Chapter 0.20 Divination
“Axi, can you see this Spiritual Power Transmission?”
“Ding! This matter must be strange. Otherwise, if this system hasn’t gone crazy, then this Miss Gong Wumeng must have gone crazy.”
“What?”
“Host, please examine this transmission again. Does it indicate whether Gong Wumeng’s current choice is a pure-blooded Eternal Night Marquis?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Gou carefully reread the Spiritual Power Transmission. Indeed, not a single word mentioned the other party’s bloodline.
“Could it be… Gong Wumeng has her sights set on someone who isn’t pure-blooded? Just like her parents in this life, both of whom are sea race members with only a trace of Eternal Night Marquis blood. Fellow Daoist Gong’s obsession…”
“It’s time for you to drink that Eternal Night Marquis bloodline inheritance fluid!”
The system’s tone became more and more rapid.
“Ding. New mission released: ‘Resolve Obsession.’ Host must personally pacify Gong Wumeng’s desperate and misguided thoughts. Otherwise, when the Nine Saint Monarch revives and learns of this unexpected blow, the consequences will be unimaginable! Ten-day time limit, reward: 30,000 Merit points, the Profound Technique ‘Sacred Dragon Manual’ advances to the ninth level. This mission is special; although there’s no mandatory punishment, the Host naturally understands that failure will have dire consequences! Did the Nine Saint Monarch truly not foresee this? Or is it…”
Qin Gou asked, puzzled, “System, what do you mean by that last sentence?”
“Ding. The Host just mentioned Gong Wumeng’s obsession, but this is actually the Nine Saint Monarch’s deep-seated obsession. Subjectively, she would never allow her Little Saint Monarch to be inexplicably bound to another without her knowledge. The key is that all the Little Saint Monarchs are her emotional clones, and the Nine Saint Monarch’s own desire to have a blood relative may be concentrated on this Fellow Daoist Gong! Thus, this matter is obviously entwined with the Host himself.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Gou couldn’t help but sigh and let out a wry smile, “So, in plain terms, it’s because I… wasn’t capable back then?”
“Ding… This system does not mean to criticize the Host like that. Besides, in reality, no one in the entire world was capable back then.”
“But now, I am.”
As he spoke, Qin Gou finally took out the Eternal Night Marquis bloodline inheritance fluid from his Nas, and drank it down in one gulp.
“Ding!”
“My Master… the Nine Saint Monarch has already suffered enough. Now that I can also transform my bloodline to that of the Eternal Night Marquis, I can probably give Gong Wumeng some hope, so she won’t be so anxious and act on her own… Damn it, thinking too much now is useless. I should set off first!”
Immediately after, Qin Gou clearly saw the location indicated in the transmission and gathered everyone on the Spirit Boat, explaining the change in plans.
According to the original plan, he would have gone to the Abyss with Jia Ren. But now, Jia Ren needed to go ahead. If she could help observe the patterns of each Abyssal Demon Lord entering the Divine Bridge Sanctuary during this time, it would be for the best.
Ren Ci, who had already been considering how to repay Qin Gou, readily agreed.
As for the group heading to Gucheng Mountain, apart from Gu Feiyan and A’, it included Qingyu, Qiu Qianyue, and the Little Chair. This way, not only could they ensure the safety of the group, but they could also maintain contact between the two sides at all times through Yi Chengying’s Shadow Cat abilities.
After quickly explaining everything, Qin Gou, Little White Dragon, Li Xiaogou, and the two little Cloud Tigers, Red Qingqing and Pink Qingqing, immediately set their direction, summoned another Spirit Boat, and set off for the Sea Race territory.
…
At the same time, on a secluded island far from the mortal world.
“Aunt, my token is trembling, which means the message has arrived. But Wumeng feels more and more that this idea is rather unreliable… If Fellow Daoist Qin really comes, who am I supposed to get married to out of thin air?”
Gong Wumeng looked somewhat annoyed at the graceful and alluring beautiful woman before her. Judging from Gong Wumeng’s address, they were related, but due to Gong Wumeng being a Little Saint Monarch, there was no resemblance in their appearance.
The graceful woman chuckled, “Silly girl, you are my niece. Would I harm you? Haven’t you understood yet? Girl, you don’t need to truly marry anyone. This is just to obtain the whereabouts of another pure-blooded Eternal Night Marquis… And if you really need a cultivator with some Eternal Night Marquis blood to play along, I’m here, aren’t I? Don’t forget my signature shape-shifting skills!”
“But doesn’t this mean that Fellow Daoist Qin now definitely knows the whereabouts of pure-blooded individuals other than me? Then why can’t I directly pay a price and ask Fellow Daoist Qin to tell me? Why use this deceptive method? Aunt, you don’t know, the first time we met, when Fellow Daoist Qin and I were enemies, Wumeng tried to trick him, but in less than ten seconds, he saw through it all,” Gong Wumeng recalled with a wry smile.
The graceful woman was full of confidence, “Because the divination results are like this, we can only do this. And according to my close friend, as long as we act according to the divination results and let things take their course, your wish will surely be fulfilled. If you act impulsively, unexpected things might happen!”
“What if, even if the goal is achieved and the information is obtained, Fellow Daoist Qin gets angered by it?” Gong Wumeng was still very uneasy.
The graceful woman’s gaze shifted away somewhat sheepishly, and she spread her hands, “I’ll accept the scolding and the beating. Whose fault is it if we were in the wrong first? Don’t worry, Aunt will accompany you.”
“This is even more unreliable!”
Gong Wumeng wanted to cry but had no tears, “Aunt, is the divination of your friend truly reliable?”
The graceful woman immediately explained, “It’s not my friend’s divination; she also asked someone else for help. But I have personally experienced the mystery of this divination technique. Otherwise, why would I be so certain now?”
Seeing this, due to her trust in the woman before her, Gong Wumeng nodded slightly, “But Aunt, for this divination, did you reveal too much about me? I’m worried…”
“You don’t need to worry about that either. Didn’t I say before that my friend is very considerate and kind and didn’t inquire too much? And the person who performed the divination also has a special talent. Every time they divine for others, the results appear in text form on their true body for a short time, and they themselves do not know the divination results in too much detail.”
“Is it really that mystical?”
“I saw it with my own eyes,” the graceful woman guaranteed.
Gong Wumeng’s mood gradually calmed down, “Then, who exactly is that Fellow Daoist?”
“My acquaintance is also a Human Race. You might have heard of her influence during your travels, Wumeng… Taiping Tower Master Mu Tangchun, and the one who actually performed the divination is her sworn mother, whom I remember vividly. Her name is ‘Duoyu’!”
