"Who is behind that bitch Concubine Ling? Tell me now, and this Emperor will settle the score with them one by one!" Gu Qingfeng roared in anger.
Concubine Luo didn’t understand why Gu Qingfeng was even more furious than she was, but she patiently explained, "This incident was indeed meticulously orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. The first is the Chongming Immortal King of the Chongming clan—also the ancestor of the Divine Martial Marquis. Then there’s the Tiandu Immortal King and the Xuanjun Immortal King. These three masterminded the plot. Taking advantage of His Majesty’s weakened state after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, they had Concubine Ling poison him before launching a joint attack, gravely injuring His Majesty in an attempt to seize the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty!"
Gu Qingfeng narrowed his eyes. The Chongming Immortal King was family, but the names "Tiandu Immortal King" and "Xuanjun Immortal King" alone made them sound like villains.
"What race do Tiandu and Xuanjun belong to?"
"Human," Concubine Luo answered.
Gu Qingfeng instantly flew into a rage. Not family, yet they dared harm this Emperor’s kin!
"Those two bastards, Tiandu and Xuanjun! How dare they harm this Emperor’s family! If not for them, this Emperor would have long reunited with Star Extreme Immortal King, my sworn brother from another father and mother! Do you have any idea how this Emperor has suffered without family? Weeping day and night, praying for their safety!"
Furious, Gu Qingfeng punched a nearby hill, reducing it to flying rubble.
"No, this Emperor is too enraged. This hatred gnaws at me like maggots in the bones, tormenting me every moment. If this grudge isn’t avenged, I swear I’m not human! We can’t delay any longer—hurry up and arrange the soul transfer!"
Concubine Luo: "..."
Yan Jingyun: "..."
The two exchanged speechless glances.
Good heavens, can’t he go three sentences without mentioning soul transfer?
"What are you two standing around for? Hurry up and summon Star Extreme Immortal King!" Gu Qingfeng urged impatiently.
"Gu Qingfeng, calm down first. We didn’t call you here for a soul transfer, but rather—"
Before Concubine Luo could finish, Gu Qingfeng cut her off with a glare. "What?! Not for a soul transfer? Then why the hell did you summon this Emperor? This is absurd! I’m leaving!"
With that, he turned and strode away without hesitation.
If it wasn’t for a soul transfer, and Star Extreme Immortal King wasn’t even showing up, what was the point of staying?
Might as well go find the Divine Martial Marquis for some fun.
"Jingyun, stop him!" Concubine Luo had never imagined someone could be this unpredictable—actually walking away just like that.
Yan Jingyun drew his sword and slashed through the void, severing the spatial distance between them. Gu Qingfeng, who had already walked far away, suddenly found himself back where he started.
"Changed your minds? Ready for the soul transfer?" Gu Qingfeng asked eagerly.
Concubine Luo: "..."
Yan Jingyun: "..."
"Jingyun, step back for now. This consort has some words to share with him alone."
"As you command, Your Highness."
Yan Jingyun cupped his fists and vanished into the void.
"Gu Qingfeng, let me be frank with you. When this consort first heard of a clansman of His Majesty appearing, my immediate thought was indeed a soul transfer. But after meeting you, I changed my mind," Concubine Luo said softly.
Gu Qingfeng’s face fell in shock. "What? Did this Emperor do something wrong? Tell me, and I’ll fix it!"
"Cough—" Concubine Luo choked on her own saliva at his words.
"Gu Qingfeng, listen first. The reason we’re not proceeding with a soul transfer is that there’s a better alternative—the Tear of the Stars!"
"The Tear of the Stars is a treasure hidden deep within the Abyss of Falling Stars, the most suitable artifact for the Star Demon race. If we can obtain it, His Majesty’s injuries can be healed. This way, you keep your life, and His Majesty is saved. A win-win, no?"
Gu Qingfeng fell into thought. If Star Extreme Immortal King’s injuries could be healed, he’d gain a family member at full strength. But if they went straight to soul transfer, he’d only get a severely wounded one. The choice was obvious.
"If such a treasure exists, why haven’t you gone after it yourselves instead of summoning this Emperor?"
"Gu Qingfeng, do you know where the Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty is located?" Concubine Luo asked.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. How would he know? He hadn’t even explored the entire starry river, let alone ventured beyond the dynasty.
Seeing his confusion, Concubine Luo explained, "The Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty lies within the Abyss of Falling Stars—a forbidden land where stars plummet to their demise. The abyss is divided into nine stellar ruins, and our dynasty resides in the sixth."
"A forbidden land?" Gu Qingfeng questioned.
"Exactly. The Abyss of Falling Stars is littered with fallen stars in constant, high-speed motion, making it extremely perilous. Worse still, they’re saturated with the annihilating power of dying stars. Even small falling stars pack the force of a Loose Immortal’s strike, let alone the larger ones."
Beyond that, there exists an even more terrifying celestial phenomenon—the Starstorm. Faced with such a natural disaster, even an Immortal King would retreat in fear.
And the Star Tear lies deep within the Sixth Star Ruins of the Falling Star Abyss!
The Starstorm there is especially horrifying. With our current strength, it would be difficult for us to venture inside and retrieve the Star Tear. That’s why we need your help, Young Master."
"My help?" Gu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback.
"Isn’t that kid Yan Jingyun a Great Luo Golden Immortal? Can’t he handle it?"
Concubine Luo shook her head. "No one dares to explore the depths of the Star Ruins except for an Immortal King. But you, Young Master, are different. You share the same bloodline as His Majesty—you are of the Star Demon race. What is a deadly forbidden zone to others is like returning home for a Star Demon.
Moreover, the entire Star Extreme Immortal Dynasty has already been sealed off by the Chongming Immortal King and his forces. No immortal can leave. You, however, have not yet ascended to immortality, yet possess formidable strength. Being a Star Demon, you are practically the perfect candidate to retrieve the Star Tear."
"Or... how about we just go with the body possession plan?" Gu Qingfeng said hesitantly.
Concubine Luo: "..."
She was utterly speechless. Was this really the thought process of a normal person? When there was clearly a better solution, he still insisted on possession?
In truth, Gu Qingfeng’s reasoning was simple. If possible, he would prefer to see the Star Extreme Immortal King recover. But the problem was, that would require venturing into the depths of the Star Ruins to find the Star Tear—facing a Starstorm so terrifying that even an Immortal King feared it.
If he really were a Star Demon, he wouldn’t hesitate. Unfortunately, he wasn’t. That made things awkward.
What if something happened to him after going out there?
"Young Master Gu, this concubine truly wishes to know—why are you so fixated on possession?" Concubine Luo finally couldn’t contain her curiosity and asked.
Gu Qingfeng began pondering how to explain it to her in a way that would sound sincere, without ill intent, yet not too abrupt.
After a moment of thought, he said, "Because of you."
Concubine Luo froze for a second, then pointed at herself with her fair, slender fingers. "Because of me?"
Gu Qingfeng nodded. "Yes, because of you. Who told you to be so breathtakingly beautiful, yet already married? To have you, this Emperor has no choice but to let the Star Extreme Immortal King possess me. That way, when he... attends to you, he’ll be using this Emperor’s body—which means, in essence, it’ll be this Emperor attending to you.
Ah, to win you over, this Emperor has gone to great lengths."

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"

Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
