382 A Trace of Guil (1/2)

”Your elder sister is having it…” the Solitary Eagle couldn't help but laugh. But, he felt that this little girl was very bold and adorable.

Dugu Xiao Yi was dumbfounded. It may be assumed that she gave the matter some thought before she asked, ”Elder Sister Guan… that can't be… is cooking rice the same as undressing?”

The men were left to stagger. [This girl is too naïve! She still doesn't understand it!]

”Young Lady! How is undressing not the same as cooking rice?” Dongfang Wen Dao stared back. It seemed as if he wanted to impart some education to her. After all, she wanted to cook with his nephew. So, he couldn't help but worry since he was the youngster's uncle. [I'm only trying to enlighten you so that you can 'cook' with my nephew properly the next time.]

However, he hadn't said much when Dongfang Wen Qing kicked him into the distance and said, ”Get lost! Such an old man talking like this… don't you know that those words are taboo? Don't corrupt a child!”

However, Dugu Xiao Yi still stood there dumbfounded. Two tears streamed down her cheeks after a while. She then sat down on the ground on her haunches, and burst out crying since she was broken-hearted, ”Boo hoo…! I don't want to live… boo hoo… I spent so much effort! But, it's those two who are cooking rice! Boo hoo…”

Everyone burst into laughter once again…

The sun was setting in the west, but no one had come out of the tent yet. Moreover, the faint sounds were still emanating from it. The five people had slowly started becoming worried with the passage of time. Dugu Xiao Yi had spent her strength in crying, and was sitting there with a blank expression on her face.

”Still not done…?” Solitary Eagle looked at the sun impatiently. ”Those sounds are proof that the two of them are still at it. But, hasn't it been too long? Isn't this too much?”

Dongfang Wen Qing smiled in an awkward manner, but remained silent.

Dongfang Wen Jian didn't cross his limits either, and remained silent as well. No one said anything…

Dingfang Wen Dao smacked his lips. His face twitched as he muttered, ”He's too fierce… even for someone who has eaten that medicine. I feel a bit inferior now…”

…

A long time had passed. The moon was high in the sky…

The sounds of activity inside the tent eventually came to a stop. Those five great experts stood outside like clay models, but remained at a distance. Their bodies were drenched in sweat, and their foreheads had a weary color…

[It's been so long… this Young Master Jun… he has persisted for too long even if he has taken that medicine… good stamina… ah!]

Jun Wu Yi looked anxious. He was anticipating that the two people would quickly come out of the tent. But, he didn't know how he would deal with them once they had made their way out. Moreover, he was afraid about what he would be able to do if those two couldn't bear the shame…

After all, this was unfortunate coincidence, and a freak accident. And, no one had been prepared for it. It was true that Guan Qing Han had suffered as an innocent victim. But, Jun Mo Xie hadn't been at fault either. He too had suffered as another victim. And, the fact that was most unbelievable was that… Dugu Xiao Yi had been the culprit behind the entire incident.

This had left everyone speechless…

Even the wise and far-sighted Jun Wu Yi couldn't help his head go around in circles at the thought of such a complicated matter.

[But… who can I blame for this? Can I blame Dugu Xiao Yi?]

[That's right. She is the main cause for this evil. So, she is the main culprit. But, she did this out of love for that brat. Moreover, she didn't realize or understand what she did. And, the little girl has also realized that she has run into a disaster, and her tears haven't stopped since then. Do I have the heart to scold her?]

[Moreover, Qing Han… that poor girl! She couldn't have done anything to resist Jun Mo Xie if he had forced her after having lost his mind. But, she didn't even call for help. What does that mean? She must have understood that something was wrong with Jun Mo Xie. In fact, she might've realized that an aphrodisiac was at play. So, she must've wanted to save Jun Mo Xie. That may be reason why she has endured everything in silence…]

[I don't know what those excessive toxins would've done to Mo Xie's body if it weren't for Qing Han's sacrifice. This means that Qing Han has sacrificed her virtue to save Mo Xie, and has done a huge act of kindness towards the entire Jun Family!]

[So, how should the Jun Family reciprocate? After all, her identity is very ambiguous. Perhaps the more appropriate question is… how do we treat her?]

[This issue is giving me a headache!]

[Qing Han's status must be announced to the entire world without delay!]

The Third Master Jun's mind was in chaos. It could be said that he was finding it very difficult to make a decision. But, how could the others share his thought process? For example, the Dongfang brothers would only be concerned with Jun Mo Xie. And, they wouldn't have a problem as long as their nephew was alright. Why would they care about their nephew's wife? [We're a wealthy family. Can't we afford to raise another person? We can even afford to raise a hundred children without any problems!]

[Moreover, having a multi-talented daughter-in-law is always a good thing since it means better qualities in the future generations. This Guan girl is obviously very good for us in that respect. She is beautiful. She is courageous, and daring. Plus, she can also take responsibility for her actions. We know Mo Xie's paternal uncle well. Wouldn't he consider these points in a good light?]

It was hard to say how much had passed…

Jun Mo Xie finally woke up in a leisurely manner. He felt very comfortable. A pleasant aftertaste still lingered inside his head from the events of the past. He looked around with a distracted look on his face, and it took him a moment to sober-up.

The Young Master Jun swayed, and shook his head. Then, he slowly remembered what had happened, and couldn't help but groan. He sat up. But, he heard a pained and frail moan the moment he moved. And, this sound had come from beside him.

Jun Mo Xie turned to look, and couldn't help but become startled.
