Chapter 148: My Foolish Stinky Girl is Coming
In the Seclusion Immortal Palace, Luo Rou had three essential daily tasks: curse Zhi Meng out of boredom, curse Zhi Meng when in a bad mood, and curse Zhi Meng when in a good mood.
But today, she could not utter a single curse.
She looked at the projection before her with an agitated expression.
"It's Big Brother Lin..."
Although she did not know why Lin Xuan had resurrected, the person in the image was indeed Lin Xuan.
He looked exactly the same, and even his mannerisms and bearing were identical.
Luo Rou stared blankly at the phantom image, her beautiful eyes showing a look of nostalgia.
After a long time, she slowly shook her head. Just as she was about to put away the shadow image, she heard Lin Chuqing's voice.
"Master, what is wrong?"
Lin Chuqing walked over with light steps. Seeing her gazing absentmindedly at the projection—excited one moment, regretful and relieved the next—she asked out of curiosity.
"Oh, I'm fine!"
Luo Rou hastily put away the image, forcing a smile, and asked, "You're back. How is the Lin family?"
"They perished..." The Lin family had long since fallen apart. Her cheap father and cheap younger brother had long been dead, and their remains could not even be found.
For the father and son to meet this end was outside her expectations, yet reasonable.
Lin Chen was too prone to stirring up trouble. His heart was higher than the sky, but his ability was small and his temper was large. It was not surprising that someone beat him to death.
"Qing'er, Lin Chen was arrogant and unruly. The end the father and son met was entirely self-inflicted. Besides, you are not of the Lin family bloodline, so do not let this matter affect your state of mind..."
Seeing the sorrowful expression of her beloved disciple, Luo Rou's face changed. She immediately cast Lin Xuan to the back of her mind and gently consoled Lin Chuqing.
Although Lin Xuan was someone she had truly loved, that was ages ago.
If not for Zhi Meng's maliciousness, which compelled her to curse her every day, she would have already forgotten Lin Xuan.
"Master, I'm fine." Lin Chuqing gently shook her head. She had done what she could. Although there was sadness in her heart, she had a clear conscience.
"It is good that you can think like this." Luo Rou breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid her beloved disciple would fall into self-reproach.
Although Lin Chuqing's nature was cold, she was both heartless and extremely sentimental, with a firm and persistent inner core.
Once she fell into self-reproach, it could plague her for life.
"Master, what exactly is wrong? Who is the man in the projection?" Lin Chuqing looked her in the eye and asked seriously.
"He..."
Luo Rou paused, her eyes shifting. "Just an unimportant old acquaintance."
"Really?" Lin Chuqing did not believe her.
"Really!" Luo Rou nodded with a resolute and serious expression.
She truly already considered Lin Xuan an old acquaintance.
Because she likewise did not have the habit of acknowledging a 'big brother,' nor would she humble herself and remain obsessed with Lin Xuan after their engagement was broken.
Her pride did not allow her to do so.
The reason she cursed Zhi Meng was not because of Lin Xuan, but because she could not stand Zhi Meng's maliciousness.
Later, it simply became a habit.
She and Zhi Meng were irreconcilably opposed.
On the other side, Zhi Meng, who had not received a reply for a long time, frowned in thought: "That shouldn't be. How could that stinky girl be unmoved? Could she think I'm lying to her again? Hmm, it's possible."
"Since that's the case, I will send that stinky girl one more message."
Thinking of it, Zhi Meng acted: "Stinky girl, Lin Xuan has five disciples, and two have already been taken out by my disciple, Gu Qing. Tsk, they died so miserably, body and soul destroyed."
"It's a pity I didn't record it at the time, or I would definitely send it to you to see how your sweetheart raged impotently, and how his disciples knelt and pleaded, ultimately dying in unwilling anguish..."
Luo Rou received the message and was so infuriated that she flew into a rage. Unable to endure it even a little, she took her beloved disciple and aggressively headed towards the Star Temple.
"She's here. My foolish stinky girl is here..."
Zhi Meng put away the transmission jade, her vividly colored red lips slightly curved. Her pleasure was evident.
Seeing this, Luo Li bowed and pleaded guilty: "Disciple disturbed Master's closed-door cultivation uninvited. I ask Master to punish me."
"No harm done. You did very well." Zhi Meng glanced at the submissive Luo Li, finding her much more pleasing to the eye.
If not for Luo Li's message, she still would not have known that Lin Xuan had resurrected.
Of course, she was not a fool.
After a little thought, she understood Gu Qing's intention.
She and Jiang Yu were mortal enemies. If she appeared, Jiang Yu definitely would not interfere.
However, Gu Qing was clearly her disciple, yet when he encountered danger, he did not seek her out but instead sought Jiang Yu. This made her feel somewhat displeased.
Even if Gu Qing wanted to scheme against Jiang Yu, he should have discussed it with her.
Gu Qing, on the other hand, shouldered everything himself. If she hadn't come out of seclusion, Lin Xuan might have been completely played to death.
Thinking this, Zhi Meng let out a soft laugh, her tone carrying a sense of smugness: "Alas, having a disciple who is too filial is not always a good thing."
Hearing this, Luo Li pursed her lips, feeling lost. Zhi Meng's words were all about Gu Qing. Why could she not see her efforts?
Why could she not spare her a little affection?
Luo Li debated for a moment, then stopped overthinking it.
Complaining and blaming others was not in her nature.
If I get it, it is my good fortune; if I lose it, it is my destiny.
It would be nice if Zhi Meng treated her sincerely, but it was fine if she ignored her. Relying on herself was better than relying on others.
Without Zhi Meng's help, she could still become a strong expert.
"Go back and cultivate in seclusion for a while. Don't rush to break through yet. I want you to kill Lin Xuan's fifth disciple."
Zhi Meng tossed out ten thousand wisps of Primordial Yellow Mother Qi, her flat tone imbued with a sense that failure was not an option.
She wanted to let that stinky girl watch with her own eyes as her disciple executed Lin Xuan's disciple, while Lin Xuan could only stand by and rage impotently.
When that happens, that stinky girl will surely be so anxious she'll cry, right? Tsk, that little crybaby.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward. Your disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations."
Luo Li was ecstatic. The Primordial Yellow Mother Qi was actually Primordial Yellow Mother Qi containing innate Dao Rhymes.
Zhi Meng had given her ten thousand wisps at once.
Luo Li silently swore in her heart that she would take down Shi Xuan at all costs.
"Hoo!" Wang Fan and the others were breathing heavily, their hearts immensely desirous of obtaining the Primordial Yellow Mother Qi.
They knew very well the miraculous uses of the Primordial Yellow Mother Qi.
This was the very origin of heaven and earth. If they were given these ten thousand wisps, they could absolutely undergo a complete transformation of their physique, elevating their constitution and their divine soul's comprehension.
This was an immense fortune. Unfortunately, they could only stand by and watch.
They did not even dare to look at it too closely.
Wang Fan finally understood why the domineering and cold-blooded Luo Li was so submissive to Zhi Meng.
With such a generous and imposing Master, let alone being submissive, Zhi Meng could make him carry her on his back while walking.
Inside the Ruyi Space.
Gu Qing examined his inner self. Every wisp of vital energy was like a true dragon, containing terrifying might and emitting strands of immortal innate divinity.
Three thousand acupuncture points were like a Sword Domain, permeated by chaotic Sword Qi, nurturing an peerless divine weapon.
The Dao Bone, meanwhile, seemed to be the source of the Great Dao itself, its aura profound and mysterious, revealing the Laws of Yin-Yang Great Dao and the Laws of Space.
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and called up the system panel.
[Name] Gu Qing.

Gu Qing looked at it for a while, his face beaming with joy.
This time's seclusion cultivation had gone too smoothly. He successfully nurtured the Laws of Space, awakened the Spatial Divine Technique, and concurrently allowed his Spatial Shift to instantly step into the Great Attainment stage.
Gu Qing could now tear space at will, manipulate space, and use space to blast and kill powerful enemies. This was like an innate skill, known since birth.
"I have so many innate treasures. When I have time, I should extract their divinity, which might allow me to nurture their respective Laws and Divine Abilities."
Gu Qing felt that this was the correct way to use innate treasures.
Using innate treasures to kill enemies was too much of a waste; using them to extract the innate Laws and Dao Rhymes contained within was the proper path.
After all, no matter how good treasures are, they are external objects.
Only when one is strong themselves is that true power.
"Gu Qing..."
Bai Suying flashed in front of Gu Qing. "Little scoundrel, you were too impulsive. You dared to massacre even the Pill Peak. What if Fu Youcai had a Divine Fire Realm Ancestor backing him? You are not allowed to be so reckless in the future."
A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Gu Qing's talent was peerless, so he did not have to be so aggressive in his actions.
"Mm, I'll listen to you."
Gu Qing wrapped his arms around her soft waist, settling her on his lap. Her voluptuous, delicate body was fragrant and soft, making one wish to rub her into their own.
However, the dignified and luxurious Bai Suying seemed to have hyperactivity today, shifting her backside and restlessly moving her hands and feet.
"Little temptress, just say what you mean. You don't have to act like this, though I certainly appreciate it."
Gu Qing pinched her rounded chin, a playful smile on his face. Having 'interacted' with Bai Suying so many times, he was extremely clear about all of her tricks and the depth of her schemes.
Normally, she was very reserved and dignified; she would never be as provocative as she was now.
Bai Suying definitely had an agenda.
"Who are you calling a little temptress?" Bai Suying was indignant. She was a dignified and luxurious Empress, noble and transcendent. How could she be compared to those alluring little temptresses?
Angry, she obviously didn't realize how captivating she was at this moment, unknowingly seductive.
Her exquisitely flawless oval face seemed to hold both resentment and anger, her fair, snowy skin was flushed with pink, glowing with a captivating luster.
A pair of clear, bright beautiful eyes contained thousands of charms, enchanting and soul-stealing.
"You won't tell me? Later, you'll be crying and begging me to tell you..."
As Gu Qing's voice fell, strange noises echoed throughout the vast and boundless world, with weeping sounds like sorrowful complaints.
In the end, it concluded with Bai Suying revealing everything.
Gu Qing took her to find Luo Li.
This female villain truly did not disappoint him. Even without his intervention, she managed to put Lin Xuan in a miserable state.
Next, it was time to send Lin Xuan and his disciple on their way.
If this hidden danger was not eliminated, Gu Qing could not cultivate in seclusion with peace of mind.
