Chapter 235 Testing
"There will definitely be something to collect. Even if you don't use it for alchemy, it will still be a valuable item to exchange later. So unless it's absolutely necessary, not a single piece of the spoils will be wasted."
Hearing Lou Xiaoyu say that, Gu Qing couldn't wait any longer. She quickly tidied herself up and got up. "I'll go wash up and then go find the bamboo slips. You eat, I won't eat."
Just as he was about to leave, Lou Xiaoyu pulled him back. "What's the rush? We're not setting off right away. Eating won't take up much time. But you've forgotten what Jin Beiwang said: to eat more energy-rich foods and less satiating pills."
"Okay, then you have to let go of me, I need to go wash up."
"Okay, as long as you don't jeopardize your health or put yourself in a dangerous situation, anything else is fine," Lou Xiaoyu said, seemingly very generous, as she spread her hands.
Gu Qing wanted to tease him when she saw him showing off, "Do you really think so?" She turned around and tilted her head to ask him.
Lou Xiaoyu didn't know what was so questionable about it, so she simply nodded.
A cunning glint flashed in Gu Qing's eyes. She quietly took two small steps back, curled her lips into a sweet and harmless smile, and then uttered words as sharp as a poisoned knife, piercing Lou Xiaoyi's heart.
"Since you agree to everything, then it shouldn't be a problem for me to find two more lovers, right?" She nodded as she said this.
Lou Xiaoyu's smiling face froze instantly upon hearing these words, and she gritted her teeth as she said, "Gu Qing, if you say that again, I'll make you die in bed."
As he was about to take a step forward, Gu Qing gave him a provocative look, turned around, lifted the curtain, and went out.
Lou Xiaoyu heard intermittent sounds coming from outside, then took a deep breath, her expression slowly calming down, and then she smiled, lifted the tent flap and went out.
As soon as she went outside, she saw Qi Bai standing next to Gu Qing, taking care of her washing up. Lou Xiaoyu almost lost control of her expression, but finally gritted her teeth and walked over.
"Qi Bai is about to leave. Don't you need to prepare? I can handle things here. You can go ahead and get busy!" His tone was calm, but only he knew that he wanted to kill this man.
Gu Qing knew he was referring to what they had just said, and not wanting to cause a conflict, she smiled and turned around, "Xiao Yu, did you come to have dinner with me?"
Lou Xiaoyu turned around and stared at her intently for a moment before nodding. "Yes, didn't you say you were going to look for bamboo slips after you finished eating?"
Gu Qing walked over, took his arm, and headed towards the tent. "What's wrong? Are you really angry? I was just teasing you, and you took it seriously."
Was she teasing him? Part of it was! Another part was to prepare for her return to the capital.
Lou Xiaoyu let out a long sigh, "Qingqing, I don't take it seriously. Then please don't say things like that next time, it makes me feel bad."
Gu Qing didn't answer his question directly, but instead hugged his arm tighter and said, "Xiaoyu, are you feeling bad? It really breaks my heart. It's all my fault. Why don't you punish me?"
Not to mention that Lou Xiaoyu is much older than Gu Qing, there's also the complicated interpersonal relationships of his mother's large family and the upbringing of his father's family. His mind, which had been clouded by love before, seems to have become much clearer all of a sudden.
Looking down and meeting Gu Qing's gaze, who was looking up, he saw those bright, clear eyes, and his previously clear mind seemed to be bewitched again.
"Then show me some love and care, and I won't feel bad anymore." Lou Xiaoyu gave up struggling very easily.
"Okay, I feel sorry for you, brother." Gu Qing pulled him to sit at the dining table and kissed him. "I feel sorry for you too when you're in pain."
After the two finished eating, Lou Xiaoyu went out to clean up, while Gu Qing went to find the bamboo slips. As a result, she ended up in front of Sun Mo's tent after being directed there.
Seeing her approach, Sun Mo greeted her, "Qingqing, you're here."
"Yes, it's perfect that Sister Sun and Zhujian are both here. I have something to tell you."
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhu Jian was quite anxious about dealing with the half-lotus, but she still greeted Gu Qing with a smile.
"It's nothing, I just thought of a way to process Lobelia chinensis." Before Gu Qing could explain in detail, the two of them quickly stepped forward.
"What method?"
"What method did you use? Did you try it? What were the results?"
The two spoke in unison, their tone urgent. Zhu Jian looked at her with a gleam in her eyes.
