Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 337: Selling Misery
The last time Gu Xiaoxing fainted from exhaustion was ten years ago when he broke out of the small wasteland and entered deep space.
Now he was in a coma again, and he had a dream in a daze, a very strange dream.
He dreamed that he was standing at a very high place. Below him was an extremely huge cauldron. This cauldron was also very strange, as it had nine legs!
What’s even more strange is that underneath the nine-legged cauldron, there is actually a !
This giant was extremely tall, I don't know if he was thousands of miles tall or tens of thousands of miles tall, or perhaps even taller. The giant just carried the furnace and stood between heaven and earth, like a pillar stepping on the sky and the earth!
Gu Xiaoxing stood on the huge furnace, trying to see the land that was thousands or tens of thousands of miles away, but he found only thick clouds and mist, and could not see clearly.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint sound coming from the unclear ground below.
Gu Xiaoxing quickly listened attentively.
"The immortal is gone, on the top of the green mountain..."
"...The ghost is angry and wants me to speak..."
"The body is dead but the spirit is God, God is always there...there is no separation!"
Perhaps because he was standing too high and too far away, Gu Xiaoxing could only hear some intermittent sounds, but these sounds made him feel extremely familiar.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Gu Xiaoxing's mind, and he opened his eyes and shouted excitedly.
"Fang Qingyun!"
"Who is Fang Qingyun?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned. When he turned around and saw Dongfang Yu standing beside him, his breathing stopped and he thought to himself, it's all over.
Dongfang Yu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, full of danger, "Tell me, who is Fang Qingyun?"
Gu Xiaoxing had cold sweat on his forehead. He swallowed subconsciously and said nervously, "A... a friend?"
Dongfang Yu was amused by his rhetorical tone, but it was a sneer, and then his eyes turned red and his face was full of grievance.
Gu Xiaoxing became even more panicked, and hurried forward, reaching out his hand to wipe her tears, but was slapped away by Dongfang Yu.
"You and her even...even have a child, why did you come to me!?"
Dongfang Yu looked at Gu Xiaoxing stubbornly, questioning him coldly, letting the tears fall.
Gu Xiaoxing was anxious. He could take the blame for anything except this one. He hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, don't cry first. Your father-in-law lied to you..."
Dongfang Yu blushed, her beautiful eyes glared, and she angrily said, "Don't shout, who is your father-in-law!?"
"That's exactly what happened..." Gu Xiaoxing whispered, "Where did I get this child? He made it up to trick you!"
"What about Qiao Yanran? Was she also made up by Dongfang Yexuan to deceive me?"
Gu Xiaoxing stopped talking and began to avoid looking.
Seeing him like this, Dongfang Yu felt aggrieved and angry surge up together, and his voice couldn't help but choke up.
"Gu Xiaoxing, I'm telling you, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, I won't want to see you again...!"
Gu Xiaoxing's scalp tingled. He had originally thought about running away and waiting until Dongfang Yu was in a better mood. But when he heard this, he couldn't even run away and became immediately upset.
"Don't cry yet...!"
Gu Xiaoxing wanted to reach out again, but was opened again.
Dongfang Yu stared at Gu Xiaoxing. Her face was clearly covered with tears, but she was stubborn and refused to wipe them away. She no longer looked like the cold and saintly lady that she appeared in public.
Especially when she thought that Qiao Yanran was also in the barrier world now, she became furious and asked a soul-searching question directly.
"You say, choose her or me?"
Gu Xiaoxing really wanted to say he wanted both, but when he saw the fierce light in Dongfang Yu's eyes, he knew he would be beaten if he told others.
But asking him to make a choice is even more impossible. He is not a child, so what choice can he make?
Forget it, just die!
The worst that can happen is that I get beaten up. You’re just Dongfang Yu. Do you think I, Gu Xiaoxing, am afraid of you?
Gu Xiaoxing kept encouraging himself in his heart, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and he was ready to shout out.
But suddenly, Dongfang Yu's extremely cold voice sounded in his ears.
"You'd better think it over carefully!"
Gu Xiaoxing was so frightened by these words that he lost his temper. Then he pouted and started crying, tears streaming down his face.
Dongfang Yu opened her beautiful eyes wide in disbelief. What was going on?
When she heard the crying over there, she couldn't cry anymore and was confused for a moment.
I saw Gu Xiaoxing's tears falling down his rotten face, and he looked extremely miserable.
"Twenty years ago, on Shiling Peak, you...you just left without saying goodbye, leaving me alone in the wasteland for twenty years!"
"Do you know how I have lived these twenty years?"
The more Gu Xiaoxing spoke, the sadder he became, and the more fluent he became. With his rotten face and white hair, it seemed as if he had really experienced untold pain and suffering in the past twenty years.
Dongfang Yu was stunned. For the first time, she wiped away the tears from her face, but she still felt aggrieved. She pouted and wanted to speak in rebuttal.
But Gu Xiaoxing didn't give her a chance, and continued crying: "Since the year you left, I have been trapped in the Foundation Building Mountain for seven years..."
"After I escaped, I was used as a furnace and was hunted all over the world..."
"Later... Later..."
Gu Xiaoxing recounted his tragic experiences one after another, and gradually became heartbroken and burst into tears.
Every time Gu Xiaoxing said something, Dongfang Yu's momentum weakened a little. He even started to panic and get nervous. It seemed that he was really wrong. He explained, "Ah! Xiaoxing, I don't know... I'm sorry, I don't know these..."
"have no idea?"
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, tears could not stop flowing, and he said confidently: "You want to fool me by saying you don't know?"
"Do you know that I have been threatened by a coffin, and my eyes have been blinded. I want to find you, but I can't find you. Do you know...?"
Gu Xiaoxing almost shouted out loud, and as he spoke, he punched his chest again and again, making a thumping sound.
Dongfang Yu couldn't bear it any longer, so she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Xiaoxing's hand and hugged him, not wanting him to continue hurting herself. She began to tremble and sob.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxing, it's my fault. I don't want to leave you alone in the wasteland, but father...father won't let me take you with me..."
"He said that he would only recognize you if you could reach Xuantian Territory with your own ability. I just wanted to go down and pick you up when my cultivation level was high enough. I also didn't want to leave you..."
Dongfang Yu became more and more sad as he spoke. He hugged Gu Xiaoxing tightly and sobbed in grievance.
“Xiao Xing…!”
“Xiaoyu…!”
Gu Xiaoxing cried even louder and looked even more aggrieved than Dongfang Yu. He held Dongfang Yu tightly in his arms. In fact, he was laughing wildly in his heart.
“Hehe…! Compare your performance with mine. I, Gu Xiaoxing, have been performing performance for decades and have never met an opponent. Little Dongfang Yu can be easily captured!”
But on the surface, Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to show the slightest bit of emotion. He and Dongfang Yu hugged each other, and both of them cried bitterly.
It was not until a long time later that Dongfang Yu's emotions gradually calmed down a little. She snuggled in Gu Xiaoxing's arms, with grievance and complexity in her eyes. Now she didn't know what to do.
As I thought about it, I began to cry silently again.
Seeing her like this, Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to pretend to cry anymore. He hugged her and wiped her tears.
This time, Dongfang Yu was very obedient and did not dodge, but her tears kept falling and could not be wiped away no matter how hard she tried.
Gu Xiaoxing was extremely worried, but it was impossible for him to make a choice, so he gritted his teeth and said, "How about you just beat me up?"
Dongfang Yu glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he suddenly asked, "What's your name? Boy or girl?"
"ah……?"
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned by the question.
"You and her...her child should be thirteen years old now...!"
As he spoke, Dongfang Yu couldn't help but pout again.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said, "Why are you holding on to this? No children, no children, didn't I tell you that?"
Dongfang Yu's eyes widened even more, and he snorted, "I don't believe it!"
Gu Xiaoxing immediately became angry, raised his hand and slapped her on the butt with a "pop" sound.
“Believe it or not!”
"I don't believe it!" Dongfang Yu bit her red lips, with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
“Bang…!”
“Believe it or not!”
"I don't believe it, I just don't believe it!"
“Bang…!”
"Ah...hiss! Dongfang Yu, you bite me again!" Gu Xiaoxing felt pain.
"Humph...! Anyway, I don't believe it, unless... you let me see it!"
"What do you think?" Gu Xiaoxing asked vigilantly.
"Just look at it like this...don't move!"
"If you don't want to move, then don't move!" Gu Xiaoxing snorted coldly, and placed his hand directly on a part of Dongfang Yu's body that he had just slapped, and then stopped moving.
Dongfang Yu didn't try to slap the dirty hand away. She just glared at him, signaling him to be honest, and then buried her head in his chest, where the "line" was connected.
Then, Dongfang Yu slowly closed his eyes and gently made a gesture with one hand.
Gu Xiaoxing felt his heart suddenly beat violently, and looked suspiciously at Dongfang Yu who was listening intently, thinking, could it be that the secret technique of tying the knot has some other uses that he doesn't know about! ?
hateful!
That must be it!
How dare you fool me!
Gu Xiaoxing was so angry that he squeezed the hand that was placed there gently.
With just a moan, Dongfang Yu's delicate body trembled slightly, her cheeks flushed with shame, but she did not open her eyes and continued to listen.
However, this made Gu Xiaoxing even more daring...
At the moment Dongfang Yu was concentrating on listening, the scenes that Gu Xiaoxing had experienced, starting from the farewell at Shi Ling Peak twenty years ago, began to emerge in her mind.
The Heart Knot is a secret technique used in ancient times to form a Taoist partnership. By tying the knot between each other's hair and connecting their hearts, and by putting their ears together to listen to each other's hearts, they can hear all about the other person's past, as if they were there in person.
Originally, Dongfang Yu thought that with Xiaoxing's personality, most of what he said was exaggerated.
But soon, she discovered that what Gu Xiaoxing said was actually true!
