“Senior… Brother…”
Mu Qiuxue held Li Qing’s hand tightly and kept swinging it back and forth.
[Are we really that close? Why are you holding my hand so tightly?]
[It’ll look terrible if someone sees us like this.]
“Come on, Senior Brother, just come with me…” Mu Qiuxue actually began acting coquettishly.
“Well…”
Li Qing hesitated.
That damned place was simply too dangerous.
[But then again, the emergence of the Ruins of Oblivion will draw talented geniuses from every direction. There should be plenty of gossip to enjoy.]
[I suppose I can go. Worst case, I’ll leave as soon as I’m done watching the drama.]
[As for Mu Qiuxue, she’s a female lead, basically a natural magnet for trouble. Anyone who stays beside her automatically gets a hatred-attraction buff. She’s nothing but trouble.]
[Go with you? Forget it. If I’m going, I’ll sneak there alone.]
“Let go of my hand first.”
Li Qing tried several times to pull his hand free, but he failed every time.
Let go?
If I let go, won’t you just run away?
For the sake of this opportunity, I, Mu Qiuxue, am going all out. There’s no way I’m letting go. I won’t let go for the rest of my life.
Mu Qiuxue could hear Li Qing’s inner thoughts loud and clear.
You want to run? Not a chance.
So I’m nothing but trouble, huh? Fine. I’ll trouble you to death.
Mu Qiuxue smiled sweetly and said, “For some reason, holding Senior Brother’s hand feels very comfortable.”
[Is there something wrong with Mu Qiuxue?]
[I’m not some damn Pure Yang Dao Physique. That’s the physique that attracts female cultivators, and the higher a woman’s cultivation, the stronger the attraction becomes.]
“Senior… Brother…”
Mu Qiuxue once again began swinging Li Qing’s hand back and forth.
[There really must be something wrong with this woman.]
[Forget it. I’ll go with her for now, then find an opportunity to slip away halfway there.]
Li Qing immediately made up his mind.
Trying to slip away?
Then I guess this hand of mine is staying attached to you.
Mu Qiuxue secretly smiled.
Senior Brother Li’s hand is so warm. So this is what it feels like to hold a man’s hand.
Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, “Fine. Since Junior Sister Mu has sincerely invited me, I’ll accompany you.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother. Let’s go.”
Mu Qiuxue happily pulled Li Qing along by the hand and flew toward the outside of the sect.
Naturally, their actions did not escape the eyes of several Supreme Origin Immortal Sect disciples.
“What the hell? What am I seeing? The Saintess is actually holding hands with a man!”
“Who is this Senior Brother? He actually managed to win the Saintess’s favor.”
“Wasn’t the Saintess in love with Gu Beichen?”
“Holy crap! Our sect actually has someone this incredible? He stole Gu Beichen’s woman right from under his nose!”
“Awesome!” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“As long as he’s from our Supreme Origin Immortal Sect, I don’t care who steals Gu Beichen’s woman. I’m happy either way. I’ve disliked that bastard for a long time.”
“Senior Brother is mighty!”
In an instant, the entire sect erupted into excitement.
Meanwhile, the scene also fell into the eyes of many high-ranking members of the sect.
“Huh? Wasn’t Mu Qiuxue in love with Gu Beichen? What’s going on? She’s holding hands with someone else so openly.”
“What do you mean, in love with Gu Beichen? How could a sneaky thief like him possibly be worthy of our sect’s Saintess?”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“I don’t know who this disciple is, but as long as he’s from our Supreme Origin Immortal Sect, I support him.”
“Better to keep the benefits within the family. We all understand.”
Heaven only knew how disgusted they had felt when they first learned that their sect’s Saintess was in love with the Holy Son of the Moon Wheel Holy Land. Now, however, their moods instantly became incomparably pleasant.
Whether the two could actually become Dao Companions in the end did not matter for now. As long as this could disgust the Moon Wheel Holy Land, they would support it.
“Send people to spread the news.”
“We’re going to thoroughly disgust the Moon Wheel Holy Land, just like they disgusted us back then.”
Meanwhile, Li Qing received countless admiring gazes from disciples along the way, making his scalp tingle.
[Holy crap! I’m just a background character! My dear lady, don’t screw me over like this!]
“Senior Brother is mighty!”
“May Senior Brother and the Saintess become Dao Companions soon and infuriate that Gu Beichen from the Moon Wheel Holy Land!”
Someone in the crowd began shouting.
Li Qing was speechless.
[Holy crap! How did I forget about Gu Beichen?]
[Mu Qiuxue is the woman Gu Beichen has his eyes on.]
[Damn it. If word of this reaches his ears, his hatred toward me will instantly increase by 100,000. He’ll fight me to the death!]
[I haven’t even done anything, yet I’ve already maxed out the hatred of a Child of Destiny?]
[Mu Qiuxue, you can’t screw me over like this!]
“Senior Brother truly is a role model for our generation!”
“May Senior Brother and the Saintess have a child soon…”
Li Qing’s face turned green.
A child soon?
Li Qing snapped furiously, “Have a child with your uncle!”
“Huh? This Senior Brother being dragged by the hand doesn’t seem very happy.”
“It really does look that way.”
Li Qing couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
You already said I’m the one being dragged by the hand. How am I supposed to be happy?
“Let go of my hand.”
Li Qing began struggling.
“I won’t.”
Mu Qiuxue tightened her grip instead.
Hmph. If I let go, won’t you just run away?
“Let go.” This chapter is updated first at g.com.
“I won’t.”
“I said, let go of me!”
“No!”
The scene left countless people dumbfounded.
“I understand now. This Senior Brother is being forced by the Saintess to… Oh, no. I mean, she’s forcibly holding his hand.”
“I can picture it now. I can definitely picture it.”
“Way too vividly.”
Mischievous smiles appeared on the faces of many Supreme Origin Immortal Sect disciples.
“Hehe, young people these days really know how to have fun.”
“Spread the news. Don’t leave this part out either. I want to disgust the Moon Wheel Holy Land to death.”
“What Holy Son? He can’t even compare to an ordinary disciple of our sect.”
By now, Li Qing had tried countless times to pull his hand free, yet he still couldn’t escape Mu Qiuxue’s grip.
They were both at the same cultivation realm. Unless Li Qing activated his Dao Physique, neither of them could overpower the other.
Thus, the two continued bickering all the way out of the sect.
…
Tianjue Mountain Range.
The Tianjue Mountain Range, normally so desolate that few people ever visited it, had become extraordinarily lively.
A dazzling pillar of treasure light erupted from deep within the mountains and pierced straight into the heavens.
The emergence of a secret realm had attracted countless geniuses from across the Eastern Wilderness.
“Beichen, we’ve already examined this secret realm. It should be the resting place of a Great Power Realm cultivator. Once you enter, make sure you seize this opportunity.”
A purple-robed elder spoke while looking at the young man before him.
The two were none other than Lei Wanting and Gu Beichen of the Moon Wheel Holy Land.
Gu Beichen frowned slightly and asked, “Elder, aren’t you coming inside with me?”
The resting place of a Great Power Realm cultivator was certainly no safe place. If a King Realm expert accompanied him as his Dao Protector, it would naturally be much safer.
Lei Wanting shook his head and said, “I’ve already examined it. The secret realm is protected by a restriction that prevents King Realm experts from entering.”
“Disciple understands.”
Gu Beichen nodded.
Many secret realms had similar restrictions, so there was nothing unusual about it.
“Huh? Isn’t that Gu Beichen from the Moon Wheel Holy Land? His woman has already been stolen by another man, yet he’s still in the mood to explore a secret realm.”
“He probably doesn’t know yet. Someone has already dug away his corner.”
“Dug away his corner? More like they dug up the entire foundation.”
“I heard those two were holding hands and practically inseparable. They were so affectionate it was sickening. Even Gu Beichen never managed to get that far with her.”
“What?”
Gu Beichen had originally been contemplating matters concerning the secret realm, but the moment he heard those words, his heart jolted.
Mu Qiuxue was the woman he had set his sights on. She possessed the Profound Gold Soul Physique and was an important cultivation vessel for him.
He would never allow another man to touch her.
Gu Beichen’s expression darkened as killing intent surged within him. “Who is it? Who dares touch my woman?”
“Die.”
