Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C59
Gu Qing did not answer her question, but instead said, “How about I tell you a story?”
Yun Tian’s eyes flashed with interest, “You want to tell me a story?”
Gu Qing did not retract her hand, she was still strangling the other party’s neck, but a shallow smile still hung on her face, “Yes, you want to hear?”
“Yun Tian” laughed, “I just happen to be bored. If you say it well, maybe I can let you go.”
Gu Qing slightly smiled and began to explain, “A long time ago, a cultivator clan adopted an ordinary little girl. Even though the little girl was called Third Miss by them, she had been bullied by the other two Miss since she was young, and her life was worse than a servant’s. Fortunately, she was strong enough. No matter if she was hungry, cold, or cursing, she gritted her teeth and endured it. After enduring for more than ten years, she finally became a young girl. She knows that waiting for her fate is either to become a cultivator, or to become someone else’s furnace and become someone else’s plaything. She is very nervous as she waits for the day of the test to come, but she is very afraid that she does not have an Immortal Foundation, only when she is in danger in the Green Mountain and has been saved by an immortal … ”
Saying that, Gu Qing stopped, her eyes staring at the Mermaid, her mind looking at the other person in the distance, who was thousands of miles away. The mermaid, Yun Tian, seemed to be interested in the story and immediately asked: “What’s next? Has she become a cauldron or an immortal? ”
Hearing the mermaid voice, Gu Qing regained her senses, looked at her face, suppressed the longing in her heart, and continued: “His appearance not only saved the girl’s life, but also filled her dark life with hope. From then on, the girl no longer trembled all day. She felt that her future could become very beautiful. With this hope, even when she was tested to not have spiritual roots, she did not give up. ”
“You mean that girl has become an immortal?” The Mermaid seemed to have been trapped here for too long. No one had ever spoken to them before, especially after they were seen through as an illusion. It was either you or me who were alive, and the Mermaid had never chatted with humans in such a calm manner for so long.
“The young lady became an immortal and even saw the male cultivator that gave her hope. However, for some reason, she had no choice but to leave him.” Gu Qing’s state of mind fluctuated, she was already feeling uncomfortable, but she glanced at the Mermaid and purposefully let out a long sigh.
The mermaid seemed to be disappointed as well. Her face was the same as Yun Tian’s as she frowned, “Why does she have to leave him?”
Gu Qing smiled slightly, “I seem to have said too much to you, I know you are not the person I want. If I let you go, you will let me go too, how about it?”
The Mermaid’s curiosity was piqued. Although she didn’t want to eat her anymore, how could she be willing to let her off so easily? He immediately said, “After you finish telling the story, I’ll let you go.”
Gu Qing secretly laughed in her heart, but on the surface she said: “But I’m short on time, I still need to find something.”
Yun Tian creased his eyebrows, “What are you looking for? Can’t you look for it when you’re done? ”
Gu Qing smiled, “It’s fine if you only come back after you’re done, if you’re willing to help me.”
The mermaid seemed to sense the conspiracy and immediately became vigilant. She no longer told the story and asked, “What is it?”
Gu Qing smirked. At this moment, both man and fish knew what was going on: Gu Qing knew that it was an illusion, and the mermaid also knew that Gu Qing had a reason for telling the story.
When Gu Qing saw that Yun Tian’s expression had darkened while the other side was already on guard, she did not beat around the bush and directly said: “I won’t hide it from you, I came for your tears. If you are willing to give me, I will tell you the story.
When the mermaid heard her words, the corner of her mouth twitched. Only then did she relax. However, her words were not easy to loosen up from. “Our tears are incomparably precious. Do you want me to give them to you?”
Gu Qing smiled, “Didn’t I say it earlier? I’ll trade you a story. ”
The mermaid’s face twitched. If this person had wanted to exchange tears with her from the start, she would have refused. But now, she was very curious about the story. She wanted to refuse, but she could not.
Gu Qing saw its hesitation and replied while the iron was still in the air: “If you agree, then I will open the award, in fact you will not be at a disadvantage in this transaction at all, it’s just asking for two drops of tears. If it was any other cultivator here, they would definitely kill you and take your treasures.”
When the mermaid heard this, she felt that it was somewhat reasonable. It seemed that the mermaid wasn’t at a disadvantage at all in this transaction, and could even listen to an interesting story.
“Alright, go ahead!” The mermaid nodded, her eyes shining like a curious child’s.
Gu Qing smiled and continued with the story. However, the first half of the story was her own personal experience, while the second half was all her work. But the first half of the story was her own life story, and the second half was all her work.
When Gu Qing was telling the story to the mermaid, the Ye Sanniang on the shore almost rushed out of her seat a few times, but they were all held back by Chen Jinhu in the end.
“He actually stood together with a mermaid for such a long time, even that mermaid didn’t eat him. Unbelievable!” Ye Sanniang’s face was filled with surprise.
It was not her fault that she was surprised, in the first place, almost no one would risk getting close to the Mermaid and falling into the illusion only for a few tears, even if there was another reason, if they approached the Mermaid, they would probably either be attacked or attack the Mermaid, such as Gu Qing, who had never seen or heard of this kind of situation.
Chen Jinhu’s eyes flashed, the worry in his heart was completely different from the Ye Sanniang. The Ye Sanniang was worried that Gu Qing was in danger, and Chen Jinhu was worried that the cultivators who were halfway there wouldn’t be easy to deal with. If it was detrimental to him and the Ye Sanniang, he didn’t guarantee that they would not be at a disadvantage.
Thinking about it this way, she became even more wary of Gu Qing.
Just at this time, the man and the fish in front of them suddenly split apart, and the mermaid quickly dove into the water, while Gu Qing walked towards the hiding place of the humans with a smile.
The Ye Sanniang heaved a sigh of relief, but Chen Jinhu felt that it was really embarrassing for a man to laugh so foolishly.
Gu Qing shook the pearl in her hand, “Look, I got it!”
Ye Sanniang opened his mouth wide, looking as though she couldn’t believe it. She took the pearl from Gu Qing’s hand, and looked at it again and again, “This is a Mermaid’s teardrop? What’s the use of it? ”
It was not the fault of the Ye Sanniang to ask questions. The Cultivation Realm did not have any legends regarding the effects of the Mermaid tear drop, so obtaining it would be even more difficult.
Gu Qing recalled the perverted request Mask Man had made for her, causing her to tell a mermaid a long story and only getting such a useless teardrop, and couldn’t help but pout her lips, “Who knows, someone asked me to help them.”
Ye Sanniang replied with an “Oh”, then placed the Mermaid tear drop back into Gu Qing’s hands. Her eyes lit up as she asked, “Then tell me quickly, what did you say to that mermaid man, and why didn’t it bite you and give you the tears?”
Gu Qing also turned her tears a bit, and discovered that it was a transparent pearl, she casually threw it into the Universe Bag, and said: “I told it a story.”
Ye Sanniang opened her mouth once again in shock, “This works? I’ll try again next time. ”
Chen Jinhu immediately interrupted, “Try what? What do you want with its tears? You may not be able to resist the illusion and harm yourself. ”
Only then did Ye Sanniang nod her head: “That’s right, if I want this thing, it would be useless.”
Chen Jinhu shifted his gaze from Ye Sanniang to Gu Qing, “Since you’ve obtained the Mermaid Tears, you probably don’t need to travel alongside us …”
Before Chen Jinhu could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Ye Sanniang, “Jin Hu!” After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Gu Qing apologetically. “Fellow Taoist Luo Chen, I’m sorry.
Gu Qing also did not know how she offended Chen Jinhu. From the first time she saw him, this person did not like him at all.
Gu Qing said: “It’s alright, Fellow Taoist Ye, I still lack two tears. That mermaid has already promised me that she will send me two more tears in a few days, so I will be waiting here for a few days.” She had to force the mermaid to promise to give her two more tears, but only if she told him another story.
With that, Gu Qing sat cross legged and also didn’t want to talk to the two anymore. Although she felt that Ye Sanniang was a good person, but unfortunately, their relationship was even deeper. If Chen Jinhu had any objections, she wouldn’t stand on his side.
Ye Sanniang had been apologetically pulling Chen Jinhu away.
It was only until they arrived at the other side of the island that the Ye Sanniang stopped moving. When Chen Jinhu saw the sunken expression on Ye Sanniang’s face, his heart was even more unhappy, and his tone also became a little more aggressive, “If you take a fancy to him, then just say it directly.”
When the Ye Sanniang heard Chen Jinhu’s words, his face suddenly flushed red. He glared at him and said, “What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t you know how difficult it is to become a rogue cultivator? One more friend and one more path. Furthermore, there aren’t many people as friendly as Fellow Taoist Luo Chen. I can tell that he’s not a bad person. ”
The Ye Sanniang was warm-hearted, but she was also not a good person. The reason why she liked Gu Qing was because, firstly, because she found him attractive, and secondly, because she felt that Gu Qing was not a bad person.
“In your eyes, are there any bad people? “Be careful not to count the money you’re being sold off.” Chen Jinhu glared as he listened to Ye Sanniang praise others. No matter how he listened, it didn’t feel good.
Although Gu Qing did not know what Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu were talking about, she could guess, but she did not care. After a few days, she would leave after getting her hands on the Merfolk Eye, and at that time, she, Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu would not meet again.
She knew that it was fake, but her heart was still beating uncontrollably, and her heart was also drifting further along. However, her eyes were gloomy, and she did not know that Yun Tianqing was not clear about the matter of her escaping from the Huaqing Palace, but after he found out that she had left, was he as apathetic as usual, not caring at all?
