The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

102: Poor Shi YiGu Junan gently patted his shoulder, his tone mild: ”Don’t overthink it. Your sister-in-law cultivates Ice-element Cultivation Technique, so it’s normal for her to be a bit cold and eccentric.”

He changed the subject, a hint of concern in his eyes: ”What about you, though? How are things with Lin Qingyuan now? Since that banquet, I haven’t seen her visit Penglai Immortal Island again.”

Gu Junan’s gaze was like a fine net, trying to catch a ripple of emotion from Shi Yi’s expression.

Shi Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, his fingertips unconsciously clenching: ”She is an Immortal Emperor of the Southern Cold Immortal Domain, and I am merely an Immortal King. The difference is like heaven and earth.”

”She already explicitly stated that we should cut off all contact... Moreover,” his voice deepened, ”I occasionally heard that she is currently just a Clone, and her true body is a Transcendent Being, residing high above the Nine Heavens.”

Seeing his dejected expression, Gu Junan’s lips parted slightly, but he ultimately swallowed his words of comfort.

After the Hongmeng Calamity, the Immortal Realm was reshaped, and only a handful of old acquaintances remained, no more than ten.

He and Shi Yi were fortunate enough to survive entirely because they escaped into a Small World created by a Transcendent Being.

Those Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who had previously sought refuge in the River of Time to avoid the Hongmeng Calamity were all crushed by an invisible force.

Even the three Puppet Immortal Emperors who had harvested the Chaos battlefield back then were easily annihilated like ants.

Now, with the resurgence of Immortal Dao consciousness and the Rebirth of the Immortal Realm, the appearance of this newly promoted Immortal Emperor was already peculiar.

Hearing that Lin Qingyuan’s true body came from the Nine Heavens, whether she was a friend or foe remained unknown.

Silence, like a fog, enveloped the two of them.

Some words, once spoken, might harm their friendship.

After a long while, Gu Junan finally broke the silence.

”Brother Shi,”

He patted Shi Yi’s shoulder again, his tone a bit more resolute: ”Let’s go find Wuji Zi to divine a hexagram. Perhaps we can glimpse some Opportunity between you and her.”

With that, he turned and walked towards the center of Penglai Immortal Island.

A faint glimmer finally appeared in Shi Yi’s eyes, and he silently followed.

Wuji Zi was also a survivor of the Hongmeng Calamity, in charge of the art of Heavenly Secret deduction. His whereabouts were unpredictable, and his cultivation was unfathomable.

If not for his assistance back then, it would have been impossible for the two of them to jointly establish the Ancient Heavenly Court and rule over a region in the past century.

Gu Junan held the esteemed position of Heavenly Emperor, and Shi Yi commanded the Heavenly Soldiers. All of this was bestowed by Wuji Zi.

[Multiverse Chat Group...]

Long Aotian: @Lin Qingyuan, Ma Lingshan, you two dared to snatch the Opportunity that I, Aotian, had set my eyes on.

Long Aotian: When I, Aotian, descend to the Immortal Realm, I will definitely capture and discipline you two! / / Smirk ~ (¯▽¯~)

Lin Qingyuan: Long Aotian, I, this empress, await you in the Immortal Realm. If you dare to come, I will surely kill you. / / Disdain

Ma Lingshan: Sister Qingyuan is right. If you dare to appear, we will definitely annihilate you.

Zhao Ri Tian: @Long Aotian, don’t worry, I will team up with you to wreak havoc on them in the Immortal Realm. You and I will each take one, and we must make them submit!

Long Aotian: Hahaha, then many thanks, Brother Zhao.

[The Multiverse Group, which had been silent for countless years after the Hongmeng Calamity destroyed the Multiverse, stirred again.]

On their way to the imperial capital of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Gu Junan and Shi Yi’s expressions froze. Their eyes met, and they could see surprise in each other’s eyes.

”Big Brother Gu, the Multiverse Chat Group has reappeared, without a group owner or administrators.”

”Could it be that the former group owner and those empress administrators have died in the Hongmeng Calamity?”

Shi Yi was filled with doubt. If it weren’t for the Multiverse Chat Group spreading information back then,

He wouldn’t have known that the one who captured his mount was the old bald monk from Buddhism, and he certainly wouldn’t have been able to rescue the Divine Beast Bai Ze during the war in the Northern Cold Immortal Region.

He wouldn’t even have met Gu Junan. He would have just blundered around like a headless fly and eventually died in the Hongmeng Calamity.

Gu Junan chuckled, ”Hehe, there are hundreds of people in the group, and the waters are deep. Don’t send messages yet.”

”Let’s first see if Wang Qing died in the Hongmeng Calamity. We know our enemy, but they don’t know us. In this new era, we must embark on the path of transcendence!”

Gu Junan stated his thoughts and quickened his pace towards the Ancient Heavenly Court’s main hall.

Shi Yi followed behind, smiling without a word.

He also had the same intention; their thoughts aligned perfectly.

The central area of Penglai Immortal Island.

A magnificent palace, its plaque inscribed with the three ancient characters ”Ancient Heaven Hall,” containing terrifying Dao power.

A tattered Daoist robe-clad old man was leisurely lying on a rocking chair, humming an unknown tune from time to time.

”Gu Junan’s woman, Wu Ying, is quite good!”

Wuji Zi’s lips curved slightly, his eyes full of mockery.

Did you think he was genuinely helping Gu Junan and Shi Yi? That’s simply impossible!

He was just eyeing Gu Junan’s confidante, enjoying himself immensely every day as a carefree neighbor.

The so-called Ancient Heavenly Emperor was just a joke, a Puppet unaware of his own manipulation.

At the same time... In the Southern Cold Immortal Domain, by a cliff rich in Immortal Qi.

A woman in a blue dress scanned the scene below the cliff with her Divine Thought, her expression growing increasingly displeased.

If she remembered correctly, an Elder of the Heavenly Fortune God Clan had left a Chaos Spirit Treasure here before the Hongmeng Calamity descended.

Now, she had been searching for decades without any clue, growing increasingly frustrated.

The woman was Lin Qingyuan, a Clone of the Heavenly Fortune God Clan’s Dao Daughter.

She came here precisely to retrieve the Chaos Spirit Treasure that the Elder had left behind and to set up the Fortune cultivation method again.

If she couldn’t find that supreme treasure, the Heavenly Fortune God Clan would be unable to use the Immortal Realm as a Fortune breeding ground again.

”Where exactly is the Fortune Gourd!”

Lin Qingyuan murmured, transforming into a streak of light and diving into the bottom of the cliff again.

No sooner had she left than a black mist swept in, and Wang Qing, still with his white hair and moon-white robe, emerged from it.

”Fortune Gourd?”

”What is that? Is it another treasure for collecting Fortune Origin?”

Wang Qing frowned in thought. The Heavenly Fortune God Clan had already left the Hongmeng Sea and seemed to have returned to the Nine Heavens Divine Domain.

That was the world where the God Race resided, also located around the Hongmeng Sea, but no one could find its entrance.

Even the Hongmeng Divine Kingdom, representing the will of the Nine Heavens, still couldn’t find the Nine Heavens Divine Domain.

The hiding method of that group of God Race members was indeed very clever.

But in order to collect Fortune Origin, they had to send out their clansmen. They were truly afraid of trouble on one hand, yet constantly courting death on the other.

”Master, who do you want to target first?”

A flash of white light, and Shen Shiyao tore through space, descending from the System Realm to the Immortal Realm.

She was incredibly beautiful, beyond description, and her aura was unfathomable.

The moment she appeared, the entire world twisted, everything stopped, and no one could glimpse the situation here.

”Heh, it’s definitely Gu Junan!”

”His Fortune is very mysterious; even the three Immortal Emperor Puppets plus Zhao Ri Tian couldn’t kill him!”

”If I’m not mistaken, he’s probably also the Reincarnation of some Transcendent Being, who hasn’t recovered his memories until now.”

”Or perhaps he recovered his memories long ago and has just been playing the pig to eat the tiger!”

With that, Wang Qing’s eyes reflected a sea of stars, countless strange phenomena flashing through them, but Gu Junan’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
