Gu Changsheng left contentedly with Yun Wuyue, but before leaving, Gu Changsheng handed a Gu family token to Murong, leaving a message.
"You can come and familiarize yourself with the environment in advance!"
Gu Youxian shook his head upon hearing this, wanting to explain, but felt that the more he explained, the greater the misunderstanding might become. He only hoped Murong wouldn't misunderstand him.
Gu Changsheng and Yun Wuyue returned to the Virtual God Realm.
Yun Wuyue finally spoke at this moment.
"Those two children don't have any special feelings for each other," Yun Wuyue said.
"Of course not, they started fighting the first time they met. It would be strange if they had any special feelings!" Gu Changsheng laughed.
"Then why are you forcibly trying to match them up?" Yun Wuyue rolled her eyes at him charmingly. There's an old saying among humans that forced melons are not sweet. She didn't believe Gu Changsheng didn't know this principle.
If the two really didn't have a foundation of affection, even if they were forced together with powerful force, it would be a kind of harm to both of them. She didn't believe Gu Changsheng didn't know this.
"A foundation of affection can be cultivated. Love at first sight is impossible," Gu Changsheng replied.
"How is it impossible? When you came to the Demon Realm, I fell in love with you at first sight. Isn't that love at first sight?" Yun Wuyue used herself as an example to refute Gu Changsheng's point of view.
Some people say that all love at first sight is based on appearance. Yun Wuyue didn't deny that she was initially attracted by Gu Changsheng's appearance, but in the process of contact between the two, she was even more impressed by Gu Changsheng's powerful strength.
The Demon Realm is all about the law of the jungle, where the strong are respected. Although under Yun Wuyue's rule, the Demon Realm is relatively stable internally and has no intention of conquering other great worlds, Yun Wuyue is, after all, a demon, and she admires the strong in her bones. In her opinion, Gu Changsheng is not only handsome but also powerful, truly her ideal choice for a partner.
She generously admitted that she had fallen in love with Gu Changsheng at first sight, so when Gu Changsheng said that love at first sight was impossible, she was unhappy.
Gu Changsheng also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly said, "Oh, I'm too special to be measured by common sense. The fact that you can see me proves that your vision is this!"
Gu Changsheng gave Yun Wuyue a thumbs up.
"Why do I feel like you're praising yourself in disguise?" Yun Wuyue said.
"Praise both, praise both!" Gu Changsheng chuckled.
"Show off!" Yun Wuyue glared at him playfully, feeling delighted inside. Who told her to have such good taste?
"So, we'll just let the two of them develop freely?" Yun Wuyue brought the topic back to Gu Youxian and Murong.
Gu Changsheng nodded and said, "I've already sacrificed my old face to this extent. If this kid doesn't seize the opportunity, I'll... slap his dad!"
Gu Sheng: ???
"Pfft, why would you slap Xiao Sheng instead of him?" Yun Wuyue couldn't help but laugh. Being Gu Changsheng's son is really too hard.
"The father is to blame for the son's misdeeds!" Gu Changsheng gave a powerful reason.
"What if Xiao Sheng does something wrong?" Yun Wuyue shook her head helplessly. She really wanted to tell Gu Sheng: Xiao Sheng, run!
"Then... I'll slap myself?" Gu Changsheng spread his hands and asked.
"That won't do, I'll feel sorry for you. Xiao Sheng's strength isn't weak either, he can take a beating!" Yun Wuyue immediately said.
A moment ago, Yun Wuyue was still feeling sorry for Gu Sheng for having such a father, but when Gu Changsheng said he would slap himself, her attitude immediately took a dramatic turn, and she even found a good reason for Gu Changsheng.
Gu Sheng's cultivation is not weak, he can take a beating...
On a certain ancient star, Gu Sheng was roasting a piece of ferocious beast meat, and just as he was about to sprinkle some cumin, he sneezed for no reason. Fortunately, he quickly turned his head, otherwise the saliva would have gotten on it.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?" Under a large tree next to him, Gu Huaiyu was comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Hearing Gu Sheng's sneeze, he opened his eyes.
"It's nothing, I just got some cumin in my nose when I was sprinkling it," Gu Sheng said.
There was a breeze in the forest, and it was indeed easy to inhale cumin when sprinkling it. Gu Sheng didn't suspect anything else. He said to Gu Huaiyu, "It'll be ready soon. Let's eat first and then cultivate. Combine work with rest!"
"Okay!" Gu Huaiyu nodded happily.
Gu Sheng's pursuit of his wife was going relatively smoothly. The two hadn't reached the crucial step yet, but at least Gu Huaiyu had gotten used to Gu Sheng being by her side. This was a great victory for Gu Sheng!
On the other side, Gu Youxian was also explaining something to Murong.
The two came to a cliff in front of a high peak. The wind blowing through the mountains made their clothes flutter.
"Fellow Daoist Murong, that... I didn't know my grandparents were here. You don't have to take my grandfather's words seriously," Gu Youxian said with an apologetic expression.
Murong, dressed in a blue dress, stood tall on the edge of the cliff, looking at the clouds rolling in the sky with a very contented expression.
She didn't seem to hear Gu Youxian's words, but said, "Look at these clouds. They seem to be carefree and free in the sky, but they can move because of the wind. Under the influence of the wind, the clouds can become any shape. They seem free, but what they become completely depends on how the wind blows."
Gu Youxian was stunned. Before he could speak, Murong continued, "Don't worry, I don't blame you. My ambition lies in the Great Dao, and I have no plans to find a partner for the time being."
After hearing this, Gu Youxian didn't know why, but he felt a sense of loss in his heart. Soon he understood why he felt lost.
A woman like Murong is rare in the world. Although he has no other ideas, as a normal person, he also hopes to be noticed by the other party, so he feels lost.
This has nothing to do with love, it's just a normal psychological activity of living beings.
"Then why did you agree?" Gu Youxian asked.
"If I didn't agree, I'm afraid I would have to get married to you today!" Murong laughed.
"My grandfather is not that kind of person," Gu Youxian frowned, his tone a little dissatisfied.
"Hey, I was just joking, why are you taking it seriously?" Murong looked at Gu Youxian's frown and quickly explained.
"This concerns my grandfather's reputation, it can't be taken lightly," Gu Youxian said.
"Actually, what your grandfather said makes sense. It's very lonely to walk the Great Dao alone. If you have a partner, you can really go far," Murong's voice was soft, as if she was telling a story.
Gu Youxian was stunned, but before he could react, Murong spoke again.
"You respect your grandfather very much," Murong smiled.
Gu Youxian nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Not only me, but all the living beings in the mortal world respect my grandfather very much."
"Oh?" Murong was really curious now. She asked, "Is your grandfather the strongest in the mortal world?"
Gu Youxian nodded generously. This was beyond doubt and there was no need to be modest.
"No wonder!" Murong thought she had guessed the reason why Gu Changsheng was respected by the living beings in the mortal world. In her opinion, Gu Changsheng's status in the mortal world was the same as Qingyan Immortal Venerable's status in the Qingyan Realm, both were worshipped by all beings because of their supreme strength.
However, she only guessed one point. Gu Changsheng's status in the mortal world was far from being measured by strength.
"I'm leaving!" Murong said to Gu Youxian.
"See you later!" Gu Youxian responded.
Murong had just taken a few steps into the air when she turned back and said to Gu Youxian, "Don't forget our bet, don't let me ride a white horse and you sit in a bridal sedan chair, hahaha..."
Accompanied by a burst of happy laughter, Murong's figure disappeared into this world, leaving Gu Youxian alone to savor Murong's last words.
After a long time, a smile appeared on his face, and he murmured, "Don't worry, it won't be like what you said."
