Old Yuan twirled the ash between his fingers, his face filled with surprise and uncertainty. "You're really not dead?"
He stammered, "You were struck by lightning, how come you didn't die?"
Gu Guanhai: "!!!"
She turned her head and glared at him angrily.
"I'm not dead!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "When you dragged me into the cave, you made me bump into rocks several times. Do you think I didn't know?"
Old Yuan: ……
Is that true?
He was so focused on finding a place to shelter from the rain for Old Gu's "corpse" that he didn't think about anything else.
Gu Guanhai: "Next time you determine whether someone is dead or not, can you please not rely solely on your intuition?"
"You should at least check my breathing!"
"I'm still breathing! Just pretend I'm dead!"
"Was the spiritual spring water you were welded onto your body? I was electrocuted so badly my internal organs were smoking, and you didn't even offer me a sip?"
"..."
Old Yuan: "!!!"
His lips twitched slightly.
He thought he was dead.
Who would feed a dead person spiritual spring water?
Although I was severely criticized, but...
Thankfully, Lao Gu is alright!
Old Yuan wore a fawning smile.
"My fault! My fault."
He said, "Next time! Next time, even if you're a dead bum, I'll still feed you some water!"
Gu Guanhai: "!!"
Stare at him.
"You son of a bitch, you thought I was dead, and you still haven't forgotten to take revenge on me!"
"My wife is no one you need to take care of, understand?"
Old Yuan nodded vigorously.
"I've got it! I've got it."
"Don't worry, it's not my place to take care of your wife. If anything were to happen to you, countless people would be eager to help you take care of her!"
Gu Guanhai: "!!!"
I had just come back to life when I almost got so angry that I died.
but.
It was a false alarm.
The guards and bodyguards standing near the cave entrance breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the commotion inside.
Thankfully, Commander Gu is alright!
If anything were to happen to Chief Gu, not only would they be unable to explain it, but even Mr. Yuan would likely be unable to do so.
After the noise subsided.
Silence returned to the cave.
Ignoring the bones scattered all around them, the three began to discuss the day's events.
Old Yuan: "The lightning came out strangely, it looked a lot like divine punishment."
Yu Mingxiang: "I told you, my adopted daughter is someone who defies the heavens, but you just don't believe me!"
Old Yuan: "!!!"
He tilted his head and looked at Yu Mingxiang, frowning as he said, "I'm serious, you have no idea how rare it is to meet someone born against all odds!"
"Rather than believe that your adopted daughter is someone born against the heavens, I'd rather believe that the lightning just now was Old Gu's punishment for being late in forcing a marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang chuckled.
She sneered and looked at him, saying, "Since you don't believe me, then go ahead and kill Qin Yuzhu!"
"Just you wait and see, whether you get struck by lightning or not, you're finished!"
Old Yuan: ……
He glanced at Gu Guanhai, whose head was covered in dust, and his old face twitched slightly.
He dares not!
The probability of surviving a lightning strike is extremely small.
He can't afford to gamble.
"hehe."
He chuckled awkwardly and said, "Well, let's wait until the rain stops, then we can discuss this further! Let's discuss it further!"
Yu Mingxiang: ...
She glanced at him and sneered, "Heh!"
"By the time the rain stopped, she had vanished without a trace!"
"I've already let her slip through my fingers once, I can't let her slip through my fingers a second time!"
With that, Yu Mingxiang got up and walked out of the cave.
Gu Guanhai and Lao Yuan exclaimed in surprise: "!!!"
His expression immediately changed drastically.
Where are you going?
"..."
The two asked in unison.
Yu Mingxiang: "I'm going to kill her."
