certainty of Achieving the Dao and becoming an Emperor."

The more she analyzed, the less confident Su Li felt.

This situation looks like certain death no matter how you look at it.
