Gu Bai glanced at Yun Menglian silently, he felt as if his throat was blocked by air.
This young girl was under the age of fourteen or fifteen when she first met the protagonist, and she was one-track-minded.
That’s right, it was the type of one-track mind that not even eight horses could reign in.
In the original, Yun Menglian had two interests in her life. One was the Art of Poison Healing, and the other was the protagonist, Qi Guan Rui.
Because of her one-track mind, even though she really only started having passion in what she did after meeting the protagonist because she wanted to help him; she was still able to just depend on her own genius and thoroughly learn all the treasured practices of the Art of Poison Healing that’d been passed down in her family, all in just a few short years too. She could’ve become one of the best at the Art of Poison Healing in this world, she even had more space for development.
Yet thanks to her one-track mind, she fell in love with the protagonist at first sight after the first time the protagonist saved her. From then on, if the protagonist told her to kill, she would never set a fire, if he told her to poison someone, she would never put to use some mere curable medicine. She was the perfect example of carrying out every command perfectly.
She thought of no kindness or evil, no right or wrong.
Yun Mengling only had space in her eyes for the protagonist, whatever morals the protagonist had, were her morals as well.
And she would never get jealous, instead of saying that she saw the protagonist as a man she loved, it was probably better to say that she worshiped the protagonist as a god.
So long story short, she was the classic -All I want is to just be a little kitten or puppy that stays by your side, I won’t give you any trouble- little white flower.
Note: Also named the Man-Eating Flower.
With the protagonist whose element was also a ‘man-eating flower,’ it could be said that the two were “a couple made from birth, a match made in heaven.”
Once Gu Bai realized that this weak chick was Yun Menglian, he immediately hid further behind Qi Guan Rui.
He had only one thought then; ‘I definitely can’t let her see my face!’
Zi Ju Shu Bai had the perfect appearance within this book, and of course, the protagonist also had a good face. Yun Menglian fell in love at first sight when the protagonist conveniently saved her, who knew if she would also fall in love at first sight with Gu Bai or not?
This setting was just too straightforward and similar.
But it was too late.
The Yun Menglian chick had great eyesight; she’d immediately noticed Gu Bai when his figure appeared. Then just as expected, her cheeks reddened.
Her voice was also timid, “May I ask-ask, the name of my savior…?”
Gu Bai’s head turned silently.
I really wanna say “herher[1]” to her ORZ
Qi Guan Rui’s face darkened, he didn’t like the redness on that woman’s face.
Then he slightly turned his body and blocked Gu Bai even more securely.
Gu Bai had many choices and hesitations then.
He realized that it was very hard to answer……
If he answered: ‘You do not need to know.’
After the chick went back, she’d turn into a Man-Eating Flower in the future to come and find him.
If he answered: ‘Stupid woman.’
After the chick went back, she’d turn into a Man-Eating Flower in the future to come and find him.
If he answered: ‘Zi Ju Shu Bai’
After the chick went back, she’d still turn into a Man-Eating Flower in the future to come and find him.
……Seemed like no matter how he answered, after the chick went back, she would always turn into a Man-Eating Flower and come back to find him.
What a cunning move, herher.
Normally speaking, keeping an uncontrollable element by one’s side was the most secure choice.
But this chick wasn’t a normal, uncontrollable element.
She was an invisible bomb.
That Yun Menglian chick had no common sense. She grew up within the mountains and lived off the hundreds of different types of herbs there. She had taken in many strange things during her childhood, making her whole body immune to hundreds of poisons. So, she had the habit of using brightly colored things to cook with, and also really liked to share them with the one she liked
What kind of things were vividly colored and grew in the mountains? You guys get it.
Because the protagonist of this novel’s bloodline was the Sky Devouring Python’s, he was also immune to hundreds of poisons. So, to make the chick happy, he frequently shared poisonous food with the chick sappily.
But after all, the protagonist was the protagonist, he could be immune to hundreds of poisons but Gu Bai couldn’t!
If they kept the chick and if she used starry eyes to look at you every day as she watched you bring the vivid, colorful poisonous items to your mouth, would you eat it or not?
If he ate them, then he’d be dead.
If he didn’t…
The chick wouldn’t be happy → she would eat it herself → she’d go out and poison people randomly → there would be a whole bunch of deaths → leaving behind a huge, awful mess that would be hard to recover from.
Gu Bai’s face was cold, there seemed to be a ten-thousand-year old frost between his brows.
Then he gestured with his sleeve, “Drive her away.”
Freak, that chick, he could wait until she became a Man-Eating Flower that comes to find him then think about it!
Gu Bai only left an elegant and unreachable back for the person outside the carriage.
Lu Xiao immediately followed the order. She kindly used soft words to tell Yun Menglian to leave by herself. The death warriors moved swiftly as they transported the pile of corpses further away so that they wouldn’t block the road.
As for Qi Guan Rui……
He watched as Gu Bai walked into the carriage and in a corner that no one could see, he shot a black string looking thing onto the ground.
That was his snake gu.
The thin, tiny snake gu traveled through the grass secretly, it quickly came to the side of Yun Menglian’s foot and immediately slipped into her skin.
The whole process was painless and there was no infection, the low martial skilled chick hadn’t even noticed it at all.
Once Qi Guan Rui felt it, his lips curved up without a sound.
The snake gu that he controlled, only when this woman appeared near them, would he be able to feel it easily.
He could also easily control her life and death.
Qi Guan Rui also quickly returned inside the carriage; Gu Bai was now leaning against the carriage’s wall as he started to read once again.
After Qi Guan Rui came in, he walked over and sat beside him naturally. Gu Bai fixed his posture a bit and lay down on his legs again.
This has already turned into a natural habit, he actually thought that the human body cushion satisfied him the most, and all the other pillows weren’t comfortable anymore.
Qi Guan Rui was very satisfied as well, he drew a circle with his finger and started to take in the passing wu qi from the air again.
Just like him, no matter how comfortable of a position Gu Bai was in, his training would still continue at all times.
Maybe because the chick that they’d met was too fierce, for the rest of the journey, Gu Bai didn’t encounter any uncontrollable events.
So, after a few months, the group of people successfully arrived at the Hao Yang City’s……outside.
In front of the city gate, on both sides stood a great line of martial artists in armor. Every one of them was like a fierce devil as they……collected money.
That’s right, one needed to pay to get into the city.
And the price wasn’t cheap either.
When Gu Bai’s extravagant carriage had stopped, there was still a huge line in front of them.
Even if all the city guards were to come to collect money as well, the line still seemed like it would be there for a long time, it was impossible to see the end of it with one look.
And in this long, long line, no matter what one’s background was, no matter what their identities were, they all needed to wait in line.
So, there were quite a few people who also had extravagant carriages there with them, if you compared it, Gu Bai’s carriage didn’t seem so eye-blinding anymore either.
Gu Bai wore a white robe with a layer of silver gauze over the top of it, his hair had already been fixed with a tall, white jade crown[2]. He had an extremely perfect face, with his eyes half-closed as he rested expressionlessly. This made his whole being look like a god from above, exuding a type of superman aura around himself.
Basically, he displayed his high-skilled, acting cool ability, once again.
He needed to start preparing his emotions right now.
Qi Guan Rui fixed his clothing for him, then received a hairpin from Lu Xiao to insert into the white jade crown.
That was the last piece of the look.
Didn’t know when it started, but such things as helping the city governor with clothing, shoes, hair, massages, and such things that only the personal female servant could do were all taken away by this personal guard. Because of that, the four perfect female servants wanted to say that it was unfair. But under Gu Bai’s indulgence, they could only back off in resentment.
Speaking honestly, even though women’s bodies and whatever were something that the majority of men liked, and at first, Gu Bai also felt very comfortable to have someone else do stuff for him. But being surrounded by a bunch of women from day to night, he felt at least a bit uncomfortable.
So, since Qi Guan Rui came, Gu Bai was very satisfied by him.
……Then did that mean that only men really knew what other men really needed?
Qi Guan Rui always wore plain clothing, but even if he wore plain clothes, he was still able to give others a pleasant feeling when looked at.
The carriage moved forward slowly, as Qi Guan Rui followed Gu Bai, he also felt a bit of interest for the Qing Tian Academy.
After all, this was said to be the holy ground of martial artists. It wasn’t that he’d never considered coming here when he felt bored before, but he didn’t care too much for it either. Now that he came here with Gu Bai, a spark of interest suddenly grew in him.
Tian Du Cheng was a very wealthy city, after Gu Bai took over, it became even more wealthy.
The City Governor had a lot of money in his savings, even if he’d normally spent his money as if he was burning it, it could’ve burned for a long time.
So, this entrance fee was nothing to them.
Tian Du Cheng’s carriage entered the city gate very successfully.
But as excellent servants and death warriors, how could the mere success of entering the city be all of their skills? They also had to immediately find their City Governor a suitable place to rest.
That was the most important thing at that moment.
But the bad news was that, in the Hao Yang City, at that time, there were a lot of people there.
Even though it wasn’t so far to where they wouldn’t have places to land their feet, but inns and taverns were all very crowded.
Especially those very high-class resting places, they were doing great business.
But to the servants and the death warriors, their City Governor deserved only the best.
So, they didn’t even hesitate before setting out for the most well-known inn, which was also the most expensive inn.
The inn’s name was simply, “Martial Artist Inn.”
Just as the name read, that inn only allowed martial artists to stay.
And so, one afternoon, in front of the Martial Artist Inn came a carriage that one could tell was expensive just from one look.
The one that kept watch at the inn’s door immediately wiped his eyes clean and welcomed them with an enthusiastic look.
This must be another fat sheep!
That staff member was the nephew of the inn’s Manager Wei, his name was Wei Wu. He was very good at reading faces, or else he wouldn’t have gotten the important job of luring customers in at the door either.
With one scan of his eyes, he could tell how much money a customer had. With a sniff of his nose, he could smell money within the customer’s pocket.
You ask why a staff member at such an expensive inn would love money so much?
Heh, if the people of the inn didn’t love money, then the inn wouldn’t have been that expensive either.
Wei Wu quickly walked over, even though he didn’t bow or kneel down, he definitely showed hospitality and manners, “May I ask how should I address my customers?”
Then, he heard the extremely nice sounding voice of a girl and instantly became drunk on it.
Beauty! That was definitely a sign that there was a stunning beauty there!
