Starting With Chaos Physique-Chapter 21 - Valerian Must Repay the Favor, the Two of the Top Ten

Chapter 21 Valerian Must Repay the Favor, the Two of the Top Ten

“Really, any request is acceptable?”

Hearing Chu Yaoyue’s words, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile, his gaze falling on her.

It had to be admitted, as the number one beauty of the Jingyang Dynasty, Chu Yaoyue indeed had her merits. Her figure was graceful, her appearance stunning.

Especially now, with her face extremely pale, the usual noble and regal demeanor she carried had faded, replaced by a frail and pitiable aura.

Noticing Gu Changsheng’s gaze, Chu Yaoyue’s heart trembled as if she had understood something.

She bit her lip, then firmly declared, “As long as the Divine Son is willing to help Jingyang through this crisis, Yaoyue is willing to serve as a slave or servant for the rest of her life.”

At this point, aside from her strength and talent, she couldn’t think of any other value she could offer.

Her untouched body?

“A slave or servant?”

Gu Changsheng shook his head, his smile carrying a hint of amusement. “Do you think someone like me would lack servants? Or do you believe you are qualified enough?”

Given his current status, not to mention the countless prodigies eager to serve as his servants, even the slaves raised by his family since childhood surpassed Chu Yaoyue in many ways.

Having realized this, Chu Yaoyue felt a deep bitterness in her heart. She truly had overestimated herself, far too confident and presumptuous.

“Indeed, Yaoyue isn’t even qualified to serve as the Divine Son’s slave. All of this was Yaoyue’s arrogance. I’m sorry for disturbing your cultivation, Divine Son. It won’t happen again…”

Her expression finally regaining calm, she softly murmured.

Gu Changsheng’s words were clear enough.

In her twenty years of cultivation, she had never imagined she would be so humiliated as she was today—abandoning her dignity, only to be met with this outcome.

She stumbled as she tried to stand.

But as she turned, she lost her balance and almost fell off the mountain peak.

With his hands behind his back, Gu Changsheng observed everything, then suddenly smiled.

“Being a slave or servant won’t be necessary. However, considering your sincerity over the past three days, I can help you this once.”

What?

Chu Yaoyue froze mid-step as she was descending the mountain, doubting if she had misheard.

The dimness in her beautiful eyes was replaced by a glimmer of hope.

“Really?”

She asked hesitantly, unable to believe it.

“Sincerity can even move stones and metals, let alone people*,” Gu Changsheng replied casually.

[*“Sincerity can move stones and metals” (精诚所至，金石为开, jīng chéng suǒ zhì, jīn shí wéi kāi): An idiom meaning utmost sincerity can overcome the hardest obstacles.]

Of course, the main reason was that he felt soft-hearted.

He wasn’t a bad person, and Chu Yaoyue had no enmity with him.

All she wanted was the status of a follower, leveraging the prestige of the Gu family to protect the Jingyang Dynasty from being swallowed by other forces.

And for Gu Changsheng, this was merely a matter of issuing a verbal decree—something effortlessly easy.

“So... earlier, the Divine Son was teasing me…”

Chu Yaoyue hesitated, then timidly asked.

It was hard to imagine such a weak tone coming from her, as if she feared Gu Changsheng might change his mind.

Indeed, he had been teasing her.

But naturally, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t admit it aloud. It was purely a moment of mischief, wanting to see how Chu Yaoyue would react.

Back in the Purple Bamboo Forest, her pride had been unyielding.

Now, he merely waved his hand and said, “Forcing you to kneel for three days for nothing—I feel guilty.”

Chu Yaoyue deeply bowed, her voice filled with heartfelt gratitude. “Thank you, Divine Son. Yaoyue will remember this kindness and repay it in the future!”

Gu Changsheng said no more.

The dragon energy of the Jingyang Dynasty had already been severed. Even if Chu Yaoyue delayed its fall this time, it would inevitably decline.

After all, human effort could not defy fate.

...

Chu Yaoyue left contentedly, carrying a decree personally written by Gu Changsheng and bearing the Gu family’s emblem.

The decree symbolized Gu Changsheng’s presence!

At least in the Southern Sheng Dao Realm, no force would dare disobey.

Meanwhile, above the Gu family’s divine island,

Gigantic ancient war chariots were gathering.

Their bronze bodies, forged from meteoric iron, were covered in arrays and riddled with blade and sword marks, gleaming coldly.

Banners of five colors fluttered atop them, inscribed with the ancient character “Gu.”

Ahead of the war chariots, enormous beasts hovered in the air.

Some resembled true dragons, with ferocious horns and an ancient aura, their wings spreading across the skies as they awaited their masters.

Others included massive azure birds resembling hawks, with wings as hard as divine iron and lightning runes flowing across their feathers.

Each beast had its respective master.

“This hunting conference will take place in the Northern Wasteland Sacred Tomb. It mainly involves participants from the Nansheng Dao Realm, Chiming Dao Realm, Beiming Dao Realm… and several other Realms. Various immortal families will send their most outstanding young generation or heirs.”

An elder explained to the Gu family disciples aboard the war chariots. The Gu family placed great importance on this hunting conference, as they had been overshadowed by another immortal faction a thousand years ago.

Suddenly!

A phoenix’s cry echoed through the heavens!

From the skies, nine divine birds resembling phoenixes spread their wings, pulling a divine chariot as they soared into view.

Divine light radiated, auspicious colors filled the air, piercing through the clouds as they ascended.

Simultaneously, nine golden divine steeds galloped into the skies, pulling an ancient war chariot that thundered across the heavens like a stampede of a thousand horses.

“It’s the two lords!”

Many young Gu family disciples trembled, recognizing who had arrived based on the mounts.

This time, three young lords from the Gu family were to participate in the hunting conference, but the others were unable to return from their travels.

Clearly, these were two of the three—the second and third ranked among the Gu family’s younger generation!
