Ling Yuling reckoned that she would never be as magnanimous as Gu Changge, let alone forgive those who had betrayed and hurt her. So, even if she had come around to many things in the past six months, she did not have a chance to make up for her mistakes.

 

Her gaze was dim as she followed Gu Changge and Mu Yan to enter the valley.

 

The valley was not big, and there was a simple house without many ornaments in the centre. A river passed through the valley as the sound of flowing water was heard. The place was covered in mist. On both sides of the river were peach blossoms which had fully bloomed. The sight was beautiful as the leaves fell to the ground.

 

Mu Yan took Yao Yao away from Gu Changge and helped her settle in a room. At the same time, she curiously asked the young woman about her identity.

 

Although Yao Yao wanted to live with Gu Changge, she knew that she was actually mentally more like an adult, and he would not agree to it. Therefore, she could only follow Mu Yan to the room assigned to her while hanging her head low.

 

Mu Yan did not mind that Yao Yao rarely responded to her. She felt that the young woman was just unfamiliar with the environment, that things would improve after a few days.

 

She could tell that Yao Yao was close to Gu Changge and simply did not want to leave him.

 

Similarly, Gu Changge doted on her and let her do whatever she wanted to.

 

This surprised Mu Yan. She even suspected that the young woman was his Daughter with some other woman. Otherwise, why did he bring back a young woman he doted on after he returned?

 

Mu Yan was curious, so she took Yao Yao’s hands and asked her all sorts of questions to find out Gu Changge’s secrets.

 

Yao Yao was frustrated when looking at this beautiful woman who was trying to pry information out of her while standing close to her. ]Why are there so many women by Masters’ side? Why do they all want me to acknowledge them to be his Wives?]

 

She already felt that she could not compete with Gu Xianer. To make things worse, so many other women were also trying to win Gu Changge’s heart!

 

She used to be unable to grow up. That was an advantage she could use to get receive affection from Gu Changge.

 

However, as she grew up, she discovered that Gu Changge was no longer as willing to hug her. Taking her hand was the best he could do, and there was no intimate interaction.

 

During his stay in the Heavenslayers Alliance, Gu Changge went around to look for rare resources. He also went to the depths of Spacetime to pick up some fragments for an Exotic Treasure that carried the essence of Variability.

 

Then, he studied the Scavenger Tome and made a Fortuitous Exotic Treasure for Yao Yao. He named it the Fortuitous Furnace.

 

The Fortuitous Furnace was only the size of a palm. It was spinning above Gu Changge’s palm. It was round and had three legs. Its lid was translucent and looked like it was made from some ancient jade. The surface was engraved with all sorts of intricate patterns. Pictures such as mountains, stars, birds, beasts, ancient people, and Divine Empires, all manner of abstrusities were contained within those patterns. The item was blessed with Fortuity. Its aura was ancient and mysterious.

 

He gave the Fortuitous Furnace to Yao Yao but did not tell her how to use it. He told her to explore it on her own and the furnace would be immensely useful to her cultivation.

 

However, this was only in the beginning. She could not always rely on the furnace, so he had left behind some Restrictions.

 

“Is this the treasure you’ve made for me?” Yao Yao looked dazedly at the translucent furnace on her palm. Although it was her first time seeing it, she could feel the aura which was connected to her. It was as though she was the reason that the furnace existed.

 

After she came to her senses, elation was written all over her face. She loved the furnace and fiddled with it.

 

“You’re so biased,” Mu Yan muttered when she saw that from a distance. She was curious as well. She was not envious, though. She just felt that Gu Changge treated Yao Yao truly well.

 

“A Fortuitous Exotic Treasure…” Although Ling Yuling’s cultivation had been sealed, she could still easily tell what the item was.

 

She was shocked, not expecting Gu Changge to pay a huge price to make this incredible Exotic Treasure. Any item that had anything to do with Fortuity contained inconceivable abstrusities. Correspondingly, the karma would befall the person who made the item. Though, since Gu Changge had established the Heavenslayers Alliance, he was not worried about such karma in the first place.

 

“Do you like it?” Gu Changge smiled when he saw how much Yao Yao loved the item.

 

“Yes. Thank you, Master.” Yao Yao nodded repeatedly, feeling jovial.

 

When Ling Yuling saw the genuine smile on Gu Changge’s face, she was conflicted deep within.

 

Was he really the Heavenslayers Alliance Leader that everyone in the Primary Hope Civilisation was terrified of? It was said that even a child would stop crying at the mention of his name. If Ling Yuling never saw it with her eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that he could be so gentle.

 

“I’m glad that you like it. Refine it and familiarise yourself with its uses first. After that, I’ll let you receive some training on your own.” Gu Changge nodded.

 

He had other plans and goals to achieve. The Fortuitous Furnace was similar to the Chaos Golden Book he had given to Zhao Xiuyan, who was also known as Ah Man. Those were Cheats of those with great Fortuity.

 

He had arranged the path of a Fated One for Ah Man. However, he decided to let Yao Yao walk down the same path as him. Like him, she would collect Fortuity to strengthen herself.

 

The existence of Fortuitous Furnace could help Yao Yao collect Fortuity so that she would grow stronger. The uses of the furnace were not limited to these though. Gu Changge had also left behind some Restrictions so that she would explore and discover them in the future.

 

“Huh? Training on my own?” Yao Yao was drowned in the elation of receiving the furnace when she suddenly heard that. The smile instantly disappeared from her face.

 

She suddenly felt that even the furnace in her hands was not so great.

 

The smile faded from Gu Changge when he looked at her. He seemed to have become stern.

 

“What’s wrong? Are you not happy with my plans for you?” he questioned.

 

“No. I just don’t want to leave you so soon…” Yao Yao replied in a small voice while shaking her head.

 

“Considering your current cultivation level, it’ll take you some time to fully refine the Fortuitous Furnace.” Gu Changge helplessly shook his head and ruffled her hair.

 

Yao Yao tipped her head back to feel the warmth of his hand. She asked gently, “Will you keep me company for a while longer?”

 

“During this period, Mu Yan will teach you how to fight and survive in unknown places. She’s a good teacher in this regard.” Gu Changge brought up another topic and glanced at Mu Yan.

 

Instantly, Mu Yan recalled the first time she met Gu Changge. Her face reddened as she stared at him.

 

At that time, she was not aware of Gu Changge’s identity. She thought he was an inexperienced young man from a wealthy Family who had just ventured into the outside world. She just didn’t want to bring trouble to him.

 

Yao Yao looked hesitantly at Mu Yan.

 

Mu Yan was alluring and elegant. When she noticed Yao Yao’s expression, she snapped. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want me to be your teacher?”

 

The two of them had become familiar with each other in the past few days. Gu Changge left the valley after he told Mu Yan to take care of Yao Yao that day. Yao Yao had no choice but to settle down with Mu Yan’s help.

 

After she came to the Primary Hope Civilisation, Gu Changge never told her anything about this Civilisation.

 

She felt that Mu Yan was unreliable, for the latter always wanted to find out more about Gu Changge’s background and secrets.

 

On the other hand, she found the chained demure woman to be dependable. She wondered why that woman was chained and confined to this valley.

 

Naturally, she was tactful enough not to ask any questions about Ling Yuling.

 

In the following days, Yao Yao spent most of her time refining the Fortuitous Furnace. Given her cultivation level, the progress was slow. She could only make some slight progress every day.

 

Gu Changge did not help her with that because the refining process could help purify Yao Yao’s Soul. It was a valuable experience for her.

 

She had attained such achievements because she had consumed a lot of resources. Although her foundation was solid, she was still inferior to those prodigies who had slowly become who they were. Her Soul was not stable and there were some problems with her state of mind.

 

The process of refining the furnace was complicated and boring, but that was a good way of training her Soul and state of mind. Gu Changge knew that because of Tao Yao’s disappearance, Yao Yao was eager to become stronger. It was a good thing, but not entirely so.

 

…

 

The Snow City of Green Line Ancient District used to be one of three thousand ancient territories of the Land of Celestial Suffering. However, after Land of Celestial Suffering was destroyed, it got occupied by the Heavenslayers Alliance.

 

The city had billions of living beings. The ancient streets were full of people of different Races. Everything was orderly and no one dared to make a scene.

 

In an inn that was surrounded by the Mist of Chaos, Luo Xiangjun took a look at the reply on a Jade Amulet and felt relieved.

 

“The Heavenslayers Alliance Leader has neglected me for so long. I wonder who he is. I’ll meet him when there’s a chance.” A mist billowed from the divine jade on the table as the Eternal Prime God appeared.

 

There was a sense of displeasure on his vague and indifferent face.

 

Luo Xiangjun ignored him. It was the sixth reply she had received in the past six months. Unlike the previous five times, the response she received this time was that Gu Changge had agreed to see her.

 

Previously, they told her that Gu Changge was not around and she had to wait.

 

Luo Xiangjun had no idea if Gu Changge was not willing to see her or if he indeed was not in the Heavenslayers Alliance. Anyway, since she had received such a reply, it showed that she could go over and visit him now so that she could explain to him the matter regarding the Eternal Ruins.
