Chapter 518 - A Date With Gu Yue (2/2)

Xie Xie stopped sweeping once he noticed Tang Wulin.“You're back early today! Shouldn't you take today's day off to cultivate more?”

“Well, I'm only back early 'cause I'm going out later to Heaven Dou City. You want me to get you anything?”

Xie Xie shook his head as he resumed sweeping the ground. “What could I need that I can't get here at Shrek? I'm fine. Don't worry about me.”

Tang Wulin chuckled. He left for the girls' room and knocked on the door. He was sure that Ye Xinglan and Xu Xiaoyan were already up since they had cultivated their Purple Demon Eyes with him.

The door swung open and Xu Xiaoyan poked her head out. “Huh? Captain, what are you here so early for?”

Tang Wulin flashed a smile. “I'm looking for Gu Yue. Is she up yet?”

“I'm up. Coming!” Gu Yue said from within.

Xu Xiaoyan giggled and retreated back inside. A moment later, Gu Yue stepped out the doorway.

One word described tang Wulin precisely: shocked. Her lush black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, giving her a more energetic look than usual. She wore a spotless white dress fitted to her emerging womanly curves, elegant without excess decorations. She wasn't a world-shaking beauty, but there was a certain charm about her, an air of n.o.bility and grace.

“Y-you're really pretty today,” Tang Wulin stuttered.

Gu Yue's face flushed faint red. “Have you had breakfast yet?” she asked, averting her eyes and desperate to change the topic.

Tang Wulin shook his head. “Nope. I came to get you first, then we'll go visit the Tang Sect.”

“Oh. Alright.” Gu Yue nodded.

“Ooooh! What's that? You guys going on a date?” Xie Xie teased.

“Go back to sweeping!” Gu Yue glared at him.

Xie Xie instantly tucked tail and lowered his head, focusing on his work. Gu Yue had instilled fear into him through countless beatings over the years, and the scene of her wrath from the day before was still fresh in his mind. He didn't dare act too c.o.c.ky around her.
