CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 276 SUBJUGATING THE THOUSAND POISON SECT

Here is the translated text:

Gu Daniu’s family also expressed their gratitude, discussing their cultivation progress over the years.

Gu Daniu had reached the Iron Skin Realm, while Li Xiaolian had broken through to the Stone Skin Realm. Gu Wan was particularly excited as he mentioned that his breakthrough to the Silver Bone Realm was solely thanks to the small bottle of Divine Liquid given to him by Gu Sheng.

"Asheng, that Divine Liquid is truly miraculous. I only took a small sip and felt my entire body brimming with power."

Sparks of excitement flickered in Gu Wan’s eyes.

Gu Sheng smiled faintly and said:

"I obtained that Divine Liquid from the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. Although the quantity was limited, it was sufficient to help you all achieve breakthroughs. As long as you continue to cultivate with determination, your future achievements will be boundless."

Shifting the topic, they began to discuss Gu Xiaojiang.

Gu Jingang praised, "That child Xiao Jiang is truly remarkable. I’ve heard that he has now become a Great General for Liang and even earned the favor of His Majesty the Emperor. His achievements are limitless."

Gu Sheng nodded and said, "Xiao Jiang is indeed outstanding. His future will surely be even more brilliant. With him, Gu’s Manor can confidently claim the mantle of succession."

The night grew deeper, and the banquet neared its conclusion.

Gu Sheng rose to bid farewell to Gu Jingang and Gu Daniu’s family.

Standing beneath the moonlight, his gaze was profound, as if piercing through the barriers of time and space to glimpse a grander future.

The moonlight shimmered like flowing water as, deep within the Holy City of the Cult of Fire, Gu Sheng had already transformed into Xu Liehuo—a tall, upright, and strikingly charismatic guard.

His eyes were deep as the brightest star in the night sky, and under the Bewitching Technique, his heroic spirit became even more pronounced, radiating unparalleled charm.

Within the Fire Domain, the palace of the Supreme Lady Su Xian stood majestically, illuminated by dazzling lights.

She, the Supreme Lady of the Fire Domain, possessed an enchanting figure, graceful curves, and a celestial beauty akin to a goddess descended from the heavens.

Every movement and gesture carried boundless allure; even her slightest smiles or frowns could stir the heartstrings of all who beheld her.

As Xu Liehuo, Gu Sheng gained the opportunity to be in close proximity to this legendary beauty.

He followed closely behind Su Xian, his gaze occasionally lingering on her exquisite figure, yet his heart remained as cold as ice.

"Xu Liehuo, how long have you served me?"

Su Xian suddenly turned around, her mesmerizing eyes glowing with a peculiar brilliance, as though probing this new guard.

"Reporting to the Supreme Lady, this servant has served you for only a few months,"

Gu Sheng, in the guise of Xu Liehuo, replied respectfully.

"Oh? In just a few months, you managed to rise from being an ordinary guard to serving at my side. That’s quite impressive."

Su Xian’s voice, sweet like heavenly music, carried a trace of amusement as she gently parted her red lips.

"Your praise is far too kind, my lady. This servant merely performed his duty with utmost diligence and was fortunate to earn your favor," Gu Sheng humbly responded.

Su Xian smiled softly, resembling a blooming spring flower as she approached Xu Liehuo. Her hand gently traced over his gleaming muscles.

"You are truly exceptional, to have risen from a humble farmer’s son to the Marrow Refining Realm. Such perseverance and talent are truly rare."

Gu Sheng’s heart stirred, knowing the moment had come to exhibit his charm. He slightly bowed his head, his eyes radiating unwavering determination.

"Your words are indeed encouraging. Although this servant comes from an insignificant background, I have never abandoned my pursuit of Martial Arts. To receive your esteemed recognition is this servant’s greatest honor."

Upon hearing his reply, Su Xian’s eyes revealed a trace of admiration. She leaned closer to Xu Liehuo, her breath fragrant like orchid blossoms.

"Not only is your cultivation exceptional, but your looks are also striking. If you are willing, I could offer you an even brighter future."

Gu Sheng sneered inwardly, knowing this woman was beginning to take an interest in him.

Feigning confusion, he asked, "What does my lady mean? This servant is dull-witted and humbly seeks your guidance."

Su Xian chuckled lightly, her tone laced with subtle flirtation. "Should you choose to become my confidant, I will ensure you are never left wanting. Whatever you desire, I can provide."

Gu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat, realizing it was time to cast the bait.

Taking a deep breath, he pretended to hesitate and said, "Your profound generosity overwhelms this servant. However, there remains one matter in this servant’s heart that I dare not express lightly."

"Oh? Speak freely," Su Xian replied curiously as she gazed at him.

Gu Sheng exhaled deeply, then said slowly, "This servant has always carried a wish—to find someone I can entrust my life to. If my lady does not mind, this servant is willing to serve you tirelessly."

Upon hearing this, Su Xian’s gaze gleamed with a peculiar light.

The night grew heavy within the Fire Domain, and the scattered starlight seemed to hold its breath for the passionate moment about to unfold.

Xu Liehuo’s handsome face appeared even more resolute and profound under the firelight’s glow.

His eyes, bright and unwavering, seemed capable of piercing through all illusions.

Supreme Lady Su Xian stood before Xu Liehuo, her crimson lips slightly parted, her eyes glimmering with an inexplicable light.

Their breaths intertwined, as if an invisible force was drawing them together.

"Xu Liehuo, you are indeed a clever man."

Su Xian’s voice carried a hint of teasing as she drew closer to Xu Liehuo, the distance between them shrinking with every passing moment.

Xu Liehuo sneered internally, knowing that this game had only just begun. He

took a deep breath, maintaining a composed state of mind.

"My lady’s cultivation is profound. Surely you’ve heard of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra."

Xu Liehuo’s voice was deep and magnetic, his words carrying an almost enchanting power, causing Su Xian’s pulse to quicken.

Su Xian feigned mock anger, but her eyes betrayed a trace of anticipation. She hadn’t expected Xu Liehuo to be so perceptive and skilled at earning her favor.

"Could it be, Young Master Xu, that you’ve mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?"

Su Xian’s voice revealed a note of urgency, her eagerness for Xu Liehuo’s response was undeniable.

Xu Liehuo smiled faintly, his gaze flashing with a hint of slyness.
