Chapter 170: Going home
Her daughter didn't understand at the time.
There are many reasons for this, of course. For example, Luo Yu was struggling to survive in the forest, fighting until he was exhausted. When he happened to meet someone, he didn't have much free time to think about these things.
Moreover, someone who could casually give away a treasure comparable to a saint to a little girl must have a lot of resources.
The Luo family does possess sacred-grade magical treasures, but these are clan-protecting treasures and are rarely used!
Moreover, not to mention the Luo family, even those extraordinary forces would not give such a treasure as a gift.
Having figured this out, Luo Shangyun's gaze fell on Luo Yu, and she said with a smile, "Yu'er, you've received an incredible opportunity this time. Even the Luo family couldn't give you something this good!"
She put the sachet back into Luo Yu's hand.
This was an opportunity that belonged to Luo Yu. Although her mother was envious, she never thought of taking it away from Luo Yu.
What belongs to her will ultimately be hers.
Luo Shangyun had no reason not to be happy that her daughter had such a miraculous encounter in this forest where life was almost impossible.
The only drawback.
Luo Yu needs to broaden her horizons more!
Mistaking a strong person for a weak mortal is likely to cause trouble in the future.
"He...he's really not an ordinary person?"
Luo Yu held the sachet, her shock growing ever stronger.
Although she couldn't figure out what the secret of the sachet was... her physical body had undeniably become stronger! And this was given to her by Gu Heng!
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He actually gave me such a treasure?
Why is this?
Does he admire himself? Or does he simply think that this sachet, which is comparable to a sacred object, is so precious that it doesn't matter if he gives it away casually?
Luo Yu couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.
Because she knew that strong people sometimes act without reason.
"Of course not. The mystery of this sachet is beyond the comprehension of Elder Xu and me. How could someone who would give this to someone they've only met twice be an ordinary person?"
Luo Shangyun sighed softly: "Never mind, it's extremely rare to meet someone like that even once."
"It is fate that you were able to obtain this item."
"...Is that so..." Luo Yu clutched the sachet tightly in her hand, looking even more somber. However, Luo Shangyun knew this was for the better. It would be troublesome if she had feelings for a mortal, but if she were to fall for such a mysterious and powerful figure, there might be another chance in the future.
That depends on the baby girl's talent and destiny.
"Let's leave first. There's no need for us to stay in this Cloud Spirit Forest any longer."
Three streaks of light shot up from the ground and flew towards the far end of the sky.
The Cloud Spirit Forest has not yet returned to peace; the cries of demonic beasts still echo.
However, after losing two demon beast kings, the last Xuan Gu Demon King dragged his tortoise shell back to the small pond where he lived.
As always, the Xuan Gu Demon King did nothing.
It knew that all the demon kings were dead, and the two demon envoys seemed to have been brutally beaten by some human. It was fortunate that it hadn't acted rashly. It chose to continue to lie low.
But there's never anything wrong with lying low.
……
As the sun set, Gu Heng returned to Yunling City.
He first visited the tailor shop next door. During the days he was away, Qin Yiyao and Bai Feier had been taken care of by that female shop owner.
However, the tailor shop was closed today, so Gu Heng had no choice but to go back first.
Over the past three days, there seemed to be some dust and fallen leaves still accumulating in front of Gu's Medical Clinic. He pushed open the front door and could see figures busy in the kitchen.
"Ok?"
Gu Heng recognized her at a glance; it was Qin Yiyao.
The little girl is awake!
Gu Heng immediately quickened his pace. He arrived just in time to catch Qin Yiyao preparing dinner.
The little girl was in good spirits, with a rosy complexion, and looked completely recovered. She was wearing her favorite moon-white dress, but she seemed particularly troubled by how to use the stove.
Gu Heng already knew that Qin Yiyao couldn't cook.
"Yi Yao!"
Standing in the front hall, Gu Heng called out. Qin Yiyao looked over and, upon seeing Gu Heng, immediately beamed with joy and ran out.
"Master!"
She seemed especially happy, and her usually cool voice carried a hint of coquetry: "Where did you go?"
"I listened to someone's advice and went to the Cloud Spirit Forest to relax for a few days, but it seems there are some problems there. It's not safe to stay there any longer. Besides, I'm still thinking about you and Miss Fei'er."
It was only then that Gu Heng realized it.
Qin Yiyao's dress was stained with a lot of charcoal black. It seems she's trying to cook.
This is a bit difficult for the little girl.
"Let me handle the cooking. I've had a good haul in the forest these past few days; I've got quite a bit of meat."
Gu Heng knew what she was thinking, so he took over the cooking.
Qin Yiyao's lips curled up slightly: "That would be great."
"Meow~"
The little silver cat jumped down from the cabinet and stood on the consultation table. Gu Heng passed by and casually patted her head.
Well, after sleeping outside for three days, his own cozy little clinic definitely made him feel more at home. Even the kitten he was already quite familiar with made him feel like he had just started raising a pet again.
So cute~ "Is it Young Master Gu who's back?"
Footsteps came from upstairs. Looking over, Bai Feier was also awake and quickly went downstairs.
She is recovering very well.
They all rediscovered that vitality.
“Miss Fei’er, you… look very good.”
Gu Heng looked Bai Feier over and nodded in satisfaction.
Very good. It seems that my mortal medical skills can indeed treat some external injuries for cultivators. Although it still doesn't seem to be very competitive, that doesn't matter.
As long as her life can be saved, that's enough.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Gu, for saving my life. We've been awake for half a day now, but we haven't seen you since..."
Although Bai Feier looked much better, she still seemed somewhat guilty. After all, she knew she had made a promise to Gu Heng, but unfortunately, the person who came was still too powerful. "No need for further words, it's good that you're alright. Perfect timing, I'm going to prepare some good dishes, Miss Feier, please join us."
After Gu Heng finished speaking, he walked straight to the kitchen.
Qin Yiyao glanced at her sideways and silently stepped aside.
Bai Feier understood this action perfectly.
In the front hall, Su Jinxi, who licks her cat paws every day, with habits almost indistinguishable from those of a real wild cat, seems to have sensed something.
She silently looked up at the gradually darkening night outside.
It has the aura of a demon, and it's from the same race.
It seems like they're looking for her?
