Chapter 30: Upright Military General x Eccentric Prince 01

System Space.

The cat-like System, sprawled on the ground, pawed at the hem of its beautiful host, Gu Changli’s, crimson robe, its round cat eyes reflecting Changli’s figure.

The man in red stood tall and jade-like, lifting his eyes to gaze into the distance.

Cold and gloomy emotions churned in the depths of the beauty’s eyes, those profound pupils seeming to penetrate all things in the world, yet also revealing a hint of casualness and unruliness.

The extremely gorgeous red robe set off a kind of dazzling beauty, his face exquisitely beautiful, like a soul-stirringly beautiful demon.

Yet his expression was indifferent, extremely weary.

Gu Changli suddenly withdrew his gaze, picking up the cat-like System, which felt quite nice to the touch.

“Go pick the next mission.”

System 143 obediently nodded, selecting an ancient mission from the mission database sent by the main system, and then conveyed the mission content to the other party.

[Mission Content: Spend the rest of your life as you please.]

Gu Changli slightly nodded, his snow-white fingers kneading the little cat System’s ears.

Strands of hair fell from the beauty’s ear to his neck, the red hair and white skin complementing each other perfectly.

System 143 looked up, [Host, are you wondering where Xie Chi’s soul is?]

Gu Changli’s fingers paused slightly, the emotions in the depths of his eyes becoming dark and complex.

“I can sense his location.”

“I’m just wondering when we will meet.”

System 143 tilted its cat head, [If you really want to see Xie Chi’s soul, we can go to the Six Paths Reincarnation Platform to see him first.]

With the host’s abilities, this wouldn’t be difficult.

Perhaps other hosts couldn’t do it, but Gu Changli, as the Child of Destiny/Favored of Heaven of the Canglan World, possessed the qualifications to directly enter the Six Paths Reincarnation Platform of the Greater Thousand Worlds.

Gu Changli remained silent, lightly blinking those captivating and bewitching eyes, captivating all living beings with a blink, yet his aloof and detached aura made him seem unapproachable, as if no one could enter his eyes.

He resumed stroking the cat System’s head, casually looking into the distance, “No need, now is not the time for our true meeting.”

System 143: [Oh (*^ω^*)]

The little cat looked at Gu Changli with starry eyes, its paws hooking onto the sleeve of the beautiful host.

The host is so good-looking, no wonder I picked him!

With the host’s androgynous, stunningly beautiful face, it dared to vouch that no one in the world could compare, absolutely deserving of the title of top-tier beauty.

It seemed that as long as the other party was willing, countless believers would prostrate themselves at his feet.

Believers would offer everything, dedicating it to the god.

System 143 curiously tugged at Gu Changli’s sleeve, gossiping slightly, [Host, I saw a comment the main system gave you.]

[The main system said this: “Gu Changli is a madman, an extreme madman, walking out of hell yet as elegant as an angel.”]

[But I don’t think you’re like that.]

[You repay kindness for kindness, hatred for hatred, go against the tide, and value love and loyalty. Your personality is clearly very good~]

Compared to those treacherous, two-faced, despicable, and shameless villains, its beautiful host was definitely a top-notch good person.

It had followed Gu Changli for one life, barely able to see through the host’s personality.

Compared to some perverts, Gu Changli was very normal!

Gu Changli lowered his eyes to look at the furry cat System, his dense, long eyelashes slowly drooping, the indifference in his eyes giving him a cold expression.

“You, indeed, are inexperienced.”

A simple system like this, fresh out of the box, could never know the ferocity and ruthlessness when he slaughtered in the past, nor could it know the world-weariness, jealousy, and crazy obsession when his faith collapsed.

But the original him wasn’t like this.

Initially, he was the radiant divine beast, the Nine Heads, the most talented junior of the Phoenix Clan, a compassionate god in the eyes of mortals.

But what happened later? Everything changed.

Because of a prophecy, he became an enemy of the Three Realms.

He walked in the Three Realms for hundreds of years, tasted all kinds of suffering, endured endless chases, repeatedly hovering on the edge of life and death, bluntly saying that he was repeatedly jumping between tragic death in an encirclement and rebirth from the ashes.

He was unfortunate, yet fortunate.

Because he met the Golden Lion Demon Lord on Yingzhou Island, and spent more than three hundred years of peaceful days with him, and his faith was regained.

But that group of people still refused to let him go.

Everyone wanted to kill him, because they believed that as long as he died, the Three Realms war in that prophecy would never be launched.

Therefore, there was the tragedy of Yingzhou Island.

This incident became the catalyst for Gu Changli’s drastic change in temperament, causing his faith to collapse, no longer pitying all living beings, and the kindness in his heart was worn away by the world.

He became the arrogant and unprincipled fierce beast, the Ghost Car.

But later, the Heavenly Dao took action to help the Golden Lion Demon Lord’s remnant soul reincarnate, and also allowed Gu Changli to govern the Canglan World, which made the mad Gu Changli become calm and stern again.

At this time, Gu Changli was no longer simply good or evil, but was between good and evil.

Whether good or evil, righteous or evil, god or demon, all were within Gu Changli’s single thought.

He was never as good as the System thought, mostly ignoring outsiders, only caring about the few things he was concerned about.

System 143, evaluated by Gu Changli as inexperienced, scratched its cat head, [Ah? I’m inexperienced! Okay, let’s just say I’m inexperienced.]

[Shall we enter the mission world now?]

Gu Changli withdrew his thoughts, leisurely stroking the furry little cat System, “Let’s go directly, I want to see the Golden Lion Demon Lord sooner.”

System 143: [Okay, transmission commencing.]

Jinghuai City, Liang Kingdom.

It was the autumn of the twentieth year of the Kangjing era. The ninth son of the current Liang Emperor was demoted to commoner status for plotting against Concubine Rou, and was expelled from the palace by the Liang Emperor at noon yesterday.

And Gu Changli’s new identity was the ninth prince of the Liang Emperor.

The original owner’s memories were very thin, almost all spent in that desolate Cold Palace.

The ninth prince’s birth mother was Consort Chen, the Liang Emperor’s most beloved, whom the Liang Emperor had snatched from his elder brother, Prince Rui. This Consort Chen was originally Prince Rui’s principal wife, but was forced to enter the palace as a concubine due to the Liang Emperor’s coercion.

Since Consort Chen Jiang entered the palace, the Liang Emperor never entered the palaces of other concubines, but instead doted exclusively on Consort Chen. Before long, Consort Chen was diagnosed with pregnancy.

This child was undoubtedly the Liang Emperor’s.

Consort Chen had been in the palace for more than three months, and pregnant for one month, it was absolutely impossible for her to be Prince Rui’s.

Moreover, Prince Rui at that time was preoccupied with himself and could not make small moves under the Liang Emperor’s surveillance, and could only be placed under house arrest in the Prince’s mansion by the Liang Emperor.

During Consort Chen’s pregnancy, the Liang Emperor was extremely anticipating the child’s birth. Even though he already had eight princes and two princesses, he valued this child more, because he intended to pass the throne to this son.

The Liang Emperor could be said to truly love Consort Chen.

He originally intended to crown her as empress after Consort Chen gave birth, then bestow the title of crown prince upon their little prince, and secretly suppress the restless former court and harem.

To love her was to give her the best.

Consort Chen, having a child, chose to accept her fate due to the safety of her ex-husband and family. Even if she didn’t love the Liang Emperor, who told the other party to be the emperor!

If things continued like this, the series of events that followed would not have happened.

However, the Liang Emperor became increasingly intolerant of Prince Rui. The man’s jealousy made him choose to kill Prince Rui, but after killing his rival in love, he was afraid that Consort Chen would find out and affect their increasingly harmonious relationship.

However, paper cannot contain fire.

The news of Prince Rui’s death, which the Liang Emperor tried his best to hide, still reached the ears of Consort Chen, who was about to give birth.

Consort Chen had been married to Prince Rui for half a year, and their relationship was deep. She had only agreed to enter the palace because the Liang Emperor threatened her with Prince Rui and the lives of the entire Jiang clan. Even after a year in the palace, she still had not forgotten her ex-husband, who was forced to divorce.

Now that she suddenly learned the news that Prince Rui was poisoned to death by the Liang Emperor, she was even more heartbroken. As her emotions fluctuated, her abdomen cramped and the fetus was about to come out.

But she endured the pain, and forced her servants out, intending to drag the little prince in her womb, who was flowing with the blood of her enemy, to the underworld together.

When the Liang Emperor arrived, Consort Chen’s breath was weak, almost to the point of dying.

The Liang Emperor immediately ordered all the imperial physicians to protect Consort Chen.

He took the lead in abandoning the little prince he had been looking forward to, and chose to save the woman he loved.

Following Consort Chen, the Liang Emperor also abandoned the original owner.

But the facts did not turn out as Consort Chen and the Liang Emperor had expected. The little prince was safely born, Consort Chen hemorrhaged and died, and the Liang Emperor was heartbroken by the loss of his beloved.
