The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Upon the vast, boundless sea, a cruise ship floated. It was brightly lit, and people aboard were singing and dancing.

In the middle of the dance floor, a green light flashed in the eyes of a young man in a sharp suit. He immediately excused himself from his stunning dance partner and hurried toward a hidden room on the ship.

This cruise ship belonged to the Nanhai Wu Family, and the young man was none other than its young master, Wu Haigang.

By the time Wu Haigang arrived at the room, two other young men were already there. One, with shoulder-length hair like an artist, was his second brother, Wu Haiqiang. The other, with neat short hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, had a reserved and serious demeanor; this was his third brother, Wu Hai Zhi.

Wu Haigang said to the two, ”You’re both here. I assume you’ve sensed the Gu God’s descent!”

”Yes, Big Brother!”

Wu Haigang opened a heavy safe door. Inside the small space, there was no gold or jewelry, only an ancient box engraved with the character for ”insect.” He opened the box, revealing a thumb-sized, fat white worm resting on red silk brocade.

The three of them dropped to their knees before the fat worm and kowtowed respectfully. ”We respectfully welcome the Gu God’s descent!”

A majestic voice transmitted itself into their minds: ”The Poisonous Insect Nest has been destroyed. From now on, this avatar will be my true self!”

The three of them looked horrified. ”How is that possible?!” they exclaimed in shock.

”Could the Divine Department of the Military Suppression Department have come in person?”

”No, that can’t be. We’ve always been extremely careful. For over a year, we’ve kept a low profile. There’s no way the Military Suppression Department could have found us!”

”Besides, even if the Divine Department did show up, with over a hundred Outer Appearance Realm masters in the Poisonous Insect Nest and Father’s strength, it couldn’t have been destroyed!”

”If the Poisonous Insect Nest was destroyed, then doesn’t that mean Father is...?”

The fat white worm’s voice echoed in their minds again: ”Stop guessing. Wu Tianchong is already dead.”

Hearing this, the three showed no sadness. Instead, a green light flashed in each of their eyes.

”The one who struck this time was a young man who controls lightning. Even under the suppression of the Celestial Dao, he was able to unleash an attack that surpassed the Inner Realm Peak. He turned all my efforts to naught and forced me to perform the Golden Silkworm Shedding Its Shell technique, abandoning the physical body I worked so hard to cultivate!”

Wu Haigang couldn’t contain his excitement and asked, ”Gu God, who have you chosen as the next host?”

With Wu Tianchong dead, the next host for the Gu God would surely be chosen from among the three of them.

Wu Haigang’s question made the other two just as excited. They clenched their fists anxiously, waiting for the answer.

After a moment, the white worm’s voice transmitted, ”It shall be Wu Haiqiang!”

At this, Wu Haiqiang, the one with the shoulder-length hair, stood up and roared with laughter. ”HAHA! I will rule this world! Before long, the entire planet will be mine!”

Wu Haigang and Wu Hai Zhi were resentful, but the green glow in their eyes intensified, making it impossible for them to resist. The hierarchical system of the Gu is extremely strict; a subordinate can never defy a superior, even if commanded to commit suicide on the spot.

Wu Haiqiang looked at his two brothers smugly, his face a mask of pure arrogance. He stepped forward, carefully picked up the fat worm, and swallowed it in one gulp. A moment later, his piercing eyes began to glow with a jade-green light, and at the corners of his eyes, by his temples, a new pair of pupils instantly sprouted.

His four eyes radiated an incredibly sharp aura as he began issuing commands. ”I cannot give up the Wu Family’s resources. Wu Haigang, go back and take control of the Wu Family immediately. Wu Hai Zhi, your wedding tomorrow is obviously off. I’m putting you in charge of this cruise ship. I need to build a new Poisonous Insect Nest, and you will use this ship to transport women.”

The two acknowledged the order. ”Yes, Gu God!”

Wu Haiqiang continued, ”Wu Hai Zhi, go and gather all the women on the cruise ship. I will ’bless’ them one by one to quickly form the first Poison Army.”
