Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Supreme Behemoth: Meeting the Matriarch! (Please follow)

As she said this, future Gu Qingcheng’s face carried a look of resolve, and in the beautiful eyes she revealed, there was already a death wish.

The Bronze Hall projected a blue Light Gate, and Ziran hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ye, entering the Bronze Hall together within the blink of an eye.

Inside the Bronze Hall, Ziran let out a sigh of relief and said,

"With Qingcheng’s current realm, if she went all out, she should be able to escape back to Blue Star."

"You don’t have to worry too much."

Xiao Ye felt there was some logic to this after hearing her, and he glanced at Ziran—only to see how deeply worried and anxious her pretty face was.

?

*You’re telling me not to worry, but your fists are clenched and you look like you’re about to break out in sweat from nerves!*

Outside, future Gu Qingcheng’s expression grew grim. All around her, up and down, left and right, more than a thousand Saint Realm Deep Sea Giant Beasts had already appeared.

The eyes of those Deep Sea Giant Beasts were locked tightly on her. With their enormous bodies radiating terrifying auras, it felt as though the whole section of the ocean was about to scream in agony.

Standing at nearly six feet tall, future Gu Qingcheng looked utterly tiny in front of these sea beasts, each at least five thousand meters long.

But the last-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm aura exploding from her body deterred the Deep Sea Giant Beasts; they did not dare get closer and stayed over a kilometer away, unwilling to take a single step forward.

"Boom!"

Future Gu Qingcheng unleashed all her might, tearing at the space ahead.

The space in front quaked violently, the restrictions on it shattering with crackling sounds.

Her gorgeous, delicate face shone with delight, and she threw all her strength into breaking open the space ahead.

But those broken restrictions instantly returned to their original form.

Future Gu Qingcheng’s face changed.

"This has to be a world-sealing restriction set by a Quasi-Emperor Realm Supreme Treasure at Perfection!"

"It’s almost impossible to get out!"

Different Supreme Treasures had different exclusive functions—some were for defense, some for attack, some for restriction.

The Bronze Hall was a supreme treasure for collecting and capturing.

At the same level, supreme treasures had different functions and different strengths. If the Bronze Hall took repeated hits from a Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection Sea Beast, it would surely be damaged and smashed into bronze fragments.

At the same realm, the Bronze Hall’s defensive power definitely couldn’t compare with that of defensive-type supreme treasures.

Future Gu Qingcheng refused to give up. She kept summoning every ounce of her strength, trying to crack the world restriction and then tear open space to escape.

Again and again she tried, and again and again she failed.

And all around her, Quasi-Emperor Realm Deep Sea Giant Beasts started to gather.

After dozens of tries, the look of despair grew in future Gu Qingcheng’s eyes. In her mind, she said,

"Qingcheng, we’re about to die."

"Do you have any regrets?"

Gu Qingcheng went silent. A few seconds later, she said, "If I had the chance, I’d like to find a man, to see what being with a man feels like."

"Honestly, when you kissed and touched me, I felt something new and joyful, something I’d never felt before. And the way it felt in my hand, that was incredible, too."

"Honestly, these words—I’d never have said them, but now, if I don’t, there’ll be no chance!"

Future Gu Qingcheng smiled, "Find a man? You mean my husband?"

"Seeing how well I know myself, your best choice—the man you secretly want—must be Xiao Ye, right!"

Gu Qingcheng blushed and didn’t deny it, "That’s right!"

"My best sisters are already married to him, so why can’t I marry him, too."

Future Gu Qingcheng laughed happily, "You finally accept my husband wholeheartedly. Too bad it looks like we won’t get the chance."

Gu Qingcheng sighed, "If I could do it all over, I’d say, Xiao Ye, I want to be your Beast Girl!"

Future Gu Qingcheng went silent.

At that moment, even more Quasi-Emperor Realm middle and late-stage Deep Sea Giant Beasts appeared outside.

But strangely, those high realm sea beasts stood over ten kilometers away from future Gu Qingcheng, not taking a single step forward.

Even so, their vast power radiated from their massive bodies, warping the nearby sea water and making it tremble and quiver, as if it were weeping and wailing!

A voice from Ziran echoed from the Bronze Hall, urgent, "Qingcheng, why not take the Bronze Hall and escape to land, or up to the sky—see if you can break the world restriction and flee through a spatial rift?"

"Or use your current late-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm strength to leave this spot, get far from these sea beasts. At their speed, they shouldn’t be able to catch up to you."

"Even if a Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection Deep Sea Giant Beast does catch up, it’ll be much easier for you, and you won’t have to worry about sea beasts sneaking up from behind."

Future Gu Qingcheng shook her head and said, "We’ve already been boxed in by Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection sea beasts. My guess is, there’s a barrier blocking every thousand meters—otherwise, those Saint Realm sea beasts would have rushed us already."

At that, Ziran and Xiao Ye inside the Bronze Hall both grew quiet.

*Looks like this time, we’re really doomed—life or death, who knows!*

*But Xiao Ye still felt confused. In moments of life and death, he usually could foresee something with his time-related Talent Skills, able to sense danger and see glimpses of the future.*

*But this time, he felt nothing—his foreknowledge talent hadn’t passively activated at all.*

*That meant he wasn’t facing a crisis, and neither were his Beast Girls.*

*But no matter how he looked at it, this sure looks like a life-and-death situation!*

*More than two thousand Saint Realm, two hundred Quasi-Emperor Realm, and Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection sea beasts, all of them siege us with world restriction—there’s no way he and his Beast Girls could resolve this.*

All of a sudden, future Gu Qingcheng asked, "Xiao Ye, there’s something I have to say to you."

Xiao Ye was taken aback, "What?"

*Ziran was baffled. Besties had something to say, not to her, but to Xiao Ye?*

Future Gu Qingcheng asked, "Xiao Ye, deep down, do you really hate me?"

Xiao Ye shook his head, "No, ever since Sister Qingcheng accepted me, I haven’t disliked her."

Future Gu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Good, as long as you don’t."

"But deep down, you’re still resisting me—a little, right?"

Xiao Ye was silent for two seconds. *Resisting? Maybe. In his heart, he might still carry stereotypes about the Hang City Empress, just subconsciously feeling this was someone he shouldn’t get too close to, shouldn’t let in too deep.*

Future Gu Qingcheng paused, then said, "Xiao Ye, I hope you can let go of your resistance to me. I, Gu Qingcheng, just like Ziran, Xiaobing, and Xiaoxi, am a normal woman."

"What I give you, you have to accept. A promise to protect you all—that’s a promise I’ll always keep!"

"We’re family!"

Ziran, hearing this, felt like she was listening to a best friend’s dying words, and her beautiful eyes grew red, her face turning mournful.

Xiao Ye was quiet. The Hang City Empress had put it this way—he really couldn’t say nothing now.

"Sister Qingcheng, I get it. From now on, I’ll treat you like family—no more resistance in my heart!"

Hearing that, future Gu Qingcheng seemed to let go of a massive burden. Real joy blossomed from her face.

"Good. With those words, I can die in peace!"

At that moment, a Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection Giant Beast glittering with starlight came slowly from the distance.

Every Deep Sea Giant Beast within a kilometer of Gu Qingcheng showed deference and awe in their eyes, clearing a broad path for the starlit Quasi-Emperor Perfection Giant Beast to pass through.

The starlit Quasi-Emperor Perfection Giant Beast walked forward calmly, one step crossing the kilometer to stand in front of Gu Qingcheng.

Then an astonishing scene occurred.

It lowered its head in submission before future Gu Qingcheng, its gaze full of awe as it said respectfully, "Your servant Starshine pays respects to Mistress!"

???

The grave-faced future Gu Qingcheng looked utterly stunned.

Inside the Sea of Spirit, Gu Qingcheng had question marks popping from her head.

Ziran was baffled.

Xiao Ye’s face froze as well.

*Uh, what the hell is this?*
