Warm and Polite Laughter

"Why us!" Lu Xuewei asked, her face pale.

"Jiejiejie... Who asked you two to be Lin Daoxuan's confidantes? And since this Emperor is his best friend, it's only natural that I take good care of you on his behalf," Gu Qingfeng laughed maniacally.

Hearing the name Lin Daoxuan, Lu Xuewei and Mu Nianqiao were instantly startled. They looked at each other, clearly not expecting the other to also have a relationship with Lin Daoxuan.

The two women didn't know each other previously; they came from entirely different epochs. Under normal circumstances, they might have even fought each other, but now that they shared a common enemy, a fight was naturally out of the question.

Compared to Mu Nianqiao's panic, Lu Xuewei was much calmer. She said, "Demon! Since you know my relationship with Lin Daoxuan, you should be very clear about his strength. If you do anything to me, he definitely won't let you off..."

"Jiejiejie... I thought you were just a foul-mouthed brat, but who would have thought you taste quite sweet."

"Ah!! I'll kill you!!" Lu Xuewei completely lost her reason, screaming like a madwoman and struggling desperately. However, with her level of strength, she couldn't break free from Gu Qingfeng's restraints at all.

Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention. Instead, he cast his wicked gaze toward the dumbfounded Mu Nianqiao.

Feeling that burning stare, Mu Nianqiao's small face instantly turned pale and terrified. Tightly pursing her lips, she stammered, "You... you, don't come over..."

"Jiejiejie... Not bad, not bad. As expected, you can doubt a protagonist's character, but you can never doubt a protagonist's taste. From today onward, you two will be this Emperor's five hundred and eighty-sixth concubines. As for the ceremony, it will be scheduled for one month from now."

"In your dreams! Demon, you dare sully my innocence! Once Brother Lin finds out, he absolutely won't..." Mu Nianqiao's face flushed red, looking like a little kitten with its fur standing on end. But before she could finish, she was stopped by Lu Xuewei.

Lu Xuewei sent a telepathic voice transmission: "Pretend to agree for now. Don't try to anger him, lest we suffer humiliation. There is still a month until the ceremony. We can use this month to figure out a way to escape or contact Lin Daoxuan."

Mu Nianqiao's expression immediately eased slightly. She didn't dare to provoke Gu Qingfeng anymore, terrified that he would do something even more excessive.

However, what they didn't know was that he heard the voice transmission between them loud and clear.

"To think you two dare to send voice transmissions right in front of this Emperor. Do you really take this Emperor for a deaf man?" Gu Qingfeng smiled wickedly.

The two women instantly turned deathly pale and exclaimed in shock, "You can actually hear our voice transmissions?"

Seeing their shocked expressions, Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly. "This Emperor is proficient in myriad secret arts and divine abilities across all ancient epochs. Intercepting a mere voice transmission is but a trivial trick.

Furthermore, this Emperor finds the two of you pitifully naive. The ceremony is indeed in a month, but that's because this Emperor needs to spread the news throughout the Meteor Abyss and leave time for the major factions to arrive and attend.

Is there some sort of misunderstanding that makes you mistakenly believe this Emperor won't lay a single finger on you two during this month? That I'll let you keep your jade-like chastity intact?"

Gu Qingfeng would never act like the brain-dead villains in TV dramas or web novels. Those villains would snatch the female lead, set a wedding date, invite guests from far and wide, and then just wait for the protagonist to come crash the wedding and steal the bride.

The most ridiculous part of all that was that during the time before the wedding, the villain genuinely wouldn't touch a single finger of the female lead. Wasn't that just being a pure, unadulterated wage slave?

Risking their own lives to give the protagonist a chance to play the hero saving the beauty, only to gain absolutely nothing themselves. Let alone a little kiss, they didn't even get to hold hands. It was simply outrageous! At least real wage slaves got a salary and risked their lives for the sake of money, but those villains were entirely generating electricity for love.

Therefore, since these two women had fallen into Gu Qingfeng's hands and there was still a month until the ceremony, he was definitely going to make good use of every single day during this month.

Hearing Gu Qingfeng's explicit words, the two women instantly panicked. They had wanted to pretend to agree and then stall for a month, but who could have expected this guy to have absolutely zero morals, actually wanting to do the deed first before holding the ceremony!

"No! You can't treat us like this..."

"Then how should this Emperor do you?"

"You're shameless! You demon! You are completely devoid of conscience, despicable, shameless, and you'll die a horrible death!!" Mu Nianqiao was in a complete panic, so anxious she was speaking incoherently.

"Jiejiejie... Little girl, you are about to be bullied by the very demon you call devoid of conscience, despicable, and shameless."

Mu Nianqiao was instantly overwhelmed with panic, looking like a frightened little bird, her eyes turning red.

Lu Xuewei was still somewhat calm. Even facing this kind of situation, she was still anxiously thinking of a way out.

Gu Qingfeng didn't like her calmness. He wanted her to be like Mu Nianqiao, on the verge of weeping.

Thus, he said, "Lu Xuewei, you are Lin Daoxuan's junior martial sister, right? You've always admired him, yet he only ever treats you as a younger sister. You are very unwilling and want to change that. But, after today, with your ruined and defiled body, what face will you have left to go see your Senior Brother Lin?"

Every word condemned the heart, every sentence pierced the bone. Gu Qingfeng's words were like sharp swords, viciously stabbing into Lu Xuewei's heart.

Her face instantly turned deathly pale. The last bit of calmness in her heart vanished without a trace, replaced only by the panic and helplessness of being trapped in hell and falling into a bottomless abyss.

After breaking through their psychological defenses, Gu Qingfeng didn't make a further move. Instead, he looked at the two women playfully. He wanted to boil the frogs in warm water, to watch these once pure and flawless fairies fall from their pedestals step by step until they were covered in mud.

He wanted to thoroughly enjoy this process, so naturally, he couldn't rush it.

.......

Afterward, Gu Qingfeng went to handle proper business, which was to announce the matter of his taking concubines to the entire Meteor Abyss.

"Myriad Flower Telepathy!"

Following Gu Qingfeng's low shout, an invisible fluctuation emanated from his body. The fluctuation spread out like ripples in water. It didn't affect anything else in the world, but the moment it touched any flowers, they too began to emit the same fluctuation.

It was just like Hua Caiyu back then, except Gu Qingfeng's transmission speed was much faster. Using less than half the time, he successfully established a telepathic link with all the flowers in the entire Meteor Abyss.

"Ahem..." Gu Qingfeng coughed lightly, clearing his throat. He pondered his wording for a moment. After all, he was inviting guests from all over the world, so he certainly needed to be a bit polite, enthusiastic, and show a few more smiles.

"Jiejiejie..."

On this day, a bizarre scene played out across the entire Meteor Abyss. The immortals of the major star ruins, whether they were cultivating, dual cultivating, or engaging in magical battles, all simultaneously heard a terrifying and chillingly sinister laugh.

Because they had all witnessed Hua Caiyu's global broadcast previously, they were very familiar with Gu Qingfeng's laughter.

When this familiar laughter rang out, the entire Meteor Abyss actually fell into a bizarre dead silence, as if everyone had collectively lost their voices.

Everyone knew what this laughter meant.

It meant... the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!
