Chapter 20 The Dragon Vein Is Exhausted, What’s the Use of Emperor’s Body

As the members of the Gu family congratulated Gu Changsheng on his breakthrough in cultivation, a sudden sound of something tearing through the air came from the distant sky. Following this, a streak of light descended, revealing a figure.

This person was tall, clad in golden armor, with divine light radiating from him, giving him an extraordinary and majestic appearance. A unique sword-and-blade pattern adorned his chest. He was none other than a member of the Gu family’s patrol team.

The patrol team was responsible for monitoring the area surrounding the Gu family, slaying any intruders who dared to come near.

“Greetings, Divine Son,” the visitor said first, bowing respectfully toward Gu Changsheng, before continuing, “The woman outside the mountain gate has been kneeling for three days and nights. I believe she will soon collapse from exhaustion and faint. I came to inform the Divine Son.”

A woman kneeling for three days and nights outside the mountain gate?

Gu Changsheng was unaware of such an occurrence.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Do you know who this woman is?”

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and a slender figure appeared in his mind’s eye. His gaze narrowed. It was highly likely to be the Ninth Princess of the Jingyang Empire, Chu Yaoyue.

After being rejected by him, it turned out that she hadn’t left but had been kneeling there the entire time.

But what is she thinking? Is she begging for something?

Gu Changsheng couldn’t quite grasp the woman’s logic.

“All right, I understand,” he said, waving his hand, signaling for the man to leave.

The others, seeing his gesture, wisely dispersed. They dared not intervene in matters related to the Divine Son.

Outside the Gu family’s mountain gate, Chu Yaoyue was dressed in a purple gown. Her beautiful face bore a calm expression, and she knelt quietly, though her slightly pale complexion betrayed that she was in poor condition.

Occasionally, a streak of light would pass by, and passersby would point and gossip from a distance, showing expressions of shock, confusion, and mockery.

Chu Yaoyue, already overjoyed by his appearance, dared not ask for more. She quickly spoke, “Yaoyue would like to apologize to the Divine Son for the disrespectful act three days ago.”

Gu Changsheng remained expressionless. “There’s no need for apologies. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

He hadn’t even fully understood what she considered disrespectful.

But that didn’t matter.

Chu Yaoyue sighed in relief at his indifferent response and continued, “Yaoyue understands that I displeased the Divine Son that day. After much thought, I feel deep regret. I ask the Divine Son to give me another chance.”

Gu Changsheng’s expression softened slightly. “So that’s what it’s about. But I already made myself clear back then. You’re not as good as them.”

Chu Yaoyue’s face turned pale, and she refused to accept it. “Could the Divine Son please tell me the specific reason?”

Even now, she didn’t understand why she wasn’t as good as Su Xiaoxuan and Tuoba Siyu.

Gu Changsheng looked at her before speaking faintly, “You possess the Emperor’s body, with the Nine-Five Supreme aura, and you’ve cultivated the Royal Dragon Extremes Sutra. At a young age, you already have the power to break through the Ninth Transformation of the Earth Cracking Realm. However, the royal family’s dragon vein is almost exhausted, and the future is already ruined.”

“With that, how can you compare to others?”

In just a few short sentences, Gu Changsheng had seen through everything about Chu Yaoyue, and her face turned even paler, drained of all color.

The Royal Dragon Extremes Sutra was intricately linked to the Jingyang Empire’s dragon vein, and if the dragon vein were to break, all her years of cultivation would go to waste, leaving her like a rootless weed.

That was why Chu Yaoyue was willing to sacrifice her pride to preserve the Jingyang Empire.

Unfortunately, Gu Changsheng had already seen through it all.

“Divine Son, if you can help Jingyang overcome this crisis, no matter what conditions you set, we will agree. You will be the greatest benefactor to the people of Jingyang,” Chu Yaoyue said, desperate. She had no other choice but to say this.

She knew that a mere Jingyang Empire was insignificant to the Gu family.

Gu Changsheng certainly wouldn’t care.
