On an ancient star, within a picturesque valley, stood an elegant courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by a vibrant array of flowers, transforming the valley into a sea of blossoms.
"Senior Brother, why is your complexion so poor?" Gu Huaiyu asked with concern as she saw Gu Sheng return with a pale face.
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a few injuries sustained during the battle. It's not a big deal!"
"Nonsense, if it wasn't a big deal, you wouldn't be so pale!" Gu Huaiyu rolled her eyes at him, then took out a bottle of pills from her storage ring. Just as she was about to pour out the pills, she froze!
"What's wrong?" Gu Sheng asked.
Gu Huaiyu said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother, your cultivation is so strong, this Nine Revolutions Life-Extending Pill probably won't be of any use to you, right?"
She subconsciously thought of using the Nine Revolutions Life-Extending Pill to heal Gu Sheng, but immediately realized that with Gu Sheng's current cultivation, the Nine Revolutions Life-Extending Pill, which was regarded as a life-saving elixir by others, was probably not even as good as a candied hawthorn for Senior Brother. At least the candied hawthorn was sweet!
"Senior Brother, wait a moment, I'll call Master over to heal you!" Gu Huaiyu said anxiously, and then she was about to call out her master's name to summon him, but Gu Sheng stopped her!
"No need to trouble Father!" Gu Sheng said.
"But you..."
Gu Huaiyu looked at Gu Sheng's pale and bloodless face. Even though her cultivation had only recently entered the Saint King realm, she knew that Gu Sheng had suffered a very serious injury.
What level of severity must an injury be to render a Celestial Venerable expert's face bloodless? Perhaps only a world-destroying attack could leave a mark on Senior Brother!
When Gu Sheng left earlier, he only told her that he was going to deal with a small fry, but now he returned with serious injuries. This immediately made Gu Huaiyu's heart ache.
She was no longer the naive girl who didn't even know what a "third leg" was. She could feel Senior Brother's feelings for her, and she genuinely liked him from the bottom of her heart.
Every time she played with Senior Brother, she felt as if she had known him in her previous life.
"Senior Brother, you lied to me!" Gu Huaiyu said with tears in her eyes, looking at Gu Sheng's pale face.
Seeing that Gu Huaiyu was about to cry, Gu Sheng quickly said, "Girl, how did I lie to you?"
"You clearly told me that you were going to deal with a small fry, but your injuries are so serious. How could the opponent be a small fry? Also, Master is here, why are you acting strong?"
Gu Huaiyu pouted, not knowing whether she was angry because Gu Sheng was injured, or because Gu Sheng lied to her about the opponent being a small fry, or perhaps there was some other reason.
"Cough cough..."
In the Void God Realm, Gu Changsheng almost choked on his wine. Yun Wuyue and Houtu also quickly put down their wine glasses when they saw this.
"What's wrong? Is the wine not good? I'll teach Emperor Lan a lesson later!" Houtu said.
"I told you that this wine is not as good as my Demon Spirit Wine, right? You didn't believe me, and now you choked, didn't you?" Yun Wuyue also chided.
Gu Changsheng calmed down and said, "It's not the wine's fault. Of course, this wine is definitely not as good as Demon Spirit Wine. In my mind, Demon Spirit Wine is always the best."
Houtu's expression softened slightly when she heard that it wasn't the wine's fault, and the idea of teaching Emperor Lan a lesson disappeared.
And Yun Wuyue snorted proudly when she heard Gu Changsheng say that Demon Spirit Wine was the best in his heart, and said, "Of course, that's our Nightmare Demon Clan's exclusive recipe!"
"Then why did you choke?" Houtu asked.
Gu Changsheng sighed and said, "Girls are always drawn away... or maybe that's not right, that's my son, it's not good to say that."
After hearing this, the two women exchanged glances and knew what was going on. Wasn't it just the matter between Gu Sheng and Gu Huaiyu?
For Gu Changsheng, Gu Sheng and Gu Huaiyu were like the back of his hand and the palm of his hand. What was there to sigh about?
They didn't understand and rolled their eyes at him. Yun Wuyue said, "You almost harmed Emperor Lan. If Sister Houtu really taught him a lesson, it would be your fault."
"If my wife can teach him a lesson, it's also a pointer to him. He'll be happy!" Gu Changsheng also became arrogant.
Houtu was immediately happy and smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into crescents when she heard the word "wife."
"What about me?" Yun Wuyue said dissatisfied.
"The wine brewed by my wife is naturally better than his wine!" Gu Changsheng said.
"That's more like it!" Yun Wuyue was very satisfied.
"Of course, and Yao Xian!" Gu Changsheng added.
"That's a must!"
Houtu and Yun Wuyue said in unison.
Gu Changsheng heard this and laughed heartily, taking a large gulp of wine.
At this time, Gu Sheng was still explaining to Gu Huaiyu.
"Girl, I really didn't lie to you!" Gu Sheng said.
"Really? Then how do you explain the injuries on your body?" Although Gu Huaiyu believed him, she still wanted to know how Gu Sheng's injuries came about.
Gu Sheng said with a wry smile, "Originally, the opponent was alone, and I completely crushed him..."
Gu Sheng reported the process of his battle against the Myriad Transformation Celestial Venerable to Gu Huaiyu in detail. A Celestial Venerable reporting to a Saint King was like a subordinate reporting to a leader, down to the smallest detail. No one would believe it if it was spread out.
But this scene happened so magically.
In Gu Sheng's mouth, he transformed into the identity of a peerless hero, not only taking action to save his son in times of crisis, but also suppressing the opponent, chasing him, and beating him. In short, he was a combination of domineering and handsome.
It sounded like he was telling a story, but what Gu Sheng said was the truth. Gu Huaiyu wiped away her tears, propped her chin up, looked at Gu Sheng, and listened to him seriously.
"That person's weapon was a red spear, and the tip of the spear had a strange aura that could pierce my palm. He also wanted to threaten me with the creatures of a time and space, but I used a hand blade to break his spear. But who knew that an accident would happen at this time..."
"What happened?" Gu Huaiyu listened nervously. He was completely brought into the scene by Gu Sheng, and even when he first heard that Gu Youxian was attacked by the Myriad Transformation Celestial Venerable, his heart couldn't help but clench.
Gu Sheng continued, "That person's red spear was not only his weapon, but also a locator. After I broke it, that person's two senior brothers came over. At first, I fought three against one and was at a disadvantage. Fortunately, someone helped and separated one enemy. In the end, I fought two against one. Although I killed the enemy, I also left serious Dao injuries on my body!"
"Dao injuries!" Gu Huaiyu exclaimed, "No, I have to call Master over!"
Gu Sheng stopped her again.
"That's a Dao injury. If you're not careful, it may prevent you from breaking through in this lifetime," Gu Huaiyu said worriedly.
"I know you're worried about me, but Father also told me that this Dao injury may also become the best nourishment for me to advance to the Immortal Emperor!" Gu Sheng said.
"Really?"
Gu Huaiyu asked.
Gu Sheng nodded emphatically.
Gu Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief. Since Master said so, then there must be no problem!
"Things haven't ended here yet!" Gu Sheng continued to tell the story of the menacing arrival of the Danqing Immortal Emperor. When Gu Huaiyu heard that the Danqing Immortal Emperor had an ominous event because he wanted to peep at Gu Changsheng, Gu Huaiyu clapped her hands and cheered.
"Sure enough, Master is the strongest!" Gu Huaiyu said.
"..." I'm not bad either!
But remembering how perverted his old man was, Gu Sheng still didn't say this. He still wasn't working hard enough!
It took 500,000 years to become a Celestial Venerable, and he didn't know how long it would take to become an Immortal Emperor. Compared with his father, he was far behind!
"But Senior Brother, you are very strong to be able to kill them even when fighting two against one!" Gu Huaiyu said with a smile to Gu Sheng.
"Hehe, still far from it!" Gu Sheng was humble on the surface, but his heart was full of joy.
If it were someone else, even if his father praised her, he wouldn't be so excited, but now it was his recognized wife who was praising him. It was not the same!
"Senior Brother, let's settle down here next, the scenery here is pleasant, secluded and quiet, just right for you to recuperate!" Gu Huaiyu suggested.
"Okay!"
Faced with Gu Huaiyu's proposal, Gu Sheng naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, in this way, they would be living together!
