“Saintess, what did you wish to discuss with me alone?”

 

Only the Primary Hope Saintess and Gu Changge remained in the pavilion once Ling Yuxian and the servant withdrew from their presence. White mist lingered, and a refreshing scent permeated the air.

 

Gu Changge continued to enjoy his tea in silence, looking relaxed and at peace with the world.

 

“You claim to have met me in your dreams, Young Master Gu. It made me curious. What kind of dream was it?”

 

Meanwhile, the Primary Hope Saintess walked over and sat down opposite Gu Changge as she spoke. A pure yet charming fragrance wafted from her direction. Picking up her warm teacup, she tried to take a sip before she recalled that she was wearing a veil and chuckled in embarrassment. Her delicate hands then reached behind her ears and gently removed the veil.

 

Following her actions, her peerless good looks were instantly revealed. Her eyebrows arched like distant mountains; her eyes sparkled like shooting stars; her skin was as soft and delicate as warm jade; and her lips were naturally as red as cherries. Even without any makeup, her beauty was breathtaking and almost ethereal.

 

She picked up her teacup and gently took a small sip, seemingly nonchalant about the fact that she had revealed her true appearance to Gu Changge.

 

On the other hand, Gu Changge observed the pretty woman in front of him without bothering to disguise the appreciation in his eyes.

 

“It doesn’t matter what kind of dream I had. What’s important is that you are more lovely in person than in my dream.” He smiled and looked away.

 

“Can I take that as a compliment, Young Master Gu?” She, too, smiled in response.

 

Her bright gaze was fixed on his face, and her slender hands toyed with her teacup. At this moment, she looked playful and seductive. It was very different from her otherworldly and detached appearance in public. Both her gestures and attitude could be considered extremely bold, especially since it was only their first meeting. Even those who were close to her could barely believe that she would exhibit such actions and words.

 

“The Primary Hope Holy Church possesses the Civilisation Supreme Treasure known as the Mirror of Reincarnation. As the Master of the Primary Hope Holy Church, it is only right for you to be in charge of the Mirror of Reincarnation, Saintess. Since the name of the Mirror of Reincarnation contains the word ‘Reincarnation’, then neither the past nor the future will be able to escape its deduction and insight. With the power to explore and understand the obstacles in one’s path, both the future and the unlimited corresponding possibilities can be reflected in the mirror. So, I am very curious about something. What did you see in the Mirror of Reincarnation that made you try to seduce me on our first meeting, Saintess?”

 

While speaking, he put down his teacup. He then stretched out his hand and grabbed her by the chin in the same breath.

 

She immediately tried to avoid his grasp when she saw his hand reaching towards her. To her dismay, she discovered that an invisible force had expanded around her. The space enveloping her consequently became as viscous as mud. Unable to move, it was impossible for her to avoid him. She could only watch helplessly as his hand closed around her lower jaw.

 

The situation pained her slightly. It was her first time being held by the chin despite the long years of cultivation. Moreover, it was done by somebody of the opposite sex.

 

In any case, she was not an ordinary person either. Even though she was forcefully being held by the chin, her expression remained normal. She was unexpectedly calm and confident.

 

“What do you mean by that, Young Master Gu? This is our first meeting. Although it feels as though we have known each other for a long time, it is not chivalrous to act so frivolously from the start. I originally planned to wear a veil to hide my true appearance. Nevertheless, such behaviour is somewhat disrespectful to you. That is why I took off my veil,” she said calmly. The smile on her face had vanished without a trace.

 

“I have never been a chivalrous man, but you make it sound as though I have been overthinking the situation.” He laughed and released his grip on her chin.

 

Based on the sensation, she had the feeling that there were red marks where his fingers had pressed against her lower jaw.

 

In the future deduced and simulated by the Mirror of Reincarnation, he had killed her as soon as she became disagreeable to him. That was why she thought it was normal for him to attack her without warning. The incident had not surprised her since such actions were in line with his character and behaviour. Besides, he had not shown hostility towards her. That could already be considered an act of great mercy from him.

 

“It must be because there are too many women who admire you, which is why you misunderstood me. It’s unfortunate but I will have to disappoint you, Young Master Gu.” The Primary Hope Saintess took another sip of tea. With a pointedly bland look at Gu Changge, she touched her reddened chin and put on her veil again.

 

It was fortunate that she had seen herself dying at his hands over several hundred times in the future simulated by the Mirror of Reincarnation. Thanks to those scenes, she gradually came to understand his habits and personality.

 

If she could not obey his wishes, she should go against him instead. If she simply obeyed him blindly, he would only lose interest and annihilate her at will. These were the strategies that she eventually compiled with her life.

 

“At this time, should I follow the usual pattern and say something like, ‘you are indeed different from all the other vain women infatuated with me?’”

 

Gu Changge glanced at the woman in front of him with interest. Her demeanour had suddenly turned calm and indifferent as though to say that he should watch his behaviour. He did not know where she had learned the strategy to first pretend to seduce him with her beauty and then harshly rebuff him by claiming that she had no such intentions.

 

Her strategy certainly amused him greatly. She had probably deduced certain scenes of the future through the Mirror of Reincarnation and subsequently concocted these strategies to get closer to him. Unfortunately for her, he was never one to suffer any losses.

 

“What do you mean by that, Young Master Gu?” She couldn’t help feeling a little scared. Looking at his expression, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. The situation seemed inexplicably different from her expectations.

 

“What I mean is that I am not a gentleman. So, don’t use the so-called rules and regulations of a gentleman to restrict me, Saintess.”

 

With a soft chuckle, he abruptly reached out his hand and tugged off the veil she had just put on. Her peerless beauty was revealed once more. At the same time, there was also a strong look of mistrust on her face.

 

“You!” The Primary Hope Saintess instinctively felt that something was wrong and quickly stepped backwards. However, Gu Changge followed her closely like a shadow.

 

The Spacetime between them underwent innumerable changes and became chaotic in an instant. Similarly, the atmosphere became blurry. Endless World Principles came to life inside the tiny pavilion, causing the universe to transform and evolve. Even time seemed to fluctuate like waves in the sea.

 

She was indeed worthy of being the current Master of the Primary Hope Holy Church. Not only was she known as the most beautiful woman in the Primary Hope Civilisation, but her strength was also extremely terrifying. Ordinary Ancestral Dao Realm experts would be no match for her. After all, she had already survived her Eighth Decay Tribulation.

 

An overwhelming Dao involving reincarnation, Spacetime, Yin and Yang, appeared between her slender fingers. As a result, several worlds were annihilated and reborn in an instant.

 

These forces constantly collided with his outreached hand.

 

If a single golden ray were to escape her grasp, a Great Universe would undoubtedly be reduced to ashes. The power was so immense that it was impossible to imagine a person could control such strength.

 

Gu Changge leisurely chased after the Primary Hope Saintess. He placed one hand behind his back and lifted his other hand. Simply by raising his palm, he threatened to make the eternal Spacetime collapse around them. The Great Dao shattered to pieces from the force.

 

Regardless of her cultivation, the Primary Hope Saintess was unbelievably helpless against such force. The absolute power could suppress all Dao Abilities in the world.

 

*Bam!* A large palm containing a rich golden light came slamming down in the Spacetime, and the explosion that burst forth threatened to destroy everything that was tangible in the world. She groaned softly from the impact, and her slender figure was thrown backwards like a pitiful sack of potatoes.

 

At the same time, the scenery vanished. The Spacetime shattered, revealing that they were still in the small pavilion from before. If one were to ignore the dishevelled The Primary Hope Saintess, who had fallen to the ground with a faint trace of blood around her mouth, everything that happened just now seemed to be nothing more than a phantom illusion.

 

“Did I lose, just like that?” The expression of the Primary Hope Saintess was a mixture of confusion and disbelief.

 

Only a moment seemed to have passed since they started fighting to her defeat. The truth was that they had actually exchanged countless blows in the boundless Spacetime even though it seemed as though the battle had only lasted for a moment. Nevertheless, the fact remained that she was far inferior to him in terms of strength.

 

“Your strength is impressive indeed. In fact, you lasted longer than I expected.” Gu Changge walked over and picked the Primary Hope Saintess up in his arms.

 

When she came to her senses, her eyes which were initially as cold as stars widened in horror. She immediately struggled furiously to escape his grasp.

 

The development of the situation today had completely exceeded her expectations. She had not asked him to stay behind alone for him to bully her in such a manner.

 

“Let me go.” She glared at him coldly. A horrifying aura of destruction surged above her forehead as though she planned to commit suicide and perish together with him.

 

“Do you think that’s possible?” He gave an indifferent laugh. Following his laughter, the horrifying aura that emerged from her forehead seemed to succumb under unimaginable pressure and dissipate into nothing.

 

When she found that she could not perish together with him even when her loose coat suddenly slipped off her shoulders, she lost her ability to maintain her indifferent expression and finally began to panic.

 

Even among the countless futures simulated by the Mirror of Reincarnation, there had never been a situation where things had completely exceeded her expectations like the situation today. The futures depicted in the Mirror of Reincarnation had always developed steadily according to certain rules.

 

However, it was not until she finally met Gu Changge today that she suddenly discovered something horrifying. There were too many details and events that were different from what she originally anticipated. The Mirror of Reincarnation would not make such mistakes, so she must have performed beyond expectations and caused a backlash instead.

 

At this moment, her heart was filled with regret and panic. It was not in her nature to seduce others with her beauty in the first place. In fact, the decision to pretend to seduce him with her beauty had been a sudden one.

 

His unannounced arrival had completely disrupted her original plans, and then the subsequent situation had developed in an unwanted direction.

 

“If you can’t bring yourself to actually seduce others with your beauty, then don’t play such tricks on me again. Otherwise, I will not let you go so easily like I did today.”

 

Seeing the panicked expression on the face of the Primary Hope Saintess, Gu Changge chuckled softly. He reached out and helped her don her coat, which had slipped off earlier. Then, he roughly threw her on the bed behind him and turned to leave the room without any delay.
