CH 48

Hello lovelies! I’m back from my hiatus~

She lightly released the girl’s fingers with a soft laugh, then pinched Youyou’s delicate cheek. Her tone carried a teasing tone along with a hint of frustration.

“Why’re you still so shy? We’re already very, very close aren’t we? But your constitution is just so fragile, you faint anytime we do anything, which is quite frustrating, you know?”

“By the way, every time you go out looking for Lan Deng, you seem to be quite strong, so…”

“Are you acting weak when you’re with me?”

Acting, my foot!

Angrily biting the flesh on the woman’s chest through her clothes in retaliation, Youyou was embarrassed to find out that not only did Yao Yue not stop her, but she even encouraged her to use more force with that very seductive voice shamelessly,

Moaning and groaning unabashedly.

Immediately ceasing her actions, Youyou covered Yao Yue’s mouth hastily and tearfully inquired, “You- Why are you like this?”

It’d be super embarrassing if anyone heard that.

“Huh?”

Blinking and looking at Youyou in confusion, Yao Yue held Youyou’s hand, her eyes shining with a seducttive glint, her voice soft and alluring, “Because it’s you, Youyou.”

Youyou: …

Face flushing red once more, Youyou bit her lips as she said:

“But you can’t do this. We’re in the carriage right now. What if, what if someone else hears your voice? You’re so annoying1She’s saying this coquettishly.,”

Yaoyue: …

With just a thin wooden board separating them, no matter how soft their voices are, the shadow guards would still hear them. But, is lil Youyou jealous?

Interest flashed in her enchanting eyes, and Yao Yue soothingly said, “Good girl, they won’t hear us because they are all deaf.”

“Ah, really?”

“Mm, it’s true.”

Even if it is fake, she will make it real.

In the calm and indifferent tone, there was a subtle hint of ruthlessness and bloodthirstiness. Youyou blinked and, after a while, huffed, “Liar.”

Although she rarely had contact with them, Youyou knew that they were normal.

Outside the carriage, a group of guards disguised as ordinary cult members/disciples heard their mistress’s words and felt a chill run down their spines, especially the young man driving the carriage, who was struggling to hold onto the reins.

The shadow guards were astounded by how their wise and mighty mistress had been completely enchanted by a young girl and was even considering ways to deafen them. They couldn’t help but feel incredulous and were nearly tearing up.

Half a month later…

Yao Yue and her group finally arrived in the capital of Qinglong.

Throughout the journey, Youyou had several outbursts, but each time, she was forcibly restrained by Yao Yue . Of course, Yao Yue also ended up scratched by Youyou, especially on her neck and face, where the blood had dried up into scabs.

In the city of Qingshui, at the Fulaiju residence, Yuelian held Yuoyuo’s hand and cautioned her, “You need to stay here quietly, no wandering around, especially since lately, Qingshui City has become crowded and restless. Wait for me to come and get you. When the love bug strikes, you must obediently let them restrain you, understand?”

Youyou’s ears were almost developing calluses.

But seeing the fine scars on Yao Yue’s face, Youyou could only nod, feeling somewhat guilty.

Her gaze shifted from Youyou to Bai Gu and Bai Ling. Yao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone cool and filled with a warning of danger.

“Take care of her when her love gu is activated. Otherwise, I’ll hunt you down.”

The veins on her forehead bulged, and Bai Ling wanted to say, “What’s with that attitude? The Holy Maiden clearly belongs to our Saint Lin Palace. It’s none of your business!”

Bai Gu reached out to tug at Bai Ling’s sleeve, urging her to control herself. Bai Ling nodded at Yao Yue, her appearance now restored to that of the ethereal beauty of the holy mountain.

“Then I’ll get going. Little Youyou, be good, okay?”

Bending down, she placed a kiss on the corner of the young girl’s lips. Seeing her nod in response, Yao Yue couldn’t help but cup her face and deepen the kiss.

Really, how can there be such an adorable girl in this world? If it weren’t for not wanting to drag her into trouble, she would definitely take her wherever she went.

When Yao Yue finally left the room, Youyou’s lips were a rosy shade. Holding her bag obediently, she sat on the bed, thinking about every little moment spent with Yao Yue, and her face suddenly flushed with shyness.

This was a different kind of emotion, distinct from the emotions brought by the love gu. It was a surge of feelings that made Youyou suddenly collapse onto the bed. She covered her eyes with the back of her hand, her heart pounding rapidly and erratically.

Meanwhile, not far from Youyou’s room, two men dressed in elegant clothing—one with delicate features and the other with a handsome appearance—were deep in conversation, plotting something. However, towards the end of their discussion, they shifted their focus to Youyou.

“Could it be that Youyou is the Junior Palace Master of the Saint Lin Palace?”

Bai Qu rubbed his temples, feeling exhausted.

Ever since he arrived in this world without amnesia, his heart had been pounding. However, he still didn’t want to give up until the end.

“Not likely.”

Recalling the news from his subordinates, Xuan Ling, also known as Su Ling, shook his head. “She bites and attacks people like a madwoman. She’s nothing like what the legend says. I wonder what that eccentric woman, Yao Yue, sees in her to be so fond of her. According to the reports, they have also arrived in Qingshui.”

Furrowing his brow, Bai Qu thought of his obedient younger sister with even more weariness.

“Then let’s finish the mission as soon as possible.”

He didn’t want to say anything else.

“Yes, Xuanwu and Baihu are completely under our control. Once we deal with Qinglong and Zhuque, the mission to unify the four nations will be considered complete.”

Tasks of this level are not difficult for advanced operatives like them, it’s just time-consuming work.

He glanced at his beloved with heartache, but Su Ling dared not say anything. In such a tricky situation, he only muttered a few curses at the disobedient troublemaker and silently lamented the fact that he hadn’t tasted meat in a long time.

For a while, the room remained deadly quiet.

But suddenly, a scream pierced through the inn.

“Damn, is this still the ancient times when women were gentle as water?”

Startled by the sharp, ear-piercing female voice, Su Ling hesitated for a moment. He had just opened his eyes when he saw Bai Qu rushing out of the room, as if driven by instinct. He couldn’t believe his eyes and sat on the chair, blinking in surprise. After a moment, he snapped out of it and quickly followed him.

Seriously.

It can’t be what he’s thinking, right?

In just a few breaths, Bai Qu had appeared outside the room where the sound came from.

He kicked open the door and saw a man and a woman pressing down a girl in red clothing whose face he couldn’t see clearly. They had a bundle of hemp rope in their hands, and the girl was screaming and struggling, clearly being held against her will.

“You beasts, what are you doing?”

A surge of unidentified anger welled up from his heart. Bai Qu swung his fist and, in an instant, he appeared at the bedside, striking both Bai Gu and Bai Ling across their faces.

Both of them winced in pain, their grip weakening. Seizing the opportunity, Youyou managed to break free and jumped off the bed, but she collided with Bai Qu, who was intentionally blocking her path.

“Ugh.”

Holding her forehead, Youyou angrily looked up, but suddenly froze.

“Bai… Bai Qu?”

If the bond between a Child Gu and its Mother Gu is a type of deep attachment that can’t be easily severed, then Bai Qu’s relationship with Youyou is one of both a father and a brother.

Clutching Bai Qu’s sleeve in a daze, Youyou suddenly grew quiet. This scene not only astonished Bai Gu and Bai Ling but also left Bai Qu and Su Ling dumbfounded.

“Bai Qu?”

The exquisitely red-clothed girl, now stripped of the restlessness and violent aura, gazed steadily at Bai Qu. In her black-and-white eyes, there was a sense of reliance, joy, and perhaps a hint of hesitation.

Could it be that he isn’t Bai Qu?

But they look identical.

Perhaps because of watching the girl’s confusion grow on her face, Bai Qu took a deep breath, finally suppressing the impulse to cry.

“Yes, it’s me.”

His voice carried a slight trembling that he couldn’t restrain.

Bai Qu gently took the girl’s hand that was tugging at his sleeve and held it in his palm. He then gently tapped her nose and spoke tenderly.

“But you, did they bully you?”

Bai Gu, Bai Ling: …

Isn’t it usually the Saintess who bullies them?

“No.”

With her rationality restored, Youyou shook her head sincerely and looked apologetically at Bai Gu and Bai Ling, her tone filled with regret.

“It’s because I was affected by the love gu. Yao Yue said that if the love gu takes effect, I should let Bai Gu tie me up, otherwise, I might hurt someone.”

Love Gu, Yao Yue, Bai Gu, hurting people…

With a subtle shift in his thoughts, Bai Qu began to piece together all the clues. His gaze darkened as he caught sight of a figure lurking just outside the door, trying to hide, and his anger intensified.

“You stay here and wait for me, Youyou. One minute. I’m going to teach a certain someone a lesson they won’t forget.”

Cracking his knuckles, Bai Qu soothed Youyou before leaving furiously to give Su Ling a thorough beating.

“You damn bastard, what use are you to me?!”

“You had amnesia last time, so what’s your excuse now?!”

“You call Youyou crazy? I think you’re a damn fool!”
