NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24
In the evening.
I don't know how long I have been unconscious.
Xu Nianxue slowly woke up, her amber eyes quietly looking at the strange ceiling.
The confusion in her eyes instantly turned into shock!
She jumped up from the bed with a carp jump, and her internal Qi circulated, trying to activate her life magic weapon.
But the next second.
There was a sudden burst of pain in her Dantian, surging like a tide, and she fell on the bed in pain, her body bent like a shrimp.
"Hiss - damn, did I hurt my Qi sea?"
Xu Nianxue gritted her teeth in pain, and it took a long time for her to recover.
She sat up on the bed and looked carefully at the environment she was in.
This was a spacious and tidy room, and her black robe and bronze mask were neatly placed at the head of the bed.
In addition, there was no sign that her clothes were moved.
I think the owner of this room should also be a gentleman who observes etiquette.
Xu Nianxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had encountered a life-and-death crisis before, and had to cast a [Thousand Miles Magical Travel Talisman] to escape from the enemy.
But she couldn't fully control this precious talisman, nor could she accurately locate the teleportation location.
If she just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den, she would be in tears.
"At present, my luck is pretty good?"
Just as Xu Nianxue was secretly rejoicing, the door of the room was pushed open.
A tall, heroic and handsome young man walked in.
When Xu Nianxue saw the appearance of the visitor, her eyes lit up, as if the pain in her body was relieved a little.
"Awake?" Gu Cheng asked softly.
"Yeah."
Xu Nianxue nodded slightly.
"Young Master Gu, did you take off the mask on my face?"
"Yes... Is there any problem?"
Gu Cheng looked at the girl's suddenly serious expression, and his heart tightened.
"Alas... Young Master Gu, you don't know, I once swore a poisonous oath in the ancestral temple of my family. Before getting married, I will never take off the mask in front of outsiders in my life..."
Xu Nianxue looked up at Gu Cheng with a dim gaze.
"If a man takes off my mask, either kill him or marry him..."
"???"
The expression on Gu Cheng's face froze.
What the hell?
How could there be such a weird poisonous oath, are you a copycat version of Mu Wanqing?
"Are you kidding?"
"Eh? You figured this out?"
The girl was surprised, and her previous serious expression disappeared instantly.
"..."
"Hahaha, look at your expression. Do you feel disappointed when you hear that I'm joking?"
Xu Nianxue laughed so hard that her body shook. Her clear laughter was like a silver bell.
Gu Cheng's mouth twitched and his face was dark.
Why did she suddenly become funny after taking off her mask?
Looking at this girl's cheerful and unremarkable personality, is she really the eldest daughter of a big family in Yunzhou City?
-----------------
"Delicious! So delicious!"
"Ah~ I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time..."
On the dining table.
Xu Nianxue's chopsticks were as fast as the wind, like a starving ghost reincarnated, sweeping away the food on the table like a whirlwind.
I don't know how long this girl has been hungry, her appetite is amazing.
Gu Cheng didn't pick up two chopsticks in total. Just looking at her happy face eating, he was full.
But it's no wonder.
Back then, Lady Xue relied on this cooking skill to even capture the heart of a magic master.
Now, it is easy to capture a little beauty who has been hungry for who knows how many days.
After finishing most of the food on the table.
Xu Nianxue noticed the strange look of the young man, and hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, coughed twice, and put down her chopsticks.
She wiped her mouth gracefully, lowered her eyes, and looked like a reserved and quiet lady.
"Young Master Gu, the dishes cooked by this chef in your family are so delicious. Is he a top chef invited from Zuixianlou?"
"There is no chef. I made all these dishes."
"You???"
Xu Nianxue opened her eyes wide in surprise.
It is hard to imagine that this sword genius is actually a master of cooking!
"Okay, now that we're done eating, you should tell me your story, right? To be honest, I still don't know your name until now."
Gu Cheng held his chin with one hand, raised his eyes and stared at the girl, his eyes were deep.
"Well, let's get to know each other again.
My name is Xu Nianxue, my hometown is Yunzhou City, and I'm currently a wandering monster hunter..."
The girl briefly introduced the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Xu NianA few days ago, when Xue was exorcising demons on Black Wind Mountain, she was suddenly ambushed by a powerful evil cultivator and was seriously injured.
In order to save her life, she had to use a talisman that she had not yet fully mastered, and as a result, she was randomly teleported to Gu Cheng's bedroom.
"Random teleport? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" Gu Cheng looked suspicious.
"Well... Actually, I thought about it carefully later, and this shouldn't be a coincidence..."
Xu Nianxue said, waving to the side.
The black iron token that Gu Cheng had put away immediately flew out of the cabinet and fell into the hands of the girl.
"The family token I gave you that night and the Thousand Miles Divine Travel Talisman that I forced to activate this time were both made by the same family elder and have the same spiritual imprint on them."
"This token has the function of positioning. Although the Thousand Miles Divine Travel Talisman is a random teleportation, it will also prioritize teleporting me to the vicinity of the token..."
Speaking of this, Xu Nianxue couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Who could have expected that the investment he made on a whim that night would pay off so quickly.
"Is that so..."
Gu Cheng looked at the token in the girl's hand and nodded slightly, accepting her explanation.
"What are your plans next?"
"Well - I have serious internal injuries and need to find a safe, clean and secluded place to recuperate slowly.
By the way, if that place can provide delicious meals three times a day, it would be even more perfect..."
Xu Nianxue counted on her fingers, her amber eyes quietly looking at Gu Cheng, her eyebrows full of hope.
Gu Cheng felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the girl.
To be fair, Xu Nianxue's appearance is not inferior to Lin Qingyan at all.
And compared with the cold temperament of that cold and beautiful lady.
The slightly cheerful personality of this Miss Xu makes it easier for people to have no sense of distance and it is easier for people to lose control.
"Are you sure? A man and a woman living under the same roof, you are so confident in me?"
Gu Cheng's face was full of joking: "Don't forget, you are seriously injured now, and you have no ability to protect yourself."
"Of course I am relieved."
Xu Nianxue waved her hand nonchalantly.
"When you were in the body-tempering realm, you dared to use your body as bait and go alone to kill the monster. This courage alone proves that you are not a bad person."
"Let's take a step back. You are so beautiful, so talented, and your cooking is so delicious.
If you really dare to have improper thoughts about me, then this lady will rely on you from now on, and I won't suffer any loss anyway..."
Xu Nianxue saw that someone's face was getting gloomier, and hurriedly changed her words and added:
"Of course! If you let me recuperate here, I will definitely give you enough compensation!"
"Oh? What compensation." Gu Cheng's face relaxed.
"I remember you just broke through the Qi and Blood Realm? You must be lacking the Qi and Blood Realm cultivation method..."
"I already have the Qi and Blood Realm cultivation method." Gu Cheng said calmly.
"I have it?" Xu Nianxue raised her eyebrows:
"Did you get it from the armory? What good things can be in the armory of your Demon Suppression Division branch? It must not be as good as the cultivation method I gave you... Wait, you are not practicing "Blue Dragon Hundred Refining"?!"
Looking at Gu Cheng's extremely calm eyes, Xu Nianxue suddenly thought of something.
And the other party's tacit attitude also completely confirmed her guess.
"Hiss——"
Xu Nianxue couldn't help but take a breath.
She knew that Gu Cheng had amazing talent, but she didn't expect it to be so amazing.
"Well, since you don't lack cultivation methods... what else do you want now?"
Xu Nianxue spread her hands, looking like she was ready to choose.
Gu Cheng thought for a moment, thinking of the large and small bags he carried when he bought groceries before, and he suddenly had an idea and asked:
"Do you have any space equipment that can hold things?"
"Space equipment? Oh, do you mean storage magic tools? I can give you one."
Miss Xu took out a palm-sized brocade bag from her waist without saying anything and handed it to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng carefully examined the storage magic tool in his hand, and could not see any difference between this thing and an ordinary brocade bag. He frowned and asked:
"How should this thing be used?"
"Hehe, a storage bag is a basic magic tool, not just anyone can use it~"
Xu Nianxue smiled and explained softly:
"If you want to use a magic tool, you must either have reached the innate realm and be able to use innate true qi to activate it."
"Or you can concentrate your mind through meditation and become a [Spiritual Cultivator]!"
