Chapter 929

He said with apprehension:

"Gu Hanyuan!"

Huo Qingtong was startled by the name shouted by Fu Kangan.

She actually recovered a bit of her senses.

The hot, large hand on her waist made her delicate body tremble slightly.

She struggled to lift her head.

She saw that flawless, handsome face.

It was not a sense of beauty characterized by weakness.

But rather a heroic spirit filled with masculine vigor.

Huo Qingtong looked at Gu Hanyuan's rounded, prominent Adam's apple.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

Previously, during the marriage proposal in Xixia,

she had also secretly admired Gu Hanyuan.

That dashing and handsome appearance,

his formidable Wu Gong,

and his graceful temperament

had actually all struck a chord with her preferences.

It was only because Huo Qingtong bore the heavy responsibility of her tribe that she could not attend to personal romantic feelings,

which was why she had suppressed her favorable impression of Gu Hanyuan.

Even Gu Hanyuan had been deceived by her on this point,

thinking that Huo Qingtong was not interested in him.

But at that time, Huo Qingtong was merely appreciating something beautiful.

Now, however, she felt that Gu Hanyuan was filled with charm.

She wanted to be close to him.

She wanted to embrace him.

Her body, which clearly had no strength originally,

actually recovered a bit at this moment.

Subconsciously, she lifted her head and kissed Gu Hanyuan's Adam's apple,

leaving a small stain.

Her action caused the scene, which had been somewhat restless due to Gu Hanyuan's arrival, to fall silent.

Fu Kangan's face had turned completely black.

Although the situation was not yet clear at this moment,

looking at the scene before him,

he felt a sense of frustration at having exhausted his schemes only to have the fruit plucked by someone else.

Huo Qingtong also realized her own behavior just now, which could be called wanton.

Her beautiful cheeks were so flushed with shame they felt almost cooked.

At a loss, she stammered:

"Young Master Gu... I, that..."

In her heart, she was vaguely worried that Gu Hanyuan would look down on her because of this.

However, to her surprise,

Gu Hanyuan not only did not mind Huo Qingtong's impoliteness,

but instead comforted her in a gentle voice:

"Miss Huo, no need to explain; I understand. Once I have dealt with these people before us, I will detoxify you."

Listening to Gu Hanyuan's understanding comfort,

warmth flowed through her heart.

But the second half of Gu Hanyuan's words made her somewhat conflicted again.

After all, there was only one way to undo the poison she had been given.

Huo Qingtong had led her tribesmen to repel the invasions of Mongol Yuan and the Qing Guo several times;

she was a true heroine.

Therefore, her pride was extremely high,

and she was unwilling to lose her purity in such an unclear manner.

If it were a normal relationship that developed naturally,

she would not be averse to the partner being Gu Hanyuan.

But this situation, where she lost her body in a muddle because she had been drugged, was hard for her to accept.

As her wild thoughts multiplied,

the effects of the drug surged up again.

Her consciousness gradually began to blur.

Seeing this, Gu Hanyuan knew he could not delay any longer,

otherwise, if Huo Qingtong's brain were burned out, the loss would outweigh the gain.

At this moment, Yu Zhenzi was whispering in Fu Kangan's ear:

"Prince, why don't we just forget it?"

Although Yu Zhenzi was rotten to the core,

he possessed extreme self-awareness.

Otherwise, he would not have resolutely betrayed the Iron Sword Gate

after seeing that his Wu Gong could not break through to a higher realm,

turning instead to rely on Prince Bao to seek wealth and status.

Even the object he chose to rely on had been carefully considered.

As a traitor, Yu Zhenzi naturally could not rely on the Central Plains nations influenced by Confucianism.

Relying on Mongol Yuan,

it would be difficult for him to be valued given his Wu Gong realm.

The most suitable choice was the Qing Guo, whose Jianghu strength was relatively weak.

Before Kangxi had dealt with Oboi, the future was unclear,

so Prince Bao was his best choice.

Previously, Yu Zhenzi might have underestimated Gu Hanyuan,

but ever since he saw Gu Hanyuan kill Yan Huifeng with a single sword strike,

he had raised his caution to the highest level in his heart,

even secretly hoping that Gu Hanyuan had not noticed his gaze lingering on Li Qingluo and the other woman,

so as to avoid being held accountable by Gu Hanyuan later.

Therefore, upon seeing Gu Hanyuan appear,

Yu Zhenzi had already begun to retreat,

desperately trying to dissuade Fu Kangan.

But Fu Kangan, looking at the delicate and beautiful Huo Qingtong in Gu Hanyuan's arms,

had his head muddled by lust,

and said with extreme unwillingness:

"But Huo Qingtong..."

Hearing this, Yu Zhenzi was quite speechless.

He also lusted after women,

but he had never placed female beauty on the same level as his own life. ===== CHAPTER 931 =====

He also has a weakness for women.

But he has never placed women on the same level as his own life.
