Chapter 212 You Cheated
Mengyu saw Gu Dongxing’s eyes shining mischievously as he seductively stared at her—lips, and her heart raced. Could he be getting the wrong idea?
Suddenly, she remembered that in ancient times, when a girl took a liking to a boy, she would send him her wallet.
The storage bag she gave him, wasn’t it about the same size as the wallets ancient women used to send to their lovers?
He couldn’t possibly misunderstand her intentions, could he?
She quickly explained: "This was given to me by my Master, uh, I got a bigger one now, so I don’t need this anymore and I’m giving it to you, it’s not—"
As she spoke, she suddenly felt that her explanation sounded like she was trying to cover something up.
Mengyu suddenly felt a rush of embarrassment and anger and reached out to snatch the storage bag back: "Forget it, you should just give it back to me."
Gu Dongxing understood Mengyu’s expression and felt even more delighted.
He held the storage bag up high: "Who takes back something after they’ve given it away? It’s mine now."
Seeing Mengyu still lunging to grab the storage bag, he simply hugged her tightly and planted a firm kiss: "Thank you, Xiao Meng."
The little fellow must have him in her heart after all; it’s just that a young lady would naturally be bashful and can only express herself in such an implicit way.
If Mengyu knew that giving Gu Dongxing a storage bag would lead him to think she was expressing her affection for him, she would surely be so annoyed that she’d snatch the storage bag back.
Of course, she is currently only a Second-level Martial Artist, while Gu Dongxing has already broken through to Level 7 Martial Artist, and as for the Wood Immortal Skill at the Gathering Essence First Layer, it basically has no offensive power.
So even if she wanted to, she wouldn’t be able to snatch it back.
Mengyu didn’t just fail to get the storage bag back but was also caught off guard by his sudden move.
Her face flushed red, and she quickly pushed him away forcefully: "You cheated."
Gu Dongxing knew that he had overstepped the mark, but he just couldn’t help himself, so he quickly changed the subject: "There’s so much meat like pork, beef, chicken, duck, fish in here, aren’t you worried it will spoil?"
Mengyu gave him a sideways glance: "Time is almost at a standstill inside the storage bag. Whatever you put in, when you take it out, it remains the same. The meat inside the storage bag could stay fresh for years without spoiling."
Suddenly, she realized a problem. The time in her storage bag stood still, but time in her space did not. Now that she had given her storage bag to Gu Dongxing, wouldn’t she be without freshness preservation equipment in the future?
She immediately called out to Xiao Tao in her heart and shared her thoughts with it.
"Tell me, knowing that this was the only storage bag with a freshness-preserving function, why did you still suggest that I give it to Gu Dongxing? You couldn’t possibly be falling for him, could you?"
Xiao Tao cried out that it was wronged: "Master, what do you need the storage bag for? The cabinets in the storage room of the thatched house inside the space have time at standstill. What thing can’t you keep there?"
Mengyu was overjoyed: "Why didn’t you say that earlier?"
"I thought the Master had already noticed. The items you bought from the market are still fresh in the storage room, aren’t they?"
Mengyu suddenly remembered that she had bought some meat at the market once and threw it into the warehouse. She thought it had gone bad because she hadn’t eaten it all, and when she went to throw it away, it was surprisingly still fresh.
"But, the things in the warehouse have to be retrieved by entering the space; I can’t just take them out directly from the outside."
Xiao Tao really wanted to roll its eyes: "Why can’t you just find a time to enter the space before you use them? Besides, when you reach Foundation Establishment in your cultivation, your consciousness can come directly here. Where can’t you get the items from?"
Mengyu thought about it and agreed, no longer feeling bad about giving away the storage bag.
