Chapter 567

He looked at the bright, clear full moon with an ethereal gaze,

drinking by himself.

Yet, his eyes were filled with hidden playfulness.

Seeing this, Huang Rong

snatched the "Bitter Dew Immortal Spring" from Gu Hanyuan's hand again.

As if asking him,

and as if talking to herself, she said:

"I saw you drink this last time. Let me taste it and see how it is."

There was still no response.

The stinging pain in Huang Rong's heart grew even heavier.

She tasted a mouthful of "Bitter Dew Immortal Spring,"

and was stimulated by the bitter taste until her eyes filled with tears.

Through tear-blurred eyes, she watched Gu Hanyuan's figure become increasingly blurry,

as if he were about to ride the wind and return at any moment.

She wiped away her tears eagerly with her sleeve

so that he became clear again.

Huang Rong did not notice that she had subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.

She watched Gu Hanyuan take back the "Bitter Dew Immortal Spring" and fill her cup,

and drank it again without moving a muscle,

as if telling Huang Rong

that this bitter taste was just right for him.

A flash of realization passed through Huang Rong's heart.

She no longer asked questions,

and accompanied Gu Hanyuan, drinking wine cup after cup.

Silence spread between the two of them.

Neither of them spoke again.

Until Huang Rong, unable to hold her liquor, fell drunk onto the table.

This time, however, she was not pretending to be drunk.

She only had a shred of consciousness remaining,

watching in a daze as Gu Hanyuan gently picked her up

and sent her back to her guest room.

Looking at the handsome face before her in a blur,

a final shred of expectation flashed through Huang Rong's heart.

However, that familiar kiss did not fall.

Gu Hanyuan merely laid her down carefully,

and quietly left the room.

The sound of the door closing rang out.

Huang Rong suddenly curled up her body, feeling fragile.

Tears slid down,

wetting the pillowcase.

She believed that it was truly the end for them.

After Gu Hanyuan left Huang Rong's room,

a familiar, playful smile curled on the corner of his mouth.

Not washing away the scent of Sheng and the three women had been intentional.

The number of villain points he could farm from Huang Rong was too high;

ordinary strategies were no longer effective.

This toying with Huang Rong's heart

had indeed granted him a large amount of villain points.

He was only one final step away

from completing the series evaluation for Huang Rong.

By then, he would have enough for the exchange of the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon."

Gu Hanyuan did not linger long,

and returned to the side of Sheng and the others.

When conditions allowed,

he would not choose to sleep alone. ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
