Chapter 6 What Does She Really Want from You?

"Soul-Shaping Pill!?"

Gu Sanfeng, hearing these words, couldn't care about anything else, and took the jade bottle before opening the lid with spiritual energy.

As soon as a whiff of the elixir fragrance overflowed, he quickly used his spiritual power to seal the jade bottle tightly again.

By merely sniffing a hint of the elixir fragrance, he knew that this was at least a Heavenly Rank Elixir!

"Heavenly Rank Elixir, it should be right..."

"Where on earth did you get this from, you rascal?"

Gu Sanfeng was somewhat taken aback. For many years, he had been saving spirit stones to help this little rascal get a Soul-Shaping Pill so he could embark on the path of cultivation. Even if he could only cultivate to the first three realms, remaining at the Qi Sea Realm, it was still better than being a mortal for the rest of his life!

"Liu Qingqing brought it..." Gu Changge spread his hands, speaking very calmly.

If it had been before, receiving this Soul-Shaping Pill would certainly have excited him, but now that the Golden Finger had arrived, this Soul-Shaping Pill wasn't really a surprise to him anymore.

"You stole her Soul-Shaping Pill!?"

"This is not going to be easy to deal with... There are two Heavenly Gate Realm Elders from the Heavenly Cold Sect this time. It won't be easy to silence them."

"Wait here, I will go and talk to the Family Head right away to see how we can keep everyone from the Heavenly Cold Sect here, and if we can't..."

Gu Sanfeng's pupils shrank as he thought to himself that his nephew sure had guts. He hadn't seemed that way usually!

"..." Gu Changge's mouth twitched. What the heck was this all about?

What do you mean I stole someone else's Soul-Shaping Pill?

"Liu Qingqing gave it to me... to repay a favor from the past, but if you want to consider it a dowry, you can do that too."

"Bullshit! Do you think I'm a fool?"

"A Heavenly Rank Elixir, even the Liu Family would not be able to provide it easily. Though the Heavenly Cold Sect might be slightly more profound than the Gu Family, they couldn't produce many either. Clearly, she prepared this for herself to fight for the title of Sect Saintess!"

"I will keep the elixir safe for you; it's not safe with you."

Saying this, Gu Sanfeng began to tuck it into his chest, but he was stopped.

After a good deal of explanation and reassurance from Gu Changge, he finally believed that Liu Qingqing had indeed given the Soul-Shaping Pill voluntarily.

"No, what on earth does she see in you? To express her gratitude, a Soul-Shaping Pill should have been enough; why would she have to marry you?"

"I think she's into my good looks."

"..."

"Never mind, not important. These next few days, I'll prepare some stuff for you to help you refine the Soul-Shaping Pill."

"Also, if you're not too busy over the next few days, spend more time with your fiancée to develop some affection. I really have no idea how you lucked out so big."

Gu Sanfeng put the jade bottle back on the table, stroked his rough chin, murmured a few words to himself, and then hummed a tune as he went to tell the Family Head about these matters.

After Uncle Three left, Gu Changge didn't stay long and went straight back to the Back Mountain.

"By now, it should already be considered a success, right?"

"But no sign of any effect yet..."

"Could it be that we have to wait for Miss Liu to cultivate before it has any effect?"

At this moment, all he cared about was how his newly arrived Golden Finger would become effective.

As for the Soul-Shaping Pill, once he learned that Liu Qingqing needed it to compete for the position of Sect Saintess, he discarded the idea of consuming it himself.

Moreover, according to the hints in his mind, if he was not mistaken, Liu Qingqing taking the Soul-Shaping Pill might give him a similar, or even better, effect!

...

Meanwhile, the group from the Heavenly Cold Sect had also settled down in the courtyard arranged by the Gu Family.

The two Elders still couldn't believe everything that had happened up to this point.

"Qingqing, you were just stalling for time just now, not truly planning to form a Daoist Couple with that kid, right?"

"You can rest assured, I've already notified our Sect, that if we need to leave, the Sect will also provide assistance!"

"So Elder Sister had such a plan? No wonder..."

However, Liu Qingqing ruthlessly cut off their speculations, shaking her head, "The matter of marriage is settled, there's no need for further discussion from the Elder."

"But you know, the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess..."

"I understand the Elder's concerns."

"However, the Elder need not worry about being held accountable when we return to the Sect. I will bear all consequences, and I will explain the process to the Sect Leader and Master."

"I'm going to cultivate. If the Gu Family comes looking, call for me then."

Liu Qingqing disliked trouble, and after leaving a few words, she randomly chose a room and entered, setting up an Isolation Array.

At this moment, her heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

No matter how simply put, marriage was ultimately a major event.

"He seems not bad..."

"It's just a pity he can't cultivate, otherwise if I cultivated to Perfection, it wouldn't be impossible for us to be a divine couple."

"The lifespan of mortals is ultimately too short, the pursuit of immortality and the Dao is my goal."

After a long while, she finally calmed her heart, took a cushion from her Storage Pouch, sat cross-legged upon it, and entered a state of deep cultivation.

In the courtyard, the people from the Heavenly Cold Sect were all very confused and angry, but helpless. Since Liu Qingqing had made up her mind, they had no authority to stop her.

Especially since the Gu Family's foundation was not weak, with old monsters in residence, and with Liu Qingqing willing, the Heavenly Cold Sect had no reason to completely fall out with the Gu Family!

Nevertheless, the two Elders still reported the situation to the Sect as soon as possible and also let the Sect know there was no need to come to their aid for their withdrawal; the previous was a misunderstanding.

"I wonder what kind of commotion Qingqing's actions will cause once they're reported back..."

"This Gu Family kid can't cultivate, if he really marries Qingqing, Humph... I'm afraid even with the Gu Family's support, he won't be able to endure it."

...

At this moment, inside the courtyard of the Gu Family Head, all the Gu Family elders, except for those with pressing matters, were waiting in silence.

Until Gu Sanfeng brought back the news.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing it.

"So it seems..."

"I've misunderstood that girl," Gu Zhan muttered, patting the back of his head and raising an eyebrow.

"She even took out the Soul-Shaping Pill, it couldn't be fake."

"If it were anyone else, it might be a scheme against our Gu Family, but with Changge, it can only be sincere."

"Though it may sound unpleasant, even if Changge were to take the Soul-Shaping Pill, in the future, at best, he could only cultivate to the third grade of the Qi Sea Realm, with no further progress possible, and the real position of power would never be entrusted to this child."

"Looking at it this way, the girl from the Liu Family wasn't here to call off the engagement but rather to fulfill it!"

Gu Sanfeng curled his lip upon hearing this but didn't say much; after all, it was the truth.

"What do you all think about this matter?" Gu Zhan swept his gaze over everyone.

"Since these two young ones want to marry, let's proceed as normal."

"Prepare for a few days, then send someone to the Liu Family to propose marriage. All the necessary and proper procedures must not be overlooked."

Gu Yixiao spoke after pondering for a moment, and everyone nodded in agreement, thus the matter was settled.
