Chapter 163: The Charming and Vicious Villain Master
In the boundless starry sky, Gu Qing's legs were shaking, and he was gasping for breath, dripping with sweat. His face was pale, looking as if he had been squeezed dry.
"Was it comfortable?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile, her complexion ruddy.
"Comfortable."
"Then do you want more?"
"No, no." Gu Qing waved his hands repeatedly.
The saying that a woman three thousand years older ensures a place in the immortal class was indeed true. Jiang Yu possessed immeasurable divine abilities, and he was simply not her match.
Although fighting with Jiang Yu yielded many gains, which was a fortuitous opportunity others could not beg for even if they wanted to, Gu Qing indeed wanted it. If only Jiang Yu could be a bit gentler.
"Do you still dare to laugh at me? Hmph." Jiang Yu snorted coldly, her red lips curling up slightly, her mood extremely pleasant.
"...Palace Master, you are not gentle at all." Gu Qing complained feebly, his eyes full of accusations against Jiang Yu's violence.
Who asked you to always provoke me to anger... Jiang Yu smiled, her eyes rippling like water, tender and soft. She grabbed Gu Qing's arm and crossed the boundless starry sky. In the span of a few breaths, they returned to the Star Divine Palace.
Gu Qing found a secluded cultivation cave abode and invited his adoptive father out of the small black room.
"Draw a prize for me."
[Congratulations Host for obtaining a Connate Spirit Treasure, the Metal Spirit Bead, and the Divine Artifact Sun God Furnace!]
"Not bad." Another Connate Spirit Treasure was in hand.
As for the Sun God Furnace, Gu Qing looked down on it slightly and did not plan to use it himself. The Sun God Furnace of the Star Divine Palace had been lost for many years; it was perfect to hand over to continue the inheritance.
Gu Qing could cultivate so peacefully, obtain countless resources, and receive the protection of the ancestors all because the predecessors left enough blessings. If possible, Gu Qing naturally also wanted to leave something for future generations, allowing the Star Divine Palace to exist forever and never decline.
Gu Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Is this also a Low Grade Connate Spirit Treasure?"
[Correct!]
"Then if I gather the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Spirit Beads, can I fuse them into a powerful Connate Spirit Treasure?"
[The combination of the Five Spirit Beads is a High Grade Connate Spirit Treasure.]
Gu Qing let out an "oh" and said thoughtfully, "Do you think it is better for me to give them to the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda to fuse, or is it better to have an extra Five Spirit Beads?"
[Your cultivation base is currently too low. It is suggested that you temporarily do not fuse them into the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda because even if fused, the current you cannot use it, and the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda is sufficient for your use.]
"True!" Hearing the system's explanation, Gu Qing nodded in agreement.
It was better to wait until the Primordial Ruyi Pagoda completely fused with the Mysterious Yellow Bead before considering other things. "Bring up my data panel."
[Name] Gu Qing.

Gu Qing looked for a while and muttered, "Two million two hundred thousand luck, that is so high, but why does it feel like it is useless?"
[How can it be useless? Host, try going out to search for treasures. Do not blame treasures for not falling from the sky when you do not go looking for them yourself.]
[In addition, luck can also assist the Host in cultivation. It is just silent and subtle, so the Host has not noticed it.]
[If the Host does not want luck, you can give it to the Disaster Black Dragon to devour.]
Gu Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately used two hundred thousand luck to test the waters.
The Disaster Black Dragon imprinted on Gu Qing's back instantly came to life, broke away from his body, and hovered above Gu Qing's head.
Opening its mouth to inhale, invisible luck flowed into the Disaster Black Dragon's mouth.
Gu Qing grunted, feeling as if something had been stripped from his body.
After the Disaster Black Dragon devoured two hundred thousand luck, its injuries immediately healed by more than half.
This made Gu Qing ecstatic.
"Continue devouring."
The stronger the Disaster Black Dragon was, the greater the help it would be to him.
Unparalleled defense could help him undergo tribulation.
Treacherous and unpredictable curses, and pollution that could not be looked at directly, could kill people invisibly; it could be called an unsolvable existence.
"Stop!"
The Disaster Black Dragon devoured another one million luck; its injuries had completely recovered, and the Disaster Black Dragon had also advanced to the peak of the Divine Fire Realm.
"I estimate that with just one look, it can erode and pollute a Divine Fire Realm cultivator," Gu Qing thought with great joy.
"I wonder if it can curse the protagonist to death. Probably not..."
As everyone knows, the protagonist is a cockroach that cannot be beaten to death.
The heavier the injuries, the more they bounce back from desperate situations, obtain great opportunities, and while recovering from injuries, achieve a major breakthrough in cultivation and kill the enemy in a reversal.
So for the sake of safety, try to kill with one strike.
Especially when facing a Child of Destiny like Lin Xuan who possesses a system, one absolutely cannot be careless.
If he fails to kill him and lets him escape the Star Divine Palace, it will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing walked out of the cave abode, preparing to take Lin Chuqing for a tour of the Star Divine Palace.
But after searching around, he could not find anyone. Gu Qing took out the communication jade to take a look, and his heart sank.
He walked quickly towards Divine Maiden Peak.
In the main hall, Luo Rou was like a punching bag, hiding behind Lin Chuqing and shivering, but her mouth was indeed unforgiving.
"Zhi Meng, you poisonous woman, you are truly shameless. You actually used Gu Qing to trick me into coming out."
"You are frenzied and mad; you are not fit to be human, and even less fit to be a disciple of my Zhuang Family..."
Zhi Meng wore a smile, quietly listening to Luo Rou's insults. Not only was she not angry, but her face also carried a hint of pleasure.
However, when she heard "Zhuang Family," her eyes instantly turned gloomy.
Although she did not reveal any aura, the terrifying oppression made Luo Rou feel suffocated, and her face turned pale.
"My stupid smelly sister, do you think I care about the Zhuang Family?"
Zhi Meng sneered. With a wave of her hand, an invisible force rolled Luo Rou to the front of her, and she grabbed her round and exquisite chin.
"So what if you are the direct line of the Zhuang Family? Don't you still not dare to use your own surname?"
"I didn't! Isn't it because you forced me? Why are you so vicious?"
Tears welled up in Luo Rou's clear eyes. Her beautiful face was full of grievance, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.
She could not understand; if Zhi Meng did not use the Zhuang surname, why did she not let her use it either?
"Does the Zhuang surname make you very proud?" Zhi Meng's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, making Luo Rou shudder involuntarily, her face bloodless.
But she still cursed toughly, "Of course, I am of the direct line. Unlike you, a concubine-born daughter born of a servant girl."
"So what if I am a concubine-born daughter?"
"That fiancé you constantly thought of still abandoned you, the direct daughter. He would rather give up the status of family heir to marry me as his wife."
Zhi Meng exerted slight force with her hand and said fiercely.
"Wah..."
Luo Rou cried, tears falling patter-patter.
She truly regretted it.
If she had known Zhi Meng was this bad, she should not have helped her when Zhi Meng was beaten and scolded by servants back then; she should have let her be beaten to death.
When locked in the woodshed, she should not have released her; she should have let her die inside.
When punished with no food allowed, she should not have brought food for her to eat; she should have let her starve to death.
She should not have brought Zhi Meng, this bad seed, to her own room, letting her freeze to death in the cold winter.
Regret.
Luo Rou regretted her meddling every moment.
If not for her meddling, the Zhuang Family and Lin Family would not have been destroyed by Zhi Meng.
If Zhi Meng had died, perhaps Lin Xuan would not have broken off the engagement with her.
She also would not have been bullied by Zhi Meng for thousands of years.
"Heh, still love crying so much."
A trace of heartache flashed across Zhi Meng's eyes. She expressionlessly threw her to Lin Chuqing.
Luo Rou threw herself into Lin Chuqing's arms and continued to cry; her tears simply could not stop.
Lin Chuqing patted her back and comforted her softly.
Gu Qing: ...
Gu Qing watched with his eyelids twitching.
"Willing to come back?" Zhi Meng smiled radiantly, yet there was not a trace of a smile in her eyes.
"..."
Terrible, Zhi Meng had not coaxed herself well.
The charming and vicious villain master wouldn't have killing intent in her eyes and want to pinch his chin too, right?
