Chapter 33

Gu Gu Hanyuan tossed the Manggu Manggu Zhuha, along with the corroded Hibiscus Golden Needles, into his storage space.

Seeing the Manggu Manggu Zhuha suddenly disappear, the Lightning Mink crawled all over Gu Gu Hanyuan curiously, as if trying to find it.

Gu Gu Hanyuan caught it, turning it belly-up with its four paws in the air.

The Lightning Mink suddenly began to twist its body excitedly, squeaking wildly.

"Shy, are you? So you’re a 'girl' after all."

Gu Gu Hanyuan said with a smile.

He felt the Lightning Mink’s spiritual nature was far too high.

If this were a Xianxia world, it would likely have been able to take human form by now.

After Gu Gu Hanyuan released the Lightning Mink, it threw a tantrum.

It lay on Gu Gu Hanyuan’s shoulder, turning its head away, as if it didn't want to pay him any mind.

In the end, it was only by using the poisonous centipede that had been pinned to the ground earlier that Gu Gu Hanyuan managed to coax the Lightning Mink.

It kept chattering into Gu Gu Hanyuan’s ear.

It was probably telling him not to hog the Manggu Manggu Zhuha.

Gu Gu Hanyuan picked up the still-unconscious Duan Yu, returned to the top of the cliff, and retraced his steps.

On the way back, he used the divine sense tracker to confirm Mu Mu Wanqing’s location.

As expected, she was at the pool not far from where she had settled Black Rose.

When Gu Gu Hanyuan had treated Black Rose, he had already planned ahead, specifically choosing a place with a pool nearby.

Sure enough, Mu Mu Wanqing had gone there to bathe.

She had been injured in the fight earlier, and her body was covered in blood and dust.

People of the Jianghu could endure it when there were no conditions, but when there were, what girl didn't love being clean?

Zhong Ling also intended to bathe, but she was behind Mu Mu Wanqing.

Mu Mu Wanqing hadn't failed to consider the possibility of Gu Gu Hanyuan returning and bumping into her, which was why she decided to bathe first.

She just hadn't expected Gu Gu Hanyuan to bring back Duan Yu so quickly.

Gu Gu Hanyuan brought the unconscious Duan Yu to the pool where Mu Mu Wanqing was.

Sure enough, he saw Mu Mu Wanqing carefully cleaning her body.

She heard the sound of air being pierced and, before she could hide, heard Gu Gu Hanyuan’s teasing voice.

"Miss Mu, I’ve brought Duan Yu back. No need to thank me too much."

Mu Mu Wanqing screamed and hid in the water.

Looking at Gu Gu Hanyuan, who was carrying the unconscious Duan Yu, she felt only resentment.

"Shameless!"

"I helped you bring your sweetheart back and you still curse me? Truly, one cannot be a good person."

Gu Gu Hanyuan took Duan Yu directly to Zhong Ling.

His goal had been achieved, so there was no need to stay and make himself unwelcome.

He wondered if, in Mu Mu Wanqing’s heart, it was more important who had seen her face first or who had seen her entire body first.

Mu Mu Wanqing had never been so miserable; she couldn't stop her tears.

She had clearly wanted to give her most beautiful self to Duan Yu, but ended up being molested first, and then seen.

And this matter couldn't be brought up in front of Duan Yu, so she had to endure it forcibly.

Of course, if she met Gu Gu Hanyuan alone, she would definitely think about taking his life.

When Mu Mu Wanqing calmed her emotions, she saw that Duan Yu had already woken up and was chatting with Gu Gu Hanyuan and Zhong Ling.

"Mr. Brother Wutian, thank you for saving me twice."

Duan Yu was upright and well-mannered. He was very respectful toward his savior, Gu Gu Hanyuan.

He felt that although he wore a strange mask and seemed terrifying and cold, he was actually a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Duan Yu had originally wanted to call Gu Gu Hanyuan "Brother Brother Wutian," but he had been refused.

In the end, he chose the address "Mr. Brother Wutian."

"Thinking of me as a savior isn't a very good idea."

Gu Gu Hanyuan looked at Duan Yu with deep meaning.

Duan Yu was confused.

"Duan Lang!"

Mu Mu Wanqing called out intimately, but her emotions were overly agitated; in fact, she just wanted to cry out all her grievances.

Duan Yu didn't notice Mu Mu Wanqing’s thoughts, thinking she was only agitated because she was worried about his safety.

Zhong Ling, however, glanced at Gu Gu Hanyuan, subconsciously wondering if he had done something.

Suddenly, four people jumped out and shouted "Young Prince" at Duan Yu.

They were the four great retainers of the Dali royal family, "Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer, and Scholar," ordered to bring Duan Yu back to the Prince of Lin Zhennan’s mansion.

They also expressed their gratitude to Gu Gu Hanyuan for saving Duan Yu and invited him to the Prince of Lin Zhennan’s mansion, but he declined.

"Ling'er, I’ll send you back to Wan Wan Jiegu as well."

Gu Gu Hanyuan had long planned for what followed and didn't intend to keep taking Zhong Ling with him.

Although Zhong Ling was reluctant, she had been away from home for several days, and it was time to report her safety to her parents.

Thus, the group parted ways.

Only, when Mu Mu Wanqing left, she glared resentfully at Gu Gu Hanyuan’s back when no one was looking.

Gu Gu Hanyuan took Zhong Ling to Wan Wan Jiegu.

"Brother Gu, you must miss me after you leave."

As they neared parting, Zhong Ling became even more reluctant.

"Ling'er, you stay home obediently; we’ll be able to see each other again soon."

After casually comforting Zhong Ling, Gu Gu Hanyuan headed toward the Prince of Lin Zhennan’s mansion.

On the way, he tallied the system evaluations he had obtained.

A-rank villain evaluation, 1800 villain points.

This should be for intercepting Duan Yu’s Manggu Manggu Zhuha.

After all, without the Manggu Manggu Zhuha, Duan Yu also lost his body that was immune to all poisons.

Only, because he had eaten the Manggu Manggu Zhuha, even his blood had become poisonous.

He didn't know if it was a loss or a gain.

So the evaluation wasn't very high.

Then, the villain series evaluation for Mu Mu Wanqing was initiated.

Accidentally molested, S-rank evaluation, 2000 villain points.

Secretly watching her bathe, S-rank evaluation, 2500 villain points.

The current series evaluation was S-rank, with a cumulative 4500 villain points, temporarily unavailable for collection.

It was a bit less than he had imagined.

Although Mu Mu Wanqing was resentful, her feelings for Duan Yu hadn't wavered.

If she never saw Gu Gu Hanyuan again, the marriage line would hardly be affected.

Gu Gu Hanyuan spent 4000 villain points to upgrade the "Holy Spirit Sword Art" to the minor completion stage, allowing him to use "Sword Nineteen" through "Sword Twenty-two," all of which were sword qi attacks.

He finally had a stronger long-range attack method.

It just so happened that the "Six Meridian Divine Sword" of Tianlong Temple looked like finger techniques, but in reality, the name was accurate; the finger force emitted was indeed sword qi.

In terms of realm, it was a cut above most Wu Gong in this world, already belonging to the mid-martial level.

He would go and compare it with the world-famous "Six Meridian Divine Sword" when the time came.

Mu Mu Wanqing, who had followed Duan Yu to the Prince of Lin Zhennan’s mansion, would have originally had an intimate encounter with Duan Yu.

But suddenly, worried about what Gu Gu Hanyuan had done to her, she felt guilty and kept some distance from Duan Yu instead.

Gu Gu Hanyuan lurked in the Prince of Lin Zhennan’s mansion, waiting in secret for several hours.

That night, there was first the farce of Duan Duan Zhengchun recognizing his daughter; Mu Mu Wanqing was devastated, feeling that heaven was unfair.

When Qin Qin Hongmian came to pick up Mu Mu Wanqing, it brought out Gan Gan Baobao and Dao Dao Baifeng.

Then, he watched a grand drama between the "sea king" Duan Duan Zhengchun and his several lovers.

Although he circled among the women, he was neither responsible nor did he handle the relationships between them well.

The women were jealous and fighting, leaving Duan Duan Zhengchun with a splitting headache.
