Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 368 - 358 Exploded with Rage

Women’s intuition is truly terrifying!

Chu Hao chuckled and said, "Miss Gu and I haven’t met before, have we? Otherwise, I would definitely remember."

Gu Qingcheng still fixed her gaze on Chu Hao, feeling a sense of déjà vu with his face, though she couldn’t match it to anyone in her mind. She prided herself on her exceptional memory, and such a situation was indeed rare.

"I heard Miss Gu was looking for me," Chu Hao urged impatiently, "is there something you need?"

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to spend more time with such a stunning beauty, but the Demoness’s intuition was too sharp. If she realized he was the same baby she had bathed and slept with a few days ago, he could imagine the disaster that would ensue.

So, it was best to keep his distance from this Demoness.

"Hey, this is my young lady you’re talking to! What kind of attitude is that?" Yiyi immediately said discontentedly.

Chu Hao smiled and replied, "Strange, I don’t know you, and besides, it was your lady who wanted to see me. What sort of attitude should I have? I’m quite busy, so make it quick, or I’ll be on my way."

Yang Jin and Dong Wei both mentally gave him a thumbs-up. Their junior brother truly had guts. Unlike them, they went weak at the knees after seeing Gu Qingcheng, losing all their nerve and groveling even to a servant girl.

However, this junior brother was perhaps too focused on martial arts. Previously, he called a pure beauty merely a ’friend,’ and now faced with such a ravishing woman, he acted as if he couldn’t be bothered, truly oblivious to romance.

Gu Qingcheng reached out to stop Yiyi from speaking further and said to Chu Hao, "Brother Chu, I would like to invite you to travel to Wood State and visit the Han Family."

It seemed that her invite list was quite extensive—previously, Yue Feng and Zhou Xi were invited, and now he was added too. Chu Hao felt somewhat uncomfortable, vaguely feeling that he was being lumped together with Yue Feng and Zhou Xi.

Why did he care so much?

Chu Hao reflected. Could he actually have fallen for this Demoness? It didn’t make sense. They had only been together for a month, and he was still in the body of a baby.

But in that month, he had been in extremely close contact with Demoness Gu, sharing meals and sleep, the kind of intimacy reserved for spouses—of course, Gu Qingcheng would never think that way. In her eyes, Chu Hao was simply a baby.

"Brother Chu? Brother Chu?" Seeing Chu Hao zoning out, Gu Qingcheng gently reminded him.

Chu Hao then came back to his senses and said, "I’m sorry, I just remembered something. Miss Gu, may I know why you are inviting me over?"

Awesome!

Yang Jin and Dong Wei both thought internally. Faced with such an extraordinary beauty, he still managed to get distracted. This junior brother was beyond words, yet it also doomed him to a life without a wife.

See, even a beauty like Gu Qingcheng couldn’t hold his attention. Were there any women in the world who could captivate him?

Yiyi was furious. This bastard dared to get distracted in front of her young lady, a huge insult to her. However, since Gu Qingcheng had stopped her once already, she didn’t dare say more, but she glared fiercely at Chu Hao.

Not just Yiyi, even Gu Qingcheng was annoyed. All the men she had encountered before were glued to her, but Chu Hao just got distracted.

Her observant nature was extremely sharp. She knew that Chu Hao had indeed zoned out and wasn’t pretending. But precisely because of this, she felt even more irritated, this insensible lout!

"It’s just a trip for now," Gu Qingcheng said, her tone bearing some emotion. "However, Brother Chu, if you achieve good results at the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly, the Han Family will discuss a mutually beneficial deal with you."

Chu Hao took a longer look at Gu Qingcheng, remembering how Zhou Xi and Yue Feng had said they would wait for the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly to decide. It seemed not only were Zhou and Yue using the assembly to secure more leverage for themselves, but the Gu Family was using the opportunity to choose the best among the best.

Indeed, whether it was Zhou Xi, Yue Feng, or himself, their talent was undeniable.

Was it the Gu Family’s high standards, or were these men not true geniuses after all?

"Brother Chu! Brother Chu!" Seeing Chu Hao zoning out again, Gu Qingcheng called out again, her voice now clearly emotional.

Chu Hao, startled, said, "In that case, let’s wait until after the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly is over to avoid wasting each other’s time."

Yang Jin and Dong Wei didn’t know what to say anymore. Even an invitation from a peerless beauty like Gu Qingcheng was promptly rejected by their junior brother. This brother was truly destined to remain unmarried.

Gu Qingcheng’s lips twitched slightly, her slender hand balling into a fist. She was dying to smash it into Chu Hao.

Previously, Yue Feng and Zhou Xi had also rejected her, but they did it to gather more leverage for better benefits—like having the Gu Family marry her off, which Gu Qingcheng could see all too clearly.

But Chu Hao was different. He had no interest in her at all. In fact, he was intentionally avoiding her. Otherwise, who would reject the opportunity to travel with her for at least a month or two?

This jerk, this idiot.

In her heart, Gu Qingcheng had already cursed Chu Hao to high heavens, yet her pretty face still revealed a smile as she said, "Since Brother Chu has made up his mind, let’s talk about it later."

"Then I won’t disturb Miss Gu any longer." Chu Hao quickly stood up and left without even giving Gu Qingcheng a chance to ask him to stay or to see him out.

Yang Jin and Dong Wei both sighed internally, thinking that their junior brother was completely finished.

They hurriedly greeted Gu Qingcheng, apologizing for Chu Hao’s rudeness on behalf of him and only left after a long discussion.

Thump, thump, thump! As soon as they left, sounds of things being smashed could be heard in the room.

"Aaargh, I’m so mad!" Gu Qingcheng frantically said, "This jerk, I really want to stuff his proud face into a filthy mud pit and let him see whether it’s his face or the mud pit that’s more disgusting."

"Miss, how about asking Yue Feng to deal with that guy by giving him a beating?" Yiyi suggested, her impression of both Yue Feng and Zhou Xi was extremely good, and if her lady were to marry, she hoped it would be one of these two.

Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, this lady doesn’t need anyone’s help! This snotty brat, pfft, I don’t believe I can’t enchant him. Just wait and see, once this lady has him head over heels, I’ll make him kneel before me and lick my shoes."

Yiyi had been very confident in Gu Qingcheng’s charm, but seeing how Chu Hao had been distracted earlier, her confidence had taken a serious hit.

It’s still better to ask Yue Feng for help, she thought to herself, seizing this opportunity to meet that handsome man who seemed like a Heavenly God. At that thought, her heart raced and her cheeks flushed with a rosy tint.

...

Chu Hao walked away quickly, and only after he was far away did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Actually, he didn’t need to refuse so rudely, but the longer the Demoness stayed in the Spirit Spring Sect, the more likely it was that she would discover Fat Cat. And if Fat Cat was discovered, his secret would definitely not be safe.

Two people both named Chu Hao, each with a talking Fat Cat by their side; to claim they weren’t the same person... Are there really two such fat cats in the world? To argue that one is an adult and the other is a baby, well, on Sky Martial Star, with its weird medicines, there might just be a secret medicine that makes people shrink, right?

In any case, it was best to get Demoness Gu angry and send her packing; that way, he would be safe. As for whether she might see through him later, eh, that would be a problem for another time; he’d just have to get through this current situation first.

After returning to his accommodation, Chu Hao discussed with Xiaocao.

He wanted to accelerate his cultivation even more, as Fat Cat always scared him with tales of future chaos, inciting a strong sense of crisis in him and making him more eager to improve his strength.

"Your Soul Power is very strong, quickly enhancing it to the peak of Warrior wouldn’t be problematic, but that’s as far as you can go with the Warrior realm. If you want to quickly advance your cultivation in the War General realm too, you’ll need to acquire more Spiritual Medicine that enhances the soul. Otherwise, as I’ve said before, you won’t be able to control the power inside you and might end up killing yourself," Xiaocao pondered for a while before speaking.

Chu Hao nodded, saying, "In five months, it will be the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly, and I hope to break through to War General by then!"

If he became a War General, he would finally catch up to Su Wanyue.

However, the last time he saw Su Wanyue was almost two years ago, and with nearly half a year until the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly, how much progress could Su Wanyue have made in more than two years?

Would she break through to War King?

It doesn’t matter anymore. He used to be four whole realms behind her; now, closing in to just one realm difference, he should be able to shamelessly pursue her.

Thinking of Su Wanyue, the haunting allure of Gu Qingcheng briefly dimmed, though it didn’t completely vanish, and still flickered faintly in his mind. Chu Hao sighed; clearly, this Demoness was not so easily forgotten.

The Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly was essentially a gathering of geniuses from all nine states of Sky Martial Star, competing against each other to decide the strongest ruler of Sky Martial Star.

It was like an enlarged version of the Cang State Fledgling Dragon List, also with an age limit but the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly allowed participants under 40 years old, which is 15 years more than the Fledgling Dragon List’s limit of 25 years.

Indeed, the higher the realm, the different the definition of ’young’; normally, 60-year-old people are regarded as seniors, but a 60-year-old War God... that’s shockingly young.

However, unlike the Fledgling Dragon List, the Nine States Heaven Talented Assembly didn’t have a fixed schedule; sometimes it was held every ten years, sometimes every few decades, or even every few centuries.

"Then I’ll wait until we return to Medicine Valley, there aren’t any ingredients here," Xiaocao said, being practical-minded, she immediately wanted to pack up and return to Medicine Valley.

"It’s rare for us to come out, let’s play a few more days; after all, we’re not short on a bit of time," Chu Hao quickly interjected, finally having coaxed the girl out for some relaxation and to gain more ’human’ experience, how could he let her run back so soon.

"Alright." Xiaocao nodded, dismissing the idea of returning immediately.
