Chapter 303 The Stingy Xi Ling
Chapter 303 The Stingy Xi Ling
"I will make this bastard pay the price." Xi Ling's eyes blazed with fury, her heart filled with ruthlessness.
She reincarnated nine times, and in each life she was incredibly powerful and never suffered a loss.
Her body had never been touched by a man.
However, he suffered losses at Gu Qing's hands one after another.
My lower back is still a little numb.
Such a humiliating disgrace must be avenged; otherwise, she wouldn't be Zhao Xinglan.
Once she has refined the Xuan Tian Domain and regained her strength, she will immediately make Gu Qing pay the price.
"Where is Ran Shanqiang?" Gu Qing asked.
“He is still of some use to me, so I can’t give him to you for now. But you can rest assured that I will destroy the Ran family within three years.”
Upon hearing Ran Shanqiang's name, Xi Ling's eyes turned icy cold.
She was taken advantage of by Gu Qing, all because Ran Shanqiang was greedy.
So hateful, even wiping out the entire Ran family wouldn't be enough to vent our anger.
"That works too." Gu Qing understood immediately; he guessed that Xi Ling had long wanted to get rid of the Ran family.
"Then give me the thing."
With the matter settled, Gu Qing had no intention of staying any longer.
Yan'er is still at home, hungry and waiting to be fed.
“Aunt Hong.” Xi Ling’s clear and ethereal voice echoed from the palace.
Upon hearing this, Immortal King He Guang could no longer sit still and a thought immediately arose in his mind.
An unparalleled power descended upon the Jun family's Dragon Valley.
The nine true dragons, who were cultivating, hadn't even figured out what was happening when they were sealed into a ball of light and flew into the sleeve of the Immortal King of Harmony.
King He Guang smiled, resembling a handsome and refined scholar.
"This junior pays respects to Senior He Guang."
"No need to be polite."
The Immortal King of Light reached out and handed the item to Gu Qing, asking, "Is your master free?"
He was so eager to marry off Little Bitter Gourd that he skipped all the pleasantries and just wanted to get engaged and married as soon as possible.
Ideally, you should have two children within three years.
With two infants crying for food, Little Bitter Gourd certainly wouldn't dare risk refining the Profound Heaven Domain again.
"Master is currently in seclusion." Upon hearing this, Gu Qing's eyes flickered.
I had a vague idea in my mind.
The fact that Immortal King He Guang is in such a hurry suggests that he may not be optimistic about Xi Ling's ability to refine the Xuan Tian Domain.
After all, the Heaven-Deceiving Array is extremely mysterious, and before the dust settles, no one is certain whether it can perfectly transfer cause and effect.
Or, if the one who bears the karma cannot withstand the world-destroying heavenly lightning and perishes, will the karma fall back on Xi Ling?
In short, this miraculous and supreme array involves the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, countless living beings, and boundless karmic obstacles descending upon it; the changes within it are immense.
Even if you succeed once, it doesn't mean you'll succeed every time.
If any mistake is made, the Heavenly Tribulation will surely annihilate Xi Ling, leaving not even ashes behind.
Even if you have a naturally occurring spiritual treasure, it won't be of any use.
But what puzzled Gu Qing was why the Immortal King of Light didn't stop it directly.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Another possibility came to mind.
Husband and wife are one, their causes and effects are intertwined; aren't they the most perfect people to inherit cause and effect?
Could it be that Old Deng wants him to take the blame for Xi Ling?
"Father." Xi Ling's voice was stern as she transmitted her thoughts: "If you dare to stop me, I will sever our father-daughter relationship and immediately disintegrate into the cycle of reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, Immortal King He Guang's lips twitched, and he looked at Gu Qing with anticipation.
Hopefully, Gu Qing will take strong action to suppress Xiao Kugua.
Gu Qing pretended not to see it and didn't want to get involved.
Regardless of what the father and daughter were plotting, he remained neutral and simply waited to see the show.
If Xi Ling succeeds, he will get engaged to her and then plot the creation of these two ancient divine formations.
If things cannot be done, it will be Xi Ling who dies, and it will have nothing to do with him.
Thinking this, Gu Qing took his leave, ignoring the Immortal King He Guang's attempts to persuade him to stay. His figure transformed into a streak of starlight and disappeared from the spot.
"Starlight Escape".
"This bastard really did obtain the Chaos Star Dao Scripture of the Star Mother."
Xi Ling immediately recognized the wonder of Starlight Escape. The Starlight Escape that Gu Qing used was far more profound than the Starlight Escape technique passed down from the Starry Sky Dao Sect.
The two are worlds apart.
Only by cultivating the Chaos Star Dao Scripture, transforming into chaotic starlight, disregarding the rules of heaven and earth, and traversing time and space.
"My dear, why are you doing this to yourself?"
King He Guang sighed, his face full of sorrow.
If Xi Ling was a little bitter gourd, then he was now an old bitter gourd.
"Gu Qing has the potential to become an Immortal Emperor, and so do you. If you cultivate together, you can obtain great fortune and have a chance to become Immortal Emperors. Why take the risk?"
"Father, throughout history, there have been countless geniuses and prodigies with the potential to become Immortal Emperors, but how many of them have actually been able to attain the Immortal Emperor status?"
"Not a single one. They even struggled to attain the Dao of Immortal King."
Xi Ling said resolutely, "My mind is made up, Father, there's no need to persuade me any further."
"Sigh." King He Guang looked at his little bitter gourd with a mixture of love and hate in his eyes, like a resentful woman in her boudoir.
Xi Ling's red lips moved, wanting to say a few words to comfort her father, but she swallowed the words back down.
"Father, wait, I will definitely succeed. I will make sure you and Mother both become Immortal Emperors and attain immortality. Even if the Great War of Creation restarts, we will have the power to protect ourselves," Xi Ling thought to herself.
Her little hands clenched tightly, her eyes resolute.
If she fails, it's better if she dies, then her parents won't have to worry about her anymore.
Thinking this, Xi Ling sent her father away, sent a message to Ran Shanqiang, and then let the four beautiful women in.
His gaze swept over the four women, noting their graceful figures, voluptuous figures, and stunning beauty, each with their own unique charm.
Xi Ling's red lips curled slightly, her clear and ethereal voice filled with malice: "Tell the array master to hurry up. If you can't set it up within two years, I'll sell the four of you off."
"..."
For sale?
The four beautiful women were stunned.
Who is the young lady going to sell them to?
They are at the peak of the Profound God Realm.
"Miss, you're quite the joker," Honglan said with a forced smile.
“I never joke.” Xi Ling slowly shook her head, a playful look appearing in her beautiful, glassy eyes.
Upon hearing this, the four beautiful women were struck dumb, their minds went blank, and their faces turned deathly pale.
Her voluptuous body trembled slightly.
Clearly, they believed it and were trembling with fear at Xi Ling's presence.
Although Xi Ling had always treated them like family, they knew better than anyone how vicious she was.
If someone is willing to pay a high enough price, Xi Ling is absolutely capable of doing this.
"Tsk tsk, the four wet nurses are so beautiful, I wonder how many male cultivators they have captivated. They are truly drool-worthy. It would be a waste to have them by my side."
"Selling you to male cultivators as slaves would surely fetch a good price, wouldn't it?"
Xi Ling's gaze traveled from bottom to top, taking in eight long legs, full hips and a slender waist, with delicate branches bearing abundant fruit.
Her tone was full of malice.
"Young Miss, it was Master who told us to slow down the process." The four beauties were almost in tears from fright.
Although they longed for a man to come and pluck them, to cultivate the fertile fields that had been abandoned for millions of years.
But I absolutely do not want to be a man's plaything.
"I don't care, you've done a poor job, so I have no choice but to sell you out and replace you with some more capable assistants."
"Young Miss, I will have someone supervise the process immediately and guarantee that it will be completed within two years."
"Better so."
"but……"
"But what?"
"I still think it's more appropriate to sell you all. It would be quite interesting to think about having peak Xuan Shen level cultivators as slaves."
Upon receiving the message, Ran Shanqiang stood at the door, facing Ran Yuzhu in bewilderment.
His expression went from disbelief to doubt, then to ecstasy.
Ran Shanqiang had long coveted the four beautiful women.
For millions of years, he has been thinking about taking the four beautiful women into his house.
He could not only win the heart of a beautiful woman, but also deepen his relationship with the Immortal King of Harmony.
However, to confirm the truth of Xi Ling's words, Ran Shanqiang transmitted his voice to his son, "My son, how much of what she said is true?"
Ran Yuzhu pondered for a moment and transmitted her voice, "It should be true. I estimate that Xiling is not very confident in refining the Xuan Tian Domain, so she wants to find them a good home."
"But Father, don't even think about it. She won't give any of them to you. If I'm not mistaken, she will arrange for the four of them to join the sect so that you can focus on your cultivation."
"We could try to get in touch with the Time Merchant Guild."
"How will you know the outcome if you don't try?"
Ran Shanqiang didn't take it to heart. He had served King Heguang for countless years, and he didn't believe that King Heguang wouldn't even give him this much face if he just asked.
We can't accept them all, but taking one or two would be good too.
Ran Shanqiang was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He asked a few more questions and quickly came up with a plan.
He pushed open the door and entered, his face bearing the sternness of an elder, and said...
“Xi Ling, you mustn’t be foolish. Although they are maids, they are at the peak of the Profound God realm and their relationship is of great importance. How can they be given away? This matter still needs to be decided by your teacher.”
He was a student of the Immortal King of Light and loved to lecture Xiling as an elder.
"Are you teaching me what to do?"
Xi Ling's tone was indifferent.
Ran Shanqiang frowned and earnestly advised, "They manage the Time Chamber of Commerce. If they rashly give people away, the entire Time Chamber of Commerce will be thrown into chaos."
“That makes sense.” Xi Ling nodded thoughtfully, as if she had taken it to heart, and murmured, “We can’t sell them to outsiders, it seems we can only sell them to our own people.”
Upon hearing this, the four beautiful women's eyelids twitched, and their faces turned bitter.
However, I felt a huge sense of relief inside.
They're not stupid; they believed Xi Ling when she sold them to outsiders.
But selling it to myself is absolutely out of the question.
Because her own people simply couldn't afford the price, Xi Ling never did anything that resulted in a loss.
She wished she could squeeze her subordinates dry while they were alive, and then refine their souls and sell their flesh and bones after they died.
I will never let my subordinates gain the slightest advantage.
In Xi Ling's eyes, apart from her family, all living beings in the world are nothing but ants.
Therefore, Xi Ling's words were clearly meant for Ran Shanqiang and his son.
It seems the young lady is going to target the entire Ran family, trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of them.
It's laughable that Ran Shanqiang is still dreaming, trying to guide Xiling to give them to him.
However, what the four beautiful women didn't know was that Xi Ling really wanted to sell them.
In her eyes, Ran Shanqiang was nothing more than a dying ant, not worth her elaborate schemes.
A mischievous smile appeared in Xi Ling's beautiful eyes as she looked at the four beautiful women and asked, "Do any of you have someone you admire?"
"No no."
The four shook their heads repeatedly.
"Really do not have?"
"Really do not have."
"Even if you don't exist, I'll still sell you all."
“Young Miss, our lives were given to us by Madam. If we can share your burdens, we will die without regret.”
"Young Miss, before you sell us, could you let us do our last bit of effort, and sell us after the Heaven Refining Array is completed?"
The four men looked distressed and spoke in trembling voices.
They're all seasoned actors.
Ran Shanqiang's old face twitched, knowing that there was no hope, at least not until the Heaven Refining Array was completed.
"Alright."
Xi Ling nodded, her beautiful, lustrous eyes crinkling with a smile: "Brother Yu Zhu, what brings you here? Please have a seat."
Ran Yuzhu immediately sat down, looked at Xi Ling with a doting expression: "I had nothing to do, so I came to take a look."
Xi Ling nodded, her gaze turning to Ran Shanqiang: "How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"
"It's all taken care of. All 100,000 Divine Fire Realm experts and 3,000 Heavenly God Realm experts from my Ran family have been dispatched abroad. I guarantee there won't be any problems," Ran Shanqiang said.
"That's good. Once this matter is settled, I will hand over the Time Chamber of Commerce to your Ran family."
The Time Merchant Guild is a super merchant guild spanning more than a dozen celestial realms, with countless immortal crystals and treasures coming in every day.
There's so much profit to be made from it.
Of course, this is just the least noteworthy point.
Ran Shanqiang's interest lies in leveraging the Time Chamber of Commerce to expand his influence, recruit powerful individuals and geniuses, and spread the Ran family's influence across more than a dozen celestial domains.
It can be said that once the Ran family takes control, they will definitely be able to soar to great heights.
Ran Shanqiang suppressed his overwhelming joy, stroked his beard, and laughed, "You silly girl, how can you act recklessly on such an important matter? You still have to let your teacher make the decision."
The four beautiful women's eyes flashed with disdain, and they cursed the hypocrite in their hearts.
Who doesn't know that all matters, big and small, in the Zhao family are decided by the four of them and Xi Ling?
Xi Ling said impatiently, "Why make such a fuss over such a trivial matter? This matter is settled then."
"Furthermore, you should dispatch 100,000 cultivators from the Ran family to plunder the treasures of the Xuan Tian Domain."
"Ok."
Ran Shanqiang feigned helplessness.
The joy in his eyes was impossible to hide.
"Go down."
Xi Ling waved her hand, as if shooing away flies.
She treated Ran Yuzhu differently, taking out a jade box and handing it to him: "Brother Yuzhu, you don't need to worry about those trivial matters."
"During this time, focus on refining your Dao Fruit; you will have a share of the opportunity."
Upon hearing this, even Ran Yuzhu, with his detached temperament, couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Even a low-grade Dao Fruit is a peerless treasure that a Xuan Shen (mystical god) powerhouse would dream of, and it is an even greater treasure for him, allowing him to further advance his foundation.
Moreover, Xi Ling actually said that he had a share in the good fortune. What does that mean?
Could it be that after refining the Xuan Tian Domain, he received a portion of the Heavenly Dao essence?
The Heaven Refining Array refines heaven and earth, tracing back to the source, and the essence forged from it contains the purest essence of all the myriad paths.
It possesses the power to create all things.
It can be called the origin of the Way of Heaven.
Honglan, Yitang, Wanhe, and Shuying are actually not very talented. It is said that they have tried many holy medicines and divine drugs but have been unable to break through to the Saint Realm.
The reason the four of them were able to break through to the peak of the Profound God Realm was because they received the Heavenly Dao Essence from Xi Ling.
Xi Ling has reincarnated nine times and refined many planets and galaxies.
Ran Yuzhu became more and more excited and thrilled as she thought about it.
Such incredible fortune struck them, and the father and son remained dazed until they left.
"Young Miss, are you really planning to give him the essence of the Heavenly Dao?"
Honglan asked hesitantly.
In this life, Xi Ling and Ran Yu Zhu are childhood sweethearts with a deep and affectionate relationship.
Although he treated Ran Yuzhu very well before, he never gave her anything.
Now that he's made a move that yields Dao Fruit, could it be that he has truly recognized Ran Yuzhu as his elder brother?
Wasn't Ke Xiling going to destroy the Ran family?
"hehe."
Xi Ling merely chuckled coldly, her gaze icy and devoid of any emotion.
She had tolerated Ran Shanqiang and Ran Yuzhu for a long time.
