Chapter 52 Speechless

It was still this familiar, somewhat playful sense of contempt.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Yuan's lips.

Lin Xiaoqian on the other side was already furious. She glared at Ji Yunzhou fiercely and continued to say to Gu Yuan:

"I just wanted to go to where he lived and pick some wild fruits to try, but guess what? He! He actually! Just slammed me into the air with his sword! And that's not the end!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she felt the humiliation of that year again: "He actually! Tied me! In a knot! Yes! You heard me right! It was a knot!"

"And then they hung me on a tree! Right under that fruit tree! I could see but couldn't eat! I was hanging there for three whole days and three nights! Is that something a human would do?"

Gu Yuan tried hard to hold back his laughter, his shoulders shaking slightly.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ji Yunzhou beside him. He was completely unable to connect the cold, dignified and calm man in front of him with the naughty boy that Lin Xiaoqian mentioned.

But deep down I felt... this seemed like something he might do.

I didn't expect that someone like Ji Yunzhou would have a soft side in front of me.

Ji Yunzhou, whose "evil deeds" were exposed on the spot, remained calm and composed, not even an eyebrow moved.

He slowly picked up a piece of fish for Gu Yuan with his chopsticks.

Then, he spoke calmly, his voice steady and calm, with a chilling calmness and a determination to correct the facts:

"Correction."

He spoke calmly, "First, that's not what you call a wild fruit. It's the Spirit Mist Fruit that I carefully cultivated. It contains pure spiritual energy and is priceless."

He paused and glanced at Lin Xiaoqian, his eyes clearly saying "It's terrible that you are uneducated."

"Secondly, your behavior at that time, strictly speaking, is not picking, it is stealing."

"Third, I warned you at least three times before you committed the theft."

"fourth."

His tone became a little more serious. "I only hung you for one day and one night, not three days and three nights. It's your own IQ that's worrying, your understanding is too poor, and you can't untie the simplest knot."

"fifth."

He finally slowly added another blow, with a kind of mocking look at how kind I am:

"In the end, wasn't it because I saw you were so stupid and took pity on you that I personally went up to untie the knot and let you down? Otherwise, you could have hung there for another ten or eight years, serving as a free insect repellent and snake pendant for that Spirit Mist Fruit tree."

Lin Xiaoqian: “…………”

Damn!

She almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Do you remember the details so clearly?

You dare to refute it with point by point information?

And these are all the fucking facts? How could she accept this?!

"Then... then tying a knot and hanging it on a tree is wrong too!"

She held it in for a long time, clinging to her last bit of moral superiority, her voice changing in anger:

"How can you treat a girl so rudely? So excessive? So ungraceful! Are you still a man? Ji Yunzhou!"

"oh?"

Ji Yunzhou finally put down his chopsticks, crossed his arms calmly, looked at her with slightly raised eyebrows, and a very malicious smile flashed in his eyes.

"Girls?"

He deliberately prolonged his tone and looked her up and down, as if trying to recall:

"Were you... a girl then? If I remember correctly, you were in your original form, a fat rat snake that could barely walk. Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really can't tell... whether you were male or female."

"Ji! Yun! Zhou!!!"

Lin Xiaoqian was completely furious, and it seemed as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head in an instant!

She slammed the table and stood up, pointing her finger at Ji Yunzhou's nose, her fingertips trembling.

"I'm going to fight you today! Who's afraid of who? Let's settle our thousand-year-old scores together today!"

She turned her head sharply to look at Gu Yuan, who was trying hard to minimize his presence and suppress his laughter, and tried to win over allies:

"Little brat, let me tell you! Don't be fooled by his present appearance! He has a long and shady past! When he was a child..."

Gu Yuan: "..."

Little...little brat?

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

As expected, birds of a feather flock together.

For someone who has been friends with Ji Yunzhou for a thousand years, their speaking style is simply cut from the same mold...

They all deserve a beating.

Seeing that a battle of exposing each other's past secrets was about to break out between the old enemies, Gu Yuan looked at Ji Yunzhou, who seemed indifferent but actually had a slight smile in his eyes, and then looked at Lin Xiaoqian, who was so angry that she jumped up and down and had lost all her charm.

This picture... is so contrasting, and so... childish.

Is this how Ji Yunzhou developed his sharp tongue?

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

His smile was like the melting of ice and snow and the blooming of spring flowers, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

Ji Yunzhou and Lin Xiaoqian were both stunned and looked at him.

Gu Yuan quickly suppressed his laughter, his eyes curved as he whispered, "I'm sorry...but...you two are like elementary school students quarreling."

When I think of Ji Yunzhou tying the little snake into a knot and hanging it on the tree, it's really...

It's both outrageous and a little funny.

Ji Yunzhou looked at Gu Yuan's smile and his eyes softened.

Lin Xiaoqian's anger suddenly subsided. She sat down and muttered, "...Who wants to argue with a little kid like him?"

She looked at Gu Yuan's smile and suddenly understood why Ji Yunzhou was so special to this person.

There was no haze in the boy's eyes, they were as clean as a piece of white paper, and his smile could brighten people's hearts.

They are completely different from Ji Yunzhou, a guy whose heart is as black as ink.

This young man named Gu Yuan was like a ray of pure light, completely different from Ji Yunzhou's sinister nature. One bright, the other dark, yet strangely harmonious.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about those trivial things."

Lin Xiaoqian waved her hand and put on a smile again: "Xiao Yuanyuan, eat more quickly. You look so thin. If this guy bullies you in the future, just come to Sister Lin. Sister Lin will make you something delicious and tell you more about his dark history!"

Gu Yuan looked at Lin Xiaoqian, who had instantly become friendly and lovely, and glanced at Ji Yunzhou, whose face seemed to have darkened.

She smiled and nodded, then responded readily, "Okay, thank you, Sister Lin."

Ji Yunzhou closed his eyes speechlessly.

Sister Lin? ?

This damn girl is so arrogant and never wants to take advantage of others, right?

Old woman! You're over a thousand years old and you still have the nerve to act young and let people call you sister?

snort!

The meal continued in this slightly strange yet joyful atmosphere.

Lin Xiaoqian enthusiastically served food to Gu Yuan, and from time to time she would bring up some embarrassing things that Ji Yunzhou had done in the past. Ji Yunzhou did not tolerate her and refuted her venomously.

Gu Yuan ate the food Ji Yunzhou picked for him while listening to their bickering, his eyes sparkling.

I feel that this new world has become much more interesting and warmer.

Ji Yunzhou, looking at the long-lost relaxed smile on Gu Yuan's face and listening to his occasional small laughs, felt that being exposed occasionally seemed...

It's not something unbearable.

Of course, he will definitely settle this account with that long-tongued snake Lin Xiaoqian later.

For example, next time in front of Lin Xiaoqian’s boyfriend, talk about her glorious story of how she fell into a wine jar as a child because of her greed and soaked in it for three days, and when she came out, she was drunk and chased her own tail and bit it for the whole day.

Well, it’s a happy decision.

Ji Yunzhou drank his tea gracefully, a calculating glimmer flashing in his eyes.

Lin Xiaoqian, who was talking incessantly, suddenly felt a chill on her back and shivered.

It’s strange, the heating in the store is turned on very high?

She glanced suspiciously at Ji Yunzhou, who looked calm across from her, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition...
