章節 341: Everything Went Wrong Just After A Minor Mistakes

編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation

She used her Qing Gong to disappear and left without returning.

Gu Xietian was stunned! He could not accept what had just happened.

Rong Jialuo flashed a glance at Gu Xietian, "General Gu, I’ve got something to tell you. While investigating the case, it was found that Gu Tiannuo didn’t intentionally run into the Dark Forest but was lured by someone who was trying to kill him…"

Gu Xietian was more shocked and asked in surprise, "Who was that!?"

"You should know who." Rong Jialuo laughed and then flew away.

A strong wind blew until Gu Xietian’s hair danced messily in the air. He stared at Leng Xiangyu’s corpse and felt like cutting her into pieces!

He recalled Leng Xiangyu taking the initiative to make him a cup of tea, and after he drank it… That was the reason he had to marry her helplessly later.

He did not expect that everything could go wrong after a minor mistake! He leaned on the wall and looked up to the sky, "Xing, is this karma? If I didn’t break my promise…"

...

Inside a vintage restaurant, Gu Xijiu was looking at the crystal bottle on the table. There were 30 pieces of red crystal pills in the jar.

Fourth-grade Asura pills.

"Your Highness, this is?" Gu Xijiu raised her head and looked at Rong Jialuo who was making tea in the opposite direction.

The crown prince of the Feixing Kingdom was an expert in tea ceremonies. Every motion of his preparation was very charming.

Gu Xijiu insisted on breaking the bond between her and Gu Xietian; she decided to move out from the General’s residence.

She did not bring a single penny from the General's residence when she left. She decided to find a hotel to stay for a few days as she was going to the Dark Forest in three days time. It did not make sense for her to rent a house since she would probably change her identity after she escapes from the Dark Forest.

However, she did not expect the crown prince could find her in such a short period of time.

Rong Jialuo asked her what her plan for the future was. Of course, she could not tell him the truth but only told him she needed to find a hotel and would leave the rest to fate if she comes out from the Dark Forest. Rong Jialuo frowned and brought her somewhere.

He told her that it would indirectly affect her identity if she stayed in a hotel as she was the disciple of The Lord. Besides that, it was not safe to stay in a hotel. It was better to rent a house.

The crown prince seemed to be somewhat free and familiar with real estate. Very soon, they have found a suitable house. The house was quite lovely, and the ambiance was peaceful. There were three entrances and three exits with many beautiful types of furniture. Everything was well prepared, and she could move in at any time she wanted.

Rumor said that it was a private mansion owned by a count, he had been promoted and rewarded another more prominent residence. Thus, the whole family has moved to the new estate and decided to put the private mansion for rent.

It was already noon after they settled all the rent procedures. Rong Jialuo suggested to have tea and told her frankly that he was expecting Gu Xijiu to pay. Of course, Gu Xijiu could not reject, and hence they were here.

The restaurant was located in a quiet place. The layout was classic, and the plants and pavilions were specially designed. Apparently, it was a place where all the rich people and royal family would come.

Right after they sat down, Rong Jialuo took out the crystal bottle and pushed it towards Gu Xijiu while he was waiting for the water to boil before he made the tea.

There were Asura pills in the crystal bottle.

As the crown prince heard her question, he answered, "These are Asura pills, it could protect you from poisonous gases. Bring this along to the Dark Forest, and consume one every day."

Gu Xijiu finally noticed that Prince Long worked under Rong Jialuo’s supervision.

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

編輯: 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."
