Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 8 Girl's Heart
"So that's what it is!"
Gu Xiaoxing rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay, okay!"
Hearing this, Da Pang immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Junior brother Gu has been chopping wood all day, so he must be very tired. He must not have eaten yet, right? This small table of food is a reward from our inner kitchen for Junior brother!"
"Then... please thank all the brothers for me."
Gu Xiaoxing appeared modest on the surface, but in fact, he had been envious for a long time. Looking at the three side dishes in front of him, each of them was glowing with vitality, and even the bowl of rice was sparkling with a lustrous luster, which was quite impressive.
Gu Xiaoxing was moved and immediately started to eat with relish. The taste was so wonderful that it was hard to describe and one could only know it after tasting it.
The amount of food was not much, but after enjoying it, Gu Xiaoxing actually felt full. He immediately sat cross-legged and practiced the Soul Control Technique to digest the food. His cultivation level began to slowly improve.
Finally, he felt that he was not far from the second level of Qi Condensation!
In contrast, Gu Xiaoxing immediately understood that these spiritual dishes in the inner kitchen were completely for the improvement of cultivation, while the spiritual fish he ate yesterday was a greater improvement to his physical body!
"Are you satisfied, Junior Brother?" Big Fatty's tone was obviously much more relaxed. No matter how amazing the other party's background was, after eating this meal, they would be tied to the same rope.
"Of course I am satisfied. Don't worry, Senior Brother. If Uncle Bai didn't ask, I wouldn't say anything more. But..."
Gu Xiaoxing said this, and suddenly he coughed dryly, then changed the subject and said, "Uncle Bai is my elder after all, and he has done me a favor. If he asks, I really dare not hide anything! Brother, you see..."
Having said this, Gu Xiaoxing deliberately stopped and looked at Dapang with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, Big Fatty's heart twitched suddenly, thinking that the other party seemed innocent and simple, but in fact he was full of bad intentions. This kind of person was the most difficult to deal with, and he had a backer who was not to be trifled with. A big frown appeared between his brows.
His inner kitchen dared to sell spiritual food, so of course they had a backer. But no matter who it was, no one could be compared with Master Bai. He was the Grand Elder of the Soul Devouring Sect, above ten thousand people except the Sect Master. If Master Bai knew that the inner kitchen was selling dishes privately, the consequences would be...
Finally, Big Fatty gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and whispered: "With Elder Bai's status, why bother him to condescend to take care of such trivial matters in the inner kitchen? Junior Brother Gu, let's do this... If you want to have a feast in the future, our inner kitchen will welcome you at any time, and..."
Da Pang paused, then slowly extended a finger and said, "From now on, I'll give you 10% of the profits from selling dishes!"
Gu Xiaoxing smiled when he heard this, then imitated Dapang and slowly stretched out three fingers...
Looking at Gu Xiaoxing's departing back, the happy atmosphere in the inner kitchen courtyard disappeared no longer. Everyone was depressed, as if a few pounds of fat had been cut from them.
Especially Dapang, who was covering his face with a look of extreme pain.
"Thirty percent! A full thirty percent of profit! How many spirit stones would that be!"
Unlike the others in the inner kitchen, Gu Xiaoxing didn't change much. He came and left happily with a humble smile.
When we returned to Chaiyuan, the sky was gradually getting dark.
When Du Siyu returned riding the wind, he was stunned again.
"How come his cultivation has increased so much? He is almost at the second level of Qi Condensation."
Feeling Du Siyu's surprised gaze, Gu Xiaoxing felt a little proud, but he didn't look at her. After all, she was too "ugly" and there was nothing to see. He took the initiative to go back to the house and locked himself up.
Du Siyu snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention. She raised her head to glance at the full moon in the sky, then sat down cross-legged and began to practice .
That night, everything was silent.
Gu Xiaoxing, who was "deeply sleeping", suddenly opened his eyes, slowly opened the door, and after feeling the faint pink mist floating around the firewood courtyard, he quietly took off the yellow talisman on the door.
"Now... Chai Yuan's surname is Gu!"
When a corner of the sun appeared the next day, Du Siyu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, waking up from her practice. A look of joy appeared on her beautiful face. Her practice had improved a little, and she was closer to the eighth level of Qi Condensation!
Du Siyu has a very special physique. Different from the soul-devouring body, her physique is natural and charming!
This physique allows her to naturally release charm when she is practicing. Not to mention men, even women with lower cultivation than her find it difficult to resist. That's why she chooses to practice in Chaiyuan and doesn't like to be disturbed.
Moreover, the terrifying thing about her naturally charming body is not limited to this. Even if she does not release her charm, those stinky men will look at her with extremely impure eyes, making her seem like she is seducing others, which makes her even more angry.
However, Du Siyu had no other options for her physical condition, so she even changed into men's clothing, but the effect was still not ideal.
"Hmph, they say that those who practice Taoism have a firm heart and will not easily indulge in beauty. They are all lies!" Du Siyu was really fed up with those greedy eyes. If possible, she would rather not have this naturally charming body.
"but……"
Du Siyu's eyes suddenly showed a thoughtful look. She recalled the way Gu Xiaoxing looked at her in the past two days. It seemed that there was no desire at all in it. She even thought it was not an illusion. She could always sense a little bit of...disdain from that look!
That’s right!
I just dislike it!
This made her frown, and after confirming it, she felt inexplicably angry, "Is it because I am not good-looking? Does he think I am ugly?"
Du Siyu was angry, but there was nothing she could do. A girl's heart was like the weather in June, which could change at any time. She was about to shout and drive Gu Xiaoxing out to chop firewood, but before she could open her mouth, the door opened by itself. She felt as if she had seen a ghost.
After not seeing him for one night, Gu Xiaoxing looked different again. He now had fair skin, well-proportioned muscles and a slender body. Except for the strange-looking soul-eating insect between his eyebrows, he looked like a simple, healthy and sunny boy.
It's hard to imagine that he was just skin and bones two days ago...
The second level of Qi Condensation?
Du Siyu calmed down and couldn't believe it.
"Morning, Senior Brother Du!"
Gu Xiaoxing bowed to Du Siyu with a bright and innocent smile on his face.
Du Siyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she snorted coldly and walked away, choosing not to see it and not to be bothered by it.
Gu Xiaoxing blinked his eyes, feeling a little confused. He didn't know what was wrong with her. He was too lazy to pay attention and started his task of chopping wood for the day.
Floating clouds and morning dew, time is fleeting.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye...
Gu Xiaoxing walked out of the room and breathed in the fresh morning air. He felt refreshed. It was another day full of hope!
With a wave of his hand, an axe appeared in his hand, and he was about to start his daily task of chopping wood, only to find that there were only a few logs left in the yard.
At this time, Du Siyu came over. She glanced at Gu Xiaoxing and her heart twitched. It has only been a short time and he has already reached the third level of Qi Condensation. He is probably not far from the fourth level of Qi Condensation. How many cultivation resources did Master Bai leave for him?
"No need to chop wood today. Come with me to the black wood forest." Du Siyu said lightly.
"Black Forest? Where is it? What are you doing there?" Gu Xiaoxing asked three questions in a row.
"Of course we are going to cut wood. It's not far, just five hundred miles east of the sect." Du Siyu rarely responded in a good voice. After spending half a month together, although they didn't like each other, they became more familiar with each other.
"Huh? Are you going to leave the sect?" Gu Xiaoxing paused, as if he recalled something terrible, and stepped back, "No! I won't go... I don't want to leave the sect!"
The next moment, Gu Xiaoxing ran back to his house as if escaping and slammed the door.
Du Siyu frowned, a little surprised. It was just leaving a sect, what was there to be afraid of? But she was not the kind of person who would compromise. She waved her hand and blasted the door open.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing was huddled in the corner, trembling and saying, "Brother Du, good brother! We can discuss other things. You can continue to punish me by making me chop wood. I don't want to leave the sect!"
However, his pleading was of no avail. Du Siyu's delicate hands held him tightly and he could not break free. He was dragged out of the room. With a wave of Du Siyu's hand, a small boat emerged, grew in the wind, and turned into a two-meter-long wooden boat. The man was thrown directly into it.
Du Siyu tiptoed and lightly landed into the wooden boat. With one hand, she made a gesture and the wooden boat flew into the air, carrying the two of them away in an instant, leaving behind only a miserable wailing.
"No! I swore an oath! I will never leave the sect..."
