"Miss? You mean?"
Gu Yuan turned his head and looked at Chi Yuer lying on the bed.
"Yes, she is my young lady." The old man said lightly.
"So, everything you did just now was just a joke?" Gu Yuan asked unhappily. The pain in his body made him grin.
"You are quite a kindhearted boy. What you just did was just a punishment for what you did before. If the young lady hadn't been seriously injured and unable to take medicine on her own, based on what you just did, hum!"
The old man looked at Gu Yuan and snorted coldly.
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what the old man was talking about.
"Um...it turns out that senior has been here all the time..." Gu Yuan asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"What else? How can I feel at ease leaving my young lady here alone?" said the old man.
"Ahem... What I did before was not my intention. The fish was seriously injured and couldn't take medicine, so I..."
"Okay, okay, I know! That's why you can still stand here and talk to me!" The old man waved his hand and said.
Gu Yuan scratched his head. The feeling of being caught doing something bad didn’t seem very good.
"Then, Senior, I'll leave this place to you. I'll be leaving first."
Gu Yuan said that since she was Chi Yuer's subordinate, there would definitely be no problem.
"You guy, aren't you afraid that I'm lying? What if I want to harm her?" asked the old man.
"Hehe, senior is a powerful spiritual master. What am I, a mere spiritual master? Moreover, although Yu'er has a good cultivation level, he has no ability to fight anymore. If senior really wants to harm us, just do it directly. Why bother with this!" Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"snort!"
The old man snorted softly, his attitude becoming slightly more agreeable. He said, "You should take care of this place. Take good care of my young lady. The power she used this time has exceeded her body's tolerance. I'll give you these pills. Give her one every day. Use your spiritual energy to help dissolve the damage. You don't need to use that method anymore!"
The old man took out a jade bottle and handed it to Gu Yuan.
After hearing what the old man said, Gu Yuan couldn't help but blush and said quickly: "Yes, senior, I understand."
The old man nodded, then walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
"Senior, is there anything else?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing I want to remind you. You're just a mere spiritual master, while my young lady is a peerless genius who has already become a Spirit Emperor at a young age. I admit that you were indeed quite impressive in the past, but now, your status is not equal to hers. So I advise you, if you have any thoughts about my family, then practice hard. At the very least, you'll have to become a Spirit Emperor before you'll have the slightest qualification. Otherwise, you're not worthy!"
After saying this, the old man disappeared.
"What?"
Gu Yuan frowned, not understanding what the old man meant at all.
"And what do you mean by admitting that I was indeed remarkable in the past? Could it be that you knew me before? Or was the me before I was unable to cultivate even more awesome than I am now?"
Gu Yuan was a little confused.
However, Gu Yuan also roughly understood the meaning of the following words. Could it be that he thought he liked fish?
Gu Yuan shook his head. Chi Yu'er was very beautiful, but he wasn't someone who was attracted by beauty. He did have feelings for Chi Yu'er, but that feeling couldn't be considered love...
Gu Yuan himself didn't understand it either. Maybe it was just the man's nature when he met a beautiful woman.
Shaking his head, Gu Yuan sat on the chair, swallowed a few pills, and then urged the pills to dissolve in his body.
"You old bastard, you hurt me pretty badly, but it was just a few kisses, not just you!"
Of course, he only dared to say these words in his heart. After all, there was no guarantee that the guy had not left at all!
After taking the pill, Gu Yuan felt a slight warmth starting to appear at his injured part. It seemed that his injury was slowly recovering.
Walking to the bed, Gu Yuan stopped the still sleeping Chi Yu'er and wanted to touch her cheek, but stopped himself and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the Demon Emperor would have done something terrible here. I just don't know what's going on in Giant Stone City, and I don't know if the little witch and Senior Hammer Emperor are safe."
Gu Yuan was a little worried. Although this place was far away from Giant Stone City, for a Spirit Emperor, it would not take long to get here unless there was an emergency. Chi Yuer was unconscious now, so Gu Yuan couldn't help but worry about the safety of both of them.
"Forget it. I don't have any other options right now, and I can't leave. I'll just practice here in peace."
Gu Yuan sat down cross-legged and took out all the resources he needed. After this consumption, these were all Gu Yuan's assets, and there were not many gold coins left.
After all, the value of a seventh-grade elixir is still quite high, and combined with the materials I had previously obtained from the Third Master, I was able to barely meet the conditions for the exchange.
"It seems that after this incident is over, I really need to find an opportunity to open a store in the black market. Otherwise, I don't have the resources and the system will be useless."
Gu Yuan secretly made up his mind and decided to put the opening of a store on the agenda.
"My skills and spiritual abilities have been upgraded to the fourth-grade level through my training over the past few days. My actual combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. I think I won't have any problems fighting a fourth-grade spiritual master."
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited. The fourth-grade spiritual skills and techniques, plus the terrifying spiritual skills such as the Mountain Breaking Slash and the Flame Palm in Gu Yuan's hands, and Gu Yuan also had two spiritual veins. Facing the enemy was like having two of himself, two against one, which was a huge advantage in every way.
"Practice!"
Gu Yuan closed his eyes and absorbed the power from the demon core in his hand bit by bit.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
During these seven days, Gu Yuan didn't even go out. He stayed by Chi Yuer's side, wiping her face from time to time. He spent the rest of the time practicing.
After this training, Gu Yuan miraculously broke through two levels and became a second-level spiritual master.
While feeling happy and excited, Gu Yuan's heart was also getting heavy.
First of all, Chi Yuer still hasn't woken up after seven days. It seems that she is seriously injured. Gu Yuan doesn't have the resources to exchange for pills anymore, but fortunately, the old man left behind a lot of pills. Chi Yuer's breath gradually calmed down, and it was only a matter of time before she woke up.
Therefore, Gu Yuan was not very worried about Chi Yuer's safety. What Gu Yuan was most worried about during these seven days was the little witch and the Hammer King in Boulder City.
It has been seven whole days. Even if something happened over there, it should have ended long ago. But until now, the little witch has not come to find me, which means that something must have happened.
