The system's voice echoed nonstop in Su Changqing's ears.
His eyes nearly popped from their sockets.
Holy shit.
Unreal.
Absolutely insane.
A Saint-tier cultivation technique. A Saint-tier physique. Full-Level Talent.
On the entire Tianwu Continent, Emperor-tier Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts were already at the apex—so rare they were almost legend.
But this was Saint-tier—one tier above Emperor.
And as for the Heaven-Tyrant Body? A physique known to be invincible within the same realm—flesh forged into an unshakable fortress.
At this point, Su Changqing's foundation was maxed to absurdity.
But what truly elevated him—beyond the Saint-tier scripture and the Heaven-Tyrant Body—was the transformation of his very foundation. His comprehension, his constitution, his potential... each one surged to unimaginable heights.
Even endurance, for fuck's sake, was maxed out.
What used to take him two hours? Now he figured he could go a full day without breaking a sweat.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a gain.
"What's this... True Love Gu?" he muttered.
His eyes landed on the gift the system tossed him last.
The moment he opened the detailed description, his entire face froze. Then his eyes went wide.
No way?!
[True Love Gu: Emperor-tier Gu worm. Once planted, the target will fall into an undying love for you and will never cause you harm. (Only by breaking through to the Sovereign Realm can the target escape its influence.)]
[Note: Gu is gender-neutral and works on any target.]
Just when you feel sleepy, someone hands you a pillow. This thing was way too perfect for his current situation.
Just moments ago, Su Changqing had been debating whether to run. After all, once his Master's cultivation returns... wouldn't she flay him alive and grind his bones into medicine?
But now? With the True Love Gu in play—how could she bear to harm him?
He would now be the man she loves most.
And the wildest part? No gender restriction. If he used this on a man right now... the guy would fall hopelessly in love with him too.
Just imagining it—ugh.
Goosebumps crawled across his skin.
Thankfully, he had no "special hobbies."
With a single thought, Su Changqing summoned the Gu worm.
It was small—no larger than a thumb. Golden-hued and silent, it rested peacefully in his palm.
System-certified, guaranteed premium.
"Heh… From today onward, you'll love me whether you want to or not." he said, chuckling shamelessly.
Then he waved his hand—and the Gu worm slipped directly into Gu Xiran's body.
The moment it entered her, Su Changqing felt a strange, invisible thread stretch between them—an ethereal tether linking their souls.
Tsk, tsk, tsk… Dear Master… From today onward, I'm the man you love most.
Mood: euphoric.
[Host: Su Changqing]
[Cultivation: Mid-stage Body Tempering Realm]

[Special: True Love Gu (Emperor-tier)]
[Assessment: A weakling.]
Su Changqing stared at his stat panel, lip twitching.
A weakling? What a joke. That was two and a half hours of crushing dominance—nothing less.
Half an hour passed.
Gu Xiran's long lashes fluttered.
Her eyes opened slowly, clouded with disorientation.
The moment she saw Su Changqing standing there, she was startled and her entire body stiffened. The memories surged back like a flood.
She was still lying on the cave floor.
Everything that had happened… wasn't a dream.
"Su. Chang. Qing!!!" Her teeth clenched so hard they might crack. The very air around her dropped several degrees in temperature.
Bastard!!
All these years she guarded her purity—and this scum stole it in a single night.
Unfilial disciple!
Wretched child!
Why did she ever take him in?!
"Dearest Master, you're awake," Su Changqing said with a bright, sunny grin.
"Don't call me that! I have no such disciple!" Gu Xiran trembled with fury. "When I recover my cultivation, I swear—I'll kill you!"
The murderous intent in her voice was thick enough to congeal. But Su Changqing didn't even blink. He leaned forward with a grin.
"Dear Master… would you really bear to kill me?"
Would she? She thought she'd respond without hesitation—yes.
But the moment she imagined it—her thoughts stuttered.
Her chest tightened and resistance bloomed. Somewhere deep in her heart, a voice whispered: You love Su Changqing. You can't hurt him.
She tried to shake it off. Force it out. But no matter what she did—she couldn't erase the thought.
"You… what did you do to me?" she whispered.
Her wide eyes brimmed with shock. Her snow-pale face now bore a flush of disbelief.
Tsk, tsk, tsk… Leave it to his Master—even her shock expression is stunningly beautiful.
"Just a little trick," Su Changqing said lightly.
A trick?
Something was wrong—deeply wrong.
Gu Xiran instinctively turned her divine sense inward.
Her cultivation may have been sealed, but her senses was still intact.
She began to probe within—
And the truth… was waiting for her.
