Are you sure?

Gu Wudao raised an eyebrow slightly and waved his hand casually.

The man in black, clutching his shoulder, swiftly fled the main hall; clearly, he was the one who had orchestrated the whole thing.

The middle-aged man with white hair kept giving you meaningful glances, but you ignored him, staring intently at Gu Wudao.

"We've all suppressed our cultivation to the early Golden Core stage!"

"A brilliant plan!"

After listening, Gu Wudao looked at you with a half-smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should focus on physical cultivation."

"That's right!"

You're being unreasonable, yet you're still so assertive.

"Since Young Master Gu is willing to go to the trouble of testing me, it means you don't intend to break off the engagement. Then you must demonstrate the corresponding strength to gain my approval."

"That's fine too."

Gu Wudao tapped the armrest lightly with his fingertips, the smile in his eyes well-hidden.

[Pfft~]

However, a young maid in a green dress behind him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh."

She quickly waved her hand in apology, and in the brief moment of eye contact with you, the meaning in her eyes was quite clear:

Don't compare!

Gu Wudao glanced at her expressionlessly, then his smile became even more genuine.

"Now that you have passed the test, I should naturally grant your request."

"A Battle in the Plaza!"

You completely misunderstood; you thought that young girl was asking you to save face for her young master.

Hmph~

[You're practically bursting with a smile; you're already fantasizing about how to use your body-refining cultivation to bully a Nascent Soul cultivator.]

【"Need not."】

【"Varied..."】

【"Clang~"】

[Duan Yuan instantly released his grip.]

A flicker of confusion crossed your eyes, and the next moment, you felt a tightening around your waist.

When you came to your senses, you found yourself sitting in his lap, and when you looked up, you met the boy's teasing gaze.

Inside the main hall, everyone's gaze fell upon the person in the main seat—or more precisely, upon you.

Those gazes held doubt, surprise, and a hint of sudden realization.

[No, what did he realize?]

"You...you're cheating!"

You've developed a red fever.

"Madam, the young sect leader did not renege on his promise."

The young maid in the green dress held up the broken jade disc to your face and explained earnestly.

"His physical cultivation is very high."

[His tone was sincere, but his eyes held a hint of confusion. He had clearly reminded her earlier, so why did this mistress seem a little silly?]

Your lips moved slightly, you hesitated for a long time, and finally, blushing, you whispered:

"You...you let go of me first."

"That won't do."

The smile in Gu Wudao's eyes deepened.

I originally thought I was here to settle a trivial wedding matter, but I never expected to encounter such an interesting little creature.

Intelligent and quick-witted, ruthless in action, and adept at assessing situations.

Most importantly, he really liked your assertive and unforgiving attitude just now. A woman like that is certainly qualified to be the young mistress of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

"I've heard some rumors before, and although you passed the test, I'm still a little worried."

【"ah?"】

You looked up, bewildered, your eyes filled with confusion.

The boy leaned closer, your eyelashes trembled slightly, and your hand, gripping his collar, tightened unconsciously, but you didn't pull away.

Gu Wudao's pleasure intensified. He leaned close to your ear, and a powerful spiritual force enveloped both of you, completely blocking any outside observation.

"I want to inspect the goods myself."

"Inspect the goods?"

You couldn't understand a word he said, so you could only look at him with clear, innocent eyes.

Finally, under his increasingly audacious gaze, you completely gave in and buried your flushed face in his chest.

After a long pause, a muffled sound finally came through.

"Let's get it checked!"

"Haha, very good."

Feeling the vibrations coming from the boy's chest, you knew he was genuinely in a good mood.

You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

[Thank goodness, you almost gave yourself away when the fake "Fang Qingyun" appeared.]

Although "rewinding" can make amends, the place we're going to soon is the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!

In a place like that, without a second chance as a backup plan, you can't feel at ease.

Gu Wudao scooped you up in his arms, transforming into a rainbow as he soared towards the giant flying ship in mid-air, leaving behind only one sentence:

"Uncle Jiang, let's get married in three months!"

The middle-aged man's face lit up with joy upon hearing this—it was a success!

With this powerful backer, the Jiang family can prosper for at least another few thousand years.

[And at this moment, you have already been taken inside the airship.]

The moment you step inside, you involuntarily hold your breath.

The interior of the airship was far larger than it appeared from the outside, as if a palace had been completely crammed inside.

The dome was extremely high, inlaid with countless jewels arranged to form a vast star map.

A long carpet woven from the hide of an unknown animal lay beneath their feet, and the pillars on either side were carved from an unknown spirit wood, their surfaces wreathed in flowing silver light—exquisitely crafted.

[A jet-black throne hangs in the very center, and you are being held in the other person's arms, sitting on the throne.]

"Tell me, who exactly are you?"

After Gu Wudao dismissed everyone, his gaze towards you was filled with inquiry and curiosity.

【"......"

The shyness on your face almost burst forth.

But then I thought, since he was able to find Fang Qingyun, he must also know that the real Jiang Xueci had already escaped.

Then you'll have to activate the second plan.

"I...I..."

After hesitating for a while, you finally seemed to muster up the courage to look directly at the boy.

"I have admired you, sir, for a long time."

Gu Wudao was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and grabbed your chin.

"I dislike hearing lies, especially those where the truth is concealed."

Your eyes flashed, and then your figure swiftly shifted, revealing a woman of equally breathtaking beauty.

Gu Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in them.

"Do you think I don't know anyone from the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty?"

[...That's right, you transformed into Feng Qianyue.]

【never mind.】

You sighed inwardly, fearing you'd be thrown out if you weren't beautiful enough. Since it was just a simulation anyway, you decided to reveal your true appearance.

After a moment, Gu Wudao stared blankly at the white-haired beauty in his arms, then a pleased smile curved his lips.

"You know the consequences if they can't find out your true identity."

This kid's being cautious now!

You pouted and said reluctantly:

【"Lin Qingyu!"】
