Chapter 77: Why is Long Xi in his room?

Gu Jiangming's entire head felt muddled and heavy.

To him, this world was essentially very unfamiliar.

Especially after learning that this world was not as safe as he had imagined, a heavy pressure settled upon him.

An unfamiliar world, an unfamiliar place.

He was like a lost child, no longer able to find his way, and for the first time in so many days, Gu Jiangming had slept soundly.

There was an indescribable sense of security.

Gu Jiangming turned over, continuing to enjoy the peace of waking up naturally, but the moment he turned his head, he felt his face bump into something soft.

And.

It smelled fragrant.

There was a faint, delicate scent; it was quite comfortable to smell while asleep.

Gu Jiangming subconsciously wanted to nuzzle against it, but then felt something was not quite right, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

For the past few days, ever since Gu Jiangming learned that the 【Mie Changsheng】 Reincarnation was of this world, and learned that 【Mie Changsheng】 could grant him the ability to reverse time to obtain vast amounts of information like a prophet, and even leave behind a legacy for himself.

He had not slept a single good night.

Because Gu Jiangming only had 【Mie Changsheng】 as his sole cheat.

It had become Gu Jiangming's only foundation for survival here.

After all, in such a dangerous world, if things went wrong, he might die on the spot the next day and become a part of a strange tale.

High-intensity 【Seeking Death】 might still offer a path to survival, but not trying at all was just slow death; it could only be described as waiting to die.

And this Reincarnation Simulation had undoubtedly become Gu Jiangming's daily routine.

But while Gu Jiangming was still muzzily trying to orient himself, he felt he was being pressed down by something, completely unable to get up.

"Haa—hoo—"

Gu Jiangming woke up instantly; what existential reflection, what self-definition, what 【Mie Changsheng】.

Is there anything more terrifying than suddenly having an extra person in my quilt?

This is a world with demons, monsters, and ghosts!

And, why is there an extra person inside my quilt?

Gu Jiangming broke out in a cold sweat; he saw Long Xi hugging his other arm, her fair, rounded long legs draped over him without any concealment, and she was sleeping with a serene and comfortable expression, breathing softly.

Oh my god—

So this sense of security was brought by you?

It is well known that when two people sleep together, they can sleep more soundly and securely, and it effectively increases the bond between them.

But the problem is.

The one sleeping with Gu Jiangming is a dragon!

And how could she appear in his quilt?

Didn't he send her to the room next door last night?

What kind of plot twist is this today?

【Long Xi is lying peacefully by your bedside; she slept in her clothes last night, and the thigh draped over you is not only smooth but seems to have a nice texture. At this moment, her lowered hair bun, combined with her calm breathing, makes her look quiet and cute. It is hard to imagine that a woman with such a charming appearance could have such contrasting cuteness.】

【You feel that if she continues to sleep like this, she might catch a cold. In your thoughts, you cannot help but want to cover her with a quilt, but then you think, as a creature like her, how could she be afraid of the cold?】

【Your peripheral vision sweeps over.】

【So big—】

Big your sister.

Gu Jiangming hadn't actually looked at all, but 【Mie Changsheng】 was inexplicably slandering his reputation here with malice.

Why don't you just die?

Thinking of this, Gu Jiangming's peripheral vision took a glance.

So big.

And

Does 【Mie Changsheng】 not only simulate the past, but also seem to be able to deduce the present?

Gu Jiangming paid attention, only to find that 【Mie Changsheng】 could not continue to deduce forward; it was just recording the current situation in real-time.

Then you are of no use at all!

【Bang, bang, bang—】

【Xu Qingyun is knocking on the door, wanting to ask if you need a Medicine Bath to regulate your body and conduct initial Body Refining practice.】

A piece of information popped up in Gu Jiangming's mind again.

Within a few breaths, Xu Qingyun indeed began to knock on the door, "Master... do you need me to find some things for you to regulate your body?"

Following that light knocking sound, Gu Jiangming's heart skipped a beat; he had a very, very ominous premonition.

It's ruined.

Now I can't even wash myself clean if I jump into the Yellow River.

Gu Jiangming's lying body immediately sat up; he turned to the side to get up, not wanting to wake the Dragon Princess sleeping beside him.

But just as he prepared to get up, Long Xi was awakened by Gu Jiangming's movement, and in a half-asleep, muddled state, she called out, "Pan Yu, what are you doing?"

Xu Qingyun's voice outside the door clearly stiffened, "Master, did I disturb you?"

Gu Jiangming knelt on the bed, clutching his head with both hands.

It's over, it's all over...

There is simply no way to explain this!!!

How am I supposed to answer this question?

If he answered that he had been disturbed, wouldn't his relationship with Long Xi be completely misunderstood and confirmed?

If he answered that he hadn't been disturbed, there was no way to explain why Long Xi was lying on his bed, and it would basically be confirmed anyway.

He was completely dead.

Hahahahaha—

And there was simply no way to explain to Xu Qingyun that his relationship with Long Xi was not what he imagined.

Because they were already lying on the same bed.

Given the Morality and values of people in this era, if he tried to make excuses and said Long Xi had nothing to do with him...

He would be reviled by everyone, right?

Gu Jiangming, who had never experienced what social death was, truly realized what it meant.

"Sleeping with you is so comfortable." Long Xi was also nearly awake; she felt warm all over, and after this night, the Spirit Qi in her body had actually been stored.

Although it was still used up quickly and would be gone once exhausted, if she found Gu Jiangming again, wouldn't there be a continuous supply of Spirit Qi to use?

Xu Qingyun, through his ability to discern location by sound, had already heard this sentence from behind several walls; even for someone with his level of cultivation, it was truly hard to bear.

No, why were the wives his master sought in both lifetimes so unconventional and so strange?

Women are a burden.

They only hinder my Dao heart in slaying demons and eliminating devils.

In his previous life, his master was led astray by a demoness; in this life, he didn't know if he could overcome such a tribulation.

Xu Qingyun vaguely felt that perhaps it wasn't necessarily his master who had the problem; perhaps it was simply a tribulation his master was destined to face in his fate.

Many people have similar life tribulations, death tribulations, or even various other kinds of calamities; he feared his master could not escape this love tribulation.

Actually, Xu Qingyun felt that a love tribulation was relatively easy to break; as long as one reduced contact, one would not be infected by this tribulation.

Xu Qingyun took a deep breath; he decided not to delay his master.

He left from outside the room.

Xu Qingyun thought again; actually, he didn't need to ask his master about these trifles; for this kind of Medicine Bath, he should learn to prepare the things himself.

Back when he was doing Body Refining, it was also his master who went everywhere to find him these high-quality medicinal herbs with some age to help him with Foundation Establishment.

Hadn't his master also never asked for his opinion?

It was mainly because he was used to Gu Jiangming making decisions for him; now that he had encountered his master's reincarnation, Xu Qingyun couldn't help but want Gu Jiangming to make this decision.

He paused at the doorway for a moment.

In this life, it wouldn't be a bad thing for his master to have a few more children; after all, there is a saying called Many Children Many Blessings.

He had to think about what medicinal herbs could be added to nourish the body.

And with offspring, that master's wife of his, whose actions were hard to fathom, should no longer pester his master.

It would also provide a way to give an account to the White Tiger.

One could not forcibly snatch a married man.

Inside the room, Long Xi was still enthusiastically telling Gu Jiangming about her new discovery, "Look at the Spirit Qi on my body."

"My body hasn't had such abundant Spirit Qi for a long time."

"If the Spirit Qi is used up, I might have to fall into a deep sleep again."

"I don't know why, but this kind of Spirit Qi keeps overflowing from your body." Long Xi's eyes were bright and spirited as she continued to talk about this strange phenomenon.

Gu Jiangming was in despair.

Don't say such misleading things so solemnly just now.

Oh.

She was always very solemn; she just never thought that such words could cause such a huge misunderstanding!

Now all paths of retreat were completely blocked, leaving Gu Jiangming no room for any explanation; he could even directly give up on appealing and wait for the court to publicly declare him guilty.

Tired.

Tried his best.

Really no way.

【Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Period through a night of bitter cultivation.】

Bitter cultivation.

Have you ever seen any kind of bitter cultivation that involves cultivating one's stress resistance and temperament?

Never heard of it.

Gu Jiangming revealed a smile more heartbreaking than crying, "Your Highness Long Xi, can you explain to me why you came to my room?"

"Ah?" Long Xi stretched out her finger, pointing at her chin and said, "I was attracted by the Spirit Qi; sleeping next to you has Spirit Qi, and if I don't have Spirit Qi, I might fall asleep again."

"And then... and then I came."

"And I'm a little afraid that you'll leave me here."

Long Xi suddenly thought of her father who had disappeared and her sisters; now the only person she knew was Gu Jiangming.

Even here, the only person who seemed to recognize her was Gu Jiangming.

"I... did I do something wrong?" Long Xi suddenly lowered her head and said.

Gu Jiangming got up, casually put on that set of cumbersome ancient-style robes, and tied up his hair; because he was too lazy to go out for haircuts and due to his work hobbies, he kept his hair very, very long.

Having transmigrated, that hairstyle, which should have been called messy hair, instead blended into the local customs and didn't seem so strange.

"Let's go." Gu Jiangming could only 'dotingly' reach out his hand, "Come with me to the yamen; I still have to earn some money for food from County Assistant Li."

Calling it doting, it was more of helplessness.

Because after thinking about it, Gu Jiangming felt that he shouldn't blame the other party; things like common sense were experiences accumulated over time.

In Long Xi's mind, she never thought these things were wrong, and she said what she wanted to say.

More importantly, Her Highness Long Xi possesses the attitude of being able to realize her own mistakes.

Just this point alone was enough for Gu Jiangming's anger to dissipate, and besides, this kind of thing wasn't worth getting angry over in the first place; it was more of a feeling of amusement.

"Hm?" Long Xi suddenly looked at the hand Gu Jiangming had extended and reached out to poke it.

"Didn't you say you were afraid I would leave you here?" Gu Jiangming said with annoyance, "Then come with me, but when I'm working, I'm afraid you'll only be able to watch from the side."

"Okay—" Long Xi nodded repeatedly, feeling that she was valued by Gu Jiangming, and then she spread her arms and pounced over, hugging Gu Jiangming directly.

"I told you to hold my hand, not to hug me." Gu Jiangming gently patted Long Xi's head.

Come to think of it, she really is quite tall.

Gu Jiangming's height is 1.79 meters, which can be rounded up to 1.8 meters, yet Long Xi's figure is still a bit taller than Gu Jiangming.

But who could have imagined that Long Xi, who possesses perfect proportions, is actually a pure-as-paper, airheaded beauty.

So,

Am I taking advantage, or am I being taken advantage of?

Under the large tree beside the outer wall of the residence.

White Tiger decided to set off and return to Guanzhong; the memories in his mind had already been preserved, and when the time came, he could use the Soul Condensation Art to deliver them to that madwoman.

This could also be considered bringing this matter to a close.

In this way, having found the reincarnation of Gu Jiangming, he would finally be able to break the shackles of the Hundred Demon Manual and regain his freedom.

Is the freedom he has been separated from for hundreds of years finally coming back?

From now on, no one will ever be able to boss this master around again.

White Tiger couldn't help but start imagining his bright future.

As a demon, having no freedom is in itself a disgrace.

"Thank you, Old Man Xu."

"After all these years, you've finally done something human."

Long Xi.
