After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 199 - 191: Can You Just Chop Down the Divine Tree?

Chapter 199: Chapter 191: Can You Just Chop Down the Divine Tree?

Looking at that dazzling figure, combined with the faintly troubled attitude of the person before him,

Gu An immediately checked the status.

No Charming Technique.

But it was a world stronger than Chu Meng’s pathetic attempt at charm.

No wonder this person could make so many fellow disciples bend the knee.

This was a waist made to slay.

Not an especially stunning face, but that just made her all the more alluring.

After all, the truly beautiful usually felt out of reach.

The one in front of him seemed like she could succeed at anything she wanted, any time.

Then fall straight into a trap.

*And for that body, plenty would stick around to watch, even knowing she wasn’t from the Sect.*

As long as she didn’t cross any big lines, people would tolerate her.

Even if some guy didn’t care for women,

someone else would say to keep her, maybe for surveillance purposes.

Like, you know, secretly watching just to figure out her real goal.

*Some treasures, only other people get to know about.*

So even someone not into women would probably want to keep her around.

Right now, Gu An was pretty damn curious whether Leader Hou and this woman had something going on.

Too bad, couldn’t tell.

Gu An quickly pulled himself together and looked calmly at the woman before him, saying, "There’s a market in the Sect, and you can buy things in Qingmu City too. Whether there’s anything suitable for you, though, I don’t know."

Hearing this, Shu Ci put down her clothes and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother. If you have any tasks for me in the future, just let me know. I’ll do my very best."

She said this excitedly, then turned and hopped away.

No lingering, no drama.

Gu An watched her leave, *his heart absolutely still.*

He turned and headed back to his place.

But he’d barely taken two steps when he spotted Chu Meng, popping peanuts in her mouth, looking super hyped as she watched him.

Like she was watching something hilarious.

Then Gu An heard her little laugh, "So that’s your type, huh."

Gu An looked over and said, "My type?"

As he watched Chu Meng, Gu An’s real goal was to get a read on her cultivation.

Trying to catch a glimpse of something in her Qi.

But...

No dice.

*How could that be?*

*No way she’s cultivating faster than me, right?*

*Unless she’s also got something like I do.*

Otherwise, why couldn’t he see through her level?

*Is she just hiding it well, or is she already ahead of me?*

*Gu An wasn’t sure.*

"The way you just saw, you know, a little temptation to get your dumb heart all stirred up, then secretly hooking up with you on the side, thrilling stuff." Chu Meng said seriously,

"Honestly, she’s not bad. Better figure than Ren Shan, and craftier too,

way more tempting and exciting than the other girls around here.

But you’re not exactly young—can you even handle this kind of thrill?

I’m worried you’ll drop dead outta nowhere."

Gu An, "...."

*Did you forget to wash your brain before leaving the house today?*

"This junior is devoted to the True Dao." Gu An walked into the courtyard.

Chu Meng followed, still eating peanuts, and said, "Dual Cultivation isn’t Dao now? A beauty like that and you’re not even tempted?"

Gu An looked back at her and said, "A pretty face is just a skeleton in makeup. You strip them down, it’s all bones underneath. I see beauties as bones, and so have no desire. I see bones as beauties, so have no fear.

No desire, no fear—walk the Great Dao."

Chu Meng came in and sat at the table, laying out dish after dish,

"So can you look at that bitch and stay desireless and fearless?"

Gu An, "...."

*I’ll be desireless and fearless when my cultivation gets higher.*

"Look at your face—you’re still obsessed with that bitch." Chu Meng shook her head and sighed, "No Dao for you, man. Of all people to like, why her?"

Gu An really didn’t want to talk nonsense with his superior, "What brings you here, Senior?"

"Brought you some food! Where’s my tea?" Chu Meng looked around and asked.

Gu An said, "Didn’t buy any yet."

He’d had some before, but left it in his room, now it was gone.

Chu Meng’s face fell. She pulled the meat dishes over to her side and shoved a plate of cold veggies at Gu An, "Eat your cold veggies, then.

You never listen to anything your superior says,

we’re supposed to be a team, working together and all that.

You make things real difficult. When are you going to get it together?"

Gu An didn’t say a word and ate his veggies.

He had to admit, the food was better than last time.

"So, about the task—Blood Refining Sect business is almost done. Did you get anything out of it?" Chu Meng asked, munching away on peanuts.

Gu An thought for a moment and said, "I found two spies."

"That impressive? Who? I’ll go dig up some info," Chu Meng livened up, "Let’s see what turns up, maybe those guys will evaluate your reward."

Gu An went silent.

Chu Meng got curious, "What’s up?"

"They’re already dead." Gu An said helplessly.

Chu Meng rolled her eyes, "Dead? What am I supposed to check then? That’s some merit, but not much—ten, maybe twenty Spirit Stones."

"But I do know what they were after." Gu An said.

Chu Meng perked up again, "Spill."

"Heard they got it already, too late to do anything about it now."

"...."

"But I know where that thing is."

"..."

Chu Meng took a deep breath and said, "Are you getting senile? Can you just say everything at once?"

Gu An didn’t really mind, he just said, "It’s a tree. Supposedly it could make Blood Refining Sect rise again, with huge advantages for Blood Refining and Blood Transformation."

Hearing this, Chu Meng thought for a bit then said, "Evergreen Tree?"

Gu An considered for a second and said, "Probably not. The leaves are all dry, they’re tinged red."

"You’ve actually seen that tree?" Chu Meng sounded incredulous, "Don’t tell me you found them, saw them get the thing, killed them, then played the sneaky winner?"

Gu An shook his head, "I’m not that sort of person, not that cunning."

He just happened to stumble on it.

Hearing that, Chu Meng nodded instead, "I believe that."
