Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C60
In the blink of an eye, five days passed. Gu Qing had also waited for the Mermaid to appear again.
This time, the other party did not take on the appearance of Yun Tian, but instead appeared in front of her in his original form. Seeing that, Gu Qing was a little disappointed. She knew it was fake, but she did not see the mermaid Yun Tian, so her heart was a little empty.
“What is it? You’re very disappointed that I didn’t transform into the appearance of the one you love? ” The mermaid laughed softly. From the human’s perspective, she might not be considered good-looking, but right now, she was smiling in a very comfortable and comfortable manner.
Gu Qing withdrew his thoughts, glared at it, and threw up her hands: “Where’s the teardrop?”
The mermaid opened her palm, and there were indeed two transparent pearls. Gu Qing’s face lit up. She had finally completed the mission of the abnormal Mask Man. Now, she could go back and concentrate on cultivation.
Just as he was about to reach out and grab it, the mermaid retracted her hand. “I can give you the teardrop, but what about what you promised me?”
It was only then that Gu Qing remembered that she had said that she would tell it a story.
However, the mermaid stared at her with burning eyes. “There’s more, there’s more?”
Seeing that the time was still early, Gu Qing explained further. She then said with her hands spread wide: “Is this enough, where are the items?”
The mermaid really wanted to say that wasn’t enough, if possible, she really wanted to leave this human girl here to tell it stories every day. Being able to transform into the person that others wanted to see the most, it was naturally unable to hide its true identity.
Gu Qing saw that it was hesitating and unmoving, as if she had seen through its thoughts, and a layer of frost immediately covered her forehead, “Don’t mess with me, if you want to touch me, it might not succeed, you should obediently hand over your tears, maybe I will tell you a story in a good mood in the future.”
When the mermaid heard this, she immediately gave up on the idea she had just made. It was true that it did not have the confidence to keep him. Perhaps if it angered him, not only would it not be able to hold him back, it would also take its own life.
Hearing that the other party had promised to tell him stories in the future, it finally relaxed: “You have promised me that you will come here to tell me stories in the future.” After he finished speaking, he gave the two drops of tears in his hands to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing received the tear and her heart finally calmed down. She could finally leave this place.
She put away the tears and turned to fish in a better mood. “If you can wait for me to come back alive, I’ll tell you a few more stories next time.”
With that, she smiled and turned to leave.
Although the mermaid was reluctant to part, she could only silently stare at her back until she disappeared.
Gu Qing originally wanted to leave the Boundless Ocean immediately, but thinking that the Ye Sanniang could be considered as taking care of him, she waited for a while longer until the Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu returned.
This time, both Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu had some colors hanging off their bodies. When Gu Qing asked around, she found out that they were met with another wave of rogue cultivators stealing resources, and the two of them were no match for the other three. Not only did they lose some treasures, they were also injured.
Listening to the Ye Sanniang scolding, Gu Qing knew that the days of the rogue cultivators were not easy. If she did not have the locket to create spiritual liquid s to raise her cultivation, she would not be so free, and would have to spend most of her time searching for cultivation resources.
If she gave this thing out, it might bring her countless troubles. She did not want to test her humanity, and even if the Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu could endure the trials, it would be difficult for them not to leak the secrets of her body. She could not afford to take such risks, so she could only watch as the Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu continued their miserable cultivation lives.
“Since there are other cultivators here, the two Fellow Taoist should look for a place to cultivate resources.” Gu Qing looked at Chen Jinhu and said to Ye Sanniang.
Ye Sanniang stopped and cursed, then sighed: “Fellow Taoist is probably not a rogue cultivator, how would she know how difficult it is for us rogue cultivators, we have always been snatching resources from other rogue cultivators, Fellow Taoist need not worry.”
Gu Qing really didn’t know that she had only been a cultivator for about two years, and it wasn’t easy for her to become a rogue cultivator, but now that she had personally witnessed it, she knew that it wasn’t easy.
Fortunately, she had the pendant on her chest, and fortunately, she had met Leng Wuye. Otherwise, even if she had the cultivation resources to roam the world, with her current cultivation, she wouldn’t be able to protect this treasure.
Thinking up to here, she felt even more that she couldn’t leave Leng Wuye’s residence for a short period of time.
Gu Qing calmed her emotions and nodded her head, “Since that’s the case, I also get what I want and will take my leave.”
Ye Sanniang opened his mouth, as though she wanted to say something, but after looking at Chen Jinhu, she closed his mouth and nodded.
The three of them had originally met by chance and did not have much relationship with each other. After Gu Qing bade farewell, he flew out of the island and headed towards the direction of the Stellar Kingdom’s capital city.
Once they returned to the crowded area, Gu Qing unconsciously became vigilant. She released her spiritual sense and slowly stepped into the capital city. She walked all the way to Leng Wuye’s residence, but did not discover anyone spying and following him. Only then did Gu Qing heave a sigh of relief, and entered the gates of Third Prince’s residence with ease.
One of them was Leng Wuye, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time. The other person, whom Gu Qing had also seen, was the long-haired Daoist who used a bowl-shaped treasure to bring the black bear into his cave.
When the Daoist Priest Liu saw her, he frowned and was slightly surprised. He never thought that the Meditation Stage Cultivator who he had not seen for a few days would succeed in reaching Foundation Establishment.
Upon seeing her, Leng Wuye’s expression changed slightly, but he did not immediately call out to her, and instead spoke to the man beside her: “Fellow Daoist Chang Zai, thank you for specially coming to help clear Wu Ye’s meridians, but Wu Ye’s legs have been crippled for many years, I’m afraid that he will never be able to recover.”
Following Leng Wuye’s words, Gu Qing’s gaze landed on Leng Wuye’s leg. Originally, Dao leader Liu was here to help him clear his meridians, and the injuries on Leng Wuye’s body were probably not ordinary, if not, with his cultivation and Stellar Kingdom, Leng Wuye would have long stood up from his wheelchair.
Hearing Leng Wuye’s words, he only indifferently nodded, his gaze sweeping across Gu Qing once again, and quickly left.
After he left, Leng Wuye then set his gaze back on her. “Luo Chen, did you encounter something when you suddenly left?”
Gu Qing smiled and comforted Leng Wuye, “Nothing much, I have dealt with everything that needs to be taken care of.” Gu Qing thought about how she did not have many Disguising Pill on her and that she would need to use one of these every once in awhile, causing her to consume a large amount of energy. Since she had to stay in the Third Prince Palace for a long time, she could not try to restore her appearance to bring about any trouble, so she had to replenish as much of these Disguising Pill as possible.
“It’s good that you’re fine,” Leng Wuye smiled faintly. Although his tone was normal, he had been worrying about Gu Qing during this period.
“Oh right, Third Prince, does Stellar Kingdom have a medicine store?” Gu Qing changed the topic.
“What is it? Wu Chen needs some pills, if you need anything, tell me and I’ll get someone to send it over. ” Leng Wuye’s temperament was like bamboo, elegant and noble.
Gu Qing was very grateful that Leng Wuye had extended his hand to his during his moment of crisis, but he was really unable to tell others about the Disguising Pill, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, “It’s alright, Third Prince only needs to tell me where I can buy medicinal pellets, I will buy them myself.”
Leng Wuye originally wanted to say one more sentence, but after thinking for a while, he said: “It’s just west of the city, there is a street that specializes in providing spirit herbs, Spiritual Pill s, and spirit artifacts.”
Gu Qing heard and nodded, as long as the Stellar Kingdom has a pill shop.
“Thank you, Third Prince. I just broke through the Foundation Period, so my cultivation was unstable. I will return to my cave and continue cultivating.”
Leng Wuye nodded lightly and smiled, “Congratulations Luo Chen.” Although he was smiling, a trace of loneliness quickly flashed through his eyes.
But Gu Qing did not notice anything when she thought about it, and directly returned to the cave in the backyard of the Third Prince Palace.
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was already late, she really wanted to go to the pill shop and buy the Disguising Pill back. The incident last time really gave her a big shock, and it was fortunate that the person who found out her true appearance was Leng Wuxin, not Shen Chang and the rest. However, this kind of thing definitely could not happen again, otherwise, she too would not be able to safely continue cultivating within the Stellar Kingdom.
She planned to go to the medicine store tomorrow to buy the Disguising Pill and then start her closed door cultivation to stabilize her Foundation Period. It was just that she did not know when that abnormal Mask Man would appear and take away the three Human Fish Tears that she had spent a lot of effort to get.
She threw the three Human Fish Tears Beads back into the Universe Bag. Just as she was about to sit down and start cultivating, the moonlight at the entrance of the cave suddenly disappeared. Gu Qing looked up and saw a figure standing there.
She was shocked, who was this person? She actually didn’t feel any sound at all.
Very quickly, her gaze landed on the face of the person at the cave entrance, that trademark sinister looking mask made Gu Qing’s mouth slightly twitch.
What did this person do? Why did this man suddenly appear when she had just entered the Third Prince Palace?
“It seems like you have the things I need?” The man wearing the hideous mask had his hands behind his back as he slowly strolled in. He was clearly just walking slowly, but he gave off the aura of someone in a position of power, pressuring Gu Qing to the point that her heart sank a little.
Gu Qing immediately took out three more Mermaid tear drops from the Universe Bag. “I wonder if those are the Merman’s tears that you mentioned.”
The eyes under the mask swept across the pearl in Gu Qing’s palm, and then laughed lightly, “That’s right, this is the thing.”
“I’ll give that to you. You can leave now.” Even though this person had helped her before, she was still instinctively fearful of him and didn’t want to stay in this narrow space with him any longer.
The other party, however, didn’t retreat, and instead closed the distance between them by three feet very quickly. Gu Qing could even hear the faint breathing beneath the mask, her heart slightly tightened and she subconsciously leaned back, wanting to stay further away from him.
Mask Man suddenly laughed softly. Although his laughter was a little hoarse, it had a magnetic taste.
“What are you laughing at?” Gu Qing frowned.
The man didn’t answer, but reached out to grab her hand.
Gu Qing originally thought that he took away the three Mermaid tear drops, but after a while, the other party didn’t have any intention to take away the three Mermaid tear drops at all, she only held her hands.
