After an unknown amount of time, the madam finally came out. She slowly walked towards Gu Qingze, but her expression was much more respectful than before.
Her eyes also changed from looking at a "valuable item" to looking at a "valuable and highly valued item."
Although there is not much difference between the two...it still makes Gu Qingze curious about the reason for the change.
"Come with me."
"Oh, okay." When Gu Qingze heard the madam's words, he seemed to come back to his senses, and his originally dull eyes lit up instantly.
The madam looked at him foolishly, with a look of confusion in her eyes, but Gu Qingze couldn't tell what she didn't understand for the time being.
He just followed her, step by step.
I originally thought that the madam would guide him throughout the journey, but unexpectedly she stopped at the door of the palace.
"You can walk the rest of the way on your own."
The madam sighed and said.
"But I don't know what to do next." Gu Qingze was stunned. After he reacted, he told the truth.
By the way, I secretly reminded her that even if she didn't lead the way in person, she should at least tell me the way verbally. It would be even better if she could have a map.
Unexpectedly, the madam seemed not to understand his hint and said something very confusing in a meaningful way.
"You'll know once you get in."
Gu Qingze was even more confused, "You will know naturally"... What does this mean?
Is it possible that non-existent memories will appear in my mind?
Or maybe the chief courtesan's room is particularly conspicuous and can be seen at a glance?
Could it be that the chief courtesan had already come out to greet him personally?! Hmm... that was probably impossible. After all, the chief courtesan would not easily show up in order to maintain her secrecy.
Which case would that be?
The thoughts in Gu Qingze's mind became increasingly outrageous. Just when he was about to ask another question, he discovered that the madam had disappeared without a trace.
How strange, he didn't even notice it at all!
After all, he was an immortal cultivator in the late Jindan stage. Even if he had been distracted just now, he wouldn't have been unaware of such a huge living monster disappearing right before his eyes.
The madam is clearly only at the foundation-building stage, so it's impossible for her to... Could it be because of this strange underground structure, or something else...
Gu Qingze shook his head slightly. No matter what, he had to enter this palace, right?
Let’s go in and talk about it first.
Thinking this, he stepped in tentatively.
There was a thin layer of mist in the palace, making it difficult to see clearly.
Gu Qingze walked forward cautiously, his heart beating faster unconsciously.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only his footsteps echoing in the empty palace.
As he walked, he found a long and dark passage in front of him. Faint lights flickered on the walls on both sides of the passage, as if guiding him forward.
Gu Qingze took a deep breath and quickened his pace as he walked into the passage.
As he went deeper, the light became stronger and stronger, and the doubts in his heart grew more and more.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a tightly closed door appeared at the end of the passage.
There were complex and mysterious patterns carved on the door, and Gu Qingze's pupils dilated slightly.
He seemed to understand what the madam said, that he would know where it was once he entered the palace.
Those patterns seemed to have magic, attracting him to come closer unconsciously.
When he came to his senses, he had already walked to the door and his entire right hand had touched the patterns.
Just when he was about to let go of his hands that were touching the patterns, a strange force suddenly came from his fingertips, making him feel numb and tingling, just like a low electric current.
“Crackle, crackle—”
Just when Gu Qingze was hesitating whether to open the door.
The door hinge suddenly turned with a slow and difficult sound, and the door was pulled open little by little, revealing a hint of unknown breath.
"Come in."
A sweet female voice came leisurely, and as if she noticed his embarrassment, she added seriously.
"Don't worry, I'm very gentle and won't kill you."
Ah this?! It’s better not to say it...
Gu Qingze complained in his heart, but still responded and slowly walked into the room.
It was almost the same as what Jinnian's younger brother had described before. There was something like a curtain separating half of the room.
Looking at the figure vaguely visible through the curtain, if nothing unexpected happens, that figure should be the chief courtesan.
Gu Qingze slowly sat down, facing the figure across the curtain.
"Ahaha, this time it's a shy little sister~"
The voice was light and cheerful, like a child discovering a new toy.
"But since you're able to see me, it means you're the top performer this month, so you must be quite capable. Could it be that you're not being shy, but...playing hard to resist, playing hard to get?"
"If that's the case, then you're truly adept at controlling male demons. Appropriately displaying your own fragility can actually further arouse their desire to protect you."
"It seems that you, sister, are truly worthy of the top spot in performance."
After that, the voice sighed again, "It's a pity that I don't have any experience to share with my sister to help her improve in this area. After all, her current condition is already perfect."
Gu Qingze listened to her words, wanting to speak but stopping himself, not knowing what to say, so he just listened to her patiently.
During this time, listening to her say such a long string of words continuously, a trace of inexplicable pity arose in my heart.
Part of his memory was sealed, and he spent most of his time in this strange-looking palace. Seeing that he had been talking non-stop since he started watching, he must be very lonely, so he became unusually excited when someone came.
Thinking about it this way, the chief courtesan is quite pitiful...
The chief courtesan, who knew nothing about his inner thoughts, continued to talk and judge him in every aspect, just like a "teacher" giving grades.
