"Medicine King, aren't you being a bit too nosy?" Gu Yuan was clearly getting impatient.
Although I had no idea what Gu Yuan was up to when he brought me into the tomb, I was sure it wasn't anything good.
It was only at this moment that Xue Liang learned that the master he had been loyal to in the mortal world was Xi Nv, and Gu Yuan was her biological son. Although the two of them were on bad terms now, blood was thicker than water after all. Maybe they'd quarrel today and make up tomorrow.
Xue Liang, that old fox, definitely wouldn't treat Gu Yuan badly anymore. Instead, he was even more attentive than before.
"That's right... I just didn't expect, Third Master, that you have such a unique taste... Hahaha, just joking..."
After Xue Liang said this to Gu Yuan with a beaming smile, his expression changed the next second. He winked at me and said, "Serve Third Master well. If you're negligent, you'll be in big trouble."
I quickly lowered my head, pretending not to even dare to breathe loudly. Inside, I had already cursed him as a big pervert countless times.
"Hurry up." Xue Liang urged me to follow.
"Third Master, have a good time. I've given the medicine to this girl. If you change your mind about what the master said, just call me anytime. I'll be right outside the door."
He fawned on Gu Yuan non - stop from behind, but Gu Yuan didn't even turn his head. He walked towards the side tomb chamber.
I held the medicine bottle in both hands and scurried after him into the side tomb chamber. Normally, the main tomb chamber had east and west side chambers. But here, it was impossible to tell the directions. I didn't know if I was in the east or west side chamber. Anyway, this place was quite large.
The most peculiar thing was that there was an extremely huge underground river here. The river water gathered into a pool here, looking like an enormous swimming pool.
On the other side of the pool, there was also a large coffin. The rest of the place was empty.
This really did seem like a tomb for the living dead. Looking at the coffin, I let my imagination run wild. I wondered if, if I jumped into that coffin, there would be a martial arts manual on the coffin lid.
Or maybe there was a secret passage under the coffin through which I could escape.
Just as I was daydreaming about all these scenarios, Gu Yuan called out to me.
"Come here and help me undress." I held the bottle of medicine in my hand and didn't react for a long time.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear me?" Gu Yuan showed his impatience.
"Ah? Oh." I quickly stuffed the thing in my hand into my waistband and walked towards him.
"Gu..." One word got stuck in my throat. I almost blew my cover.
"Gu what?" Gu Yuan frowned and looked at me. He even heard such a soft voice.
"Ah? I meant the great immortal with a warm heart. May I ask what your orders are?" I forced a smile and looked at him, completely showing the attitude of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.
Gu Yuan looked at me with his deep, pool - like eyes, seemingly full of questions.
"You're not even afraid of me at all?" Gu Yuan asked.
Only then did I realize he was right. A girl in her twenties had been brought to a tomb for no reason.
She had seen so many strange things and was finally brought to a side tomb chamber to stand with a strange man. I really hadn't shown much fear.
"I'm scared. Of course I'm scared. It's just that when I saw your peerless beauty, I wasn't that scared anymore. Just by looking at you, I knew you weren't a bad person."
I lowered my head, my fingers constantly tugging at a corner of my clothes. I didn't dare to look at his face directly and kept flattering Gu Yuan, hoping he wouldn't see through my disguise and that I could get away with it.
"Ouch, you've got me all wrong. I'm a bad person." As soon as he said this, his body instantly teleported behind me.
His two hands reached in from my lower back, grabbing my waist and slowly sliding upwards.
I instinctively gasped and quickly broke free from his chest.
"Great immortal, please behave yourself."
"Why should I behave myself?" Gu Yuan had a sly smile on his face and took a step forward.
I quickly took a few steps back, with panic on my face.
"I... I heard you're married. How can you be worthy of your wife like this?"
"You don't need to worry about this. I don't want to repeat myself." When Gu Yuan spoke coldly, that intimidating power made me afraid even though I was quite close to him.
When Gu Yuan took another step forward, I took a few more steps back. Suddenly, I stepped into thin air and fell backwards.
"Ah..."
"Splash..." I raised my hand, hoping Gu Yuan would pull me up. But that guy just stood there with his arms crossed over his chest, looking like he was watching a show. He just watched me fall into the water without doing anything.
My body sank into the water, and I choked on several mouthfuls of water. I was from the north and a complete landlubber. I didn't know how to swim at all.
In such deep water, I flailed around a couple of times and was about to sink to the bottom. Whether I could get to the shore or not completely depended on when the lifeguard would fish me out.
"Help... Glug glug..." My hands kept slapping on the water surface.
Half of my head was above the water, and I stared at Gu Yuan's face. Did he really want to drown me?
Just when despair welled up in my heart, Gu Yuan's face showed a look of gloating and a hint of mockery.
"Alright, stand up."
Only then did I understand. I had been so panicked when I fell into the water that I'd just been thinking about saving myself and flailing around blindly. It turned out I was kneeling in the water. No wonder I'd choked on water.
After realizing this, I quickly put my feet down to touch the bottom. Sure enough, when I stood up straight, the water only reached my chest.
This was so embarrassing. I vigorously wiped the water off my face with both hands and gave Gu Yuan a cold glare.
I waded through the water and wanted to get to the shore. Just as I reached the shore, Gu Yuan actually got into the water too.
I ignored him and wanted to bypass him and climb onto the shore. But Gu Yuan reached out and grabbed the back of my collar, pulling me in front of him.
"I said, undress me..." He was already injured, and his face now looked even more sickly.
I looked up and saw his current state. I felt a bit heart - ache, but then I remembered what he had done to me, and I was still very angry.
But now I was at his mercy. How could I not yield?
I took out the medicine from my waist.
"Please take the medicine first, and then I'll help you undress."
Seeing that I had become obedient, Gu Yuan reached out and wiped my face. There was even a long - lost look of doting in his eyes.
"Little kitten..."
His gentle voice actually made my eyes well up with tears, and my mouth involuntarily trembled.
I stuffed the medicine in my hand to him, turned my head, and opened my eyes wide, forcing myself not to cry at this moment.
After holding back for a long time, I turned my head and asked, "Great immortal, have you taken the medicine?"
Gu Yuan nodded and looked down at my face, as if he couldn't get enough of it. I slightly raised my head. As soon as my eyes met his, I immediately lowered my head and shifted my gaze to his already soaked clothes.
The wrinkled clothes clung to his body. He was a perfect abstinent - style god. Now Gu Yuan didn't recognize me, and him asking me to undress him was clearly like having an affair.
Just thinking about this made my heart ache.
