154: Never Gonna Give You Up
🕑 Added 2025-01-12 15:08:35 +0000 UTCLuo Guoxi took a deep breath and turned her gaze away from his eyes. She snorted and said with arrogance, "Nonsense! There's no one in this world who can make me, Luo Guoxi, give up on my disciple!"
"Don't ever say such a thing again!" She glared at him and spoke in a cold tone.
She was a 9th level Divine Master, the strongest beneath the King Realms, with the entire Holy Eaves Realm backing her. In the entire Eastern Divine Region, or even across the whole Primal Chaos, there was no one she feared, except for the King Realms themselves.
However, Fei Yang (Yun Wuji) knew all of this, yet he still refused to tell her and was even worried about her safety. Without much thought, she could guess that he had likely provoked a King Realm and that this King Realm was probably one of the four in the Eastern Region.
If it had been anyone else, Luo Guoxi would have had no hesitation in forcing the information from his mouth and even handing him over to the King Realm.
But... this man... he was not just her disciple; he was also someone incredibly important to her.
Every year, she would visit the grave of her lover, Ning Danqing. Each time, she prayed to the heavens, asking them to bring him back to her and make her dead heart come alive again.
That day, while visiting Ning Danqing's grave, she had just finished her prayer when Fei Yang fell. At first, she wanted to angrily obliterate him, but when she saw him completely, she couldn't bring herself to harm him.
Although Ning Danqing didn't share a single resemblance with that man, nor did he possess his noble temperament, she was still willing to believe that this was the compensation the heavens had given her for all her hardships.
Of course, his good looks and temperament played a huge role. If it had been an old bald man, she would've reduced him to stardust before he even hit the ground.
Using him as a replacement for her lover, she knew it was twisted and wrong, but she was willing to indulge in this fantasy. Right now, the only things keeping her alive were her son and her burning desire for revenge.
So when this man appeared, it felt like a lifeline, a new lease on life that she was willing to do anything to cling to.
How could she possibly give him up just because he offended a King Realm? Even if he were to offend the Dragon Monarch himself, she would still never give him up.
Never gonna give you up🎵Never gonna let you down 🎵
Luo Guoxi was fucking crazy. If she set her mind on something, she'd do whatever it took to get it. Back then, she threw away her dignity and reputation to kill Yun Che when he defeated Luo Changsheng, and when Yun Che returned, she even tried to kill him in front of his wife, the Moon God Emperor, Xia Qingyue, and the Eternal Heaven Emperor.
This shows just how crazy and obsessed she could be. Even if it meant offending a King Realm, she wouldn't give a single fuck.
Naturally, Yun Wuji knew this. Over the past month, he had been observing and testing her, before finally starting his bullshit again.
Just having meta knowledge was already a huge cheat. Dealing with people you already know everything about makes it so easy. As the Chinese saying goes, 'it's a dimensional reduction strike', they weren't on the same level at all.
One side knows nothing about the other, while the other side knows all their secrets and sometimes even understands them better than they understand themselves. It makes it so easy to manipulate them.
Luo Guoxi looked at Yun Wuji for a long moment, then took out a storage ring from her robe and handed it to him. "Here, take this. Don't forget that I'm your master. Next time you want something, just say it."
Yun Wuji received the ring with both hands and used his senses to look inside. When he saw what was inside, his eyes widened, and a wide smile spread across his face. The ring contained an extremely large number of profound cores, tens of times more than what the Song Song Realm had given him.
As expected of a 9th-level Divine Master, her wealth could never be underestimated. Luo Guxie naturally hated the Holy Eaves Realm, so she likely never gave away any of her treasures, keeping everything she had collected during her millennia of traveling alone.
'Is this the feeling of having a sugar mommy? This feeling is... is so good!' Yun Wuji was so moved that he wiped an imaginary tear from the corner of his eye. 'No wait, that's wrong, she is my master, not a sugar mommy.'
He held the ring with both hands and said in an excited voice, "Thank you, master!"
Luo Guxie observed his changing expression from the moment he took the ring, and the corner of her lips curled slightly. She replied with a soft hum. "Hmm."
"I have been away for a long time; it's time to return to the Holy Eaves Realm," she suddenly said. Then, giving Yun Wuji a glance, she added, "It's also time for you to meet your senior brother."
His "senior brother" was none other than Luo Changsheng, her first disciple. Naturally, she wouldn't tell Yun Wuji that Luo Changsheng was also her son.
That was a 'gift' she had reserved for her dear brother, one that she would only give him on the day when Luo Changsheng became the realm king.
"Yes, Master," Yun Wuji replied with a nod like a good disciple. Internally, though, his thoughts were far less disciplined. It was indeed about time to head to the Holy Eaves Realm. 'The number one High-Rank Star Realm must have plenty of treasures, right? Heheh...'
Luo Guxie summoned a profound ark with a wave of her hand. It wasn't big, spanning only a few hundred meters, but its design was exquisite. The ark gleamed with a deep purple hue, its surface adorned with intricate bronze inscriptions that shone faintly.
'It seems she really likes the color purple... Nah, I can't jump to conclusions until I see her underwear,' Yun Wuji thought glancing at the profound ark.
"Get in," Luo Guxie commanded as she grabbed his wrist and flew inside the ark.
'I can fly on my own, why is she holding my hand? Are you really that thirsty?' Yun Wuji glanced at her grip on his wrist, suppressing the urge to voice his complaint.
The ark shone with a brilliant purple light, and in an instant, it transformed into a streak of radiant purple, soaring through the sky at an incredibly fast speed. Within moments, it had left the star realm behind.
Unlike its outside appearance, surprisingly the inside of the profound ark was quite vast. Yun Wuji looked around at what appeared to be an enormous palace. This made sense, as people often traveled long distances in profound arks, so they needed enough space to rest comfortably inside. But what made Yun Wuji feel strange was that everything he saw was purple... purple and more purple. The walls, the furniture, every brick and tile were all purple.
'Purple... Purple is good, it's better than pink,' Yun Wuji nodded in his mind as he followed Luo Guoxi.
She brought him to a cultivation room and said, "You can stay here." After showing him around, she turned to leave.
"Master!" Yun Wuji called out just as she was about to leave. "Do you want to eat something?"
Since she had given him so much, it was only right for him to offer something in return, wasn't it?
"Eating?" Luo Guxie frowned slightly, wondering why he was asking this. After a brief pause, she replied, "Alright, we can find a restaurant on the way."
She assumed Yun Wuji wanted to treat himself to something delicious. From what she had learned during their time together, he was dirt poor, his weapon was merely mortal rank. Not that it bothered her; if there was one thing she didn't lack the most, it was money.
'Why do I feel like I'm being kept? You're not my sugar mommy, but master, act like one,' Yun Wuji thought as he looked at her expression. He shook his head and replied, "Nah, I'd cook."
"You?" Luo Guxie looked at him with suspicion.
"Hmm~" A few minutes later, she rested her left cheek in her hand, moaning in delight as she stared at the dishes in front of her. She had tasted many delicious foods in her long life, but how could something so delicious exist in this world?
Compared to the dishes in front of her, all the food she had eaten in her life seemed like nothing more than trash!
Yun Wuji sat at her left with a faint smile. He had refined his cooking skills just as much as his battle techniques, if not more. In this world, there was likely no one who could rival him.
Suddenly, Yun Wuji leaned over and stretched his arm. Luo Guxie, engrossed in the food, glanced at him in confusion. He gently brushed his hand over her cheek, picking off a grain of rice. Sitting back down, he popped it into his mouth and smiled. "You had something on your cheek."
"..." Luo Guxie froze, the food she was holding with her chopsticks falling. She stared at Yun Wuji in a daze.
At that moment, she recalled a scene from thousands of years ago when she was still young. At that time, Ning Danqing had also cooked something for her. Although it wasn't as delicious as Yun Wuji's, she had eaten it with relish. She vividly remembered how Ning Danqing, too, had picked a piece of food off her face and laughed at her, just like Yun Wuji did now.
Suddenly, a tear began to fall from her left eye, leaving a trail down her cheek.
