“You haven’t passed the test…” Heaven Star complained sadly.
“Didn’t we agree on a different approach? Besides, you set the tests yourself. Isn’t it easy for you to let me pass?”
Heaven Star unwillingly responded, “Why should I let you pass so easily!”
As the books say, what comes easily isn’t valued.
Moreover, he didn’t know if this woman would be suitable as the master of the Stellar Space. If he formed a contract with her and later found out she didn’t meet his expectations, it would be too late to back out! “Do you want to leave or not?’ Gu Qingluan countered.
Heaven Star hesitated and said, “1 do.”
Gu Qingluan snapped her fingers and said, “So what are you hesitating for? If you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait for thousands or even tens of thousands of years for the next one, and there’s no guarantee that it will be suitable for you.”
Heaven Star felt that her words made sense and couldn’t argue against them. ‘Well then, tell me what abilities you need me to possess,” Gu Qingluan proposed.
Heaven Star held up four tiny fingers and said, “At least four powers willpower, courage, intelligence, and strength. I can’t do without any of them.”
Gu Qingluan understood, “So the test of the Heavenly Staircase is a test of willpower?”
Heaven Star nodded, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at her. “How about climbing the Heavenly Staircase again?”
Gu Qingluan decisively refused, “Not interested.”
“In that case, do you have the willpower?” Heaven Star asked with a drooping shoulder, sounding deflated.
‘Willpower is meant for things that matter. Climbing the Heavenly Staircase is a waste of life.”
“That’s not true! Reaching the top of the Heavenly Staircase not only demonstrates your incredible willpower but also enhances your strength.” He constantly tried to tempt Gu Qingluan, but she remained unmoved.
Heaven Star pouted in frustration.
None of the methods from the books seemed to work!
“Actually, what you’re lacking is not these four things. You’ve missed the most crucial one.”
‘What?” Heaven Star blinked his eyes. He couldn’t have missed the most crucial thing!
Gu Qingluan smiled faintly, “Stellar Power.”
Heaven Star’s pupils contracted, “You know about Stellar Power?’
Gu Qingluan silently recited the Stellar Mantra, and mysterious energy surged from all directions towards her.
Heaven Star exclaimed, “The Stellar Mantra! How do you know the Stellar Mantra?”
Gu Qingluan paused and winked at him, “Only a few people can cultivate the Stellar Mantra, and you should know this better than me.”
‘Who are you? Why do you know the Stellar Mantra?”
“Want to find out?’ Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow and smiled. “If you consider it a pass, I’ll tell you.’
Heaven Star snorted lightly, “Forget it, you don’t have to say.”
“Oh, if you insist.” Gu Qingluan shrugged and continued on her way.
Heaven Star felt suffocated. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Why wasn’t she trying to please him?
After all, he was the spirit of the Stellar Space!
She knew the Starry Mantra and was aware of her connection to them. She must also know how powerful he was. Why didn’t she say a few nice words to appease him?
Feeling resentful, he left and thought to himself, “Passing this test won’t be so easy! ‘
Gu Qingluan noticed his departure but remained unfazed. She wasn’t in a hurry to leave. She understood that haste makes waste.
The Artificial Spirit of the Starry Space seemed to be relatively young, with limited exposure to the outside world. It relied solely on the records preserved within the space for information, making it naive and old-fashioned.
It probably set up challenges that were deliberately difficult.
Instead of wasting her energy, she decided to conserve her strength and wait for the Artificial Spirit to eventually relent.
At this moment, inside the palace treasury…
Gu Xiaonan looked at the spacious warehouse filled with boxes upon boxes of treasures. His eyes sparkled, and he couldn’t help but salivate.
He licked his lips and pounced towards the treasures.
Gu Xiaonan looked left and right, feeling that his two eyes were not enough to take in everything.
Ah, these are pearls from the East Sea, so big and numerous! A whole box of them!
And this is the Rainbow Coral, twice the size of the one on his home island!
Wow! Thews even Cotton Fruit produced in Cloud City! It looks so delicious!
Feng Tianlan watched as Gu Xiaonan excitedly ran around, his delicate and adorable little face glowing with radiance. The corners of her mouth couldn’t help but turn upwards slightly.
Gu Xiaonan suddenly turned to look at him, his eyes flickering.
“Um, can I take things from here?”
He felt a little embarrassed asking a stranger for things.
‘Whatever you want, feel free to take it. Everything here belongs to you, my child,” Feng Tianlan said casually.
Wow!
His generous father was so amazing!
But…
Feng Tianlan was not his dad.
Gu Xiaonan suddenly felt a sense of sadness.
If he had a father too, would he also leave all the good things for him?
He had never seen his father before. His mother said his father was dead.
He really wished he had a father.
Suddenly, he felt a tinge of envy towards that child named Yuan Xi.
‘What’s wrong?” Feng Tianlan approached him and touched his little head.
Gu Xiaonan looked up at him with a complex expression, like a little adult, and sighed, “You wouldn’t understand. ‘
Feng Tianlan was confused.
“Let’s go.”
The treasures in the treasury were all given by this man to his son. His mother taught him that ill-gotten gains should not be taken. Although he was unhappy that this man had brought him here, he couldn’t just casually take someone else’s things.
Gu Xiaonan’s enthusiasm hit rock bottom, and he walked out with slumped shoulders.
Feng Tianlan furrowed his brows slightly. He didn’t understand why his son suddenly became unhappy.
Children nowadays are so hard to figure out. He seemed happy just a moment ago.
Just as they left the treasury, Jing Feng quickly approached them. “Master, the shopkeeper from the Purple Light Pavilion has arrived. ”
Gu Xiaonan lifted his head from his melancholy and blinked his big eyes at him.. “Purple Light Pavilion?’
