Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

“Hello, big sister! I’m Bai Yuege,” Bai Yuege introduced herself hesitantly from the side. She felt intimidated by this older sister, who was roughly the same age but emitted an imposing aura.

“Kind-hearted…” Gu Qingge furrowed her elegant eyebrows slightly, glanced at Bai Yuege, murmured to herself, and then shifted her gaze away.

She recognized that the girl before her was exceptionally rare, with a heart as pure and innocent as water. The reason she followed Su Changsheng was probably that he had managed to attract her.

“Allow me to introduce you. From now on, this is Gu Qingge, your elder sister, and she is Bai Yuege, your younger sister!” Su Changsheng chuckled lightly, presenting the two girls to each other.

Sisters?

A coldness entered Gu Qingge’s eyes, and a touch of disdain flickered as she looked at Su Changsheng.

“I didn’t anticipate that the mighty Saintly Emperor would have such preferences!” Gu Qingge commented with sarcasm.

So, they were nearly the same age, yet that rogue Su Changsheng still forcefully labeled her. It seemed his taste had certain leanings.

Humph!

“Madam, it hasn’t been that long. Are you looking for another ‘punishment’?” Su Changsheng comprehended the implication and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Was she trying to provoke him?

“Ah!”

The very next second, Gu Qingge exclaimed as Su Changsheng scooped her up and carried her straight into a room, leaving a bewildered Bai Yuege behind. She couldn’t understand what was happening.

“Su Changsheng … you… ah… don’t… sob… sob…”

Soon after, Bai Yuege, who remained slightly dazed, blushed profusely. Her innocent eyes widened in surprise, feeling incredibly bashful.

They actually…

“Su Changsheng … you scoundrel…”

A day later, Gu Qingge leaned against the wall, her eyes reddened, trembling as she emerged from the room, her teeth clenched in anger.

“Sooner or later, I will make you pay!”

Recalling the ordeal of being treated in a humiliating manner, Gu Qingge was consumed by a blend of sadness and anger.

Was she fated to be manipulated by Su Changsheng her entire life?

“Big sister, are you alright? I heard you crying for quite a while, and Brother Changsheng talked about playing the flute inside. But I didn’t hear any flute sounds,” a concerned voice piped up, freezing Gu Qingge’s expression.

She stiffened, striving to lift her head, only to find Bai Yuege looking at her with genuine concern. Bai Yuege’s pure eyes brimmed with curiosity about the unfamiliar.

Gu Qingge: “…”

Had Bai Yuege been around the entire day? That meant she had cried throughout the day, and all her tearful cries in between were audible to Bai Yuege.

Gu Qingge’s vision dimmed, and the prospect of her entire image crumbling prompted thoughts of annihilating everything.

“Dear, you’ll grasp these matters in due time. No need to rush,” Su Changsheng emerged from behind, his face invigorated. Seeing Gu Qingge’s face turned dark and her composure faltered, he intervened to diffuse the tension.

Moreover, Bai Yuege would gain insights into the principles during the forthcoming wedding.

“Oh!” Bai Yuege nodded endearingly.

She wholeheartedly believed Su Changsheng ‘s words now.

“Humph!”

While Su Changsheng materialized, Gu Qingge emitted a chilly snort as if she had recollected her own embarrassment. Her gaze became icy, sharp as a knife’s edge, sending shivers down her spine.

Nevertheless, Su Changsheng remained unaffected. He had already interpreted the Empress’s resilient exterior and tender core. She would be at his mercy once he broke through that armor, susceptible to his advances.

“Alright, it’s time to help you activate your potential. You don’t wish to remain in the Qi Sea Realm indefinitely, do you?” Su Changsheng grinned, abstaining from further teasing.

“…”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingge lapsed into silence for a moment, then turned her head and murmured, “Thank you.”

Her voice was almost inaudible. But Su Changsheng caught it and smiled. Certainly, she was a tsundere.

In the upcoming days, Su Changsheng prepared himself to take action and personally activate Gu Qingge’s unique physique. To achieve this, Gu Qingge taught him a martial technique, precisely the one necessary to trigger the Immortal Calamity. The intricacies of this technique surprised even Su Changsheng.

“I designed this technique in my past life, and it’s a potent secret art,” Gu Qingge revealed with a faint smile upon seeing Su Changsheng ‘s astonished expression. A glimmer of satisfaction and pride danced in her eyes.

As the former Empress of the Immortal Calamity, her talents were unparalleled, and she had created numerous secret techniques. However, the one she chose to impart to Su Changsheng ranked among the best.

“It’s truly remarkable. You’re genuinely an exceptional wife, unmatched in the world,” Su Changsheng praised her lavishly.

Indeed, the secret technique Gu Qingge shared was formidable. It was known as the Immortal Calamity Battle Technique—an advanced combat saintly art. Although distinct from the Nine Calamities Secret Scripture, its complexity and depth were equally impressive.

Moreover, this technique held multiple purposes. Beyond its prowess as a combat art, it also functioned as a cultivation method that could fully replace Su Changsheng ‘s Starfall Scripture. Its value was comparable to that of imperial scripture.

Su Changsheng suspected that Gu Qingge deliberately chose to teach him this technique. Was it her way of repaying him? In his estimation, this might be her method of settling her debts without feeling beholden, even to her husband.

Fascinating!

A warm smile curved Su Changsheng ‘s lips as he gazed at Gu Qingge affectionately.

“What’s with that expression?” Gu Qingge’s heart turned cold, feeling uneasy under Su Changsheng ‘s gaze. She met his gaze with a frigid stare of her own.

“It’s nothing.”

“Let’s proceed!”

Su Changsheng ‘s chuckle was light, but his demeanor quickly grew serious. A profound saintly aura radiated from him.

Boom!

With a wave of his hand, a grand temple materialized—an awe-inspiring structure he had acquired as a reward from the system. He had chosen it as the venue for their wedding, and it held the might of a Saint-level entity.

Rumbling!

The temple transformed, shrinking into an ordinary palace. Su Changsheng and the others entered, safeguarding against unusual occurrences that might draw attention.

The Immortal Calamity Body was the most advanced saintly physique. Once activated and restored, its effects could reverberate across the continent. Such disturbances might even reach the divine realm, alerting numerous powerhouses.

In response, even Great Sages could intervene, and since Su Changsheng was currently incapable of confronting them, he had to exercise caution.

Boom!

Su Changsheng ‘s hand moved again, deploying an ancestral protective array provided by the system. Guided by Gu Qingge, he set up a series of extraordinary formations, each surpassing same-level saintly arrays in complexity. These formations concealed celestial secrets and masked any deviations.

Finally, all preparations were complete. The central hall of the palace was adorned with an array of resources, emitting a radiant, divine glow and emanating profound essences. It felt like stepping into a celestial realm, breathtakingly beautiful.

“Let’s commence,” Su Changsheng declared solemnly.
