Chapter 116: The Wonderful Heart Of Bai Qing’er

The man blessed by the heavens, Ye Chen, was also roaring madly in his heart.

“Why! Why!!!”

“I, Ye Chen, am a charming and charismatic man who’s more handsome than anyone else in the world. Why are all the women who throw themselves at Gu Changqing so aloof and distant toward me?”

Ye Chen was going crazy in his mind as he clenched his fists tightly.

…

Inside the mirror.

At night, the stars shone coldly, the silver moon tilted to the left. The mountain peaks were silent as a thin fog surrounded them. It was bleak.

The two had escaped to a valley.

Gu Changqing sat cross-legged in the valley as he cultivated quietly.

Next to the fire, Bai Qing’er was roasting a rabbit.

“Brother Changqing, do you want it spicy?”

“Brother Changqing, I know of a really fun place around here, I’ll take you there tomorrow.”

“Brother Changqing, when we get married, let’s find a place that’s completely cut off from the world. I want a place with a lot of flowers and a big lake and…”

Bai Qing’er was like a little sparrow that just kept chirping nonstop.

She looked a little excited, so she didn’t look like she was running for her life. She looked more like she had come out with her lover for a holiday and was talking about their wonderful future life together.

She sat by the fire, the flames illuminating her fair and smooth face. Her eyelashes seemed to catch the light, making her eyes sparkle as she blinked.

Her features were as delicate as a painting’s, as beautiful as an immortal.

Her smile was pure and enchanting, like a little forest fairy.

But after she failed to get any response from the man.

She made a face in anger. When she was angry, she was the embodiment of a little devil.

“Gu Changqing, are you a mute? Can’t you just talk to me normally?”

“Humph! I’m never talking to you again!”

She turned away angrily and chewed viciously on the rabbit meat, refusing to give the man any.

Then she picked up some firewood to draw a line in the ground, as though she was trying to draw a line between herself and the man.

Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes and stared at the woman in front of him. His gaze was extremely conflicted.

It was emotional for a moment, but in the next instant, it was replaced by pure iciness.

He knew well that the feud from his childhood was definitely tied to the Unorthodox Sect. The deeper he was involved with this woman, the more pain she would suffer in the future.

He shut his eyes again and began cultivating in this silent, lonely space.

“Hoo…”

In the skies not too far off, black clouds rolled and covered the moon.

“They’ve caught up with us! Run!”

Bai Qing’er, who was just drawing the line with Gu Changqing just a moment ago, hurriedly threw the rabbit meat aside and ran like crazy with Gu Changqing.

…

Time passed. Nobody knew how long.

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing was sitting cross-legged in a house. Thick dao laws encircled his body.

His aura kept changing.

Sometimes, he would have the air of an immortal with ethereal dao waves.

Sometimes he would exude golden rays like the sun, his holy, pure rays shining down on the world.

Sometimes, he would be surrounded by murderous qi and exude an icy aura, making the room feel like an ice cave.

Creak.

The wooden door of the small house was pushed open.

A woman dressed in simple, low-quality clothing walked in. She carried a basket and there was something wrapped in paper inside it.

The woman looked like she was a married, older woman.

But her features that looked straight out of a painting seemed completely out of place.

Her aura was extraordinary and her eyes were something that could make the universe fall in love with her.

Bai Qing’er was all smiles as she entered the room and said to the man inside, “There were so many people gathered in the market to buy fabric today! In just a while, all my stock was sold out!”

Bai Qing’er was excited as she boasted about her sales.

Her fair hand slowly took the paper bag from the basket and opened it. It carried roasted chicken and a flask of wine.

“The roasted chicken smells so good! I used the money I earned from the fabric sales to buy the chicken, plus I got you an additional flask of wine. Come and try it,” said Bai Qing’er with a bright smile.

But the next moment.

Everything suddenly changed. The small yard was covered in grey clouds as cultivators in black landed in the human world.

Bai Qing’er’s expression immediately shifted. Her eyes were filled with frustration.

“Not again?”

She angrily rushed out of the house.

The sounds of qi exploded left and right in the yard, causing everything in the yard to fly. The yard was completely destroyed.

But the little house was still standing.

After some time.

The woman in plain clothing walked back into the house again, but she was now covered in blood.

She wiped away the bloodstains on her fair face and smiled bitterly with a conflicted expression, “It’s been three years, looks like we’ve got to move house again…”

…

Outside the mirror.

Bai Qing’er stared at this scene in the mirror with a gentle look in her eyes.

The time when she was on the run with Gu Changqing had been very hard.

But those were the sweetest memories to her.

That seemed to be the only good memories that the man had left her.

Even though the man had never expressed any love for her and actually interacted very little with her, even though they had to be on their toes every single day because the Unorthodox Sect was hunting them down.

Perhaps it was because she got to spend time with him every day, so she was already very satisfied with that.

As she stared at the mirror, her gaze grew more and more worried.

She knew that shortly after this, they would be separated.

And the next time she saw him, she would see him slay her own father.

…

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing sat on a mountain peak. Endless clouds were beneath his feet.

He shut his eyes and the power of the dao laws around him grew stronger and stronger.

His aura was like the ocean that could drown the sky. His vast aura was like a river that flooded the banks of spacetime.

Bai Qing’er quietly remained by his side without disturbing him as she looked warily into the distance.

…

Outside the mirror.

The cultivators could sense Gu Changqing’s aura. They couldn’t help feeling surprised in their hearts.

All of them could sense that the aura around Gu Changqing had grown stronger with time.

It was almost at Saint King now.

But he was still like an ordinary mortal with no cultivation at all.

Everyone could sense that Gu Changqing seemed to be just gathering energy like the last time he cultivated in human dao.

And when the energy he had accumulated reached a certain point, once he started actually cultivating, he would be able to ascend realm after realm in very little time!

“Looks like the Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation system is yet another powerful one.”

“Do you think it’s possible for him to go on the same journey as the time he was among the humans? That once he becomes a cultivator, he would immediately arrive at Quasi-Emperor or even Great Emperor?!”

“For the ordinary person, that’s definitely impossible. But when it comes to the Heavenly Emperor…it’s hard to say.”
