Chapter 693: Worry (1/2)

Su Xing was struck dumb as a wooden chicken. He thought he misheard. Let alone him, even Wu Siyou, Tang Lianxin, and Shi Yuan were all gawking. To present someone else with a Former Volume Heavenly Book??? This Young Lady must have gone mad thinking about the Heavenly Books. Shi Yuan was stunned, but Gong Caiwei pointed her finger, and the Former Volume Heavenly Book hovered in front of Su Xing, to have him accept it.

Su Xing returned to his senses and promptly declined: “Never do such a thing. This Former Volume Heavenly Book is something you and Zhu Sha worked hard to obtain. Even if you are not thinking of yourself, you must think of Zhu Sha. How can you just give away this Heavenly Book.” The Former Volume Heavenly Book was a goal of countless sects. Never had anyone heard of it being used as a present.

“Zhu Sha does not mind at all.” Gong Caiwei glanced at Zhu Sha. The stone-faced woman was expressionless as always. Hearing Gong Caiwei’s words, she nodded. Indeed, she did not care very much.

But Su Xing nevertheless did care. No matter what, the Star Duels were full of danger. Gong Caiwei must have the Heavenly Book to bolster her strength. The Heavenly Book was not as simple as comprehension of a Heaven Rank or an upgrade to Realm; the important point was that it could offer some defense against a Heaven Rank Technique.

“Su Xing, your wish is to end the Star Duels. Then when you face Maiden Mountain, only by concentrating all power given to you can you maximize the benefit. This helps both you and me. And neither comprehension of Heaven Rank or Star Weapon upgrade are very useful for Zhu Sha. Will you not think of them?” Gong Caiwei had her own considerations. In fact, after she obtained the Former Volume Heavenly Book, Gong Caiwei had always been pondering this issue.

In actuality, the Former Volume Heavenly Book was already completely meaningless for these Star Duels, and Su Xing’s objective was not to fight for the overlord position but to end the Star Duels. She already knew they would face Maiden Mountain, but as for how strong Maiden Mountain was, no one knew for sure. If Su Xing wanted to become stronger, then he must use the Former Volume Heavenly Book to bolster his own power. Regardless whether he gave it to Lin Yingmei to comprehend her Heaven Rank or to upgrade her Star Weapon, both would prove more effective than for Zhu Sha.

Su Xing could not help but admire that Gong Caiwei thought on an even longer-term than himself, “I’m very grateful you would do this for me, Caiwei, but the Former Volume Heavenly Book is something that every Star General paid great effort to obtain. I cannot accept this.”

“Then it seems only by making Su Xing kill me will you take it.” Gong Caiwei joked.

These words were not cajolery, but the down-to-earth sincerity they contained still made Gong Caiwei’s heart fill with warmth, especially when she saw Su Xing decline the Former Volume Heavenly Book out of consideration for her.

“Then Caiwei can only do her utmost to not make Su Xing worry.” Gong Caiwei smiled and finally stored the Heavenly Book away.

Su Xing laughed. These words reached the bottom of his heart.

Wu Siyou watched the harmonious atmosphere between her Lord Husband and Gong Caiwei from the side and could not help but smile. “Su Xing refused a Heavenly Book, huh, that’s a real shame.” Shi Yuan was very bewildered. As a very professional thief, Shi Yuan did not mind a gift. She actually wanted to go steal it.

“Although he has refused, the benefit is nevertheless is even greater.” Wu Siyou slowly said.

“The benefit is even greater?” Shi Yuan was at a loss.

…

Meanwhile, Noble Star Chai Ling and Gu Tong were also comprehending their Heavenly Books. The reason Chai Ling did not agree to sign a contract with Su Xing was that she considered that if she contracted with Su Xing, then the Heavenly Books’ comprehension would receive a restriction and give him trouble. This was the first time Chai Ling had comprehended a Heavenly Book. Her mood was still quite nervous. The Noble Star had become a delicacy more coveted than even Song Jiang. Su Xing also worried for her.

Beside Chai Ling was another Supervoid Stage mighty girl who was like a firebird.

She was Xi Yue.

Ruler Remonstrating Plain.

Chai Ling came to Liangshan Continent’s Metal Element area. Of course, the Good Speech Golden Jade in this place was very relevant to the prestige of the Noble Star. Xi Yue stood guard nearby all along, not saying a word. Twelve Jade Pearl Banners were unfurled, and there was also the Dual Modes Ruler. There was no need to fear an enemy attack.

Gu Tong comprehended the Middle Volume Heavenly Book. She was defeated after the Former Volume Heavenly Book. She was currently at the side, nervously watching the Noble Star. At this time, it was already the seventh day since the Noble Star entered her dream. Accordingly, she should have entered into the rhythm of the Former Volume Heavenly Book, but they did not know how her progress was. The Noble Star did not have martial force. Reportedly, the trial after the Former Volume Heavenly Book was very challenging, and it was not clear if she could pass.

Bored, Gu Tong looked at Xi Yue. This was the first time she had seen a woman with the presence of a firebird, “Why do you stay at Su Xing’s side?” Female Tiger curiously asked.

When she first saw so many Sisters in the Longevity Palace, Gu Tong was shaken. In her heart, there was endless doubt, but she was considered a newcomer. She did not dare speak at all in the Longevity Palace. Now that she had a chance, she finally asked about Su Xing’s unbelievable lifestyle.

Xi Yue knew that she was Tangtang’s mother and was very respectful to Gu Tong. “Sir once saved Lowly Servant’s life…Lowly Servant’s life is now Sir’s.”

“Exactly, he killed this generation’s Strongest Star Master, that Demonkin Taisui, for my Xi Yue’s sake. Hm, hm, you realize Xi Yue is very important to him, right.” Zhang Feiyu raised the flag for her master from the side.

Gu Tong listened with envy.

“Why don’t you sign a contract with Su Xing?” Zhang Feiyu could see that Female Tiger was actually very friendly with Su Xing, let alone that she was also Tangtang’s legitimate mother. Just from the love Tangtang received from all the Sisters in the Longevity Palace, this mother’s standing certainly would not be low.

“Would he want me?” Gu Tong subconsciously asked. Noticing her slip of the tongue, she covered her mouth.

Zhang Feiyu laughed. This Female Tiger turned out to have such an adorable side.

“Hm, hm, why wouldn’t that man want you. He longs to contract all of the Sisters. There would be no need for the Star Duels this way.” Zhang Feiyu disdainfully said.

“But only fifteen can ascend.” Gu Tong still worried about this.

“Fifteen? Oh, you mean the Seven Stars Assembly? Whatever. I see he has already surpassed fifteen. Noble Star Chai Ling is the fourteenth, and Jade Qilin Lu Xiao is the fifteenth. There also seems to be one assassin. In short, he’s already gone past that.” Zhang Feiyu babbled: “If you don’t go, then you’ll really regret it.”

“Is that so?” Gu Tong muttered. However, to have Su Xing contract with her, she honestly could not say the words. In front of his many wives, she felt that she would only contract because she needed his power. This left Gu Tong at a great loss.

“How is Elder Sister Chai Ling right now, what would she think.” Gu Tong said.

“Careful. A Star Master approaches.”

Suddenly, Gu Tong’s expression changed. She read her Latter Volume Heavenly Book. She could clearly sense the Star Masters and Star Generals in a range of a million li.
