Labored breathing, in shock, with a faint hint of anticipation, just like Yue Xilou...
"Impossible! This Tower Master is overthinking..."
Shaking his head, the bitter smile on Yue Xilou’s face beca even more pronounced.
No one knew what losing Gu Changsheng ant to him...
Everyone has a place in their heart that cannot be touched or disturbed...
In the past, the untouchable place in Yue Xilou’s heart was held by the parents who abandoned him and ignored him, but later, after he t Gu Changsheng and learned that those two elderly people had actually been caring for him behind the scenes, Yue Xilou was relieved...
Replacing them was Gu Changsheng...
The woman of his own nephew, Gu Changsheng!
Yue Xilou laughed bitterly. As Yue Xilou road the world of romance, gallivanting in the Itinerant World, matchless; nevertheless, when it ca to matters concerning Gu Changsheng...
He lost!
From beginning to end, the most he could do was forget, and try hard to forget!
To try hard to treat her as family, without harboring any improper thoughts!
His pain and endurance, his bitterness and sorrow, only he could understand...
The happiest thing in this world is to et the right person...
And the saddest thing is, at the wrong ti...
At the wrong ti, to et the right person!
He, Yue Xilou, appeared in Gu Changsheng’s world after Zhou Mu...
More precisely, it was in order to find traces of his parents near Zhou Mu that he t Gu Changsheng!
A step too late!
It was just a step!
But, ultimately, still a step too late!
Even if inches away, they can be strangers separated by the ends of the earth, let alone, he was a step too late?
A step away, within arm’s reach, but for Yue Xilou, it is a lifeti of regret...
Buddha said, life has eight sufferings, unfulfilled desires, and not letting go are two of them. How fortunate he, Yue Xilou, was to truly experience these sufferings after eting Gu Changsheng!
That is true bitterness!
Bitter beyond words!
With a wry smile, this feeling, Yue Xilou thought, is truly sothing that can only be understood, not spoken.
However, there was little ti for Yue Xilou to ponder!
Because...
Because he heard the clear sound of heavy breathing!
As if so angry that even his breathing had beco rough, Yue Xilou looked around bewilderedly, listening to the heavy breathing echoing around him. He could even imagine how angry the owner of the voice was, imagining the rise and fall of their chest...
In the guest room.
Bound tightly under the Thousand-Year Cold Iron Shackles, Gu Changsheng, her inner strength overflowing, clearly observed the reaction of Yue Xilou in the City Lord’s Mansion!
On her radiant little face, a look of darkness was all over it as Gu Changsheng almost ground her silver teeth to pieces!
Then...
Then...
Amidst the bevy of blossoms, Yue Xilou heard a furious voice echoing from around, entering his ears clearly...
"Flower Peacock, you wretch! If you don’t let go, I’ll turn you into a woman, believe it or not?"
Turn him into a woman?
Hearing this, Yue Xilou’s beautiful face looked shocked, then instinctively looked down at his lower body...
With just one glance, Yue Xilou’s mind seed to be struck by lightning, instantly clear and bright!
"Girl!"
With a loud shout, Yue Xilou didn’t bother picking up his fallen folding fan, and with a leap, he dashed toward the guest room where Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu were...
This ti, there’s no mistake!
Only that girl Gu Changsheng would threaten him with such words!
It’s her!
It must be her!
She has awakened!
She has truly awakened, rembers who he is, and rembers to threaten him...
Not a heartless, murderous demon, nor a butcher who recognizes no kin, Gu Changsheng, she has truly awakened!
At that mont, indescribable joy danced within Yue Xilou’s chest. He suddenly felt that nothing else mattered. As long as Gu Changsheng could wake up, even if there would always be a regret deep in his heart that he could never let go of, so what?
At least, he could still see her, see her cynical deanor, see her arrogant and troubleso attitude...
Just as Yue Xilou was fiercely running towards where Gu Changsheng was, at the sa ti, others who also heard the Inner Strength transmission started heading to the sa location...
"Oh Heavenly Emperor’s Father, you’ve finally opened your eyes. The line of dicine King Valley is not forsaken!"
The dicine Immortal Old Man, with white hair and beard, was still not fully recovered from the injuries caused by Gu Changsheng. However, he used all his speed to quickly head to the guest room...
"Gu Changsheng! It’s Gu Changsheng, it really is her, she’s awake!"
Borjigin Nian was not far behind in speed. Almost as soon as he confird that the voice was indeed from Gu Changsheng, he rushed to the guest room...
Then...
Outside the guest room, Borjigin Nian and Yue Xilou ca face to face...
Borjigin Nian, with deep contours and a foreign tribe’s features, rembered how Yue Xilou ignored his confession and ran off. He couldn’t help but glare at him fiercely, then promptly lifted his leg and stretched out his hand to block Yue Xilou’s path...
"What are you doing? Move aside!"
Thrilled yet anxious, Yue Xilou, who was blocked by Borjigin Nian, had a face that, beautiful as a celestial being, instantly changed slightly.
The atmosphere suddenly beca a bit awkward...
"Hand it over!"
Borjigin Nian ignored Yue Xilou’s words, then stretched out his delicate hand in front of Yue Xilou and spoke.
"Hand over what?"
Yue Xilou was montarily dumbfounded by Borjigin Nian’s outstretched hand. His beautiful, almost otherworldly face was full of confusion as he looked at Borjigin Nian and asked, furrowing his brow.
"The key to the Thousand-Year Cold Iron Shackles, hand it over!" Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian rolled her eyes at Yue Xilou and extended her hand again.
"What do you need the key for? I, the Tower Master, have already reached the door. I..." Yue Xilou heard this, glanced at the door close at hand, and his brows furrowed even tighter, "Stop being unreasonable. Move aside quickly..."
"Move aside? Move aside and let you court death?" Before Yue Xilou could finish his words, Borjigin Nian spoke, her lips pointing to the tightly closed door. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Yue Xilou, have you forgotten who tied Gu Changsheng up like a dumpling? Have you forgotten how petty and vengeful Gu Changsheng is? You tied up her whole family, not leaving a single one out, and now you want to make an appearance before her? Isn’t this clearly sending a sheep into a tiger’s mouth? Are you sure you won’t give the key?"
Saying this, Borjigin Nian shrugged indifferently, letting Yue Xilou choose freely.
After all, she had said all that needed to be said. The choice was Yue Xilou’s to make! Anyway, what she said was the truth. Gu Changsheng was indeed soone without the virtue of repaying good for evil; soone who is extrely petty and vengeful. Even small grudges, she can rember for days, let alone being tied up?
Borjigin Nian thought that if Gu Changsheng were to show Yue Xilou a pleasant face, that would be a strange thing!
"Borjigin Nian! You traitor who values love over friendship!"
Before Borjigin Nian’s words could fade, an angry voice from Gu Changsheng inside the room was heard again!
As the crowd outside the room grew closer, they could faintly feel the powerful Inner Strength pressure inside, making them all shudder with awe!
Gu Changsheng had truly awakened!
Not only had she awakened, her Inner Strength had beco even more formidable!
This realization left everyone montarily stunned...
"Here!"
Then...
Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Yue Xilou, without a second thought, took a bunch of dark Cold Iron Keys from his waist and stuffed them into Borjigin Nian’s hands, then...
Then he turned back the way he ca...
"Where’s my fan? My fan seems to have been lost. You all carry on, I need to go find it..."
While making a quick escape, Yue Xilou waved back at everyone and continued.
Borjigin Nian took one look at the large bunch of keys in her hand, then again at the retreating figure of Yue Xilou, unable to suppress a sneering smirk, "I thought you had the courage, but in the end, you’re just a coward! Hmph! Take your ti finding your fan, look far and wide, and don’t walk straight into trouble..."
"Absolutely! Must look carefully!"
In the distance, Yue Xilou responded resolutely as if he couldn’t hear the sarcasm in Borjigin Nian’s words.
Seeing this, Borjigin Nian’s lips twitched. Holding the Cold Iron Key, she couldn’t help but stomp her foot and say in exasperation, "You’re just a coward! Always fleeing from trouble!"
When she mustered up the courage to confess to him, this guy fled the sa way!
He ran fast, without a backward glance. It’s maddening!
And at this mont, a crowd had already gathered at the guest room door...
One by one, those with eyes full of expectation, worry, and concern were all focused on Borjigin Nian...
The Cold Iron Key in Borjigin Nian’s hand!
Yue Xilou had banned it; the key to this guest room was just this bunch...
"Hey! You little Northern Mongolian girl, hurry up! Stop being lovesick and get on with it, he’s long gone, why are you still in a daze? Go open the door already?" The dicine Immortal Old Man urged impatiently upon looking at Borjigin Nian, his face full of anxiety!
He wasn’t familiar with this Northern Mongolian Princess; if he were, he would have already snatched it! His apprentice finally woke up, yet this little Northern Mongolian princess doesn’t think to quickly open the door; only first helps her lover escape, it really is putting love over friends!
