The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Chapter 305 Xi Ling, who eagerly offers warmth

"Ugh……"

The Immortal King He Guang was dressed in a blue scholar's robe and a scholar's cap, with a folding fan in his hand that he opened and closed.

He paced back and forth in the main hall, his handsome and refined face now contorted with worry.

Gu Qing thought he had tamed Xiao Kugua, but it turned out to be wishful thinking on his part.

Little Bitter Gourd is still the same Little Bitter Gourd, single-mindedly pursuing the Tao.

For the past two years, I haven't contacted Gu Qing at all.

"Master, how about we issue a bounty to find Young Master Gu?"

Honglan whispered.

The Heaven Refining Array and the Heaven Deceiving Array have been set up.

They were extremely worried because they only needed the offerings to be placed into the 360 ​​array bases before Xi Ling would activate the Heaven Refining Array.

"This boy is mysterious; even I can't find him, so how could you possibly find him?"

Gu Qing returned to Bihai Ancient City, and soon after left, disappearing without a trace.

Even with all his supernatural powers, he couldn't find it. In this situation, either Gu Qing possesses a treasure that isolates him from the secrets of heaven, or he is with the Immortal King, or he has entered a secret realm or grotto-heaven that isolates him from the secrets of heaven.

“Master, if we can’t find him, why don’t we force him out?” Shuying said.

"Oh, how do you say this?"

King He Guang became interested.

"What good would it do to find him?"

"You can't stop me."

Xi Ling seemed to come against the light, her silver hair flowing, her ethereal beauty like a goddess descended from the divine realm.

"Nannan, do you really have to do this?" King Heguang knew that Xiling possessed the Heaven-Deceiving Array.

They also knew that Xi Ling wanted to use Ran Yuzhu to bear the consequences.

He also knew that Xi Ling's Heaven-Deceiving Array had both succeeded and failed.

It failed last time.

However, since he was refining something from the lower realm, the world-destroying heavenly lightning wasn't too terrifying, so he could still make a profit.

This time, the celestial realm is being refined, and the world-destroying heavenly lightning that descends is absolutely terrifying, truly a heavenly tribulation.

If the transfer of cause and effect fails, Xi Ling's soul and true spirit will be locked until her soul is completely destroyed.

The only way to survive is to tough it out.

However, the heavenly tribulation that descended was no less powerful than the lightning tribulation of a Celestial King.

Even with a Celestial King's artifact, Xi Ling couldn't withstand it; only a Celestial King could resist it.

If he were to make a move, the Heavenly Dao would unleash an even more terrifying tribulation, reducing them all to ashes.

"Father, don't worry about me anymore, you should go."

A pleading look appeared in Xi Ling's beautiful, lustrous eyes, and her voice softened involuntarily.

King Heguang, who wanted to persuade him further, suddenly felt as if he had been choked when he saw the pleading look in Little Bitter Gourd's eyes.

With tears in her eyes, she flicked her sleeve and said, "Okay, my dear, you will always be my good daughter."

After saying that, a spatial portal appeared before him, and he stepped inside.

"Good heavens, is the Light Immortal King really this sentimental?"

"Are these two really father and daughter?"

"It doesn't look like it."

Hidden in the void, Gu Qing's eyes gleamed with mysterious light as he took in the changes in the expressions of the father and daughter, deeply shocked by their presence.

How could a villain as ruthless and heartless as Xi Ling have such a sentimental father as the Immortal King of Light?

"call!"

Finally, her father was gone... Xi Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss."

The four women, Honglan and Xiling, had tears in their beautiful eyes, their pleading expressions overflowing with hope. Suddenly, Xiling softened and gave up refining the Xuan Tian Domain.

They raised Xi Ling from childhood to adulthood, spanning nine lifetimes, so the bond between them was undeniable.

"hey-hey."

Xi Ling gave a wicked smile: "Any of you have your eye on someone? While there's still time, I can still sell you for a good price."

"Miss."

The four beautiful women wiped away their tears and showed a reproachful expression.

That young lady is really something, making jokes like that at a time like this.

"No way, you guys actually thought I was joking?"

Xi Ling's smile turned even more sinister as she said, enunciating each word clearly, "I really intend to sell you all, and I've already found a buyer."

"..."

The four looked at each other, then shook their heads, still not believing it.

The young lady is about to undergo her tribulation, why sell them?

What good is it if the other party offers an exorbitant price?

Even if you gave me a Celestial King artifact, it wouldn't be of any use.

Those below the Immortal King level cannot unleash the power of an Immortal King artifact, let alone Xi Ling, who already possesses one.

They didn't think they were worthy of being a Celestial King's artifact.

"Heh, you just wait."

Xi Ling took out the communication jade and sent a message. She immediately felt a pang of heartache, as if she were being pricked by tiny needles. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a look of reluctance.

She certainly wasn't going to sell the four of them; she was just trying to find them a good home.

"..."

Gu Qing, who received the message and overheard the entire conversation between the five people, looked astonished.

No way, right?

Is Xi Ling going to sell him?

Why does it feel like I'm dreaming and haven't woken up yet?

He and Xi Ling are practically enemies, and Xi Ling is probably already plotting how to deal with him.

The four beautiful women were all stunningly beautiful and at the peak of the Profound God Realm. No matter where in the Immortal Realm they were, each of them would be a powerful and independent ancestor.

Why would Xi Ling give such a huge benefit to someone she has a grudge against?

Could it be that Xi Ling has gone mad?

"Maybe I'm overthinking it," Gu Qing muttered to himself, then waited a while before stepping out of the void.

He wanted to see what Xi Ling was really up to.

A sliver of hope flickered in my heart; if Xi Ling really did it, I'd be rich.

"You've been in the Xuan Tian Domain all this time?"

Seeing that Gu Qing had arrived so quickly, Xi Ling's eyes narrowed, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.

They suspected that Gu Qing had seen through their plan to set up the Heaven Refining Array, which was why he had stayed until now.

"Yes, my daughter was just born, so I don't want to travel far for the time being."

Gu Qing offered an explanation to avoid Xi Ling suspecting him of having ulterior motives.

He's just a stay-at-home dad now, what bad intentions could he possibly have?

"daughter?"

"Young Master Gu has a daughter?"

"Could it be that the notorious poacher who has been making headlines for the past two years is none other than Young Master Gu?"

The four beautiful women gasped in surprise, deeply shocked by Gu Qing's words.

In their minds, Gu Qing should be an unparalleled genius who is single-mindedly focused on cultivating the Dao and striving to reach the pinnacle.

How did you suddenly become such a crazy stay-at-home dad?

They couldn't accept it right away.

Xi Ling was also deeply shocked.

She also felt that it was really against her image for someone as ruthless and powerful as Gu Qing to do something like being a stay-at-home dad.

However, I felt a sense of relief.

As long as Gu Qing didn't see through her Heaven-Refining Array, that's fine.

"What poaching demon?" Gu Qing's eyelids twitched, speechless.

He just hunted a few more monsters and mythical beasts, didn't he?

"We apologize, Young Master Gu, we misspoke."

The four beautiful women bowed and looked at Gu Qing with shining eyes, admiring his incomparably handsome face.

Radiant and full of youthful vigor.

With a noble and transcendent temperament, every move he made seemed to be able to influence the course of heaven and earth, like a god-king who rules the universe.

The four women were increasingly captivated by the sight, their beautiful eyes glazed over, and their legs felt weak.

Gu Qing suddenly appeared. Could the buyer that the young lady mentioned be Gu Qing?

Thinking of this, the four beautiful women suddenly felt their hearts race, thinking to themselves, "Young Master Gu is so young! Young people are so wonderful, if only... if only..."

"You four seniors are too kind to me."

Gu Qing avoided it.

Although he is very strong and has a bright future, he is not even a Xuan God yet, so it feels strange to receive the respect of four peak Xuan Gods.

"Okay, everyone sit down."

Xi Ling suddenly spoke up, and seeing the four of them looking at each other with infatuated expressions, she felt a pang of sadness.

If she hadn't been forced to, she really wouldn't have wanted to give the four of them to Gu Qing.

Suppressing her reluctance, Xi Ling said calmly, "Gu Qing, let's make a deal."

"What kind of deal?" Gu Qing asked calmly.

"I have cultivated a heaven-defying technique, which is extremely dangerous. If I perish, you will marry them."

"If I succeed, you will return them to me. In return, I will give you ten drops of Time Essence." Xi Ling was still reluctant to part with them. She didn't want them to get married until the very last step.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "By the way, you should treat them as your protectors, and only secondarily as your wives."

She knew that Gu Qing must have many women, so letting Gu Qing get married wasn't the best thing to do. Becoming his protectors would be the most beneficial thing for the four of them.

"Is there anything wrong with your mind?"

"what do you think?"

Hearing this, Gu Qing felt contempt. What kind of heaven-defying technique was this? Wasn't it just that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to survive the heavens?

However, the benefit for him was that he wouldn't expose Xi Ling.

But I still can't help but wonder if there's something wrong with Xi Ling's mind.

Has he gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?

No, it doesn't look like it.

Could it be that Xi Ling wants these four people to investigate the secrets on his body?

That's unlikely, because doing so would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever.

It is common knowledge that no monk would reveal his secrets to outsiders.

So, was Xi Ling really trying to bring him warmth?

"What nonsense are you spouting, you bastard?"

Xi Ling rolled her eyes, annoyed, and cursed, "If it weren't for your looks and decent talent, I wouldn't have given them to you."

She made this decision after careful consideration.

The Heaven-Deceiving Array is extremely mysterious, especially the part about cause and effect. She has studied it for nine lifetimes and has only been able to comprehend some of its basics.

She had no confidence at all and shifted all the blame onto Ran Yuzhu.

After all, she was the one who set up the Heaven Refining Array, and she was also in it, devouring the essence of the Heavenly Dao.

If Ran Yuzhu dies, or if the Heaven-Deceiving Array is destroyed by the World-Destroying Heavenly Lightning, then she is finished.

So I wanted to find them a good home.

Actually, she had no such plan at first and never even thought about it.

But then Xi Ling remembered that the Immortal King of Light had arranged for her to get engaged to Gu Qing, and that he had been thinking about her safety all along.

The four women also longed to get married, start a family, and have offspring.

If she fails this time and her soul perishes, will the four of them just marry anyone?

What if I marry the wrong person and don't have a good life?

Moreover, they definitely can't marry a Celestial King; at most, they'll just settle for a Mystic God.

This is absolutely not okay.

Xi Ling could not accept that they had lived mediocre and unproductive lives.

After much thought, Gu Qing is the most suitable candidate.

Although she had a grudge against Gu Qing, and even wished she could tear him to pieces.

But for them, this hatred is nothing.

Thinking about it, Xi Ling glanced at Gu Qing with her beautiful eyes and thought to herself, "Although this bastard is hateful, he is really good-looking. He is young and strong, with a talent that is unique in all ages. It seems that Aunt Hong and the others like this type the most."

Of course, appearance is secondary.

The main point is that Gu Qing is definitely capable of becoming a God King; there is no doubt about that.

Even as a nine-time reincarnator, she couldn't defeat Gu Qing, nor could she even budge him in the slightest.

This is simply a freak.

Xi Ling suspected that Gu Qing was disguised as a human, but was actually a god born of nature.

A god born to control the Great Dao.

Only in this way can we explain why Gu Qing achieved such success in just a few hundred years, because it is something that beings born later in life simply cannot do.

If Aunt Hong and the others were to marry Gu Qing, they could gain endless benefits from dual cultivation.

If offspring are born, they will be divine offspring, and perhaps upon reaching adulthood, they will reach the Profound God Realm.

Just like Gu Qing's daughter.

Although she had never seen it, having eaten so many demonic beasts, its talent must be incredibly powerful.

He might reach the level of a God-King as soon as he comes of age.

With powerful offspring, coupled with their protective instincts and countless years of companionship, Gu Qing would definitely treat them well.

Gu Qing didn't suffer any losses; in fact, he won excessively.

Gaining four beautiful women at the peak of the Profound God realm for free would be an immense help to Gu Qing.

In addition, there are the resources she provides, and her parents will definitely help Gu Qing as well.

In this marriage, it can be said that both sides have won big.

It seems like she's the only one who suffered a huge loss.

Thinking about it, Xi Ling felt conflicted.

Of all the things she suffered through her nine reincarnations, the biggest loss was meeting Gu Qing.

They rushed to offer warmth and support to Gu Qing.

What's even more frustrating is that even if she succeeds, her father will probably still arrange a marriage between her and Gu Qing. In that case, they will just be dowry maids and still won't be able to escape Gu Qing's clutches.

Then the ten drops of Time Essence she promised before were essentially given away for free.

Thinking of this, Xi Ling's face twisted slightly.

"Meeting this bastard is simply the greatest calamity of my nine lifetimes."
