168: blueprint

"Xi Nian, the Tomb of the Lost is opening this time; why don't you come inside with us?"

After Gu Yuan told Chi Lin about the Sea of Stars...

Chi Lin immediately headed for the Sea of Stars.

As the Sect Master of the Jin Mie Cult and a member of the Qihuang Continent, she naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Besides, it was Gu Yuan who had told her.

Of course, the most important point was that Chi Lin heard the women who were closely related to this fellow Gu Yuan all seemed to be over there.

As the Sovereign's Sect Master, she naturally had to go and assert her status!

Mmh... before Chi Lin left, she still squeezed Gu Yuan dry before finally departing.

Of course, that was just Chi Lin's one-sided feeling.

The truth was... Gu Yuan had still conquered her defenses, and she was even stumbling a bit when she finally left.

Now, Gu Yuan had also found Xi Nian and told her about the Tomb of the Lost.

Once the Tomb of the Lost opened, it would be a grand event for the entire continent.

Almost every Sect would send out their Disciples and Elders.

Furthermore, there were no entry requirements for the Tomb of the Lost; Cultivators of any cultivation level could enter.

Because of this, many small and medium-sized Sects, and even their Sect Masters, would go in person.

After all, the Tomb of the Lost was a rare occurrence. If one found a bit of Opportunity inside, they might be able to lead their Sect to soar to the heavens.

This was not without precedent in the history of the Qihuang Continent.

It couldn't be helped; the Heaven And Earth Treasures and various resources hidden within the Tomb of the Lost were simply too numerous.

If one was lucky enough to obtain one or two, it would be the ultimate chance to break through their social class.

Xi Nian nodded gently after hearing Gu Yuan's words.

"That would be for the best. However, Gu Yuan, I wonder who else you plan to bring along~?"

Xi Nian changed the subject, her gaze drifting toward Gu Yuan.

Uh... Gu Yuan blinked blankly at the sight.

"No... no one else, right? At most, it's just Little Noodle and Tian Mei...? *Cough*, yeah, that's right..."

Seeing Gu Yuan still playing dumb, Xi Nian gave him a somewhat amused roll of her eyes.

"I heard from Qing Ci. Hmph, Gu Yuan, your methods of attracting women are truly in a league of their own. Demon Venerable... Demon Emperor... Hmph, is there any woman in this world you don't dare to provoke? I... Ah... what are you doing..."

Xi Nian spoke with a hint of jealousy.

Before she could finish, Gu Yuan pulled her into his arms and said mischievously:

"Is the Little Saintess jealous? But I think the Little Saintess isn't any worse than them compared to them~"

Mmh... being held in Gu Yuan's arms, Xi Nian felt her body go a bit soft.

Upon hearing his words, she felt both annoyed and amused, giving Gu Yuan's chest a light thump.

"Hmph, you only know how to bully me, you philanderer."

Gu Yuan caught her mischievous hand, gave it a gentle kiss, and said with a chuckle:

"Who said I only bully you? I'm going to bully that Little Noodle too. Dammit, she's talking bad about me in your ear every day, isn't she? She's still my little maid right now!"

*Pfft*... Xi Nian couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

It was always so amusing between Gu Yuan and Qing Ci.

"By the way, has there been any movement from the book of heavenly judgment during this time?"

Gu Yuan suddenly remembered this and asked curiously.

When he took Yun Qingci to the Sea of Stars, he had left the book of heavenly judgment with Xi Nian and the others.

Now that he was back, Gu Yuan had almost forgotten about it.

Xi Nian shook her head and said softly:

"There's been no unusual movement; it feels no different from an ordinary book."

Is that so... Gu Yuan didn't bother with it further after hearing that.

What's meant to come will come; if this book truly holds any secrets, he would find out eventually.

"Speaking of which, Gu Yuan, it seems the people from the Jin Mie Cult have been looking for you lately. Heehee, after all, you are their Lord Sovereign~"

Xi Nian remembered this and spoke teasingly.

Hm?

Gu Yuan just lightly tapped Xi Nian's forehead.

"If you could call me 'Lord' a few more times at night, hehe, I would like it very much."

Ptooie~

Xi Nian's face flushed, and she gave Gu Yuan an annoyed look.

This guy was just that bad; he could turn any conversation into something indecent.

Gu Yuan was only joking with Xi Nian, and then he went to find Xiao Meng.

After all, with Chi Lin gone, Xiao Meng, as the Chief Steward of the Jin Mie Cult, was the primary person in charge.

Mmh... that doesn't seem right either; there's still me, the Sovereign.

Gu Yuan thought to himself as he looked at Xiao Meng, who was obediently massaging his shoulders, her cute face full of joy.

"Cough, alright, alright. You're not a little maid. As the grand Chief Steward of the Jin Mie Cult, how can you do the work of a maid?"

Gu Yuan put down his teacup and said with amusement.

Xiao Meng just giggled upon hearing that.

Then, she actually sat directly in Gu Yuan's lap.

She wrapped her arms around Gu Yuan's neck, blinked her eyes, and said:

"The Lord Sovereign is right~ This is what Xiao Meng should be doing, right? Mmh..."

Feeling Gu Yuan's large hands roaming over her body, Xiao Meng bit her lip, her beautiful eyes filled with affection.

"You, aren't you afraid Chi Lin will give you a hard time if she finds out?"

Gu Yuan blew a breath into Xiao Meng's ear and said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Xiao Meng just wiggled her bottom to find the most comfortable position and said lazily:

"The Sect Master isn't here, after all. Besides, even if she finds out, at most she'll just spank me. Heehee~ does the Lord Sovereign want to try...?"

Xiao Meng's eyes sparkled, her tone carrying a hint of charm.

At the same time, she grabbed Gu Yuan's hand and made it... mm... mm... Gu Yuan followed her lead and very skillfully... began.

This little girl is getting more and more provocative.

Xiao Meng leaned on Gu Yuan's shoulder, her eyes misty as she bit her lip and murmured:

"Lord Sovereign... I, I missed you so much... Mmh, even compared to the Sect Master, my longing for you is not any less!"

This silly girl... Gu Yuan shook his head gently.

"Alright, we can continue the rest later. I heard from Xi Nian that you were looking for me. Did something happen?"

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Xiao Meng leaned shyly against Gu Yuan's chest.

"Mmh... it's nothing much. I just wanted to ask the Lord Sovereign to take a look at the current blueprint of the Jin Mie Cult to see if it's as the Lord Sovereign originally envisioned."

Oh?

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's expression became a bit more serious.

He let go of Xiao Meng, and the latter gave a cheerful wave of her hand.

In the next moment, a blueprint appeared before Gu Yuan, showing a detailed regional plan of the Qihuang Continent.
