Chapter 134: Chapter 74: Keeping a Good Plant Well
Ning Er looked at Gu Changsheng with an inexplicable expression, “Changing sides right in the middle of a battle isn’t too cool, is it?”
“What’s with that look?” Gu Changsheng retorted defiantly, pointing at Yue Xilou, “Can you beat him?”
Following her pointing finger, Ning Er glanced at it and shook her head, “Can’t beat.”
“There you go, the Itinerant World is dangerous, dear. If you can beat them, you fight, if you can’t, you run.” Gu Changsheng shrugged, not ashamed but proud.
“What if you can’t run?” Little Meat Bun looked up, frowning at his mother.
“If you can’t run, then just grovel for mercy!” Gu Changsheng pinched her son’s cheek, “Just like I’m doing now.”
Having said that, Gu Changsheng looked towards Yue Xilou, who was watching the drama unfold, making a face begging for mercy and gesturing pleadingly, “Brave warrior, a debt has a debtor and a claim has a claimant; the person you’re looking for has truly left. Maybe consider chasing after him?”
The crowd was collectively speechless.
“And you, why are you even encouraging him to chase? What if he’s really a nemesis?” Xiao Cui looked at her ‘wife’ with the corner of her mouth twitching, utterly speechless.
“Dead daoist, no dead priest.” Gu Changsheng hummed through her nose in response.
“Hehe…” Yue Xilou laughed again, unrivaled in elegance, “Really interesting…”
“You!” Gu Changsheng pointed accusingly, a serious look on her face, “Stop laughing!”
While saying this, she covered her face. Dammit, she was getting blinded by her own titanium alloy eyes, she couldn’t look, if she kept looking, she feared she might recklessly throw herself at him without regard for danger!
Beautiful men were always so fatally attractive…
“Girl, they left before I did, even I could not catch up to them. What is your relation to them?” If he could chase them, why would he bother arguing here with her?
“Oh…” Gu Changsheng was helpless, what could she do if the man wouldn’t fall for the bait? “If I really had any connection to them, it must go back generations, millions of years ago perhaps, I guess they could be my ancestors…”
The history of human evolution tells us, all our ancestors were monkeys, none can claim to be more advanced. Any objections?
Yue Xilou initially saw a glimmer of hope in her words, but it was dashed the moment Gu Changsheng finished her statement, involuntarily furrowing his brows.
As evening began to settle halfway up Ban Shan, in the courtyard below.
Gu Changsheng and Yue Xilou were facing each other, both scrutinizing one another and waiting for the other to genuinely yield.
It must be said, when it came to a staring contest, Gu Changsheng was not good at it, crumbling in less than a moment, her shoulders drooping, “If you’re going to kill or slash me, just say it quickly. No point in wearing me down, it won’t bring him back anyway, will it?”
He knew she was here, and only a moron would have returned to fall into his hands.
“The girl makes sense,” Yue Xilou solemnly nodded.
The jewels gleaming in his hair against the sunset rendered Gu Changsheng utterly awestruck with envy, almost dizzy from it.
With a head like that, it was like wearing a jewelry box, the perfect target for robbery; the Deep Sea Coral Necklace on his forehead, blood-red like dripping, pearls from the South Sea, white jade pendants from the Western Border…
“So can you leave now? This temple is too small to accommodate your grand presence; take care, no goodbye.” She shook her head, resisting the greed, refusing to entertain the thought of possession. She couldn’t overpower him, Gu Changsheng heartachingly kicked him out while soothing her own throbbing heart…
“You all go back first,” Yue Xilou ordered softly to his two beautiful subordinates.
The two complied, not forgetting to carry the flamboyant palanquin with them.
“First?” Gu Changsheng certainly did not overlook the emphasis in his word, listening to the tone and looking between the lines, “Do you mean you’re covering our retreat?”
Did she even have a rear to cover? The sun was almost setting, just go home, bathe, and sleep!
“What I mean is, I’m not leaving first,” Yue Xilou replied indifferently.
It must be said, to Gu Changsheng, that statement was like a fatal blow.
“Damn it, are you planning to wait for the rabbit?” Gu Changsheng stood under the setting sun, looking especially desolate and exasperated.
What the hell was this?
“Exactly,” Yue Xilou produced a folding fan from nowhere, casually fanning himself a couple of times.
Gu Changsheng was already disheveled by the wind, her eyes intense as she retorted, “It’s uncommon for rabbits to run into trees though.”
“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I’ve been searching for over twenty years; patience is what I lack least.” The folding fan swayed gently, his demeanor incredibly calm.
“That rabbit is damned cunning, but are you sure I can be the tree stump?” Gu Changsheng inwardly cursed those two old profligates, sniffing as she gazed at the flirtatious and suave ‘flower man’ in front of her.
