Chapter 62: What if I really intend to offer myself?
"Thank you!"
"Gu Fei... I really, really don't know how to thank you!"
Yun Yun feels extremely moved, emotion value +100
When Yun Yun saw that Gu Fei agreed, a warm feeling surged in her heart, and her cold, beautiful face melted away.
She knew that she owed Gu Fei too much already.
"Are you planning to offer yourself as thanks?"
Seeing Yun Yun's current emotions, Gu Fei couldn't help but tease her with a smile.
Though Gu Fei said it casually, Yun Yun's heart skipped a beat.
Yun Yun feels flustered and shy, emotion value +150
A blush quickly spread across her delicate face, and she bit her lower lip, showing a somewhat flustered expression.
However, looking at Gu Fei's playful eyes, Yun Yun quickly realized he was joking.
"What if... I really intend to offer myself?"
Yun Yun feels hopeful, emotion value +100
Yun Yun bravely responded to Gu Fei's joke with one of her own for the first time, while also feeling a flicker of hope in her heart for his response.
If an outsider were to witness this scene, they would be shocked.
Who was Yun Yun? Her cold, beautiful eyes had never shown any emotion. The usually serious and aloof Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect was now saying such ambiguous words to a young man.
Seeing Yun Yun's somewhat serious expression, Gu Fei narrowed his eyes.
"Alright, enough joking. I'll visit the Nalan family first thing tomorrow morning."
He smiled, ending the conversation simply.
Yun Yun feels disappointed, emotion value +100
(TL/n: Tch, coward!)
Without getting the response she hoped for, Yun Yun's body stiffened, and she pulled back her gaze, forcing a smile. "Alright, I'll tell Yanran to be prepared."
Late at night, Yun Yun quietly entered Nalan Yanran's room to tell her that Gu Fei had agreed to treat Nalan Jie.
"Really? Thank you, Master!"
Nalan Yanran feels hopeful, emotion value +80
In Gu Fei's perception, the poison had almost fused with Nalan Jie's bones, turning what
should have been smooth white bones into an ominous black.
He frowned and said bluntly, "If an ordinary person tries to use heavenly flame to dispel the poison, there's a high chance he'll be burnt to ashes."
After all, even a Dou Emperor would be severely injured if touched by heavenly flame.
Nalan Yanran feels shocked and disappointed, emotion value +80
"This..."
Hearing Gu Fei's words, Nalan Yanran became anxious, unsure of what to say.
Gu Fei glanced at her calmly, "Don't worry, I said that's for ordinary people. I have a way to
cure him completely without any danger."
The room fell into a brief, tense silence.
Nalan Yanran feels hopeful, emotion value +80
Nalan Su feels hesitant, emotion value +30
"Are you serious, Young Master?"
"In that case, I thank Young Master Gu Fei in advance for saving my father's life!"
Nalan Yanran believed Gu Fei's words without hesitation, knowing he was brought by Yun Yun. Nalan Su, although unfamiliar with Gu Fei's abilities, was reassured by his confident
tone.
"Stand aside..."
Gu Fei said calmly before curling his hand slightly, causing a stream of energy to lift Nalan Jie
from the bed.
He glanced casually at Nalan Jie. Despite years of poison eroding him, leaving his face even more haggard, there was still a trace of defiance, fitting his name.
His left hand lightly tapped Nalan Jie's shoulder, and with a burst of force, the old man's clothes turned to dust, revealing a skeletal frame.
Looking at this emaciated body, Gu Fei's expression remained unchanged, while Nalan Yanran, standing nearby, already had tears welling up in her eyes.
It was rare to see such mist in her usually bright eyes, making the usually dignified woman
appear pitiful.
