Aromatic Silk Beauty

"I don't need it."

Gu Yi's face darkened as he spoke firmly.

The moment those words came out, everyone present turned to look. They had already been shocked far too many times today.

They simply could not imagine that someone could refuse the temptation of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone!

It was like placing a fortune worth millions in someone's hands, only for them to treat it like dirt!

"You don't need it?"

"Forget it, Xiao Yi. You'll understand Uncle Ning's good intentions someday."

"Uncle Bone, do it. Be careful with your strength."

Ning Fengzhi could not be bothered to argue with Gu Yi any further. He directly ordered Gu Rong at his side to act. Delays could breed complications!

Hearing this, how could Gu Rong hesitate in the slightest?

For his grandson's bright future, he absolutely would not show any mercy!

His expression turned fierce as he reached toward Xiao Wu with both hands from afar. The next moment, Xiao Wu, who had been behind Gu Yi, was instantly transferred before Gu Rong.

He clamped a hand around Xiao Wu's neck, the Soul Pressure radiating from his body leaving her unable to move.

For a moment, her eyes held nothing but despair. Happiness had only just been about to descend upon her, yet she would never have the chance to experience it!

There was only one thought in her mind now: she hoped Gu Yi would keep his promise and help revive her mother. As for herself, she had already fallen into a hopeless situation!

"Mmph! Mmph!"

At the side, Tang San was pinned in place by Yu Xiaogang. He wanted to speak, wanted to act, but there was nothing he could do.

"Xiao San! Don't be rash! If you rush out now, you'll only be courting death. They won't kill Xiao Wu right now. You'll still have opportunities in the future!"

"I told you before, never let your emotions cloud your judgment! Be cautious!"

As Yu Xiaogang restrained Tang San, he softly tried to persuade him beside his ear.

He understood perfectly well that if Tang San dared to make a move now, Chen Xin and Gu Rong would definitely kill him. Tang Hao's whereabouts were unknown, so the safest course of action was to stay still!

It was a pity about Xiao Wu's hundred-thousand-year soul ring, but there was no other choice.

Whether Tang San had understood or not, Yu Xiaogang only felt that his struggling had become less intense. At that moment, the situation in the plaza changed as well.

A flash of white light passed, and Gu Yi, Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, and Xiao Wu vanished from the plaza together.

"Hm? What's going on?"

Chen Xin, who had been leisurely chatting with Ning Rongrong nearby, was somewhat confused.

Ning Fengzhi and the others' auras had vanished without a trace in an instant. What were they planning? Was this Gu Rong's method?

"Hmph! It must be Gu Yi's domain again. He pulled Bone Grandfather and the others into it!" Ning Rongrong snorted and explained disdainfully.

"Hm? A domain? That kid Gu Yi has one? When did he obtain a domain?" Chen Xin asked in surprise.

"Hmph! I don't know, but he must have used his domain to negotiate with Father and the others. He didn't bring you in because he was afraid you'd get in their way." Ning Rongrong fanned the flames from the side.

Chen Xin scoffed at that.

"Negotiate? What does he have to negotiate with? What right does he have to negotiate?"

"What could possibly compare to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone?"

"When they come out, I'll handle it myself!"

Endless Bone Domain.

Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi looked around at their surroundings in astonishment. Sensing the changes in the Soul Power within their bodies, they exchanged an incredulous glance.

Then, they both looked toward Gu Yi on the throne atop the mountain of bones and asked in confusion, "Xiao Yi, where is this place? What do you want to do?"

"Uncle Ning, this is my Domain Space. I want to discuss something with you, and I don't want outsiders to know, so I presumptuously invited you all in."

Gu Yi flashed over to stand before the two of them and explained respectfully.

"A domain! Xiao Yi, when did you gain a domain? Why have you never mentioned it?" Ning Fengzhi asked in shock, somewhat agitated.

Gu Rong reacted even more intensely, his eyes fixed on Gu Yi the entire time.

"I'll explain that to you later. Let's discuss the important matter first."

"You cannot kill Xiao Wu, nor can you imprison her. As for her soul ring and soul bone, I don't want them either."

"In exchange, I can offer you information of equal value."

Gu Yi did not answer. Instead, he continued speaking on his own.

Ning Fengzhi frowned upon hearing this.

Information of equal value? Could Gu Yi know of another hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form? But why seek what was far away when there was one right before them?

Though puzzled, he still decided to hear what Gu Yi had to say.

"Go on. Uncle Ning is listening."

Seeing that there was hope, a smile appeared on Gu Yi's face.

"Then I'll take that as your agreement."

"Haven't you always been unable to break through level eighty? What if I told you that I have a way to help you rise to a higher level and break through the limitations of your martial soul?"

The moment he said this, Ning Fengzhi's previously calm expression changed instantly, his eyes widening considerably.

"What did you say!"

"Xiao Yi, don't lie to Uncle!"

If anyone else had said this, Ning Fengzhi would have taken them for an idiot. But if it was Gu Yi, its credibility instantly increased by several degrees.

It might be a delaying tactic, but what if it was true? The value that represented would be immeasurable!

"Of course. Uncle Ning, you can rest assured that I would never lie to you. I only said this because I have absolute confidence."

"Otherwise, with your wisdom, it would be difficult for me to deceive you."

"Well? Is this information enough to buy Xiao Wu's life?"

Gu Yi asked with a smile.

Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi turned to Gu Rong and said, "Uncle Bone, release her first. Let's hear what Xiao Yi has to say."

"But Sect Master, wouldn't it be best to have Xiao Yi tell you directly, then have the best of both worlds?" Gu Rong replied. Then he gave Gu Yi a meaningful look and said anxiously, "Yi'er, since you have a way to resolve the Sect Master's martial soul issue, why not just say it outright?"

"You should know the value of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone!"

Gu Rong had no other thoughts. He only wanted Gu Yi to obtain the best resources. Now that they had a ready-made Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before them, he was unwilling to let it go.

"Grandfather, I said it already. I don't need it. You may find it puzzling and hard to understand, but I can assure you that I truly don't need it!"

"Please respect my decision, all right?"

Gu Yi met Gu Rong's gaze firmly, his aura directly overwhelming Gu Rong's.

"Enough! We'll do as Xiao Yi says. As long as you can resolve the flaw in my martial soul, we'll let this girl go."

Seeing that Gu Yi refused to yield in the slightest, Ning Fengzhi immediately settled the terms.

No matter what, they should first obtain the benefit in Gu Yi's hands. Though he did not know what Gu Yi was thinking, that was unimportant.

At worst, after the terms had been fulfilled, they could play the villain again.

"Fine. Grandfather, release Xiao Wu first. She's in a lot of pain right now," Gu Yi reminded Gu Rong.

Though reluctant, after hearing the two of them out, Gu Rong still chose to agree and released the hand restraining Xiao Wu.

"Cough, cough—"

Xiao Wu collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Being restrained by Gu Rong's Soul Pressure was far more painful than Zhao Wuji's Gravity Enhancement.

If she had not trained regularly, she would have fainted just now.

Gu Yi quickly walked over to Xiao Wu's side and gently helped her up.

After all, it had been he who leaked the information. Otherwise, she would not have suffered this.

Besides, he had promised Er Ming that he would protect Xiao Wu. If he just let her be taken out like this, wouldn't that be far too wasteful?

With that thought, he pulled Xiao Wu behind him before speaking.

"Uncle Ning, do you know of the Aromatic Silk Beauty?"
