Chapter 1652

"I am, of course, also 'very smart' and can help you do many things."

Gu Hanyuan smiled subtly:

"Interesting."

Lin Xian'er felt a surge of joy upon seeing Gu Hanyuan's smile.

Enduring the strange feeling of being toyed with.

She said with implication:

"Besides that, I naturally have other benefits..."

Her voice suddenly became very low and seductive, and she smiled bewitchingly:

"As long as you are a man, you will soon know that what I say is not false. As long as you are willing, these benefits of mine will all be yours."

"What you say is indeed not bad, but do you think I have few confidantes? And I do not trust you."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were deep, and his tone grew colder.

The hand that was being restrained added a bit of force, causing Lin Xian'er to want to cry out in pain.

However, her cry was stifled before it could be heard; her elegant neck was choked once more.

After all, a person has two hands; restraining just one was not enough.

Lin Xian'er felt the killing intent and the urgency on her neck, finding it hard to believe that Gu Hanyuan actually wanted to kill her.

In the face of life and death, the best beauty is but a skin and a skeleton of pink powder.

"Young... Young Master Gu... spare..."

Lin Xian'er spat out a few unclear words with great difficulty.

Yet, that large hand seemed to have a trend of tightening further.

However, just then, a flash of inspiration struck her.

Gu Hanyuan's other hand had not been withdrawn and was still feeling her beauty.

In her urgency, Lin Xian'er could not care about grabbing the arm choking her neck.

She moved her hands forward, finding the important thing she had been trying to obtain all along.

Ignoring the surprise at the measurement that defied common sense, she tried hard to make her slender jade fingers more dexterous.

Lin Xian'er did not know if doing this would be useful, but at this moment, she could only treat a dead horse as a living one.

However, to her ecstatic joy, doing this indeed caused the urgency on her neck to loosen.

Encouraged, Lin Xian'er became even more diligent.

Gu Hanyuan's gaze flashed, and he slowly released her.

Lin Xian'er could finally breathe fresh air; having survived, she suddenly felt immense fear towards Gu Hanyuan.

A person only understands how much they fear death when they truly face it.

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"In view of your efforts, I can give you a chance."

He appeared moved by Lin Xian'er's will to survive.

He took two pills from his bosom and handed them to Lin Xian'er, saying:

"Choose one to swallow."

Lin Xian'er finally caught her breath and asked fearfully:

"What is this?"

"'Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill' and 'Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill'."

Hearing Gu Hanyuan explain the effects of the two poisons, Lin Xian'er swallowed the "Three-Corpse Brain-Spirit Pill" without hesitation.

After all, for her, beauty was everything; even in death, she had to maintain it.

The "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill," which would make one's appearance ugly, frightened her even more.

Gu Hanyuan said with dark eyes:

"I do not want useless women; your beautiful skin cannot protect you. The matter of the Plum Blossom Thief can continue."

Lin Xian'er's face looked somewhat ugly, but she resigned herself to her fate.

After all, with her life completely in someone else's hands, she had no room to resist.

She asked with surprise upon hearing this:

"Does Young Master Gu also want to deal with Li Xunhuan?"

"Do you think I would care about him?"

Lin Xian'er's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and she asked deeply:

"Could it be Lin Shiyin?"

Gu Hanyuan praised:

"Indeed smart."

"It's Lin Shiyin again..."

Listening to Lin Xian'er's whisper, Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

Lin Xian'er's expression jolted, and she shrank back, saying:

"I dare not."

Gu Hanyuan said with an inexplicable tone:

"Then you know what to do, right?"

Lin Xian'er suddenly had an inspiration and blurted out:

"Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun..."

Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction and praised:

"I am beginning to believe you will be of some use."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan's smile, Lin Xian'er felt a strange sense of being moved for some reason.

Forcing down the complex emotions in her heart, she replied earnestly:

"Young Master Gu, rest assured, I will do it well."

Gu Hanyuan nodded slightly and suddenly said playfully:

"What should you call me?"

Lin Xian'er's delicate body trembled slightly, and she bit her cherry lips, saying astringently:

"Master..."

As the words left her mouth, she felt a sense of intense shame while also experiencing an indescribable stimulation.

It seemed there was hardly any resistance in her heart.

She was being conquered from within.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan smiled pleasantly.

He reached out to stroke Lin Xian'er's head and said softly:

"Very good. Now, continue what you wanted to do just now. Prove your loyalty to me." ===== CHAPTER 1654 =====
