Chapter 235 Venerable Qingqiu

Upon entering a grand hall, Gu Yuchuan finally met the mistress of Qingqiu. She was a dignified woman, dressed in a phoenix robe, with a towering crown adorned with numerous ornaments, exuding an air of elegance and nobility that no one was to be disrespectful to.

Gu Yuchuan couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he could tell from her figure that she must be a beautiful woman.

Bai Ping bowed and said, "Mother, I have brought the dragon here."

The Venerable One opened her eyes and glanced at Gu Yuchuan. Her gaze was extremely mysterious. Gu Yuchuan did not dare to meet her eyes. He could feel that looking into her eyes was like facing the laws of nature. If he was not careful, he would be assimilated.

"Alright, go and cultivate diligently, and strive to become a Nascent Soul expert as soon as possible. When that happens, our Qingqiu will have two Nascent Soul experts, and everything will be different."

Bai Ming glanced at Gu Yuchuan, clearly wanting to say something more, but since her mother had spoken, she could only obey and slowly withdrew. The hall fell silent again, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere. Gu Yuchuan felt he should say something, otherwise the atmosphere would be uncomfortable.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "This junior greets Venerable Qingqiu. Thank you for sending the Demon Emperor to save me."

The venerable one looked at him, waved his hand, and a stool appeared behind him.

"Sit down. I'm not doing this to save you, you know that. I'm doing this to save Xiaowei."

Her voice was ethereal; though she was right beside Gu Yuchuan, her words sounded as if they were from afar, distant and elusive, making one feel solemn.

Gu Yuchuan's expression changed drastically upon hearing the next sentence.

"Xiao Wei has been in the other world for too long. She has finally broken through the tribulation of love. Since she can see through it, I, as her elder, should naturally help her. Perhaps the second Venerable of Qingqiu will be Xiao Wei. My good-for-nothing daughter is still far from becoming a Venerable."

Gu Yuchuan didn't dare say a word. Even if what the Venerable One said was true, Bai Ping was still someone's daughter. The Venerable One might say he didn't like her, but he would absolutely not allow others to say it. If others said it, they would definitely be unhappy. Gu Yuchuan was very good at handling interpersonal relationships, and he wouldn't take the blame.

Seeing that Gu Yuchuan remained silent, the Venerable continued, "This Xiaowei was born from the destiny of my Qingqiu. I had such high hopes for her back then. It's a pity. In our fox clan, the more talented a person is, the more likely they are to fall into the tribulations of love. She can only blame herself for not being able to overcome her fate. Fortunately, everything is in the past now."

The Venerable One's tone carried a hint of regret; clearly, she had once had great faith in Xiao Wei, but life is unpredictable, and Xiao Wei had disappointed her.

"You're a demon from another world, and you're protected by other Venerables. It seems you're valued by Venerables in your realm as well. You're quite a prodigy. Well, even the lowest-ranking dragon is still a dragon. And since it's a dragon, it's bound to be powerful. Tell me, what reward do you want for helping me?"

Gu Yuchuan always felt that the other person's words were sinister. Even though the other person looked elegant and dignified now, he still felt that the other person had ill intentions, so he naturally did not want him.

"Your Excellency is too kind to me. Miss Xiaowei has already given me a lot by coming here. What I have done is really not worth any more reward."

His attitude elicited a light laugh from the Venerable One, who then took out half of his tail and tossed it to him.

"Here, this is Xiao Wei's other half of her tail. A mortal, taking advantage of his love tribulation, colluded with the Demon Suppression Prison and dared to steal the fortune of my Qingqiu, forming a Golden Core family. It's utterly absurd. If I hadn't taken this half of her tail beforehand and sealed it with a secret technique, Xiao Wei wouldn't have survived until she woke up. Flood Dragon, how about we make a deal?"

Her voice carried a certain magic, clearly indicating the use of some kind of enchantment. However, both the Golden Light Spell and the Dragon Bloodline had a clear counter to enchantment, and he really didn't feel like he was being controlled.

But what does it matter whether he's being controlled or not? If a Venerable One makes a deal with you, can you refuse? Gu Yuchuan certainly wouldn't dare. He could tell that the Venerable One was giving him face, and if he refused, he would be ungrateful.

"The Wang family has gone too far in humiliating my Qingqiu. Before you leave, help me annihilate the entire Wang family, and I'll give you an offensive magic weapon, how about that?"

Hearing her request, Gu Yuchuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't something he couldn't do at all. Wang Ankang from the Wang family was very weak. He was able to destroy the Wang family, but he had some doubts.

“Your Excellency, Qingqiu’s power is far greater than that of the Wang family. It would be very easy for you to destroy them. Why do you need me to do it?”

She sneered, "You don't know about the affairs of our Wanhua Realm. Although we demons have an advantage in the Wanhua Realm, there are two major forces within the demon race: Qingqiu and the Dragon Palace. We check and balance each other. The human race and the demon race also maintain a facade of peace. If Qingqiu were to go to the heartland of the human race to wipe out the human forces, the nature of the situation would be completely different, and it might even cause great chaos in the world. I cannot bear such consequences."

So that's how it is. It seems that even becoming a Venerable in the Nascent Soul stage doesn't mean one can do whatever one wants.

“In that case, Venerable One, I agree. I will make preparations and then depart.”

The Venerable One handed him a pair of scissors: "These are the Gold and Silver Scissors. They are a powerful offensive magic weapon. They were forged from two dragons, but the attributes of these two dragons were not quite right. During the forging process, their attributes exploded. Originally, they could have become a high-grade magic weapon, but in the end, they only became a low-grade magic weapon. However, their attack power is still very strong, and they are compatible with you. Here, consider it your reward. After you complete the task, you can leave directly and do not need to come back."

Gu Yuchuan took the magic weapon and stood up. To be fair, the magic weapon was quite good. He could feel its power as soon as he picked it up. It was something he liked. It was perfect. Right now, he was indeed lacking an offensive magic weapon, so this could be considered to make up for his shortcomings. In the future, when he no longer needed it, he could give it to his subordinates.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you very much, senior. I will definitely do my best to fulfill your request. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

After she left, the Venerable One's gaze turned extremely cold, with a hint of chill in the corners of his eyes, as if he had done something.
