Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 19: Debt
Du Siyu raised her eyebrows. At this point, how could she not know that this Junior Brother Gu seemed to be afraid of death at ordinary times, but once threatened, he would dare to fight to the death. She couldn't help but get excited.
Come on, come on! I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time!
Under Du Siyu's expectant gaze, Gu Xiaoxing gritted his teeth, took out something, and said, "During the battle of Blackwood Forest, Senior Brother Du rescued me several times. I have no way to repay you. I will give this beauty pill to you. I hope you will be like a peach in spring and a chrysanthemum in autumn!"
Du Siyu was stunned. She had never expected that the other party would suddenly flatter her like this. It took her a long while before she took the small jade bottle. There was a pill in the bottle. She opened it and took a look. It was indeed a good beauty pill. She couldn't help but frowned, and her eyes flickered when she looked at Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was sweating coldly. Although he didn't know what Du Siyu was thinking, he could easily guess what she wanted to do from the flash of disappointment in her eyes. He was immediately indignant. "Damn it! She really wants revenge. It's not my fault! Let me try you. Is this beauty pill a treasure for beauty or a poison for fat refining?"
Du Siyu's expression was uncertain, staring at Gu Xiaoxing motionlessly, as if she wanted to see through his thoughts. This beauty pill was indeed precious. Although it was far from being comparable to the anti-aging pill that could keep one young forever, it was still a rare item. Its beauty-enhancing effect was quite popular among female cultivators. The value of this item was hard to determine, but for those who loved beauty, it was priceless.
This may be a bit exaggerated, but this pill is extremely difficult to refine. Due to its rarity, even if thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones are produced, people who love beauty will still scramble for it.
This Junior Brother Gu has spent a lot of money!
Du Siyu showed a meaningful smile and said, "Why? Junior brother, are you trying to bribe me?"
Gu Xiaoxing looked sincere, not daring to let Du Siyu see the slightest bit of strangeness, and laughed, "How could that be possible? You and I, brothers, have been through life and death in the Black Wood Forest. If it weren't for Brother Du's repeated rescues, even if I had sacrificed a few more lives, it would have been useless. Now we are friends who have shared hardships, so please accept this mere pill."
What this means is, you saved me, and I also tried my best to save you, so don't burn your bridges after crossing them. Just accept the pills and forget about this matter.
Sure enough, Du Siyu was stunned when she recalled the scene where the other party risked his life to save her, but when she recalled the rude look of him yelling at her, she felt angry again, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
Gu Xiaoxing's eyebrows jumped, thinking that something was wrong, and he quickly took out another storage bag and handed it over, saying, "This is what those thieves left behind. There are magic tools, spirit stones, and a body-refining technique. Please accept them all, Senior Brother!"
Of course, Du Siyu's share of these spoils should belong to her. Gu Xiaoxing had already divided it up, and when he saw that something was not right, he immediately presented it to her.
Du Siyu was stunned, took the storage bag, then raised the corner of her mouth and suddenly smiled.
Seeing the other party smile, Gu Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved. At the same time, Du Siyu's voice came to his ears.
"I appreciate Junior Brother Gu's kindness, but..." At this point, Du Siyu's tone suddenly turned cold, "I just can't swallow this anger!"
Bang! Bang!
Then a shrill scream was heard from the house.
Gu Xiaoxing covered his eyes, and when he let go after a long while, his eyes became red and tears kept flowing. He glared at Du Siyu fiercely.
Du Siyu turned a deaf ear to him. She felt that after throwing the two punches, her mood immediately improved a lot. She immediately walked to the fire, sat down, picked up the grilled fish and started eating it.
"Well, the fish is grilled well!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing became even angrier and wanted to yell, but when he saw Du Siyu looking at him coldly, he stopped immediately. He had to pick up another fish and eat it in a sullen manner, but the resentment in his eyes continued to increase.
After a long time, when the whole fish was eaten, Gu Xiaoxing felt a warmth rising from his body. He immediately sat cross-legged in meditation, and his cultivation began to slowly improve. After a long time, there was a roar in his mind, as if he had achieved some kind of sublimation, and he felt refreshed.
The fourth level of Qi Condensation, here we go!
Du Siyu was stunned and surprised, wondering how long it had been since he entered the sect and he had already reached the fourth level of Qi Condensation. Then he flicked at the fish in his hand that he had not finished eating, and his heart twitched suddenly.
Du Siyu ate slowly, and she naturally felt the feeling of the fish meat turning into energy in her stomach. However, her cultivation was at a high level, so the effect was not great, but her physical body did improve a little.
No wonder!
While continuing to eat the spirit fish, Du Siyu suddenly realized something. When she looked at Gu Xiaoxing, her expression was inexplicable, as if she was recognizing a person again. This kind of look appeared once when she looked at Gu Xiaoxing before.
Gu Xiaoxing opened his eyes and immediately felt a strange pair of eyes staring at him. He felt guilty immediately, but when he thought that the other party had also eaten the fish and would not go and complain, he felt relieved. He didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly, and the more he looked, the more displeased he became.
"She's so thin! She's really ugly. Even if the beauty pill is a poison that turns ointment into fat, I'm afraid it won't be of any use to her!"
It was the first time that Du Siyu was stared at while eating like this. She felt a little strange, especially the vague disdain in the other person's eyes which made her frown slightly. However, she had gotten used to Gu Xiaoxing's look in recent days. In addition, her personality was naturally gentle and peaceful, so she didn't say anything and silently enjoyed this rare spiritual fish.
The spirit fish was very big. Du Siyu's small waist meant she couldn't eat such a big fish. But after all, she was a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Condensation. The fish meat would be quickly refined once it went into her stomach, so she finished the whole grilled fish very quickly.
Du Siyu didn't need to meditate like Gu Xiaoxing to digest it. She slowly stood up and prepared to leave. However, after thinking about it, she reminded him, "Don't do this kind of petty theft in the future. If you are caught, the 49 hours will probably be doubled."
Gu Xiaoxing immediately agreed like a chick pecking at rice, but when he thought of the consequences, he became afraid.
Du Siyu nodded and was about to leave when she heard Gu Xiaoxing's voice again from behind her.
"Brother Du, the beauty pill... aren't you going to take it?"
Du Siyu paused, turned to look at Gu Xiaoxing, and frowned.
Gu Xiaoxing blinked his eyes. He was really curious about the effect . Seeing that Du Siyu was about to leave, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
Du Siyu looked at Gu Xiaoxing coldly, wondering what he meant by this, but she couldn't figure it out. She actually disdained the beauty pill. With her appearance, the pill was like a chicken rib, and it could be said that it had no effect. She was born with a charming body, which was not just talk. If it weren't for her gentle personality, it would almost go against her body. She was born with a charming body, and the ultimate state could charm everyone.
"Could it be that he really thinks I'm ugly?"
Even Du Siyu herself thought this idea was absurd. She was furious in an instant, and she didn't even know why she was angry. In short, she was very angry, so angry that she felt a little wronged. She suddenly threw the beauty pill into her mouth, glared at Gu Xiaoxing, and said in a cold voice: "Just wait for me!"
Gu Xiaoxing was shocked. She didn't expect that her words would cause such a big reaction. But when she thought about it, it made sense. Asking her to take the beauty pill was like saying that she was ugly. In fact, she just wanted to see the effect of the beauty pill, but she didn't expect her to misunderstand.
This made Gu Xiaoxing feel a little guilty. Thinking about how he had also felt inferior because he had become too ugly, and even began to dislike himself, he immediately felt a sense of sympathy and for a moment understood Du Siyu a little.
"Hey! You're ugly, but it's not your fault!"
Of course, Gu Xiaoxing didn't dare to say this out loud. He just watched Du Siyu walk out of the room with sympathy, but then stopped inexplicably and said another sentence with his back to her.
"I... don't owe you anything!"
Looking at Du Siyu's departing back, Gu Xiaoxing naturally knew what she meant by "owing nothing", and could not help but sigh. Life and death, owing or not owing, these things were too heavy. He did not want to think deeply about them. He just wanted to live a simple life and then achieve the simple dream in his heart.
I slowly closed the door, but I felt uncomfortable, as if some thoughts could not come through. I couldn't help but sigh again. I still couldn't get over that hurdle!
I saved her more to save myself, but she was truly risking her life to save others!
"Forget it, I owe you this..."
At dawn, when Gu Xiaoxing woke up from his practice and walked out of the room to chop firewood, he was suddenly stunned.
Du Siyu also walked out of the room slowly, her long hair was no longer tied behind her, her three thousand blue hair was like the upside-down Styx, so deep that it seemed to be able to captivate people, her white long skirt fluttered lightly, as she walked it seemed to touch people's hearts, her slender waist was like a willow branch, her pink face was like peach petals, especially her charming peach blossom eyes, which were like the scorching sun in the sky, dazzling and yet hazy and drunken.
Even Gu Xiaoxing, who always scoffed at talk about appearance, couldn't help but be stunned.
Du Siyu glanced at Gu Xiaoxing, and seemed very satisfied with his expression. The corners of her mouth could not help but slightly raised, and she said lightly: "Follow me to the sect mountain."
It seemed that Du Siyu was no longer dressed in men's clothes and had returned to women's clothing.
Along the way, when Gu Xiaoxing felt the countless obsessed and even crazy gazes around him, heard the praises as if he was the only one in the world, and heard Du Siyu's smug look at him intentionally or unintentionally, he felt that last night's sympathy was wasted.
beautiful as godness?
That's it?
It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world and the most absurd thing in history.
