I was utterly shocked. Was he insane? How could he rip my clothes in this kind of situation? Even if I was a good-tempered person, I couldn't bear it.
I was already in pain all over my body. I couldn't bear any more tossing and turning. I raised my hand and tried to break free from his imprisonment. My two hands were easily pressed by his one hand. My abdomen was pressed against his leg. My back was facing Gu Yuan. I couldn't be any more ashamed.
"Don't move."
Gu Yuan seemed to be annoyed by me. The two words were like ice charms. They directly froze me. I didn't dare to move.
I looked dejected. I didn't know what he was going to do. It wasn't until there was a cold sensation on my shoulder. The original feeling of pain disappeared. What came with it was a cool air that flowed from my shoulder to every part of my body.
Even more amazing was that the bloodstain on my arm disappeared. My slender arm returned to normal. It was white and delicate.
The pain on my body gradually disappeared with the cool air.
So he was helping me to heal my injuries. I felt a bit ashamed. I lay on his knee. I bit my lips embarrassedly.
"Not getting up yet?" His cold attitude instantly extinguished the little joy that just rose up in me.
"Oh." I quickly pulled up the clothes on my shoulder and sat up.
I was like a child who made a mistake. Although I was lowering my head, I still wanted to take a look at his expression from time to time.
I didn't see him speak for a long time. I took the initiative to speak: "Where did you go just now?"
"Can't you tell?" His words left me speechless. I didn't want to talk to him anymore. I turned around and wanted to take a look at Lihua's condition.
But Gu Yuan suddenly pulled me into his arms.
I cried out in a panic. The next second, his cold lips were pressed against my lips.
His lips were sweet. It was like drinking honey when I licked it. Just when I was immersed in it.
Suddenly, there was a pain in my lips. I instinctively pushed him away. I covered my swollen lips with my hands. He actually bit my lips.
Sure enough, he was a cold-blooded animal. He couldn't be tamed.
But I still dared not to speak out against him.
I watched as he raised a fair hand with distinct knuckles. He held my chin. His thumb gently brushed over my bloodstained lips. The blood stained his thumb and formed a water droplet. It floated between his two fingers.
He picked up a silver-white necklace with a silver crescent moon on the pendant.
Gu Yuan gently picked up that drop of blood. He dropped it on the crescent moon. The crescent moon changed from the original silver-white to a blood moon.
There was a drop of blue liquid flowing under the blood moon. It was crystal clear and holy. It was as if a blood moon had risen above the sea. It was extremely beautiful.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the necklace. The corner of his mouth curled up in a thought-provoking arc. It was just a curl of the corner of his mouth. It was enough to capture people's hearts. I stared blankly.
"Turn around."
"Ah?" I was stunned for two seconds. I continued to ask: "Is it for me?"
He didn't speak. I knew that I couldn't ask anymore. If I asked again, he would be angry. So I obediently turned around.
When the silver snake bone chain was placed on my collarbone, the cold sensation was extremely comfortable.
Gu Yuan helped me put it on. I turned around and gave him a sweet smile.
I said to him: "Thank you."
He didn't respond to me. His eyes were always fixed on the necklace.
"This is called the Eight Tears of Sorrow. It has just been unsealed with your blood. There is already a drop of tear inside. From today onwards, you will wear it and help me collect the remaining seven drops of tears in the world."
After Gu Yuan said these words, I felt a bit disappointed for no reason. So it wasn't a gift for me.
"Oh."
I lowered my head and looked at the pendant that was red like blood. Since it wasn't a gift for me, why did he still use my blood to unseal it? It was a bit too much.
"You chased after that Black Fairy just now for this thing?" I asked curiously.
"It wasn't to snatch. This was originally my thing. It was just stolen by Jin Yue. I found out that it fell into the hands of this black bear."
So that was the case. No wonder he took the initiative to take this order. He almost risked my life.
I couldn't help but pout. Ouch, it was so painful. My lower lip was swollen by him.
"Third Master, you were really amazing just now. I had so many injuries on my body. You easily healed them."
"So?"
I had a strange feeling. Gu Yuan seemed to be very disgusted by me calling him Third Master. Every time I called him, his eyebrows would wrinkle.
I coughed gently. I continued to say: "Look, my lips are swollen. Can you help me to heal them?"
Gu Yuan had already guessed my little thoughts. His phoenix eyes were slightly squinted. The corner of his mouth curled up in a bad smile. He leaned close to my ear and said softly: "I used my mouth to suck just now. Do you want to try again?"
As he said that, his mouth opened slightly. He showed his neat and white teeth. He was about to bite my lips.
I suddenly turned my head. This person was unpredictable. What if he wasn't healing my injuries but biting me again?
Gu Yuan saw that I was scared and dodged. He didn't come closer. He stood up and said: "There's nothing I can do. Swell it. Consider it as a punishment for you."
Punishment. What did I do wrong? He wanted to punish me. Did he know that I had just concealed the existence of the dragon scale? I felt suspicious.
I really wanted to ask again. In the end, I still felt that I shouldn't give myself away.
I followed Gu Yuan's footsteps into the restaurant. It was in a mess. The ruins on the ground were all thanks to the person in front of me.
Lihua was lying in the corner at this moment. She had completely lost her breath.
"Can she be saved?" I looked at Gu Yuan sadly.
"The body can't be saved."
"Then didn't you say that you could save her?" I was anxious. I didn't think through my words. As soon as I said them, I regretted them.
"Are you questioning me?" Gu Yuan seemed to be very easy to talk to just now. He suddenly changed his face.
I immediately became cowardly: "No, I was just anxious."
"Xiaolan, don't blame Third Master. I wanted to die wholeheartedly." Just when I was talking to Gu Yuan, a soul walked out of the corner. This was Lihua.
Although she was thinner now, her complexion was much better than when she was alive.
"Lihua, why did you come out during the day?"
"This is an extremely yin place. The sun can't shine in." I looked around. Sure enough, there was no sun.
When she saw Gu Yuan, she quickly stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow.
"Thank you Third Master for saving my life. Lihua has nothing to repay. I hope to leave this remaining soul to repay Third Master for his kindness of rebirth."
I was very confused. After Lihua's simple explanation, I finally understood.
Actually, Gu Yuan already knew that Lihua's soul had left her body when he entered that room.
The words he said in the old house were all to cover his tracks. They were said to Qilian who was hiding in the dark.
Asking me to take Lihua two kilometers away was actually nonsense.
It was to lead out the Black Fairy who was hiding in the dark.
Qilian and the Black Fairy were in cahoots. They used tricks to lead Gu Yuan into the trap.
So Gu Yuan played along with their plan. He made Qilian think that they had succeeded.
Just when Qilian and the Black Fairy were looking for me, Gu Yuan found Lihua's soul that was about to dissipate in the house.
He helped Lihua gather her soul and return to her body. But Lihua chose to give up.
Because the body had endured too much pain. Even if she returned, she would lose the quality of life. She would be better off dead.
However, Lihua's resentment had accumulated. Her soul had also turned into a vengeful spirit. She couldn't be reincarnated. So she wanted to ask Third Master to take her in and become a small smoke spirit in the hall.
Finally, Lihua added that the reason why she asked me to lead them out was because she was afraid that they would fight desperately. They would fight in the old house. By then, it would be too late to save Lihua.
Actually, not long after I left, Gu Yuan had been following me. He never left.
After listening to this, I finally understood. So Gu Yuan knew everything. He just concealed it from me.
Was he afraid that I would leak it out?
"That's not right. You were always there. Why didn't you help me when they locked me and the ghost baby up just now?"
Gu Yuan's indifferent eyes were helpless: "Because you are stupid. You ran away before I finished speaking. My last sentence was to tell you that if there was danger, sing the chant of the shaman assistant."
I was extremely dissatisfied. This person was too cold-blooded. I almost got eaten by that monster.
But I dared not to speak out against him. I still wronged myself and said: "I didn't think of it in a hurry."
"You didn't think of the chant of the shaman assistant. What about the silver bell?"
This was another life-or-death question.
