Yue Mingkong sat quietly inside the white jade carriage.
Green hair[1] spiral bun. The beautiful face, like a fairy, was so beautiful that it overwhelmed the person who saw it.
[1. The traditional Chinese character for "green" has the same character as the simplified Chinese for "blue." Since we have used green before, we will continue to use it.]
His onyx-colored phoenix eyes shone with a calm and profound light.
However, at this moment, he could not help but show a slight red hue on his face.
Yue Mingkong seemed to be quite happy, mixed with a hint of surprise.
Needless to say, Gu Changge's words interrupted his cold demeanor.
After all, these words came straight from Gu Changge's own mouth, making it a completely different matter than when it came from someone else. Even if the others spat out these words with every inch of their heart and soul, he would ignore them, not putting this matter into the heart at all.
But when Gu Changge said it, those empty words suddenly became meaningful.
Yue Mingkong suddenly felt that Gu Changge was acting so strangely.
"So she knows I'm pretty?"
When it came to his own charm, Yue Mingkong never doubted himself. Just think about it, how many women in the world can compare to him in this regard?
However ... Gu Changge had never looked in his direction.
Whether it was in his past or present life, his indifference had made Yue Mingkong extremely frustrated.
“Long Teng had thoughts he shouldn't have done. Dead like this is too cheap for him.”
A thin smile graced his gaze as Gu Changge continued to talk casually as if he was unaware of how Yue Mingkong's mood had changed in a split second.
After all, it costs nothing to say something nice and shower him with occasional compliments.
And he's right.
Hearing his flowery words, Yue Bingkong looked at him without blinking, as if wanting to see through it.
"Long Teng was LOOKING FOR DEATH, he could only blame himself."
He spoke calmly. Although he felt excitement from the bottom of his heart, his pride did not dare to show it.
Yue Mingkong instead wore a mask of apathy.
Nevertheless, Gu Changge—who knew he liked to hear such compliments— don't care at all.
She kept smiling lightly, “Indeed. Even if I didn't kill him, the Mingkong would probably do it, right?”
Because there is no one around ...
Gu Changge only opened himself up to Yue Mingkong.
As a regressor, Yue Mingkong should have known what Long Teng's character was like, yet he still decided to go ahead and make such a plan, using such a method to plot against himself.
Such an action showed how much he hated Long Teng, wanting to kill with a borrowed knife.
That said, Gu Changge had always pampered and spoiled Yue Mingkong, and he did not care about this little thought.
"What do you mean?"
Yue Mingkong acted as if he did not understand Gu Changge's words, looking at him with a cold expression before asking.
Gu Changge was too lazy to expose him, and just laughed, “Long Teng's body is in my hands, what are your plans for him? Tell your husband, and maybe I'll give you his body.”
"You ..." Yue Mingkong froze.
Gu Changge actually hit the nail in the coffin.
He had recently thought of a way to harvest and harvest Long Teng.
The most important part was, of course, a drop of True Dragon Blood. Rumors said that Long Teng had obtained it during the chance encounter and the origin of the blood droplets was very mysterious and ancient.
If he were to purify that drop of rainbow-colored True Dragon Blood, his strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds, giving him the powerful talent and soaring vitality that characterize the True Dragon Clan.
Yue Mingkong never expected Gu Changge to reveal his thoughts so quickly.
Deep down, he felt a little annoyed, even frustrated.
'Why have I never mastered Gu Changge?'
"You'll give me Long Teng's body if I just ask?" Yue Mingkong calmed himself and asked.
"Why? Don't you trust your husband?” Gu Changge wailed.
His expression made Yue Mingkong hard to guess what he was thinking.
So after hearing this, Yue Mingkong fell silent for a few seconds before he replied, “I heard that there is a drop of True Dragon Blood on Long Teng's body. That will be very useful for me.”
At this moment, he began to wonder if Gu Changge would retract his words and ignore his request.
After all.he was cultivating using the Eternity-Eating Demon Art, so his demand for various physical resources was even more frightening compared to ordinary supreme arts.
Long Teng's precious blood droplets came from an ancient and mysterious True Dragon.
With Changge's selfishness, it was highly unlikely that he would let such a thing go.
Even if he were to hide the refinement method, Gu Changge would probably be able to devour it in its entirety with his abilities.
"True Dragon Blood?"
Gu Changge was stunned for a moment, pondering whether the rainbow-colored blood droplets he was clenching were the same True Dragon Blood [2] that Yue Mingkong had meant.
[2. It's the same thing, yeah.]
However, since it was given to him by the Heavenly Dao Treasure Chest, it could be said that this gift came from the system, not from the actual physical resource, which was Long Teng's body.
In other words.there should still be a drop of True Dragon Blood hidden in Long Teng's body.
To be honest, Gu Changge's first thought was exactly what Yue Mingkong believed, and he was tempted to renege on his promise.
This heaven-given resource contained an enormous life force and tyrannical defensive attributes, so naturally, Gu Changge wanted to keep it to himself.
The more the more the merrier.
He pondered it again. Come to think of it, he had already merged with one drop, so taking it again would only give him a small advantage, like taking diluted medicine[3].
[3: It's like when you keep taking the medicine, it loses its effectiveness.]
Moreover, Gu Changge had already sensed Yue Mingkong's growing hatred.
Although his indifferent expression through the curtains did not show such a thing, how could this easily seen fact be hidden from him?
Gu Changge could not help but smile and tease, "First, you planned Ye Ling's legacy, and now you are planning Long Teng's True Dragon Blood."
“Mingkong, what kind of evil thoughts are in your head all day? You are full of evil plots, calculating schemes on your abacus and moving in the dark. ”
It was more than acceptable to ignore it, but when Yue Mingkong heard such provocative words, he could feel an increasing vexation to the surface. The sudden urge to strangle Gu Changge overwhelmed him.
He was even somewhat happy with Gu Changge's previous praise for her.
'What the fuck?'
'He asked me what I was thinking all day?'
'He said I was full of evil plots?'
'Does this bitch have a little self-awareness of her?'
Yue Mingkong did not even know where Ye Ling had gone all this time, but Gu Changge must have been watching her, so he could not even get an idea on how to steal Ye Ling's legacy.
And now this...
With Gu Changge's words, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to see a single drop of this lifetime True Dragon Blood.
With all that in mind, Yue Mingkong simply stopped talking, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to Gu Changge anymore.
'Ha ha. He looks pissed…'
“Just look at your reaction, almost like I'm bluffing you.”
Gu Changge continued to laugh without the slightest bit of self-awareness.
Whooshing sound!
When she heard this, Yue Mingkong suddenly raised her head, her hair fluttering as her beautiful face turned into an angry expression, her silver teeth tightly clenched.
His appearance was like a sharpened blade, aiming to gouge out his face.
“Gu Changge, you are too brave! You just know to bluff me all day! Other than this, do you have nothing else to do in your spare time?
He almost got out of the train. Yue Mingkong's facade cracked, unable to take it anymore. Gu Changge's words gave him a strong urge to kill someone.
He feels hurt.
What does it mean to just 'heard' like he was bullying her?
That is a clear and concise fact!
Seeing how he was about to explode in anger, Gu Changge reined in his playful thoughts and made an offer with a light smile, "I can give Long Teng's body to you, but you must call me husband."
.
.
.
"What?!"
Yue Mingkong was stunned when he heard those words.
His phoenix eyes widened.
He was once again made to doubt his own hearing.
'Is Gu Changge really planning on giving me Long Teng's body?'
'Did he not care about a drop of True Dragon Blood until he was willing to give it away just like that?'
Yue Mingkong suspected that he was actually talking to a fake, a doppelganger Gu Changge with a true conscience and a palpitating heart.
"…Honey."
Immediately—fear with a double attitude Gu Changge—Yue Mingkong coldly completed his request.
A face without a red hue, and a steady heartbeat.
Why is he ashamed to say this word?
An ordinary woman may be ashamed, but she will not be ashamed.
In his last life, he and Gu Changge had officially married as husband and wife. Especially in this life, they also became fiancees without fail.
Saying such a flaccid word was quite normal.
Gu Changge smiled softly and said, "I didn't expect Mekong to be so obedient."
Yue Mingkong suddenly felt as if he had deceived her.
But what is done is still done.
A brilliance flickered in Gu Changge's pocket dimension, as a huge dragon corpse emerged from the void and lay before him.
Long Teng died, so his corpse had returned to its original form. Although he was not really a descendant of a True Dragon, just the drop of blood flowing within his body had given his corpse an unparalleled size.
As if it was made of black liquid iron, the dragon scales were cold and luminous, extremely formidable, and filled with an exploding tyrannical aura.
Yue Mingkong stared at the corpse of the huge dragon.
There was no trace of refining, nor were there any tricks performed on his body.
It's convincing…
But Yue Mingkong quickly became suspicious again. His corpse turned cold, yet Gu Changge had never even touched it? His meticulous eyes fell onto Gu Changge's face as he asked.
"You really don't intend to purify and devour Long Teng's corpse?"
"What are you planning?"
Gu Changge possessed the Evil Eater Art of Eternity.
Naturally, he had to worry about the lack of various physical resources.
Was he really going to be benevolent just by giving her a droplet of True Dragon Blood Long Teng?
'Gu Changge really doesn't want it? Is this the same Gu Changge I know?'
One by one questions came to Yue Mingkong's mind.
As he observed his confusion, Gu Changge couldn't help but laugh and said, "I did plan to purify and devour Long Teng as a whole, but because the Mingkong asked very well, I did plan to purify and devour Long Teng, I'll give it to you instead."
Of course, the main reason was that there were more cultivation resources waiting for him in the Black Heavenly Eagle Clan. Losing Long Teng's corpse was not a huge loss.
If Yue Mingkong wanted it so badly, he just gave it away.
Yue Mingkong fell silent once again.
Gu Changge's unexpected answer left him a little overwhelmed.
From what he knew about Gu Changge's character earlier, logically, agreeing to him – frankly – excessive requests should be impossible.
If he had any other choice, he would not be so desperate to search for cultivation resources to the point where he would even attack the Young Great from all corners of the Immeasurable Heavens.
Therefore, Origin Long Teng should be valuable to him. At the very least, most of the Young Supremes Origins were far from Long Teng's match.
A priceless origin, yet Gu Changge was willing to give it to her, without any hesitation to look at.
Yue Mingkong felt moved, and his anger towards Gu Changge just now had disappeared completely.
“Because this corpse is precious to you, then you should keep it to yourself.”
Just then, Yue Mingkong suddenly spoke in a strange and clear way outside of character.
As soon as those words came out, he himself was dumbfounded.
His mouth moved almost unconsciously.
'It's hard to subtract something from Gu Changge's ledger, so why would I just return it?'
'What a big mistake!'
Unfortunately, there is no point lamenting spilled milk.
Words spoken are like water poured.
Even if Yue Mingkong regretted it now, he would have to endure it without showing any abnormality, in order not to be laughed at by Gu Changge.
"Because I promised you it would be a gift, then it would indeed be a gift for you."
Gu Changge was a little surprised when he heard this, laughing almost uncontrollably, “Mingkong was very attentive to her husband; I was quite touched.”
At this moment, Yue Mingkong also became calm, his face recovering from his original indifference.
"You've only realized it now, but I don't think it's too late."
Yue Mingkong read the implied, feeling a hint of dissatisfaction and hatred that Gu Changge had for himself. He shook his head and did not say anything, sighing, as if he had something to say but ended up choosing not to.
Of course, he laughed out loud.
Gu Changge never thought that Yue Mingkong would suddenly say this, which was a little shocking to him.
He thought about it first and foremost, even when such good things were thrown straight into his lap.
'Love can make a person stupid.'
Gu Changge didn't even know what to say to her about the matter.
It also confirmed one of his biggest doubts in the past.
In the end, so what if the strength of Yue Mingkong surpassed hers, and what if her Buddhist Base grew strong enough to kill her? He would probably be too soft-hearted even to finish the job.
At most, like an annoyed lover, he would stomp his feet and throw his sword at the ground, turn around and leave in a hurry.
The future Heavenly Empress, an iron-blooded and indifferent woman ...
Such a woman could not take revenge on the man she was supposed to 'hate'?
That said, Gu Changge also knew that the change in Yue Mingkong's attitude was the result of the change in his behavior during this period of time, so this was not too unexpected.
In retrospect, it really makes sense.
Gu Changge did not delay any further, immediately handing Long Teng's corpse to Yue Mingkong.
After all, a great villain like him who retracted his words was only a small thing.
Yue Mingkong looked at him silently, unsure of what to say.
He seemed to have caught a little something from****** Gu Changge just now.
It seemed that Gu Changge closed his mouth at the last moment, as if something was amiss.
"I'm going."
In the end, Gu Changge did not linger, looking towards the horizon before summoning his followers and turning into a divine rainbow to cross the sky.
He left without a sound like the moment he arrived.
When he had previously fought against Long Teng, Gu Changge remembered that there was a surge of energy rushing from a certain direction to it.
Long Teng was dead, but some troublesome problems still needed to be resolved.
Although they did not dare to do anything on the surface, no Ancient Immortal Race would truly accept what happened.
Anyways... Long Teng was the heir they had developed through endless blood, sweat, and tears.
The masters were always bound to appear once their disciples died.
Long Teng was an unparalleled example of this fact.
'With the corpse of the dragon now in the hands of the Mingkong, the Ancient Immortal Race will definitely try to snatch it.'
'It's inevitable that he'll run into trouble, so let's solve the problem first.'
Gu Changge pondered lightly.
Moreover, following today's scene, Gu Changge would leave Yue Mingkong to ferment his mind and find some blessed opportunities for himself.
He's done too much.
With Yue Mingkong's ingenuity and status as a regressor, he would definitely act according to the preliminary calculations and assumptions made by Gu Changge.
In that case, Gu Changge was not worried at all.
'Ye Ling's Reincarnation Inheritance Issue together with the Ancient God Immortal Cave could both be put aside for now. With his usual allusion, he was unlikely to find the mysterious Immortal Cave in such a short amount of time, nor was it something that could be harvested so easily.
'He might have to undergo a breakthrough in his cultivation or pick up an artifact first.'
'And the Immortal Binding Technique will infiltrate the entire Black Heavenly Eagle Clan in time, so haste can ruin his plan. So the most valuable option is...'
Gu Changge brought along many followers in search of that hidden pulse.
Many cultivators near the mountain had already dispersed by now, and only a few remained, wanting to greet and lick Gu Changge's boots.
Obviously, these little fries are ignored.
... ...
Phoenix-like eyes stared towards the direction where Gu Changge disappeared from.
Yue Mingkong had a complicated expression as he sat on his white jade carriage.
He rubbed his eyebrows, exhausted.
Gu Changge's actions today made him very confused.
At that moment, Gu Changge had some fleeting emotions and clearly had something to say, which was easily captured by Yue Mingkong's eyes.
That was why he felt Gu Changge might have some hidden reason.
Whether in this past or life, he had never seen Gu Changge like this.
According to previous life knowledge of Gu Changge, this was too strange, almost seemingly quite sudden caused by unexplained circumstances.
'After all, Gu Changge's demonic nature was deeply rooted. Although he has no ill intentions towards me now, there is no guarantee that this will happen in the future.'
'To prevent the tragedy from repeating itself, I must become stronger. The current Gu Changge Cultivation Base was unexpected. If his current appearance was actually only meant to confuse me, then something terrible awaits…'
The last possibility was only Yue Mingkong's guess.
It's not possible at all.
'Why does Gu Changge confuse me...?'
'Don't think too much about unnecessary things like that.'
However, this also strengthened his resolve. After leaving the Ancient Eternal Continent, he had to investigate every opportunity before Gu Changge placed his dirty hands on them.
Yue Mingkong did not want to sit still and wait for death.
Ever since the last time he met Gu Changge at his house at the peak, he discovered that Gu Changge had changed a lot when compared to before.
The same was true for his attitude towards Gu Xianer.
Letting himself be stabbed and deliberately trying to help Gu Xian'er with his own hands .. It seemed like he was trying to make up for the damage he had done to Gu Xian'er in the past.
And today, for the first time in the world, he gave another chance to himself.
True Dragon Blood Long Teng.
Yue Mingkong had always thought that Gu Changge was a completely indifferent person and whose importance had always come first above all else.
The fact that he fell in love with such a person was his own misfortune.
Worse, such love is very deep, a very unfortunate situation.
But these few days, at Gu Changge, he saw a change. A change.
Yue Mingkong felt hope.
"Go to the Baiheng Mountains in the East."
After which, Yue Mingkong issued an order. He had to enter the mountain first and make arrangements.
Because according to the memories he had of his previous life, around the Baiheng Mountains the Fairy Spirit would be born.
