Villainous Cao Cao: Inheriting Everything from the Chosen One

65: Yin Yang Sect Yin Yang Heavenly EmperorLast night, he had already given the Heartless Sword Manual to Su Li, and specifically instructed her to find an opportunity to give the Heartless Sword Manual to Gu Lingshuang to Cultivate.

Gu Lingshuang already hated Lin Dong, so practicing this sword manual would surely yield twice the result with half the effort.

He himself had also tried to Cultivate the Heartless Sword Manual; not only could he practice it, but his progress was also fast, and he had already mastered the basics.

Just as he was thinking about this, Cao Bu caught a glimpse of a graceful figure standing at the edge of the plaza not far behind Gu Lingshuang.

It was Li Xinxue.

She was holding a wine bottle in her hand, her gaze drifting vaguely in this direction.

Cao Bu calmly nodded at her to acknowledge her.

But Li Xinxue didn’t even look at him, turned around, and left.

Cao Bu didn’t mind at all; for Li Xinxue to come here meant she already considered him a friend.

Leng Yue’s gaze swept between Cao Bu and Gu Lingshuang, and seeing the touch of shyness on her daughter’s face, she frowned inwardly.

She knew her daughter too well; with this appearance, it was eight or nine parts likely that she had developed feelings for Cao Bu.

She sighed to herself. Gu Lingshuang’s reputation was now even louder than Cao Bu’s; what ordinary man would dare to choose her?

Would she perhaps really have to remain lonely for the rest of her life?

Then she thought, if Cao Bu didn’t mind, she wouldn’t be unable to nod in agreement.

But as soon as this thought arose, she felt they were ill-suited, and even inexplicably felt that her daughter wasn’t worthy of Cao Bu.

Leng Yue shook her head, casting these unrealistic thoughts aside, and said to Cao Bu, ”Bu’er, let’s go.”

”Alright, Adoptive Mother.”

Leng Yue raised her hand and waved it, and a spatial rift tore open before her.

She reached out and gripped Cao Bu’s shoulder, taking him with her as they stepped into the Void Realm.

In the Void Realm.

A beam of moonlight light flickered and sped towards the direction of Central State.

Leng Yue looked at Cao Bu beside her and suddenly became somewhat dazed.

She hadn’t looked carefully before, but now, examining him closely, she felt this man happened to fit her aesthetic perfectly.

”Adoptive Mother, is there something dirty on my face?” Cao Bu touched his face and asked, feigning confusion.

He already understood in his heart that the closer they were, the faster the love gu would take effect.

This trip to Central State, he must find an opportunity to pull their relationship closer.

Leng Yue snapped back to reality, blinked, and an unnatural flush appeared on her face: ”No, no there isn’t.”

How embarrassing; why had she been staring at Cao Bu for so long? It was too improper.

She hurriedly changed the subject: ”By the way, Bu’er, how much do you know about the Heavenly Pride Battle?”

Cao Bu answered honestly: ”I only know some common knowledge; as for anything deeper, I only understand half of it.”

Leng Yue nodded and explained slowly: ”The Heavenly Pride Battle originated a million years ago.”

”At that time, the war between the righteous and Demonic Paths had been deadlocked, and finally, both sides agreed to use the Heavenly Pride Battle to decide the outcome.”

”Three years later, when the Heavenly Pride Battle ends, the Demon State will send out ten Prodigies to engage in a life-and-death battle with the top ten selected from our side.”

”The losing side must hand over ten billion spirit crystals, ten quasi-emperor weapons, thirty immortal sacred artifacts, and one hundred Sacred Artifacts.”

”In the previous session, with your Adoptive Father there, we won.”

”For these hundred years, they have been holding a grudge, and this time, I fear it won’t be so simple.”

”Furthermore, although the Demon State is one of the thirty-six states of the Spirit Realm, it is larger than any other state. It contains thousands of Demonic Path factions, and even has Heavenly Emperors—not just one.”

Cao Bu’s heart stirred, and he took the opportunity to ask: ”Adoptive Mother, in the entire Spirit Realm, is there anyone who became an Emperor by relying on the Yin-Yang Law?”

Leng Yue didn’t think much of it and nodded directly: ”Yes, and their strength is very powerful.”

”Who is it?” Cao Bu almost blurted out.

This person was his future enemy; he had to be prepared in advance.
