After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 185 - 184: Bewitching Gu An
Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Bewitching Gu An
Arriving at the Blood God Wood, Gu An didn’t rush to switch locations.
The strangeness of the person before him made him want to observe further.
Besides, this person was very likely to trigger the Ring of Destiny.
He had to figure out the name.
Otherwise, even if triggered, he wouldn’t know who it was.
"Sister, did you just arrive?" Gu An took the initiative to speak.
Lou Jin, appearing to be in her early twenties, carried herself with a casual grace, her slim figure, beautiful features, and skin smooth as jade complemented by eyes as deep as autumn waters and slightly parted red lips as if ready to melt into the gentle sunlight.
Her clothing was simple, yet elegant.
Hearing Gu An’s question, she nodded respectfully: "Replying to Brother, sister hails from Qianchen Peak, I heard there was a shortage of hands here, so I came over.
However, I still don’t know the specific duties, and I hope Brother does not begrudge his guidance."
Gu An nodded and then inquired about her name.
Only then did he find out her name was Lou Jin, who seemed not to have been assigned any missions before.
Her main duty was logging.
But for someone at Perfect Foundation Establishment logging Blood God Wood, there was no sign of emaciation on her body.
She still had fair skin and a beautiful appearance.
How could that be possible?
At this moment, she reached out to smooth her hair, whispering softly: "With Brother’s help in the future, I won’t have to tire myself too much. Having Brother to rely on makes me feel somewhat happy."
Listening to her, Gu An felt that she was quite pitiable.
Then he glanced at her status.
Without a doubt, she fell under the spell of a Charming Technique.
It had been a long time since he had seen anyone use it.
Ren Shan used to love using it, and he didn’t know if she ended up dead or not.
But her daughter was still with Chu Meng.
When he had time, he could perhaps ask about her condition.
"Leave it to me, I’m good at logging," Gu An said earnestly.
As if he had fallen under the Charming Technique.
After that, they started logging.
Gu An covertly observed her.
He noticed that while she logged, her Blood Qi was hardly drained.
Not only that, she was also attempting to absorb it.
As such, the quality of the Blood God Wood would be affected.
Gu An sighed internally, really not afraid of being discovered.
Since she dared to do this, it meant she wasn’t here for a long-term undercover operation.
Rather, she had a certain goal to accomplish.
If the Ring of Destiny reacted.
Then the mission could be completed tonight.
Not even half a two-hour period had passed when Lou Jin came to Gu An, with a pitiful expression:
"Brother, I’m feeling a bit unwell, can, can I go back to rest for a while?"
"Alright," Gu An immediately nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lou Jin’s face lit up with excitement: "Having Brother is indeed the best."
Afterward, she left quickly.
Gu An watched her retreating figure, his eyes downcast.
He was able to confirm that she was not a person of his Sect, and most likely belonged to the Blood Refining Sect.
But how many others there were remained uncertain.
For now, it seemed that her cultivation level was Golden Core Middle Stage.
Not having detected her before must have been due to the improvements in his Qi Breathing Chapter.
Still, he couldn’t see clearly, but only caught a glimpse.
It looked like he needed to properly comprehend both the Qi Breathing Chapter and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires - both of these enhanced control and understanding over power.
Putting away his axe, Gu An headed to the Heart Devouring Wood.
It wouldn’t take long for his technique to be full.
This time’s upgrade of Seven Emotions and Six Desires was mainly to ward off the Charming Technique.
Also, to prevent people from seeing emotional fluctuations.
Once one’s thoughts were pierced through, it would be dangerous.
Logging continued until deep into the night.
When Gu An felt the Warm Current, he slowly set down the axe.
Only then did Gu An glance at the panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Cultivation: Golden Core Late Stage]
[Status: Poisoned, Heart Poison entered the body, integrating with the poison.]
[Magic: 50/50]
[Hard Cultivation: 49/100]
[Ring of Destiny]
It took over a month to fill up.
The accumulation would only slow down from here, and currently, Heart Devouring Wood was the limit, it was absolutely impossible to log other types of wood.
To complete the Qi Sea Sky Gang, at least one year was required.
Shaking his head with a sigh, Gu An let the energy from the axe be absorbed by the rocks before returning to his room.
By the time he returned, it was past midnight.
Indeed, the Ring of Destiny had begun to vibrate.
Not daring to hesitate, Gu An immediately checked.
[Yesterday morning, Lou Jin followed you logging, casting a Charming Technique on you, hoping that you would log well. She then went to discuss subsequent plans with an accomplice.
She thought your resolve would be firm since most Golden Core cultivations in advanced age rely on mental strength rather than talent.
However, the success of the Charming Technique made her question life, feeling you were as falsely Golden Core as someone at Foundation Establishment, simply contemptible.
She felt by merely beckoning you would kneel at her feet, disgusting, and dismissive.
In the afternoon, she discussed your situation with her accomplices, who thought it was good news and that you could be used later.
Afterward, they exchanged information, indicating that their people were gradually getting closer, and once everything was ready, they could take action.]
Gu An furrowed his brow as he looked at the feedback.
He only knew their people were closing in, no more.
Nor did he know who her accomplices were.
But they looked down on him and wanted to use him.
This...
Both the good and weak are to be used.
He wasn’t sure if they would use the strong.
Afterwards, Gu An did not hesitate to enhance his technique, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
In the dream, Gu An recited the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
His mind was clear and aware, sense his own emotions.
As the recitation of Seven Emotions and Six Desires continued, Gu An became more aware of his emotions.
Day after day, year after year.
When Gu An saw his own fury, the dream ended.
Gu An felt he had mastered the second emotion, anger.
At this moment, his mind was purer, his thoughts more ethereal.
He possessed a clearer understanding of techniques.
"This Seven Emotions and Six Desires is truly formidable."
Gu An sighed with appreciation, and then it was time to rest.
The days that followed were spent logging.
Although he was aware of the infiltration by the Demon Sect, it had little to do with him.
