Chapter 1316

When He Tieshou was young, her palm had been severed by her father, the Five Poisons Sect Master, and an iron hook had been fitted to her wrist.

Yet at this moment, she felt a painful tightness where the iron hook connected.

She hurriedly removed the iron hook she was wearing.

Immediately, she saw a left hand as white and smooth as fat, completely intact.

Her slender, beautiful fingers moved nimbly.

He Tieshou, much like He Hongyao before her,

choked with tears in her beautiful eyes:

"My hand has grown back?"

Deep down, she had always felt inferior about her lost left hand.

Although it was for the sake of better utilizing the martial arts of the Five Poisons Sect,

for a woman who loved beauty, such a defect was all the more regrettable.

Especially when facing Gu Hanyuan, she would always subconsciously hide the iron hook on her left hand behind her back.

Those were all manifestations of her inferiority.

Gu Hanyuan was very satisfied with the effect of the Limb-Regenerating Bone-Mending Pill, which cost 2000 villain points.

He Tieshou was no mere vase.

This price was completely worth it.

Moreover, he did not wish for his women to have any defects.

That would affect his mood.

He Hongyao had long since recovered from her shy emotions.

She realized the truth when she saw the interaction between He Tieshou and Gu Hanyuan.

Her niece definitely liked the man before her.

The beautiful eyes that shone brightly when she spoke already explained everything.

This made He Hongyao's feelings somewhat complex.

There was a kind of indescribable, dull feeling.

Immediately afterward, she witnessed another miracle brought by Gu Hanyuan.

And it was the regeneration of a severed limb, which was even more miraculous than restoring one's appearance.

While feeling happy for He Tieshou,

as she looked at the gently smiling Gu Hanyuan once more,

she silently sighed in her heart:

"Young Master Gu is indeed extraordinary; perhaps he is the only one in the whole world."

On this side, He Hongyao's thoughts became increasingly complex and difficult to fathom.

On the other side, He Tieshou wiped the tears from her face.

She revealed a heartfelt smile and said:

"Young Master Gu doesn't like to see me shed tears, right? I have already wiped them away."

Gu Hanyuan smiled and sighed lightly:

"What a pity."

Although Gu Hanyuan did not specify what was a pity,

He Tieshou had already understood.

A shy blush could not help but rise on her pretty face.

He Hongyao blushed in exactly the same way.

After all, she had been the first to have her face caressed by Gu Hanyuan.

Before, she could have used the excuse that he was helping her wipe away tear stains.

But now, it was almost an explicit admission that the real reason was simply that he wanted to touch her.

This caused the shyness that He Hongyao had finally managed to suppress to emerge once again.

He Tieshou's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

Her expression suddenly became firm.

"Young Master Gu, thank you."

Saying this, she leaned forward and pecked Gu Hanyuan on the side of his face.

She said with a charming laugh:

"This is a token of gratitude."

Gu Hanyuan felt slightly surprised.

Immediately afterward, he smiled playfully:

"Such a token of gratitude is not quite enough."

He took the initiative to step forward and embrace the flustered He Tieshou.

He Tieshou looked at the handsome face drawing closer and closer.

She could never find the words to refuse.

The next moment, her beautiful eyes widened.

Immediately afterward, they turned hazy, and she responded in a daze.

When Gu Hanyuan let her go, she was completely bewildered.

She only subconsciously smacked her lips.

He Hongyao, standing to the side, was filled with astonishment, but even more so with envy.

She recalled the memories of her time with Xia Xueyi.

She was stunned to discover that there had never been such a sweet moment.

Once again confirming the fact that Xia Xueyi had never loved her,

He Hongyao's heart was filled with a sense of loss.

However, before she could let her sense of loss turn into heartache,

Gu Hanyuan's teasing voice reached her ears again.

"Shouldn't Miss He also make up for her token of gratitude?"

He Hongyao was greatly alarmed upon hearing this.

She said with a beautiful, flushed face:

"I cannot."

Yet that beet-red pretty face seemed to faintly suggest that her words were insincere.

By this time, He Tieshou, who had snapped back to reality, knew Gu Hanyuan's intentions.

Although she felt somewhat ashamed,

she felt even more joy.

There was nothing more delightful than the person one liked also liking oneself back.

He Tieshou, whose heart and eyes were now filled with Gu Hanyuan's figure, wanted to please him even more.

With a flicker of her beautiful eyes, she walked behind He Hongyao and gave her a gentle push, sending her into Gu Hanyuan's arms.

She said with a beaming smile:

"Aunt, you must know how to repay kindness."

He Hongyao felt the hot, large hand on her waist.

She silently closed her eyes.

She whispered in her heart:

"Xueyi, I am sorry. This is only to repay a debt of gratitude."
