章 342: The Crown Prince Was Really A Helpful Person!

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

She assumed Rong Jialuo was the one who sent Prince Long and his subordinates to the ice land and the pills were prepared for her!

She did not expect that she would get the pills back in this form after she gave it to someone else.

Gu Xijiu felt warm and touched. She was so grateful to have a crown prince as her friend!

Although she might not be able to use the pills, she accepted his offer and decided to try her best to help him in the future if necessary. She pondered and then thanked him.

She drew 10 pills from the crystal bottle and then kept them in her jade bottle. She pushed the remaining 20 pills back to Rong Jialuo and said, "10 pills are sufficient."

She has done some research about the geography and landscape of the Dark Forest. Based on her Kung Fu, she should be able to escape in less than 10 days if her starting point was at the third peak.

Rong Jialuo stopped and pondered, "Xijiu, I’ve spent eight days to escape from the third peak… I know your Qing Gong is amazing, but we need to take precaution in case things go south. Let’s do this; you keep 20 pills, that’s the minimum!"

His gaze was full of seriousness.

Gu Xijiu pondered and then promised, "Alright, I’ll keep another 10 pills then."

She decided to return all the remaining pills to him when she comes out from the Dark Forest. Since she could not reveal her identity as ‘Chong Sheng,' she did not explain further.

Rong Jialuo felt relieved when he saw her keep the 20 pills. He then took out a storage bag from his sleeve and took out its contents one by one. That included a super sharp knife, a solid golden silk glove, a protective suit made from pangolin, etc., until there was no space for him to put anything on the table.

"Xijiu, the Dark Forest is a perilous place. These things could help to protect you, and the probability for you to escape would increase!"

Gu Xijiu looked at all the weapons and then looked at him again, "Your Highness is a very kind person, I'm afraid I can't accept it…"

She could identify that those things were precious and everyone was looking for it in the market! However, the crown prince was not the favorite person in the parliament, and his residence was not as plentiful as what people thought. Those precious weapons were probably all his assets.

That made the weapons even more precious, and she was afraid that she could not compensate him in the future.

Rong Jialuo seemed to know her concern and smiled, "You've overthought, I'm not giving all of these to you. I'm lending them to you. You need to return it to me when you are out."

"What if I can’t make it?" Gu Xijiu simply asked.

"No, you’ll come back!" Rong Jialuo said firmly, "I believe in you!"

Gu Xijiu replied, "I'm grateful for Your Highness' offer, but I haven't achieved anything, and I shouldn't be rewarded."

"Xijiu, you’ve saved my life, and you treated my illness, you deserve it no matter what! I'll give it to you."

Gu Xijiu remained silent.

She understood that the crown prince has found out the identity of the person who helped him to treat his illness. He just did not mention it previously.

She decided to be frank, "That was just a trade, Your Highness doesn't owe me anything."

Rong Jialuo looked at her and said, "Xijiu, what are you trying to avoid?"

Gu Xijiu frowned, "Huh?"

Rong Jialuo sighed, "I realized you'd set a barrier towards every man. Are you afraid to owe them something and don't want to have any further relationships with them? Don't worry, not everyone would be like Rong Yan, at least I'm… still a reliable person."

章 343: She Has Now Set A Strong Barrier To Men

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Xijiu was silent. Rong Jialuo seemed to have misunderstood that she was hurt by Rong Yan. However, what he said kind of made sense. She had now set a firm barrier towards men.

That was because she had not seen any happy ending relationships in her previous and current life. She found out that men were usually not loyal in a relationship and they were cold-blooded! For example, Gu Xietian, Long Xi, and Rong Yan.

Thus, she did not want to be involved in any relationship anymore. She would immediately stop the interaction as soon as she sensed the intention from the other party.

Rong Jialuo was depressed, but he managed to hide it. He coughed and said, "Don’t worry, Xijiu. I’ve no special intention; I treat you as my good friend. How could I not help my good friend when she needs help? Besides that, this is all I can help already, if you think this is more than what you can accept, why not you do me a favor?"

"What’s up?"

"There’s an iron beast at the second peak in the Dark Forest; its heart could be a drug primer for me to produce some medicine to enhance my skills. Could you help me to get one?"

Since he had asked for it, Gu Xijiu could not say no, "Deal!"

Rong Jialuo stopped frowning and smiled and then continued to explain how to operate those weapons.

After watching her try every single weapon, he kept all of them into the storage bag again and then passed it to her.

After that, Rong Jialuo explained about the things she should pay more attention to in the Dark Forest. Two hours had passed when he finished explaining.

Initially, Rong Jialuo thought of treating Gu Xijiu to a meal. However, he suddenly noticed that Gu Xijiu was unwell as her face was ashen.

"What happened, Xijiu? You don’t look well." He immediately checked her pulse.

Gu Xijiu tried to avoid and shook her head, "I’m fine, I’m just tired."

"Are you sure?" Rong Jialuo was still worried.

"Yes, you’ve checked my pulse just now."

"But you don't look well… You should get some rest." Rong Jialuo stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back."

Gu Xijiu nodded, and when she was trying to get up from the chair, they heard some noises from outside.

A lady snarled, "Rong Chu, don’t try to fool me! You’ve been very close to Yun Qingluo recently! Are you trying to hook up with her since you go to her residence every day!? Are you planning to marry her as your official wife!?"

"Crap! What are you talking about?! I got the decree from His Majesty to visit her. She is the heavenly gifted disciple and also a visitor from our neighbor country, I was assigned to bring her around in the capital city." Rong Chu raised his voice.

"Hng! Don’t try to fool me! His Majesty assigned the crown prince, not you!" The lady said furiously.

Gu Xijiu looked at Rong Jialuo who was standing beside her. Rong Jialuo coughed once but remained silent.

"Zhao Er, this is too much! His Majesty assigned two of us to go but my elder brother is busy practicing his Kung Fu, so I must go alone." Rong Chu explained firmly.

"Hng! Stop fooling me! I know you have other plans! You like her, don’t you? I don’t mind to tell you that you will never succeed! She has someone already!"

Rong Chu was shocked and asked, "Is she engaged? To who? Based on the info I have, she is the saint of the Haoyue Kingdom, and a saint can never simply get engaged. I didn't hear that she had been engaged to anyone."

"Celestial Master Zuo!" The lady threw a 'bomb' to him!
