"Minions, wash that handsome young man clean, change him into his wedding clothes, and send him into my cave."
"Master, I will do it right away."
Gingerbread twitched its eyelids and slowly opened its eyes.
A woman's alluring voice reached my ears.
They were successfully captured by the bewitching beauty.
It was pitch black in front of her, so she had to stretch out her arm and grope around, her palm touching something warm and cool.
Then a muffled groan was heard.
The thing under Gingerbread’s feet started to move, and he hurriedly reached out to grab whatever was within reach.
Not long.
A boy's voice, filled with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, rang out.
"You've got me."
Fen Jue raised his slender fingers and pinched the gingerbread that was rolling around in his arms. "It's me, stop fussing."
Gingerbread stopped kicking its legs.
Soon, light returned to their eyes.
The magnified beauty of the burning is right before your eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, her gaze meeting his phoenix eyes. Feeling guilty, she looked away and turned to look at her surroundings.
A typical hotel room.
The difference is that the windows and doors of the room are covered with Gu worms.
Red candles burned on the round table.
The room was dimly lit, and the air was filled with an unknown and decadent fragrance.
It's a very common scent.
"Go find Xie Xinglan and Liu Zheng," Fen Jue said to Jiang Bingbing as she turned around. "I don't know where Liu Zheng is being held."
"And the people of Qixia Town."
"I'll hold off the Gu Beauty, you go save them."
End of message.
He gently stroked the top of Gingerbread's head with his fingertips, his tone unusually gentle, "Can you do that?"
She looked up, her thoughts drifting into his deep pupils.
It took me a few seconds to realize what was happening.
She quickly nodded, blushing, "Yes, I can."
"Be careful in everything you do, and don't be reckless." He seemed to see right through Gingerbread's willingness to risk his life for his fellow disciple.
"Don't forget how important you are."
The boy's clear voice uttered words that struck straight to her soul. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she gave a soft "hmm."
Fenjue gently placed her on the ground.
"You have more ways to protect yourself than I do. Remember to stick on your concealment talisman so the Gu worms don't find you."
"I know, stop nagging." Gingerbread wiped his red nose and slapped the talisman on.
Fen Jue noticed that she had also attached a speed-up talisman.
The gingerbread, about the size of a broad bean, ran away, its short legs seemingly ready to send sparks flying.
Fen Jue's thin lips curved into a smile, his slightly upturned eyes shimmering with light, the corners of his eyes tinged with crimson.
At this time,
There was a knock on the door.
"My lord, are you awake? Our master has sent us to help you bathe and change your clothes."
Fen Jue turned his eyes to the doorway and said coldly, "Come in."
His tone was full of murderous intent.
...
On the other side.
Gingerbread avoided those disgusting, worm-like parasites.
She is too young now.
The restaurant has five floors and countless rooms. If I search for each room one by one, how long will it take?
Gingerbread used all its strength to climb up the railing.
Looking down at the entire restaurant.
There were two maids guarding the stairwell on the first floor.
She was on the third floor.
Gingerbread jumped off the railing, waving its arms, and rolled more than a dozen times before finally stopping after hitting the wall.
"Mom, my head hurts so much. Things that are usually so easy are now so difficult when they become small."
I almost lost half my life jumping over a hurdle.
I didn't have time to think about those things.
Gingerbread ran to the top of the stairs on the third floor and looked down at the steep steps.
Touching my slightly sore buttocks.
I spotted the smooth stair railing.
Gingerbread had a sudden inspiration. It huffed and puffed as it climbed up the handrail and slid down like it was on a slide.
The two maids were chatting.
"Do you think the handsome young man we caught today won't upset the beauty like the one we caught yesterday?"
"That's what the maid next to me said."
"He'd better be sensible, otherwise he'll suffer the consequences himself, and we'll all be sucked blood by the Gu worms."
"I hope so." The maid breathed a sigh of relief. "The young man last night was handsome, but not as good-looking as this one today. I only caught a glimpse of him when they carried him upstairs."
"Even a god isn't as good-looking as him."
Gingerbread: Xiao Jue's beauty is beyond doubt.
"Maybe he's so handsome that a beautiful woman might spare his life. Hey, why didn't that young man die yesterday?"
"He is, after all, a Nascent Soul cultivator. The beauty said she wants to keep him and enjoy him properly, so that the precious Gu worm can absorb a little bit every day."
"Oh, what a pity for such a handsome young man."
"You wait a moment, I'll go get some food."
"Go ahead and don't worry, sister."
The maid left, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.
Gingerbread was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks. The Nascent Soul Realm cultivator that the maid mentioned must be Xie Xinglan.
She spun around in place, when suddenly an idea came to her.
Gingerbread huddled in the corner of the stairs and said in a high-pitched voice, "I'll go get the food later."
"By the way, little sister, where is that handsome young man being held? I'd like to go and admire him sometime."
Without turning her head, the maid yawned and replied, "The room on the second floor, around the corner—"
At this point, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
The maid turned around, but there was no one behind her.
Am I hallucinating?
"Sigh, I'm probably just too tired these past few days."
She leaned against the stair railing, pretending to doze off.
Gingerbread scurried like a little spinning top to the door of the room at the corner of the stairs.
"Eat it or not, it's none of your business. A prisoner shouldn't be picky about food. What kind of elite from the immortal sects are you? You're nothing but food for my master's precious Gu worms."
A maid huffed and puffed as she pushed the door open and came out.
She didn't notice when she closed the door that something the size of a broad bean had slipped inside.
