NOVEL NEXT Chapter 614: What happened to Lao Gu? (Request for follow-up)
"Are you Gu Qingcheng, Sister Qingcheng?"
"Did you come back to life?"
Xiao Ye was overjoyed, his eyes running up and down Gu Qingcheng's perfect body.
Gu Qingcheng's soul had collapsed before, completely annihilated, her body utterly destroyed.
*Who would have thought, now she looked so alive, so full of life energy.*
Gu Qingcheng's gaze swept over him, radiating confidence, as she said,
"Open your hands."
Xiao Ye dumbfoundedly opened his hands.
Gu Qingcheng threw herself into his arms, hugging him, resting her head on his shoulder, her tone complicated and full of longing as she said,
"Hubby, I thought I'd never see you again. I thought I was going to die for real that time."
"It's so great to still be alive and see you again!"
Xiao Ye wrapped his arms around her slender, smooth waist and used his divine sense to check her over.
He found that Gu Qingcheng's soul was now completely whole, her soul power incredibly strong, her body still pure and untouched. The only imperfection was her soul age had reached six thousand five hundred years.
*That meant Gu Qingcheng had spent five thousand years in the future!*
*That was over three times longer than her fifteen hundred years lived in this era!*
Gu Qingcheng noticed his little trick and protested playfully,
"Hubby, I'm completely revived, it was my future self who brought me back."
"And in the future, I didn't do anything naughty with your future self, I didn't put a future green hat on you."
*Did I just cuckold myself?*
Xiao Ye's mouth twitched, "I trust you completely, I've never worried about that."
"Both your soul and body are perfectly intact, I can tell."
"So, you saw my future self when you were in the future?"
Gu Qingcheng puffed up her cheeks in frustration and scolded, "See my ass, you jerk. You kept dodging me in the future, I wanted to meet your future self so bad but never even got the chance!"
"I just wanted to see how the future you had grown, if you'd changed in appearance."
"But you, you big jerk, acted like you were deliberately avoiding me. I stayed in the future for five thousand years and never saw your future self even once!"
"My future self even joked that maybe you'd already cut yourself off and become a eunuch, so she never planned to see me."
Xiao Ye's mouth twitched again.
Gu Qingcheng pulled out the Space-Time Travel Pearl and put it in his hand.
"Hubby, there's a letter from your future self inside here too. I couldn't get the envelope open, maybe you should read it."
"Seriously, it's ridiculous. I'm not some plague, but your future self still didn't dare to face me!"
Xiao Ye took a letter out from the Space-Time Travel Pearl.
On the envelope it said, 'Xiao Ye, open in person.'
He tore open the envelope and took out the letter.
He encountered no resistance whatsoever.
[To Xiao Ye of the past,]
[Stop collecting so many beast girls and divine spirits, I can't handle them all!]
[Also, I have my own Gu Qingcheng, I don't care for your Gu Qingcheng!]
[And most importantly, don't castrate yourself, I'm not practicing the Exorcism Sword Manual!]
[——Xiao Ye from the future]
Gu Qingcheng's beautiful eyes were confused as she muttered,
"What did he say? Why can't I see anything?"
In her vision, the letter was completely blank, just a sheet of white paper, not a single character on it.
Xiao Ye stuffed the letter back into the envelope, tossed it into the Space-Time Travel Pearl, and laughed,
"He said he's got his own Gu Qingcheng, isn't interested in mine, and told me not to castrate myself."
Gu Qingcheng scoffed, "Like I'd be interested in him! He's got a lot of nerve."
"I only wanted to meet him, it's not like I was going to do anything. I was just curious what the future you looks like."
"Like, did you become a greasy old uncle, all scruffy and fat?"
"Then I could come back and put you on a diet or whatever!"
"I only like the current you. The future you? Gross!"
Xiao Ye looked weirded out.
*What was it with beast girls all thinking his future self was gross?*
*Ziran thought so, Yun Bing and Yunxi too, and now Gu Qingcheng was the same.*
*His future self and current self, weren't they the same person? They were both Xiao Ye!*
He shook his head, his hand absentmindedly brushing along her body. To his shock, he realized Gu Qingcheng's current body seemed to be crafted from some top-tier Supreme Treasure, radiating a mystical, unfathomable aura.
It wasn't a divine spirit's body, but it could rival one—pure and holy.
Not only that, Gu Qingcheng's skin had gotten even softer, and her coloring had become even more delicate and pink.
"You spent so long in the future, what did you see, what did you do?"
Xiao Ye quietly slipped his hand inside her white robe.
Gu Qingcheng's pretty face flushed, but she didn't stop him. She called up her memories, her eyes flashing with awe, then began slowly,
"The future us all became the supreme beings of the universe, ruling countless multiverses."
"We were worshiped by every race in the universe, served by all the Multiverse Controllers."
"We walked on the river of time itself, beyond the very Dao Origin."
"Actually, I didn't spend long out there. Most of my days were spent restoring my body and soul. Only a handful of days did I interact with the outside world."
Suddenly, she grabbed hold of Xiao Ye's lifeline tightly, gritting her teeth as she said,
"Hubby, I saw all your future beast girls, divine spirits, world spirits, and Cosmic Controllers."
"There were way too many!"
"My future self had to line up just to see you once!"
"Do you believe I'll crush it right now, make sure you never collect any more divine spirits or whatever?"
Xiao Ye glanced at her calmly, face utterly unruffled, and said lightly,
"If you're really willing, go ahead and squeeze."
Gu Qingcheng locked eyes with him, their dark eyes refusing to look away.
It was Gu Qingcheng who gave in first, letting go and sighing,
"Forget it, I can't bring myself to do it."
"If you became a eunuch, what would happen to my future happiness?"
"Oh, right, where's Old Gu? Where did she go?"
Xiao Ye's smile froze, "Uh, she hasn't regained her memories yet. She's not called Old Gu right now—she's the Fate Divine Spirit."
Gu Qingcheng looked shocked, "But when I came back last night, I saw you two sleeping together."
"Old Gu still hasn't gotten her memories back!"
"Tsk tsk, hubby, your charm's something else, making Old Gu fall for you all over again."
With a flash of white light, a golden light gate appeared beside them.
Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyao, Liu Ya, Mu Qingxue, Qin Xi'Er, Huangfu Xiangling, and Jiang Xue'an walked out from the Space-Time Hall.
The seven of them appeared on Blue Star, and in that instant, Blue Star and even the Milky Way Galaxy shook several times.
Six were at the Emperor Realm, third stage, Perfection.
Jiang Xue'an had even broken through to the early Star Domain Realm!
Their bodies had become crystalline and transparent, origin power flowing through them, and their eyes seemed to pierce everything.
Xiao Ye and Gu Qingcheng were left stunned.
Gu Qingcheng's realm was still at Saint Realm Perfection.
*But seeing those elegant, absolutely stunning beauties, both her heart and body couldn't stop trembling.*
Cheng Bingxi and the other girls restrained their auras. Their beautiful eyes lit up, and they hurried to gather around.
Jiang Xue'an flung herself straight onto Gu Qingcheng, overjoyed,
"Mistress, you've finally come back to life, that's wonderful."
Gu Qingcheng smiled, "In the future, I restored my soul and body and got to see the sights there."
"Honestly, you all surprised me even more. The time aura around you is so strong, as if we hadn't met in tens of thousands of years."
Cheng Bingxi gave Xiao Ye a resentful look and quipped,
"We trained for nearly thirty thousand years in the Space-Time Hall and this guy never came to check on us."
The ultra-ripened, mature lady Nangong Siyao grumbled, "Xiao Ye, you big jerk, all you care about is enjoying the cultivation feedback and won't train with us."
"Good thing we stayed focused while cultivating, our minds completely blank, otherwise we would've died of boredom!"
