章節 230: "Coolie"

During the two days they stayed in Xiping, Long Qiu was for the entire time secretly filled with joy, which she kept completely to herself.

It was a feeling hard to describe. She was close to Gu Yu and Xiaozhai both, but there was a subtle difference between the two.

She would not refuse her sister's cuddles and other affectations, but was very appropriate towards her brother. Despite their familiarity, she treated him with courtesy—unlike that little soap. That girl would not hesitate to pounce at Gu Yu when she was going crazy. Long Qiu would never do such things.

Back then, when Long Qiu was lying on the cold stone floor of that shrine with an unruly Golden Silkworm inside and a bunch of ignorant and base clansmen outside, she wished she were dead.

Then, Gu Yu appeared like a god descending from heaven and saved her from the misery.
