Chapter 38: Girl Qin Yiyao
Chapter 38: Girl Qin Yiyao
Gu Heng carried the boiled water and went upstairs, where there was a bathtub he had prepared, filled with cold water but no hot water. When he walked in, the young man was lying in the bathtub with his back to him, with his eyes closed and breathing evenly.
He walked over slowly and saw bruises on the face and blood at the corners of the mouth. But even in such a miserable state, it still couldn't hide his handsome appearance, and his rebellious temperament was revealed.
"The water is so cold. This is not good for your health."
Gu Heng sighed, but it was this sound that scared the boy in the barrel!
"ah!"
A hoarse scream, coupled with the boy's sudden panic and shrinking against the wall of the barrel, Gu Heng suddenly discovered something.
This... this doesn't seem to be a teenager.
It's a young girl!
Gu Heng indeed did not realize that this "young man" was actually a female.
She was too thin, hadn't had a full meal for a long time, her clothes were tattered, and she was covered in dirt. If you didn't look carefully, it would be hard to tell her gender.
But now looking at it, it is really very beautiful.
He didn't understand much else, but he understood by comparing her with the beautiful women he had seen. Although she was still a little immature, she was already a beauty. If she dressed up well and wore some nice clothes, she would definitely be beautiful.
The girl was taking a cold shower, and when she saw Gu Heng coming in, she buried herself in the water, leaving only her head exposed. She hugged her arms tightly across her chest under the water, and stared at Gu Heng with wide eyes. Her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry.
She is naturally pretty, and this tearful look makes her even more charming, making people want to protect her.
"Uh... let me get you some hot water."
Gu Heng tried his best not to feel too embarrassed, although he was indeed embarrassed to be stared at by her with such wary eyes.
I really didn't mean to be an indecent person.
"Ah...you can add it."
The girl continued to stare at him. Gu Heng slowly poured the steaming hot water from the pot down the edge of the bucket, then tested the temperature with his hand and found it was just right.
"Well, okay, you wash first, I'll go cook and prepare some...appropriate clothes for you."
Gu Heng coughed dryly, picked up the pot, turned around and left.
"Bang!"
The door was closed.
After he left, the person in the water finally relaxed. She let out a sigh of relief, looked up at the roof, confusion and struggle in her eyes.
"Oh, looking at him like this, it seems that I really haven't acted like a woman for all these years..."
It has been sixteen years since Qin Yiyao came back to this world.
In the name of "Emperor Shengyao", she conquered half of the Xuantian Realm and founded the Great Qin Dynasty. However, when she was on the verge of the peak of her power, she was framed and fell into the Immortal Killing Poison, which was so toxic that even she could not resist it at her peak.
Fortunately, Qin Yiyao found a torn copy of the "Medical Immortal" book by chance!
The "Remaining Books of the Medical Immortal" recorded an immortal-level formation that could save her.
In order to save herself, she built a mausoleum. Since the fairy-level formation could no longer be arranged, she had to set up 999 ancient formations from the Taixu period to make up for the power of the fairy-level formation in the remaining books of the medical immortal. Thousands of loyal ministers and the twelve most elite Qin generals around her were buried with her to guard the tomb. She set up the "Infinite Sword Domain" that she realized after becoming an emperor on the periphery for defense.
After doing all this, she was put into the coffin and died.
Then, rebirth.
I don't know how long it took.
But when she came out of the coffin again, she found that her body had become so thin and immature.The mausoleum has become a ruin, and there is even a mountain based on her mausoleum that is slowly rising from the ground and becoming an isolated mountain.
All the preparations Qin Yiyao had made before her death, including the elixirs, magic weapons, spirit stones left for her, and even the ministers who were buried with her and guarding her tomb, had their power sucked away by the formation. Her cultivation had long since been neutralized and dissipated by the immortal-killing poison. She eventually came back to life, but became a mortal.
A mortal with nothing.
She didn't know how much time had passed since her era when she came out of the coffin again, but the Great Qin Dynasty founded by the former "Emperor Shengyao" had long since turned to ashes in the long river of time. Now the world has been divided for a long time, and the strict laws she left behind have become a pile of waste paper. For sixteen years, she has been living a humiliating and lowly life as a "mortal" with no cultivation, or in other words, an ant, with no relatives and being bullied!
It's not that there is no chance of turning around, it's just that the chance is very slim.
She carries the blood of the descendants of the ascended immortals, which allows her to cross the great ranks in battle when she is in the Qi Refining Stage. This is the most heaven-defying bloodline in the world!
She practiced "Asking the Emperor's Heart", which was also a treasure from Taixu. It could refine the Emperor's purple energy and use the power of all the people to achieve sainthood and ascend to immortality!
But Qin Yiyao had lost her memories of her early years, and she had no idea how to stimulate the blood of the immortal descendants in her body.
If you can't practice, it's useless even if you have a heaven-defying skill.
She is no longer the emperor who could change the world with a wave of her hand and make millions of people submit to her with a glance. Now she is just a mortal who has almost lost half her life just walking to Yunling City and can only live in the alleys and cannot even get enough food. Even leaving is a luxury, because there are many dangerous places outside Yunling City and she cannot survive.
Even if she stayed in the city, she would still be bullied by those ants whom she once wouldn't even glance at!
A great emperor has fallen to this point.
But Qin Yiyao could still accept it. After all, she had also gone through the same process step by step in the past.
She had already prepared herself for another beating tonight. Those people didn't dare to beat her to death. The real ruler of Yunling City, Nian Ling Zong, couldn't bear to see a mortal like her dirtying the ground of Yunling City.
It is euphemistically called "Ordinary people should not be killed at will."
Qin Yiyao sneered every time she heard such nonsense.
However, she didn't expect that she would be rescued.
"But, that guy doesn't look like an ordinary mortal."
Qin Yiyao looked behind her secretly.
He didn't come up again.
In the past, peeking at her bathing would be punishable by death.
But she is not the emperor now, and that was the person who saved her.
Qin Yiyao now has no cultivation at all, her bloodline has not awakened, and she cannot practice, but her vision as a great emperor is still there, that intuition is still there, she can see the difference between mortals and cultivators, no matter how she looks at it, she just thinks that young man is a mortal.
But even for a mortal who has practiced martial arts to the extreme, it would not be easy to deal with a half-baked Foundation Establishment cultivator like Hong Ba.
He is weird.
He might be a real mortal, or maybe a monk whom even she couldn't see through.
"...Why think so much? It's better to think about how to live now..."
Qin Yiyao slapped the water surface out of boredom, and water droplets slid down from the tips of the lotus leaves, splashing a few small waves.
...
Gu Heng found a tailor shop and bought a few ready-made women's dresses. He also found a vendor who had not yet closed his stall and bought some good-looking pork, eggs and vegetables, and then returned to the new clinic.
Going upstairs, he saw her still soaking in the bathtub. Gu Heng put the clothes he bought beside him and said, "I don't know if these clothes are suitable. Anyway, wear them after you finish bathing."
Qin Yiyao hummed.
"Then you wash first, I'll... make you something to eat, even though I'm not a very good cook..."
Gu Heng scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. Just as he was about to go down, he heard her say, "Qin Yiyao."He looked back.
"My name."
"Oh, that sounds nice."
Gu Heng smiled and went downstairs.
That's good. He refused to speak just now, but now he is willing to tell him his name. It means he has let down his guard a little.
He returned to the back hall, lit a fire and cooked. He spent some time preparing two dishes and setting the table. At this time, footsteps were heard from the stairs and a delicate and graceful figure walked down.
Qin Yiyao was wearing a light green dress, with her long, smooth black hair draped over her shoulders, washing away the mud and dust all over her body. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyebrows were delicate, her lips were thin and her teeth were white. Her facial features seemed to be the most outstanding works of art created by God, and every inch of them was just right.
If there is anything missing...
That's too thin.
She looked very thin, and the skirt was a very small size in the tailor shop, but Qin Yiyao's body couldn't even support it.
Gu Heng raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had found a treasure tonight.
Qin Yiyao saw him standing by the door looking at her. A faint blush appeared on her face. She bit her lower lip, lowered her head and said nothing. Her pair of fair and tender little hands were twisted together, and she seemed a little embarrassed.
Gu Heng reacted and knocked on the door frame: "It's time to eat."
"oh."
She responded, hurriedly followed in, and slowly moved over to sit down.
Stir-fried vegetables, braised beef in soy sauce, and scrambled eggs were placed on the table. They didn't look good. She used to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and spiritual fruits and birds grown in a treasure land rich in spiritual energy, but that was a long time ago.
After Qin Yiyao was reborn, she had long forgotten when was the last time she had a normal, full meal.
So she didn't choose at all and just swept away all the food on the table.
Gu Heng watched her wolfing down the food, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
Well, it seems that I picked up a little guy who loves to eat.
A moment later...
"I'm done."
Qin Yiyao burped, looked at Gu Heng and smiled brightly.
Her smile was very contagious. At that moment, she seemed to be bright and beautiful, which also infected Gu Heng. He raised the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face.
"Now that we are full and warm, let's talk business."
Qin Yiyao was stunned: "Business?"
"Why would the Black Forest Gang go after a little girl like you?"
Gu Heng likes secrets. Although he never pries into secrets, he still wants to find out the truth about this secret that has been delivered to his doorstep.
"...Why are you asking this?"
"I see that you are all alone and have no one to rely on, so I want to help you in some way."
"But if I don't tell the truth, there's nothing I can do to help."
He spoke frankly and sincerely.
