Chapter 46: Poison and Porridge (1/2)

Who could tell me where this sudden ‘tsundere’ behaviour came from!

“Mo Bai, you…” Gu Qingyu began her defense.

Right then, Mo Bai actually pushed the jar of wine he was holding to Gu Qingyu. “Don’t you want to drink wine? Drink it! Even if you die from it, I will bring you back!”

“Mo Bai, I’m sorry…” Gu Qingyu did not dare to take the jar.

Mo Bai took the jar back and placed it on the ground with a huff. “Didn’t I say that your wounds have yet healed?”

“Yes…” Gu Qingyu nibbled on her lips.

“Then what do you take my words for?” Mo Bai’s eyes flared.

Seeing the Prince Charmingwas getting angrier by the minute, Gu Qingyu grew desperate and clung on Mo Bai’s arm. “I’m sorry, I’ll never do this again!”

Mo Bai was stunned and went silent.

“Waa, I really learned my mistake!” Gu Qingyu wiped her nonexistent tears on Mo Bai’s sleeve. “I’ll never do it again!”

“Really?” The anger in Mo Bai’s eyes was fading away.

Gu Qingyu nodded obediently.

“Fine.” Mo Bai stretched out his other hand and gently stroked Gu Qingyu’s hair. “Be careful next time.” He paused and sighed. “Yu’er, I’m not angry that you didn’t listen to me, I’m angry because you don’t take care of yourself, you know that right?”

Gu Qingyu nodded, “Yes, I know. There really won’t be the next time.”

Mo Bai nodded, then he chuckled. “Yu’er, are you that afraid of me?”

“Huh?” Gu Qingyu was surprised and let go of his arm. “What did you say? I can’t hear you? The wind was too loud, speak louder!”

Mo Bai thought. I should have known this would happen!

After bidding Mo Bai goodnight, Gu Qingyu went back to her room.

I can’t look for Master, but maybe I can still practice magic on my own?

She stood up straight, closed her eyes and let her internal power flow within her body. Slowly, if she broke through this blockade, her powers would be among the top masters of this land and she would easily defeat most of her attackers. Suddenly, she felt her chest tightened as blood rushed to her heart.

“Don’t rush, adjust your breathing, take even breaths.” A familiar, charming voice spoke. Then a hand was pressed gently between her shoulder blades. A rush of air was pushed into Gu Qingyu’s body, mixing with her chaotic internal powers, which calmed it down significantly.

Is it Jia Qizhe? If he’s helping me, then this would be so much easier.Gu Qingyu let herself loose, opened her heart and mind and began melding with the powers.

Jia Qizhe spoke again, “That’s it, don’t be too anxious.”

Gu Qingyu controlled the power and was slowly breaking through the blockade she always encountered. Suddenly, the power from Jia Qizhe broke loose from her control and shattered the blockade, giving Gu Qingyu a fright.

At least I still got a boost in power. This Jia Qizhe is really reckless.Gu Qingyu felt drowsy and fell asleep soon after.

When she opened her eyes again and looked out of the windows, it was the crack of dawn. Gu Qingyu rubbed her eyes and sat up, steady energy coursed through her body.

Is this how it feels to break your limits?

Gu Qingyu stood up and stretched her limbs. The pain in her chest had subsided and she felt a lot more refreshed, so she decided to go for a walk. She opened her window with a light push and leaped out of the window.

“Ah!”

Bam!

Crash!

Gu Qingyu rubbed her dizzy head. Which unlucky guy got crushed by me in the morning? Wait! It’s…

“Qi Wan? What are you doing here?” Gu Qingyu sniffed and scrunched her nose. “And with such a strong smell of alcohol?”

Qi Wan was lying on the floor, two empty jars of wine cradled in his arms. “Huh? Boss? Aren’t you… chatting with Herb Boy?”

This guy was really drunk, to even call Mo Bai ‘Herb Boy’?

“If I never came down, are you going to drink until you die?” Gu Qingyu bent down and tried to pull Qi Wan onto her back.

Despite his intoxication, Qi Wan side-stepped and dodged it. “I am in a bad mood! I want to sing!”

“Sure, sure, we can do whatever you want, but let’s go back inside first.” Gu Qingyu piggybacked Qi Wan without a second word and walked towards the door.

Qi Wan tossed the jars away and hooked his arms onto Gu Qingyu’s neck, his lips close to her ears. “Xiao Yu’er, tell me your phone number…”

Gu Qingyu mumbled a string of numbers and kicked open Qi Wan’s door. They stopped near Qi Wan’s bed. Gu Qingyu was about to toss him onto his bed, but Qi Wan clung onto her neck and refused to let go. “Little Yu’er, I want porridge!”

“Sure, let go of me and I’ll get someone to cook it for you.” Gu Qingyu patiently chided.
