Chapter 1865 - 1459: How Dare You Set Your Sights on My People?

As Gu Changsheng spoke, Qiwowen Du’s eyes widened, his figure constantly retreating with a face full of fear.

His two robust guards were already petrified!

Gu Changsheng!

Southern Emperor Changsheng, Gu Changsheng!

They actually encountered the legendary Gu Changsheng!

This...

"What? Are you so incredulous? Or do you think that as Gu Changsheng, I fail to meet your expectations? What do you imagine Gu Changsheng should be like?" Gu Changsheng leaned slightly down, raising an eyebrow at Qiwowen Du as he questioned.

Qiwowen Du was already terrified.

He wanted to say that this Gu Changsheng was indeed quite different from the Southern Emperor Changsheng he had imagined!

The Gu Changsheng he imagined, the woman of legend, should be exactly as in the tales, with the prestige of a phoenix ruling the world, unmatched by anyone. Yet, this woman, right under his nose, just blocked the stairway a moment ago, boldly conducting a robbery and charging a toll without regard to place!

Not only that, her fiancé was currently digging out the Luminous Pearl from the stairs...

This skill in greed...

You’re telling him this is Southern Emperor Gu Changsheng?

The Empress who controlled eight or nine tenths of the Central Plains’ territory, the legendary female leader of ages, Gu Changsheng?

This...

Is somewhat too disillusioning!

In that moment, Qiwowen Du’s heart was racing with thoughts and emotions, yet under the watchful gaze of Gu Changsheng, he dared not voice his true feelings.

Qiwowen Du was sure that if he had the nerve to say Gu Changsheng differed significantly from his imagination, she would pummel him relentlessly.

Don’t doubt it!

From his three days of interaction with Gu Changsheng, Qiwowen Du was certain that such an act was indeed something she would do, and she would definitely be merciless!

"No... not really... I didn’t..." Qiwowen Du instinctively denied Gu Changsheng’s words. He couldn’t admit it, no, he couldn’t admit it even on pain of death.

Because denying it could keep him alive, but admitting it would truly get him beaten to death!

"Hm, good that you haven’t!" Gu Changsheng shrugged at the words, giving Qiwowen Du a mischievous smile, "Why, is it so surprising that I am Gu Changsheng? But yes, I am Gu Changsheng! The very one at Yanmen Pass responsible for the Neutral Tribes’ migration decision, the Gu Changsheng you mentioned unknowingly owes you, the Young Master of the Nomadic tribe, a huge favor. Qiwowen Du, don’t you want to court the female general from my Female Army?"

"I want... ah, no! I don’t want, I don’t want..." Hearing Gu Changsheng’s question, Qiwowen Du instinctively answered, but upon realizing, what luck, Gu Changsheng’s expression changed, forcing him to quickly correct himself. Heaven help him, who did he provoke, to be gossiping about someone only to have it reach the person’s own ears?

His meticulous plan had been perfect, letting Southern Emperor Changsheng unknowingly owe him a favor, waiting for the affairs with the Northern Mongolian to resolve before he collected on the debt with interest. The Southern Emperor’s favor was something highly sought after, an opportunity to reap a great reward?

However, his plan might have been good, but despite all his calculations, he didn’t predict this unexpected encounter with Gu Changsheng at the Star Innate Tower, not only encountering her but failing to control his own chatty mouth, inadvertently revealing his plans right in front of her.

Now it’s all gone, no need to wait for a reward as it seems more like all is lost, with nothing left to gain!

This truly resulted in nothing but empty effort, Qiwowen Du couldn’t help raising a hand to give himself two slaps.

This chatty mouth, he had long said it needed to change, why couldn’t he manage it?

See, another loss?

Moreover, this loss isn’t just any ordinary one!

Gu Changsheng watched Qiwowen Du slap his cheeks, laughing as she adjusted her clothes, standing tall with an imperious gaze at Qiwowen Du, "Luckily to meet you here, otherwise I would’ve been unaware there was someone audacious enough to dare have designs on my people!"

"No, that’s not it! Listen to me, I... I merely heard rumors of your Female Army, admiring them, just admiring them..." Qiwowen Du was on the verge of tears.

What kind of predicament is this?

If Longevity Heaven gave him another chance to start over, Qiwowen Du would ensure to keep his mouth shut and play dumb!
