"Splash!"
The sound of water splashing was unusually loud at the crack of dawn when all was silent!
In the next instant after the splashing sound, the red-clad woman sprawled on the bed like a puppet triggered by so chanism, sprang up instantly!
"What’s happening? Is the sky falling? Is the ground caving in?"
With water dripping from her head and face, chilled to the bone, Gu Changsheng looked around in confusion, clearly still in a daze!
"The sky hasn’t fallen, the ground hasn’t caved in, it’s just , the old man, that’s arrived!"
The dicine Immortal Old Man saw Gu Changsheng sit up and imdiately bent down to pick up the Door Bolt from the floor...
And Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this voice, looked back in bewildernt, and then...
Then she saw half of a face swollen like pig’s head at...
"Mother! Ghost!"
Gu Changsheng, who was already not fully conscious, was suddenly scared out of her wits. With a scream, she fell straight back onto the bed...
anwhile, the dicine Immortal Old Man had already prepared to swing the Door Bolt towards Gu Changsheng’s forehead...
As she suddenly fell back...
The Bolt missed her head by a hair...
It just swung in empty air!
When Gu Changsheng shouted, everyone opened their eyes in unison and saw this scene...
To be fair, the dicine Immortal Old Man was more ruthless than they were!
If it were them, they doubted they could bear to swing a Door Bolt at Gu Changsheng’s forehead...
But the dicine Immortal Old Man had no qualms, he swung it boldly, though it’s a pity he missed...
"This..."
The dicine Immortal Old Man looked at the Door Bolt he swung in vain, also a bit stunned.
He hadn’t expected Gu Changsheng, who had already sat up, to fall back again, causing his ready-to-strike Door Bolt to miss its mark completely!
This...
However, the dicine Immortal Old Man quickly sensed sothing was awry...
"You little rascal, get up, and tell who you called a ghost! Explain yourself! I was once a charming youth, who captivated countless respectable won, who do you say looks like a ghost?"
Having sensed sothing amiss, the dicine Immortal Old Man beca indignant and poked the water-soaked woman with the Door Bolt!
No response?
Poke again!
He refused to believe she wouldn’t wake up!
Finally, Gu Changsheng, feigning dead on the bed, couldn’t stand it anymore!
Enough’s enough, if she continued pretending, her waist’s flesh would definitely get poked raw by her master! How great must the resentnt be?
Eyes still closed, long lashes still wet with the water splashed by the dicine Immortal Old Man earlier, her long black hair dripping, Gu Changsheng reached her hand under her pillow, searching...
She retrieved a small mirror and stretched it towards the dicine Immortal Old Man...
As a woman who treasured beauty above all, a vain beauty, she always kept such a mirror handy, whether on her person or by the bed, ready for her to admire her reflection anyti and be wowed by her own beauty...
However, this ti, Gu Changsheng intended to reflect the monster standing by the bed!
She genuinely didn’t want to acknowledge that the terrifying face was the source of the voice from her master’s mouth...
"Old man, take a look, is the person in this mirror the pear blossom pressing the begonia you once claid to be..." Youyou’s voice ca from Gu Changsheng’s mouth, now fully awake...
Blankly sitting up from the bed, Gu Changsheng pointed at the small mirror held towards the dicine Immortal Old Man...
The dicine Immortal Old Man frowned at her words and then looked into the small mirror in Gu Changsheng’s hand...
One glance!
Only one glance!
The dicine Immortal Old Man stumbled backward a step, falling with a thud onto the ground, shouting in horror, "Ghost!"
Godfather, what did he see?
The person with cracked lips, blood seeping, half of the face swollen horribly, was really him?
No! No no!
The dicine Immortal Old Man refused to believe such a reality!
"Cough cough!"
"Cough!"
"Cough cough!"
"..."
Behind the dicine Immortal Old Man, a series of fake coughs suddenly sounded!
God knows how hard it was for them to avert their gaze first thing in the morning when faced with the dicine Immortal Old Man’s vast old face, holding themselves back from looking, from asking, and especially from laughing...
"Old man, do you see? I’m not the one saying I look like a ghost, am I? Even I’m startled by my own charm, right?"
Sitting on the bed, Gu Changsheng blinked her big eyes, speaking innocently.
The dicine Immortal Old Man, squatting on the floor, ca back to his senses upon hearing this. He glared hatefully at Gu Changsheng, then his old eyes glead with a flash of brilliance. His bleeding lips twitched, and he hissed in pain before forcing himself to speak, "Are you like a crow crouching on a pig’s butt, only seeing the darkness of old age? Why not take a look in the mirror yourself?"
"Huh?" Gu Changsheng was taken aback, a bit puzzled, and she muttered as she looked confusedly at the old man by her bed and the people standing in the inner chamber, turning their heads as if refusing to see her. There was a hint of bewildernt in her Phoenix Eyes as she turned the small mirror in her hand, mumbling, "What’s this? Of course, I’m amazed by my own charm; in fact, I wake up daily stunned by my own handsoness... Damn! Whose handprint is this? How did it end up on my face? Ahhhhh?"
But even as soone so narcissistic as to wake up stunned by their own charm, she hadn’t finished her words when she completely freaked out, screaming hysterically at the reflection of her face in the small mirror!
Damn!
What did she just see?
Whose pigface was this in the mirror?
Where did these symtrical handprints on both sides of her face co from?
Where had her bright and beautiful face gone, one that incited even the heavens and earth’s resentnt? Where was it?!
"Who did this?! Who the hell slapped in my sleep, huh?" Slamming the small mirror onto the bed, Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes filled with rage, and she angrily glared at everyone in the inner chamber, shouting, "Who? Whose handprint is this? Get out here now! If I don’t beat you so badly your own parents can’t recognize you, then I’m not..."
Damn!
Who the hell dared to slap her into a pigface while she was asleep?!
This was simply unbearable!
Or rather, intolerable!
"A re humble servant, it was indeed this old man!"
In response to Gu Changsheng’s questioning, the dicine Immortal Old Man, with his vast and magnificent old face, took a step forward without hesitation and said rather proudly, even seeming to admire his handiwork by giving a straightforward glance at Gu Changsheng’s face...
"I..." Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched, and that twitch suddenly made her realize there was a slight dull ache to her little face...
And the instigator of her plight was standing there right before her...
But...
But he was the dicine Immortal Old Man!
How coincidental that he was wearing her master’s title!
Should she betray her master?
Gu Changsheng thought it wouldn’t be too serious if she occasionally did such a thing...
But the crucial issue was...
This guy...
She couldn’t beat him!
"I think, given how you look right now, your parents might not even recognize you! Saves the trouble of dealing with it myself!" Gu Changsheng, gritting her teeth, spat this out, then resignedly collapsed onto the bed, clutching her face imprinted with symtrical handprints.
Damn!
Whom did she offend, really?!
Why slap her in her sleep?
Thinking so, Gu Changsheng sat up again and asked just that!
Confronted with the question, the dicine Immortal Old Man showed no panic whatsoever and replied quite nonchalantly, "Arriving last night, seeing soone sleeping like a pig, I couldn’t resist giving her a little nudge..."
"So just because I was sleeping more blissfully than you, you did this to ?" Upon hearing his words, Gu Changsheng instantly grew furious, pointing to her now unbearably swollen small face, "How could you be so cruel to such a beautiful face as mine?"
Upon hearing this, the dicine Immortal Old Man glanced at Gu Changsheng’s face and pondered, then said, "Facing such an unbearable face, I think I could do it another ti!"
"I an my face before you slapped it!" Gu Changsheng glared.
"Who knew your face couldn’t stand a light pat? I rely brushed it gently..." The dicine Immortal Old Man turned his head, carelessly saying.
Brushing...
Now that was really shaless!
With such brushing, symtrical palm prints appeared on her cheeks?
Wasn’t this just fooling ghosts by burning paper in their graves?!
If Gu Changsheng believed it, she would indeed be a ghost!
"Needless to say, was that delightfully cold full bucket of water also your doing?" Shaking off the water stains on her pajamas and her dripping hair, Gu Changsheng looked at the dicine Immortal Old Man and asked, gritting her teeth.
"None other than myself!" The dicine Immortal Old Man lifted his head proudly and admitted.
"Then can you tell what you were planning to do with a door bolt in your hand?" Gu Changsheng’s eyes were starting to turn a bit red.
"Douse you awake, then give you a good thump with the door bolt!"
