Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 28: The Bridal Chamber, Candlelit Night – Su Changsheng, I Hate You

Inside the bridal chamber, the candlelight flickered.

Su Changsheng slowly lifted the red veil, revealing the exquisite and unparalleled face of Gu Qingge. Her eyes were adorned with captivating makeup, adding a touch of allure to her appearance. Her lips were painted a deep red, enhancing her charm.

In the dim light, the lady in red stood alone, her gaze cold and her lips slightly bitten, showing her determination as she looked at Su Changsheng. Her gaze held hatred, anger, humiliation, and even a hint of complicated and inexplicable affection.

“Come, Qingge, let’s toast to our union!” Su Changsheng smiled and poured the spirit wine from the nearby table, handing it to Gu Qingge.

“…”

Gu Qingge’s expression remained cold. Although unwilling, she reluctantly accepted the wine.

“I will never forgive you!”

Gu Qingge raised her head, her gaze icy as she spoke chillingly to Su Changsheng.

“I will make you remember me for the rest of your life, even if it’s through hatred!”

Su Changsheng chuckled lightly. He had known the consequences of his actions from the beginning, but since he had decided, he would not regret it. Even without the system, he would still act this way!

“Clank!”

The wine glasses clinked together as they made a toast. Gu Qingge finished her drink, and a delicate blush rapidly spread across her beautiful face. Her eyes glistened with watery light, exuding a captivating charm.

Her mind became slightly hazy. The spirit wine was extremely high quality and even ordinary Dao phase cultivators would hesitate to drink too much. Although Gu Qingge was the Heavenly Empress, she had only recently been reborn and was only at the Qi Sea realm, naturally unable to resist its effects.

“Su Changsheng!”

Perhaps due to the effects of the wine, Gu Qingge became bold. It was as if she had regained the grace of the empress from her previous life. She pulled Su Changsheng closer, her voice carrying a hint of flirtation.

“As the Empress, I should take the initiative!” With a blush in her eyes, Gu Qingge fiercely proclaimed, then decisively pressed her lips against Su Changsheng.

“Hmm!”

Su Changsheng stared at her with slightly widened eyes, surprised by Gu Qingge’s tightly closed eyes and trembling eyelashes. He couldn’t help but smile inwardly. Indeed, she was still quite inexperienced!

“Pfft!”

With a gentle flick of his finger, the candle flame went out. Gu Qingge’s delicate body was pressed down onto the bed, her red clothes removed, revealing her skin as white as jade. It was as if she were an exquisite ivory sculpture, captivating and enticing.

“Hmm!”

Soon, accompanied by a muffled moan, Gu Qingge cried out with a teary voice.

“Su Changsheng, I hate you!”

It really hurt!

It was the first time she had experienced such pain in two lifetimes as if it was more agonizing than bone-chilling. But within this pain, there was also a hint of sweetness. And thus, the next three days and three nights passed by.

As Su Changsheng immersed himself in the realm of tenderness, the entire True Saint Continent was in turmoil because of him. Numerous forces were shaken, including top-tier and first-class powers. Even the revered Tai Shi Sect and the unruly Crimson Refining Demon Palace, known for causing worldwide chaos, focused on him.

All this happened due to the destruction of the headquarters of the once-revered Wan Beast Sect, which ruled over vast lands. The ancient sect had been completely wiped out! The extensive sect’s headquarters, spanning thousands of miles, had been reduced to ruins. One-third of the Wan Beast Mountain Range was obliterated, leaving terrifying craters and traces of powerful stellar Dao techniques.

After thorough investigations by top-tier powers, it was concluded that Su Changsheng was responsible for eradicating the Wan Beast Sect. Although it was hard to believe, it took him about fifteen minutes to accomplish this feat. The True Saint Continent was astounded. Even forces from nearby continents took notice of the matter.

“It’s incredible! That was the Wan Beast Sect! Even with the loss of one ancestral Saint, they had an even stronger one remaining. With their heritage, even a Saint at the Sixth Heaven would hesitate to challenge them. Yet, Su Changsheng managed to destroy them!”

“Is he just a newly ascended Saint? His strength is too terrifying!”

“Su Changsheng must be more than an ordinary Saint. He’s at least at the Sixth Heaven and possesses a top-grade Saint Weapon. That’s his true strength!”

“That’s right. He must have obtained a great opportunity to become this powerful. The Wan Beast Sect was so eager to go after it they must have discovered some secret they wanted to seize. But Su Changsheng silenced them!”

“I wonder what secret it was that even attracted Saints’ attention!”

“It’s truly terrifying. Su Changsheng’s current strength is likely approaching the pinnacle of the True Saint Continent. Which ancestor could surpass him besides the two overlords among the top-tier forces?”

In the following days, the entire True Saint Continent buzzed with excitement. Countless forces discussed Su Changsheng, and various sect masters and Saint-level experts were shocked by his actions. Many powerful individuals speculated about his true strength.

“The major forces are concealing their true power. Perhaps there is an old ancestor who can suppress Su Changsheng, but at least on the surface, he is the number one among the top saints and ancestors of the True Holy Continent!”

“The number one person in the True Holy Continent!”

“Hiss, the Su family has truly risen. Although they only have one saint ancestor, just with this one Changsheng Saint, they are enough to rank among the strongest top forces, comparable to the Lingxu Sword Sect!”

“It’s incredible!”

Countless cultivators expressed their amazement and shock. Even the Tai Shi Sect and the Crimson Refining Demon Palace, the two hegemonic forces, had their strongest individuals paying attention, their eyes filled with uncertainty, and the runes of the Great Dao surged with a resounding sound. They observed Su Changsheng’s actions and debated how to handle him.

“Do not provoke him!”

“Su Changsheng’s power has reached new heights. The True Holy Continent might not be able to control him anymore. We must establish a good relationship with him!”

“While we are not afraid, we should also avoid unnecessary provocation.”

The saint ancestors of the Wang family, the Hunyuan Sect, and the Lingxu Sword Sect had different opinions. Even the formidable Lingxu Sword Sect, although not fearing Su Changsheng’s strength, preferred not to offend him easily.

“Quick, mobilize the troops, seize the resources of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect!”

“The fall of such a top force means vast resources for the taking. We can use this opportunity to expand our sect!”

“But won’t this provoke Su Changsheng?”

“Hmph, although Su Changsheng is strong, he can’t swallow the Ten Thousand Beast Sect in one go. All the top forces cooperate in this operation, and he alone cannot stop us!”

One top force after another set out to plunder the territory and resources of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Even first-rate forces sought to snatch some benefits from behind.

In response, the Su family also took action, deploying three thousand Dharma Realm experts and thirty quasi-half-saints in the Eternal Era Realm—a formidable force.

With Su Changsheng’s power, many top forces chose to retreat, allowing the Su family to seize nearly one-third of the resources and occupy significant territory. The Su family’s resources doubled instantly.

“These top forces are despicable. Su Changsheng destroyed the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, yet they dare to snatch the spoils, taking away more than half of the resources!”

In the main hall, the elders of the Su family expressed their resentment.
