Chapter 732: Awakening
Could this girl be the illegitimate daughter of the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor?
"...Impossible, impossible."
The idea made even the golden bird laugh. It shook its head, shaking off the jumbled thoughts in its mind.
If the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor had a man, that would be even more explosive news than starting a war with the Immortal Realm.
Furthermore, if she has a man, how amazing must that man be to be worthy of her?
The golden bird stared at the bathtub for a while longer, but finally couldn't resist the temptation to become stronger, and stole a few more sips.
Bath water tastes so good, hahaha!
It felt the power within its body rapidly increasing, becoming more and more abundant, like a volcano about to erupt with molten lava, and it felt wonderful.
It truly is a divine bath!
"Well……"
Suddenly, the white-haired girl in the bathtub let out a low moan, her eyelashes fluttering twice. The golden bird was so frightened that it trembled all over and almost fell off the edge of the bathtub.
"Huh? She's about to wake up!"
The golden bird quickly flew to the windowsill and stood there, no longer daring to drink the medicinal soup in the bathtub.
However, just from those few sips it drank, its strength has increased dramatically, breaking through to the tenth level of Demon Emperor, only one step away from Demon Emperor!
What a pity! If I had drunk more bathwater, I might have broken through to the next level.
But Jin Niao was still a little hesitant, after all, if the girl woke up later and saw a strange bird standing on the bathtub, she might be so frightened that she would cry.
If Mr. Gu returns and finds out what happened, I might soon become a golden roasted bird with crispy skin and tender meat.
So it could only take one long, reluctant look at the medicinal liquid in the bathtub.
It decided that if it ever encountered such a good thing again, it would never let it go, even at the risk of being burned to ashes. It would eat it all up, leaving not a single scrap!
Mr. Gu is using such a top-grade medicine to treat her; isn't he afraid that the medicine will overwhelm her?
Or is it that this girl does have something special that she doesn't seem to have?
……
"Mr. Gu, the girl is awake!"
Gu Heng had just returned when he heard the golden bird flapping its wings and calling out. To be honest, its call sounded quite like a parrot's, a bit shrill.
"woke up?"
He hurried over and found that the white-haired girl in the bathtub had opened her eyes, and she had also heard Gu Heng's footsteps and turned her head to look.
Then Gu Heng was stunned.
Her ice-blue pupils were so pure and without any impurities that she stared at him without blinking.
Gu Heng hadn't noticed her earlier, but now he had a chance to appreciate her properly. She had extremely delicate features, with a touch of childishness in her eyes. She sat quietly in the bathtub, as if she hadn't yet understood what was happening to her.
There's a kind of endearing naiveté beneath the surface of indifference.
She was looking directly at Gu Heng, her gaze clear and distant.
Her expression was calm and peaceful, neither making a fuss nor showing any signs of pain or struggle. This appearance was somewhat peculiar, as if she were recalling past memories. Gu Heng waved his hand in front of her: "Little girl, how are you feeling?"
The white-haired girl remained silent for a while.
She turned her head and looked at Gu Heng with a complex expression in her eyes.
"I...you saved me?"
"Yes, I found you in the mountains."
Gu Heng looked into her eyes: "Do you remember what happened?"
The white-haired girl's pupils suddenly contracted. She bit her lip, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she shook her head: "I don't remember."
She looked at the medicinal soup in the bathtub and then fell silent.
"Ok."
Gu Heng looked at her: "You still remember your name, right?"
“…Ning Hanyan,” the white-haired girl said calmly.
"It sounds nice." Gu Heng felt that the atmosphere was a bit off, but he didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject, "Miss Ning, are you starving? Tell me what you want to eat and I'll go and prepare it for you."
"No need, I'm not hungry."
Ning Hanyan shook her head, then turned her gaze to the golden bird. Seeing its small, golden plumage, she was startled. "This bird is…"
She pointed to the golden bird and asked.
"Oh, I found it in the mountains. It's just a little intelligent. Don't bother with it."
After Gu Heng finished his introduction, the golden bird immediately chirped at her, as if to tell her that it was indeed a little bird with "some intelligence".
"Okay, if you feel much better, I bought some clothes that fit you and I'll put them on your bed." "We'll talk when you're ready to talk."
He put the clothes on the bed and then went outside.
"Thank you."
Ning Hanyan watched his retreating figure and muttered to herself.
