Chapter 19: Had He Been Cultivating In Secret?

"Look at you all. Together, you've lived for millions of years, yet you're still so unreliable. Qingxiao is so young, and you're treating him like this. When he was just born, you even stole him away. I know you did it for my sake, as my constitution was weak and not suitable for raising Qingxiao."

"But look at how you've wronged Qingxiao!"

"If you teach Qingxiao bad things again, I'll take him back to my family. This is infuriating. He's still a child, and you're asking him to have children. Why don't you have them yourselves?"

The old ancestors all turned red with embarrassment.

Yun Shu left in anger.

"This is too much. I am still an ancestor of the Gu family. She doesn't 't even leave me any face, and that brat might even complain."

Soon after, the four ancestors left together.

When they arrived at the Relaxation Hall, someone was already waiting there.

"Junze, you should also talk to your wife. Look at what she's done to us!"

"Yes, yes. Even I feel wronged!"

"Back then, Qingxiao's constitution was so powerful that he almost couldn't be born. Yun Shu sacrificed her own essence, wanting to sacrifice her life to protect Qingxiao."

"Fortunately, Qingxiao was born safely, and Yun Shu then stopped. Over the years, her essence has slowly recovered. Please forgive us, ancestors."

Upon hearing Gu Junze's words, the ancestors fell silent. To them, Yun Shu was a great benefactor of the Gu family. Even if she scolded them, they wouldn't lose their temper. At most, they'd just complain to Gu Junze a little.

"Come, ancestors, let's drink."

Gu Junze, used to this, watched the ancestors with a secret smile. These ancestors were always unruly, but every time they encountered Yun Shu, they'd get a taste of their own medicine.

"I've prepared a few dishes for you. It's been a long time since I cooked, so I'm not sure how they taste."

At this moment, Yun Shu also came in with two plates of food.

The ancestors were momentarily at a loss.

"Thank you, ancestors."

Yun Shu thanked them as she looked at the ancestors.

The ancestors laughed.

Yun Shu knew that the reason the ancestors took Gu Qingxiao away was to replenish his essence. No one expected Qingxiao to have such an extraordinary constitution. Because of her own essence deficiency, she had to sacrifice her life to complete Qingxiao's essence.

The ancestors' efforts to take Qingxiao away were to supplement his essence. Yun Shu knew that the ancestors had gone through a lot for Qingxiao, which was why, in just over a decade, four ancestors had revived.

"Ah, we old men just like to make a fuss now and then. Heheh."

The Sixteenth Ancestor also felt a bit embarrassed and said this.

"Damn, that brat has left. I need to check it out."

After saying this, the Sixteenth Ancestor exclaimed, then used his power to take away the two dishes Yun Shu had made, leaving the others bewildered.

When the Sixteenth Ancestor had left, the others finally reacted.

"Ancestors, no need to chase him."

After saying this, Yun Shu's eyes flashed, and then several more plates of dishes appeared.

The ancestors laughed heartily.

At this time, Gu Qingxiao had already left.

Taotie, standing beside, remained silent but looked excited. It seemed that the Divine Son was very satisfied with his actions, otherwise, he wouldn't have brought him along.

He had been cooped up in the ancestral tomb for too long, and was nearly going crazy.

Taotie recalled his previous free life. He had lived in a forbidden zone, always in slumber.

But one day, the forbidden zone was breached by some people, and he was awakened, followed by a surge of anger.

"After some friendly exchanges with those people, he was packed up and taken away, and his cave's resources were completely looted."

Previously, his cave had a stone whose function he didn't know. However, when those people looked at the stone, their eyes revealed excitement.

Later, he learned that it was a Divine Demon Stone.

If it had known, it would have swallowed it long ago. But it was also fortunate it didn't, because those guys said, "If you swallow it, we'll kill you."

"I'll give you a chance: become the guardian of my Gu family's Divine Son. I hope you don't take this for granted."

At that moment, it felt humiliated, but after discovering that Gu Qingxiao was a Divine Demon Body, it agreed immediately.

The others were momentarily stunned.

What kind of beast was it? Taotie was incredibly intelligent.I couldn't beat you anyway, and since I would eventually have to agree, I might as well agree directly.

From then on, it became Taotie.

However, as it accompanied Gu Qingxiao's growth, this little brat seemed a bit dim-witted. He compared with those old fellows to see who could pee farther, and it, out of curiosity, joined in, only to find they wouldn't let it play anymore.

To this day, Taotie still couldn't figure it out.

Didn't we agree to play together?

Taotie stood by, watching Gu Qingxiao meditate with closed eyes, not saying a word.

"How is your injury?"

At that moment, Gu Qingxiao looked at Taotie and asked.

"I've recovered a bit, but it's nothing serious now."

Gu Qingxiao's gaze shifted, and a panel appeared before him.

Master: Gu Qingxiao

Identity: Divine Son of the Gu family in the Xiaoyao domain of the Taicang realm, destined villain

Physique: Chaos Divine Demon Body, Destiny Villain's Eye (merging three time fragments, controlling a trace of time's power)

Skills: Chaos Divine Demon Technique, Heaven and Earth Xiaoyao Sutra

Aura: Destiny Villain Halo (isolation from the probing of the Heavenly Path)

Strength: Early Marquis

Luck Child Kill Line: 10,000

Villain Value: 150,000

Backpack: None

Gu Qingxiao looked at his panel. After killing two luck children, the luck of a luck child only needed to be below ten thousand for him to kill at will.

His villain value had already accumulated to one hundred thousand.

Then, Gu Qingxiao used the villain value to enhance his strength, and a powerful aura surged forth, bringing his strength to the Mid Marquis.

Taotie, standing nearby, widened his eyes in shock.

"Damn, I knew you were hiding your strength! The Divine Demon Body couldn't possibly have been this weak. You've already reached the Marquis realm—when did you break through?"

At this moment, the Sixteenth Ancestor in the shadows gaped, sensing the fleeting aura from Gu Qingxiao.

Then, a transmission was sent out.

In the ancestral tomb of the Gu family, terrifying auras began to emerge one after another.

Then, spiritual consciousness began to communicate.

"Qingxiao has already broken through to the Mid Marquis stage."

"When did he break through? Why didn't we sense it before?"

"What on earth did this kid do? After slacking off for two years, could it be that he's been fooling us and secretly cultivating?"
