The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

"When do you plan to return to the Origin Continent?" Chu Yao asked.

"I won't go back for now."

There's nothing to do back on the Origin Continent anyway, and besides, his woman and daughter are by his side; isn't home wherever he is?

Gu Qing still wanted to wait for Zhi Meng to return.

"You still say you don't want to wander the world with a vixen? Which woman is it?" Xiao Hongdou said angrily.

"Husband, stop pretending. We're not blind. You and your master are not innocent at all," Chu Yao said quietly. She had long suspected this.

"Nonsense! My master and I are completely innocent. Don't slander me out of thin air." Gu Qing refused to admit it.

Chu Yao and Xiao Hongdou exchanged a glance, and Chu Yao suddenly covered her mouth and giggled: "I understand, you've taken a liking to Zhi Meng, but Zhi Meng doesn't like you. It seems that my husband isn't good enough."

"Come on!"

Xiao Hongdou kissed him on the cheek and said with a smile, "Senior brother, do you need my advice? I guarantee you'll get what you want."

"That's not true. Don't let your imaginations run wild and make wild guesses," Gu Qing denied without hesitation.

"Humph!"

"Still pretending?"

"What's there to pretend?"

"Tell me, who doesn't know you're a greedy and lustful traitor?"

"Senior brother, we've known for a long time that you covet Master."

"She is my master and my sister-in-law, but we have no other relationship." No matter how the two tried to probe, Gu Qing remained unfazed.

"Where is Master?" Lin Chuqing asked weakly, her face burning red. She hid by the bedside, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling.

"She is in seclusion in the Hongmeng Creation Tower space. Go in and find her."

Gu Qing simply took all three of them into the Hongmeng Creation Tower space, branded them, and allowed them to freely enter and exit the Hongmeng Creation Tower.

Gu Qing put away the Golden Lotus of the Great Dao, put on a black and gold battle armor and Daoist robe, and looked heroic and exuded a noble and mysterious aura.

"Bad seed..."

"..."

Gu Qing, who had just stepped out of the cave, paused and looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden with a puzzled expression.

"Sister-in-law, did your brother-in-law do anything to you?"

Gu Qing stepped into the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's cave and asked with a smile.

When the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden saw Gu Qing suddenly appear, she was so nervous that she subconsciously squeezed her legs together, her expression panicked.

He never expected that Gu Qing could sense his muttering curse in the cave.

"Sister-in-law?"

Gu Qing approached her, looking down at her, intending to intimidate her and tease her serene sister-in-law.

After all, his strength far surpasses that of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, so there's no need for him to be afraid of her anymore.

I never expected the benefits to come so suddenly; the bottom of the lotus petal-patterned corset was completely hidden.

"Humph!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden forced herself to remain calm, snorted, and angrily said, "Where did I say something wrong? You're a wicked seed." How dare you blaspheme Sister Yu Xi.

"Just say so."

Gu Qing took a step back, shifted her gaze, and said thoughtfully, "Why is there a problem with your state of mind again?"

"Do you need me to use the Golden Lotus of the Great Dao to cleanse your mind of all distractions?"

He didn't understand how the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, a pure and desireless innate deity, could be so easily swayed by Yan Hongluo's words.

"No need." For some reason, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was unwilling to forget that mortifying memory and replied without hesitation.

"This...do you need me to help you temper your mind?"

Gu Qing felt very guilty that he had broken the Dao heart of a female cultivator who had been cultivating for many years. If he could help her, he would, since she was his sister-in-law.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked Gu Qing up and down, pursed her red lips, pondered for a long time, and then hesitated before asking, "How do you plan to help me?"

"Why don't you stay by my side from now on? Maybe one day you'll find peace."

Gu Qing was also at a loss. The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden herself couldn't get over her own mental hurdle, and he, as an outsider, couldn't help her.

The only option is to use the simplest method and let the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden adapt on her own.

"If I don't resolve this inner conflict, won't I have to follow you around forever?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden glared at him. Her tranquil Dao heart, which she had cultivated for countless years, was shattered just like that. She felt wronged and frustrated.

It's all Yan Hongluo's fault for being so alluring and shameless, daring to say anything she wants.

This had nothing to do with her.

But unfortunately, the Star Mother became Gu Qing's Daoist partner, so much so that whenever she closed her eyes, images of the Star Mother being bullied would involuntarily appear in her mind.

"This won't work, that won't work, what do you suggest we do?"

Gu Qing plopped down next to her, looking somewhat resigned.

"You unfilial disciple, are you bullying Xuan-mei?"

The Holy Mother of Stars refined the power of the Great Dao. As soon as she emerged from seclusion, she saw the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden biting her lip in grievance, and her heart ached terribly.

"Sister Yu Xi..."

Seeing her support, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden felt even more wronged. Her clear eyes glistened with tears, and she pursed her lips, on the verge of crying. Her pitiful appearance was so endearing that one wanted to hold her in their arms, comfort her, and then tease and destroy her...

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden leaned on her shoulder without saying a word, tears of grievance falling in a steady stream.

Gu Qing was immediately at a loss, unable to understand why a seasoned female cultivator like the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden would cry. She was deeply shocked.

The Holy Mother of Stars paused for a moment, and instead of offering comfort, she gave Gu Qing a deep look.

Gu Qing: "..."

He really didn't do anything.

"Speak, you traitorous disciple, how exactly did you bully Xuan-mei?" the Star Mother transmitted her voice.

When the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden first experienced a problem with her mental state, she suspected it was related to Gu Qing. Now, she is 100% certain.

She knew the nature of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden all too well.

Gu Qing must have done something heinous to cause the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's mental state to break down.

"Master, believe me. I didn't do anything... Okay, she overheard my lewd talk with Yan Hongluo." Gu Qing met her gaze and replied truthfully.

"...Shameless, vulgar."

The Holy Mother of Stars was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed red, and she cursed under her breath as she felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her buttocks.

No... the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden wouldn't think that she also...

Upon realizing this, the Star Mother panicked and felt an urge to kill the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and destroy the world.

"Stay calm, stay calm!" The Holy Mother of Stars silently chanted the calming mantra. Looking down at the pitiful expression of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, her eyes immediately changed.

The Holy Mother of Stars' expression kept changing, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"enemy."

"Husband!"

Hongluan, Yaoyao, and Yan Hongluo returned together, calling out to Gu Qing in a low voice.

Upon sensing the presence of the three people, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden immediately stopped crying, shuddered in fright, and instinctively clenched her legs together.

She quickly tidied her appearance, sat upright, and exuded a serene and elegant aura.

Gu Qing: "..."

Gu Qing hadn't expected that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was such a drama queen, so fickle.

"Why aren't you going to send them away?" urged the Star Mother.

"Oh!"

Gu Qing transmitted a message to the three of them, and then stored it in the Primordial Creation Tower.

The Star Mother took a deep breath, as if making a firm decision, and transmitted her voice, "You take care of her for me."
