He subdued them, giving them a profound lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two chat a bit longer—I’ll go outside and tidy up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suzhen looked at Gu Qing and Xiao Qing, nodded gently, and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing chores outside so early in the morning was normally a maid’s duty, but to Bai Suzhen, Gu Qing and Xiao Qing were deeply entangled in affection, while she herself bore greater guilt—she was repaying a debt, and after waking, felt utterly uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing, how dare you be disrespectful to your elder sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Suzhen left, Xiao Qing scolded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps fate had already sealed it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing held Xiao Qing close and comforted her: “Your sister and I were favored by the Immortals—the Purple Emperor’s mortal parents…” Gu Qing briefly recounted the past, explaining to Xiao Qing his helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing, Gu Qing chose Bai Suzhen as the mother of the Purple Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qing listened silently, nodded, and as she turned to leave, pinched Gu Qing hard, saying: “I don’t believe a word you say—when Xu Xian married, you told me you harbored longing for my sister and feared you’d betray me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, indeed, you have betrayed me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, Xiao Qing’s tone held more reproach than anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xiao Qing about to leave, Gu Qing quickly taught her the incantation passed down by the Immortal of the South Pole, enabling her to regulate the poison within her demonic core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweeping the courtyard, offering thanks to the Immortals, preparing meals—when Gu Qing opened the gate, a Daoist stood outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing, come with us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daoist’s face was grim, his gaze filled with fury as he stared at Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May I ask…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing raised his hand slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maoshan Sect, Chang Su!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daoist Chang Su said coldly: “Gu Qing, you were initiated into our Maoshan Sect—how dare you kill one of our Daoists?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maoshan Daoist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing rubbed his ear, asking: “Are you here on behalf of Wang Daoling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Daoling, this toad demon, had posed as a Daoist while wandering the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Su nodded and said: “Our Maoshan Daoists are already waiting before the City God Temple.

Gu Qing, our Maoshan lineage is ancient—any Immortal we summon would be beyond your capacity to withstand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hangzhou City, Gu Qing could summon wind and rain, but compared to Maoshan’s depth, he was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you can communicate with Immortals, you must know the truth behind Wang Daoling’s death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said calmly; the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper had manifested—the truth was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jing-level Daoist from Maoshan snorted and said: “We truly don’t know!” As he spoke, he chanted a spell, invoking the Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing held Bai Suzhen motionless, letting the Jing-level Daoist summon the Immortals; the Immortal energy surged, and as the Daoist looked at Gu Qing and Bai Suzhen, he saw auspicious stars and radiant clouds encircling them, purple qi at their foreheads, radiant red light on their faces—this unparalleled fortune surpassed even that of the current Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Heavenly Deity incarnate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jing-level Daoist’s legs buckled, sweat pouring down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had their ancestor’s guidance led them here to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think clearly before you come back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s voice was calm as he shut the courtyard gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suzhen gently touched her lower abdomen; her cultivation was profound, and last night, while with Gu Qing, she had already known she was pregnant—and the child’s fortune was unparalleled; now, whether Buddhist, Daoist, or demonic arts, none could harm Bai Suzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even around her, a hundred spirits now guarded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suzhen lowered her gaze slightly and said: “When this child is born…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The debt will be repaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing reached out, embracing Bai Suzhen, and pointed to his chest: “Bai Suzhen, how will you repay what you owe me?” His voice trembled with urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suzhen raised her eyes; Gu Qing’s arms encircled her, lifting her up, and the two, just risen, headed once more toward the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their marital affection needed further strengthening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qing is still here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suzhen immediately stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qing has gone to practice the secret technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suzhen covered her abdomen with her hand and said: “I’ve just conceived—I can’t bear shocks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gently laid Bai Suzhen on the bed and said calmly: “If this were an ordinary child, yes, we’d need to guard it carefully—but our child is different; he bears the destiny of the Purple Star, his fate is unbreakable—he won’t suffer any harm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Gu Qing swept his hand, once again stirring Chang’e Xianzi above, prompting her to extinguish the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Suzhen hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is called: \"Spare the rod, spoil the child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1194,"2026-06-20T17:04:27.745Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2924ce84d12ede386d81c6ab6411f998bc9332fc68b46b673b6a2bb13bcb1106","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-375","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-373",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
