Chapter 50 Deadlock
When Ji Yunzhou opened the door, the setting sun just happened to shine through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the living room.
He immediately saw Gu Yuan curled up on the sofa.
Gu Yuan was sleeping soundly, breathing lightly and without making any sound.
He sank completely into the soft cushions.
Like a quiet sleeping beauty.
Ji Yunzhou unconsciously slowed down his pace and even his breathing.
In fact, it was still early. It was just that Gu Yuan's body had been asleep for too long and its functions had just recovered, so it was easily tired.
What's more, he drew a lot of talismans today.
"She's still cute when she's asleep..."
Ji Yunzhou whispered silently, tenderness in his eyes.
When Gu Yuan is sober, he is like a cat with claws, easily getting angry.
Still so silly...
He squatted beside the sofa and watched quietly for a long time.
But you can't go to bed hungry.
We agreed this morning to take him out for dinner, so I can’t just let it go like this.
Not eating is not good for Gu Yuan's current health.
Ji Yunzhou moved very gently. He leaned over, carefully putting one hand behind Gu Yuan's neck and the other hand through his knee.
Afraid of disturbing the sleep of the person in my arms.
Gu Yuan moaned unconsciously in his sleep, tilted his head, and naturally found a more comfortable position, leaning against Ji Yunzhou's chest, even rubbing against him.
Ji Yunzhou's heart felt as if it was suddenly hit by something soft and felt a little numb.
He froze for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and continuing to exert force to pick the person up steadily.
The weight in his arms was very light, so light that it made him frown. He still had to give him some good nourishment.
He carefully placed Gu Yuan in the passenger seat, lowered the seat back, and carefully fastened the seat belt.
During the whole process, Gu Yuan's eyelashes just trembled, but he did not wake up.
Ji Yunzhou then walked around to the driver's seat and started the car.
The black Cullinan glided silently into the night, driving extremely smoothly.
The car finally stopped in front of a small courtyard deep in a quiet alley.
There was only a dim lantern hanging at the door with the words "Linshe" written on it, which was simple and elegant.
Ji Yunzhou used the same posture again, carefully carried Gu Yuan out, and walked into the courtyard.
As soon as the bamboo curtain of the private room was lifted, a female voice with a teasing smile rang out.
"Hey? Did the sun rise from the west today? Or am I dazzled? Isn't this our Lord Ji the Ghost King?"
The proprietress, Lin Xiaoqian, was leaning against the counter, cracking some sunflower seeds. "Why, that precious thing in your arms is... Oh—could it be that little wife you've been hiding for two years, afraid she'd melt in your mouth, afraid she'd drop in your hands?"
When she saw Ji Yunzhou's careful posture in holding the baby, her eyes lit up instantly.
It's like discovering a new world.
She is a snake demon who has practiced for thousands of years. She has a graceful figure and her eyes carry a lazy yet dangerous charm.
I've known Ji Yunzhou for a thousand years, but this is the first time I've seen him care so much about someone.
This is so rare!
Back then...
Uh, never mind, these are just embarrassing things that are hard to recall.
Lin Xiaoqian braked in time, but the mocking look on her face became even stronger.
Ji Yunzhou glanced at her warningly, his eyes were cold and he clearly said: If you don't want to be tied up in a bow on the spot, shut your mouth immediately.
"Your voice is so loud, it seems you can talk? Can't you see you are sleeping?"
Ji Yunzhou lowered his voice, the disgust in his tone almost solidifying into reality.
“…”
Lin Xiaoqian's mouth twitched, and her pretty face almost couldn't maintain that charming expression.
Bringing this up again!
Some people are really just dogs no matter whether they are human or ghost!
It’s not a good product either!
Memories that had been buried for thousands of years attacked her in an instant.
That was a long, long time ago. Ji Yunzhou was still a talented cultivator who lived on the top of a misty mountain.
And she, Lin Xiaoqian, is just a little snake demon who has just awakened her intelligence and has no flesh on her body. She is ignorant about everything.
Only by instinct could he sense the extremely tempting fragrance emanating from the spiritual fruit tree planted outside Ji Yunzhou's residence.
The spiritual fruit contained pure spiritual energy. For a little demon like her, eating one was enough to save her a hundred years of hard training.
The temptation is like a dog that has been hungry for three days seeing a bone with fresh meat, or a person who has been poor all his life seeing a mountain of gold.
Thus, she, the little snake who was determined to become a great demon that could shake the world, began her tragic and difficult climbing journey.
The mountain steps are long and steep, with more than 3,000 steps!
She is such a small snake, but her scales are almost worn off from crawling!
He braved wind and rain, dodged eagles flying in the sky, avoided wild boars running on the ground, and experienced 81 kinds of hardships...
She made it up in her own mind.
finally!
Finally reached the top of the mountain!
The spiritual fruit tree was right in front of her. The fruits on it were big and round, emitting a spiritual light that made her drool!
Her heart was pounding with excitement. She used up her last bit of strength, raised her little snake head, and struggled to reach for the nearest fruit.
Success is almost here! Her snake life is about to be glorious!
Then……
That’s all.
There was a slight "whoosh" sound as a sword flashed through the air, so fast that she couldn't see it clearly.
The next second, she felt the world spinning, and the whole snake was lifted up by an irresistible force.
It drew an arc in the air that wasn't very graceful, and then fell on the cold stone slab with a "bang", making her dizzy and seeing stars.
She looked up dizzily and saw a handsome but cold young man in a green robe standing in front of her, holding a long sword and looking at her indifferently.
Normal people, even those who practice Taoism, would probably feel that they have a connection with a little animal like her that is somewhat spiritual and has not done any evil.
If you are lucky, you may be taken in as a spiritual pet and embark on the shortcut to immortality.
I was almost driven down the mountain.
But this guy!
Ji Yunzhou! He's different!
He is a freak! A devil!
He studied her for a moment, seemingly trying to decide how to proceed.
Lin Xiaoqian still held on to a tiny glimmer of hope at the time, and tried hard to blink her little snake eyes, trying to act cute and innocent.
As a result, Ji Yunzhou put away his sword, leaned over, stretched out two slender fingers, and pinched her seven inches!!!
It is Lin Xiaoqian’s psychological shadow that has lasted for a thousand years!
This man!
He actually! This poor, weak and helpless little snake!
From beginning to end! It's a tight knot!
It’s a real deadlock!
She struggled for three days and three nights but couldn't break free!
This is not over yet!
After he finished tying the knot, he picked her up and hung her directly on the lowest branch of the spiritual fruit tree like a sausage!
Her longing little eyes were only 0.01 centimeter away from the tempting spiritual fruit!
I can smell it, I can see it, but I can’t eat it!
The wind blew, and she and the spiritual fruit swayed together.
At that moment, Lin Xiaoqian's heart was broken.
Shame, anger, despair, and a strong desire for that fruit are intertwined!
How can there be such evil people in the world!
How despicable! The most despicable thing ever!
She kept this account in mind for a whole thousand years!
