Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Are you actually interested in your own cousin? That couldn't be, right?

1Zain: Sweet Home Alabama~

Near Peach Village, everyone who saw the scene froze up, unable to help but stare.

Even the old antiques became wide-eyed, dumbfounded at this insane progression.

"This..."

The Peach Village Chief rubbed his forehead helplessly.

The rest of the old folks also looked at a complete loss.

To think that Gu Xian'er would choose to dig up her own Fairy Bones in order to help Gu Changge.

It came as a massive surprise to them, but it wasn't as if they could say much more about it.

It was their family matter, after all. As masters, the most they could do was prevent that Gu Changge from bullying or taking advantage of Gu Xian'er.

It'd be difficult to stop Gu Xian'er if she truly wanted to do it anyways.

And yet, Gu Changge had surprisingly tried to stop her himself, saying such words that made the old folks feel extremely surprised and taken aback.

Enough to make them feel a tad embarrassed and ashamed.

But thinking about it carefully, as an elder brother, there also seemed to be nothing wrong with Gu Changge talking to his own sister like this...

Gu Changge calmly let go of Gu Xian'er after speaking his piece.

His bottomless eyes stared at her without a word, appearing as deep as an abyss.

"Wuuuuuu... G-Gu Changge! You—What nonsense are you even s-saying?!"

The meaning of Gu Changge's words just now struck her.

On Gu Xian'er's jade-like face, a haze of red erupted, looking like a ripe peach.

Her voice trembled and her heart almost beat out of her chest. The young girl was in a panic.

Half her words stuck fast in her throat.

She never imagined that Gu Changge, who had always been indifferent to her, would suddenly say such gentle and caring words.

How ridiculous 'I'd rather die than let you get hurt'.

It was so damned mushy!

And in front of everyone in the Peach Village too!

This made Gu Xian'er's head buzz for a long time, as if she had been hit by a large, golden bell.

Her limbs felt weak and powerless.

If this had happened at any other time, she would definitely have retorted with a hiss and humph.

But seeing his appearance today... wasn't he simply worried about her, and thus ended up revealing his true feelings, which this stone-faced man usually never shows to anyone?

This made Gu Xian'er unable to respond in the way she normally would.

Gu Changge revealing his true feelings like this had completely exceeded her expectations.

After that outburst, she was afraid that she could no longer dig out this Fairy Bone of hers today.

"Nonsense? I'm just speaking the truth."

Gu Changge shook his head as his expression returned to its natural state, "I am your elder brother; I won't be reduced to the point where you would need to dig up your own bones to save me. For me, this kind of humiliation is worse than death, so don't even think about it."

"The grievances between us have already been cleared up. You don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything. There is no repayment. No lingering debt."

His voice was as still as dead water.

At this time, if he didn't make it abundantly clear, Gu Xian'er—this bumbling idiot—might still think about digging up her Bones to 'save' him or something.

And although she did have a Nirvana experience previously, it was difficult to say whether or not she could survive after digging out her Bones once more.

Not to mention the almost negligible chance of growing the Bones again.

Gu Changge did not want her to take useless risks either. What would be the use of digging out her Fairy Bones now, when they were useless to him?

The Demonic Nature within his body had long been resolved.

Of course, this truth cannot be revealed to Gu Xian'er.

"So stubborn!"

"That's not even close to what you said just now..."

Hearing this, Gu Xian'er was a little indignant, and her beautiful eyes stared at him in irritation.

She still remembered what Gu Changge said earlier. He was obviously worried about her safety, not wanting to see her get hurt for him.

Yet he was now trying to turn around and deny everything he said?

"I said exactly what I meant." Gu Changge replied indifferently.

"Why are you so stubborn, can't you admit that you care about me?"

Gu Xian'er snorted.

Her expression was one of seemingly seeing through Gu Changge's true intentions.

But in Gu Changge's opinion, her expression only meant that she needed a thorough beating.

This was the consequence of following along with her fantasies too much.

"Senior Taoyao has already told me how to solve my Demonic Nature, so I don't need you to cause further trouble for me." Gu Changge then added.

"What do you mean I'll cause trouble?" Gu Xian'er's face scrunched up into a displeased frown.

Gu Changge shook his head and said nothing more.

"Since the senior has already told me the solution, was there a need to tell this idiot too?"

Instead, he glanced over towards Taoyao, his words sharp and piercing.

Though Taoyao seemed to act peaceful and gentle enough, it seemed to also possess the tendency to watch the fun, not taking matters too seriously.

A demon was still a demon in the end2Her name means Peach Demon..

"Are you blaming me? This is what Xian'er entrusted to me, after all. Since I dared to tell, then I'm of course certain of the outcome..." The voice coming from the Peach Tree was as plain as dry mud, indifferent and devoid of emotions.

Gu Xian'er's opportunity to reach enlightenment and the birth of her new Fairy Bone were, in all honesty, inseparable from the Peach Tree's meddling.

Telling Gu Xian'er this meant she was not afraid that her life would be in danger.

"I begged Sister Taoyao to tell me. Gu Changge, don't blame her."

Hearing Gu Changge's questioning tone, Gu Xian'er hurriedly defended the Peach Tree, a little anxious.

For fear that Gu Changge will hold a grudge against Sister Taoyao because of this incident.

The young girl understood very well Gu Changge's vengeful character.

Although he was not as powerful as Sister Taoyao was right now, if Gu Changge really wanted to deal with someone, with the background and forces behind him, it would still be horrifying.

But speaking of that, the only reason Gu Changge would scold Sister Taoyao so much was also because he was worried about her.

This made Gu Xian'er a little happier.

With that being said, Gu Changge naturally didn't continue questioning the tree.

Taoyao didn't speak up anymore and regained her tranquillity, letting down strands after strands of divine light to clean up Yaoyao's Dao injury, while the little girl slept peacefully under it.

This scene made several old folks sigh with emotion.

[The next few days.]

Gu Changge temporarily stayed in the Peach Village with Gu Xian'er.

And he had to admit, however terrible the depths of the Land of Abandoned Immortals was made out to be, the scenery of the village was very beautiful, much like a heavenly paradise.

The dense spiritual energy cast a golden glow on the clouds, as the morning sun fell to twilight.

Dyed with a layer of splendid brilliance.

As the Peach Tree's branches stretched out towards the sky.

Many spiritual birds and auspicious beasts also roamed nearby, but the larger ones were afraid to go any closer to the village, in fear of being slapped to death by Taoyao.

Moreover, the strength and vitality of every villager here was far beyond that of normal cultivators, even if they did not actively practice cultivation.

In Gu Changge's opinion, this must have something to do with Taoyao's strengthening.

As the patron saint of Peach Village, she treated these villagers very well.

Perhaps it was as she said; living for too long is boring, so she needed to find something to do.

During this time, Gu Changge also got to know a lot about Gu Xian'er's many masters.

Under small nudges and seemingly innocent questions, he managed to uncover their origins.

And it was exactly as he had guessed. This Gu Xian'er truly possessed two sets of Destiny Templates, and none of her masters were fuel-efficient lamps.

3Kshn: Hope you guys remember the meaning of this.

Each and every one of their origins were shocking, a collection of legends and myths that had made names for themselves in the outside world, before congregating here for various unknown reasons.

Their real cultivation bases were estimated to have exceeded the Supreme Realm, and perhaps even the Emperor Realm that has been sealed away to this day.

As most of the populace knows, only after a cultivator has completed the Nine Stages of the Quasi-Supreme Realm can they attempt to breakthrough into the Supreme Realm.

And there is also a similar threshold between the Supreme Realm and Emperor Realm, dubbed the Quasi-Emperor Realm by the cultivators who have knowledge of it.

It's just that the Quasi-Emperor Realm was not really a realm, but actually a title for cultivators who have surpassed the boundaries of the Supreme Realm, but haven't yet reached the Emperor Realm.

The sky-shattering sword that had slashed Sea King's Palace was caused exactly by such an expert.

Gu Xian'er's master, for some personal reasons, seemed to have temporarily left Peach Village and ventured into the outside world.

Then, he probably heard wind that Gu Xian'er's was being bullied by the fellows from the Sea King's Palace, and so immediately struck the powerhouse with a sword.

In addition, the Ancestor of the Gu Family was also there at the same time, which forced the often haughty Sea King's Palace to forcefully seal themselves for hundreds of thousands of years.

So one should never look down on this small Peach Village here, for its real strength was even more amazing compared to some Eternal Forbidden Areas.

Having such a terrifying background, Gu Xian'er could probably freely challenge a number of Daoist Sects and Immortal Clans without fearing the consequences.

Gu Changge ended up receiving a glut of benefits from these old folks.

During a few rounds of discussion, from the old folks' perspective, they too found that Gu Changge's insights were astounding and even revolutionary, leading them to believe that those rumours of him being the Reincarnation of a True Immortal were not far from the truth.

The title of the younger generation's best was not in vain.

Gu Changge truly deserved to be Gu Xian'er's cousin, and the person who will be in charge of the Gu Family and the Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace in the future.

As long as the problem of his Innate Demonic Nature is solved, the entire Upper Realm would be Gu Changge's world in the future.

Therefore, several old folks were more than happy to pass on some tricks to Gu Changge, and there was no reason for him to refuse free food, was there?

His method of building goodwill in front of everyone played a big role.

In the beginning, they were very rude to him, and they didn't like him at all.

Yet they were so polite now, even gifting him a bunch of Fortune Values.

Gu Changge estimated that this was due to the Favoured Daughter of Heaven's mission related to Gu Xian'er that he accepted previously.

But Gu Xian'er didn't know what Gu Changge was thinking about at this moment.

Seeing him getting along with her masters, the young girl couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

She was worried that her masters would still find trouble with Gu Changge.

And on the other hand, Gu Xian'er hoped that this period of rest would last just a little bit longer.

After all, it was rare for her to see another side to Gu Changge, not to mention a softer side of him. The fact that he could get along well with the group of children in the village was surprising.

In the past, he always gave people a feeling of being aloof and overlooking everything indifferently.

— — —

[Several more days passed in the blink of an eye.]

Gu Changge's figure appeared outside the Peach Village.

All the villagers, including Gu Xian'er's masters, came to see him off.

Many of the surrounding children were even very reluctant for him to go.

This was because Gu Changge had taught them a lot in the past few days, gifting them many things, such as scriptures on cultivation, precious manuals, etc., which made the naïve kids think that this immortal big brother treated them very nicely.

And people who're good to children could never be bad people, right?

4Kshn: Never heard of Pedophiles before?

This point is usually a consensus among rural and traditional people. It was also the reason why Gu Changge could so easily gain the trust of the Peach Village villagers.

"This junior will leave first. If there is time in the future, I will visit the seniors again."

Gu Changge finally spoke up at this time.

With a faint warm smile on his face, he said goodbye to everyone, planning to leave.

There were still many things waiting for him to figure out.

It's impossible for him to stay here forever.

Gu Xian'er, on the other hand, didn't plan on leaving for the moment.

Because of Yaoyao's sake, she planned to cultivate in Peach Village for a while, where her masters could give her supplementary lessons on various aspects of cultivation.

Although she wasn't weak, she was still much weaker than many Ancient Freaks emerging recently.

From the words of the old folks, Gu Changge also understood that they should be starting to open an interesting opportunity for Gu Xian'er.

Her strength should be much improved the next time he sees her.

As for Yaoyao...

He didn't know how long it would take for her to wake up. Judging from Taoyao's words, though Yaoyao was a Dao Fruit, she was also seriously injured in that Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

It was a critical injury, and the impact was not small.

Cleaning it fully would definitely take a while.

Gu Changge naturally had nothing to say about this.

"Changge, remember to come over next time, us aunties like you very much."

"Why don't you stay for a few more days? Can't you see Xian'er's reluctance? How cruel..."

Seeing that Gu Changge was about to leave, several aunties teased him in succession, joking around, and making Gu Xian'er, who seemed a little unhappy, suddenly flushed.

Gu Changge smiled, "I promise to return."

"Look at Xian'er's reluctance; won't you stay for a few more days?" An old lady asked again with a smile, as if she didn't think it was a big deal.

Gu Xian'er jolted where she stood.

"Who is reluctant, auntie, don't talk nonsense. I only wish this stubborn guy would quickly disappear from my eyes... hmph!"

Gu Xian'er hastily denied these accusations, as if afraid of Gu Changge's misunderstanding.

"I too wish to have a bit of peace, so as to not feel like there are always flies buzzing about."

Gu Changge glanced at her pointedly.

"Gu Changge, are you saying that I'm annoying, like a fly in your ear? Then next time, you should stay further away from me!" Gu Xian'er huffed and puffed, not expecting Gu Changge to continue frustrating her even up until the moment he left.

However, Gu Changge could no longer hear her words.

At the moment his words fell, the young man turned into a beam of divine light and rose into the sky above, leaving Peach Village without so much as a backwards look.

Gu Xian'er waved her pink fist angrily at the escaping divine rainbow.

"B*****d, this guy won't even listen to me finish what I have to say!"

But soon, the expression on her little face turned a little dejected, showing reluctance.

"Xian'er, do you really have 'something' for your cousin? That can't be, right?"

"You are brother and sister..."

Seeing her gloomy expression, several aunties started teasing her again.

Gu Xian'er looked at them angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, okay? Besides, what happened to the siblings part, he's not even my actual brother."

But as soon as she said this, she felt something was wrong, and quickly changed the subject, "The weather is good today, the sun is quite dangerous..."

"I feel so refreshed now that that guy is gone!"

This scene made several of her masters laugh.

Before they all collectively sighed.

— — —

After leaving the Peach Village, Gu Changge's figure soon appeared on top of a mountain outside the Land of Abandoned Immortals.

"Master."

Several figures rose out of the earth in front of him, each one exuding a powerful aura, their expressions were kept extremely respectful and obedient.

The person in the lead was a creature called a Yaksha, with a cultivation in the realm of True God.

Among the rest, there were both male and female, alongside Beastmen and other creatures.

After the last incident inside the Ancient Immortal Continent, many Young Supremes decided to follow Gu Changge's lead as the head of the younger generation.

And Gu Changge had been ready to accept them all without hesitation. Many hands made work for all a little lighter, and he could not do everything on his own.

For example, this time, he had ordered them to pay attention to anything regarding 'that'.

The All-Devouring Sky!

They had long been ordered by Gu Changge to await further orders here.
