Chapter 3: Standing alone on an empty bed, building the foundation overnight!
Without any hesitation, Gu Jiancheng directly chose to use the Burning Heaven Overlord Body, and in an instant, a scorching warm current swept through his entire body.
Although he still has no cultivation, Gu Jiancheng feels that his whole body is full of power, enough to split stone and shatter gold!
Thinking of this, Gu Jiancheng looked around and found that Yunshuiyao was gone.
"Somebody come!"
"Where is the Imperial Consort?"
"Your Highness, the Imperial Consort is in the Flying Star Tower," the red-clad eunuch outside the hall replied.
"Flying Star Tower?"
Gu Jiancheng was slightly taken aback.
The Flying Tower was built by Emperor Gu Chenyuan to celebrate his 100th day. It is 800 feet tall and is the highest point in the entire palace.
When Gu Jiancheng arrived in front of Feixing Tower, he indeed saw Yunshuiyao standing alone on the rooftop, desolate and lonely.
Her purple hair danced in the air, shimmering with a fluorescent light, making even the countless stars and the bright moon pale in comparison.
Gu Jiancheng smiled slightly and then immediately used the Four Symbols Realm Summoning Card.
The next moment, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of Gu Jiancheng and bowed.
"Your subordinate Yuan Zhong, please give your orders, Master."
"Can you self-destruct?" Gu Jiancheng asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Self-destruct?" Yuan Zhong frowned, but nodded despite his doubts: "Okay!"
"Alright, then go to the highest heavens and obey my orders. You may blow yourself up at any time."
After saying this, Gu Jiancheng headed straight for Feixing Tower.
"Master, I possess the combat strength of the Four Symbols Realm!"
Yuan Zhong suspected that his ears were damaged.
"I know, remember to fry it brightly!" But Gu Jiancheng didn't even turn his head.
He naturally knew how terrifying the Four Symbols Realm was, even surpassing his father's Core Formation Realm by two realms. Even if he sold the entire Great Qian Dynasty, he couldn't buy a single Four Symbols Realm cultivator.
But money is for women to see, not for spending. He wanted to give himself and Yunshuiyao a unique wedding!
(Note: Summoning cards are blank cards, and you can freely choose powerful characters to summon repeatedly. Yuan Zhong will appear again later; he's a very interesting old man.)
On the upper floor of Feixing Tower, Yunshuiyao stood by the railing, her expression as cold as ice.
Now her mind is in turmoil, filled with mixed feelings.
She got married in a daze. In the Upper Realm, she was an empress, yet she didn't even have a Daoist partner, let alone get married.
She was, after all, a woman, and Gu Jiancheng was not her ideal type. Today's wedding was not as romantic as she had imagined.
That's it.
She was, after all, a person with the imperial body, and was worlds apart from the sixth prince; they were not from the same world. She would leave soon.
"It's windy here, don't catch a cold."
At that moment, a large, warm coat was suddenly draped over her shoulders, bringing Yun Shuiyao back to her senses.
She looked at Gu Jiancheng. Although the latter was still wearing a bright red wedding dress, his temperament seemed quite different from before.
“I know my wife is not happy today.” Gu Jiancheng suddenly laughed. “My wife and I did not know each other before. People say that I am a womanizer and that I am very fond of you.”
"But, my wife, it's best not to get to know me from other people's words."
"Some people are in the mud, but they don't live in the mud."
Yun Shuiyao remained silent, simply gazing coldly at the scenery of the capital.
No matter how eloquently eloquently a person speaks, it is of no use to her.
Moreover, standing atop the Flying Star Tower, one can overlook the entire palace, while the other princes' residences remain brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Although the sixth prince is favored, he is unlikely to ascend the throne; all the flattery is merely a performance.
"By the way, does my wife like fireworks?" Gu Jiancheng asked again when he saw that Yun Shuiyao remained unmoved.
"Fireworks?" Yun Shuiyao frowned.
She was curious to see what other tricks the sixth prince could pull.
"This is it!"
Gu Jiancheng snapped his fingers.
Immediately, Yuan Zhong, high in the sky, self-destructed with tears in his eyes.
hum!
In an instant, countless auspicious colors appeared, like rosy clouds hanging down, fleeting and dazzling, earth-shattering, all the lights in the world went out, only this place remained bright.
"This……"
Even Yunshuiyao was slightly taken aback at this moment.
She still couldn't sense the aura of the Four Symbols Realm, let alone know how Gu Jiancheng had managed to do it.
"I will eventually shine brightly in the world, just like these fireworks, and be invincible in all realms." Gu Jiancheng looked at the falling fireworks and suddenly laughed.
"Invincible across all realms?"
"you?"
Yun Shuiyao couldn't help but twitch her lips and said, "Do you know that there are countless geniuses and imperial families in this world?"
Gu Jiancheng, however, is now nothing more than a cripple.
That's incredibly arrogant.
"Heh heh, without the ancestral blessing, I alone am the emperor!"
"If you can grow wings on your own, why do you need to rely on a ladder to the clouds?"
"You're not in good health, don't stay here too long."
Gu Jiancheng simply smiled faintly, then turned and left with a flourish.
"One person is the emperor's family..."
Yun Shuiyao stood there, pondering Gu Jiancheng's words. For some reason, Gu Jiancheng's words had stirred her heart.
"Ding!
The system detected Yun Shuiyao's emotional fluctuations, granting the host +10 points in strategy points!
Strategy points?
Has Yunshuiyao already begun to fall in love?
At the corner of the flying building, Gu Jiancheng looked at the system notification and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
In his past life, he was a short video influencer, revered as the master of picking up girls, a little empress, and he could easily handle them.
On the way back, Gu Jiancheng also learned about the newly added strategy value in the system.
This is considered a fixed reward mechanism of the system, which is divided into four stages: strategy value, heart-fluttering value, sweetness value, and affection value.
The system will also provide special rewards for each stage you break through.
You can gain strategy points by arousing Yunshuiyao's emotions and through physical contact with resources, such as kissing and holding hands.
Furthermore, strategy points can be used to purchase items in the system shop. Gu Jiancheng checked and found that his 10 strategy points could only be exchanged for some high-quality low-level cultivation pills, which were not very tempting for him.
In contrast, there were other treasures in the store that greatly tempted Gu Jiancheng.
For example, a beginner's guide to weapon crafting that adds 100 points of strategy points, a skill advancement card that adds 100 points of strategy points, and a White Spirit Cold Fire that adds 500 points of strategy points.
"Looks like I need to find a way to get more strategy points as soon as possible." Gu Jiancheng looked at the system shop, feeling quite confident.
As the master of seduction in his past life, even if Yunshuiyao is an iceberg, he will still melt her heart.
"By the way, kissing and holding hands can increase your romance points, so is there a reward for consummating your marriage?"
Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked, "That was a deep exchange where we knew each other inside and out."
"Ding! The host can receive a mysterious gift reward for consummating the marriage, but Shui Yunyao must be willing."
voluntary!?
However, Gu Jiancheng was greatly disappointed upon hearing this.
The Empress of the Upper Realm of Yunshuiyao is as cold as an iceberg. She has never smiled at him before. How could she possibly consummate the marriage willingly?
"Ding! If the host has not consummated the marriage on the wedding night, the achievement of 'keeping an empty bed alone' will be completed, and an extra reward will be obtained."
But then, the system notification sounded again.
Extra rewards for achievements!?
This offered Gu Jiancheng some consolation.
The Sixth Prince's residence, his sleeping quarters.
Shui Yunyao, who had come down from Feixing Tower, sat on the wedding bed, but at this moment, she was tightly gripping a pair of scissors in her hand.
She was resolute; if the sixth prince forced her to consummate their marriage, she would rather die with him.
Marrying a mortal with a useless body was already her bottom line.
Her body will only be given to the one she loves, and that person must stand at the pinnacle of all realms, reigning supreme for eternity!
hum!
Just then, Gu Jiancheng pushed open the door and entered, carrying two glasses of wine.
Her eyes were like stars, filled with deep affection.
"My lady, let's drink the nuptial wine." Gu Jiancheng handed her a cup of wine.
Yun Shuiyao remained calm and composed, and she and Gu Jiancheng drank the nuptial wine together, their necks intertwined.
Gu Jiancheng put down his wine glass, a wanton smile playing on his lips, and suddenly leaned forward.
Yun Shuiyao's pretty face suddenly turned cold and fierce. She was forced back until Gu Jiancheng pinned her to the bed.
The scissors hidden in his sleeve were already tightly gripped, hovering behind Gu Jiancheng.
If Gu Jiancheng makes another frivolous move, she will stab him without hesitation!
"Heh, you think it's that easy for me, the prince, to warm your bed?"
Gu Jiancheng's scorching breath brushed against Yun Shuiyao's cheek, but to her surprise, Gu suddenly stood up, and the frivolous look on his face vanished instantly.
"Today, my lady, please rest here."
"I'm going to rest in the side hall. If you're afraid of the dark, you can call me."
Then, under Yun Shuiyao's questioning gaze, Gu Jiancheng put away his wine glass and turned to leave without looking back.
Could it be that he doesn't want to consummate their marriage?
Is it because she despises her own ugly appearance?
O man!
Soon, Yunshuiyao understood everything and sneered inwardly.
He really is a lecherous and womanizing prince!
When Gu Jiancheng arrived at the side hall to rest, he looked at the cold bedding and felt lost.
He saw the scissors hidden in Shui Yunyao's sleeve and knew that the Empress would never give him any opportunity to take advantage of her.
Moreover, he needed to win over the Empress to gain conquest points, so he had no choice but to endure it.
"Ding! System notification: Congratulations to the host for achieving the feat of 'keeping an empty bed alone'. Reward: Foundation Building Card*1, Phoenix Bone Golden Soup*10."
The reward has arrived!
The system notification sound warmed his heart, which had been feeling extremely cold, and he quickly opened the system package.
[Foundation Building Card]: Upon use, you will immediately gain the cultivation level of the initial stage of Foundation Building.
【Phoenix Bone Golden Soup】: An ancient medicinal soup containing a trace of phoenix power, which can awaken part of the phoenix-type life soul. The effect is even better after being heated with spiritual fire!
Foundation Establishment Card!?
Gu Jiancheng's eyes widened as he looked at the system package.
Is this what they call a reward for good deeds?
It’s so perverted!
Although he didn't receive the reward of consummating their marriage, Gu Jiancheng was already very satisfied.
It should be noted that even with his spiritual talent and years of cultivation, the eldest prince is only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage in the Tai Xuan Sect.
Therefore, Gu Jiancheng did not hesitate to consume a Foundation Establishment card.
hum!
In an instant, a surge of heat filled his limbs and bones.
Even in his every move, a burning heat could be faintly seen rising!
"Is this what it feels like to be in the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Gu Jiancheng clenched his fists tightly, as if he possessed the power to split mountains.
Even though he has not yet cultivated any martial arts techniques, he is still capable of fighting a thousand armored soldiers alone!
Immediately, Gu Jiancheng took out the Phoenix Bone Golden Soup. He knew that this soup was actually prepared by the system for Yunshuiyao.
But where can we get this spirit-level fire seed?
That's an even rarer talent than a spirit-level physique, and a natural spirit-level fire seed is extremely rare; you can't find one in the entire Great Qian Dynasty!
"Host, the Burning Heaven Overlord Body will automatically generate a fire seed as its cultivation level advances!"
But at this moment, the system's voice rang out in Gu Jiancheng's mind again.
"Oh!? It has this wonderful use?"
Gu Jiancheng was slightly taken aback, then raised his hand, a thought flashing through his mind.
boom!
Sure enough, a crimson flame suddenly burst forth from his palm.
His character panel also changed.
Gu Jiancheng
Realm: Foundation Establishment Realm (Third Realm of Cultivation)
Physique: Heaven-Burning Overlord Physique.
Talent: Divine Eye of Insight; Evolutionary Skill - Molten Gold Blazing Flame (Spirit Rank 1) is activated.
Technique: None.
It turns out that this fire is called Molten Gold Blazing Flame, which sounds extremely domineering!
"Now everything is ready!"
Gu Jiancheng was overjoyed.
The next day.
In the Sixth Prince's residence, Yun Shuiyao sat cross-legged on her bed, wearing only a close-fitting bodice.
She didn't sleep all night, partly because she was afraid that Gu Jiancheng would return and force himself on her.
Secondly, I must strive to restore my shattered dantian.
hum!
The next moment, Yun Shuiyao's tightly closed beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and a cold glint shone brightly in her pale purple pupils.
A layer of protective energy rose up around her.
"Early stage of Qi Sea Realm!"
"Although my Nether Phoenix Soul is still sealed, the imperial aura that is just overflowing is enough to repair my dantian."
“Gu Jiancheng, now that my cultivation has recovered, it seems that fate is decreed that I must leave you ahead of schedule.”
Yunshuiyao whispered, "Now she only needs to awaken her life soul!"
