Chapter 140 The End of Cause and Effect

"That year, I spent a lot of effort to finally convince it to stay and recuperate, and I also found that it understands human nature very well."

Knowing that he would not hurt it even if he was injured, it never showed its claws to him again.

Later, when he practiced martial arts, it watched him from the tree.

When he slept, it would sleep on the roof and keep watch.

Gu Yunhai really thought about keeping it like this forever, so he specially customized this silver bracelet for it.

Cheng Huang refused to accept it at first and bared his teeth at him several times.

Gu Yunhai understood what it meant.

It does not accept being kept in captivity.

Gu Yunhai knew that it could understand human language, so he explained to it, "This bracelet is not for you to recognize its master, but a gift. When you wear it, those who want to arrest you will see the mark on your bracelet that says that you belong to me, the Loyal and Brave Lord, and they will not dare to touch you at all."

After much persuasion, it finally accepted this "gift from the gods".

"Originally, I had already found a mountain to release it after its injuries healed, but I didn't expect those people who were eager to take credit would still set their sights on it."

On the day he released it, the official tricked it to a lake in his name and told it.

He arranged everything.

Pretend to let it go, then tell them its weakness of being afraid of water, so that they can capture it and present it to the new emperor.

Gu Yunhai will never forget the moment when he and his men arrived and saw Liujin being forced into the lake by a group of people and struggling helplessly, but the pair of golden eyes were still staring at him coldly.

That look seemed to be questioning his betrayal.

Later, it struggled to break through the siege, but the group saw the situation was not good and directly ignited the forest fire.

The last time Gu Yunhai saw the gilded creature was when it dived into the forest filled with flames, covered in blood.

"I sent people to search the Jiaolin ruins for a long time, but they only found some charred animal carcasses, but never found it."

When Gu Yunhai said this, he couldn't help but close his eyes, his expression showing a bit of regret.

"It never showed up again. I thought, even if it's not dead, it must hate me."

Si Linglong looked at the annoyance in General Gu's eyes, pursed her lips, and said after a while, "If you think so, then you are underestimating it."

Lord Cheng Huang is no ordinary fox.

Monsters that are worthy of the name of ancient, such as her brother Ba, are far more wise than ordinary people.

How could we really be deceived by the words of mere human beings?

Over the past thousands of years, only a handful of humans have seen ancient monsters. This is because monsters are different from mountain spirits. If they have too much contact with humans, it is easy for them to incur karmic consequences.

The day Gu Yunhai rescued Cheng Huang, Cheng Huang already owed him a cause and effect. That group of people set fire to the mountain and burned the rare birds in the forest. It was an evil they committed, but it was also the beginning of Gu Yunhai's rescue of it.

Cheng Huang stayed away from him and even stopped seeing him, because he didn't want the cause and effect between the two of them to get bigger and bigger.

"If it hated you, it wouldn't have come to me when it sensed that you didn't have much time left, and wouldn't have risked its life to get the immortal fruit to save your life. This shows that in its heart, the wildfire didn't count as repayment for your saving it, but today."

Returning this silver bracelet will be a sign that it has ended this cause and effect.

Among all these, apart from the reason of repaying karma, how much affection Lord Cheng Huang also had for him was probably only known by Cheng Huang himself.

Gu Yunhai seemed to feel guilty when listening to Si Linglong's words. After a long while, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then knelt on the couch and bowed to her solemnly.

"Your Highness's words have relieved the gloom in my heart. If Your Highness has the opportunity to see it again, can you say a word for me?"

Si Linglong asked him, "What?"

Gu Yunhai smiled and said, "Under the tree in the backyard of the old house in Haizhou, I buried a few jars of fine wine for it. If I have the chance in this life, I would like to drink with it again."

Si Linglong was stunned when she heard what Gu Yunhai said.

There is only one thought in my mind.

[Such a cool and arrogant Huang actually likes to drink! 】

[Also, would a normal person let a fox drink alcohol? ! ]
