Chapter 404 The Past of Lanling (Part 10)
Gu Shiqi was the seventeenth girl to be created; all the previous ones had failed because they all had hearts.
Thus, Daojun deprived Gu Shiqi of her seven emotions and six desires, but forgot that even without seven emotions and six desires, the girl still had obsessions, just like himself.
He couldn't bear to see the girl living the same life as him, so he sent her to the mortal world, hoping that she would develop a heart of love. But unexpectedly, instead of love, she developed ambition.
Gu Yan sighed again.
"Ha, why should he? He didn't even ask me if I wanted this kind of life before leaving me behind on his own. I don't want to."
Gu Shiqi threw down the melon seeds and sneered, looking like a rebellious girl arguing with her father.
Gu Yanjing remained silent, watching Gu Shiqi act drunk and disorderly.
The demon realm must have won a small victory. Three days later, Qianyan and Lu Lingjun returned one after the other.
Lu Lingjun didn't alert anyone and went directly to Gu Yanjing.
It was afternoon, and Gu Yanjing was taking a nap on a recliner, with a book covering her face and a blanket draped over her body.
Lu Lingjun didn't wake him up. Instead, he moved a chair to the side and sat down to look at the official documents from the clan that he had brought with him. He waited for an hour.
Gu Yanjing finally woke up and, still half asleep, saw Lu Lingjun sitting next to her. Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest in fright.
Damn, thank goodness Gu Shiqi taught me how to cover books, otherwise I would have been caught red-handed right now.
The young prince took a deep breath, his heart pounding as he took the book down, rolled it up, and stuffed it into his storage ring.
"What kind of book are you reading? Something shameful?" Lu Lingjun noticed Gu Yanjing's actions out of the corner of his eye and raised an eyebrow.
This little scheme of hers is impossible to hide.
"Ah, Lingjun, you're back so fast! How's the war in the Demon Realm?" Gu Yanjing blinked, trying to appear calm.
He's innocent; he did nothing.
"It's alright, we won. My father led the immortals to kill 30,000 demon soldiers from the demon realm. The demon realm probably won't come out again for about half a month, so I can come back and breathe a sigh of relief." Lu Lingjun also took the opportunity to change the subject.
As children grow up, they always need some space of their own.
Or rather, these are things that his little prince should always understand, but he shouldn't be the one to initiate them.
"That's good. Come on, I'll go pick up Brother Lingjun and have a welcome dinner." Gu Yan stood up with a smile, grabbed Lu Lingjun's sleeve, and pulled him downstairs.
Meanwhile, Gu Shiqi had already taken Qianyan out.
Lovers will always reunite after being separated.
"Qiqi, look, this lantern..." Qianyan picked up a rabbit lantern, turned around, and found that the girl's previous smile had completely disappeared.
"Seventeen, I..." Qianyan realized she had spoken out of turn and wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything to defend herself.
Gu Shiqi suppressed his lips: "The first time you saw me, you were kneeling outside the gate of the Heavenly Palace. At that time, when you saw me, your eyes were full of starlight and admiration. However, you called me Qiqi. I am very curious, does that Qiqi really look that much like me?"
Qianyan opened her mouth, "I'm not..."
Gu Shiqi interrupted him directly: "Qianyan, can you still tell the difference between me as Gu Shiqi and the Gu Qiqi in your memory?"
Without a word of reply, Gu Shiqi continued to ask him questions.
"Do you admire the Gu Qiqi of your memory, or the me standing in front of you now?"
