Chapter 370 The Holy Son of Miao Territory Has Bewitched by the Villainous Cult Leader 08
Yu Sheng rested her chin on her hand, gazing at him with a smile, her eyes filled with love.
Yu Sheng's eyes were clear and pure. Gu Shixian only saw love in Yu Sheng's eyes, but he couldn't detect any other scheming.
If Yu Sheng's acting hadn't been so good, then his "love at first sight" would have been real.
Gu Shixian's fingertips trembled. He didn't know what to do in this situation.
If Yu Sheng was faking it, he could kick him out.
But Yu Sheng's demeanor didn't seem like she was faking it at all!
"Gu Shixian, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about me?"
Gu Shixian: !! How did you know?!
Yu Sheng naturally noticed his shock. "Of course, your expression has already told me everything. Are you curious as to why I fell in love with you at first sight?"
Gu Shixian nodded shyly.
"Naturally, it was because I was stunned by the way you killed people in your red dress. Besides, you're very good-looking, so you're a perfect match for me. Don't you think we're a great couple?"
Yu Sheng jumped out of bed, ran to Gu Shixian's side, and dragged him to the bronze mirror.
Gu Shixian nodded blankly.
"See? You've already agreed. And you're the leader of the Sun-Embracing Cult. Not only are you handsome and have a great physique, but you can also cook. I couldn't find a man like that even with a lantern, right?"
That was such a compliment that Gu Shixian was completely taken aback.
Although he felt a little ashamed, Gu Shixian agreed with Yu Sheng's words.
He had always known he was good-looking, but now, compared to Yu Sheng, he felt that his appearance paled in comparison.
"Gu Shixian, that's why I like you. Besides, you've already investigated me, haven't you? Of course you know I'm no good either. You're the ruthless leader of the Demonic Sect, and I'm the cruel and ruthless Holy Son of Miao Jiang. How well-matched we are!"
"Don't talk about yourself like that, you clearly..."
"What do you mean, 'clearly'?" Yu Sheng tilted her head back, staring intently at him, her gaze seemingly trying to bore a hole through Gu Shixian's face.
You're clearly a good person.
If you're not ruthless, how could you survive in that kind of environment?
"Gu Shixian, why did you stop talking? Are you... shy?"
"I don't!"
Gu Shixian spoke loudly without hesitation, almost startling Yu Sheng.
"If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you suddenly shouting like that?"
Gu Shixian kept his head down and remained silent. Strands of hair obscured the unfathomable look in his eyes. No one but himself knew what he was thinking.
"Alright, I see it's getting late, so I'll be going now."
Yu Sheng knew that this kind of thing had to be done step by step; it wouldn't be good to rush things.
He silently went behind the screen, put on his clothes, and then bid farewell to Gu Shixian.
Gu Shixian opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her to stay, but when he thought of what he had said yesterday that he would only take Yu Sheng in for one night, he did not continue to persuade her. Otherwise, how could he, the dignified leader of the Demonic Sect, save face?
However, Gu Shixian later realized that he had made a huge mistake.
Compared to his wife, face is naturally worthless.
"No, Master, you chased Madam away?" The Grand Elder appeared out of nowhere, watching Yu Sheng's departing figure and shaking his head.
"Master, no offense, but how can you turn your back on me after you've done your bidding?"
Gu Shixian was already in a bad mood, and after hearing the elder's words, he could no longer bear it.
Gu Shixian's voice was icy, his gaze fixed on the Grand Elder. "Grand Elder, you've been talking far too much lately..."
The elder looked up at the sky and down at the ground, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a lovely day!"
"Master, I won't bother you any longer," the Grand Elder said, and vanished in a flash.
Gu Shixian looked in the direction Yu Sheng had left, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Throughout the journey, 888 kept complaining about Gu Shixian.
"Gu Shixian is such a jerk, Sheng Sheng. If you ask me, he should be taught a little lesson. How dare he kick our Sheng Sheng down the mountain? Does he not want a wife anymore?"
888 encouraged Yu Sheng to stir up trouble, exaggerating and criticizing Gu Shixian from beginning to end.
"But then again, going down the mountain so quickly isn't like you. I thought you'd try to stay and not leave!"
"Sometimes pushing too hard can backfire. Give him some time, and he'll figure things out on his own."
"You know what, you really can't believe it, it's really true! Someone can't keep up their stubbornness for more than a few days!"
Based on his past behavior, he couldn't hold back for more than a few days.
Yu Sheng returned to the inn by the same route, only to be blocked at the door by Miao Jiang as soon as he got back.
Miao Jiang crossed her arms, holding a long sword in front of her chest. When she saw Yu Sheng return, she lifted her eyelids slightly and said in a low voice, "The Holy Son has finally returned."
"Hmm, Miao Jiang, you don't seem surprised that I came back."
Miao Jiang didn't answer his question, but instead asked him, "I heard that the Holy Son said he went to find his sweetheart? Did the Holy Son find her?"
"Of course we found it."
"Holy Son, do you know that we are here to take Saintess Wanxi back to Miao territory, not..."
“Miao Jiang, I think you’ve misunderstood something,” Yu Sheng interrupted him, emphasizing, “Bringing Wanxi back to Miao territory was never my mission, it was yours. I never agreed to get involved in Wanxi’s mess. What I want to do is none of anyone else’s business.”
"Especially those few from Miao territory. I am the Holy Son of Miao territory. Do I have to report to them when I do things? Miao Jiang, think carefully. Whose side are you on?"
"You can relay my words to the elders and remember to withdraw all the guards. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't accidentally kill the guards that the elders have worked so hard to train."
Miao Jiang lowered her head and watched Yu Sheng return to her room.
After Yu Sheng returned to his room, he withdrew the guards around the inn.
"Holy Son, you're back?" A-Lu put her hands behind her back, looked behind Yu Sheng, and then looked away with some disappointment.
"Ah-Lu, what are you looking for?"
"Of course I'm looking for your sweetheart, Holy Son! I thought you would bring your sweetheart back with you!"
Yu Sheng smiled and shook her head. "He's a bit shy. He'll come looking for me in a while."
"Then, Holy Son... is your beloved Gu Shixian, the leader of the Sun-Holding Cult?" Azi whispered in his ear.
Yu Sheng was somewhat surprised.
How did this little girl know that the "future husband" he was talking about was Gu Shixian?
"Isn't that simple? He's the most handsome man in all of Jiangnan, and the most compatible with you, Holy Son. Although the two of us can't catch up with you, the direction you left was exactly the direction of Red Lotus Manor. At the same time, news spread that Red Lotus Manor was massacred by the Sun-Eating Cult. Anyone with a brain knows who the Holy Son's beloved is."
Miao Jiang: So you're saying I'm brainless?
