Chapter 0 – 65. A Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Waters Are Not as Good as You
Their lips parted, Qin Gou and Gu Feiyan looked at the Residual Soul of Forget Self, who had completely transformed, with surprise.
“Take it next.”
A jade slip, enveloped in soft light, was tossed carelessly into Gu Feiyan’s arms. The Residual Soul of Forget Self, with the demeanor of a dandy, let out a long laugh. “This is the Daobreak Art, condensed from my life’s work. It is the true inheritance within this secret realm. It is yours now. I will not force you to carry my name as a disciple as you venture into the world, for I no longer care for such things.”
Two more Nas rings flew out.
“This Nas ring contains the originals of various cultivation techniques that I have collected over the years. The other one holds some rare spirit medicines. Due to the passage of time, many medicinal pills have lost their potency, and only truly rare treasures remain.”
“Thank you, senior, master!” Gu Feiyan bowed respectfully, without omission.
The Residual Soul of Forget Self nodded with a smile, then looked at Qin Gou and said, “I know you, young man, are quite peculiar. Perhaps you might not even fancy my cultivation technique inheritance. However, this item is sure to pique your interest.”
As he spoke, another shining jade slip landed in Qin Gou’s hand.
“This jade slip records the essence of the Mechanical Puppet art that I diligently studied. From this moment on, this notebook and that Stone Spirit are all yours.”
A sharp glint flashed in Qin Gou’s eyes as he cupped his fists and said, “Purple Ridge Arc-Moon thanks you, fellow cultivator.”
“Oh?” The Residual Soul of Forget Self was slightly moved, and suddenly realized, “No wonder you were always so confident, and could stir up so much trouble in my secret realm, almost causing a great disaster. So you are one of the successors of that mysterious being. It makes sense. With such similar names, I should have thought of it earlier. It has always been a regret of mine that I never had the chance to meet him properly. Little Friend Qin, please convey my regards to him.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Gou could only give a dry laugh and nod, unsure how to respond.
Suddenly, the Semi-transparent body of the Residual Soul of Forget Self became even more faint. “Two young friends, I will send you away now. If you ever wish to return to this Blessed Land, where the flow of time can be distorted, simply wear those two special Nas rings and revisit Wang Ji Village.”
“Senior Forget Self, you…” Gu Feiyan sensed the abnormality of the Residual Soul of Forget Self. But before she could finish her sentence, she felt the world spin and fell into a state of weightlessness. In an instant, she and Qin Gou reappeared in the deserted small village. Everything felt like a phantom dream.
The Residual Soul of Forget Self appeared in a small room within the secret realm.
Inside the room stood a wooden carving, as tall as a person, depicting a woman with Celestial grace and moonlike charm. She held a wine gourd in her hands, smiling innocently and charmingly.
The Residual Soul of Forget Self sat cross-legged beside the wooden carving, a happy smile on his lips. “In the next life, you will be the most captivating girl in this world, and I will be the first foolish boy to fall at your feet…”
The next moment, the Semi-transparent True Man Wangji completely dispersed, his soul returning to the heavens.
The entire secret realm plunged into endless darkness. In the world, there was no longer a devoted lover nor a wine-loving dancer.
…
“Is this true?!”
Gu Jinghong shattered the armrest of his throne with a single palm, his eyes bloodshot and his anger surging. “That evil spawn, Gu Xunhe! I strictly forbade you three from fighting each other privately, and even arranged for you to depart from different routes. Yet he still wants to inflict a fatal blow on your third sister? Our family is unfortunate!”
Gu Yinjiu knelt on the ground, his face filled with grief. “These are words spoken by Big Brother himself. Filial son that I am, I had planned to conceal them from Father. But now that Third Sister is headless and dismembered, I can no longer bear to keep these words bottled up.”
“Disobeying paternal orders and harming his siblings, if the Sacred Cult falls into his hands, it will be destroyed along with the foundation built by our ancestors for years! Guards, go and apprehend Gu Xunhe immediately!”
As the saying goes, a daughter is a father’s lover from a previous life. Gu Jinghong’s endless grief of many days transformed into a monstrous rage at this moment, intending to incinerate the vast expanse of the starry sky.
Meanwhile, Gu Yinjiu wept, “My heart aches so much! I truly wish I could see Third Sister one more time!”
Within Gu Xunhe’s exclusive cave, there was music and dancing. Several alluring young girls gracefully swayed their bodies, displaying their most seductive dances.
“B-Big Young Master, this is really not possible! Please spare your subordinate.” Chen Dayi’s face turned ashen as he pleaded repeatedly.
Gu Xunhe gritted his teeth. “Dream on! Chen Dayi, today I absolutely must let you experience the wonders of women! See? So many beautiful and tender little beauties. I’ll give you three, and I’ll only take two. Today, we shall be open with each other, and combine our strengths. This is a marvelous affair that others can only dream of!”
Chen Dayi wanted to cry but had no tears. “Big Young Master, I truly cannot do it! I have no interest in these ordinary women!”
“What?”
Gu Xunhe was stunned. “In your eyes, they are merely ordinary women? Then was I raised in a pile of common women since childhood? Then tell me, what kind of beauty would capture your heart? You are my savior, and I must repay you well.”
Chen Dayi’s face flushed at once, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “In my eyes, even Gu Fengshan and Qionglu Pool within the Sacred Cult, all of them combined, are not as attractive as Big Young Master!”
“Go to hell!” Gu Xunhe punched Chen Dayi directly on the nose. His fists rained down on him, causing him to scream. “I’ll make you insult me, and covet my pure and flawless body! I’ll beat you to death, you ungrateful bastard!”
“Ahhh, Big Young Master, I was wrong! Big Young Master, please calm your anger and spare me! I promise I won’t talk too much again… Ah, it hurts so much, yet feels so good!” Chen Dayi rolled on the ground.
Gu Xunhe suddenly stopped his attack, his eyes wide with disbelief. “What did you just say?”
“Big Young Master, please spare me.”
“Not that sentence.”
“Feels so good!”
“Presumptuous!”
Gu Xunhe’s nose was almost crooked with anger. He roared, “Get out of my sight immediately! Never appear before me again!”
“I cannot!”
Chen Dayi shouted directly, “Unless Big Young Master kills me right now, I will never leave Big Young Master’s command.”
“Do you really think I won’t dare?”
“I don’t think Big Young Master dares, but I am not afraid! To die at the hands of my beloved, I would be honored!” Chen Dayi’s gaze was fervent, piercing Gu Xunhe’s eyes and causing him to recoil continuously. Finally, his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground.
Suddenly.
Gu Xunhe frantically grabbed his hair with both hands, crying and roaring, “I should have been killed by the Stone Spirit’s slap back then!”
