This time, I looked directly into his eyes and said with great determination.
Since I had already decided to follow him, I didn't want to have too many ties with the Dragon Scale.
Gu Yuan's lips curled up slightly. He took my right hand, and the bracelet that I couldn't see or touch appeared again.
Gu Yuan placed his hand on the bracelet and slowly slid it down my hand.
"Thank you."
I took the initiative to kiss Gu Yuan on the cheek and showed a bright smile.
Gu Yuan held the bracelet in his hand and motioned for me to take it. I was afraid that once I took it, it would grow back on my hand again.
I didn't reach out for it. Instead, I said to Gu Yuan, "Since I've taken it off, it means I don't want it anymore. You can dispose of it."
Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and glanced at the bracelet. The bracelet gradually disappeared in his palm. Then he pulled my hand, and I spun around and landed directly on his lap.
I don't know why, but whenever I was close to him, I would feel extremely shy, and my heart would beat like crazy, just like the fluttering feeling of first love.
"You can only belong to me," Gu Yuan said with a deep look in his eyes. His words were full of charm.
I didn't answer. Instead, I took the initiative to kiss his lips and then bit down hard.
A coppery sweetness filled my mouth.
Gu Yuan winced in pain and was about to pull away from my lips, but I wrapped my arms around his neck and wouldn't let him escape.
I didn't let him go until I thought I had had enough.
Gu Yuan pursed his injured lips and frowned. Just as he was about to get angry,
"I've drunk a lot of your blood. It means I've already accepted you, and I did it voluntarily."
Gu Yuan bit his lips and was amused by my actions. This time, it was a pure smile, a smile for me.
...
"Third Master, Sister, they've left. You can come out now," He Bi knocked on the door and said.
Gu Yuan took my hand and walked out of the room.
He Bi briefly told us about their conversation just now.
Actually, it was basically the same as what Gu Yuan had said. They needed to find a powerful shaman to help them resolve the feud.
As long as Qin Lan was okay, they didn't care how much it cost.
"Sister, I set the price without asking for your permission," He Bi said.
"How much did you ask for?" I asked curiously.
"One million." Moreover, they had signed a contract. Normally, shamans charged according to the client's appreciation, but this time, He Bi had specifically signed a contract.
I glanced at the contract. He Bi said that the man named Qin Shuai was the disciple of the Half-Immortal Ma and also Qin Lan's elder brother.
Sure enough, they were all in the same boat.
Looking at all the zeros after the one on the contract, I was shocked.
"My goodness, you're asking for so much! You're being so greedy," I said in disbelief.
"This is a willing deal. If he thinks it's too expensive, he can choose not to come to us. I've actually asked for less. Isn't your injury worth one million?"
I didn't know how to respond to what this kid said.
"They've already paid the deposit. It's in this card. It should be 100,000 yuan," He Bi pushed the card in front of me.
I looked at Gu Yuan. He seemed to have no concept of money either. I pushed the card back to He Bi.
"You can keep it. You don't need to give it to me," I said as I ruffled He Bi's hair.
"Okay. I'll give it to you after they've paid in full," He Bi said as he put the card back into the drawer of the table.
"I've said that our celestial beings have gone out. They won't be back for at least ten days. So you don't need to rush over to deal with it. Let that evil woman suffer for a few more days," He Bi said.
When it came to Qin Lan, He Bi was even angrier than I was, the victim.
For several days in a row, they called every day to ask if the celestial beings had returned. It was only when the time was almost up that I went to Qin Lan's house with He Bi.
I didn't know much about Qin Lan before. I only knew that her family was very rich. They weren't a family that had made their fortune through business but rather a nouveau riche family that had made their money from the demolition of houses.
People tend to get arrogant when they suddenly become rich, which was why Qin Lan had developed such an overbearing personality.
However, I had to admit that their house was really a mansion. The community was full of single-family villas.
I followed He Bi inside. When we reached a place that was also a single-family villa, He Bi stopped.
"Are we here?" I asked.
"This is the house of the Half-Immortal Ma. You should have been here when you were a child, but you just don't remember," He Bi said.
The way he said it made it sound like he had seen it himself.
I looked around curiously. The house had a high gate and a large courtyard, and there were quite a few people queuing up outside waiting to see a fortune-teller.
"I have a question. Since Qin Lan's family knows the disciple of the Half-Immortal Ma, why did they come to us this time when they had a problem? Could there be some kind of conspiracy?" I asked.
"The Pool-Taker is very domineering. When dealing with problems, they only know how to eliminate, kill, and destroy. They don't know how to resolve grudges. In the end, the more they kill, the heavier the grudges become, which actually backfires," He Bi explained in great detail.
"This time, it was a fox spirit that was causing trouble for Qin Lan. The Pool-Taker went on a killing spree and killed several fox demons under the fox spirit. But after they killed them, more fox demons would come to the door immediately, and they tormented people even more severely. They had no choice but to think of resolving the problem," He Bi continued.
As we were talking, we had already arrived at Qin Lan's house.
He Bi stepped forward and rang the doorbell. A woman in her fifties opened the door.
After He Bi explained our purpose, she led us into the room.
There was a middle-aged couple sitting in the living room. I guessed they were Qin Lan's parents. Qin Shuai was also sitting beside them.
When we walked over, they seemed a bit incredulous, especially Qin Shuai. He stared at me for a couple of seconds.
"Just you two kids? Can you treat my daughter's illness?" The man who spoke was Qin He, Qin Lan's father.
"Don't look down on my sister just because she's young. The celestial being on her is very powerful," He Bi said confidently.
"Dad, it's her. She must have found the fox spirit to take revenge on us," Qin Shuai stood up suddenly and shouted.
After hearing this, Qin He stood up and said, "What? You're the one who's been tormenting my daughter?"
This was really the pot calling the kettle black. How did I torment his daughter?
"Sir, do you have any evidence to prove that I've been tormenting your daughter?" I asked boldly.
Then I turned to look at Qin Shuai and said, "I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're already playing the victim. Do you still want your sister to get better?"
My words silenced him.
He Bi continued, "So you don't need our help, right? Then we'll leave. The contract states that if you go back on your word, the deposit won't be refunded."
After saying that, He Bi pulled me and walked out without looking back. Even when the maid tried to stop us, we didn't show any intention of turning back.
"Wait. Go up and take a look. We can't turn down money," Qin Lan's mother finally spoke.
Only then did we stop. He Bi turned around and said seriously, "And if we cure your daughter, you must make the siblings publicly apologize to my sister at school."
I never thought that He Bi would become so manly. He was so cool. He really was my good brother.
"Dad, I..." Qin Shuai still wanted to defend himself.
"Shut up!" Qin He raised his hand and slapped Qin Shuai across the face, making his eyes sparkle.
"If it weren't for you, would we have gotten into so much trouble? Where has your master gone when such a big thing happened?" He looked so angry that he seemed to want to eat Qin Shuai alive.
Qin Lan's mother quickly protected Qin Shuai and shouted, "Why are you hitting my son? Doesn't your precious daughter have any responsibility for this? Look at what she's like now. The Qin family's reputation has been ruined."
Looking at this, I thought that this Mrs. Qin might not be Qin Lan's biological mother.
Which biological mother would say that her daughter was a disgrace in front of outsiders?
Qin He glared at his wife and walked up to me. He said, "Go up and take a look. But no matter what you see, you mustn't tell anyone outside. Otherwise, I won't let you off."
His tone became more and more serious, and in the end, it was extremely harsh.
It seemed that Qin Lan's condition was very bad.
The maid led He Bi and me into Qin Lan's room. Even through the door, we could hear the indecent moans inside.
When I opened the door, I was almost stunned.
