RPAGF Chapter 183 Hu Mingxin
Chapter 183 Hu Mingxin
The next day, Gu Yuchuan woke up late, which was unusual for him. When he woke up, it was already noon. Since it was so late, he decided to have lunch there again before going home.
After arriving home, he began to think about something: Hu Mingxin's matter. The other party's desire for revenge had never ceased, and he had even colluded with the crown prince of the Dayong Dynasty. So, could this connection be of any help to him? It certainly could be helpful.
The Dayong Dynasty has far more territory and cultivators than them, and its resources are also far greater. Although the Crown Prince is of a lower generation, he holds a high position and can mobilize a great deal of resources. If they communicate well, he can become an asset. Therefore, Hu Mingxin needs to be carefully nurtured.
He summoned Hu Mingxin to his secret chamber. Hu Mingxin was somewhat at a loss. Since she came to the Flood Dragon Palace, she had been like a transparent person. She had no official position, and her cultivation resources were much less than her sister's. Although she could receive resources, she knew that it was just for show. She was afraid that this meeting would be to drive her away.
She knelt down upon seeing Gu Yuchuan: "This little demon greets Your Majesty."
Gu Yuchuan simply told her to get up. Even after all this time, he still wasn't used to people kneeling before him like this: "Get up. I called you here today because there's something I need to discuss with you."
To everyone's surprise, after he finished speaking, Hu Mingxin did not get up, but instead burst into tears: "Please, Your Majesty, don't send me away. I don't need any resources in the future, I just ask Your Majesty to give me a place to stay."
"Huh?" This time, it was Gu Yuchuan who was stunned. He didn't mean it that way at all; this was slander.
"You're overthinking it. Now that I've brought you back, you're a member of my Flood Dragon Palace. I won't send you away. If you're willing, you can live here with your sister for the rest of your life."
Hu Mingxin realized that she had overthought things and quickly stood up: "I was just assuming the king's mindset from a young woman's perspective. The king is a man of great stature, and his thoughts are definitely different from mine. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I don't know what Your Majesty has summoned me for, but I certainly won't refuse."
Only then did they begin to get down to business.
"Hu Mingxin, you have never forgotten your hatred, have you? You are so smart, much smarter than your sister. You must have realized that the destruction of your Hu family was definitely not something the Ghost King of Mangshan did on his own. He wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a City God. There must be someone behind him, and it is very likely that they are from the capital. Am I right?"
Her eyes were red. Although she didn't know why Gu Yuchuan was asking this at this moment, she really couldn't bring herself to say anything to hide it.
“Your Majesty has discerning eyes. My thoughts cannot be hidden. I do have this intention. Even though my aptitude is not good, I am a daughter of the Hu family. I cannot let go of this hatred in my heart. I will cultivate diligently and will definitely avenge my family.”
Gu Yuchuan actually admired this kind of personality. The hatred of one's family is indeed something that cannot be forgotten. If it were him, he would not forget it either.
"Men always have to endure hardship and bide their time to take revenge, but it's not so difficult for women to take revenge, especially beautiful women. Even those with low cultivation levels have their own methods. Now, cooperation between humans and demons is just around the corner."
Hu Mingxin now understood perfectly well that Gu Yuchuan was helping her infiltrate the human race. So, she knelt down again: "Your Majesty, this humble demon is ignorant and cannot fathom Your Majesty's thoughts. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty. This humble demon will surely repay Your Majesty in the future."
Since she had already said so much, she might as well just be frank and say it directly: "Alright, then I'll just say it straight. Beautiful women can naturally conquer men, especially you fox demons. I believe in your methods of dealing with men. The Crown Prince of the Great Yong Dynasty is young and vigorous. As long as you win him over, even if you don't become the Crown Prince's consort, as long as you get a decent rank and are later made a concubine, this revenge will naturally not be difficult to achieve."
Hu Mingxin's eyes lit up; clearly, he was interested in the idea.
"Please teach me, senior. If one day I am truly made a concubine in the Dayong Dynasty, I will definitely repay the king and also give my sister a lot of resources. My sister is my only family."
Gu Yuchuan placed the Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique in his hand: "Take this and cultivate it well. I don't understand how you will communicate with the Crown Prince; you'll have to figure that out yourself. But what I do know is that by concealing your demon identity, at least in front of those officials, the Crown Prince will be more likely to dote on you. Go and cultivate diligently. The day you go to the human realm isn't far off. If you can't even get the basics down, things will get more difficult."
She took it, knelt down and kowtowed three times. When she looked up, her forehead was red: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely cultivate diligently after I return."
After she left, Gu Yuchuan stopped thinking about it. This move was just a side move. It would be good if there were any gains, but if there were no gains, he could end it. After all, what he had put in was really not much, and it could even be said that it was a risk-free deal with huge profits.
He continued his cultivation, hoping to achieve a good ranking in the arena battle between the human and demon races. Therefore, if he wanted to advance to the Golden Core stage, he could only continue to work hard. Without advancing to the Golden Core stage, he would have no chance of defeating the Holy Son of Longhu Mountain. Being in the same era as such a prodigy was indeed quite stressful.
He went into seclusion again. Under pressure, his cultivation speed actually increased somewhat, and he was getting closer and closer to the Golden Core stage. It was believed that he would be able to advance to the Golden Core stage soon. However, no one knew whether he could break through before the arena battle.
Soon, a week had passed. His accumulation of knowledge had indeed become more substantial, but he was still quite far from reaching the Golden Core stage. The human-demon arena battle had been finalized, and they would set off in a few days. However, they gave him two options: go on his own or, like in a simulator, go with a fox spirit. Gu Yuchuan immediately chose to go on his own. He wanted to see the human world. Although he had been there before, he had always kept it hidden, which had never been comfortable. This time, he wanted to truly see the prosperous world of cultivation.
