The next day, the weather was bright and sunny. Gu Fuyou had originally planned to go to the Cloud Grand Canyon to meet the spirit beast that had troubled Wantong City, but because he had summoned Zhong Michu, he was in a rush and delayed the day.
Mr. Zhai thought that Gu Fuyou would forget, so he came to remind her early in the morning. If she delayed for too long, the spirit beast might be taken away by others, and she would miss the opportunity to contact Zuo Shaode. When she walked to Gu Fuyou's house, she saw that the door was open and no one was inside. When she turned around, she saw that Zhong Michu's door was also open. She walked over and half-bent over to look inside the door.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Fuyou sat on the bed, with a white thing on his legs. Mr. Zhai frowned and took a closer look. It turned out to be a tail. Zhong Michu, who was sleeping on the bed, leaned against Gu Fuyou, curled up on his side, holding Gu Fuyou's wrist in his hand, and gently resting his forehead on it. The white tail stretched out from the quilt and rested on Gu Fuyou's legs. He slept soundly and in a well-behaved posture.
Gu Fuyou put his index finger to his lips to remind Mr. Zhai. Mr. Zhai understood and covered his mouth with his folding fan. But Zhong Michu was awakened by the noise and she stood up.
Gu Fuyou asked, "Did you sleep well?"
Zhong Michu looked at her with an unfocused gaze. She had just woken up from a long dream. Gu Fuyou was sitting beside her bed and greeted her. She was a little dazed for a moment, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "I haven't felt this good in a long time."
Gu Fuyou's heart softened and he smiled, "If you want, I can sing a lullaby for you every night. I hope you can sleep well like this every night."
Zhong Michu gradually sobered up, and when he looked at one place, his amber eyes became much brighter: "Is it true?"
Gu Fuyou felt looked down upon when she asked him this, and said firmly, "Why would I lie to you about this?"
She was so sure. Zhong Michu lowered his eyes and did not respond to her words. The dragon horns and tail on his forehead turned into clouds and dissipated. After a while, he said, "Mr. Zhai has something to ask you. Go ahead."
Gu Fuyou glanced at her. Zhong Michu said, "I'm going to get up."
Gu Fuyou and Mr. Zhai went out. Zhong Michu sat on the bed, her eyes gradually blurred, she covered her eyes with her hands and sighed out with a trembling voice.
When Zhong Michu packed up and went out, Gu Fuyou and Mr. Zhai were talking under the ginkgo tree in the yard. They planned to go to the Cloud Canyon today and stay in Wantong City temporarily to meet the city lord. Qingluan's identity was very useful. She was treated with courtesy by Zuo Yuezhi. If she caught the spirit beast, she would be received by Zuo Shaode. The people of the Zuo family would be teased. Who would have thought that under this skin was the wronged soul that they had killed.
The ear-covering bell fell on Gu Fuyou's shoulder. After recognizing its master, this magic weapon became extremely attached to her. Zhong Michu lowered her head to look at the storage bag on her waist, gently stroked the word "Man" on it with her fingers, took it off, walked over, and called out, "A Man."
Gu Fuyou turned around and looked at her: "Senior Sister Zhong."
Zhong Michu handed the storage bag to her. Gu Fuyou did not take it, but just looked at her. Zhong Michu said, "You came to me that night in Lihentian, you wanted to take it."
Gu Fuyou was exposed by her. Thinking of what happened that night, he could not help but feel embarrassed about being caught doing something bad, so he just smiled. Zhong Michu said, "Take it. I was just keeping it for you."
Gu Fuyou should have thanked him, but such words seemed superfluous at this moment. She felt that Zhong Michu would not like it, so she just took it in silence. She opened the storage bag, and the things inside were neatly arranged. It must have been arranged by Zhong Michu, unlike her, who always threw a talisman here and a bottle of pill there.
Gu Fuyou was looking for the sword embryo: "I met the old senior Qingluan in Xianluo. Senior sister, do you still remember the one who healed you?"
Zhong Michu's eyes flickered slightly, and he responded calmly. Gu Fuyou smiled and said, "That senior's name is Qing Man. She has the other half of "Qi Men" and has a lot of insights into battle formations. She taught me a lot and gave me the other half of "Qi Men". Now it's a complete book. If all the materials are complete, I am 100% sure that I can make this sword."
Gu Fuyou just pulled out the sword embryo. The black Yin-Yang Jade glowed darkly under the sun. He said, "You haven't refined it yet."
Zhong Michu said: "I am not good at this."
Gu Fuyou said: "Okay."
Gu Fuyou stretched out his hand and stroked the sword from the guard to the tail, then turned his hand and put the sword against his neck, making a gesture of suicide. Although the sword embryo had no blade, Zhong Michu still said in a serious tone: "A Man."
Gu Fuyou smiled, that smile was full of hostility, and the red at the corners of his eyes seemed like a fire of hatred burning out: "This sword has no name yet. I will give it to you today."
Every spiritual sword must be famous.
"I will call you - Drinking Regret."
Gu Fuyou held up the sword, his eyes full of coldness: "The souls killed by your sword should all die with hatred in their hearts." Just like me, they died without peace.
Zhong Michu looked at her, her expression became sad. She would always remember Gu Fuyou's dream. She remembered that when Gu Fuyou talked to her about the sword, his cheeks flushed with excitement, his blood burning. That was the love of Gu Fuyou's life, and he felt her. She couldn't remember her face, but those burning eyes were engraved in her heart, like the morning sun, and she would never forget them.
Now Gu Fuyou has profound cultivation and outstanding talent. She has everything she once desired, but she is not necessarily happy. The sword that was forged into a sword has become a tool for her revenge. The sun sets in the west, and the world is cold and gloomy. When Gu Fuyou was with her, it seemed the same as in her memory, but when she touched the Zuo family, she became different.
She knew it well and felt heartbroken.
Gu Fuyou took out the inner elixir and the golden spirit of the wind beast and placed them on the stone table together with the sword embryo. Now that he had the gold and wood attribute treasures, he only lacked the water, fire, and earth attribute treasures, as well as the Qilin marrow. The treasures were not hard to find, but the Qilin marrow was hard to find. She had as much as she wanted, but unfortunately she could not control it. When she was free, she lost the Qilin marrow. The Zuo family took a lot of them back then, and I wonder if they have any left.
Zhong Michu said: "There is something inside."
Gu Fuyou listened to her, picked up the storage bag, searched again, took out two beads, and explored with his spiritual power, and found a fire-attributed spirit beast inner elixir, which was of a high grade. Zhong Michu said: "This is the inner elixir of the Fire Cloud Dragon."
Gu Fuyou raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The Fire Cloud Dragon that bit Zhong Michu and left him with scars, Zuo Taisui's spiritual beast. Thinking of the scales that fell like snow that day, Gu Fuyou felt particularly stinging, and his whole body was uncomfortable. The joints of his hand that was holding the inner elixir were bulging.
Gu Fuyou sneered, "It's a matter of time." Back then, the Fire Cloud Dragon only bullied the White Dragon because its scales and armor were not yet formed. If they fight again today, the White Dragon must have been so big that it could block out the sun and the sky, and its scales and armor would be indestructible. But now, it has been defeated by Zhong Michu.
Gu Fuyou held up the ochre-colored bead and asked, "What about this one?" This was a rare treasure with earth attributes. Could it be the spiritual beast that Zhong Michu went hunting specifically
Zhong Michu said: "My daughter's."
"Hmm?" Gu Fuyou always felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her mention "my daughter", but because it was slight, he could ignore it as long as he didn't think about it too much.
Zhong Michu said: "She was born with a treasure in her mouth. When she broke out of the shell, she held this thing in her mouth."
Gu Fuyou understood. This situation did happen to the Blue Luan and the Dragon Clan, because the two clans were auspicious beasts, taking the essence of the sun and the moon, and being blessed by heaven and earth. Naturally, there were many auspicious signs when they were born, and some of them came out with treasures in their mouths, but not all dragons and Blue Luans held treasures in their mouths. It was just like gambling on raw stones. If you are lucky, you will get it, but if you are unlucky, you will not.
It seems that Zhong Michu's daughter is also a chosen one.
Gu Fuyou played with the beads and asked, "It's not good for me to take her things."
Zhong Michu said calmly: "She won't mind."
Gu Fuyou was not polite: "Then I'll accept it. After all, I'm her uncle. When I meet her, I'll prepare a double gift for the child, including this."
Gu Fuyou took out a porcelain bottle from the storage bag. The white bottle seemed to be filled with elixirs. She had a premonition and uncorked the bottle. A bloody smell came out.
It is the marrow of the unicorn.
Gu Fuyou rubbed the porcelain bottle with her thumb for a long time, looked at Zhong Michu, and smiled, "You are useless." She felt a little sour in her heart. Too many things happened back then, and her power was minimal. She only hoped that she could compensate her a little and try her best to help her.
Zhong Michu's expression was cold. Gu Fuyou noticed that she was unhappy. When she fed her blood to Zhong Michu, Zhong Michu was very resistant. Zhong Michu was different from those people in the Zuo family. Not everyone in this world was crazy and thirsty for her blood, wanting to swallow her into their stomachs.
Gu Fuyou said no more, put the white porcelain bottle on the table, and murmured with his chin on his hand: "It seems that the only missing treasure is a water-attributed treasure." It is easy to find, but it is not easy to find. There are many treasures with water attributes, but not many have pure attributes, strong spirituality, and high spiritual power.
Zhong Michu said: "It's my inner elixir, how about it?" Her inner elixir was indeed a rare water-attributed treasure. This white dragon had water spiritual roots and had already reached the great perfection of the spiritual power. All the treasures in Gu Fuyou's hands were not as pure and precious as the inner elixir of this white dragon.
Gu Fuyou looked at her and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about."
Zhong Michu said: "If you want, I can give you the inner elixir."
She said it so seriously that Gu Fuyou's smile fell.
A change of clothes was placed on the bedside yesterday, and Zhong Michu put it on today. It was a snow-white dress with wisteria flowers crocheted on the cuffs with purple thread. She always thought that Zhong Michu looked good in this kind of clothes.
At this time, Zhong Michu was wearing this dress. Her clothes were as white as snow, her skirt was fluttering, and her amber eyes were melted by the sunlight, turning into a warm honey-colored current.
She always had an illusion that what Zhong Michu said meant: If you want, I can give you my life.
The warm current surrounded her, penetrating every pore and trying to seep into her body. Even though her heart was now covered with a thick layer of ice, it was about to melt and she was in danger of extinction.
She was eager to break free, but she couldn't indulge in it, as it would be hopeless.
She hardened her heart, looked around, saw Mr. Zhai, and hurriedly called out, "Mr. Zhai." Her voice sounded strange and abrupt.
Mr. Zhai was out of the situation: "What's wrong?"
Gu Fuyou asked: "Where were we just talking about?"
"ah?"
"The matter of Wantong City."
"Oh." Mr. Zhai couldn't help but glance at Zhong Michu: "Go to the Cloud Canyon to capture the spirit beast."
"Yes, let's go."
"Now?"
"yes."
Zhong Michu said, "I'll go with you." It was not a question, but a notification.
Gu Fuyou avoided her a little and said, "You are seriously injured, stay at home." He used Zhong Michu's words to stop her.
Zhong Michu said: "There is no one at home. I am seriously injured. It is not safe to be alone at home." She really liked the word "home".
Gu Fuyou said: "Don't worry, we have a formation."
Zhong Michu said: "The formation is dead, but people are alive. At least you have reached the state of distraction. Will this formation be safer than being by your side?"
Gu Fuyou gritted his teeth. This person could speak now, and she had hundreds of words waiting for her to say one word.
Gu Fuyou had no choice but to play rogue, but unfortunately he didn't have time to start. Mr. Zhai switched sides: "Gu Fuyou, I think it's better to take Miss Zhong with you. I heard that the dragon tribe is very good at taming beasts. Maybe she can subdue the spirit beast without any action, saving you the trouble. Isn't it good?"
Zhong Michu said: "Mr. Zhai is right."
Gu Fuyou looked at Zhong Michu and then at Mr. Zhai. The defeat was overwhelming, the situation was hopeless, she surrendered: "Okay."
She handed the mask she wore yesterday to Zhong Michu and said, "Many people in the Zuo family recognize you. If you follow me, hide your identity."
"I see."
Zhong Michu put on the mask, and the group went out. Mr. Zhai sighed, and suddenly remembered that Gu Fuyou had summoned Zhong Michu. The dragon clan was as arrogant as Qingluan, and would not easily carry people.
"Gu Fuyou, how do we get to Cloud Canyon?"
Gu Fuyou gritted his teeth, traitors will not have a good end: "Humph, let's go on foot."
"… "
