Everyone knew this one, simple rule: When one stayed at home, normally, nothing would happen. But once they step foot out of the house, countless incidents must occur.
Though in this type of situation, we’d usually call it the “protagonist treatment”, as for Gu Bai, the unlucky protagonist who transmigrated into the book, he also received this kind of treatment honorably.
So, after the horse carriage had successfully traveled for ten days, suddenly, with a “ka-ba” sound, it stopped.
Gu Bai had already become very used to laying on Qi Guan Rui’s legs by now → after all, with his current physics, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of becoming near-sighted, even if he read books while laying down.
The sudden “ka-ba” sound from the horse carriage had, as expected, alarmed the two.
Qi Guan Rui, who was silently regulating his energy, opened his eyes, and a cold light within his eyes flashed by and vanished.
Gu Bai put down his book, “What is it?”
Qi Guan Rui spoke in a soft voice, “Gege, do you want me to go and ask?”
Gu Bai waved his hand, “There’s no need for you to go.” Then continued, “Lu Xiao.”
As the head of the four great female servants, the ultimate beauty in a green dress with her gorgeous figure, quickly appeared on the outside of the small room of the most inner layer.
Note: The rooms are separated by curtains and sliding doors.
Lu Xiao bowed, her voice was like the chirping of a bird, “City Governor.”
Gu Bai asked very calmly, “What happened?”
Lu Xiao was very respectful, “Report to City Governor, someone is causing trouble up ahead, our carriage can’t pass by easily.”
Gu Bai quirked his brows very nobly, “Oh? Explain in detail.”
Lu Xiao was even more respectful and well-mannered as she described the incident up ahead, almost bringing it to life.
So apparently, the horse carriage was now traveling in a deserted area with no one else around.
…Wait, why does this setting seem so familiar?
This was obviously the foresight of trouble!
Gu Bai really wanted to cut off the rest of Lu Xiao’s words immediately, but to maintain his City Governor’s image, he could only continue to listen gloomily.
Just as he’d expected, what he was bumping into now was the must-have of every stallion novel…hero saving beauty.
That’s right, there was a soft chick with a good body that was easy to push down in the front, and she was being chased by a group of brutes.
But it was a wonder why even though, just looking at the soft chick, one could tell that they didn’t have much physical strength, yet, they could still run for that long when being chased…of course, that was also one of the illogical things about stallion novels.
Then the soft chick’s eyes brightened as she saw the luxurious horse carriage.
What would be the first reaction of normal people once they saw this cool-ass shiny horse carriage?
That’s right! A rich person! And for the rich person to show off that much, they must also have power! If they had the power, then they could definitely save her!
So obviously, the chick pleaded for help.
But as the death warriors that the City Governor of Tian Du Cheng had selected himself, they definitely didn’t have thoughts of treasuring a beautiful female.
So it was very obvious that the Carriage Driver/Death Warrior not only didn’t go down to save her immediately, instead, the mighty and majestic horse carriage had blocked the chick’s path of escape.
Chick: The heavens wants me dead…
But just then, Gu Bai, the owner of the horse carriage heard the commotion, and-questioned-it.
As a young man who had a vision for his future, who had morals, who had strength and temperament, he obviously could just choose not to save her. But what was up with the female servant in front of him? Even though, without words, her eyes were going “pikapika” with stars all over them! Her being that obvious, how could he pretend not to see it?!
Gu Bai felt really conflicted.
He really wished now that he hadn’t asked about it earlier…who knew if the chick outside was a man-eating flower or not?
But he also couldn’t destroy his own glorious figure within Lu Xiao’s heart…
Gu Bai sat up and without any expression spoke, “Kill them, only leave behind the one asking for help.”
Lu Xiao immediately responded, “Roger!”
Then, as if she were flying, she sped out to pass the order.
Qi Guan Rui’s chin was resting on Gu Bai’s shoulder, “Gege…really likes beauties?” One of his fingers twirled the end of Gu Bai’s hair, and in an extremely soft voice, “The whole of Tian Du Cheng belongs to Gege if wished, why doesn’t Gege just take her in as a concubine…?”
Gu Bai’s mouth twitched.
…Do I really seem like a character who wouldn’t be able to walk past seduction in your eyes, Gu Xiao Shan?
Wrong! Extremely and utterly wrong! You’ve definitely misunderstood your brother here!
I’m just here to give my workers a few blessings under an accepted circumstance, that’s all!
It’s not because I felt too lonely on the journey and wanted to seek out some fun, okay?!
Thousands of horses ran inside of Gu Bai, but none of the extra emotions could be delivered to the True · Man-Eating Flower behind him.
Qi Guan Rui saw that he didn’t answer and his eyes slowly turned dark.
He was now a bit displeased.
If Zi Ju Shu Bai really went off track for a woman…his finger tightened slightly.
Gu Bai, “…Wu.”
Gu Xiao Shan, you’re pulling my hair too hard, you brat!
Qi Guan Rui released his grip.
If Zi Ju Shu Bai went off track for a woman, then he would just kill that woman.
Or he could turn her into a puppet too.
If Zi Ju Shu Bai were to adore that woman…
Qi Guan Rui’s mouth opened slightly and stayed open for a little.
I will let the puppet explode on the bed.
Then, Zi Ju Shu Bai being covered all over in blood and flesh would definitely be stunningly beautiful.
The death warriors of Tian Du Cheng’s working efficiency was first-rate, the few brutes out there were obviously nothing. In just a few minutes, someone from outside came back to report.
“City Governor, the brutes have been eliminated and we’ve rescued the person, where would the City Governor like to interrogate?”
Gu Bai sighed, obviously, he was gonna go outside and meet her.
The inside of the horse carriage was personal territory, how could he just let some rando come in? What a joke.
So he said, “Open the door.”
The death warriors, “…Yes.”
The few female servants opened the curtains and doors, anyway, the scene was quite lively.
Qi Guan Rui saw Gu Bai getting up and also stood up, “Gege, I will go as well.”
Gu Bai nodded, “Come.”
With the two, one in front and one behind, they came to the outside of the horse carriage.
But in the instant he was about to step out of the horse carriage, Gu Bai’s foot suddenly stopped.
It wasn’t that he was regretting it, but he had realized a very severe problem.
He, had, not, change, clothes!
Since he’d just been spending time in the horse carriage, meeting eyes with Qi Guan Rui every single day, Gu Bai just wore whatever was the most comfortable. So those were very much indoor clothes.
But now that he was about to go out to see someone else, how could he still be wearing pajamas?
That would straight-up destroyed his image, wouldn’t it?!
And if he were to go back only to specifically change a set of clothes…that would also destroy his image TAT
So Gu Bai couldn’t advance forward nor step backward, he felt oddly awkward.
And Qi Guan Rui…was very sensitive.
Right at the moment, Gu Bai stopped, he immediately realized Gu Bai’s struggle. Then after a quick scan with his eyes, he found the source of the problem.
If it was, as usual, he would’ve thought that this was pretty funny. But not only had Gu Bai saved a woman and said that he wanted to meet that woman, he even wanted to change clothes in order to see that woman…his mood immediately became even more ominous, the look in his eyes also became a bit twisted.
But Gu Bai didn’t realize it at all.
He thought and thought, then with a light bulb flash, he instantly turned his head around, “…Xiao Shan.”
The time to test you has come, hun!
Qi Guan Rui immediately returned to his senses and changed expression, “Gege?”
Gu Bai glanced at Qi Guan Rui from head to toe once, before, he’d thought that the other was too tall and that really left him, the older brother, with no face. But now he felt like this guy had grown in such a good way!
He instantly said, “You go to the front.”
Qi Guan Rui was a bit surprised.
Gu Bai lowered his volume, “…Help me block.”
Qi Guan Rui stilled at first but quickly got it.
He smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, “I definitely won’t let the other see even half of Gege.”
Gu Bai patted his shoulder, suggesting encouragement.
Good brother, what a faithful bro!
Qi Guan Rui’s mood turned sunny, he lifted a foot and walked in front of Gu Bai.
Blocking him entirely, without a miss.
Due to that kind of situation, Gu Bai had to turn his head slightly to see the situation outside, but because of the angle problem, the outside definitely couldn’t see him.
Good, his image was saved, temporarily.
So, Gu Bai looked.
Aside from the dogpile of brute corpses that’d long been dragged to the side by the death warriors to make a small mountain, there was only a young female sitting on the grass floor.
She was a beautiful, pure young female, she wore pitiful-looking white clothes, shiny teardrops piled up in her eyes, her face seemed to be feeling unfairness but also gratefulness.
Any man that saw this kind of young female, would want to embrace her and comfort her gently.
Cause she was just the type that made people want to caress her so badly, so petite and so moving.
But no matter which angle one looked from…this young female’s figure seemed to be too shriveled.
Her appearance might be beautiful, but she also appeared extremely childish.
That was right, this was an eleven to twelve year old…young female, or she could also have been called a female child, or girl would probably have been a more fitting word.
That was also the reason why a female servant that had been through great training would grow the feeling of compassion for her.
…Alright, it was another minor.
Even though Gu Bai had transmigrated for many years, he was still soft against these weak, soft creatures.
He looked at the young female, directed towards Lu Xiao, “Look after her.”
Lu Xiao understood the city governor’s intentions very well and immediately went over to support the young female up, letting her sit on a soft chair that had just been taken out.
The young girl was very frightened, she sat on the soft chair obediently. The two death warriors holding onto their huge knives were extremely intimidating, enough to scare her so she didn’t even dare to cry.
So Lu Xiao asked in a soft voice, “Little girl, what is your name and where did you come from?”
The young girl stumbled over her words with a soft, gentle voice, “My, my name is Yun Menglian, I’m-I’m from the Qinze Baicao Village…” Once she got there, as if she was afraid that they wouldn’t believe her, she quickened her speech and continued, “For real! I went up the mountains to pick herbs, as a result, I met up with that group of men. I don’t know why they wanted to kill me either, good thing I’ve been saved by you guys or else, I, I wouldn’t be alive…”
Boom boom boom!
At the moment of hearing the young girl’s name, inside of Gu Bai’s brain, great thunder had already started to strike.
Oh fucking god, it was Yun Menglian!
Why the heck did it have to be Yun, Meng, Lian?!
Gu Bai was too shocked to speak.
The three thousand wives of his protagonist, one of the most famous, which was out of the one empress, two concubines, four fairies, and the eight great beauties.
Yun Menglian, coincidentally, was the Baicao Concubine therein.
She was a village girl, who was also the only one who had relied entirely on themselves to climb up on to the throne of the “three most important women to the protagonist.”
