Chapter 12: Gu Qingqing Loses Control Of Her Emotions
“I’ve decided. From now on, your name will be Qingqing—Gu Qingqing.”
“Gu Qingqing, this will be your name from now on.”
These words echoed endlessly in Gu Qingqing’s mind, striking her like a bolt of lightning.
“Gu Qingqing… Gu Qingqing…” she murmured, her eyes filled with disbelief. “So, that baby girl… was me?”
“So, I’m the sister he picked up?”
“So, even that baby girl who he fought so hard to protect, even after his limbs were broken… was me?”
Tears unconsciously flowed from her eyes, blurring her vision.
“Why… why did it turn out like this?”
Gu Qingqing felt a surge of pent-up emotion rising from her chest, ready to explode.
…
At the top of the Meteorite Tower, the crowd erupted like a lake disturbed by a thrown boulder.
“Did I hear that right? The name that tyrant gave to that baby girl he picked up is Gu Qingqing?”
“That baby girl is actually Lord Gu Qingqing?”
“Lord Gu Qingqing isn’t the tyrant’s biological sister?”
The crowd buzzed with discussion, realizing that their previous speculations were all wrong—Gu Ran and Gu Qingqing really weren’t blood-related.
This revelation was completely unexpected by everyone, but if true, it raised even more puzzling questions.
Suddenly, all the powerful individuals present felt a chill in their hearts, a faint sense of danger rising from within.
“What’s happening? Why are there so many small cracks appearing in the space?”
Someone noticed the anomaly and cried out in alarm.
“It’s Lord Gu Qingqing! The space around her is becoming chaotic!”
Everyone turned their gaze toward Gu Qingqing, and sure enough, the space around her was no longer stable but filled with numerous fissures.
What terrified them was that these fissures were slowly expanding, indicating that Gu Qingqing was losing control of her powers, letting them erupt unchecked.
“What’s… what’s happening to her?”
“Why is Gu Qingqing’s power going out of control?”
Gu Qingqing had already wiped the tears from her face, her eyes now revealing a resolute determination.
“I need to ask you in person—what exactly happened back then?”
“Why did you become like this?”
“And how did we, as brother and sister, end up like this?”
The spatial fissures around Gu Qingqing suddenly paused, then began to converge in front of her, slowly forming a larger rift.
Finally, someone realized Gu Qingqing’s intent and screamed in fear, “Stop her now! She’s trying to free that tyrant!”
“She must be crazy! If that tyrant gets out, we’ll all die!”
“So she really is on that tyrant’s side! She’s not to be trusted!”
Chaos erupted at the scene.
“Qingqing, do you know what you’re doing?!” Lin Fan shouted at Gu Qingqing in shock. “Stop now! Don’t do something foolish!”
Gu Qingqing glanced at him, saying, “Of course I know what I’m doing. I need to hear the truth from his mouth! I need answers!”
The weakness of this triangular crystal prism was that it was easier to break from the outside, and Gu Qingqing, with her spatial abilities, was undoubtedly one of the strongest combatants present.
If she took action, there was a real chance that the prism could be shattered, freeing that tyrant, Gu Ran.
Lin Fan panicked and was about to intervene to stop Gu Qingqing, but then he hesitated and held back.
Gu Qingqing had always been someone he wanted to bring into his harem. If he fought her now, they would likely become enemies, and he’d lose his chance with her forever.
This hesitation made his heart waver.
“Hmph, Gu Qingqing, you won’t free that tyrant!”
At this moment, a cold snort sounded, followed by a flash of sword light.
The ancient sword in Cheng Youmeng’s arms suddenly unsheathed, sending a sharp sword energy slicing toward Gu Qingqing.
“Transfer.” A small spatial rift appeared beside Gu Qingqing, perfectly enveloping the sword energy.
Cheng Youmeng’s brows furrowed as she moved forward.
Spatial abilities were troublesome in this way—they could easily transfer long-range attacks with such powers.
She needed to close the distance quickly to engage Gu Qingqing in close combat.
“I absolutely won’t let you free that tyrant—” Cheng Youmeng gritted her teeth, “That tyrant who killed my sister!”
Cheng Youmeng slashed at Gu Qingqing with her sword, intending to force her to abandon her plan to accumulate power.
However, Gu Qingqing seemed oblivious to the attack coming her way and continued to expand the spatial rift in front of her.
“Hmph, as long as I don’t want to be hit, none of you can touch me here.” Gu Qingqing merely shifted her position slightly, and her figure instantly vanished from where she stood.
All that remained was a closing spatial fissure.
Her attack missed, but Cheng Youmeng wasn’t discouraged. Spatial abilities were not only rare but also immensely powerful, and this was their strength.
They not only possessed highly potent spatial slashes but also had the ability to open portals for instant escape.
The most common way to counter spatial abilities was to use spatial disruption devices, which would completely disorient the spatial user’s sense of coordinates.
If a spatial user still attempted to use their abilities under such conditions, it would likely summon unpredictable spatial turbulence, or the user themselves could become lost in the space currents.
As the headquarters of the Human Alliance, the Meteorite Tower was originally equipped with many spatial disruption devices. However, they had been deactivated or destroyed earlier to accommodate the Allied Army’s assault on the tower.
“No, I have to reactivate the spatial disruption devices. Otherwise, no one here will be able to stop Gu Qingqing.” Cheng Youmeng glanced around the scene, her expression hesitant. “But this will take some time. Before I can reactivate them, someone needs to keep Gu Qingqing occupied, to prevent her from rescuing him.”
But as Cheng Youmeng scanned the crowd, she couldn’t find anyone capable of holding off Gu Qingqing. Spatial abilities were just too powerful.
However, at that moment, the top of the Meteorite Tower began to fill with a light mist, slowly saturating the air.
“Gu Ran, the Supreme Leader of the Human Alliance, ruthlessly slaughtered my Sea Clan and has an unresolvable enmity with my Mermaid Clan. Anyone who attempts to save him will be our enemy, the enemy of the entire Sea Clan.”
A soft voice echoed from the sky.
At the same time, everyone at the top of the tower began to feel the air growing more humid, with a faint taste of salt in it.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was initially confused, but then someone finally realized what was happening.
“The Queen of the Sea Clan, Ariel!”
