66: You used to call me Little Mingyue, but now you call me Miss, right?

Huh!?

Gu Yuan stared blankly at Nether Moon as she stepped onto the stage.

Wait, Nether Moon, you don't actually think I wouldn't recognize you just because you changed your appearance, do you?

The System is literally displaying the four big words 'Fated Heroine' right above your head.

Indeed, when facing a Fated Heroine, the System would automatically display her identity and name.

This function had been a great help to Gu Yuan in the past.

And the most crucial point was that the appearance-altering item Nether Moon was using was something Gu Yuan had given her himself... Meanwhile, as Nether Moon stepped onto the stage, Dongfang Yingxue's brows furrowed slightly.

Who is this woman...?

She didn't recognize her. Or could it be... another woman provoked by that Rebellious Disciple, Gu Yuan?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yingxue looked at Gu Yuan with an unfriendly gaze.

Seeing Gu Yuan's strange expression only confirmed her suspicions further.

Damnable Gu Yuan, you really have provoked quite a lot of women!

Many Cultivators below the Qiongyue Terrace were looking at each other in confusion.

Who is this woman?

She actually dared to confront the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect... However, regardless of the circumstances, many Cultivators were quite pleased to see this scene.

After all, the words Gu Yuan had spoken earlier were simply too punchable.

But most Cultivators truly had no way to deal with him.

Setting aside the heavenly phenomena he caused, just hearing the Sect Elders mention his cultivation level was enough.

He was a powerhouse of the Guiyu Realm!

My god, in the Qihuang Continent, those in the Guiyu Realm can already serve as Sect Elders.

Yet this Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect was already in the Guiyu Realm at such a young age.

This talent was simply too much of a Prodigy.

Going up to challenge him would likely just be making a fool of oneself.

Fortunately, this woman had stepped out to take the lead, and many Cultivators held a glimmer of expectation in their hearts.

After all, if this woman didn't have some level of confidence, she presumably wouldn't dare to step onto the stage.

Xia Gehuang pressed her forehead, a long-lost feeling of helplessness rising in her heart.

Seriously, Little Fellow, you really know how to attract women.

Even though Nether Moon used an item to change her appearance,

who was Xia Gehuang? She saw through it at a glance; the woman on stage was that Demon Venerable.

Furthermore... the way this contemporary Demon Venerable looked at Gu Yuan was very unusual.

Tsk... first the origin of the great dao, then that Demon Emperor, and now this Demon Venerable... Little Fellow, just how many more surprises are you going to bring me?

Chi Lin's brow furrowed slightly as she prepared herself to intervene at any moment.

She could sense that the woman on stage was very strong; even an Emperor might not be her match.

Strange, how has This Cult Master never heard of such a powerhouse?

“Revered Master, who is that woman? Could she be someone Gu Yuan provoked in the past? Otherwise, why do I feel like the way she looks at Gu Yuan is very off!”

Yun Qingci tugged at her Revered Master's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Her Revered Master had just made an appearance on stage and then stepped down with Valley Master Liu.

After all, the protagonist today was still Gu Yuan.

Di Luoying hadn't thought much of it at first, but hearing Qing Ci say this, her beautiful eyes instantly gained a few hints of coldness.

What Qing Ci said seemed to make some sense... “This Venerable doesn't recognize her either. Let's keep watching. Gu Yuan... hmph...”

Di Luoying pursed her lips and gave a light hmph.

Yun Qingci looked at her Revered Master with a bit of strangeness.

Why does it feel like every time Gu Yuan is mentioned, Revered Master becomes a bit weird...?

Ignoring the gazes of the crowd below the stage,

Nether Moon just stared blankly at Gu Yuan in front of her.

At this moment, it seemed as if only the two of them remained in the entire world.

So that's it, that's it. Why didn't I realize it before?

It turns out the person I've been bitterly searching for has been by my side all along... Hehe... A hint of grievance appeared in Nether Moon's eyes as she looked at Gu Yuan.

However, as the Ruler of the Endless Demon Domain and the Demon Venerable who looked down upon the world,

how could she easily show a weak side?

Especially... in front of him!

Thinking of this, Nether Moon bit her lip lightly and forced herself to regain her composure.

“What, Young Sect Master Gu was so arrogant just now, yet now you don't dare to accept this young lady's challenge?”

Hearing this, Gu Yuan looked at Nether Moon with a bit of trepidation.

The strange expression that had flashed across Nether Moon's face, combined with her coming up to challenge him for no reason... it made Gu Yuan feel a bit worried.

Nether Moon... she couldn't have recognized me, right?

It shouldn't be possible; my disguise should be perfect... Wait... Gu Yuan's face suddenly stiffened slightly.

Because he suddenly remembered.

The disguise he had always thought was perfect had actually been seen through by Luoying and Xi Nian... Um... if that's the case, then it doesn't seem all that strange if Nether Moon recognized him too?

“Wh-Why wouldn't I dare? Is the young lady prepared?”

Gu Yuan said, biting the bullet.

Even if Nether Moon recognized him, he couldn't show anything.

After all, today was the day he became the Young Sect Master of the Jade Moon Sect.

Gu Yuan absolutely could not let any accidents happen.

Young lady... Hearing Gu Yuan's form of address, Nether Moon gave a cold laugh.

Good, very good. You used to dotingly call me Little Nether Moon, and now you're calling me 'young lady,' are you?

Hehe... Fine, Gu Yuan, you're really something...!

In an instant, the aura around Nether Moon surged violently.

However, she still had some restraint and did not reveal her strength and aura as the Demon Venerable.

Nether Moon suppressed her strength to the same Guiyu Realm as Gu Yuan, then said with a cold smile:

“Young Sect Master Gu is truly confident. Then, no more words are needed—take this move!”

Having said that, Nether Moon spoke no more and her figure rushed toward Gu Yuan like a bolt of lightning.

Uh... Gu Yuan was a bit dazed.

He didn't expect Nether Moon to charge in so decisively. What was she trying to do...?

But before he could react, in the next moment, Nether Moon actually hugged him directly.

Huh!?

Everyone present was dumbfounded. For a moment, the entire Qiongyue Terrace fell into a deathly silence.

Wait... can someone tell me what is going on right now?

Didn't they agree on a challenge?

And the tone that woman used just now seemed like she extremely disliked Gu Yuan.

So how is it that in the next moment, you just went and hugged him?

This is way too ridiculous!

Not just the others, even Gu Yuan himself was stunned.

He had imagined countless possibilities, but he never thought Nether Moon would hug him in front of so many people.

What... what is she trying to do...?

“Hehe, This Venerable suddenly remembered that even defeating you in front of so many people wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in my heart. But like this...”

Nether Moon stuck out her little tongue and licked Gu Yuan's earlobe, her voice soft and seductive:

“This Venerable wants to see how you'll explain this to those little lovers of yours, hehehe...”
