Chapter 276: Sister, Let’s Reach Void Refining Perfection Together!

Sister, Let’s Reach Void Refining Perfection Together!

Wang Yue noticed that Liu Qingqing had been staring at Lord Jun without ever turning her gaze away.

Immediately, an idea sprang to her mind.

Recently, ever since she had come to the Gu Family from the Heavenly Cold Sect, she had almost exclusively enjoyed Lord Jun’s company!

This would not do!

Moreover, after some time, Lord Jun would probably have to go to the Central State Sword Sect, and it was uncertain how long they might be separated without seeing each other.

Thinking thus…

She pretended to pour tea for Lord Jun, but ‘accidentally’ spilled it on his chest.

“Ah!”

“Lord Jun, you should go wash and change your clothes…”

“It’s all my fault for being careless…”

Wang Yue exclaimed in surprise, fiddling a few times on Lord Jun’s body and saying flawlessly without any flaws.

“It’s nothing.”

Gu Changge took it as an accident, although a bit curious, for a cultivator at the Perfection of the Ruins Realm to be unable to hold a teacup steadily?

Still, he immediately used his Spiritual Energy to evaporate the tea on his body and clothes, leaving not a single stain.

Already in the Late Stage of the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, such a small trick was hardly worth mentioning, and certainly not worth the trouble of bathing and changing clothes.

“Let me pour another cup for Lord Jun…”

Upon seeing this, Wang Yue’s eyes shifted and she began to pour the tea again.

But as she passed the teacup to Lord Jun, she ‘accidentally’… spilled it again!

“…”

Gu Changge looked at her innocent face and twitched at the corner of his mouth.

“Lord Jun, I have never really done this sort of thing before, I’m just too careless…”

“Why don’t you wash and change your clothes?”

Wang Yue blinked and suggested.

But Liu Qingqing, who was standing nearby, raised her hand and a streak of Spiritual Energy removed the water stains from Lord Jun’s clothes.

Seeing this, Wang Yue pretended she was going to pour another cup of tea.

“Don’t.” Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

“I’ll go wash. No need to pour any more. There really is no need for this.”

Gu Changge, observing the scene, twitched his eyelids, and directly held her hand that was on the kettle.

Was she not going to give up until achieving her goal today!

Soon there wouldn’t be enough tea in this pot!

Saying this, he went straight toward a room in the palace.

That room housed a special hot spring, engraved with Spirit Gathering Array, and even some Elixirs prepared to be mixed into the hot spring water, offering not small benefits to cultivators.

The Gu Family had really put a lot of effort into this Young Master Palace!

Coming to the hot spring side chamber, Gu Changge simply hung his clothes carelessly on a wooden rack and comfortably laid down in it.

With a casual gesture, he drew an Elixir Bottle into his hand and dissolved the Inner Elixir in the hot spring water.

Such treatment, even the Family Head Gu Zhan of the Gu Family, could not enjoy.

It was truly luxurious!

But the many Elders of the Gu Family, including Family Head Gu Zhan, did not think there was anything inappropriate.

The Young Master was now the Sword Sect’s Saint, and the Gu Family could only provide these things; nothing better.

Otherwise, he’d deserve everything!

Could the Gu Family offer better than the treatment of the Sword Sect’s Saint?

They wouldn’t be petty!

Especially now that thanks to the Young Master, the Gu Family was rising like the sun in the Northern Domain; any power wanted to curry favor with the Gu Family.

Even beyond Qingzhou, many forces were showing goodwill towards the Gu Family.

It was clear that they expected the Gu Family would not just stay in Qingzhou but would affect the entire Northern Domain!

…

Back in the great hall, having achieved her goal, Wang Yue was not in a hurry but looked at Liu Qingqing and smiled slightly.

“Why, Lord Jun is not to your liking.”

Liu Qingqing also saw her intention, but Lord Jun had indeed been almost exclusively with her recently, neglecting Wang Yue.

She didn’t think too much, just feeling that if her goal was achieved, why not go to the hot spring side chamber?

“Sister, don’t you want to join us?”

“Attending to Lord Jun by myself is indeed a bit tiring…”

“If Sister is willing to join, that would be perfect.”

Wang Yue cupped her cheek in her hands, her arms propped on the table, and without hurrying to the hot spring side chamber, instead, she revealed her true intention to Liu Qingqing.

“…”

Hearing her words, Liu Qingqing was first stunned, then looked at her with a face full of astonishment.

She wondered if she had heard wrong…

But what she said was indeed the truth; as the Realm increased…

Each time was quite tiring.

Yet she had never considered doing it together with Wang Yue!

“What, Sister, are you unwilling?”

“But if attending to Lord Jun by myself, it’s fine to be a bit tired, I’m just afraid Lord Jun might not enjoy it to the fullest…”

“Wouldn’t that be our fault?”

Seeing her speechless, Wang Yue sighed and continued.

After speaking, she fixed her gaze on Liu Qingqing.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, she showed a conflicted expression, pursing her lips slightly.

If it was for Lord Jun’s sake…

Then it wasn’t entirely unacceptable.

“Forget it, Sister, just think about it yourself.”

“You wouldn’t want to keep Lord Jun waiting…”

Seeing her waver, Wang Yue said no more and stood up, stepping lightly toward the hot spring side chamber.

At the doorway, she even glanced back Liu Qingqing sitting at the table in the hall.

But without further ado, she pushed the door and entered.

Leaving Liu Qingqing alone at the table, her lips pursed and her mind in turmoil.

For a long while…

“It’s all for Lord Jun…”

Liu Qingqing stood up and headed to the hot spring side chamber as well.

Inside the hot spring side chamber.

As Wang Yue entered, Gu Changge thought to himself as expected.

He knew his Wife must have been craving his body!

There she was with her little tricks.

But just as he was about to activate the Isolation Array within the side chamber.

Wang Yue spoke up and interrupted, “Lord Jun, no rush, wait a moment.”

“Hm?”

“Wait for what?”

This did take Gu Changge by surprise.

But Wang Yue didn’t say anything else, after all, she didn’t know if Liu Qingqing would follow her in.

Until moments later, just as she thought Liu Qingqing wasn’t coming and prepared to activate the Isolation Array, about to discuss the mysteries with Lord Jun,

The door of the side hall opened.

Liu Qingqing walked in, head lowered, her ears blushing with shame.

She really couldn’t be as open as Wang Yue…

Right now, her heartbeat was so fast it made her anxious.

“This…”

Gu Changge was taken aback upon seeing this.

He had been waiting for Qingqing!?

So this was what!?

Before he could react, Wang Yue had already activated the side hall’s Isolation Array.

And she even took the initiative to pull Liu Qingqing by the hand to sit down by the pool.

“Do you mind, Lord Jun, if the two of us serve you together?”

Hearing this, there was no way Gu Changge would disagree!

…

[At the foot of the Back Mountain’s small courtyard]

“Young Master will probably break through the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm in no more than a year.”

“Once we return to the Sword Sect, who knows how many people will be utterly shocked.”

“Daoist Fellow Xue, by then you can also try to attack the Sage Realm, I can assist you a bit, and with the Young Master’s influence, an Elder position should be no problem.”

During this time, the two of them had discussed many matters that need attention when breaking through to the Sage Realm with Old Blind Man.

However, the one discussed most was Gu Changge.

They had personally witnessed his terrifyingly fast breakthrough speed, originally thinking they had a long way before returning to the Sword Sect, but now it seems it won’t take much time!

“Alas, Young Master not only has heaven-defying Talent.”

“He also has resilience, practicing in seclusion inside the palace every day without going out much.”

“Every time he goes out, it’s to collect Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, devoted to Cultivation.”

“It probably won’t take a thousand years for him to reach the same level as the current First Peak’s Saint Heir!”

“Or maybe even three to five hundred years would be enough.”

Sage Jian Chen sighed deeply.

There were many with talent, and quite a few with determination.

If one possesses one of these qualities, they could already make some distance on the cultivation path.

If one possesses both, they could achieve something on their cultivation journey.

But, unfortunately, the Young Master has both to Perfection—if he couldn’t ascend to Human Immortal, it would truly be unreasonable.

Just like now, the Young Master had just collected Cultivation Resources and was probably in the Young Master Palace, striving desperately in his cultivation, truly admirable!

“Who can say otherwise?”

“In my whole life, only this decision to follow Young Master was the most correct,” Old Blind Man said with a smile as he listened to the others’ endless sighs and praises.

“It’s just that we don’t know when the Young Master will need us to do what he mentioned before.”

“Daoist Fellow Xue, do you have any idea what it is?”

Sage Zhao was most concerned about when he could be of use to the Young Master.

Currently, they were only followers in name, but if they couldn’t do anything for the Young Master, he would feel uneasy.

Once they got to the Central State Sword Sect, it might be difficult to have such an opportunity to curry favor with the Young Master!

If the Young Master needed help, the Sword Sect would surely have countless people willing to assist, just to leave a good impression.

At a critical moment, receiving his support or just one word from him could be a tremendous help!

“This… I really don’t know.”

Old Blind Man shook his head slightly at the question.

…

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

This month, Gu Changge had quite a delightful time.

Even his cultivation fell a bit lax.

However, after he finished his cultivation and collected the fruits of his Daoist Couple’s practice yesterday,

He finally welcomed another breakthrough!

His aura kept soaring.

Around him, numerous Tao Rhythms enveloped him.

The thick Xuanhuang Qi, the piercing chill of the Cold Tao Rhythm, the noble Emperor’s Aura, and a wisp of Purple Qi.

The four kinds of Tao Rhythms complemented each other, merging harmoniously, indistinguishably.

And upon his body, small snake-like arcs of electricity occasionally flashed, radiating an aura of destruction that made those four Tao Rhythms seem slightly weaker.

When he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Slowly opening his eyes, his pupils faintly glowed with a dark golden light that quickly disappeared in a flash.

His entire aura had ascended to a higher level, reaching Perfection in the Void Refining Realm!

“It’s time to prepare for a trip to the Imperial City.”

After Gu Changge adjusted his breath and got used to the strength improvement brought by the new Realm,

He was only one Small Realm away from breaking through to the Infinite Realm.

Based on his current pace, roughly two more months would suffice.

With half a year to spare, he had plenty of time.

When he stepped out of the Seclusion Room, however, he found that Qingqing had not secluded herself today and was waiting in the main hall.

“Husband has broken through again!?”

Seeing him emerge, Liu Qingqing couldn’t help but be startled.

She remembered her Husband had just had a breakthrough a little over a month ago, how could he have another so soon…

But in a moment, she calmed down.

She had been too frequently stunned by her Husband’s breakthrough speed, and although she found each time to be almost defying the heavens, she was somewhat prepared.

“Wife has something on her mind?”

Gu Changge asked with a smile, showing concern.

“Um…”

“The Sect has summoned me back.”

Liu Qingqing then remembered she had been waiting to speak to her Husband about something.

She sighed softly, expressing reluctance.

“So urgent?”

“Well… after all, it’s been three months since you came to the Gu Family, and Wife is after all the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly, not surprised.

“Husband plans to head to the Sword Sect after breaking through to the Seventh Grade Unlimited Realm?”

“I suppose… with Husband’s cultivation speed, it will only take another two or three months to break through to the Infinite Realm, right?”

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips, her eyes filled with complexity.

“Roughly so, I’ll probably stay in the Northern Domain for about three more months.” Gu Changge estimated the time and nodded.

“Well then…”

“Husband, before you leave the Northern Domain, could you visit the Heavenly Cold Sect once again?”

“This separation, I don’t know how long it will be…”

Liu Qingqing looked somewhat downcast as her slender fingers fidgeted with the hem of her dress.

“Of course.”

“Even if my wife did not mention it, I would naturally plan to see my wife before leaving.”

“However, if my wife really can’t bear it, I could also help my wife join the Central State Holy Land. If the Sword Sect were to object, Wan Hua Valley should be fine too, as long as my wife briefly demonstrates her Acquired Spirit Body Root Bone.”

Gu Changge said with a slight smile, and what he said was indeed true. As things stood currently, it would definitely be no problem if he himself wanted to take someone to the Sword Sect.

As for Wan Hua Valley, they seemed to have intentions of currying favor with him too.

All my wife needs to do is slightly display her talent, meet the apprentice acceptance standards, and with my referral, joining should not be difficult.

“This…”

“Let’s forget it.”

Liu Qingqing shook her head; although she also wanted to go to Central State to be by her husband’s side, she was, after all, the Saintess of the Heavenly Cold Sect. She had not only received the Saintess’s inheritance but also enjoyed the treatment of the Saintess.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures provided by the Heavenly Cold Sect for her cultivation were also incredibly valuable.

She couldn’t just leave directly.

“But honestly, my wife will certainly have to go to Central State in the future.”

“As for the Heavenly Cold Sect…”

“At that time, I will find a way to give them an offer they can’t refuse,” Gu Changge said very seriously, having figured out her thoughts.

The Four Domains were only sufficient for cultivating up to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm; to advance one’s realm beyond that, one’s only choice was Central State.

The wives had all been molded by him to have the talent of an Acquired Dao Body. Even in the barren Northern Domain, the speed of cultivation would not be delayed too much.

But after the Ninth Grade, they would ultimately need to leave.

But he also understood Qingqing’s character; even back when everyone opposed that arranged child marriage, she had resolutely wanted to marry him.

Now, as the Saintess of the Heavenly Cold Sect, she could not directly cause substantial losses to her Sect.

“Hmm…”

Liu Qingqing knew that what her husband said was the truth, and she could only take it one step at a time.

“When will you set off?”

Gu Changge temporarily put aside those thoughts. Once he went to the Sword Sect and had established his own place in Central State, he could give some benefits to the Heavenly Cold Sect and then invite his wife to Central State as well.

Even…

Perhaps by that time, the Northern Domain might already bear the Gu surname, with the Gu Family reigning supreme.

Simply giving the Heavenly Cold Sect some benefits in the Northern Domain would be enough.

However, these were not concerns for him to worry about just now; before that, he still needed to deal with Wang Yue and the Northern Domain Royal Family!

“Today, I will return to the Heavenly Cold Sect,” Liu Qingqing said helplessly.

Just a few days ago, her Sect had sent a message, and she had wanted to wait to see her husband before leaving.

“I’ll escort my wife.”

Gu Changge didn’t bother with pleasantries. At this moment, it was better to focus on improving oneself rather than indulging in time spent together, since once he achieved a certain realm, he could be with her forever without separation!

After escorting his wife out of the city and returning to the palace,

Wang Yue seemed to have already heard the commotion and waited in the hall.

“Now Lord Husband is all mine again.”

“How is it?”

“Did this princess not fulfill a little wish for Lord Husband this time?” Wang Yue said with a squinted smile.

“Indeed…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changge responded with a slight smile, not denying it.

He had to admit; Yue’er truly had fulfilled a little wish of his this time.

“As thanks, I’ll accompany you to the Imperial City in a few days,” Gu Changge said offhandedly, looking at her smug expression.

“Really!?” Wang Yue’s face lit up with surprise.

She knew what that meant!

Lord Husband returning to the Imperial City with her would certainly not be for a casual visit, but for the promise he made to her years ago!

That thing which once seemed like a fantasy to her…

But it was just a gamble. Yet today, it was about to become a reality.

Of course…

Her current realm might not be sufficient, but what of that? As long as she could seal this deal, with her Acquired Dao Body, just a few more years of cultivation would give her the chance to attempt the breakthrough to the Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm.

Once she broke through to the Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, she would rightfully ascend to the throne as the Empress of the Northern Domain!

Besides, she did not have her father’s ambition to unify the Northern Domain; she just wanted to fulfill her dream of being an Empress.

If the Gu Family ended up with great power, supporting the Northern Domain, she wouldn’t mind.

After all, it would still belong to Lord Husband…

Even if she became the Empress of the Northern Domain, her Dragon Bed would still belong to Lord Husband!

Of course… if Liu Qingqing wanted to come next time, that wouldn’t be impossible either.

“Have I ever lied to you, Young Master?” Gu Changge said with a gentle smile, choosing not to say more.

He felt that Little Hanhan should be able to achieve a breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Void Refining Realm in the next few days.

It would be best to set off then.

Otherwise, this little guy would wake up from a breakthrough with no one to share the joy with.

Alone in the cold palace.

“I love Lord Husband the most!”

Wang Yue immediately looked adoringly at him, her eyes almost turning into little hearts.

As expected, as long as she wholeheartedly did well by Lord Husband, he would not treat her unfairly.

…

Several days later.

As a dragon’s cry echoed over the Gu Family’s property, Yuan Youbai also successfully advanced to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm!

At the foot of Gu Family’s Back Mountain, the Old Blind Man and the others exchanged glances.

“It’s time to set off…”

A few days earlier, Gu Changge had dropped by.

He told them that once Yuan Youbai had his breakthrough, they would prepare to head to the Northern Domain Imperial City.

As for what they would do there, the three of them did not bother to ask.

With the two Elders of the Sword Sect present, they would surely prevent any harm to their Young Master.

What could the Northern Domain Royal Family amount to in front of the true behemoth, the Sword Sect?

How would they dare to lay a hand on the Sword Sect’s Saint Heir?

Their visit was merely a precaution, in case someone truly lost their mind and acted without considering the consequences.

“Hehe…”

“I wonder what expression those two old folks from the Wang Family will have.”

In the Back Mountain, the Gu Family Ancestor also smiled faintly, looking forward to seeing the faces of those two old fellows after arriving at the Northern Domain Imperial City.
