My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 315 - 183: Trouble with the Avatar [Part 1]

Chapter 315: Chapter 183: Trouble with the Avatar [Part 1]

Because Gu Qingqing is good friends with Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu, she stayed with Yun Ran when sending the bride off. After the wedding procession arrived, she followed along, while Jun Wu and Si Lin helped out on Zhuo Tingqiu’s side.

After the wedding ceremony was completed, Gu Qingqing saw Jun Wu. They exchanged a few words and then parted ways again, until the banquet was over.

By this time, the moon was high above. Today was Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu’s wedding day, and Gu Qingqing was very happy. So she had a bit of wine, but fortunately, not too much, and her alcohol tolerance was decent, so she remained quite clear-headed. Her eyes were sparkling, her cheeks were rosy, and she looked even more beautiful in her slightly drunken state.

Zhuo Tingqiu had also prepared rooms for them, so after the banquet ended, Jun Wu supported Gu Qingqing as they walked toward their living quarters.

Gu Qingqing leaned half into Jun Wu’s embrace, held by him, with a smile on her face all the time.

"Ah Wu, I’m really happy today. I never thought my two best friends would actually end up together," Gu Qingqing turned to look at Jun Wu, noticing his perfect profile, and a smile curled at the corners of her lips, "I actually thought about pairing them up before, but seeing them always bickering, I didn’t dare act. Who knew they would end up together on their own."

Remembering the interactions between Yun Ran and Zhuo Tingqiu from before, Gu Qingqing’s smile deepened.

"Sometimes fate is quite strange," Jun Wu commented from the side.

"Exactly, it’s fate. These two fought the first time they met, kept fighting for years, and eventually fought their way into a relationship. They’re definitely a pair of loving enemies," Gu Qingqing nodded heavily, affirming Jun Wu’s words.

Jun Wu also hummed in agreement, nodding his head.

"I hope they can always be happy in the future, so I won’t have to worry about whom to help," Gu Qingqing said, counting on her fingers.

After all, they are both her friends, and if they were to argue and come to her, she really wouldn’t know who to help.

Jun Wu looked at her, a subtle smile on his lips.

"Watching Sister Yun getting married just now, I was thinking about what it would be like when we get married," Gu Qingqing looked up at Jun Wu, her eyes sparkling like stars. "Last time, Ah Wu, you looked so good in a red dress that I wanted to hide you away, so no one would come and snatch you."

Gu Qingqing was already somewhat tipsy at this point, saying things she normally wouldn’t.

And Jun Wu, hearing her words, although a bit surprised, was very happy, with joy written all over his face.

"I’ve told you, I’m yours, no one can take me away," he slightly lowered his head and whispered softly in Gu Qingqing’s ear.

His voice was deep, like a fine vintage, full of lingering allure, the warm breath blowing softly on Gu Qingqing’s ear, causing her to squirm a little, her ear feeling hot and numb, her heartbeat somewhat unruly.

Stopping her steps, turning around, she raised her head, looking at the face that was close at hand. Gu Qingqing’s eyes were filled with Jun Wu as her heart raced wildly, feeling that her love for Jun Wu had increased a bit more.

Jun Wu also looked down at Gu Qingqing, with her eyes full of him, it gave him the feeling that he was her whole world, an emotion enveloping him, thrilling him, as he moved his head closer to Gu Qingqing, their breaths intertwining, the atmosphere becoming extremely intimate.

It was fortunate that most of the guests had already left, as there was no one in the corridor now; otherwise, seeing them like this would probably be embarrassing.

Just as Jun Wu was about to kiss Gu Qingqing, she suddenly trembled, her brows furrowing tightly, her face turning pale from its earlier rosy hue, looking very pained, causing Jun Wu’s expression to change immediately. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Geng Geng, what’s wrong?" He reached out, holding Gu Qingqing’s arm, asking nervously.

Gu Qingqing shook her head; at this moment, she felt a headache, like being hit hard with a hammer, a pain hard to bear, soon causing cold sweat to appear on her forehead.

"I’ll take you to find Fourth Brother," Jun Wu said, about to lift Gu Qingqing and take her to Mu Chen.

"No need!" Gu Qingqing gritted her teeth, stopping Jun Wu’s actions, and when Jun Wu looked over, she shook her head. "It’s useless, let me just rest for a while."

After speaking, she closed her eyes and began to examine her internal state.

Seeing Gu Qingqing saying this, Jun Wu dared not move randomly, just holding Gu Qingqing, letting her lean in his embrace, preventing her from falling due to the pain.

Gu Qingqing, upon closing her eyes, quickly understood why she was experiencing such a headache.

The primary source was her Heavenly Dao Avatar. After she became the Heavenly Dao of the Xuantian Continent, the continent, which previously felt like a sieve, became much more stable. And as her cultivation level rose, the avatar’s understanding of the rules also improved. Various aspects of the Xuantian Continent were undergoing changes.

Not long ago, after she advanced to the Half-step Immortal Rank, her Heavenly Dao Avatar also reaped many benefits. More inheritances appeared in her mind, among which was one that caught her attention: enhancing the strength of the Xuantian Continent.

According to the records from the Heavenly Dao, there are many worlds like the Xuantian Continent. Above it are higher planes like the Sub-immortal Realm, and higher still is the Immortal Realm they will ascend to in the future.

The levels of these planes are not fixed, and can indeed be altered. For instance, the Xuantian Continent, because she became its Heavenly Dao and due to its strength, experienced many changes, especially the increase in Spiritual Power, which had been somewhat depleted.

If this development continues for some time, there will be more cultivators in the Xuantian Continent, and various spirit plants and demon beasts will also undergo changes. Once these changes accumulate to a certain extent, the Xuantian Continent will become a plane like that of a Sub-immortal Realm.

Seeing this record, the Heavenly Dao Avatar considered whether it could help the Xuantian Continent ascend. Her attempt just now was the reason Gu Qingqing was injured.

Since the avatar was merely a part of her, not comparable to Gu Qingqing herself, it is imperative that Gu Qingqing personally goes there to ensure success. The attempt has already begun, and if Gu Qingqing doesn’t intervene, the consequences could be dire, potentially endangering the Xuantian Continent with destruction!

The severity of the situation left Gu Qingqing troubled. She opened her eyes and looked at Jun Wu, who was gazing at her with concern. A hint of reluctance flickered across her gaze, but she quickly made her decision.

"Ah Wu, I have something very important to attend to and must leave for a while. I’ll finish it as soon as possible and try to return quickly. Once I’m back, we’ll get married." If possible, she didn’t want to be apart from Jun Wu, but the matter was too crucial, concerning the entire Xuantian Continent. She had to accomplish it, and time was pressing. She had no time to explain in detail and simply put it this way.

Hearing this, Jun Wu was taken aback, looking at Gu Qingqing with deep incomprehension. "What could be so serious? Can’t I go with you?"

"It’s related to the Xuantian Continent, and I must leave immediately. Ah Wu, remember, I love you. We’ll get married when I’m back." Gu Qingqing rose onto her tiptoes, kissed him on the lips before he could react, and then vanished from his sight.

Staring at the empty corridor before him, Jun Wu pressed his lips together, touching them as if Gu Qingqing’s warmth still lingered, yet she was no longer there.

Recalling how Gu Qingqing said she had something important to do related to the Xuantian Continent, he couldn’t help but feel worried. Judging from Gu Qingqing’s anxious demeanor, the matter was obviously grave, but his concern was not for the matter itself, but for Gu Qingqing, fearing something might happen to her!

Nonetheless, Gu Qingqing appeared to have her own reasons for not telling him. He could only silently pray in his heart for her safety while informing Si Lin and the others to prevent them from worrying when they discovered her absence later.

Fortunately, Si Lin and the others had not yet retired for the night. Upon hearing the news from Jun Wu, they were all astonished.

"Why is Geng Geng in such a rush? Can’t we help her?" Rong Ye inquired, frowning.

"She mentioned it’s about the Xuantian Continent, likely related to her Heavenly Dao Avatar, so we probably can’t assist," Yue Zhao replied calmly, having memorized Jun Wu’s words.

Hearing this, everyone else’s expressions turned grim.

"What do we do then? What if Geng Geng encounters danger?" Rong Ye looked around, his tone uneasy.

"Wait," Yue Zhao glanced at Si Lin and the others. "We can only wait for Geng Geng to return on her own. We must trust in her strength." Although he disliked this, they really didn’t understand this matter and therefore couldn’t offer any help.

At this point, Si Lin and the others exchanged glances, speechless.

All of them wished they could take Geng Geng’s place in handling this matter, but they weren’t the Heavenly Dao of the Xuantian Continent, so they could only wait anxiously here.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Qingqing appeared in a pure white space. She looked around briefly before waving her sleeve, causing a magnificent palace to emerge before her. The palace was grand and majestic, looking like a piece of art. Its doors were tightly closed, but when Gu Qingqing appeared at the entrance, she was directly absorbed into the palace.

Gu Qingqing’s Heavenly Dao Avatar was lying on a bed in the main hall, injured earlier, her face pale, eyes closed, clearly unconscious.

Frowning, Gu Qingqing extended her hand towards the woman on the bed, who then floated into the air to face Gu Qingqing. In the next instant, a silver-white light flashed, and the two merged into one, with a golden-red rune appearing at the center of Gu Qingqing’s forehead.
