Chapter 1529: Chapter 787: Fortunate Fate (Part 2)

Tantai Xueling’s eyes lit up, and she immediately followed him in like a cheerful little bird.

Linyin Pavilion is the most renowned teahouse in Huang City, known for its elegance and tranquility.

The shop attendant recognized them as regulars and quickly led them to the "Rain Listening Pavilion" in the innermost part of the second floor.

Inside the elegant room, sandalwood incense curled through the air, and outside the window, an old plum tree leaned just right to block the blazing sun.

Gu Sheng ordered a pot of the finest Biluochun tea and only got serious after the attendant left.

"Junior Sister Xueling, the Heavenly Demon Vine is not child’s play, you witnessed its power last time too."

"I know!"

Tantai Xueling cradled her cheeks with both hands, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"But I’m just curious, such a fierce Heavenly Demon Vine, how does it become so tame in your hands?"

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment before finally giving in.

"Alright, I’ll let you have a look."

He slowly lifted his left sleeve, revealing the golden-red vine coiled around his arm.

In stark contrast to its earth-shattering demeanor that day, the Heavenly Demon Vine was only a few feet long now, quietly coiled like an exquisite armlet.

"Wow!"

Tantai Xueling exclaimed, unable to resist moving closer to take a better look.

"It’s so beautiful! The blend of gold and red looks like it’s carved from the finest Spirit Jade."

She extended her delicate fingers, tentatively trying to touch it.

"Don’t..."

Before Gu Sheng could finish his warning, the Heavenly Demon Vine suddenly lashed out, a terrifyingly fierce aura instantly filling the entire elegant room.

The golden-red glow on the vine intensified, its tip like a poisonous snake poised to strike, pointing directly at Tantai Xueling’s throat!

"Ah!"

Tantai Xueling was so frightened she leaned back, almost falling off her chair.

Gu Sheng quickly pressed down on his left arm, sternly commanding.

"Quiet!"

A magical scene unfolded.

The fierce aura of the Heavenly Demon Vine suddenly paused, its tip stopping barely an inch from Tantai Xueling’s throat, then slowly retracting, coiling back around Gu Sheng’s arm, restoring calm.

"What...what just happened?"

Tantai Xueling patted her chest, still shaken.

"Does it recognize me?"

Gu Sheng pondered.

"It should be because of the Spiritual Unity Technique we used last time. Part of your spiritual power imprint remained in the Heavenly Demon Vine."

Tantai Xueling’s eyes lit up.

"Does that mean I’m half its owner too?"

"In your dreams,"

Gu Sheng laughed.

"But indeed, it doesn’t have the same hostility towards you as it does towards others."

Tantai Xueling’s eyes rolled mischievously, and suddenly she turned serious.

"Senior Brother Gu, I have a request."

"Speak."

Gu Sheng lowered his sleeve, covering the Heavenly Demon Vine.

"I heard from my master that when the Heavenly Demon Vine advances to the Sect Realm, it will have a chance to split."

Tantai Xueling clasped her hands together as if in prayer.

"When the time comes, could you sell me the part that splits off? Name your price!"

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.

"What do you want the Heavenly Demon Vine for?"

"For self-protection!"

Tantai Xueling pouted.

"As you know, we alchemists deal with spiritual medicines all day, but we’re weak in combat. If I had a Heavenly Demon Vine for protection, I wouldn’t have to constantly worry about being bullied."

Gu Sheng contemplated for a moment.

"If it can indeed split, I might consider it. But..."

"But what?"

Tantai Xueling asked eagerly.

"I don’t want your Spirit Stones."

Gu Sheng looked directly into her eyes.

"I have a tricky task to handle tomorrow and need assistance. If you’re willing to lend me a hand, I’ll give you the split-off part of the Heavenly Demon Vine for free."

Tantai Xueling was stunned, clearly not expecting such a condition from Gu Sheng.

She blinked.

"Is it that simple?"

"Simple?"

Gu Sheng chuckled lightly.

"Tomorrow’s task is not simple at all; there’s a risk of life-threatening danger."

Tantai Xueling bit her lip, then suddenly slapped the table.

"Deal! But I’ll need to bring my sister along."

"Tantai Bingtang?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly.

"Will she agree to help?"

"Don’t worry!"

Tantai Xueling gave a sly smile.
