Chapter 43 – Ten Thousand Years Old Rock Spirit VS The Righteous And Beautiful Young Girl
Venerable Flames calmed down after scolding Gu Qingyu, and interrupted her, “Aren’t you curious how your Excellency materialized into a real form? Easy, your Excellency shall tell you. Your Excellency spent close to a thousand years of cultivation base, to be able to appear for half a quarter’s time.”
Close to a thousand years? That extreme?!
“Then, are there any ways to recover it back?” Gu Qingyu asked cautiously. Although the outcome has been already in the negative, but she wasn’t willing to accept it and asked…
“Do you think that, for a spirit to materialize into a real body, is a simple matter?” Venerable Flames looked at her and asked.
“I…” Gu Qingyu started to panic, “Master…”
“So, for the next few days, unless you really need me, do not disturb me.” Venerable Flames shut his eyes slowly close again.
“Huh?” Does this mean that the situation isn’t all too bad? “Master, are you alright?”
“That goes without saying, only a few days needed to recuperate.” Venerable Flames opened his eyes again, he had already completely regained his calm and there was even a faint smile in his eyes, “And also… even if there’s no way to completely recover, what does a thousand years of cultivation base even count for? Your Excellency still has up to several tens of thousands.”
… As expected, the willfulness of a strong one! So this rock is a tsundere!
“Remember, next time, finish the person off first and then start to slowly lecture them.” Venerable Flames’ tone appeared very sincere and earnest.
“What?” Finish them off, then slowly lecture?
“Furthermore, your skill in lecturing people is simply awful. Your Master shall take some time off to teach you in the future.” Venerable Flames extended his hands and suddenly grabbed Gu Qingyu’s ankle.
“Huh? Master, wh-what are you doi-… ahhhh!!” Before she finished her sentence, Venerable Flames pulled her all the way into the hot spring.
I don’t like water, ahh…
“Save me~! Murder! This ten thousand years old rock spirit is trying to murder the bright, kind and righteous, beautiful young lady!” Gu Qingyu screamed while flapping madly in the water.
Venerable Flames looked speechlessly at her, a tender look arising in his eyes; Ten thousand years old rock spirit? Beautiful young lady? Very good.
While she was flapping around, she started to realize that something was amiss…
She slowly stepped onto the bottom of the spring with her feet, and stood up. The spring water barely reached her waist.
“Uhh…” This is awkward, did I just say something I wasn’t supposed to say?
Venerable Flames looked at her and rolled his hair around his fingers. He looked very enchanting, “Ten thousand years old rock spirit?”
“Uhh…” Am I allowed to nod?
“Beautiful young lady?” A smile emerged on the corners of his mouth.
“Uhh…” I really want to nod! But if I do that, will my head still exist…
“Master, you know, I didn’t say anything earlier!” Gu Qingyu immediately lifted three fingers up to the sky and swore.
Venerable Flames laughed, in that split second, a lightning bolt shot across the sky, and thunder sounded, “You’ll really get struck by the lightning~.”
How could I forget that this was his domain!
“… Master, I was wrong! You’re t
he bigger person…”
“Wrong, I am a ten thousand years old rock spirit.” Venerable Flames corrected her, he was in deadly earnest, and extremely serious.
Gu Qingyu simply wanted to just slap herself in the face, the one where you slapped from left to right, “No, you’re not! This humble one…”
“You’re wrong again, you’re an intelligent, kind and righteous, beautiful young lady.” Venerable Flames corrected her again with a serious face.
“Master!” Gu Qingyu was on the verge of breaking down, at the same time, she realized that this guy was not ordinary to be trifled with.
“Master, I’m truly in the wrong!” Just as she was about to crawl up the edge, she was held down by Venerable Flames.
Venerable Flames softly shut his eyes, he looked very beaten, “Wait a moment, soaking in this water will help with your recovery.”
Gu Qingyu saw his state and didn’t bother to bicker anymore and just stayed quietly in the water.
“Master, that day, didn’t you say that only after I came back from the marketplace could I soak in this spring?”
Venerable Flames nodded his head, “Do you still remember the lantern from that day?”
Lantern? The one I gifted to Jia Qizhe?
Gu Qingyu nodded, “I remember.”
“The lantern contains a type of energy that can help refresh and clear one’s mind… In short, it’ll be useful for both you and me.” Venerable Flames drew his mouth into a thin line, and smacked himself on the forehead, “Your Excellency have been tainted by you as of late.”
He’s blaming me?
Gu Qingyu drew her mouth into a thin line as well, “Thank you, master. Am I allowed to leave now?”
Venerable Flames waved his hands dismissively, “Leave, your Excellency needs to rest now. If nothing major happens, don’t come and disturb me.”
“Ugh…” Gu Qingyu felt a painful exploding sensation over her whole body. She slowly opened her eyes.
Before her stood Mo Bai, he was taking her pulse.
Seeing Gu Qingyu waking up, Mo Bai was startled by her, then smiled afterwards, “Awake?”
She nodded, and tried to rise up, but was held down by Mo Bai. She felt a stinging pain coming from her stomach.
“Don’t be in such a haste to get up. You’ve already been unconscious for three days, drink some water first.” Mo Bai picked up the teapot on the table, and gently poured water into a little white porcelain cup.
The slender jade-like and fair fingers gently picked up the cup, and moved towards Gu Qingyu’s lips.
Gu Qingyu was startled by him and felt her blood starting to boil…
She began to feel some kind of liquid slowly flowing out of her nose…
