After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In

Two hundred won’t be enough, right?

"Too much, fifty spirit stones would be enough," the person in charge immediately said.

Gu An was slightly surprised, "Fifty?"

"Yes, fifty," the person in charge said with a flattering smile.

In the end, Gu An still gave a hundred.

Fifty felt a bit too little; can’t let them do the work for nothing.

What if next time they don’t do the work?

There’s no grievance nor feud, he couldn’t do anything about it.

But the Demon Sect never followed reason anyway.

In the end, Gu An sighed, some things really weren’t easy to do.

Then the two left the Hundred Weapons Tower.

Watching the two leave completely.

The person in charge sat down in a collapse.

Finally got those two gone, if not, the one to be sent away would be me.

Whom did I offend this time?

Targeted by these two people.

"The strong really can ignore rules."

Thought I was strong enough, wouldn’t have to be afraid anymore.

Having been a senior for so many years, suddenly just...

Started nodding and bowing again.

....

"You weren’t like this before." Leaving the Hundred Weapons Tower, Chu Meng said with some sentiment.

Gu An thought, indeed so.

Back when I was weak, never acted so recklessly.

Always thought twice before acting.

After the cultivation improved, things changed.

Started to use authority to pressure others.

Easily attracting strong enemies.

Must be careful and cautious in the future.

But before he could reflect, Chu Meng’s voice came again, "You used to be bloodthirsty and violent at your age, kicking people when you met them, now you don’t kick anymore.

It looks a bit unusual even to me.

Sure enough, having a fiancée, though still old, began to restrain one’s temper.

As your superior, I’ve sacrificed a lot to change you."

Gu An: "...."

You really don’t know how to talk.

Not a word I like to hear.

Then he looked at the information in his hands and said, "To go to Beihu Snow Continent, one needs to take the teleportation array.

All the way north, reaching the northern coast, then taking a ship across the sea, only then can we get to Beihu Snow Continent.

Going to the northern coast by teleportation array will take about half a month, and crossing the sea will take about three months.

If encountering sea mist, it will take four months.

Moreover, one person requires spending one hundred thousand spirit stones.

For two people, a round trip will require at least four hundred thousand spirit stones.

This is the lowest level treatment, if you want a more comfortable journey, it will require an additional two hundred thousand spirit stones.

For a completely worry-free trip, it will be about a million spirit stones."

After speaking, Gu An looked at Chu Meng.

"Why are you looking at me?" Chu Meng asked blinking, eating peanuts.

Spirit stones, Gu An hesitated for a moment and said, "Junior doesn’t have enough spirit stones."

"Lend you?" Chu Meng casually asked.

Gu An: "...."

Haven’t considered that you pay your own share?

As a superior, don’t you have any sense?

"Aren’t you expecting me to pay for the spirit stones?" Chu Meng looked at Gu An in some surprise and said:

"Think about it, who are we going on this trip for?

As an esteemed lady, why would I give up the service of four maids to go so far with you?

Do I love to suffer?

In such circumstances, are you willing to let a superior who is willing to suffer with you pay for the travel expenses?"

Chu Meng stretched out a slender finger, poked Gu An’s chest and righteously said, "Touch your conscience, isn’t it too much?"

Gu An: "..."

The words are so, but I don’t have enough spirit stones.

Earn spirit stones halfway?

Where could we earn hundreds of thousands?

Earning enough in hundreds of years could pay the travel fees; are we never coming back?

Otherwise, sleep on the deck.

Some regret, should have given Senior Brother Hua twenty thousand less.

Never thought, there would be a day when I’d lack spirit stones.

Gu An checked his belongings and found some items that could be sold.

Can scrape together about fifty thousand.

For one way, should be fine.

Coming back.....

Deal with it then.

Then Gu An took Chu Meng onto the teleportation array.

Teleporting all the way.

Half a month later.

Gu An felt like he was about to teleport to vomit.

How much distance did we teleport?

Until seeing the sea did Gu An finally sigh in relief.

"Wow, this ocean is truly magnificent," Chu Meng marveled at the sea ahead.

"Senior not nauseous?" Gu An asked with some curiosity.

"I have a magic treasure," Chu Meng looked at Gu An puzzled, "Nauseous? You should have told me earlier, I could have used my magic treasure to help you alleviate it."

Gu An: "...."

It’s all over, you don’t need to say this.

Afterward, the two walked along the coast.

Chu Meng looked at the sea, a sparkle in her eyes.

"Senior, haven’t you been here before?" asked Gu An.

"I’ve seen the sea, but never watched the sunset this closely." Chu Meng stared at the seaside twilight, a bit excitedly.

Gu An halted his steps, gazing at the sea.

A round, gentle glow of the red sun was slowly sinking into the sea.

Their shadows stretched long and far.

"Watching the sunset with your fiancée, isn’t it touching?" Chu Meng asked with a smile.

Gu An was lost in thought; it had been many years since he admired the scenery around him this way.

Because he was always busy and exhausted for survival.

Either enhancing cultivation or elevating magic.

He dared not slow down because he might suffer a fatal blow.

Many things required cultivation.

Actually, watching the sunset meant little to Gu An.

If he were to feel touched, it was, albeit not by the sunset.

But by Chu Meng saving him several times before.

Then the two walked beneath the sunset, heading towards the bustling city port.

Along the way, Chu Meng said, "The sunset is beautiful but fleeting, isn’t it just like your performance in the pavilion? It ends quickly."

"Will you feel greatly ashamed when we marry in the future?"

Gu An: "..."

Chu Meng patted Gu An’s shoulder, comforting him: "It’s alright, I won’t laugh at you."

Gu An: "..."

You’re here to oversee me, not to become my Daoist partner.

They continued to walk side by side, occasionally hearing some conversations, mostly perfunctory responses from one party.

...

On the other side.

Near the Imperial City, Dongfang Changli received the envelope once again.

She was somewhat excited.

The Eight Sounds Divine Monarch felt the same.

Previously, seeing such an envelope, she would think Dongfang Changli was about to be deceived again.

But now...

It’s a channel to understand ancient times.

Moreover, being a great cultivator guarding the evil demon, worthy of admiration.

The so-called saving the world, maintaining peace in the world.

No doubt about it.

"Open it and see, does it explain the specifics?" the Eight Sounds Divine Monarch said.

Immediately, Dongfang Changli opened the envelope.

For original chapters go to novel※fire.net

Indeed, it explained the situation of the Nether Sea Clan.

But the more she read, the more Dongfang Changli’s brows furrowed.

Silently closing the envelope.

"So that’s how it is." Dongfang Changli, somewhat helpless: "I’m indeed carrying a heavy burden."

"What does it say inside?" the Eight Sounds Divine Monarch asked.

Dongfang Changli exhaled deeply and said, "It roughly introduces the situation of the Nether Sea Clan.

According to that senior, this clan is the nemesis of the Human Clan, feeding on humans, difficult to kill, and even a part of them can regenerate from just a piece of flesh.

What’s more terrifying is, they can quickly heal wounds and enhance cultivation by eating humans.

As long as there are enough humans, their entire clan will become formidable beings one must look up to.

The most despairing is.

The Swallowing Ghost Technique later researched by humans.

Then hailed as the nemesis of the Nether Sea.

It indeed can suppress the Nether Sea, enhancing strength by devouring it.

Further terrifying the Nether Sea Clan.

Yet, they would try every possible way to annihilate the Swallowing Ghost Technique.

However, such a nemesis technique turns out to be a senior’s deception."

"Deception?" the Eight Sounds Divine Monarch curiously asked: "Why is it a deception? Is the Swallowing Ghost Technique fake?"

"It’s real, but once one learns the Swallowing Ghost Technique, they can only enhance cultivation once, unable to do so a second time." Dongfang Changli explained: "Upon enhancement, one suffers backlash, easily losing all cultivation.

Though fighting power can be boosted by swallowing ghosts.

But.....

The more consumed, the greater the body’s burden, not lasting long.

Destined for extinction.

Swallowing Ghost Technique not only blocks the cultivator’s path but accelerates their death.

The conditions for successful cultivation are extremely harsh.

Even a hundred might not achieve success.

If successful, only one in a hundred can endure.

Those who manage to utilize it are exceptionally few.

The senior who created the Swallowing Ghost Technique back then, seeing his days numbered, then started attacking the Nether Sea Clan.

Achieved fame in one battle, making the Nether Sea Clan fear.

At that time, he could no longer suppress the Swallowing Ghost Technique, but he understood the Nether Sea Clan would surely find him.

And would also lure the Human Clan.

He was very confident in the Human Clan of that time.

He thought with human’s meanness then, they would certainly hand him over.

In exchange for temporary peace.

This secret was originally known by only two people.

Now with me, it becomes three.

When young, it was told to me by the other party, but I didn’t remember it."

Four people now, thought the Eight Sounds Divine Monarch, then said: "What happened in the end? What became of that senior?"

"Taken away by the Nether Sea Clan, whereabouts unknown, probably wants to find a solution to the nemesis technique, unsure if success will follow." Dongfang Changli spoke heavily.
