"Your clothes," Gu Chen pointed out with a straight face, not wanting to give Feng Shuran any idea as to what he was thinking.
"Mm?" Feng Shuran hummed and looked down at herself, seems like she wasn’t aware that her clothes were in ruins.
Without saying a word, she waved her right hand and a new white robe appeared in front of her.
Using her qi to keep the new clothes in the air, she began to take off the torn one right in front of Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was left speechless by Feng Shuran’s boldness, how could she casually strip in front of him?
Silently shaking his head, Gu Chen slowly turned around and backed Feng Shuran.
Seeing this, a faint smile formed on Feng Shuran’s face as she proceeded to change into the new robe.
She was done after a while and walked towards Gu Chen.
"I’m done, Master." She said softly while standing just a few steps away from Gu Chen.
Gu Chen turned around at this point, his eyes instantly falling on Feng Shuran, almost startling him. The woman was so close to him that he could touch her by just stretching an arm.
Since he wasn’t a cultivator anymore, his ability to perceive things outside his scope of vision was greatly nerfed.
Feng Shuran’s new robe was just like the previous one, and a strange look was in her eyes as she stared at him.
Gu Chen "..."
He silently used Admin Eyes, wanting to make sure that there wasn’t anything wrong with his first villainess. However, the result of his investigation left him even more speechless.
.....
GENERAL CONDITIONS: In love
...
"Is everything alright, Master?"
Feng Shuran’s voice sounded in Gu Chen’s ears, pulling him out of his daze. He had been staring at the result of using Admin Eyes for quite a while, but since Feng Shuran couldn’t see the system, it looked like Gu Chen had just been staring at the top of her head.
She didn’t particularly have a problem with that, the thing that made her ask her question was Gu Chen’s expression.
Meanwhile, Gu Chen dismissed the system and looked at Feng Shuran, several questions popping up in his mind at once.
How did Feng Shuran end up falling in love with him?
When did it happen? Was it because of the pill, or was it when he repelled the cultivators from the Dae Qu sect so she could continue her breakthrough?
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen’s thinking was interrupted by a sudden pain in his stomach. A familiar yet distant pain.
Hunger!
He couldn’t recall the last time he ate, maybe a hundred years ago? As cultivators grew stronger, food would stop being a necessity to stay alive as they could sustain their bodies with qi.
However, Gu Chen was now an ordinary person desperately needing to eat. His body suddenly felt like it had been starved for days and might collapse soon.
’I need to find the nearest town, and fast.’ Gu Chen thought to himself. They were currently in the middle of nowhere and he didn’t even know which direction led to where.
Fortunately, he had Feng Shuran with him. She was familiar with this region.
Just as he was about to ask about the nearest town, Feng Shuran’s voice came first.
"Master, there’s something I urgently need to take care of. Please, permit me to leave for a while, I’ll return immediately when I’m done."
Gu Chen stared at Feng Shuran who was currently kneeling before him, he wasn’t very happy.
Why did she suddenly want to leave? It can’t be that she wanted to run away, right?
"What is it?" Gu Chen asked calmly, not showing that he was secretly panicking.
Feng Shuran didn’t hide her business from Gu Chen. She had already informed him about her grudge with the people from the Dae Qu sect and he had even witnessed it.
Now that she had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and they wouldn’t be able to harm her anymore, they were definitely going to escape from Oghara.
Feng Shuran couldn’t allow that, she wanted to settle everything and prevent any possibilities of future threats.
Listening to her, Gu Chen understood why she wanted to completely wipe out the Dae Qu sect. If even one of them escaped, it would be a hidden threat for the rest of her life.
Just like how he was to the Seven Realms Alliance currently. Luckily, they didn’t know that he was still alive.
"Fine, but how will you find me after I leave here?" Gu Chen nodded and asked. He obviously wasn’t going to wait here for Feng Shuran to finish her business and come back.
Hearing that she was allowed to leave, Feng Shuran stood up, a happy smile on her face.
"Don’t worry about that, I’ll come look for Master even if you go to the end of the world." She said as she pointed a finger at Gu Chen.
Before he could react, a black light shot from her fingers and landed on his right palm.
It was so fast and Gu Chen couldn’t have dodged it even if he wanted to.
Keeping a straight face, he raised his hand and looked at the mark that was now on his palm, it only stayed for a few seconds before disappearing.
He recalled seeing a tracking technique amongst Feng Shuran’s techniques earlier when he used Admin Eyes, this must be it.
On the other hand, a deep smile formed on Feng Shuran’s face.
"You didn’t try to dodge, what if it was an attack?"
She assumed that Gu Chen trusted her so much already and knew that she would not attack him. Of course, it could be because he was confident that she couldn’t hurt him, but the first thought made her happy nevertheless.
In response, Gu Chen snorted and flung his sleeves.
"Do you think you can hurt me after becoming a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?"
’As long as you don’t aim for my head, you won’t be able to harm me even if you’re in the Spirit Transformation Realm!’ He added inwardly.
Feng Shuran’s smile deepened.
"Of course I know I can’t harm you, I wouldn’t even dare think of it...you’re the most important person to me, Master." She said sincerely.
’That is good to know,’ Gu Chen thought inwardly while only letting out a grunt as response to Feng Shuran.
"I have to leave now, Master. Please, excuse me." Feng Shuran cupped her hands and said before turning around.
"Hold on,"
Just before she could shoot into the sky, Gu Chen called out from behind.
Feng Shuran paused her steps and turned around with a puzzled face.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Gu Chen felt slightly embarrassed by what he was about to ask. He suddenly regretted letting that old man take away Su Zhui’s corpse.
Forcing his expression from collapsing, Gu Chen stared at Feng Shuran seriously and asked.
"Do you have some money on you?"
Feng Shuran "..."
Gu Chen "..."
There was deafening silence as the both of them stared at each other, even the sound of passing wind could no longer be heard.
Gu Chen could feel his face burning from embarrassment but he forced himself to keep looking serious while silently cursing at that old man. If only he hadn’t taken the corpse away, Gu Chen could have claimed Su Zhui’s belongings!
