"Didn't Patriarch Gu Yuan also teach you not to provoke your enemy when you are at their mercy? Don't you understand such a basic principle?

You, the young lady of the Ancient Clan, are truly good for nothing except for your bloodline.

With such terrifying talent and lineage, you should focus on cultivation. Instead, you spend your days flirting with Xiao Yan, even suppressing your own realm for him, wasting your heaven-defying potential.

At this rate, it won't be long before you end up giving the Ancient Clan and yourself to Xiao Yan as a package deal. The Ancient Clan was truly blind to place their hopes of revival on you."

Hearing Soul Changqing's humiliating words, and being in such a shameful position with him straddling her body, Gu Xun'er felt deep humiliation. She glared at Soul Changqing with unparalleled hatred, her lips tightly pressed together, not uttering a word.

Soul Changqing, seeing the hatred in Gu Xun'er's eyes, said indifferently, "Don't give me that look. The more you hate me, the faster Xiao Yan will die. You guessed right, I don't dare to touch you.

If you die, Gu Yuan will turn the entire Martial Qi Continent upside down. I won't be able to escape. I don't want to die with you, you brainless fool! But I can touch Xiao Yan!

As long as you're safe, Gu Yuan won't go to great lengths for Xiao Yan. The elders of the Ancient Clan won't agree either.

No matter who Xiao Yan is, whether he's a genius or a waste, he's just an ant to them. I feel the same. They won't go to great lengths to find another ant to avenge an ant!

You're just a pampered princess now, without any real power. The Martial Qi Continent is vast. If I want to hide, you won't be able to find me with your current authority.

Unless you break through to Martial Saint and truly wield power, but by then, your Xiao Yan will likely be long dead, hahaha!"

Gu Xun'er first heard Soul Changqing call her a fool and belittle her, making her furious, her teeth grinding. Then, hearing about Xiao Yan, she grew more and more alarmed, more and more afraid. She knew deep down that although Soul Changqing's words were harsh, they were true. The Ancient Clan wouldn't care about Xiao Yan.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er's mind was in chaos, at a loss, and she timidly spoke, "What are you doing this for? What do you want? As long as you don't harm Brother Xiao Yan, I'll give you anything!"

Soul Changqing, seeing Gu Xun'er's cautious demeanor, afraid of offending him again, unlike her earlier attitude of arrogance and confidence despite the danger, smiled in satisfaction and said, "It's simple, three conditions."

"First, you must provide me with the cultivation resources of the Ancient Clan, especially those with yin-cold attributes. If you don't have them, send people to find them, and if they can't find them, go and snatch them. These things should be easy for your Ancient Clan to handle."

"Second, send people to find water similar to the Strange Fire, which possesses mysterious powers. I don't believe this world only has Strange Fire and no secret water, mystic water, or strange water. Whatever it's called, you must find it for me!"

"Third, replicate all the Martial Skills of the Ancient Clan for me. Don't try to tamper with them. If I encounter any problems in my cultivation, Xiao Yan will die a miserable death."

"Just these three requirements, very simple, right? As for why Gu Yuan needs these things, you figure out how to deal with him. If there's any problem, your Brother Xiao Yan will die before I do!"

Gu Xun'er was dumbfounded after hearing Soul Changqing's demands. Good grief, this guy was milking her dry! Who did he think she was?

She was just the direct daughter of the Ancient Clan's patriarch, not the patriarch herself! Her cultivation resources, though much more than others, were not unlimited. How could she explain taking a large amount of resources without increasing her strength significantly?

And that water similar to Strange Fire, what the hell was that? Mystic Water? Strange Water? She had never even heard of such things. Was this guy already crazy because he couldn't refine Strange Fire due to his water-type Martial Qi?

Replicating all the Martial Skills of the Ancient Clan seemed somewhat possible... but no way! Each of the Ancient Clan's secret Martial Skills was incredibly powerful, capable of splitting mountains and destroying cities with a single move.

If the elders in the clan found out that their young lady had given these Martial Skills to someone else just because she liked a man, and that person was from the Soul Temple, even her father as the patriarch would be implicated!

Gu Xun'er raged inwardly but remained outwardly cautious, careful not to show any signs of distress.

"I... I agree, as long as you don't harm Brother Xiao Yan, I will definitely go back and ask my father. He loves me and will surely agree!"

Gu Xun'er quickly agreed, but inwardly she couldn't help but curse. Were these conditions even humanly possible? Did he even listen to what he was saying? Why not just make himself the patriarch of the Ancient Clan?

Given the current situation, Gu Xun'er could only agree for now, going along with Soul Changqing's demands to avoid further provoking him.

Once she was free, she would take the jade slip Soul Changqing gave her to Gu Yuan for study. She believed that her father, one of the strongest on the Martial Qi Continent, would surely have a way to deal with this mere Soul Temple Battle Ancestor's creation.

Once the隐患 left by Xiao Yan was resolved, she, Gu Xun'er, would make this Soul Temple old man understand what it means to be human! Make him regret ever being born!

Soul Changqing, seeing Gu Xun'er's pitiful act, naturally knew what she was thinking. He pinched her chin hard with his fingers.

"Ow...!"

Gu Xun'er cried out in pain, then looked at Soul Changqing in confusion. She had already agreed, so why was he still doing this to her?

Soul Changqing smiled wickedly and rubbed her chin forcefully, saying, "Do you think I can't see through you? Are you planning to agree now, take this strange item back to your father for study, and then have people come to deal with me once it's resolved?"

Gu Xun'er was instantly terrified, her heart filled with fear. She felt that this man was truly terrifying, able to read her thoughts clearly.

Soul Changqing's terrifying figure was deeply etched in her mind, casting a shadow that would remain no matter how strong she became in the future. This was a matter of the heart, not of strength.
