Chapter 209 - 209: I’ll Help Myself



When Gu Qingluan posed her question, a slight pang of regret settled within Wang Shi’s heart. However, the words had already escaped her lips, leaving no room for retrieval.

Thinking about how the secret chamber was constructed with Sky Star Stone, her confidence surged instantly, and she mocked, “If you can really take it, there’s no way 1 can stop you!”

“Heh! Finally some self-awareness!” Gu Qingluan chuckled lightly and extended her right hand.

Swoosh!

A crimson flame burst forth from her snowy-white palm.

The temperature in the surroundings immediately soared.

“It’s so hot!”

Those who possessed spiritual flames within them quickly noticed the flicker of flames in their abdomens, which then timidly faded away.

It got extinguished!

They had never encountered such a situation before.

But they had heard that when a lower-grade flame encountered a higher-grade one, it would be extinguished.

“What an impressive flame!”

Among those present was a member of the Gu family who happened to be a skilled forger, possessing a ninth-grade spiritual flame, only a step away from attaining heavenly fire. He took pride in his flame’s prowess.

At this moment, watching the flame in his abdomen extinguish, his face was filled with shock.

“Could that be Heavenly Fire?”

At the mention of the words “Heavenly Fire,” Wang Shi’s anxiety momentarily surged.

Swiftly reassuring herself, she pondered, even if it was Heavenly Fire, it came in different grades. Gu Qingluan’s Heavenly Fire couldn’t possibly surpass the fire of the Skyfire Forger who crafted this Sky Star Lock, could it?

Gu Qingluan directed the flame towards the Sky Star Lock and ignited it.

The air became exceptionally scorching, yet no one retreated. Everyone was fixated on her actions.

It was rare to witness someone using Heavenly Fire, and no one wanted to miss out.

After just a short while, the Sky Star Lock began to melt.

Wang Shi’s expression twisted, and her hands clenched tightly together.

No!

It couldn’t be true!

How could her Heavenly Fire be so powerful!

Snap!

The Sky Star Lock broke.

Wang Shi’s legs went weak, and she nearly fainted.

She really managed to open it!

A commotion rippled through the crowd.

“That fire is incredibly fierce! It actually melted the Sky Star Lock in such a short time!”

“What has Miss Gu Qingluan experienced in these five years? Her cultivation is heaven-defying, she possesses Heavenly Fire, and she has connections with the Island of No Return… The more we look, the more intriguing she appears to be!”

“Incredible! Rather than valuing such a remarkable young talent, the Gu family takes her dowry and turns her into their enemy. What are they even thinking?” “I don’t think the people from the Gu family anticipated that Gu Qingluan would become so formidable at this point. They probably still consider her the waste she was five years ago, someone they could bully at will. But now, they’ve stumbled! First Lady Gu has proven them wrong; it’s so impressive!” “Hahaha, 1 bet the Gu family members are regretting deeply now, aren’t they? With such outstanding talent at such a young age, if they had embraced her contributions, she could have led the family to its peak. Sadly, they let this opportunity slip away.”

Most outsiders couldn’t gain entry, and those who managed it held considerable status and audacity, giving them the confidence to openly mock the situation.

Wang Shi and the other members of the Gu family listened to their mockery, their expressions changing ever so drastically.

Those words were like needles piercing straight into their hearts.

This was the powerful help they had rejected through their own actions!

Even if they didn’t possess such a powerful aid, what mattered most was that Gu Qingluan was no longer going to align herself with the Gu family; she might actually become their adversary!

This was something they couldn’t accept!

Gu Qingluan retracted her divine flame, her exquisitely beautiful face turned towards Wang Shi, and a faint smile curved her lips. “Madam, thank you for your generosity. I’ll help myself from here.”

Wang Shi’s lips quivered, a clear sign of her overwhelming anger that left her speechless. She was barely holding on, a mere breath away from collapsing.

Gu Qingluan waved her hand, and the Sky Star Lock flew away from the heavy door.

Shortly after, the door made of Sky Star Stone was pushed open.

Gu Qingluan lifted her foot and stepped inside..
