Chapter 859: Chapter 453: Catching a Scoundrel This also made his heart involuntarily speed up. "I say, Holy Daughter, can you be a bit more reserved?" Gu Sheng teased softly. The Shaking Light Saintess realized her loss of composure, a blush rising on her face. She hurriedly prepared to stand upright and tidied up her clothing. However, at the moment she suddenly stood up, her clothes accidentally caught on Gu Sheng. "Rip!" With her movement, the clothes slipped from her shoulders, revealing her white as jade skin. "Ah..." The Shaking Light Saintess exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly covering herself with her hands. But it was too late... Gu Sheng’s gaze involuntarily fell upon her, seeing her flawless curves and proud stature. ... Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Their gazes met, and everything around them became blurred. At this moment, in Gu Sheng’s eyes, there was only the stunning beauty of the Shaking Light Saintess. "Gulp!" Gu Sheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The hot emotion made him nearly lose control. The Shaking Light Saintess’s face was red as if it would bleed, she hurriedly turned around, trying to cover her embarrassment. Gu Sheng came to his senses, quickly took off his outer coat, and gently draped it over the Shaking Light Saintess. "Holy Daughter, don’t catch a cold." The Shaking Light Saintess felt Gu Sheng’s care, a warmth surged in her heart. She turned around, looking at Gu Sheng, eyes full of gratitude. "This matter must not be spoken of outside!" The Shaking Light Saintess said coldly. "Hehe." Gu Sheng gave a slight smile, nodded and said, "Alright, understood." "Didn’t you say you found the exit? Where is it?" The Shaking Light Saintess continued to ask. "Wait!" Then, Gu Sheng took a deep breath, trying to guide the forces in the void. But after fiddling for a while, he found there was no reaction at all. "Yao Xi, you’ve sealed my divine power, quickly unseal it." Gu Sheng turned his head and said. "How to unseal it? There’s no antidote in this void." The Shaking Light Saintess said helplessly. Gu Sheng furrowed his brows, having his divine power sealed made him feel very helpless. Gu Sheng was silent for a while, then his gaze suddenly became firm. "Since that’s the case, we’ll have to rely on ourselves." Saying this, Gu Sheng stood up, pointing in a direction and said: "Yao Xi, listen to me, channel your divine power in the direction I’m guiding." "Hmm." The Shaking Light Saintess nodded, immediately focusing and mobilizing her divine power. She followed Gu Sheng’s guidance, gathering her strength at a point. "Whoosh!" The two’s cooperation gradually became tacit, their forces forming a strong shockwave in the void, directly pointing at the void’s gap. "Break!" Gu Sheng shouted loudly. He and the Shaking Light Saintess exerted their strength simultaneously, a force charging towards the gap in the void. "Boom!" Suddenly, the dimensional gate in the void began to tremble under the impact of the two. Then, with a loud boom, the domain gate was shattered. In that instant, countless strong shock forces flew out from the shattered domain gate. "Whizz!" The shock forces were directionless and chaotic. Gu Sheng, seeing this, immediately exerted all his strength, summoning his cauldron. The cauldron quickly enlarged in the air, forming a giant protective shield, firmly protecting him inside. But the Shaking Light Saintess was not so fortunate. Her power had been exhausted during the impact on the domain gate, leaving her no time to react to the sudden shock forces. "Be careful!" Gu Sheng shouted loudly. He wanted to reach out to pull the Shaking Light Saintess, but it was too late. She was hit by the shock forces, her body flying like a kite with a broken string. She felt as if a huge force was rampaging inside her, tearing her body apart. "Thud!" They landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. After steadying himself, Gu Sheng was extremely anxious. Retracting the cauldron, he flew towards Yao Xi. "Are you alright?" Gu Sheng asked softly. Yao Xi shook her head, looking a bit pale. At this moment, the clothes that had been torn from the Shaking Light Saintess in the void fell onto Gu Sheng’s head. Gu Sheng pulled it down, and it turned out to be the undergarment of the Shaking Light Saintess... "Uh..." Gu Sheng was speechless. Just as he was about to throw the clothes aside, he heard hurried footsteps nearby. "Ah? Pervert!" It was a woman’s shriek. Subsequently, a group of villagers dressed in plain clothes rushed in. "Catch the pervert! Catch the pervert!" Someone among them shouted. "I’m not! I’m not!" Gu Sheng hurriedly explained. But to those villagers who got excited at the mere mention of catching a pervert, how could they listen to Gu Sheng’s explanation? Moreover, at this time, Gu Sheng’s divine power was sealed, and the Shaking Light Saintess was severely injured, lying on the ground wearing Gu Sheng’s clothes. Her inner and outer garments were in Gu Sheng’s hands, and even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn’t explain it. So, he could only run for his life. If he stayed beside the Shaking Light Saintess any longer, he would surely be beaten to death! At that moment, not only his reputation would be lost, but his life too. Just like that, Gu Sheng desperately continued to flee forward. As for the Shaking Light Saintess, she should soon be found by the people of the Shaking Light Sacred Land. "Catch him! Beat him to death!" "Catch the pervert!" "Stop! If you keep running, we’ll break your legs!" Behind Gu Sheng, the angry shouts of the villagers continuously resounded. Gu Sheng turned his head to take a look, only to see those villagers looking fierce and malicious. Not run? Not running would be idiotic! Gu Sheng’s heartbeat pounded like a drum, and his feet moved swiftly over the rugged mountain path. These voices were like death warrants, filling Gu Sheng with a sense of urgency. "Damn it... How did I get into this mess..." Gu Sheng dared not slacken for a moment and could only run desperately. However, fate did not seem to be on his side. He soon found himself forced to a cliff edge. In front of him was an abyss with no visible bottom, behind him were the angry villagers. He looked back, seeing the murderous intent in the villagers’ eyes. Their clubs and farming tools glinted coldly in the sunlight. A trace of despair flashed through Gu Sheng’s heart, but jumping off the cliff was better than being caught by these villagers. "Jump!" Gu Sheng said to himself. "Hoo..." Gu Sheng took a deep breath and leaped forward, jumping into the abyss. In the instant of jumping, he once again summoned his cauldron, attempting to use its power to protect his body. However, due to his limited divine power, the strength of the cauldron seemed somewhat inadequate. "Ssszzz!" His body twisted under the fall, so painfully he almost fainted. Fortunately, the cauldron’s power functioned at a critical moment, forming a protective shield that tightly enveloped him. The protective shield, though unstable, at least slowed the descent. This prevented Gu Sheng’s body from being shattered. Gu Sheng’s body, protected by the cauldron, hung on the dried tree on the cliff, swaying in the wind. At this moment, he was like a falling leaf from a tree in autumn, teetering on the edge. "Am I... still alive?" Gu Sheng could hardly believe his situation. He glanced at the abyss below the cliff, bottomless. "Crack!" Suddenly, the dry tree branch snapped violently, and Gu Sheng rolled towards the bottom of the cliff once more. This time, without the cauldron’s protection, his body directly collided with the rocky face of the cliff. "Creak..." "Ah..." Gu Sheng screamed in agony as waves of sharp pain surged through him. He knew that several of his bones seemed to have been broken... The pain caused him to pass out. Gu Sheng awoke after an unknown amount of time, reluctantly opening his eyes. He knew he was still alive, but his injuries were now severe to the extreme. Gu Sheng’s heart was filled with bitterness; he never thought he would end up like this. He looked up at the sky, watching the clouds drift by in the wind, seemingly mocking his helplessness. "Is this the end for me?" Gu Sheng murmured to himself. Gradually, Gu Sheng’s consciousness began to fade.
