C36 (1/2)

Being blown by the cold wind outside, Gu Jinzhu was tipsy and her vision was hazy. She waved her hand at Yun Xiang, ”It's nothing, I just drank a little …”

Before she could finish, her body shook again, and she and Bea rushed forward to support her.

Gu Jinzhu took the opportunity to leave Gu Yiqing's grasp. Although she was a little drunk, she was incomparably clear in her heart. Ever since that night, she was unable to stay close to him, so she felt very awkward.

Yun Xiang blessed Gu Yiqing, indicating that she and Bi Yu would send the little miss back. Gu Yingqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion's backyard, the two girls busily heated up the water for her and took a bath. After everything was properly cleaned up, Gu Jinzhu was only wearing her close-fitting clothes as she comfortably lay on the bed.

Bea took a comb and ran it through her hair, and through the steam of the hot water, her white skin reddened a little, like a layer of fine rouge, and her hair was spread out on her pillow like a cloud, and her hands were light and heavy on her head, and from time to time she massaged her acupoints, and she fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown period of time, as if she was dreaming, her eyes turned completely red, as though she was in a sea of fire. A sharp wail sounded beside her ear.

Gu Jinzhu struggled with all her might, but it was as if her body was tied up by a nightmare and she couldn't move at all. She was anxious and afraid at the same time as she struggled with all her might.

The sound in her ears suddenly grew louder, as if someone was screaming. She abruptly opened her eyes. Her vision became so dark that she could almost hear her breathing in the darkness.

She felt her heart racing and her body was soaked in cold sweat. She didn't even have the time to call out to the two girls before she heard noises coming from outside. Waves of light shone through the window.

Gu Jinzhu's expression immediately changed. If she hadn't seen wrongly, it was because of the fire! Just like in her dream, there was a huge fire outside. The shadows of people running and crying mixed together, making it hard for her to tell if it was a dream or reality.

She was frightened out of her wits and shouted, ”Fragrance? Fragrance? ”Bi'er?”

No one in the room answered, but the two girls didn't know where they had gone. Gu Jinzhu stumbled and jumped off the bed. She didn't know what to do, when she heard a window creak and a figure broke through the window, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.

That person instantly jumped in front of her and held her in his arms. Gu Jinzhu was frightened out of her wits, but just as she was about to struggle with all her might, borrowing the red light of the fire, she saw the familiar face in front of her.

Gu Yiqing whispered, ”Don't move.” She was about to take her out, but as soon as she got close, the two of them simultaneously realized that something was wrong. She was only wearing close-fitting clothes when she slept, and her body was almost half naked.

Gu Yiqing's pupils constricted. The sounds of fighting outside were getting closer and closer. He no longer hesitated, took off his shirt, wrapped it around her, and jumped out while hugging her.

Outside, Gu Jinzhu discovered that the entire backyard had turned into a sea of fire. The flames were blazing, and people were running in every direction, creating a mess.

Countless men in black were holding bows and arrows as they surrounded the yard and engaged the guards in battle.
