Gu Bai glanced at a certain stone door silently before quickly looking away, he said, “We only came to hunt in the mountains, this place seems strange, it is best to leave quickly.”
He gave himself a like on the inside.
These encounters and dangers always existed simultaneously anyway, there were many people who’d thought they’d met a lucky encounter, but in reality, they just stepped into a trap, that was definitely a great reason!
Qi Guan Rui looked at Gu Bai with thoughts in mind.
If he hadn’t read this wrong, it seemed like Zi Ju Shu Bai was…avoiding…
Avoiding on purpose.
Did he know what was in there?
Was there danger…no, if there was danger, with how Zi Ju Shu Bai was, he wouldn’t act like there was nothing.
But if it wasn’t dangerous, then what reason could there be?
Since Qi Guan Rui valued Gu Bai so much, he didn’t oppose him.
But as for the new chick on the side, she was unwilling to leave so easily.
Gu Bai understood it after thinking as well, he knew that Qin Jiao was actually a free-will hunter, she was currently in a poor family……In reality, she was the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy clan, found by the family after her bloodline awakened. She was acknowledged and asked to return, since then, her status had raised. Once she met the psycho protagonist and was conquered, naturally, all her background power also fell into the psycho protagonist’s hands.
But as of now, she was saved when coming here, her bloodline hadn’t awakened, so she was still poor, so she still needed to make a living somehow.
Now that she’d finally found a place that seemed to have treasures, even if there was danger, the chick clenched her teeth, she was determined to not let the chance slip by!
So, as Gu Bai offered the suggestion, Qin Jiao had already moved to the front of the stone tablet and started to read the words carved on it.
It was a soul-stirring love story.
Simply put, it was the story of a Wu Di[1] who titled himself the “Qian Kun Man” falling in love with a pure and cute girl when he was young. But he was not powerful enough then and due to many reasons, he lost the cute girl. Later, when the cute girl died, the Qian Kun Man put himself through harsh training to finally level up to a Wu Di, now he could finally seek revenge for the cute girl, but the cute girl’s soul was nowhere to be found, leaving him alone by himself.
So, the Qian Kun Man lived here, secluded from the outside world with a dead heart, also dying here.
This was the legendary, ridiculous, and cliched storyline, the type of cliche that was so overused, no one would even read it in novel-form.
……Of course, that was still made up by Gu Bai.
Once Qin Jiao understood it, she was obviously joyed.
What did it mean that he also died here? That meant all of his fortune amassed over a life-time was also here!
A Wu Di leveled master, they must have an abundance of family wealth. For a little nobody like her, who hadn’t even reached the Wu Jun level, if she could acquire it, then she would definitely become rich overnight. So, she immediately looked over, there was already caution in her eyes.
……She absolutely had to get those treasures, but the two saviors who saved her life were her hindrance.
Even if it seemed like they didn’t have any interest in this place, what method could she use to come back in again after they leave?
Qi Guan Rui looked at Qin Jiao’s expression and was able to guess her thoughts, so he inched close to Gu Bai’s ear, speaking softly, “Gege, the person we saved seems to be plotting against us! Say, should we teach her a lesson?”
For a character who Gu Bai had written himself, of course, he knew that Qin Jiao was set with the temperament where she would do anything to reach her goals, the behavior right in front of him was just too normal. But…he felt a little weird inside. Didn’t Gu Xiao Shan like this girl? Could he have misunderstood? The tone he’d just used even made his scalp go a bit cold.
Yet Gu Bai didn’t think much, he just thought the kid he raised himself was defending for his sake.
But the psycho protagonist’s chick couldn’t be touched so easily!
He contemplated for a bit, then decided to make the choice of touching this cave just slightly.
Gu Bai looked at Qin Jiao without any expression on his face, “You want to stay?”
Qin Jiao just felt a strong sense of suppression coming at her, the young male in front of her seemed to show no sympathy for her at all, as if once she says one wrong word, then she would fall into endless despair. This man was too terrifying!
She trembled before speaking, “Since we had the fate to end up here, why not search around altogether, in case we miss…”
Gu Bai kept his stoic face, “One person per door.”
There happened to be just three stone doors in the cave, all closed, secure, and tight. If there were any lucky encounters, then they would have to be behind those three stone doors.
Qin Jiao collected herself, before speaking knowingly, “You two can pick first.”
She was a weak girl that definitely couldn’t beat those two strong men, she might as well be more obedient first.
Gu Bai nodded, pointing with a finger, “That one’s yours.”
Qin Jiao didn’t dare to say anything else, she turned, leaving her back to face the two as she went up to push the door with a continuously drumming heart.
The three of them came down together, no one should be able to cause any trouble, so she still had one-third of a chance in the end…
Gu Bai only looked away after Qin Jiao entered the door.
Qi Guan Rui asked, “Gege, where are we going?”
Gu Bai spoke, “You’re following me?”
Qi Guan Rui smiled, “Of course, there’s no way I’d separate from Gege.”
Gu Bai was pleased, he already knew Gu Xiao Shan would say that.
So, he raised his eyes and brought up an immense amount of courage before walking towards the center door.
Qi Guan Rui could feel the change in his emotions, he was a bit curious as he followed in quick steps.
Inside the door, an enchanting fragrance flowed towards them, it made one’s mind relaxed and joyful.
Yet there was only darkness in front of the two’s eyes.
A meandering stone path was in front, traveling towards a bright end.
Gu Bai stepped out, walking in silence.
As for what was in front, he couldn’t be any more familiar with it.
It was because of how familiar he was with it, he…
Little fingernail-sized, purple flowers swarmed among each other and formed an enormous and gorgeous sea of flowers.
The flowing wind within the cave reeled up, lifting waves up from the sea of flowers, it was as if they were glistening, with shards of stars, but had also rolled in a churning galaxy.
An incomparable, beguiling view.
Gu Bai palmed his forehead.
That’s right, because he was too familiar with it, it made him think: Just what did he do wrong that caused him to have to play out a romance with a man?!
They were fucking looking at the killing move of courting a chick as well, a sea of lavender flowers!
Of course, these aren’t called lavender in the world of ancient martial arts, they were called Heart of Illusion Herb.
In the legend, it was said that if a man was deeply in love with a woman, they would plant a field of Heart of Illusion Herbs for her with their own hands. Once those herbs matured, the two could vow a pledge in front of the flower sea, then they wouldn’t be separated for life.
It was obvious that when the Qian Kun Man started living in seclusion, he planted these Heart of Illusion Herbs. In order to allow his loved girl’s dream to come true, even if he was the only one left, he was still going to finish the anticipation that the cute girl had back then. Once finished, the Qian Kun Man’s wish was also accomplished, he felt like he had the face to see the cute girl now, so he caused his own death.
Qi Guan Rui was also shocked by the sea of flowers.
He also recognized this type of herb, and of course, he knew the legend behind it.
But what he thought was, right after he came to realize his desires towards Zi Ju Shu Bai, they were able to see this stuff, could it be heaven’s presage?
The eyes he used to look at Gu Bai at the time became a bit scorching.
Gu Bai didn’t sense Qi Guan Rui’s mood, he just stood there quietly, putting on an appearance of flower-viewing.
Anyway, he couldn’t allow Gu Xiao Shan to go to the other cave, aoao! The things in there absolutely couldn’t be found by others, aoao!
Speaking up to this point, let us introduce what lucky encounter the psycho protagonist was supposed to run into.
First was the door that Qin Jiao went in, there were a few traps in there, but weren’t too difficult. At the end were a bunch of beast eggs.
And those beast eggs were all dead eggs.
.…..Since the Qian Kun Man had been dead for a long time, the vitality for the beast eggs was also used up.
Though of course, there was still one alive.
The living one was also the strongest, too bad that its vitality could only be detected by the protagonist who had the Sky Devouring Python bloodline’s power to sense it. Anyone else would just see it as a dead egg. So, Qin Jiao would be very disappointed after entering, and the dead eggs were just trash, Qin Jiao definitely wouldn’t take them out.
So, the psycho protagonist’s pet #01 was saved.
The field of flower sea inside the door Gu Bai entered, merely existed to be romantic.
The effect it had in the original novel was that the psycho protagonist rolled in the bed-sheets in that public space with a certain chick who was adventuring with him.
As for why they just suddenly went and had sex publicly?
Then the last door couldn’t be left unmentioned.
In actuality, that was the first door the psycho protagonist went in.
So, let us set up a flow chart:
Protagonist meets the lucky encounter → Enters the first door → Rolls in bed-sheets in the second door.
The implied message in between…
That was right, how could a stallion novel be missing aphrodisiac?!
A stallion novel without aphrodisiac is not a complete nor a faithful stallion novel!
Inside the first door, were piled all the savings the Qian Kun Man made in his lifetime, it allowed the psycho protagonist, who already had quite a bit of family background, to increase in a little wealth as well. What attracted the protagonist the most at the time was a little piece of Mandarin Duck Shiba[2].
This type of Mandarin Duck Shiba was also one of those super rare and beneficial treasures, it was very impressive!
When one ate this Mandarin Duck Shiba, not only would they hone the martial energy that was originally in their body, but it could also raise it by a great cut. For those who had trained to a stage where it got harder to break through, they even had half the chance to burst through that stage, it really was powerful!
But this type of Mandarin Duck Shiba had a problem, even though it had so many great qualities, after eating it, one’s blood would boil for a while.
In short, their body would be set on fire.
Wasn’t it just so compatible with its name?
The psycho protagonist and the chick found the Mandarin Duck Shiba successfully after finding the place together, they were hit with the Mandarin Duck Shiba’s scent immediately and were drugged, even though the effect wasn’t too heavy.
The chick already had a bit of interest in the psycho protagonist, under the effect of the aphrodisiac, the psycho protagonist wanted to find a place and do it. So, the chick went to the second door with the protagonist, half yielding and half denying. After seeing the sea of flowers, her heart was even more touched, so she just…accepted him.
Then as the psycho protagonist did the deed, the excitement swelled greatly, he straight up ate the Mandarin Duck Shiba to add some effect before rolling around with the chick for three days and three nights. Later, such things as his martial power increasing greatly, breaking through barriers without any trouble…they didn’t need to be described in detail.
Think about it, something as weird as the Mandarin Duck Shiba, how could two men go find it together?!
Gu Bai expressed his thought, that definitely needed to be given up.
Estimating that Qin Jiao should be about done over there as well, Gu Bai finally turned his head back to speak with Qi Guan Rui, “Xiao Shan, the senior Qian Kun Man was lovesick his whole life, since he is already deceased, we shouldn’t disturb the site where he and his lover slumbers…I don’t wish to continue to pry into this place, what are your thoughts?”
Qi Guan Rui smiled slightly, his eyes were as soft as water, “I’ll listen to whatever Gege says.”
Gu Bai’s little heart shuddered, he felt there was a little danger in this environment.
He turned and took the lead of walking out the door.
If he remained here, then he was gonna turn weird too.
