No Regard for Face, Information on the Ancient Sky Domain
No Regard for Face, Information on the Ancient Sky Domain
Seeing Gu Changge’s cold expression, somewhat displeased, even showing signs of dismissing his guests.
Ye Liuli’s expression couldn’t help but freeze.
However, she also knew that she had indeed gone too far. Whatever Gu Changge did, did he need to report it to her?
He had already made it clear that he had not struck to kill Ye Chen. After thinking it over, Ye Liuli found nothing wrong with those words.
The main issue was that the gap in strength between Gu Changge and Ye Chen was simply too vast—one in the heavens, one on the earth.
If Gu Changge truly wanted to kill Ye Chen, there was no way Ye Chen could have survived.
After figuring all this out, a trace of apology toward Gu Changge inexplicably sprouted in Ye Liuli’s heart.
She was not someone who couldn’t tell good from bad.
Today she had inexplicably barged in demanding justice from Gu Changge. Thinking about it now, she had even been somewhat unreasonable.
Gu Changge’s attitude and approach in making her apologize were also within reason.
The one at fault was her.
“What happened today was Liuli being rash and offensive. Thank you, Gu gongzi, for explaining all this.” Ye Liuli regained her composure and said to Gu Changge.
“Done talking? Then you can leave.”
Hearing this, Gu Changge didn’t seem surprised at all, still maintaining his indifferent attitude.
This made Ye Liuli’s delicate brows furrow, feeling somewhat deflated.
Never before had she experienced something as humiliating as today, let alone being driven away.
Today she had repeatedly hit a wall in front of a man.
This left her deeply unwilling and unconvinced.
Of course, with the pride in her heart, Ye Liuli didn’t say anything more. She turned around and prepared to leave.
“Gu gongzi, I think you young people could interact more with each other. After all, everyone is from the Beyond. To be able to meet in this remote Overworld could be considered fate...”
Xue Yi, seeing this, spoke somewhat ingratiatingly, feeling that this was a good opportunity to build relations with Gu Changge that shouldn’t be missed.
“No need. I’m not interested in her.”
However, Gu Changge’s answer was simple, directly causing Xue Yi’s fawning expression to freeze.
How could he not know what this beautiful middle-aged woman was scheming?
But he simply didn’t care.
Ye Liuli’s face and such were not his concern, and there was even less need to farm her favorability.
“This...”
Hearing this answer, Xue Yi’s expression immediately became somewhat awkward, and she couldn’t help but smile sheepishly.
She also knew that her xiaojie’s behavior today had indeed been somewhat inappropriate, a bit embarrassing.
But to say it so bluntly... was somewhat disregarding her xiaojie’s face.
Ye Liuli, who had already turned around, heard these words and her footsteps halted, her body trembling.
What did he mean by “not interested in her”?
She felt that at this moment, all her face had been thrown away by Xue Yi.
Ye Liuli instantly felt humiliated, her silver teeth clenched tight.
“Xiaojie, I’m sorry, I...” Xue Yi couldn’t help but feel guilty, also knowing that these words had instantly made it impossible for her xiaojie to save face.
Ye Liuli ignored her, her expression ice-cold. Without a word, without looking back, she walked straight away.
She was afraid that if she stayed, she wouldn’t be able to hold back her impulse again.
Because since childhood, there had never been anyone like Gu Changge who had made her suffer humiliation again and again.
The trace of apology she had felt toward Gu Changge instantly vanished into thin air.
This man was simply an out-and-out great villain!
Staying here would only be asking for trouble.
...
<*Ding!* Ye Liuli’s faith in Ye Chen has wavered. Ye Chen loses 100 Fortuity Points. Fatums +500.>
After Ye Liuli and the others left.
The System’s notification sounded in Gu Changge’s mind.
His expression was somewhat amused. Just as he had expected, a little girl like Ye Liuli wasn’t actually stupid.
Sometimes, he only needed to point out a little, and she could follow the thread and imagine a great deal.
As for Ye Liuli coming to hate him.
Gu Changge didn’t care at all. Sooner or later, he would make his move on Ye Liuli anyway.
As the saying went, imagination was the deadliest thing.
And so, she instead began to suspect whether Ye Chen had truly done some evil deeds.
After all, in her impression, Ye Chen was supposed to be that honest, kind, and persevering youth.
And a large portion of Ye Chen’s Fortuity came from having such a cousin with a terrifying background.
During this period, Ye Chen should have obtained quite a few fortuitous encounters, and his Fortuity Points should have risen.
Gu Changge was simply waiting for the moment of harvest.
“Status Screen.”
Then, Gu Changge called out in his heart.
Data immediately appeared before his eyes.
Master: Gu Changge.
Aura: Fated Villain.
Identity: True Disciple of Skyward Schloss.
Physique & Bloodline: Demonic Heart, Daoist Bone.
Cultivation: Late Honoured Lord Realm.
Spells & Techniques: Skyward Ascension (Level 7, 75% progress), Demonization (Innate Talent), Nature God’s Chant (Innate Talent), Immortal-Devouring Demonic Art...
Fatums: 2,000.
Fortuity Points: 480 (Black).
System Shop: Opened.
Storage: Domain-Shattering Talisman ×1, One-third Fragment of the World Seed ×2, Fortuity Plundering Talisman ×3, System Reward Crit Talisman ×1.
Apart from the 3,000 Fatums consumed to advance to the Late Honoured Lord Realm.
He had now gained another 500 Fatums, bringing the total to 2,000.
During this period, his Fortuity Points had been slowly growing. Even without plundering, they had risen by nearly thirty points.
Gu Changge knew this was because of Su Qingge and Lin Qiuhan. Both of them bore great Fortuity, and especially during this time, Lin Qiuhan’s terrifying alchemy talent had manifested, causing her Fortuity to grow.
This, in turn, had also caused Gu Changge’s own Fortuity Points to increase considerably.
Afterward, Gu Changge began to consider the matter of Ye Chen.
Now that Ye Liuli had descended the mountain, according to the standard tropes and plot, the next step should be her uniting and joining forces with Ye Chen.
However, it seemed that Ye Liuli didn’t know where exactly Ye Chen was hiding.
But once today’s news spread, she would presumably find Ye Chen very quickly.
As long as Ye Chen wasn’t stupid, he would want to cling tightly to Ye Liuli’s thigh at a time like this.
So he would show himself of his own accord.
“Based on the means I left on Ye Chen’s beautiful shifu, I can clearly sense his exact current location...”
“Not far from the Central Sky Domain, at the Crossroad of Eight Domains.”
Gu Changge’s eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly, revealing a trace of unusual light.
“And if my guess is correct, the Ancient Sky Domain should be opening soon. After all, that is the true purpose of my descent to this world. The Eight Barren Demon Halberd—I must obtain it.”
Gu Changge recalled this information in his mind.
The Ancient Sky Domain—legend had it that this was a secret realm created by an ancient Perfect Prodigy to seal away the world-shaking murderous weapon, the Eight Barren Demon Halberd.
The Eight Barren Demon Halberd had deep ties to the Demonic Arts that Gu Changge currently cultivated.
Gu Changge would naturally find a way to obtain it.
As for how terrifying the Eight Barren Demon Halberd’s murderous might was, there was no need to elaborate.
A Perfect Prodigy had sacrificed his own life and transformed his body just to barely seal away its ferocity, preventing it from bringing calamity upon all living beings under heaven.
According to the standard tropes, naturally it would be Ye Chen who obtained the inheritance of the Perfect Prodigy Tianyuan.
In the process, he would use it to reinforce the seal on the restlessly stirring Eight Barren Demon Halberd, preventing a terrifying catastrophe about to befall the lands of Middle State, saving all living beings—and, on top of that, winning the beauty’s hand.
How dangerous a secret realm created by a Perfect Prodigy would be went without saying.
In the Beyond, cultivators granted the title of “Zun” were at least ancestor-level figures of Supreme Dao Lineages—beings who served as the very foundation of their factions, with lifespans reaching a million years or even longer.
If one wasn’t careful, dying within the Ancient Sky Domain was a very real possibility.
