Chapter 90

Gu Xiu took out the Sumeru Ring and looked at it. The appearance seemed simple and unadorned.

On the ring face, ancient runes were carved.

When his divine sense probed into it, he found that there was a different world inside.

Inside the Sumeru Ring, the space was vast and boundless. Inside was an independent small world, with mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans...

Gu Xiu was very satisfied.

"Although Senior Uncle Duobao gave me a Qiankun bag last time, the Sumeru Ring is obviously much more advanced."

"The holder only needs to move their mind to take out the required items from the Sumeru Ring."

Having said that, he put on the Sumeru Ring.

Following that, he thought for a while.

"Since Jiang Ziya is returning to Chaoge with Wen Zhong, he will definitely be appointed as an official by Di Xin next. This is consistent with Jiang Ziya's original fate. The only difference is that Su Daji is still obedient and did not harm the court, and the rebellions of the princes everywhere are stable, but to prevent accidents and destroy the plan, it is better to go to Chaoge."

Determining the next thing to do, Gu Xiu turned into a stream of light and left the Three Immortals Island.

Using the space law to travel saved a lot of time.

Not long after, outside Chaoge City, in a forest, space fluctuated.

Gu Xiu walked out of it and sighed: "Arriving at Chaoge so quickly, the space law is indeed easy to use."

He glanced at the situation in Chaoge City.

The tall city walls stood majestically. On the city walls, guards stood tall, holding long spears, vigilantly watching every move outside the city.

The city was prosperous and noisy, with people coming and going, extremely lively.

"Very good, it seems that Chaoge has not had any trouble during this period."

Gu Xiu restrained his aura, quietly mixed into the crowd, and entered Chaoge City.

He came to Wen Zhong's Grand Preceptor Mansion and inquired.

He learned that Wen Zhong was pacifying the rebellion outside and had not returned yet.

He shook his head.

"It seems that using the space law to travel is too fast. Alright, I will stay in Chaoge for a few days and wait for them."

He found an inn and stayed there.

During the day, he went to the restaurant to drink and listen to small tunes.

On this day, when Gu Xiu was drinking in the restaurant, he noticed the market in the distance. The originally noisy trading sounds and bargaining sounds were rising and falling, but suddenly everyone became quiet, and it was silent.

Doubt arose in his heart, and he cast his gaze over.

He saw a beauty with a face like a peach blossom and skin that seemed to drip, walking gracefully toward the market.

She was wearing a light blue dress, with a dark green silk ribbon tied around her waist, and her curves were exquisite.

Every step she took was like a weak willow in the wind, swaying gracefully.

Her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention, and they were all shocked by her beauty, standing stunned on the spot.

The men were like being cast with a immobilization spell, staring at her foolishly, their eyes unable to move away for half a minute.

Their mouths were slightly open, and they were as dumb as wooden chickens.

When the woman saw this scene, the corners of her eyes carried a seductive charm, and her eyes flowed, as if she could take people's souls.

"Whose girl is this, actually born so beautiful, like a fairy!" Someone came back to their senses and couldn't help but say in a low voice.

"Look at her skin, it's like congealed fat, blowing and breaking, it doesn't look like a girl from an ordinary family. Could it be the girl of some official."

Many men swarmed up, fighting to get close and strike up a conversation.

"Girl, can you tell me your name?"

"Girl, my family has ten thousand strings of wealth, and I am willing to share the rest of my life with you."

The women showed jealousy, and some felt inferior.

Muttering in their mouths: "This kind of fox-like appearance, I don't know how many people to seduce."

"Hmph, look at her waist twisting, it's really shameless!"

"This appearance, it must be born to bewitch men, I don't know how many rights and wrongs to cause!"

"Look at her eyes, soul-stealing, it's really not a decent woman, and I don't know whose family raised her!"

The women spoke one after another, their words full of jealousy, sour, but couldn't help but peek a few times from time to time.

In the restaurant, Gu Xiu was suspicious.

Among mortals, it is impossible to have such a watery, bewitching woman.

His eyes glowed with golden light, he opened his Heavenly Eye and Heavy Pupils, and directly saw the woman's true body in the market, which was a jade stone that had become a spirit.

After pondering slightly: "Jade Pipa Spirit? Is this going to visit Su Daji?"

"Ding!"

"Jade Pipa Spirit enters the palace to see Su Daji, triggering a random event, please make a choice, Host."

"Option 1: Take action to subdue the demon. Reward: Demon-Binding Lock!" (A chain refined from demon iron, covered with mysterious runes and curses. Once the demon is locked, the runes will light up, producing powerful imprisonment power, making the demon unable to break free.)

"Option 2: Go to talk to her and reveal your relationship with Su Daji. Reward: Demon Soul Contract Book!" (An ancient book scroll, can sign three low-priced demons. After signing a contract with the demon, the demon's soul will be bound by the contract and must obey the orders of the contract owner.)

Coming to Chaoge was to worry about Jiang Ziya's link, and the task was an unexpected joy.

Looking at the options in front of him, Gu Xiu didn't think much and chose two directly.

"Ding!"

"Choice successful. Task time is one hour. Please complete it as soon as possible, Host. The task will be void after the deadline."

"Jade Pipa Spirit, it is the reason why Jiang Ziya fled Chaoge and ran to Xiqi. Although many things are different from the original, if she can be controlled, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

Thinking, Gu Xiu's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in a corner of the market, walking out of it.

The moment the Jade Pipa Spirit caught a glimpse of Gu Xiu, ripples arose in her heart, and she saw color and raised her heart.

She secretly thought, I didn't expect there to be such a handsome man in the mortal world. If my sister knew, she would definitely hate not being able to come out tonight and find him for a night of romance.

Her beautiful eyes flowed, and she had a plan. When Gu Xiu walked over, she deliberately pretended to stumble, let out a coquettish cry, and tilted toward the ground.

Gu Xiu shook his head. This trick is really not very good.

But for the sake of the reward, he still caught her.

The Jade Pipa Spirit took the opportunity to fall into Gu Xiu's arms, raised her head coquettishly, her eyes sparkling, as if containing infinite tenderness, and said coquettishly: "Many thanks for the young master's rescue." That voice was soft and seductive, making many people around hear their bones go numb.

Gu Xiu, however, had a calm expression and gently helped her up: "Girl, be careful." There was no obsession or panic in his eyes.

The Jade Pipa Spirit was surprised. Gu Xiu was actually unmoved.

Unwilling, she bit her lip and said coquettishly: "Young master, this girl's foot is badly sprained, I'm afraid I can't walk."

Gu Xiu said softly: "Jade Pipa Spirit, stop acting."

Although the voice was very light, it exploded like thunder in the ears of the Jade Pipa Spirit.

Her body stiffened suddenly, the charm on her face disappeared without a trace, replaced by full of shock and panic.

"You... you, who are you?"

"Who this seat is, you will know soon. You are planning to enter the palace, right? Say hello to Su Daji for me."

As Gu Xiu's words fell, the prompt that the task was completed sounded.

"Ding!"

"Task completed, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Demon Soul Contract Book!"
