What's even more hateful is that guy. Not only does he drink by himself, but he also makes noises on purpose. Gu Ting even wants to stretch his mouth open and tear it apart.

"Can you please shut your damn mouth?" Gu Ting finally couldn't help it and shouted angrily.

Gu Yuan completely ignored Gu Ting, continued drinking his water, and shouted out in comfort.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it feels so good! If I didn't have water, I don't know if I could make it until I leave the desert."

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, but his voice was not small, at least, it could be heard by Gu Ting.

Gu Ting was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head. She was about to yell at Gu Yuan, but she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and fell straight down.

"Hey hey hey what the hell? Where is this going?"

Gu Yuan quickly accelerated his pace and came directly to Gu Ting, then reached out and caught her.

"Phew...Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise the wound would have opened up again."

Holding Gu Ting in his arms, Gu Yuan hurriedly picked up the water bag, brought it to Gu Ting's mouth, and fed her.

After a while, Gu Ting slowly woke up.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you faint for so long?" Gu Yuan asked speechlessly, looking at Gu Ting in his arms.

"You...you let go...let me go!"

Gu Ting spoke weakly, struggling to break free from Gu Yuan's arms.

"Tsk, be honest. Why are you still trying to be so stubborn even though you're in this state?"

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Ting speechlessly, and used a little strength in his hands to stop Gu Ting's struggle.

"Let me go!"

“No!”

Gu Yuan suddenly looked at Gu Ting fiercely and said, "Don't move, or the wound will reopen. It's all because I'm too kind-hearted and didn't want to see you die without help. I tell you, if you cause me trouble again, the journey will be long. It will take at least two days to leave the desert. I tell you, you are powerless now. If you provoke me and don't listen to me, hehehe..."

At the end of his speech, Gu Yuan deliberately looked back and forth at Gu Ting and let out a malicious laugh.

"You...don't do anything rash, I...I promise you!"

Gu Ting was not stupid either. Looking at Gu Yuan's eyes, she guessed what Gu Yuan meant by his last words.

If that kind of thing really happened, Gu Ting would rather die than survive.

So Gu Ting was still extremely afraid of Gu Yuan's words.

"Just be obedient and I won't hurt you. If you don't want to be obedient, don't blame me for being a bastard." Gu Yuan said coldly.

"Isn't it okay for me to listen to you?" Gu Ting's attitude obviously softened.

"Can you...can you let me go first?" Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan pleadingly.

Gu Yuan was speechless. He nodded and said, "Slow down, the wound is about to open again!"

Gu Ting stood up slowly, her face a little pale.

"Can you tell me your name? I, Gu Ting, will remember your life-saving grace." Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and said.

"Gu Ting? I don't think you're a simple person by the way you dress. What's your status in the Gu family?"

Although he knew Gu Ting's true identity, Gu Yuan still pretended to be a bitch, otherwise it would not be a good thing if his identity was discovered.

"I am just an ordinary member of the Gu family. There is nothing special about me." Gu Ting said lightly.

"Oh? Is that so?" Gu Yuan asked with a slight smile on his face.

"By the way, what's your name? You haven't told me yet." Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and asked.

"My name is Gu Yuan." Gu Yuan replied casually.

"Gu Yuan? Okay, I'll remember you."

Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Well, have a drink. After that, we'll continue on our journey. We'll reach the Sand City in two days."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Ting took the water bag from Gu Yuan's hand.

After drinking the water, the two of them walked outside under the scorching sun.

After walking for two whole days, the outline of the sand city finally appeared before their eyes.

Wiping the sweat off his head, Gu Yuan took a deep breath and cursed, "Damn it, the environment in this desert is really too harsh. It's almost life-threatening!"

Gu Ting has been walking and stopping for the past two days, recovering from her injuries while traveling. Her complexion has improved a little, but her spiritual energy has not yet recovered.

"Hey, let me tell you, we're already in Shacheng. Your Gu family should have people in Shacheng too. Let's go our separate ways when we get to Shacheng." Gu Yuan said to Gu Ting.

Gu Ting thought about it and shook her head.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? I've already saved your life, what else do you want from me? Don't go too far." Gu Yuan said with a frown.

Gu Ting hesitated for a moment, then said, "To tell you the truth, I am actually the daughter of the Gu family, and the patriarch of the Gu family is my father."

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. Why did Gu Ting suddenly tell him her true identity at this time?

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan's expression and asked.

"Of course I'm not surprised. An ordinary person dressed like this? Do you think I could believe it?" Gu Yuan said speechlessly.

Judging from the material of this dress, it is impossible for an ordinary person to wear it. And judging from Gu Ting's temperament, she does not look like an ordinary person.

Gu Ting nodded, smiled, and suddenly said, "Let me tell you something."

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Ting and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"I may not be able to recover my spiritual energy during this period. If you stay with me, it will be like I hire you to be my bodyguard." Gu Ting said.

"Huh? Hiring me to be your bodyguard? Are you kidding?"

Gu Yuan looked at Gu Ting with a helpless look and asked.

"I'm serious." Gu Ting said again.

"Are you sure?"

Gu Yuan frowned and said, "Once we enter the Desert City, there will be people from your Gu family there. Although you are injured, nothing will happen once you return to your Gu family. You will recover in no time. Why did you hire me as your bodyguard? To avenge what I did to you in the desert?"

"You're overthinking it. I don't have that idea. I can only say that for some reason, I can't go back to the Gu family. It's impossible for me to go back there. Otherwise, my situation might, no, it will definitely be more difficult than it is now. I won't explain the reasons to you. You just need to know that this is the case. And because the family rules are quite strict, I actually have no one to protect me. Now that my spiritual energy has not recovered, I need someone to stay by my side to protect me for a while until my spiritual energy recovers."

"Then I'm confused. Why did you choose me?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Is it that hard to answer? I was in a worse situation in the desert, and you didn't do anything to me. You certainly won't do anything to me now, and you won't do anything to me in the future."
