Three Conditions

"And did the Ancient Clan Chief not teach you not to try to provoke your opponent when you are already at their mercy? Do you really not understand such a simple principle? Other than that bloodline of yours, you, the young miss of the Gu Clan, are truly completely useless. Yet with such terrifying talent and bloodline, you actually don't want to cultivate properly, spending every day dallying with that Xiao Yan, even suppressing your own realm for his sake, wasting this heaven-defying aptitude of yours. If things go on like this for you, I'm afraid it won't be long before you package up the Gu Clan along with yourself and hand them over to that Xiao Yan. The Gu Clan must have been truly blind to place the hope of their revitalization on you." Hearing Hun Changqing's extremely insulting words, as well as being placed in such a shameful posture at the moment with someone straddling her body, Gu Xun'er felt a deep sense of humiliation in her heart. She stared fixedly at Hun Changqing, her gaze carrying matchless hatred, and she pressed her lips tightly together without uttering a single word. Seeing Gu Xun'er's hateful gaze, Hun Changqing said indifferently, "You don't need to make a look like that. The more you hate me, the faster Xiao Yan will die. You guessed right-I wouldn't dare to harm you. If you die, Gu Yuan will definitely turn the entire Dou Qi Continent upside down, and I would definitely not be able to escape. I am not willing to perish together with a brainless fool like you! But I dare to harm Xiao Yan! As long as you come to no harm, Gu Yuan is impossible to make a huge fuss over a mere Xiao Yan, and those elders within the Gu Clan will not agree either. No matter who that Xiao Yan is, whether he is a genius or trash, in their eyes he is nothing more than an ant, and so am I. They will not make a huge fuss over the death of one ant to hunt down another ant and avenge an ant! Right now you are merely a pampered princess who does not grasp any real power. The Dou Qi Continent is so vast; if I am bent on hiding, it would be impossible for someone with your authority to find me. Unless you break through to Dou Sheng and truly grasp real power, but by that time your Xiao Yan will probably have been dead for a long time already. Hahaha!" Hearing Hun Changqing curse her as a fool first and demean her to the point of being utterly worthless, Gu Xun'er felt endlessly irritated and gnashed her teeth. Following that, upon hearing the matters concerning Xiao Yan, the more she listened the more alarmed she became, and the more she listened the more terrified she grew. In her heart she was well aware that although Hun Changqing's words sounded harsh, what he said was correct-the Gu Clan was simply impossible to care about Xiao Yan. At this moment Gu Xun'er's head had already scrambled into a complete mess, leaving her at a complete loss, and she timidly spoke up, "Why are you doing this? What is it that you want? As long as you don't harm Brother Xiao Yan, I will give you anything!" Looking at Gu Xun'er's current posture, acting cautiously for fear of offending him further, and completely lacking her previous attitude of being somewhat flustered despite her dangerous predicament yet arrogant and fearless in her heart, Hun Changqing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Very simple. Three conditions." "First, you are to bring the cultivation resources of your Gu Clan for me to use, especially resources of the Yin and Cold Attribute. If you don't have any, send people to search for them; if you can't find them, go plunder them. These matters should be effortless for your Gu Clan." "Second, send people to search the Dou Qi Continent for water possessing miraculous powers similar to Heavenly Flames. I do not believe this world only has Heavenly Flames and no Strange Water, Exotic Water, Bizarre Water, or things of that sort. No matter what that kind of water is called, you must find it for me!" "Third, copy all of the Dou Techniques of your Gu Clan and hand them over to me. Do not think about playing tricks; the moment my cultivation runs into trouble, I will make Xiao Yan die without a whole corpse." "Just these three requirements. Very simple, is it not? As for Gu Yuan asking you why you need these things, you can think of a way to deal with Gu Yuan yourself. If even the slightest problem arises by then, your Brother Xiao Yan will definitely die before me!" After hearing Hun Changqing's demands, Gu Xun'er was dumbfounded. Good grief, this was catching a single sheep and shearing it to death! Who did this person think he was! She was merely the legitimate daughter of the Ancient Clan Chief, not the Ancient Clan Chief! Although her cultivation resources right now were much greater than ordinary people's, they were still not provided without limit. When the time came and she took a huge pile of resources only for her own strength not to have increased by much, how was she supposed to answer for that? And what kind of ghost thing was water similar to Heavenly Flames? Exotic Water? Bizarre Water? She had never even heard of such things in her entire life! Was this person out of his mind just because he practiced Water Attribute Dou Qi and was unable to refine Heavenly Flames? Copying all of her Dou Techniques seemed somewhat possible to manage... like hell it was! Which one of those un-transmitted Dou Techniques of the Gu Clan did not possess astonishing might, shattering mountains and splitting the earth, capable of destroying a country or leveling a city with a casual wave? If those old fogies in the clan found out that these Dou Techniques were being taken out and given to someone else to study-and someone from the Soul Palace at that-just because their young miss had taken a fancy to a man, she estimated that even her father, who was the Clan Chief, would be implicated! Gu Xun'er roared crazily in her heart, but on the surface she acted cautiously, not daring to let herself reveal the slightest abnormality. "I... I promise you. As long as you don't harm Brother Xiao Yan, once I return to the clan I will definitely go plead with Father. He dotes on me very much and will definitely agree!" Gu Xun'er hastily agreed with her mouth, but in her heart she couldn't help inwardly cursing: were the conditions he had spoken of things a human could accomplish? Why didn't he just listen to what he was actually saying? Why didn't he just say he wanted to make himself the Ancient Clan Chief directly? With the current situation pressing down on her, Gu Xun'er could only agree first, going along with Hun Changqing's wishes so as not to provoke him further. Once she escaped danger, she would take the jade slip Hun Changqing had just given her and have Gu Yuan study it. She believed that her father, as one of the strongest individuals on the Dou Qi Continent, could not possibly be left completely helpless by something concocted by a mere Soul Palace Dou Zong. As long as that hidden hazard left on Xiao Yan's body was cracked, she, Gu Xun'er, would definitely let this Soul Palace old man before her know how to conduct himself as a human! She would make him regret coming into this world! Seeing Gu Xun'er put on a pitiful appearance, Hun Changqing naturally knew what she was thinking in her heart. He applied a forceful pinch with the two fingers holding Gu Xun'er's chin. "Ngh... ah!" Gu Xun'er felt a wave of pain and cried out in alarm, then looked dazedly at Hun Changqing. Hadn't she already agreed? Why was he still treating her like this? A trace of an evil smile appeared on Hun Changqing's face as he forcefully kneaded Gu Xun'er's chin and said, "Did you think I couldn't tell? Were you planning to agree to me first, then take this exotic item back for your father to study, and after it's cracked, send people over to torture me?" Gu Xun'er was instantly struck with terror, her heart filled with extreme dread. She felt that the person before her was simply too terrifying; he could even guess her inner thoughts with absolute clarity. The figure of Hun Changqing that brought her such extreme terror was deeply engraved in her heart, forming a shadow. Unless she could kill Hun Changqing with her own hands, no matter how strong she became in the future, this shadow would always exist-it had nothing to do with strength, and everything to do with her state of mind.
