Above all spirits

Chapter 387 Oath

"You should ask my elder brother about this. I practically got this Extreme Yang Emperor's Will for free. How to use it and what the cost is are all up to my elder brother. If my elder brother agrees, what's wrong with me helping you for free?"

Xiao Li's cheeks flushed slightly. He turned his head to the side, his gaze darting away, and said...

Xue Qingwu's seemingly pleading demeanor was incredibly appealing to Xiao Li, given his established reputation. Unfortunately, Xue Qingwu misjudged the extent of Xiao Li's relationship with Gu Yun; Xiao Li couldn't possibly act on his own in front of Gu Yun.

Xue Qingwu looked at Gu Yun with some regret.

She was completely helpless against Gu Yun.

As a woman, a stunningly beautiful woman who is often subjected to "strange" looks from others, Xue Qingwu can sense the intentions behind these gazes. Although most of them are disgusting and despicable thoughts, Xue Qingwu often suffers from headaches because of these feelings. Therefore, she usually covers her face with a white veil when she goes out, but even so, a lot of malice still rushes towards her.

Over time, her personality became cold and indifferent. In front of her master, she used to be a lively and cheerful little girl.

But it must be said that this was a very good way for God to discern people's hearts.

Take Xiao Li for example. Xiao Li's gaze towards her wasn't that complicated. He was just amazed by her beauty and a little at a loss. Compared to most men, she was already quite good. At least she was much better than Ye Changfeng, who was only thinking about how to pounce on her in bed.

And Gu Yun...

Xue Qingwu had never been looked at with such emotionless eyes before. Even when facing some male elders, she would feel a little more affectionate because of her appearance.

Gu Yun was the first "terrifying" man who showed her no affection whatsoever, and who even felt a slight sense of disgust just now.

"If Palace Master Xue is not sincere, we can leave."

"Trying to get something for nothing is really disappointing."

"Let me put it this way, Xiao Li is currently only at the seventh level of the Sacred Body, and there is still a long way to go before he reaches the pseudo-innate level. The influence of the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will is not very significant. Even without the assistance of the Extreme Yin Emperor's Will, I am confident that he can successfully step into the innate realm."

"And you are nearing the tipping point."

"What right do you have to propose the idea of ​​reciprocal assistance?"

A flicker of panic crossed Xue Qingwu's eyes. She knew this all too well and quickly apologized, afraid that Gu Yun would leave with Xiao Li.

This may be the only chance for myself and the Ice Cloud Palace to break free from being controlled by others.

Even if it means having to submit to the Heavenly Demon.

But she had no other choice.

If he relied on the Free and Unfettered Sect, he would never have a chance to rise in the world, so he might as well kill himself.

"I apologize, Lord Heavenly Demon, for my rudeness."

"That's not what I meant."

"I just don't know what would catch your eye."

"If there is anything in the Ice Cloud Palace that you fancy, please just say so."

Gu Yun stared intently at Xue Qingwu, seemingly lost in thought, and this direct gaze made Xue Qingwu feel a slight urge to look away.

In the past, others would avoid looking at you, but now it's your turn.

What are your thoughts on the two forces of extreme yin and extreme yang? What would happen if these two forces were to merge?

Xue Qingwu was slightly taken aback, not expecting Gu Huiyun to suddenly ask such a question.

However, this didn't seem to be a big problem, and Xue Qingwu had nothing to hide.

"Extreme Yin power can neutralize the excessive burning of Extreme Yang imperial intent, while extreme Yang power can dispel the bone-chilling cold of Extreme Yin imperial intent."

"The two complement each other and can help break through the inherent barriers."

"This is what my master told me."

"As for the fusion of extreme Yin and extreme Yang power that you mentioned, it is unlikely. Master said that these two powers are like water and fire, which can help each other, but I can't think of any way to combine them, so I have no idea what will happen afterward."

Gu Yun nodded without surprise, looked away, and said.

"Ice Cloud Palace, there's nothing I fancy, except you."

Xue Qingwu's body jolted violently, her lips turned deathly pale, and her face stiffened completely.

My heart is filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Even the Heavenly Demon is no exception in the end.

In the end, is this body all I can offer?

Whatever.

As long as I can break through my innate limitations...

Just when Xue Qingwu was feeling disheartened and about to resign herself to her fate...

Gu Yun's next words, however, brought her back to life.

"Of course, it's you who becomes the emperor."

"You, at the peak of the Holy Body, are utter trash."

Xue Qingwu slightly opened her pale lips.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

Gu Yun spoke clearly, word by word.

"I can get Xiao Li to help you break through the pseudo-innate realm and become an emperor."

"But you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, promising to serve the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Shadow Organization unconditionally for twenty years. At the same time, you must protect him. If anything happens to Xiao Li, you will not be able to live on your own."

"If I break this oath, my soul and spirit will perish, and I will never be reincarnated."

"As you know, if you were to enter the pseudo-innate realm in one fell swoop, the Extreme Yang Emperor's Will would inevitably be exposed, and Xiao Li's identity would be exposed at any time. It's one thing if he is an emperor, but he is only at the seventh level of the Saint Body. You should know better than anyone the risks he has to bear for you. Just Ye Changfeng alone was enough to make him unable to withstand it."

In fact, Gu Yun's initial idea was to make Xue Qingwu become a demon and belong to the demon race. However, Xue Qingwu had already condensed the Emperor's will, and he could not leave any shackles in the spiritual world of an Emperor.

We can only rely on the oath of Heaven for now.

It's still useful, at least until the sky falls.

Xue Qingwu unconsciously clenched her sleeves, her heart beginning to churn violently.

She had no objection to protecting Xiao Li; it was a matter of course, and she was well aware of the implications.

Twenty years is not a long time, and for Xue Qingwu, it can even be said to be a relatively light burden, considering that Xue Qingwu is only a little over a hundred years old now.

But serving the demon race...

"What you're referring to as the Heavenly Demon Palace, Lord Heavenly Demon, is meant to serve the Shadow Organization. Could you please tell me specifically what you require me to do?"

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat displeased.

Are you trying to bargain?

However, seeing that Xue Qingwu had no objections to anything else, she didn't mind saying a few more words to Gu Yun, who was about to become half of her own people.

"Don't worry, I won't force you to do those random things that are on your mind."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qingwu blushed instantly. Through her fair cheeks, a hint of embarrassment and shyness flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly and said softly.

"I...I didn't mean that."

Gu Yun continued.

"The Heavenly Demon Palace, huh? It'll clean up some hazardous waste for me. As for the Shadow Organization, it'll probably handle some cases that my assassins can't manage. Just listen to Xiao Li on the specifics."
