The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Wu Hai Zhi entered the room. On the sofa, Guo Lingtong was wearing a sexy nightgown and a face mask, playing on her phone. Two elderly Outer Manifestation masters sat at another table, never leaving her side, playing chess.

"If you have something to say, say it," Guo Lingtong said softly, though her demeanor was incredibly arrogant.

This was the superiority that came from being a member of the six great families. Even when facing a young master of the Nanhai Wu Family, Guo Lingtong wouldn't deign to give him a second glance; allowing him to enter and speak was already the highest honor she could bestow.

Wu Hai Zhi smiled apologetically. "Madam Chen, I'm here to inform you that tomorrow's wedding is canceled." Although the wedding was just a facade, with the Poisonous Insect Nest destroyed, the Wu Family was in no mood to hold any celebration.

Guo Lingtong had come here to lie low in the first place, so the wedding was of no consequence to her. If it were not for that, she never would have come to this cruise ship.

So, she spoke, "Something must have gone wrong. Third Young Master Wu, don't worry about me. Go handle your urgent business!" Her words were a clear dismissal.

Wu Hai Zhi's eyes reddened. "Madam Chen, actually, I've also come to ask for a favor!"

Guo Lingtong didn't speak. Instead, she put down her phone and gave Wu Hai Zhi a sidelong glance.

"The reason my wedding can't be held is because of one person." As he spoke, Wu Hai Zhi took out his phone, which was playing a video of Chen Dong wreaking havoc on the Guo Family estate. Wu Hai Zhi said, his voice laced with grief and hatred, "It's him. Just a short while ago, this man killed my father in Nanhai, turning my wedding into a funeral. To avenge my father's death, please, Madam Chen, lend me your aid!"

Guo Lingtong was shocked. 'What? Chen Dong has chased me all the way to Nanhai!'

She quickly asked, "Does this person know I'm here?"

Though surprised by her question, Wu Hai Zhi still shook his head. "He probably doesn't know. The man destroyed a private beach belonging to my Wu Family, apparently to save someone. My father just happened to be there and fell victim to his viciousness!"

Guo Lingtong felt relieved. 'That damn Chen Dong, he really is a piece of work. After provoking the Chen and Guo families, two of the six great clans, now he's gone and angered the Nanhai Wu Family. He truly deserves to die.'

She then asked, "How do you want me to help you?" Since Wu Hai Zhi had shown her the video, he must know about her feud with Chen Dong. Guo Lingtong didn't bother asking for more details; as long as it meant she could get rid of Chen Dong, she was more than willing to lend a hand.

Wu Hai Zhi said through clenched teeth, "This man's martial arts are powerful; he's already reached the Inner Sight Realm. We are certainly no match for him. However, after hearing the news, my second brother has offered to serve the Gu with his own body, preparing to refine a Gu capable of killing an Inner Sight expert."

At these words, even the two elderly Outer Manifestation masters looked over, their attention captured.

Guo Lingtong exclaimed, "A Gu that can kill someone in the Inner Sight Realm? Third Young Master Wu, you can't be serious!"

Wu Hai Zhi said firmly, "I am absolutely not joking. This is a secret of my Wu Family. If it weren't for the sake of avenging my father, I would never have revealed it to you!"

Guo Lingtong's eyes were filled with suspicion. 'Is there really a Gu in this world that can kill an Inner Sight expert? All of my own plans are useless against someone at that level. Since the Wu Family has such a method, what's the harm in trusting him just this once?' And so, she asked, "What help do you need from me?"

Wu Hai Zhi slowly said, "Women. A large number of women. Young ones, and preferably Martial Artists who have some level of cultivation!"

"What do you need women for? Don't tell me you're using human lives to refine a Gu?"

Wu Hai Zhi shook his head. "I can't tell you that right now. When Madam Chen is willing to send over the first batch of women, you'll find out then."

"Then let me ask just one thing: will the women be alive in the end?" Guo Lingtong asked cautiously. The answer would determine who she sent.

Wu Hai Zhi said solemnly, "We won't take their lives unless we have absolutely no other choice." And he wasn't lying. Only after a woman had been used for breeding to her absolute limit would their Gu God dissolve her into a green acid to become nourishment.

After receiving this answer, Guo Lingtong thought for a moment and said, "Alright. I'll contact a group of people to come over today!"

Hearing this, a strange smile touched the corners of Wu Hai Zhi's mouth. He added, "This matter is of the utmost importance. I hope Madam Chen doesn't alert the Military Suppression Department!"

Guo Lingtong's brow furrowed slightly, though no expression could be seen beneath her face mask. "Fine. I understand."

As Wu Hai Zhi left the room, in a hidden chamber on the cruise ship where Wu Haiqiang was, a number of women had already been gathered. They were completely naked and vacant-eyed, clearly under the control of Gu Insects. With the Gu God's shielding, Wu Haiqiang was reveling wantonly, and his location was impossible to detect even with the senses of an Outer Manifestation Martial Artist.

Meanwhile, far away in Beijing, a strange phenomenon had occurred: the appearance of a bizarre Black Feather. Those who obtained a Black Feather would rapidly embark on the path of a Martial Artist, their progress shockingly fast. For those who were already Martial Artists, obtaining a Black Feather was like activating a cheat code; their Realm would advance by leaps and bounds in just a single day.

No one knew how the Black Feathers appeared. They only knew that by holding a Black Feather, they could comprehend a Cultivation Technique perfectly suited to them and cultivate at an incredible speed.

Guo Meizhu, who had been forced to live in a villa after the Guo Family's ancestral home was destroyed, was drinking red wine when a Black Feather drifted down into her glass.

In the Chen Family Mansion, as Chen Rui was training diligently, a Black Feather slid down and landed on his head.

In the short span of a day and a night, countless people in Beijing had obtained these strange Black Feathers, and the phenomenon was rapidly spreading to the surrounding cities.
