Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 63: Chapter 53 Gu Shanhe

The sun sprinkled golden sunlight on the Tiger Slaying Ridge, and the Heavenly Maiden Temple welcomed another beautiful morning. "Servant... Husband... Bad guy!" Gu Yinghua was still nestled in Liu Suiyun's arms. She, who had been overwhelmed last night, murmured in her sleep in an approving tone, continuing to enjoy the sweetest joys of life in her dreamland. "Asleep again? Forget it. Let her sleep a little longer." Liu Suiyun felt the feeling of Gu Yinghua, who was completely naked and in the closest contact with him. His thoughts quickly turned to the pleasure when he woke up in the morning, and remembered Gu Yinghua's shyness and courage at that time. The white silk with the symbol of virgin chastity had been hidden by Gu Yinghua. But he remembered Gu Yinghua's sweet gasps, lovely moans, slightly flushed earlobes, skin as white as frost and snow, and unexpectedly large peaks... Fortunately, having just experienced an extreme pleasure, Liu Suiyun didn't regain his vigor. He just kissed Gu Yinghua on the forehead. "Husband..." Gu Yinghua slowly woke up. She lingered in Liu Suiyun's arms for a long time before ordering Liu Suiyun to help. "Servant, help this young lady change clothes!" Her red dress, along with the undergarments and long robes, had been damaged in many places during the fierce battle with Pang Tianshan and had been stained with Gu Yinghua's blood several times. However, after being watered by the magical drizzle of the black-haired little loli, all the dresses had regained their original appearance when they were first made. There was even a faint fragrance. This would be the most precious treasure in Gu Yinghua's wardrobe. Of course, during the process of dressing, Liu Suiyun always slid to places where he shouldn't stay. Gu Yinghua called him "servant", but for Liu Suiyun's pair of wandering magic hands, she showed meekness. Sometimes she even offered her sweetness. As a result, it took almost half an hour to put on a dress. Finally, under Gu Yinghua's sweet scolding, Liu Suiyun finally helped Gu Yinghua put on her clothes - in fact, he was just making a mess of things. But Miss Gu just liked him to make a mess of things. "Servant, carry me on your back!" After breaking through this final layer of relationship, Gu Yinghua was not polite to Liu Suiyun and directly gave an order. However, there was always an indissoluble affection in these words. It was not like an order but more like a request. Liu Suiyun also knew that as a new bride, she was indeed inconvenient. Immediately, he carried her on his back. After packing up the remaining luggage, he was ready to set off for Yuanzhou. Now he was in an extremely good state. As long as he avoided the most powerful demonic beasts on Falling Star Mountain, he could protect Gu Yinghua completely. Gu Yinghua's sweet voice came from his back. "Okay, we can start... Eh?" A crane's cry had already come from the sky. Then Liu Suiyun found that two spirit birds had appeared in his sight. He couldn't help but hold the Heavenly Tear Meteorite Falling Sword in his hand and be ready to fight at any time - because he had seen that there was someone sitting on the back of one of the spirit birds. However, such an opponent was definitely difficult to deal with. Even a spirit bird without any combat power, as long as it could carry people, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, doubling and redoubling the lethality of cultivators and martial artists. As a result, the price of spirit birds has always been sky-high. You should know that with the power of the Pang family, they couldn't invest in a spirit bird that could carry people in the process of chasing Liu Suiyun. Although they dispatched countless falcons, all these spirit eagles combined might not be as valuable as a single spirit bird. Thinking that the opponent had dispatched two spirit birds at once, Liu Suiyun suspected that this was a follow-up move sent by the strong person behind the scenes that Pang Tianshan had mentioned. However, with his and Gu Yinghua's joint efforts, plus this was after all Falling Star Mountain, which he was extremely familiar with, Liu Suiyun still had some confidence. Just thinking about the fact that it was a real spirit bird, for some reason, Liu Suiyun always felt unsure in his heart. He had to tell himself to be calm. Just when he was very uneasy, Gu Yinghua announced in a high-spirited manner, "Servant, put down the sword. It's my elder brother. It's my elder brother!" Liu Suiyun immediately felt relieved. He blurted out, "Is it the one Uncle Huo mentioned?" "Yes, it's my elder brother, Gu Shanhe." As they spoke, the two spirit birds on the opposite side flew closer. Gu Shanhe was riding on a golden eagle. This golden eagle was tall, majestic, and stable. Its whole body was golden red. Its eyes were sharp. At first glance, it was extremely powerful. Its strength was at least not much weaker than an ordinary martial artist at the Bone Tempering stage. And on the golden eagle was Gu Shanhe, whom Liu Suiyun had heard of many times. Liu Suiyun had heard of him several years ago. The reason was not that Gu Shanhe was an outstanding disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, nor that Gu Shanhe had established the Foundation Establishment stage early and had great hope of achieving the Golden Elixir stage. Nor was it because this Gu Shanhe was a Feathered Forest Guard of the Great Han Kingdom with a salary of two thousand piculs. It was because of Gu Shanhe's true identity. This Feathered Forest Guard dispatched by the Shenxiao Sect to serve in the Great Han Kingdom was actually the leader of the secret agents in the entire Great Han Kingdom who was specifically responsible for cultivators. And in technical terms, he especially liked to do dirty work. He was ruthless and had no idea how many cultivators hostile to the Great Han Kingdom he had eliminated. He had even personally killed several cultivators at the same Foundation Establishment stage. Gu Shanhe's most famous achievement was that he personally went deep into the hostile Great Jin Kingdom and chased and killed a Han cultivator who had defected. He forcibly blasted this Han cultivator into a pile of bone powder under the eyes of a Golden Elixir cultivator and then withdrew safely. When Liu Suiyun was fighting with the Pang family in the sky, one of the issues they had to consider was whether Gu Shanhe would interfere in this civil war in Tianji Prefecture. After all, in a certain sense, this civil war was a real rebellion. If Gu Shanhe intervened, then the entire Gu family would not have a strong person of equal weight to Gu Shanhe. But all these were just meaningless symbols. Only in the mouths of Gu Yinghua and Huo Qianshu did Gu Shanhe's image truly become vivid. But neither the closest elder brother in Gu Yinghua's mouth nor the most beloved person in Huo Qianshu's heart was as real as what Liu Suiyun saw with his own eyes. No wonder Huo Qianshu would use "a glance from you can overthrow cities" to describe Gu Shanhe. No wonder the tall and rough Huo Qianshu would fall in love with Gu Shanhe. Gu Shanhe and Huo Qianshu could be said to be two completely different extremes. If not seen with one's own eyes, the name Gu Shanhe was indeed very deceptive. Although describing him as "small and exquisite" might be a bit exaggerated, but Gu Shanhe with his face turned sideways really had a face like the snow just after it had stopped falling. There was also a little sunshine in his gentle and shy smile. Coupled with his slender figure and the tall and mighty golden eagle, Liu Suiyun's first feeling was, "So men can be so lovely too!" Fortunately, they are not as lovely as my twin little lolis. Thank goodness! Liu Suiyun had to utter such an exclamation. And Gu Shanhe had already urged the golden eagle to fly over. While flying, he shouted in a pleasant voice with a hint of shyness towards the ground, "Yinghua, Yinghua, younger sister, is it you?" "It's me. It's me!" Gu Yinghua was already waving her left hand on Liu Suiyun's back. "Brother, it's me. It's me! I knew you would come. You are always the best and love me the most!" Gu Shanhe's golden eagle flew closer. In addition to this golden eagle, he also brought a crane. It should be the spirit crane that Gu Yinghua said could carry her to Lingjing Mountain. He glanced around beside Gu Yinghua and asked curiously, "Who is this? Why isn't Qianshu with you?" As soon as he heard Huo Qianshu's name, Gu Yinghua almost shed tears. She said very uncomfortably, "We were surrounded by the Pang family. Uncle Huo... In order to cover our breakout, he used some extremely domineering fire-attribute cultivation method to boost his power. As soon as he rushed out, the internal yin fire burned outward and he left..." Huo Qianshu could be said to be one of his closest people. Thinking of Huo Qianshu, she felt even more uncomfortable. She finally managed to tell Gu Shanhe what happened later. "We killed Pang Tianshan and many disciples of the Pang family last night. Finally, we avenged Uncle Huo." Gu Shanhe's voice always carried a tenderness and delicacy that could not be concealed. But at this moment, his face, which was originally like fresh snow, suddenly became like a beautiful snake. "The Pang family of Tianji, the Pang family of Tianji... What a Pang family of Tianji. I remember it!" Being remembered by such a ruthless person who has countless fighting experiences is not a good thing. Moreover, Gu Shanhe doesn't know how many chess pieces he can use. After a pause, he asked again, "Did Uncle Huo leave any instructions before he left?" Gu Yinghua lowered her head and exchanged a glance with Liu Suiyun. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly told the scene of Huo Qianshu's last moments. "Before Uncle Huo left, he told us that the person he liked the most in his life is you, brother..." Seeing the extremely surprised expression on Gu Shanhe's face, Gu Yinghua continued, "Uncle Huo also said that he likes the Gu Shanhe who can overthrow cities with a glance. He can never forget your once-in-a-lifetime glance, brother! Suiyun, where are Uncle Huo's ashes?" It was the first time Gu Yinghua called Liu Suiyun by his name. Liu Suiyun was not used to it. It took him a while to react. He found Huo Qianshu's ashes from the luggage. It was an extremely simple earthenware pot. But Gu Shanhe carefully wiped it as if it were a treasure. His eyes also became extremely delicate. "I really regret it. If it weren't for being delayed for two or three days because of the affairs of the Supreme Demon Sect, I would definitely be able to make it in time. I really would be able to make it! Really!" In addition to being saddened and lost in thought, Gu Shanhe said sentimentally, "Your Uncle Huo doesn't know. In fact, I never lay a hand on little girls!" But after being sentimental, Gu Shanhe regained the image of the secret agent leader that Liu Suiyun had imagined. He just glanced at Liu Suiyun. "You are Liu Suiyun?" "Um!" Liu Suiyun immediately replied, "Please give me your advice." But Gu Shanhe sneered. "If I guess correctly, I should address you as Xing Ruyu."
