2: Chapter 2: A Secret Meeting with the Female Lead Late at Night, and I Quickly Pulled Out a Life-Saving Elixir!

Gu Changsheng looked at the Medicinal Pill that had suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was the size of a longan fruit.

Its entire body was golden-yellow.

Nine purple pill patterns swirled around its surface.

A rich medicinal fragrance wafted toward his nose.

With just one breath, it felt as if every pore in his body had opened up.

The speed of the spiritual Qi circulating within his body instantly quickened by several degrees.

"Good stuff."

Gu Changsheng praised it.

"If this thing were thrown into the Lower Realm, those country bumpkins would probably beat each other's brains out for it."

Even in the Upper Realm, this was a rare treasure.

A Rank Nine level Medicinal Pill—even those old monsters would go green with envy upon seeing it.

Gu Changsheng toyed with the Medicinal Pill.

He was thinking about how to use it.

His current body, though possessing the Chaos Dao Bone, had not yet fully undergone its Awakening.

Consuming this pill would indeed boost his strength significantly.

However.

If it were used merely to increase a bit of strength, it would be a waste.

He was a villain.

When a villain does things, they must focus on maximizing benefits.

"This pill..."

Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

He stared at the pill patterns on the Medicinal Pill for a while.

Suddenly.

He smiled.

He smiled very happily.

"If consumed by a crippled person, it can recast the Dantian."

"This is practically tailor-made for that Lin Xiao."

Gu Changsheng put the Medicinal Pill back into the System space.

He stood up and stretched lazily.

His joints let out a series of crackling pops.

Since he was going to be a villain, he had to do it thoroughly.

Just fighting and killing was too boring.

To kill someone and destroy their heart—that was the kingly way.

"Gu Yi!"

Gu Changsheng called out.

From the darkness, Gu Yi appeared once more.

"Young Lord."

Gu Changsheng straightened his collar.

"Let's go."

"To Cold Moon Palace."

"I'm going to see Su Qingyue."

Gu Yi was somewhat surprised.

"Young Lord, now?"

"It's already past midnight."

Gu Changsheng glanced at him.

"You also know it's past midnight?"

"The dead of night is the best time for a heart-to-heart."

Gu Yi quickly lowered his head.

"This subordinate spoke too much."

"This subordinate will go arrange the Cloud Carriage immediately."

Gu Changsheng waved his hand to stop him.

"No need for such trouble."

"We'll fly there directly."

After saying that.

Gu Changsheng pushed off with his toes.

His entire being transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.

Gu Yi hurriedly followed.

The two of them, one after the other, pierced through the night sky.

Cold Moon Palace was on the other end of the Floating Island.

It was built atop an extremely frigid ice peak.

Before they even got close, a bone-chilling cold could be felt.

Gu Changsheng landed on the square in front of the palace.

The ground was paved with thick Black Ice.

Reflecting the moonlight from the sky, it was bright enough to be dazzling.

Several gate-keeping maidservants turned pale with fright upon seeing Gu Changsheng.

*Thud, thud.*

They knelt all across the ground.

"Greetings, Young Lord!"

Their voices were trembling.

In this Changsheng Gu Clan, Gu Changsheng was the heavens.

No one dared to be disrespectful to him.

Moreover.

This Young Lord's temper had been getting increasingly eccentric lately.

Gu Changsheng didn't even look at them.

He pushed open the palace doors directly.

*Creak—*

The heavy ice doors gave a dull sound of friction.

An even colder surge of icy air rushed out.

Gu Changsheng stepped inside.

The palace was huge and empty.

Only a few Night-Luminous Pearls emitted a faint, eerie light.

In the center of the hall.

There was a massive Cold Ice Jade Bed.

A young girl in white sat upon it.

Hearing the sound of the door opening.

The girl raised her head.

It was an exquisitely beautiful face.

Her skin was as white as snow.

However, she was too thin.

Her chin was sharp, and her eye sockets were sunken.

Her eyes were filled with hatred.

She stared fixedly at the entering Gu Changsheng.

If looks could kill, Gu Changsheng would probably have been sliced into a thousand pieces by now.

Gu Changsheng walked to the ice bed.

He didn't speak.

He just quietly looked at Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue bit her lip.

She bit it so hard it broke.

A trace of fresh blood seeped out.

It looked exceptionally striking against her deathly pale face.

"What did you come here for?"

Su Qingyue finally spoke.

Her voice was hoarse and carried a sob.

"Have you come to humiliate me again?"

"Gu Changsheng, just kill me!"

"I will absolutely never yield!"

Gu Changsheng smiled slightly.

He sat down by the edge of the ice bed.

He even pushed his luck by scooting closer to Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue shrank back in fear.

Like a frightened little rabbit.

"Why are you hiding?"

Gu Changsheng reached out and pinched Su Qingyue's chin.

He forced her to raise her head and look at him.

His fingers were cold.

But Su Qingyue's face was even colder.

"It's not like I'm going to eat you."

Gu Changsheng's thumb gently caressed Su Qingyue's cheek.

The touch was smooth and oily.

She truly was a beauty in the making.

No wonder that Lin Xiao would risk his life to protect her.

"Let go!"

Su Qingyue struggled desperately.

Both her hands grabbed Gu Changsheng's wrist, trying to pry him off.

But her strength was too small.

To the current Gu Changsheng, it was no different from an itch.

Gu Changsheng didn't let go.

Instead, he increased the pressure.

"I heard from Gu Yi that you miss that trash?"

Su Qingyue's movements stiffened.

Tears instantly flowed down.

"Brother Lin Xiao is not trash!"

"He will definitely come to save me!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years..."

Gu Changsheng interrupted her.

"Enough, enough."

"Stop reciting your scriptures."

"I know that phrase."

He released his grip.

He wiped his hand on his clothes in distaste.

"Thirty years, indeed."

"Do you think that trash can survive for even three months?"

Su Qingyue's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

"What did you do to him?"

Gu Changsheng stood up.

He took two steps with his back to Su Qingyue.

"Nothing much."

"I just heard that in the Black Wind Mountain Range, he's being hunted like a dog."

"He eats tree bark and drinks muddy water."

"Oh, right."

Gu Changsheng turned around.

His face wore that kind of hair-raising smile.

"It's said he also broke a leg."

"He's crawling now."

"You!"

Su Qingyue trembled all over with rage.

"You're lying!"

"Brother Lin Xiao is exceptionally gifted, he will definitely..."

"Exceptionally gifted?"

Gu Changsheng sneered.

"His Dantian is shattered to that extent; what talent is left?"

"Unless..."

Gu Changsheng intentionally paused.

Su Qingyue immediately pressed: "Unless what?"

Gu Changsheng walked back to the edge of the ice bed.

He leaned down.

He leaned close to Su Qingyue's ear.

His warm breath puffed against Su Qingyue's neck.

"Unless there's an Immortal Pill or miraculous medicine to help him reshape his Dantian."

"Otherwise, he'll be a cripple for the rest of his life."

The light in Su Qingyue's eyes dimmed.

Immortal Pills and miraculous medicines.

Those kinds of things only existed in the Upper Realm.

Brother Lin Xiao was in the Lower Realm; how could he possibly obtain one?

Despair.

A deep despair enveloped her.

Gu Changsheng watched the change in her expression.

He was very satisfied.

That's it.

Only by making her despair first would the next part of the play work well.

"Actually."

Gu Changsheng straightened his back.

He unhurriedly pulled a jade bottle from his robes (actually from the System space).

"That kind of Medicinal Pill—I have it."

Su Qingyue abruptly raised her head.

She stared fixedly at that jade bottle.

Her breathing became rapid.

"Look."

Gu Changsheng pulled out the bottle stopper.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire hall.
