I'll Kill Whoever You Want to Kill — Yue Mingkong's Touch
I’ll Kill Whoever You Want to Kill — Yue Mingkong’s Touch
After returning to Skyward Schloss, Gu Changge was in no hurry to ask about the immortal treasure emerging from the depths.
He believed the Great Elder and the others would absolutely take the initiative to tell him about it.
By now, more and more major powers had arrived at Skyward Ancient City, pressuring the various Elders and the Palace Master. Even if they didn’t want to open up that region, they had no choice.
At most, within three days, Skyward Schloss would be unable to withstand the pressure and would open that region to the outside world.
And at that time, when the young prodigies of many other powers gathered here, someone would need to step forward to hold the fort.
Rely on the other Direct Disciples? Clearly impossible. Never mind that they were all in seclusion — even if they came out, they might not be able to keep things under control.
So no matter how unwilling the Elders were, they would still have to obediently come begging to Gu Changge.
As for discussing things like sect loyalty?
For the disciples of Skyward Schloss, that wasn’t realistic.
For Gu Changge, even less so.
The Elders clearly understood all this, so when the time came, it would be Gu Changge’s moment to demand an exorbitant price — no, rather, his moment to bargain.
And just as Gu Changge was pondering these matters...
Rumble rumble rumble!
Outside the mountain gate of Skyward Schloss, a black-gold carriage pulled by nine divine phoenix-like ferocious beasts was speeding toward this place.
The enormous rumbling crushed through the air, making the heavens tremble.
The group of Skyward Schloss disciples patrolling before the mountain gate saw this and their expressions changed slightly. They were about to stop it.
“Tell Gu Changge that this Palace has arrived!”
From within the carriage suddenly came a voice carrying dense imperial might, cold and clear like heavenly music, beautiful beyond compare.
Seated within was Yue Mingkong in a plain gauze dress, her immortal countenance like a painting, her hair in a spiral coiffure, so beautiful it was soul-stirring.
Her brows were like slender willow leaves, and her pair of phoenix eyes were calm, revealing depth and indifference.
Her gaze peered through the hanging curtains.
Her imperial might was awe-inspiring, like a peerless empress, making many disciples before the mountain gate feel their souls tremble, fear rising in their hearts.
“Who is this person? She dares to directly call out Gu the Direct Disciple’s name?”
“Nine phoenixes pulling her carriage — this grandeur is quite on par with Gu the Direct Disciple’s nine dragons pulling his carriage.”
Many disciples were shocked and somewhat puzzled by these words, unable to figure out who this person was.
But soon, those beside them pulled them back and quietly informed them, “That’s Gu the Direct Disciple’s fiancée, Yue Mingkong, the Fourth Princess of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty, and also the Crown Heir of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty! A figure destined to become a generation’s Unrivaled Empress!”
“Sss!”
These words immediately made many people suck in a breath of cold air, utterly horrified.
This was absolutely a heaven-blessed daughter renowned throughout the heavens of the Beyond, her methods forceful and iron-blooded, her fame long since shaking the eight directions.
No wonder she dared to directly call out Gu the Direct Disciple’s name.
“When Princess Yue Mingkong came to Skyward Schloss to see Gu the Direct Disciple before, she was never like this. What’s going on?”
“Rumor has it that this Imperial Daughter and Gu the Direct Disciple haven’t been on good terms recently. Seeing it today, perhaps it’s true!”
Many disciples thought to themselves, not daring to intercept, letting the black-gold carriage proceed into the mountain gate.
For a time, the entire Skyward Schloss was stirred. Many Elders and disciples appeared.
Even the Direct Disciples showed themselves.
Divine rainbows appeared one after another in the high sky, gazing from afar.
Now, at a time of great events, the Crown Heir of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty personally coming to Skyward Schloss left them shocked and puzzled.
Many guessed it was related to Gu Changge.
But even more guessed that Yue Mingkong had probably also come planning to take a share of the spoils.
Atop the mountain peak where the Great Elder resided, Gu Xianer was cultivating a powerful precious technique. Behind her, hazy Great Dao light emerged, runes rising and sinking one after another, mystical and resplendent.
Naturally, she also heard the commotion coming from afar. Her expression was somewhat puzzled as she looked over.
“Gu Changge’s fiancée?”
“What is she doing here?”
Although during this period she had vaguely sensed there was some hidden story behind the events of that year,
it hadn’t affected her desire for revenge against Gu Changge.
Now, the arrival of the Fourth Princess of the Unrivaled Celestial Dynasty made Gu Xianer feel somewhat uneasy.
She subconsciously assumed Yue Mingkong was on Gu Changge’s side.
That way, her quest to demand justice from Gu Changge would become even more difficult.
...
Supreme Peak, within the grand and towering palace.
Gu Changge opened his eyes, his consciousness withdrawing from the System interface.
The commotion outside the mountain gate had long since reached this place.
The black-gold carriage crushed its way across the sky, alarming every peak and island, yet no disciple or Elder dared to block it.
Gu Changge came outside the palace.
From afar, he saw a black shadow descending toward the mountain peak.
He raised an eyebrow.
With this display, Yue Mingkong looked rather murderous. Could it be that she was embarrassed into anger because he had discovered her tracks?
However, as a regressor with foreknowledge, unable to gain any advantage over him, it wasn’t strange that she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and angry.
Gu Changge speculated thus, watching as the black-gold carriage quickly landed and Yue Mingkong stepped out, her expression cold, swiftly heading toward him.
At the same time, beside Gu Changge, a ripple spread through the void.
Yan Ji appeared. She had followed Yue Mingkong all the way back.
“Did something happen?” Gu Changge glanced at her and asked.
Yan Ji nodded and replied, “Gongzi, when I found Princess Yue Mingkong, she was setting up an Inescapable Net to kill a youth whose cultivation was only at the Honoured Lord Realm...”
“But in the end, that youth still escaped. Even I couldn’t find his trail in time.”
Quickly, Yan Ji kept it brief and told Gu Changge what had happened.
“A youth at the Honoured Lord Realm, and he still escaped in the end?”
Hearing this, Gu Changge’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly.
“Yes.”
Yan Ji nodded. “That youth possessed a black jade talisman containing the full-powered strike of a Sacred Lord Realm existence, and he had many tricks up his sleeve. Princess Yue Mingkong dispatched four Sacred Realm experts at the time, thinking it foolproof, yet in the end they still failed.”
“I understand.” Hearing this, Gu Changge nodded.
Inwardly, he couldn’t help shaking his head, feeling that Yue Mingkong’s poor expression was probably because of this.
Gu Changge more or less knew that the youth should be the Fortuitous One named Ye Ling.
Fortuitous Ones were inherently hard to kill, carrying something as ethereal as Fortuity on them — especially a Fortuitous One of the Beyond.
If she had succeeded, that would have been the real problem.
Only, the fact that Yue Mingkong would actually scheme against that Fortuitous One and even plan to kill him left Gu Changge somewhat speechless, even wanting to laugh.
A Fortuitous Daughter trying to kill a Fortuitous Son, and failing in the end.
He didn’t know what to say about Yue Mingkong. With just this much ability, she still wanted to take revenge on him for her so-called past life?
Seeing her icy gaze, as if everything were his fault, Gu Changge couldn’t help but shake his head, wanting to let out a scoff.
So she couldn’t kill Ye Ling, and in the end she was blaming it on his head?
Then, with a flicker of spatial fluctuation, Yan Ji’s figure vanished.
Ordinarily, she would not easily reveal herself before outsiders.
“Mingkong, after so long apart, did you not miss your husband?”
Gu Changge let out a light chuckle, staring at the peerless immortal countenance before him.
“Gu Changge, in front of me, you can drop the act. You summoned me here — what is it?”
Yue Mingkong was unmoved, looking at him coldly as she asked.
Naturally, she had seen Yan Ji suddenly appear just now, and a wave of sourness couldn’t help but rise in her heart.
Yet her face remained cold as ice slag.
Gu Changge shook his head and very naturally wrapped an arm around her waist, ignoring her struggles. “You still haven’t answered your husband’s first question.”
“Why would I miss a heartless man? Keep dreaming.”
Yue Mingkong said coldly.
After all, she had already torn off all pretenses with Gu Changge back at the Gu Family.
So she simply couldn’t be bothered to keep up appearances about many things.
In her view, everything Gu Changge did carried strong ulterior motives...
Whether it was the words he spoke or the actions he took, none of it was sincere.
Who knew what he was scheming now?
“Saying that really hurts your husband’s feelings. You came to Boundless Heaven, yet didn’t come see me. Do you really not want to see me that much?”
Hearing this, Gu Changge shook his head, appearing somewhat regretful and saddened.
“Not one bit.” Yue Mingkong’s face was expressionless, completely unmoved.
“But I missed you very much. The moment I learned you’d come to Boundless Heaven, I couldn’t wait to see you.” Gu Changge smiled.
Yue Mingkong rolled her eyes.
The gesture looked somewhat adorably silly, though her expression was extremely cold — the combination gave her a rather unique charm.
If what Gu Changge said were true, she would naturally be very happy, but clearly he was just paying lip service.
Naturally, not a single ripple stirred in Yue Mingkong’s heart.
“So this is your reason for having that woman capture me and bring me here?”
Then, Yue Mingkong asked coldly.
At the mention of that woman, a wave of jealousy rose in her heart, as if a jar of vinegar had been knocked over.
Although she knew Gu Changge didn’t like her,
seeing other women by Gu Changge’s side still made her heart unbearably sour.
At the same time, Yue Mingkong was very puzzled.
In her past life, there had clearly never been any women around Gu Changge. What on earth was going on in this life? So many things she had never anticipated had happened.
“What do you mean, ’capture’? Mingkong, your misunderstanding of your husband runs quite deep.”
“Besides, why is there such a strong sour smell in the air?”
Gu Changge smiled with perfect composure and, quite rarely, offered an explanation. “Yan Ji is a powerhouse I brought up from the Overworld. She counts as my follower. What, are you actually jealous of her too?”
Hearing this, Yue Mingkong’s expression eased considerably, though she still didn’t give him a pleasant look. “Gu Changge, you think too highly of yourself.”
After all, it was truly rare — Gu Changge had actually taken the initiative to explain this to her, which surprised her somewhat.
“Speak. What exactly do you want with me?”
Then, she asked directly, refusing to believe Gu Changge would seek her out for no reason.
Gu Changge said with perfect composure, “I said I missed you and you don’t believe me. What can I do?”
“No matter how sweet your words, I won’t believe them...” Hearing this, Yue Mingkong just wanted to roll her eyes.
How had she never known in her past life that Gu Changge had such a shameless side?
At this point, Gu Changge also put away his teasing and flirtatious mood, and instead said with a faint smile, “I heard from Yan Ji that you tried to kill a man at the Honoured Lord Realm, and failed. What’s that about?”
“How did he offend you? Tell your husband, and your husband will kill him for you, to vent your anger.”
Of course, he knew full well that Yue Mingkong was certainly plotting to seize that Fortuitous One’s opportunities.
This sort of thing also greatly interested Gu Changge.
He planned to indirectly pry some information out of Yue Mingkong.
Hearing Gu Changge’s words, Yue Mingkong was slightly stunned. At this point in time, Gu Changge shouldn’t know of Ye Ling’s existence.
So, him saying he would kill Ye Ling to vent her anger — was it because he thought Ye Ling had offended her?
For some reason, Yue Mingkong’s heart was touched.
Someone as selfish and cold as Gu Changge would actually care about her affairs?
“You’re not even going to ask about the reason? Regardless of right or wrong, you’ll just kill him?” She rolled her eyes slightly.
Gu Changge smiled. “What’s there to care about? If you want to kill him, then I’ll help you kill him.”
Hearing this, Yue Mingkong couldn’t help but catch her breath.
As expected of Gu Changge, casually uttering such murderous words.
Not caring who was right or wrong.
Whoever she wanted to kill, he would kill?
That was indeed his character.
Yue Mingkong’s phoenix eyes fixed unblinkingly on Gu Changge, and waves of indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in her heart.
So he didn’t actually not care about her...
