Evil Emperor’s Wild Consort

In front of an exquisitely ornate window pane, a man stood with his back against the door. A light breeze gently encircled the room, softly brushing through the man’s inky black hair.

As if sensing the footsteps from outside the door, he gently tilted his head. The bright rays of sunlight shone upon the man’s handsome face, casting a far more mesmerizing sight than the sunlight outside the window.

The door pushed open, and Elder Yu slowly entered the room. He bowed his head and spoke respectfully, “Young Master, I have something to report.”

The man gently raised his hand and stopped the old man before he could continue speaking.

He curled the corners of his lips into an attractive angle. His gentle eyes shone like enchanting black pools, so beautiful that they could generate ripples in the hearts of many.

“Elder Yu, there’s no need for an explanation. I’ve seen everything that has happened downstairs. This Gu Ruoyun, it seems that she is not as fragile as they say. At least, I can’t detect any sign of weakness or cowardice in her…”

No one in Azure Dragon country did not know that the genius of that generation, Gu Tian had given birth to a good-for-nothing, gifted with stupidity, cowardly and afraid of everything daughter. Not only was she a humiliation to his name, she was the shame of General Gu’s household. Based on his observations, the rumors weren’t true. That girl was so overbearing. What part of her resembled a coward?

I simply don’t know where these rumors came from. He thought.

“Gu Ruoyun?” Elder Yu’s mouth fell open in shock, “Young Master, are you saying that she is Gu Tian and Lady Yu’er’s daughter, Gu Ruoyun?”

“Precisely,” The man gently stroked the bamboo leaves next to him with his slender fingers, his lips held an unreadable smile. “There aren’t many people whom I admire. Gu Tian is one of those people. He had the capability to grow into such great strength, under such weak circumstances. If he was born into a powerful organization, he would now be among the greatest cultivators in all of the mainland. Both he and my sister were a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, some people made the decision to tear them apart.”

The man sighed at the thought of this, and spoke with a hint of regret in his voice, “Now that we’re discussing it, that Gu Ruoyun should address me as her uncle. But I’ve heard talk in the family that this Gu Ruoyun is extremely useless, and can’t even be compared with Gu Tian. My visit this time is for her sake! Elder Yu, the Hundred Herb Hall is only one of my businesses; losing it is equivalent to losing a few pieces of gold. Hence, I approve of your notion in utilizing the Hundred Herb Hall as part of your wager. However, it does not mean that just because she is Gu Tian’s daughter, you should go easy on her. I want to see her true capabilities…”

How could a great genius like Gu Tian have possibly given birth to a good-for-nothing daughter? He wondered.

So, I want to find out if this girl has the ability to single-handedly conquer the heavens!

…

Downstairs, Gu Ruoyun heard the sound of footsteps descending from above. She lightly raised her eyebrows, sweeping her gaze towards Elder Yu, who was hobbling hurriedly downstairs.

“So how was it? Does your Young Master agree to my suggestion?”

Once he found out about Gu Ruoyun’s true identity, Elder Yu began to feel a complex mix of emotions. He had never thought that this girl would turn out to be the daughter of Gu Tian and the precious pearl of the Dongfang Family. Should he ever offend her, then in the future…

Even though the Young Master left instructions to not take it easy with her, but it shouldn’t be a problem if I lightened the load for her a little, right?

“Cough! Cough!”

Elder Yu’s eyes darted back and forth at the thought of this. He let out a dry cough and said, “My lady, how should we go about this competition?”

“It’s simple!”Gu Ruoyun raised her lips to an angle, “Elder Yu, I hear that your throat is hoarse, it is an old affliction?”

Elder Yu was momentarily stunned, and nodded honestly, “That’s right. That year, I was locked in battle with a strong cultivator, and was gravely injured which caused damage to my throat. While I’ve managed to save myself with my herbs, I was never able to heal my throat to its original state.”
