"Oh my, since when has Brother You Di become so modest? This humble servant knows that Brother You Di has always been quite the romantic, often exchanging flirtatious glances with many a Great Dao Empress... Empress Shizun, Empress Nüzong, Empress Nüdi...
Empress Youming, even the Saintess Empress of the present era has been deeply devoted to Brother You Di."
"Can't be helped."
Gu Qingfeng sat in the chair, one arm wrapped around the mysterious woman's slender waist, shrugged, and said, "Who told this master to have such great charm?"
He raised a finger to lift the mysterious woman's chin, smiling with a roguish air. "Isn't even you, this Heishui Empress, utterly bewitched by this master now?"
"Hehehe...
Brother You Di truly is quite the romantic..." "Of course! As the old saying goes, a man who isn't romantic in his youth wastes his youth!
Hahaha!"
Gu Qingfeng laughed heartily, one hand holding the Heishui Empress, the other holding a dragon-tripod wine cup, admiring it for a moment before glancing at the obsidian three-legged cauldron placed on the table. "Your drinking vessel here looks quite nice."
"Does Brother You Di like it?"
The Heishui Empress nestled in Gu Qingfeng's embrace, her smooth silk robe slipping off her fragrant shoulder, her chest faintly visible. She raised a delicate jade hand to gently stroke Gu Qingfeng's utterly ordinary face, her soul-stealing eyes gazing seductively into his, her voice soft. "If Brother You Di likes it, this humble servant can give it to you."
"Really?"
Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the obsidian three-legged cauldron. "Such a fine treasure, you're willing to give it to this master?"
The Heishui Empress rose to sit on Gu Qingfeng's lap, her arms hooking around his neck, bringing her face close until her seductive fiery lips were almost touching his mouth, whispering, "This humble servant herself belongs to Brother You Di, what else would I be unwilling to part with?" As she spoke, the Heishui Empress leaned in to kiss him. Suddenly, a finger was placed before her lips. It was Gu Qingfeng's finger. He chuckled, "Big sister, I'm a proper gentleman, you know."
"This humble servant never said Brother You Di wasn't proper..." "Fair enough."
"Brother You Di, come on..." The Heishui Empress pushed aside Gu Qingfeng's finger, determined to kiss him.
"What's the hurry?"
Gu Qingfeng resisted, summoning two cups of dragon-tripod fine wine. "Let's drink a wedding cup first."
"Alright...
This humble servant will listen to Brother You Di..."
On Heishui Mountain, Gu Qingfeng and the mysterious woman were being intimate in full view of the public. At this moment, Gu Qingfeng's unrestrained demeanor was exactly like that of a romantic libertine, while the mysterious woman's enchanting, seductive appearance was exactly like that of a bewitching fox demon.
This scene made the crowd gathered in the void of the Lingluo Heavenly Domain quite uncomfortable, especially some of the women, who all lowered their heads, turned away, or closed their eyes, too embarrassed to watch further.
"Damn it all!"
Among the crowd, an old bachelor like Huode watched with a flushed face, inwardly cursing incessantly.
This kid Gu's heart is too damn big!
Who knows how many experts are lying in wait in the Lingluo Heavenly Domain, and the Three Thousand Great Daos are all watching intently. Yet this kid is not only hugging and embracing this so-called Heishui Empress, but he's even drinking a wedding cup with her!
These two, one throwing herself into his arms, the other accepting all comers.
One enchantingly seductive, the other unrestrained and wild.
Each more shameless than the last!
Thank goodness there are so many people watching; otherwise, judging by the look of things, these two might just strip naked and go at it right then and there.
This is too damn brazen, too lawless!
Knowing full well the Three Thousand Great Daos are watching this place, and still acting like this—it's simply not putting the Three Thousand Great Daos in their eyes at all.
In the distance.
Heavenly Immortal Yun Wan watched Gu Qingfeng and the Heishui Empress on Heishui Mountain. Perhaps she too was too embarrassed to continue watching, as she turned away, muttering something under her breath before asking, "Lotus Granny, do you know who this Heishui Empress is?"
Lotus Granny, after all, was a senior who had cultivated for many years. Watching the scene unfolding on Heishui Mountain, her ancient, placid eyes held little emotional fluctuation. She shook her head. "This old one has never heard of a Heishui Empress either."
"Granny, can you not see through her?"
"I cannot."
"Even Granny cannot see through her?"
Yun Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Then who could she be?"
"Her existence is likely beyond what we can imagine."
"Then why has she come here? Could it be...
she really just came to find You Di like this..." "Probably not!"
Lotus Granny shook her head again. "As for why she has appeared now, this old one cannot fathom it for the moment."
"Granny!
There's one more thing I don't understand."
Yun Wan frowned and asked, "You Di has already appeared, many mysterious experts lying in wait in the Lingluo Heavenly Domain have also emerged, and the Three Thousand Great Daos are watching this place, yet...
why is it so quiet?
They all seem to be waiting for something."
"You are correct. They are indeed all waiting."
"What exactly are they waiting for?"
"They are waiting for an opportune moment."
"What kind of moment?"
"An opportune moment. There are far too many terrifying existences behind this matter. Their purpose in adding fuel to the fire is only one: to incite war between the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao and You Di. To be precise, some wish to use the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao to test the extent of the Original Sin upon You Di's person, while others wish to use You Di to stir up chaos in the Great Desolation and thus push the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao from its position as the leader of the Great Daos."
Lotus Granny gazed at the crowd gathered in the void of the Lingluo Heavenly Domain and said, "If this old one's guess is correct, someone will surely step forward shortly, using the name of denouncing You Di to question the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao. As long as someone dares to step forward, then those lurking in the shadows will respond one after another. Among these people are many who wish for You Di to die without reincarnation."
Closing her eyes, Lotus Granny said, "There are cave heavens and blessed lands like Dan-Ding Valley, great immortal realms like the True Martial Immortal Realm, and ancient families passed down since antiquity like the Illusory World Family. There are far too many existences that want You Di dead. They all harbor deep hatred for him and wish to seize this opportunity to force the Nine Heavens Immortal Dao to act."
"It's just that these existences are all deeply hidden and will not easily reveal themselves, nor dare to reveal themselves lightly. That is why they pushed Lord Saint Yang out front."
Pausing briefly, she looked toward Lord Saint Yang, who was surrounded by a group of Heavenly Domain Immortal Officials. Lotus Granny continued, "Originally, Lord Saint Yang was the best candidate to denounce You Di. His disciples and old subordinates are spread throughout the Heavenly Domain, his power overwhelming the court, commanding instant obedience. Not only is he the ruler of the Heavenly Domain, he is also a Sovereign of the Immortal Dao. He possessed all advantages of timing, location, and popular support. With him appearing to denounce You Di and others adding fuel to the fire, the momentum would have surged instantly. Unfortunately, those lurking in the shadows never anticipated that Lord Saint Yang was too afraid of You Di. At the critical final moment, he couldn't hold on and was scared into collapse."
