The Host is a Very Nice Person

"I heard you. I'll leave Jiang Li to you for now. Teach her the rules properly." Gu Qingfeng's voice echoed from the void, vast and mighty, resembling the voice of a god.

"Yes, Master," Little Corpse Charm replied, her smile blooming like a flower.

Jiang Li's expression turned incredibly unsightly, a single phrase echoing in her mind: *You were born a beauty, so why associate with thieves?*

"You call him Master?!"

"That's right. And soon, you will too," Little Corpse Charm giggled, walking toward Jiang Li step by step.

Jiang Li felt a wave of panic. She sensed a faint yet dangerous aura emanating from Little Corpse Charm. She wanted to flee, but with her power completely sealed, she was no different from a mortal and had no way to escape.

Gradually, she noticed that the woman before her was transforming. Her facial features and figure were shifting, becoming increasingly familiar.

Jiang Li was startled—isn't that me?!

"You witch! Why are you taking on my appearance? What are you planning?"

"Hehe, don't panic, Big Sister. Today, Little Sister will teach you the first lesson: knowing yourself. Only by fully understanding yourself—your strengths, your weaknesses, your pros, and your cons—can you play to your advantages and please the Master."

As Little Corpse Charm spoke, she revealed her form—which was now identical to Jiang Li's—in all its bare glory.

"Big Sister, you really are... impressive. That's your advantage. And here, and here... all quite nice. As long as you learn the proper techniques, Master will definitely like it."

Jiang Li's face flushed bright red with a mix of shame and rage. "Stop talking!"

Being critiqued from head to toe like this made her feel as though she had no secrets left.

"Why is Big Sister blushing? You're looking at your own anatomy, not someone else's. What are you afraid of?" Little Corpse Charm asked with an innocent expression.

"You witch! You and that Old Devil Gu are birds of a feather!"

Little Corpse Charm instantly looked heartbroken. "It's fine if you scold me, Big Sister, but please don't scold Master. Master is a very good person."

......

Outside.

Gu Ling'er, having just been released, was like a bird freed from its cage, chirping incessantly around Gu Qingfeng.

"Where are those Immortal King heirs? Also, where did you put me just now? And who was that incredibly beautiful woman?"

Gu Ling'er was like a curious baby, chasing Gu Qingfeng with endless questions.

She asked until he got annoyed.

The books say the best way to shut a woman up is to block her mouth...

So, Gu Qingfeng did just that.

A moment later, Gu Ling'er's pretty face was flushed, and she was dizzy. After recovering for a long while, she said, "Why do your lips taste like rouge? I didn't wear any rouge today... Ah!"

Gu Ling'er suddenly screamed, seeming to realize what had happened. "Did you kiss another woman while I was gone?! You actually used the mouth that kissed another woman to kiss me?!"

"Why didn't this Emperor realize you were so annoying before? You really need to be disciplined."

With that, Gu Qingfeng pulled Gu Ling'er directly into his Palm World and gave her a harsh "disciplining."

Several days later.

The two emerged from the Palm World. The only difference was that Gu Ling'er had changed into a new set of clothes.

This time, she didn't speak a word. She didn't even dare to look Gu Qingfeng in the eye. Like a submissive little wife, she followed closely by his side, matching his every step.

Gu Qingfeng had also entered Sage Mode. Looking at the rosy-cheeked Gu Ling'er, he felt a sudden realization.

Indeed, only those who have experienced the ups and downs of the world understand that the greatest delight in life is a new lover.

......

"Did you really kill all the Immortal King heirs?" Gu Ling'er suddenly asked worriedly.

"Yep," Gu Qingfeng replied indifferently.

Gu Ling'er's face turned pale. "What should we do? Offending an Immortal King... even my Father Emperor might not be able to... But don't worry. I'll beg my Father Emperor as soon as I get back. I'll make sure he protects you."

"Do you think your Father Emperor can stop an Immortal King?"

"Then... let's run away. Let's go to the ends of the earth, to a place where no one knows us."

"Run? That word doesn't exist in this Emperor's dictionary! Besides, they're merely Immortal Kings. Nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs," Gu Qingfeng said with a disdainful look.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Those are Immortal Kings, the strongest existences in the world!"

Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered to explain. He simply pointed a finger and transmitted the mental imagery of him thrashing the Immortal King heirs to her.

After watching it, Gu Ling'er was dumbfounded. "Are you really immortal and indestructible? Even Immortal Kings can't kill you?"

"Yep! Alright, enough chatter. This Emperor still has family waiting to be rescued. Let's move."

With that, Gu Qingfeng forcefully led Gu Ling'er toward the exit of the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.

However, after just two steps, he suddenly stopped.

The Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone was an ancient ruin with extremely dense Immortal Qi. Since the Ascending Heaven Ladder was gone, it was unlikely anyone would come here in the future. It would be a waste to leave this Immortal Qi behind.

So, he decided to suck the place dry before leaving.

He immediately sat cross-legged and unleashed the Grip of the Underworld. A gate to the Underworld suddenly appeared in the void above his head.

When the gate opened, it revealed a portal like a black hole, emitting a terrifying suction force that frantically devoured the surrounding Immortal Qi.

Immortal Qi from all directions surged into the portal like a tidal wave.

The Grip of the Underworld could absorb even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone this ownerless Immortal Qi.

It acted like a bottomless abyss, continuously draining the Immortal Qi of the entire Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.

Beside him, Gu Ling'er benefited as well. Since she was right next to Gu Qingfeng, the Immortal Qi there had become so dense it was nearly solid, resembling a white mist so thick one couldn't see their own hand in front of them.

Although she couldn't take the lion's share, she could still enjoy the leftovers by staying close to Gu Qingfeng.

Immersed in the dense Immortal Qi, the two seemed to be bathing in it, their bodies glowing radiantly with an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

While the two were cultivating, the Prodigies remaining in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone began to curse.

The Ascending Heaven Ladder had already been destroyed, and they hadn't obtained a single treasure. Their only option was to cultivate using the Forbidden Zone's Immortal Qi. But who would have thought that before they could cultivate for long, the Immortal Qi would deflate like a pierced ball? The concentration dropped at a visible rate, with all the Qi rushing in one direction.

This shocked all the Prodigies, and they hurried to investigate the source of the convergence.

When they arrived and took a look...

Oh, it's Emperor Gu again. Never mind then.

After the incident with the Ascending Heaven Ladder, everyone was quite used to this. No one made a noise, no one caused trouble. Everyone spontaneously took a look at Gu Qingfeng's majestic figure from afar, then silently turned and left. Their practiced proficiency was heartbreaking.

This time, they really left. The Prodigies departed the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone one after another.

The last bit of benefit here had been monopolized by Emperor Gu, so what was the point of staying?

Were they waiting for Emperor Gu to get bored and decide to devour them instead?

......

Outside, at the entrance of the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.

The minister from the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom was still waiting, as he was in charge of the passageway.

Before long, the figure of a Prodigy flew out from the entrance.

The minister paused for a moment and asked, "There are still several days before the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone closes. Why have you come out early?"

In the past, this would have been simply inconceivable; historically, no one had ever exited prematurely. Even if one had already obtained sufficient benefits, they would typically remain inside to cultivate, taking advantage of the incredibly dense immortal energy. The immortal Qi within the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone was absolutely not inferior to that of any sacred cultivation ground.
