Chapter 197 Outbreak
Seeing him moved to tears, Baili Ce felt utterly disgusted.
Is being clean something to brag about or something to be proud of?
No matter how Wang Qingyan defines his relationship with her, it does nothing but make her life worse.
Just as she had said before, Wang Qingyan wouldn't care what she thought, nor what he had done, and he certainly wouldn't feel that she was rubbing salt into her wounds.
All he wanted was to achieve his goal.
His pain stemmed not from remorse or guilt, but from the fact that, for him, she, as his "goal," had not been fulfilled perfectly enough.
His unhappiness stems from his dissatisfaction with the fact that she would suffer in the relationship.
He couldn't understand, nor did he want to understand; he could only think, "I've given you my whole heart, I've been so good to you, why don't you love me?"
Does he really not understand?
No, he just felt that she deserved to admire him.
No matter what he did, she shouldn't hold it against him, she couldn't hold it against him. In heaven and on earth, he was the only one.
Therefore, Baili Ce calmed down, and the ancestral Gu in his mind also calmed down.
It's not worth investing even a shred of emotion in someone like that.
Regardless of love, hate, resentment, or bitterness.
From now on, killing him will be her biggest goal in life.
......
The next day, perhaps sensing that her mood had improved, Wang Qingyan actually invited her to fly a kite.
"Won't you play for a while?" Seeing her sitting on the side without moving, Wang Qingyan handed her the handle of the thread.
Bai Li Ce did not reach out to take it, "I can't run anymore, and I don't want to let go."
She had no interest in running around in the sun on a sunny day.
"I've been working on this swallow kite for a long time."
After a brief standoff, Baili Ce raised his eyes and scoffed, then picked up the handle and started tugging at it.
A moment later, there was a loud "bang," and the kite string snapped.
"Sorry, I didn't control the force well." With a calm expression, watching the kite fly away, Bai Li Ce said that she did it on purpose.
"You won't blame me, will you?"
Wang Qingyan curled his lips and looked at her indifferent profile. "So what if she flew away?"
"It's just a kite; people are the most important thing, right?"
"Yes"
Seeing a Gu Guard approaching from a distance, Baili Ce casually placed the thread handle on the wall. "Then I'll head back first."
"Aren't we going together?" Wang Qingyan grabbed Baili Ce, his smile undiminished.
She squeezed his hand back, and as he expected, she was considerate and understanding, saying, "You have important business to attend to. I'll wait for you at home."
"it is good"
He let go of her and let her leave, but after a few steps he called out to her again, "A-Zhu."
He stopped in his tracks, but too lazy to turn around, "What?"
"Is there anything you want? I'll bring it back for you when I come back."
"no"
"Really?"
He blurted out, "I have no other desires."
"Then I'll buy it."
Just walk away, saying, "Whatever makes you happy."
“Patriarch…” Wang Qingyan raised his hand to stop Wuming, and did not leave the city tower until Baili Ce had gone far away.
I looked up at the not-so-scorching sun and let the breeze carry the thread spool down the city wall.
Is it hot today?
"..." Wuming shook his head blankly.
Yes, on such a beautiful day, you'd rather be alone than even glance at me.
"Go on, it's time to close the net."
"Yes"
......
After returning home, Baili Ce took a nap until evening, but he still didn't get angry when Wang Qingyan came back.
Usually, when she makes him angry, he either grabs her and prevents her from leaving, or he threatens her openly or subtly.
He never holds a grudge overnight, and no matter how angry he is, he will never avoid seeing people.
But several hours have passed, and he hasn't returned, which can only mean...
He went and killed someone.
"Where have all the people gone?" Bai Li Ce immediately stepped out of the room and shouted into the empty courtyard. He had a premonition that he would definitely make a move against Bai Li Ming tonight.
Upon hearing her voice, a rather dim-witted Gu guard scurried out from the corner. "What are your orders, Madam?"
"Why are you alone?"
"It's my turn to be on duty today."
"I'm asking about other people?"
"It's my turn to be on duty today."
“…” After pinching his palm until it bled, Baili Ce finally calmed down.
"Alright, you can leave now. I want to walk around by myself."
Little did she know that as soon as she lifted her foot toward the garden, the Gu Guards followed her.
"what are you doing?"
"It's my turn to be on duty today."
“…” Baili Ce took a deep breath.
Never mind~
It's not worth getting angry at yourself.
She turned and went back to her room. "I'm a little hungry. I'll get you something to eat."
"Yes"
Hmm? It can understand human speech.
So I asked again, "Why is it only you?"
"It's my turn to be on duty today."
Damn...
Bai Li Ce, who had devoured three bowls of rice in one go, was so full that he couldn't sleep even late at night. He could only sit on the bed with his knees bent, hugging himself and unable to fall asleep.
Sensing that she was in a terrible emotional state, the Ancestral Gu, which had been pretending to be dead, tentatively asked, "How about... we make something else to eat?"
In the pitch black, Baili Ce's eyes shone with an eerie light. "I'm so full I feel like I'm going to throw up."
"Shall I tell you a story?"
"Okay," Baili Ce obediently listened.
"Ahem..." The Ancestral Gu spoke in a clear, anthropomorphic voice, "Then let me tell you about my time back in the Xianbei Mountains, when I met my first host..."
Bai Li Ce tried his best to control his thoughts and follow the voice of the Ancestral Gu, telling himself again and again not to get distracted and not to think about anything else.
"The second host was only eight or nine years old when she met me..."
The Xianbei grasslands are a shared escape route for Zu Gu and Bai Li Ce. Telling the host's story would be beneficial for Bai Li Ce in dealing with Wang Qing Yan, so she would definitely be interested.
Bai Li Ce thought so too; as long as her mind wasn't idle, she probably wouldn't think about anything else.
But as he listened, he couldn't help but say, "I've seen that Gu Guard before. Because he's not very smart, he was only assigned to serve tea and water in the mansion."
"You're mistaken. Huh? Where was I? Oh, when the second host was fourteen, he was tricked by his siblings into spending the night in the mountains and almost got killed by wolves..."
It's almost 1:00 AM.
"...almost there." After a moment of silence, the Ancestral Gu finally answered her question directly.
He didn't actually want to tell any silly stories.
"If it really is her older sister, she would rather be dead."
"If you go out now, it's all over."
"...How much longer do you need?"
"One day, no, tonight... no, that's not right! Again and again... two hours! Two hours will do!"
"Two hours... If it were me, wouldn't I be able to hold on for even ten breaths?"
“He won’t let you go once you step out of this door.”
Today's deliberate probing, while achieving the desired result, also severely provoked him.
"......" Was she afraid?
She was terrified, otherwise she wouldn't have risked her life to survive until today.
"Go to sleep, we can't afford to lose."
Yes, they can't afford to lose.
We're so close! Once we get out, all our efforts will be in vain.
No one can afford to fail at the last hurdle.
Can--
"Sizzle!" A tearing sound finally broke the silence.
The "yin-yuan rope" has fallen.
The moment the wound was bandaged, moonlight suddenly broke through and shone on her face.
She tied up her hair and picked up her bow and arrows.
"Now..." The moment the door opened, the not-so-bright Gu guard had his throat slit by Baili Ce.
But after the Gu Guard fell to the ground, what appeared in their sight was an endless black cloud.
Standing before the densely packed Gu guards, Jiu Er said, "Madam, it's not too late to turn back now."
Wipe the blood off the arrowhead, nock it on the bow, and draw it fully.
"I've always been curious about just how good your archery is."
