Chapter 728: Take her with me
Gu Heng was truly enraged.
This bird is up to no good! It just came out of the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor's back garden, and now it's actually barged into his boudoir!
He was a respectable gentleman who had never touched any woman except for his disciple's little hands and his cat's paws. Now, well... Luckily, Qin Yiyao would never find out about this, otherwise, he, as her master, would lose all face!
"Ouch! What are you doing! It hurts so much, Mr. Gu, are you trying to crush me to death?!"
The golden bird struggled and cried out, but it couldn't break free from Gu Heng's control at all.
"Crush you to death? That's too lenient!"
Gu Heng snorted coldly. He was furious and wished he could roast the golden bird and eat it. Roasted bird always tasted pretty good.
"Oh dear, Mr. Gu, please calm down. Only the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor can enter the Tranquil Garden, so this one and only door can only lead here!"
The golden bird struggled to defend itself.
It didn't mean to harm this big shot; how could it dare?
But if I want to leave Jingxinyuan, there's really no other way!
"Really?"
"Yes, I wouldn't dare lie to you!"
The golden bird looks so pitiful T^T
Gu Heng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest.
Well, what the Golden Bird said is actually correct. Since it is a garden that only the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor can enter and exit, why can't the entrance be placed in his own boudoir?
This is even more convenient; if you don't sleep comfortably in the room, you can go to the garden to enjoy nature.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng stopped worrying and let go of her hand.
The golden bird finally caught its breath; it had felt death was just a hair's breadth away!
"Where is this boudoir? It can't be inside a palace, can it?"
"Don't worry, the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor prefers quiet and never lives in the main city of the Scorching Sun Demon Realm, but in the suburbs. As far as I know, the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor was summoned by the Most Demon Tower a few days ago, and all the Demon Emperors went there. She won't be back for a while."
"Moreover, she lives alone and has no maids or guards."
The golden bird flapped its short wings.
Actually, when the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor left, he came to find it, saying that he was going to the Most Demonic Tower. But logically speaking, the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor should have returned by now... Its plan just now was actually to let this Mr. Gu run into the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor, and then the two powerful figures would meet, and it would take the opportunity to escape.
result.
The Scorching Sun Demon Emperor has not returned yet.
There's nothing we can do about it then; for now, we can only continue to follow Gu Heng.
"Then we should leave quickly; we shouldn't stay any longer."
Gu Heng strode away, pushed open the door, and found that outside the boudoir was a quiet little courtyard nestled among the mountains and forests.
There wasn't much in the courtyard, just a few flowers and plants, and a rather simple little pavilion. Inside the pavilion was a stone bench and a stone table with tea sets on it. He went over to take a look; the tea wasn't finished yet, but it had already gone cold.
It seems that the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor was summoned away while having tea, and has not returned since.
Very good. I can leave quietly now!
Gu Heng wanted to sit directly on the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc and then fly away, but in the Demon Realm, he decided he couldn't be so high-profile.
"I don't have a map. How much do you know about this Scorching Sun Demon Realm?"
"Hey, Mr. Gu, I know almost every place in this Demon Realm. I am the Golden-Winged Roc, and the vast sky is my home!"
The golden bird proudly raised its head and flapped its short wings a few times.
Before being subdued by the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor, it was a famous king of demonic beasts in the Demon Realm. It had been to all thirty major domains of the Demon Realm, and even some dangerous and deadly places outside the thirty major domains.
Mr. Gu is new here and doesn't know the way?
That's okay, it's the best guide!
"Alright, give me directions to the nearest city so I can settle down temporarily and figure out the current situation." Gu Heng stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.
He felt he should try to keep a low profile now.
“From here, head northwest to leave this nameless mountain range, and then follow the main road to find a city.”
"Then let's go there."
Gu Heng left the courtyard and headed northwest. The mountains and forests were silent, as if there were no birds or beasts to be seen.
After walking for two or three hours, the golden bird was the first to notice something was wrong.
"Mr. Gu, look ahead!"
"Ok?"
There seems to be a figure over there!
Gu Heng looked in the direction the golden bird pointed and found that there was lush vegetation not far away, and in the place covered with fallen leaves, there really seemed to be a... little girl lying there?
Although there was some distance between them, he was still a celestial being, so they were certain that they hadn't misjudged him.
How come there's a little girl in these mountains?
He vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but thanks to the golden bird's reminder, he quickly walked forward.
Let's take a closer look.
Sure enough, the fallen leaves under the tree covered most of the girl's body. He squatted down and parted the leaves, only to find that the girl had snow-white hair, which was also stained with a lot of blood.
This little girl is injured!
"I didn't sense any aura at all, how strange..." the golden bird murmured.
How come there's a little girl who looks so unfamiliar in this place?
However, this white-haired creature does resemble the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor, but it remembers the Blazing Sun Demon Emperor's aura very clearly, and it has nothing to do with this little girl. "Turn your bird head away."
"what?"
"It looks like this little girl isn't wearing any clothes. You're not allowed to look."
"But I'm just a little bird that knows nothing."
"You can twist it, or I can help you twist it..."
"I come!"
The golden bird turned its head away, but secretly grumbled to itself.
Damn it, if you want to eat alone, just say so. Why do you have to act like such a gentleman? What Mr. Gu? He's just a beast. I bet he's ruined a lot of young girls in the past!
Gu Heng picked up the white-haired girl from the pile of fallen leaves and discovered that she wasn't as young as she seemed. She appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a youthful figure. Her naked, snow-white body was covered with particularly terrifying markings, as if she had been struck by lightning. Her injuries were definitely not optimistic.
Gu Heng casually took a quilt from his system backpack and wrapped it around her.
Her face was extremely pale, and her breathing was so weak that it seemed as if she would stop breathing at any moment.
Gu Heng thought about it and realized that he was already surrounded by troubles, and now he had to take care of a sick person as well...
Do you know who this is?
Gu Heng asked.
The golden bird glanced at it and shook its head.
“I don’t recognize her at all. She’s badly injured and doesn’t seem to have much cultivation left. She was probably chased into the mountains. These mountains are forbidden territory, and the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor doesn’t allow uninvited guests to enter.”
“Those guys chasing her probably don’t have the guts to come in. They probably think that if this little girl is discovered by the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor, she’ll be dead for good.” “Then I’ll take her with me.”
Gu Heng carried the seemingly weightless white-haired girl and continued forward.
"Mr. Gu might run into other troubles with this burden," Jin Niao warned.
"I don't intend to let her die." Gu Heng thought of the scene when he first found the little girl, and his arm tightened.
You're not planning to let someone die without offering help?
The golden bird scoffed.
Who knew Mr. Gu was such a philanthropist...
