I Can Transfer the Side Effects of Evil Skills

Seeming to see Gongyang Wuji’s struggle, Fairy Taohong smiled sweetly. ”Fellow Daoist, you have always acted as you please. Why agonize over it? Wouldn’t it be better to follow your heart?”

Gongyang Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head. ”My heart doesn’t have a preference for other men. It’s purely because your charm is too great, Fairy, causing my heart to waver.”

”Fellow Daoist, you are too attached to appearances. The distinction between men and women is nothing but a difference in flesh. The harmonious blending of Divine Souls is the true Great Dao of Dual Cultivation!”

Gongyang Wuji tilted his head back, draining the tea in his cup, and said with a smile, ”Does this mean that Fairy Taohong wishes to engage in Dual Cultivation with me?”

Gongyang Wuji found this quite laughable. One must know that no matter what kind of Dual Cultivation Skill it was, it emphasized the harmony of yin and yang. How could yang and yang harmonize?

Unexpectedly, Taohong had long guessed that Gongyang Wuji would have doubts, and was already explaining on her own, ”The Dual Cultivation Dao of the Celestial Court’s Nine Immortal Ascension Skills has long since bypassed the need for a Dual Cultivation partner to be of the opposite sex...

”In short, Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured. Afterward, you will be the one who benefits the most, and it will definitely add a lot of certainty to your battle with Zou Feng!”

Hearing this, Gongyang Wuji became increasingly speechless. What kind of nonsense was this, increasing combat power by tackling a man head-on? This bunch of lunatics from the Celestial Court were truly unhinged beyond comprehension.

After pondering for a moment, Gongyang Wuji felt there was no need to take the risk. Once some things changed, there would be no going back. Just as he was about to decline tactfully, one of Taohong’s Maids hurried over at a trot, clearly having something important to report. Sure enough, the Maid whispered a few words into Taohong’s ear, and Fairy Taohong’s expression abruptly changed.

Gongyang Wuji could have easily eavesdropped, but out of courtesy, he naturally didn’t do so.

”Is that true?” After hearing the report, Fairy Taohong was actually somewhat in disbelief.

The Maid nodded heavily. ”Absolutely true!”

”Step down...”

Only after the Maid retreated did Fairy Taohong look back at Gongyang Wuji.

”What’s wrong? Looking at your expression, Fairy, could it be that the news you just received is related to me?” Gongyang Wuji revealed a deeply interested expression.

Fairy Taohong didn’t beat around the bush and immediately replied, ”According to reliable information, Angry Yama Duan Ruohai of the Yama Underworld has fallen!

”The one who took his life is the True Inheritor of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, Zou Feng!”

CRACK! With a crisp sound, the teacup in Gongyang Wuji’s hand shattered.

”Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Gongyang Wuji stood up abruptly, flicking his sleeves heavily, his eyes full of disbelief. For a Golden Core Realm Cultivator to fight above their level and kill a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator—this was something even he couldn’t do. This wasn’t just a matter of whether one could win or not. Even if a Golden Core could win, if a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator was dead set on escaping, they could just let their Nascent Soul leave the body; a Golden Core Realm Cultivator simply couldn’t make them stay.

”Uh, he’s losing his composure just like that?” Taohong thought. Looking at Gongyang Wuji’s loss of composure, Fairy Taohong’s evaluation of this person immediately plummeted. Originally, she had felt quite regretful that she couldn’t let Gongyang Wuji enter her Warm-hearted depths, but now she felt it didn’t matter anymore.

”Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to panic. There were others who cooperated in the attack. Duan Ruohai was too careless and fell for their scheme...”

Gongyang Wuji then snorted coldly and sat back down. ”I knew it!”

Although knowing that Zou Feng had help to kill the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator made Gongyang Wuji breathe a huge sigh of relief, his previous calm composure and arrogant, unbridled aura had still weakened considerably. After all, even with help, Zou Feng having killed a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator was still a fact. This inevitably made Gongyang Wuji, who originally held a firm belief in his victory, feel Tense.

”Am I really going to have a battle of fortune with this kind of monster?” he wondered.

How could Fairy Taohong not see through this shift in Gongyang Wuji’s expression? He suddenly felt that this kid was highly likely doomed. In his future battle with Zou Feng, unless Gongyang Wuji avoided the fight altogether, otherwise...

”It seems that Gongyang Wuji isn’t the true Child of Fortune,” Taohong mused. ”The one I should be trying to hook up with is actually Zou Feng. It’s just a pity that Zou Feng’s past actions show he treats Tribulation Cultivators as food. Whenever they meet, he absolutely goes straight for the kill, offering no chance to communicate with him at all...”

On the other side, Gongyang Wuji was in a gloomy mood, having long lost the desire to sip tea. Just as he was about to say his goodbyes and leave, the Jade Scroll in his robes suddenly vibrated. This Jade Scroll was a communication Magical Treasure exclusive to the Dubhe Divine Domain Royal Family.

Gongyang Wuji picked it up and looked, only to be surprised to find that this message was actually sent by a senior of the Royal Family who had been in secluded cultivation for a long time. He had never met this senior, but he had heard many tales of his deeds since childhood. Later, for some unknown reason, this senior entered life-and-death seclusion and hadn’t shown any signs of coming out until now.

To think that just recently, this person had actually come out of seclusion? Moreover, the message sent by this senior also left Gongyang Wuji a bit dumbfounded.

”Zou Feng is the Human Gu I raised. In your battle of fortune with him, you only need to defeat him. Do not take his life!”

After a brief moment of shock, Gongyang Wuji was immediately overwhelmed with wild joy. Although he completely didn’t understand why Zou Feng had become this senior’s Human Gu, judging from the meaning in this senior’s words, he would be the one to win the battle of fortune against Zou Feng?

”If not, why would this senior specifically instruct me not to harm Zou Feng’s life?” he reasoned. ”It’s a sure thing. This senior with an extremely high Realm has definitely foreseen the outcome of that battle...”

His confidence, which had originally taken a hit, returned to Gongyang Wuji at this moment. If someone else was certain he would win, he would just listen and leave it at that. But this person was his own patriarch. Furthermore, after being in seclusion for so long, coming out definitely meant he was going to do something major.

”In short, there’s nothing left to worry about. As for Zou Feng, so what if I can’t kill him? I’ll just beat him half to death and present him to the patriarch,” he concluded.
