Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 443 - 433: A Kiss

"Hey, there are two stunning beauties here, and you’re still reluctantly staring down there? Don’t you have any taste?" Gu Qingcheng complained, driven by a shared enmity, she even complimented the Barbaric Girl, including her in the realm of ravishing beauties.

You know, she prides herself on her unrivaled beauty, and complimenting another woman like this is rare for her.

The Barbaric Girl quickly nodded, her little face beaming, after all, it’s nice to be complimented.

Chu Hao smiled wryly and said, "Only you would act so bizarrely!"

Gu Qingcheng huffed and leaned her pretty face closer, asking, "Who was that woman anyway?"

"Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know her." Chu Hao replied offhandedly.

"Wow, flying, flying!" The Barbaric Girl cheered. She was a Body Cultivator, unable to control the artifact to fly, merely taken along for flights in the sky; but this was completely different from flying atop a War Chariot.

Gu Qingcheng also showed a hint of bewildered affection. Ahead, the Fire Phoenix soared with flapping wings, and the War Chariot emitted blazing flames—majestic yet beautiful, stirring her youthful heart.

She leaned her pretty face closer and suddenly bit Chu Hao harshly on the shoulder.

She was now a War General, and Chu Hao’s Physique remained at the peak of Warrior, making the bite rather painful, causing him to grimace and say, "What are you doing, are you a dog or something?"

"It’s because you annoyed me!" Gu Qingcheng glared sharply at Chu Hao.

"How did I annoy you?" Chu Hao appeared innocent.

"You just did!" Gu Qingcheng stamped her foot angrily.

Wisely, Chu Hao chose not to argue—arguing with a woman meant that right or wrong, he would be deemed the wrong one, and avoidance was better than arguing because the "mistake" would just grow bigger.

"You need to remember me every single moment!" Gu Qingcheng bit him again.

"Hey, enough already!" Chu Hao quickly dodged, clearly without any masochistic tendencies, he didn’t want to be bitten again.

"Don’t dodge!" Gu Qingcheng commanded fiercely, chasing him with her mouth open.

"Crazy!" Chu Hao exclaimed.

The Barbaric Girl found it amusing, and also bared her teeth pretending to bite, saying, "I want to play too!"

Play my foot!

Seeing her teeth gleam like pearls, Chu Hao was truly startled. A bite from Gu Qingcheng felt like a mosquito bite, hardly painful at all, but the girl was an Innate Body Cultivator—just thinking about her bite made Chu Hao shudder.

Chu Hao dodged frantically, but the War Chariot had limited space, and he was responsible for controlling it, so where could he possibly hide?

Following the principle of suffering minor rather than major injuries, he tried his best to dodge the "attacks" from the Barbaric Girl, and evaded Gu Qingcheng when possible, otherwise he just resigned himself to his fate.

The Barbaric Girl, amused, transformed into a female lioness, baring her teeth, intent on biting Chu Hao before she would stop.

Pff!

Busy dodging, Chu Hao suddenly collided with Gu Qingcheng, who had stealthily attacked from the side. It wasn’t very painful, but the collision awkwardly made their lips meet.

Both were momentarily stunned.

"Hahaha!" The Barbaric Girl seized the moment to bite Chu Hao’s hand, her little white teeth sinking in, suddenly drawing Chu Hao back to reality with the pain.

"You actually bit me!" Chu Hao gasped in pain. This was a genuine Body Cultivator whose Physique was unmatched in the world—unless there was another Innate Body Cultivator.

"I won! I actually won!" The girl cheered, viewing it all as a game. She jumped around joyfully, then suddenly pointed at Gu Qingcheng and said, "What’s up with her? She seems stupefied for quite a while."

Ever since her lips touched Chu Hao’s, Demoness Gu had been frozen, unmoving even a finger till now.

Her reminder made Chu Hao remember that he’d ignited a ticking time bomb. He broke out in cold sweat; this Demoness was not the kind to let anyone take advantage of her. The incident of her turning into a baby to "steal tofu" hadn’t been settled yet, and now he had kissed her, Demoness Gu was bound to make endless trouble for him.

Actually, Gu Qingcheng was truly a breathtaking beauty—any man lucky enough to have her should feel fortunate. But Chu Hao’s error was that he had met Su Wanyue earlier, and his heart had been captured by her unknowingly, now placing him in a dilemma.

—If other men knew of his predicament, they would surely want to strangle him!

Both these women were unparalleled beauties, and securing even one would be incredibly fortunate, yet he was entangled in choosing between them, which was preposterous.

"Gu Qingcheng? Demoness Gu? Fatty Gu?" The Barbaric Girl kept calling but even her mocking references to her being "fat" elicited no response from the Demoness. The girl couldn’t help but rejoice, saying, "She finally looks pleasant to me. Just let her stay like this from now on!"

Chu Hao broke into a cold sweat all over his head. Who said a pure and kind girl couldn’t be jealous?

However, Gu Qingcheng seemed to have really turned silly. During the ensuing flight, she had no reaction at all, like a stone statue. After the Barbaric Girl had her fill of fun, Chu Hao drove the War Chariot back to the camp.

"I’m hungry!" the Barbaric Girl yelled, sprinting off, as in her mind, nothing was bigger than mealtime.

"Hey! Hey!" Chu Hao waved his hand in front of Gu Qingcheng.

No response.

Could it be that she turned dumb from that kiss?

It wasn’t intentional after all. It was an accident, absolutely an accident.

What should he do now?

Chu Hao was somewhat annoyed by Demoness Gu’s demeanor, but he definitely didn’t want her to turn into an idiot. He murmured, "Too shocked? I heard about shock therapy, maybe I should kiss her again, might scare her awake."

"Pah, you want to kiss me again?" Gu Qingcheng suddenly "came back to life," and spat fiercely at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao laughed heartily, saying, "Just kidding, see, you’re alright now, aren’t you?"

"You scoundrel, how dare you—" Demoness Gu’s face blushed, though the kiss was an accident, it had blanked her mind until now. Just thinking about it made her legs weak, a passion spreading within her.

"That really was an accident, and it wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t instigated it," Chu Hao quickly explained.

"So you mean this was all my fault?" Gu Qingcheng said through gritted teeth.

"Heh, I said it was an accident, nobody’s fault!" Chu Hao was a bit jittery, considering he was the one who had benefited, feeling quite guilty.

"So I got kissed by you for nothing?" Gu Qingcheng pressured.

Chu Hao sighed, saying, "Alright, I’ll take responsibility. From now on, you can be my concubine. Having someone to warm the bed at night isn’t so bad."

"You vile man, you actually want me to be your concubine?" Gu Qingcheng exploded in anger, chasing Chu Hao and began to beat him up.

Chu Hao ran as fast as he could, feeling relieved inside that he had temporarily alleviated the awkward situation.

Naturally, Gu Qingcheng couldn’t catch up to Chu Hao and soon gave up. She didn’t bring up the kiss again, but both knew it wasn’t something that could be ignored.

When their gazes occasionally met, unusual emotions brewed inside them.

That evening, Chu Hao engaged in Dual Cultivation with Su Wanyue again.

Being with this ice-mountain beauty, Chu Hao didn’t feel cold at all; rather, he enjoyed the tranquility that allowed his spirit to relax, wishing it could be like this forever.

Occasionally, he would think about embracing both, but even he might not accept that, let alone Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng, who were both prideful women. Could they even accept sharing a man?

The next day, Tu Han introduced the details of the holy war to them and issued orders to attack Red Flame Ridge within a day.

In this vast land, hundreds of tribes were located on various edges. Each tribe neighbored another, sharing a critical passageway to come and go—like the Copper Valley Tribe adjacent to the Iron Bull Tribe, with their common pathway being the Red Flame Ridge.

But the "master" of Red Flame Ridge was neither the Copper Valley Tribe nor the Iron Bull Tribe but a very powerful ferocious beast who had guarded the place for generations. Normally, both tribes could only stealthily slip by, but launching a war meant deploying a large army, a commotion that definitely wouldn’t go unnoticed by the beast.

Red Flame Ridge was a strategic choke point for both tribes to enter the Anka Plains. If they were blockaded inside, they would have no choice but to sit and wait for death.

War brought not only losses but also the opportunity to continuously absorb arms, people from other tribes, and ensure that only super-powerful tribes remained in the end. Anyone trapped at the start would undoubtedly be easily annihilated.

Moreover, the terrain of Red Flame Ridge was uniquely defensive, making it easy to hold but difficult to attack, requiring only a small force to maintain defense. Therefore, it was essential to capture it before the Iron Bull Tribe to seize the initiative.

Proceeding further from Red Flame Ridge into the Anka Plains, they would quickly encounter another strategic point shared by four tribes. Beyond that lay more strategic fortresses, layer by layer, as if someone had grouped these tribes, necessitating a step-by-step battle.

In the end, only four tribes could reach the center of the plains and compete for the Holy Object.

Chu Hao and other outsiders were well aware that these tribes and this plain existed as pawns, and they had now become part of a game whose master had long vanished.

There was no choice but to compete.

"Tomorrow, we head to Red Flame Ridge!" The outsiders gathered together to discuss their strategy.

They had no sense of honor or disgrace in winning or losing the war, but clearly, without concluding the war, they couldn’t move forward. Establishing military achievements was significant for them as it allowed them to obtain a substantial amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, with looting being the quickest form of primitive accumulation.

Thus, they knew it was a war that might cost them their lives, yet they had to dive headfirst into it, willingly.

"According to High Priest Tu Han, the beast guarding the place is a Nine-Headed Golden Lion and Peak of War Venerate existence!" someone exclaimed. (To be continued.
