Dongfang Yu’s body leaned lazily against the backrest.
It was now the twelfth lunar month, and the weather had grown colder.
His aversion to the cold was sometimes better, sometimes not, and he had no idea why.
It clearly had improved a lot recently, but recently it had flared up again.
He had clearly come into contact with Gu Qiaoqiao yesterday, yet the warmth that should have been there was absent.
Instead, the carving room felt very comfortable.
Dongfang Yu wondered if he should move his home to Gu Garden.
Would living in the carving room feel as warm as spring...
Immediately after, Dongfang Yu dismissed the thought.
Some ideas are best remained as such.
He wasn’t about to go so far as to take over someone else’s house.
Dongfang Yu looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, his brow twitched, and he simply asked directly, "Do you still remember what happened after opening the Mysterious Dragon Box?"
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Of course I remember."
"Then, do you feel anything unusual now?" Dongfang Yu asked.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, stating seriously, "No, I don’t feel anything at all, it’s as if it never happened."
"Then, do you feel that your fingers have more spiritual energy than usual?"
"I don’t feel that, same as usual."
"Also the same as usual."
"What about the speed of your walking?"
"Same as usual, too."
"Then, what about your appetite at meals?" Dongfang Yu asked persistently.
Gu Qiaoqiao gave him a sidelong glance, "I had something on my mind this morning, so I ate a little less than usual..."
Then, spreading her hands, she said, "What else do you want to ask?"
Dongfang Yu felt that something was off.
This object should be an heirloom passed down by the ancestors of the Gu family.
It was definitely a treasure.
Or perhaps it was a cultivation technique that unlocked the Gu family bloodline.
At this moment, he knew through his Divine Sense that Gu Qiaoqiao was telling the truth.
He also marveled at how smart the little girl was, aware that there was no point in lying in such a situation.
He asked again, "You brought the Mysterious Dragon Box with you, didn’t you?"
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, opened her handbag, and took out the Mysterious Dragon Box.
Then, she placed it on the coffee table and said frankly to Dongfang Yu, "You might be disappointed. I suppose you looked at the Mysterious Dragon Box after I passed out, but what I want to ask is, when you looked at it, was there anything inside the box?"
Her words carried a trace of suspicion.
In fact, Gu Qiaoqiao also knew that if there had been something inside that Dongfang Yu took for himself,
he wouldn’t have been interested in the Mysterious Dragon Box anymore.
And people like him were the most arrogant.
Just as he coveted the Gu family’s possessions,
without any disguise, he directly told her: I have my eyes on your Gu family’s things.
So even if there were something in the Mysterious Dragon Box, he wouldn’t have taken it secretly.
Though Gu Qiaoqiao knew this was the case, she still wanted to annoy him just for the sake of it.
Dongfang Yu glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao out of the corner of his eye.
In displeasure, he asked, "If there were something, do you think I would have let you come here at this time?"
"How would I know what you’re thinking?"
Gu Qiaoqiao retorted indifferently.
Afterward, she pushed the Mysterious Dragon Box toward Dongfang Yu’s direction and said, "Here’s the item, take a look..."
At this exact moment, Dongfang Yu didn’t know whether he could take the Mysterious Dragon Box now...
But if he truly couldn’t take it in front of Gu Qiaoqiao, wouldn’t that reveal his cards?
Based on this little girl’s audacity,
she might seize the opportunity to press him down even more.
So Dongfang Yu didn’t move.
Instead, with a smile that was not quite a smile, he said, "You must have checked the Mysterious Dragon Box yourself already, and there was nothing?"
