CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 429: THE EMPRESS’S CURIOSITY SOARS, THE BEGINNING OF HER FALL! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

*Me, the Hang City Empress, kneeling down to beg him, to be his maid?*

*No fucking way!*

"Old Gu, you’re really impossible to reason with, is my future self just going to get wrecked by him?"

In her mind, Gu Qingcheng in the present asked in disbelief.

The future Gu Qingcheng, controlling the body, rolled her eyes and replied in her mind, "You’re the one getting wrecked, in the past century, he’s barely pampered me a handful of times."

"Hmph, it’s because of you right now! Even if I want to get wrecked, I don’t get the chance!"

"Every month, I drop him hints that I need him to spoil me, I’ve even got all sorts of sexy costumes ready, but he just brushes me off and totally ignores me, do you know how much torture I feel inside!"

"Hmph, all of this is because of you, you totally suck, Gu Qingcheng!"

"At least I spent a fortune to borrow the Supreme Treasure of Time Travel from our hubby and came here, so I can tweak some things right now. Otherwise, I’d be miserable for the rest of my life!"

Gu Qingcheng, "..."

*Her future self actually wanted to get wrecked!*

*Her future Gu Qingcheng had actually become an unsatisfied woman!*

*Without that man’s affection, she was totally suffering inside!*

*Her lips twitched, and she found this all super absurd.*

"Come on, that guy looks totally average, okay, maybe a little handsome, but what’s so special about him? Why do you like him?"

*Gu Qingcheng just couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she thought.*

The future Gu Qingcheng sneered, "Totally average?"

"In the future, he ascended to the very top, sat on the Supreme Throne of the Universe, and led all the tribes of the cosmos, and here you are saying he’s totally average? Shows how clueless you are!"

"Don’t let being the Hang City Empress get to your head, you may look cool, but you’re just a frog in the well, a clueless bumpkin."

"Forget about your future self, even you right now, in front of him, you’re nothing!"

Frog in the well? Bumpkin?

*Gu Qingcheng was absolutely speechless.*

*She was the former number one prodigy of Dragon Country, an unparalleled genius whose talent was still unmatched to this day.*

*And her future self was calling her a total nobody?*

She snapped, "You’ve got no proof, how do I know you’re not just making shit up? I don’t buy it."

The future Gu Qingcheng replied carelessly, "You’ll believe it."

"Alright, the apology’s done, come back now."

Gu Qingcheng immediately snatched back control of her body as that sliver of soul from the future Gu Qingcheng returned to the Sea of Spirit.

The future Gu Qingcheng grumbled, "I still wanted to hang out with hubby a bit more—what’s your rush? The ten minutes aren’t even up yet."

Gu Qingcheng answered in her mind, "You’ve lost your mind. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I’m not letting you control my body again. God knows what weird shit you’ll pull or say."

"The apology’s over. Ziran already forgave me."

The future Gu Qingcheng’s face darkened, "You’re just treating me like a tool, fine, but tools have feelings too!"

Gu Qingcheng reclaimed control of her body, her aura naturally shifting to one of majesty. Her entire presence turned sharp as a blade. She ignored the words from her soul in her head and turned her gaze toward Ziran and Xiao Ye.

*Right now, she was damn curious, what’s so great about Xiao Ye that made her future self simp so hard?*

Just then, Xiao Ye wrapped his arm around Ziran’s fragrant shoulder, pointed at the fifty old, weak, sick, and crippled Creation-type Demon Beasts behind him, and said,

"Kill them all, bodies need to be intact."

"Once they’re dead, I can harvest their resources."

Ziran grinned, "Okay~!"

She flicked her hand, and a wild surge of power shot out, splitting into countless Energy Blades that came crashing down.

The sound of "shhh shhh shhh!" filled the air.

Each of those old, weak Creation-type Demon Beasts were sliced clean in half by the sharp Energy Blades, dying on the spot.

Ziran turned for praise, "Xiao Ye, satisfied?"

Xiao Ye pinched her butt and chuckled, "Very, very satisfied."

Standing to the side, Gu Qingcheng watched Xiao Ye’s move, her eyes full of disdain.

*This guy’s just some useless bum living off women, a total horny old perv.*

*Amazing? Where’s the amazing part?*

*She didn’t see it at all.*

Ziran giggled, "Then tonight when you reward me, you gotta go all out, make me happy!"

Xiao Ye replied, "Mm-hmm, I’ll make you happy for sure."

*Ziran was absolutely delighted, her innocent face blooming like a flower.*

*Gu Qingcheng’s lips twitched, her gaze landing on her bestie Ziran in utter disbelief.*

*Ziran was literally begging this man to push her down, and wanted him to go all out, until she was totally satisfied!*

*Wait, is this really my Ziran?*

In her mind, Soul Gu Qingcheng snorted, her tone sour,

"Hmph, this little vixen really knows how to seduce hubby, no wonder he likes her so much."

"She kills a few low-level Demon Beasts and dares to ask for stuff!"

"Okay, okay, if this is how it’s done!"

"This way of showing off and then making demands—I’m learning that. While I’m here, I absolutely need to pick up some new ways to snag hubby’s attention."

Listening to Soul Gu Qingcheng’s jealous rambling, Gu Qingcheng’s lips twitched again.

"Wait, are you really going to learn that?"

"Are you seriously using moves even desperate groupies would use?" Gu Qingcheng said in her mind, deadpan.

Soul Gu Qingcheng replied matter-of-factly, "Duh, why else would I bother learning it?"

"Yeah, I just hope hubby won’t be so cold. If I use these little tricks, maybe he’ll at least notice me, otherwise I can’t even put them to use."

Gu Qingcheng, "..."

*Even my future self is simping this hard!*

*She’s using all these embarrassing moves, but she’s still worried whether the guy will even give her the time of day!*

*Such humiliation!*

*Me, Hang City Empress, reduced to this kind of pitiful woman!*

Xiao Ye patted Ziran’s flat butt and said, "My turn next."

Ziran nodded obediently, "’Kay."

Gu Qingcheng’s expression sharpened, her gaze locking onto Xiao Ye.

*This guy was finally about to take action!*

*Fine, let me see what makes this man so damn special that my future self would simp so hard for him.*

Xiao Ye’s eyes swept over the fifty halved Creation-type Demon Beasts and he waved his hand.

[Template Adjuster activated, Rule Fragment Crystal extraction function engaged]

[Select extraction target: Creation-type Rule Fragment Crystal]

Boom!

An almighty power descended, covering every Demon Beast that had just died.

Those Demon Beasts suddenly started convulsing, like they’d been hit by utter terror, and half a second later, decay spread across their bodies, flesh crumbling, then they dissolved into little lights, fading away into the air.

[Extracted 30 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals from Grandmaster Realm Creation-type Demon Beasts]

[Extracted 40 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals from Grandmaster Realm Demon Beasts]

[Deposited into storage space]

Xiao Ye clapped his hands and grinned, "All done."

Ziran leaned over and gave him a loud smooch on the cheek, "Xiao Ye, you’re awesome!"

Gu Qingcheng, "???"

*Tons of question marks popped up above her head.*

*What’s going on, she hadn’t sensed any power at all, didn’t see this guy use any Innate Skill.*

*All she saw was him waving his hand, and those Demon Beasts’ bodies were ruined, then turned to ashes.*

*Gu Qingcheng was shocked deep down—could it be, this man who made her future self simp so hard, was really even better than she was?*

*So amazing that even she, a Great Power at peak Saint Realm, couldn’t tell what he’d just done?*

*Right then, Gu Qingcheng was absolutely bursting with curiosity—curiosity about Xiao Ye.*
