This Emperor is Full of Courage

Boom!

She exploded—Concubine Luo completely exploded. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Gu Qingfeng, feeling as though her entire worldview had been shattered. She had never encountered someone so shameless in her life.

Gu Qingfeng thought his reasoning was excellent—simple, sincere, and even flattering toward Concubine Luo. Surely, she would agree to the possession now.

But Concubine Luo didn’t speak. She just stood there, dumbfounded. Gu Qingfeng figured she just needed time to adjust.

So, he decided to help her adapt. "Concubine Luo, if you’re having trouble accepting it, you can always… practice with my body first. Think about it—once the Star Extreme Immortal King possesses me, won’t my body become your husband’s? So, when your husband does things with you, wouldn’t it be just like doing them with me? Practicing in advance wouldn’t hurt, right?"

As he spoke, his devilish claws reached for Concubine Luo’s delicate shoulders.

BOOM!

Concubine Luo erupted. A violent surge of immortal light burst from her body.

"You shameless scoundrel! I’ll kill you!"

"Keh keh keh... Have you thought this through, Your Highness? If you kill me, your husband won’t survive either. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to him, would you?"

Gu Qingfeng smirked and patted her shoulder.

"You—!" Concubine Luo’s rage faltered. The immortal light around her flickered but didn’t disperse as she stood frozen in place.

"Relax, no need to be angry. You want to kill me, and I want to… ahem… cooperate with you. So why not arrange the possession as soon as possible? Once it’s done, everyone wins."

Concubine Luo violently shook off his hand and snapped, "His Majesty is currently hidden within the Ancient Star Tree, deep in slumber. There’s no way to contact or find him—he must remain completely isolated, or the Xuanjun Immortal King and the others will discover him. Possession is impossible. The only way now is to retrieve the Star Tear and fuse it with the Ancient Star Tree to awaken His Majesty. So, give up on your disgusting ideas."

With that, she flung a spatial ring at him.

Gu Qingfeng caught it and peered inside—it was filled with priceless immortal treasures, each one radiant with divine light.

"These are your advance payment. Bring me the Star Tear, and you’ll receive even greater rewards afterward."

Gu Qingfeng eyed her curvaceous figure with a wicked grin. "Tell me, does that ‘greater reward’… include you?"

A flash of murderous intent flickered in Concubine Luo’s eyes. She sneered, "If you have the guts, then yes. I’ll be yours."

"Keh keh keh... The one thing I don’t lack is guts. I’m brimming with them! Want to check for yourself?"

"There’ll be plenty of time for that… if you succeed." Concubine Luo smirked coldly before calling out, "Jingyun, take him to the Abyss of Falling Stars."

With a flutter of her sleeves, she vanished into the void.

Not long after, Yan Jingyun appeared like a ghost.

"Follow me." The man of few words said nothing else before turning to leave.

Gu Qingfeng weighed the ring in his hand and followed.

Truthfully, he had already made up his mind—there was no way he was going to the Abyss of Falling Stars. Too dangerous. Better to take the money and run.

Why stick with the Star Extreme Immortal King’s side when he could take this treasure straight to the Xuanjun Immortal King?

A man shouldn’t cling to just one "family." If the Star Extreme Immortal King was this weak, why not join the stronger side?

……

The two stopped beneath the Ancient Star Tree.

Yan Jingyun turned and spoke calmly, "Before you enter the Abyss of Falling Stars, I’ll brief you on the Sixth Star Ruin. Listen carefully—your life depends on it. Even though you’re a Star Demon and have an advantage in the Abyss, the dangers there go beyond just stellar storms. There are also Star Pirates."

For the next half-hour, Yan Jingyun explained everything about the Sixth Star Ruin.

By the end, Gu Qingfeng had a clear understanding.

First, the region was called the Abyss of Falling Stars—a cursed land where stars went to die.

The Abyss was divided into nine sectors, known as the First to Ninth Star Ruins. The Star Extreme Immortal King ruled the Sixth.

The closest major powers to the Star Extreme Dynasty were those of the Xuanjun, Tian Du, and Chongming Immortal Kings.

The Star Extreme Immortal King was the newest among them, a rising star. But because he was a Star Demon, his power grew exponentially in the Abyss, where stellar energy ran rampant. Over countless millennia, his influence expanded rapidly.

Naturally, this didn’t sit well with his neighbors.

Why should we struggle to survive while you thrive and grow stronger? If this continues, there’ll be no place left for us!

So, they banded together against him.

The Star Extreme Immortal King had anticipated this. His plan was to form an alliance with the most distant power—Chongming Immortal King—using diplomacy to divide and conquer.

But Chongming and the others turned the tables, striking first with brutal efficiency.

"Gu Qingfeng, take this star map and pill. The map will guide you to the Star Tear."

"And the pill?" Gu Qingfeng eyed the blackened pill suspiciously.

"That’s the Gu God Pill. It contains a Gu God—insurance to ensure you don’t take the money and run. Break your word, and the Gu God will devour your soul, leaving you as scattered ashes."

Gu Qingfeng: "..."

"Don’t you think it’s a bit bold to just admit that outright?"

Yan Jingyun replied flatly, "Because I’m a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

Damn it!

Damn these Great Luo Golden Immortals!

One day, I’ll crush every last one of you!

"One last question—are you human or demon?"

"Human."

"Good. Then we’re fine."

Without hesitation, Gu Qingfeng popped the Gu God Pill into his mouth.

Because—

Ding!

Host under attack by Gu God.

Gu God Power +1,000,000… +1,000,000… +1,000,000…

Feeling the surge of new power within him, Gu Qingfeng smiled.

Everything was going according to plan.

What was an evil Gu worm if not… family?
