Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Gu Qingcheng: Just Whisper It to Me (Please Follow)

Xiao Ye and Ziran were both stunned.

*His future self, and Qingcheng, were so shameless together?*

*But right now, he, Xiao Ye, and the Hang City Empress, were as pure as can be, not a shred of ambiguity between them.*

"Mmmph mmmph mmmph!" Jiang Xue’an’s little mouth was covered.

Qingcheng’s face turned bright red—in embarrassment, her beautiful eyes glaring, as she said, "Xiaonannan, shut up!"

"Keep talking, and I won’t want you anymore."

Jiang Xue’an panicked, pried the hand away, and hurriedly nodded, "I won’t say anything, I won’t say anything, Mistress, please don’t abandon Xiaonannan."

*It had been so hard to see Master and Mistress again, so hard to follow them both. She really didn’t want to go back to being all alone in the world.*

Qingcheng turned, only to see Xiao Ye and Ziran regarding her with an odd expression.

"Uh, the weather’s really nice today."

She looked up at the sky, a little awkward.

The Magma King Beast chimed in, "With all this yellow sand filling the air and not a sky to be seen, how’s the weather good? Humans are weird, lying through their teeth like it’s nothing."

Jiang Xue’an’s eyes shot wide, "You shut up!"

The Magma King Beast, "..."

*Even Ancestor had gotten weird all of a sudden.*

The Rock King Beast and Frozen King Beast hurriedly dragged the Magma King Beast away, whispering, "Let’s catch up and reminisce; your brain really is hopelessly dense, can’t you see Ancestor’s relationship with them?"

"Watch out or Ancestor’ll lose it and beat you up!"

The Magma King Beast shrank its neck and slipped away even faster.

*In his subconscious, the Sea God Ancestor was just an invincible force—no sea beast on Blue Star could beat him.*

Qingcheng pulled Jiang Xue’an to the side, glanced at Xiao Ye in the distance, then whispered to Jiang Xue’an,

"Did I really... do those things with Xiao Ye?"

Jiang Xue’an mumbled, "Mistress, you told me to shut up."

Qingcheng’s face darkened, "I’m telling you to talk now—just whisper it so only I hear!"

Jiang Xue’an giggled, then said, "Yeah, Mistress’s relationship with Master is kinda odd right now, but twenty thousand years ago, you two were basically glued together, always holding hands wherever you went! I followed right behind, felt like the third wheel all the time."

*Qingcheng went silent. Silent for several seconds before she accepted it and asked,* "So what did he call me back then?"

Jiang Xue’an thought carefully, "He called you Little Qingcheng."

Little Qingcheng?

*Qingcheng’s pretty face flushed—that sounded super intimate.*

*Qingcheng’s Divine Soul, inside the Sea of Spirit, looked utterly conflicted—happy and teary-eyed at once—joy trickling from the corner of her eye. After everything she’d done, her future self had finally gotten what she wanted.*

*No more being a resentful wife, guarding an empty room day and night!*

*She finally got her husband’s pampering and love!*

*Now, she could finally use the Treasure of Space-Time to return a hundred years in the future.*

*But after witnessing Xiaogu and Xiao Ye meeting, their relationship changing, and even helping guide them together...*

*She wanted to see, with her own eyes, Xiaogu and Xiao Ye truly get together.*

*She had real feelings in the present time now, didn’t want to leave so quickly.*

*If she could see the two of them truly come together and form a contract...*

*That would mean more than going back a hundred years, only to be absorbed by her main self’s soul anyway—which was totally inevitable.*

"Xiaogu, do you want me to go back to the future now?" she asked inside the Sea of Spirit.

Qingcheng didn’t hesitate at all, just blurted out, "Don’t go!"

Her tone was a little intense.

"If you go, how am I supposed to chase Xiao Ye?"

"I seriously suck at chasing guys."

*Qingcheng’s Divine Soul listened quietly, the corners of her mouth curling up in real delight.*

Qingcheng blurted the two sentences, then her face changed, saying, "Sorry. You probably really want to go back, right? After all, Xiao Ye and you are already so close in the future, and when you go back, you’ll finally get to enjoy what it’s like to have a man."

"I’m being way too selfish, making you stay now."

The Divine Soul Qingcheng laughed, saying, "It’s fine. I’ll stay as long as you want me to—whenever you get sick of me, I’ll go back to the future."

Qingcheng was overjoyed, "Old Gu, thank you! I’ll never get sick of you."

"If I really get with Xiao Ye, I’ll let you take control of the body, and... spend the wedding night with Xiao Ye."

The Divine Soul Qingcheng’s eyes grew wide, swallowing nervously, "Really?"

Qingcheng hesitated, "Um... how about, I take care of the wedding night, and you can have him the morning after?"

The Divine Soul Qingcheng said, "No problem!"

Jiang Xue’an watched her Mistress zone out again, totally unable to guess that Qingcheng was spouting such scandalous talk, plotting something earth-shattering.

She just thought her Mistress was acting weird these days—spacing out constantly.

Off to the side, Ziran tugged on Xiao Ye and teased, "Xiao Ye, after hearing what Xiaonannan said, didn’t you have any thoughts at all?"

"C’mon, spill!"

"I bet you’ve been daydreaming about the whole thing!"

Xiao Ye hurriedly shook his head, "Nope, absolutely not."

"Sister Ziran, don’t overthink it—I don’t have the slightest improper thought about Sister Qingcheng."

"Don’t go misunderstanding, and don’t get jealous."

Ziran shot back, "Am I someone who gets jealous over every little thing? I’m really open-minded, okay?"

Xiao Ye looked straight ahead, "You totally are!"

Ziran huffed, "Three of my besties are already with you, and if there’s a fourth, it’s whatever—I don’t mind. But don’t act all high and mighty in front of me."

"Don’t think I don’t know you’re actually a total perv."

"Looking at Qingcheng with that killer body and regal face, I seriously don’t believe you don’t have any dirty thoughts."

*Xiao Ye’s temple twitched—he really couldn’t let Ziran go on like this, and quickly tried to change the subject,*

"Sister Ziran, I just noticed, your panties have gotten tighter—they’re way smaller now, it’s about to pop out."

*He didn’t have improper thoughts about Qingcheng. That much was true.*

*But he did want that Destiny Template—to get the Qilin template that let him tap into future power.*

*So, admittedly, he did kind of want to form a contract with Qingcheng.*

*But that sort of thing couldn’t be rushed. He still had no clue how the Hang City Empress, Qingcheng, felt about him.*

*He couldn’t exactly say, "Hey, I want your destiny template. Fall for me right this instant and form a contract with me!" right?*

Ziran’s attention shifted to herself right away. She looked down—and realized it barely covered her toes.

She was absolutely thrilled, completely over the moon.

"So that’s why I couldn’t breathe! Turns out that was the reason!"

"Let me see—at this level, it should be a C+, almost at D’s limit."

"Hehe, if you massage me a few more times, my body’ll be totally back to peak, right up there with Qingcheng and Xiaoxi!"

*Xiao Ye’s eyes got huge, you’re really measuring with your hands?*

Qingcheng walked over, giving them a weird look, "Ziran, seriously, what are you doing? In public and all."

Ziran laughed, totally unfazed, and said,

"No worries, there aren’t any men here. Those sea beasts aren’t human."

*Xiao Ye’s face darkened—he wasn’t a man?*

Qingcheng glanced at Xiao Ye, a faint blush on her cheeks, and said, "Xiao Ye, this mission was a perfect success, right? Shouldn’t we head back?"

Ziran cut in, "Qingcheng, why’re you asking him? You should be asking me!"

"I’ve only got fifty-six Venerable Realm Crystal Cores, nowhere near two hundred."

*Qingcheng avoided her gaze. At this point, she already considered Xiao Ye her anchor, making her instinctively want to hear his plans.*

Xiao Ye smiled, "Then let’s go hunt some more sea beasts—once we’ve got enough crystal cores, we’ll head back."

Qingcheng nodded vigorously, "Mmhmm!"

Jiang Xue’an sidled over, giggling, "Crystal cores? I’ve got tons! I usually just eat them as snacks."

With a wave of her hand, over a thousand Venerable Realm Crystal Cores and a hundred Saint Realm Crystal Cores appeared in midair.

"Yikes!" Xiao Ye sucked in a sharp breath. That many?
