Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

The previously noisy crowd fell silent instantly, as if someone had grabbed their throat! Every martial artist who felt this oppressive aura paled in shock, staring in horror at the stunningly beautiful girl in bright red attire, their eyes filled with awe and disbelief!
The mockery and smugness on the face of the one-legged young master froze instantly, replaced by extreme fear and deathly paleness! His legs went weak, and if he hadn't been leaning on his crutches, he would have collapsed to the ground! The guard captain beside him, who had the highest cultivation level and was at the peak of the Sect Realm, felt his scalp tingle and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat!

"Venerable...Venerable One?!"

The captain of the guards' voice trembled. He suddenly grabbed his young master and bowed deeply in the direction of Tantai Xuefei, almost crying and begging for mercy.

"Please calm down, senior! Please calm down, senior! My young master... he's young and ignorant, and speaks his mind without thinking. He had no intention of offending us! Please, senior, be magnanimous and don't stoop to the level of us ants! I beg you!"

The young master with the broken leg finally snapped out of his daze, his teeth chattering as he incoherently shouted.

"Misunderstanding...Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Senior, spare my life! I was blind and offended you, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

Tantai Xuefei snorted coldly, and that snort struck the young master and his guards like a heavy hammer, making their blood boil and almost causing them to lose control of their bladders on the spot.

She glanced at them coldly, as if they were a few annoying flies, then with a flash, she retreated behind Gu Sheng, concealing her overwhelming aura of a Venerable One, as if nothing had happened.

As Tantai Xuefei withdrew her suffocating aura of authority, the tense atmosphere in the arena eased slightly.

However, everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to Gu Sheng, who remained calm and seemingly detached from the situation.

What kind of background must this person have to be able to make such a young Venerable Realm genius girl willingly stand behind him?

A low murmur, filled with apprehension and awe, rose from the surrounding crowd.

"Hiss... That girl in red is actually a Venerable One! My God!"

"She seems to be led by that young man in blue..."

"That Liu Laosan with the broken leg has really messed up this time! He had previously relied on his family's influence to provoke several passing Human King Realm experts, only to be taught a lesson. But this time he's gone even further, directly provoking a Venerable!"

"Serves him right! He's always been arrogant, bullying the weak and fearing the strong! This time he's met his match!"

Although these whispers were kept extremely low, how could they escape the ears of the cultivators present? The young master with the broken leg, known as "Liu Laosan," turned pale and then red, his chest heaving violently. He was clearly furious, but under the lingering fear of Tantai Xuefei's terrifying aura, he didn't dare to utter a single word and could only grit his teeth.

Gu Sheng's gaze swept over Liu Laosan indifferently.

That seemingly casual glance sent Liu Laosan plummeting into an icy abyss! He felt as if countless invisible blades had pierced through him instantly, exposing him completely, from his body to his soul, leaving no secrets or fears undiscovered!

"Pfft!"

He could no longer hold on, his cane slipped from his hand, and he collapsed to the ground like a limp rag doll, panting heavily, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with endless fear as he looked at Gu Sheng, as if he were looking at a demon god from the deepest hell!

Gu Sheng ignored him, as if he had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

He turned to Tantai Xuefei and said in a casual tone.

"Let's find a place to stay. Xue Li should come and meet us here, and then we'll make some more specific plans."

Tantai Xuefei nodded, the frost on her face instantly melting away, and a bright smile returned.

“No problem! There’s a martial arts market run by my Tantai family in Wanxiang City called ‘Wanbaodian’. We’ll go there. It’s guaranteed to be quiet and comfortable.”

The group left without lingering, under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Only after their figures disappeared around the street corner did Liu Laosan, who had collapsed to the ground, shakily try to stand up with the help of his guards. He looked in the direction where Gu Sheng and the others had left, his eyes filled with resentment and malice, but even more so with an inescapable fear.

……

Led by Tantai Xuefei, the group arrived at a magnificent palace located in the heart of Wanxiang City. The palace towered high, with the three gilded characters "Wanbao Hall" written in a flowing, elegant style on the plaque. Elite guards stood watch at the entrance, and those who entered and exited were all wealthy and noble, clearly indicating that this place was of extremely high status.

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, a female steward dressed in elegant white robes and exuding a capable demeanor immediately came to greet them. Her gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Tantai Xuefei. A hint of surprise and excitement flashed in her eyes, and she quickly bowed respectfully, her voice filled with reverence.

"Your subordinate greets Miss Xuefei! Congratulations on your full recovery and further advancement!"

She had clearly received news from Meteor Moon City that Tantai Xuefei had not only recovered but had also broken through to the Venerable Realm.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Xuefei frowned slightly, seemingly not quite pleased with the congratulations.

She couldn't help but recall her recovery process and that unexpected and profound "spiritual unity," and subconsciously glanced at Gu Sheng beside her, thinking to herself.

'You only know that I have recovered, but you don't know what I paid for... However, this price doesn't seem to be a bad deal?' Thinking that only she knew Gu Sheng's astonishing identity as the 'Northern Star Pill Emperor,' the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a hint of smugness that only she could understand.

She waved her hand, interrupting the steward's flattery.

"Alright, enough with the formalities. Give us the best rooms on the top floor; we need to rest."

The female manager quickly agreed.

"Yes, miss!"

Her gaze involuntarily turned to Gu Sheng, a hint of inquiry in her eyes. After all, the top floor was usually reserved for core family members or the most distinguished guests.

Tantai Xuefei replied naturally.

"They are my most important friends, and we rest together."

"understand!"

The female manager asked no more questions and personally led the way, taking everyone to the top floor of the Wanbao Hall.

The top floor was indeed extremely quiet and elegant, full of spiritual energy, and luxuriously decorated without losing its style. Through the huge glass windows, one could overlook most of the bustling scene of MixC.

As soon as everyone sat down, Fan Qingcheng stood up, nodded slightly to Gu Sheng, and her ethereal voice rang out.

"Young Master Gu, the mission of escorting you safely to Zhongzhou is now complete. Qingcheng has some personal matters to attend to in Zhongzhou, so I will not accompany you any longer and will take my leave."

As she spoke, she flipped her hand and took out a warm, white jade talisman, handing it to Gu Sheng.

"This is a specially made communication jade talisman. If you encounter any insurmountable danger while you are in Zhongzhou, you can crush this talisman."

No matter how far apart we are, I can sense it and will come as quickly as possible.

Gu Sheng accepted the jade talisman and could sense a trace of pure soul imprint contained within it. Knowing that this item was precious, he solemnly accepted it and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Thank you for protecting me all the way, Miss Fan. I will always remember your kindness."

Fan Qingcheng smiled faintly, said no more, and with a flicker of his body, he transformed into a pale silver stream of light and disappeared into the room.

Watching Fan Qingcheng leave, Tantai Xuefei moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back, her eyes filled with a complicated expression.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Tantai Xuefei and spoke.

"Xuefei, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Tantai Xuefei's eyes lit up, and she immediately patted her chest, which was beginning to take shape.

"What is it? Just say it! Why are you being so polite with me!" "Previously in the Eastern Wilderness, Xue Li sent people to escort a group of people to the Central State."

Gu Sheng said.

"I would like to ask you to use your connections to find out where these people are now and what their situation is."

Upon hearing this, Tantai Xuefei immediately understood that Gu Sheng was referring to those members of the Gu family or former subordinates related to his father, Gu Lie.

She nodded without hesitation.

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

She immediately snapped her fingers.

The white-clad female manager, as if she had been waiting outside the door, entered in response to the call and greeted us respectfully.

"What are your orders, Miss?"

Tantai Xuefei repeated what Gu Sheng had told her, emphasizing it in particular.

"This is the highest priority. Utilize all our intelligence networks in Central State to find out as soon as possible."

The female manager listened carefully, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes, before replying.

“Miss, Mr. Gu, I have some impression of the group of people you mentioned.”

They arrived about half a month ago, carrying the Second Miss's token, and were properly settled by our people in 'Tianyuan Imperial City'. Tianyuan Imperial City is not far from our current location, Wanxiang Imperial City; it takes about five days to travel there by large airship.

"Your subordinate will immediately retrieve detailed intelligence, including their current addresses, personnel status, and the recent power distribution within Tianyuan Imperial City."

"Tianyuan Imperial City?"

Gu Sheng wrote down the name.

"Good work."

"You're too kind, young master. This is my duty."

The female manager bowed respectfully, quickly turned and left, demonstrating extremely high efficiency.

After the female steward left, Tantai Xuefei personally took out an exquisite tea set and used a small jade pot to simmer spring water taken from the spiritual vein. Then she carefully took out a jade jar and took out a few emerald green tea leaves that were faintly glowing with spiritual light.

"This is 'Earthly Essence Tea,' produced from an ancient tea tree beside a rare spiritual spring in the Central Plains. It can only be harvested once every hundred years and has remarkable effects on nourishing the meridians and refining true energy."

As she skillfully brewed the tea, she explained its preparation, handing the first cup of tea, brimming with a delicate, ethereal aroma, to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng took it, took a small sip, and immediately felt a gentle and pure warm current slide down his throat, quickly spreading to his limbs and bones. His internal energy seemed to become more active, and his meridians felt comfortable.

He nodded and praised.

"It is indeed a fine tea, with excellent nourishing effects on vital energy and meridians."

Tantai Xuefei smiled.

"This tea is also very beneficial for Yaoyao and Yuanyuan to lay a solid foundation at this stage."

As he spoke, he poured a cup for Gu Yuanyuan and Qi Diaoyaoyao each. The two women quickly thanked him and took small sips, their faces showing delight.

However, this moment of tranquility did not last long.

The white-clad female steward, who had just left, returned with a hint of embarrassment on her face and reported.

"Miss, Young Master Lu from the Myriad Realms Holy Land is requesting an audience."

Tantai Xuefei's smiling face instantly darkened, and she said coldly without thinking.

"I won't see him! Tell him that my engagement with him has long been dissolved, and we have no further connection! Let him go back to where he came from!"

The disgust in her words was undisguised.

The female manager seemed to have expected this, and was about to accept the order and leave.

Just then, a commotion of footsteps and arguing came from outside the room.

"Get out of my way! I want to see Xuefei, and you dare to stop me?!"

"Young Master Lu, please have some self-respect, Miss..."

"Go away!"

"boom!"

The sturdy door to the room was forcibly pushed open from the outside!

A young man dressed in a magnificent blue robe, with a fairly handsome face but an inescapable air of arrogance and hostility in his eyes, barged in with several burly guards!

The young man in the blue robe immediately fixed his gaze on Tantai Xuefei in the room, but when he saw Gu Sheng sitting next to Tantai Xuefei, leisurely sipping tea, his face suddenly darkened, especially when he saw that Tantai Xuefei and Gu Sheng were sitting quite close together and seemed to be very familiar with each other.

He pointed at Gu Sheng, his tone full of questioning and anger, and roared at Tantai Xuefei.

"Tantai Xuefei! Who is he?! You're refusing to see me because of this pretty boy?!"

Tantai Xuefei suddenly stood up, her pretty face frosty, her eyes as cold as knives.

"Young Master Lu! Watch your words! Our engagement is null and void. Who I associate with is none of your business. Now, get out of here immediately!"

Young Master Lu felt humiliated and enraged when Tantai Xuefei publicly reprimanded him, especially in front of his "love rival."

He turned his attention to Gu Sheng again, looking him up and down. Sensing the not-so-strong fluctuations of true energy emanating from him, he revealed extreme contempt and mockery on his face.

"I thought he was some important figure, but he's just an ant with only the cultivation level of a sect master! Tantai Xuefei, even if you're looking for male concubines, you should at least find someone decent! This kind of bumpkin from a remote village is unworthy of being in your Tantai family's grand hall? You're really degrading yourself!"

The moment the words "male concubine" were uttered, Tantai Xuefei's eyes turned completely cold, and her previously restrained aura became dangerous again, as if the temperature in the entire room had suddenly dropped.

She stepped forward, shielding Gu Sheng behind her, her voice icy and chilling, each word spoken with deliberate precision.

"Lu, Yong, Shen! Listen to me carefully! This young master Gu is my most honored guest! If you dare to utter any more foul language and insult my friend, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between our two families and making you leave here!"

"Now, get out of here!"

Lu Chensong was enraged by Tantai Xuefei's merciless rebuke and Gu Sheng's complete disregard for him. His handsome face twisted in anger as he stared intently at Gu Sheng and continued to sneer at him without thinking.

"What? All you can do is hide behind women? Look at your pretty boy face, you're just the kind of guy who'll live off a woman! Tantai Xuefei, your taste is getting worse and worse, you actually like this kind of trash?" (End of Chapter)
