By the lake, under the shade of large fish was pierced through its mouth and buttocks and hung on a pile of firewood. As the wooden stick rotated, the skin of the roasted fish made a sizzling sound. On one side, a handsome young man in brocade clothes skillfully took out various seasonings from his ring and added them to the fish.
Gu Xun'er sat beside Yao Yan, chin in hand, watching everything quietly, as if she had not yet recovered from the embrace at the bottom of the lake... She just threw herself into his arms, and he held her waist. That burning breath still lingers in her heart.
Just thinking about it, my heart beat faster.
She couldn't help but glance at her fiancé who looked like nothing had happened. She felt inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. The girl's mind was like a ball of wool with a thread ending, becoming more and more tangled the more she tried to untangle it. She had an indescribable feeling of sourness, feeling stuck in the middle.
Yao Yan looked at the big fish that was grilled to a golden brown, sniffed it, nodded with satisfaction, sprinkled the final seasoning on it, and then handed it to Gu Xun'er, saying softly: "Try it, my skills should not have regressed."
He had survived in the wild for several years and learned the technique of grilling fish at that time.
It’s simple, practice makes perfect.
Gu Xun'er looked at the grilled fish handed to her, smelled the fragrance, and felt a pang of hunger in her stomach. Without much hesitation, she took the grilled fish from Yao Yan's hand, then pointed to the bottles and jars on the side and asked curiously, "Do you always carry seasonings with you?"
"When I was training in the wild before, I always had to find ways to get enough food and clothing." Yao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Try it."
Gu Xun'er did not doubt that Yao Yan had drugged her. With his strength, if he really wanted to do something to her, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble. She carefully tore off a piece of fish meat from the belly and put it into her mouth elegantly. Then, a strange color flashed across her cold eyes. She quickened her swallowing speed. After she swallowed the fish meat in her mouth, she said to Yao Yan, "It's delicious~"
"If you like it, eat more. If I have the chance in the future, I can cook for you often... Actually, I am quite interested in cooking." Yao Yan thought of his previous life and smiled softly.
Gu Xun'er was stunned when she heard this. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Yao Yan was sincere or just said that on purpose. The other party was a powerful man who was about to become a Dou Sheng, yet he was actually interested in cooking... In fact, she had only known him for a short time, less than two days.
But in just two days, she had already thrown herself into the other's arms, and she didn't even feel any disgust in her heart... This was wrong.
"You are really amazing~" Gu Xun'er pondered for a moment before slowly looking up at Yao Yan. Her moist lips moved slightly, and she spoke in a cold and rational voice: "It's only been two days, and I actually have some...good feelings for you! You seem to be very good at dealing with women."
Her clear and intellectual eyes blinked slightly, her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and Yao Yan's face was reflected in her eyes, as if she wanted to really see the appearance of the person in front of her.
Because they have been together for so long, Gu Xun'er is not sure whether the other party is really like this or just pretending to be like this for her.
"Are you good at dealing with women?" Yao Yan frowned slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "Did I deceive you?"
Gu Xun'er thought about it, shook her head slightly, then looked at the fragrant grilled fish in her hand and whispered, "It must be because you are too strong. When I am with you, I feel unreal... Because we are not equal, I feel a little scared in my heart, afraid that all this is fake."
Yao Yan listened patiently to Gu Xun'er's words, and then said calmly: "Time is the best answer. You and I have only known each other for two days, so it is natural that you will be a little confused. After a long time, you will naturally know what kind of person I am."
"But I don't have much time left. I want to return to the ancient world!" Gu Xun'er raised her head seriously and looked at her fiancé whom she had only known for two days. "...I don't want to leave you behind for too long!"
"Competitiveness?" Yao Yan said after hearing this.
"Yes, a little. The main reason is that my fighting spirit is too weak. There is a huge gap between us, which makes me feel a little uneasy." Gu Xun'er admitted frankly.
"Are you worried that I will bully you?" Yao Yan smiled and teased softly.
"You did bully me!" Gu Xun'er glared at Yao Yan and said confidently, "How can you just hold a girl's hand? Especially in public. What's more, you...you just hugged me!"
After she finished speaking, the girl's fair face turned slightly red, and her eyes were a little misty, but she suppressed her inner shyness and stared at Yao Yan fiercely, as if she felt that this was very powerful and could suppress Yao Yan!
But she didn't know how attractive she looked at this moment.
"I will be responsible." Yao Yan looked at the girl with a smile, his eyes gentle, and promised softly.
The little courage that the girl had finally mustered was completely drained away by this sentence. She was so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to Yao Yan anymore. She lowered her head and ate her meal, taking small bites. After most of the fish was gone, the girl's belly didn't even rise or fall at all.
Yao Yan was admiring the girl eating. The beautiful woman ate very elegantly, just like a painting. "I'll leave the fish head and tail for you!" Gu Xun'er angrily handed the remaining fish to Yao Yan.
"You have a pretty bad personality." Yao Yan took the fish head and while processing the edible parts, he gave a summary to the girl.
"You teach well~" Gu Xun'er said with a smile.
Yao Yan laughed when he heard this, and then while eating the tender meat of the fish head, he said to the girl: "When do you plan to return to the ancient tribe?"
"Maybe in a few days~" Gu Xun'er restrained her smile and said slowly.
"Okay, I'll go to the Ancient Clan to see you when I have time." Yao Yan looked at the girl and promised.
"Ok!"
The girl's eyebrows were slightly curved, and she and the young man reached an agreement under the shade of the tree.
……
……
Gu Xun'er is a person of action. The few days she mentioned were only two and a half days, and she was taken back to the ancient world by Gu Yuan across billions of miles. It seemed that he was afraid that if he was a few days late, his precious daughter would be gone. Before leaving, Gu Xun'er left a dark golden fighting scroll for Yao Yan as a return gift for the bracelet.
I have to say that Gu Xun'er is indeed a rich woman. The fighting skill she took out was actually the Emperor Seal Technique, not a fragmentary one, but a complete version with all five seals!
The Emperor's Seal Technique is powerful enough to rival Heaven-level fighting skills!
In this regard.
Yao Yan was really curious about Gu Yuan's reaction, but also a little puzzled. Gu Xun'er didn't seem to be the kind of irrational girl. They had been together for less than five days, and Xiao Xun'er had some feelings for him at most, but she was still far from marrying him. So why would she give him the Emperor Seal?
He couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it anymore. Anyway, they would have the chance to meet again in the future and he could ask her in person then.
After sending Gu Xun'er away, Yao Yan said goodbye to Xiao Zhan, explained that Xiao Xun'er had left, and left the Xiao family despite the other party's attempts to keep her.
……
ancient world.
Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then he slowly said, "Did you give him the complete version of the Emperor's Seal?"
"Yeah!" Gu Xun'er nodded slightly and responded softly.
"You have only known each other for a few days?" Gu Yuan felt a little dizzy and raised his hand to touch his forehead, finding it hard to accept. When did his daughter become so easily deceived? In just five days, she even gave away the family's inherited fighting skills. If she really married that kid Hun Yan in the future, wouldn't she be giving away the entire Gu clan?
Gu Xun'er didn't care and used her trump card: smiling slightly and remaining silent.
As for the reason for giving away the Emperor Seal, it was naturally not because she fell in love with Yao Yan. She had some affection for him, but it was still far from love. What's more, the girl didn't know what love was. She did this just to piss off Gu Yuan and those old guys from the ancient clan!
They decided to marry her to Hun Yan without her consent and form an alliance with the Hun Clan. She would never forgive herself if she didn't express her anger.
What could Gu Yuan do? He could only hold his nose and bear it. He looked at his "good daughter" and said helplessly: "Forget it, just send it away. As long as the boy doesn't spread it, it's not a big deal... I will help you deal with the elders. You can practice with peace of mind and catch up with him as soon as possible. Only in this way can you truly decide your own destiny!"
"Then I'll go practice~" Gu Xun'er responded with a smile, turned and walked towards her own courtyard, planning to go into seclusion for a while.
Gu Yuan watched his daughter leave, but the expression in his eyes became a little gloomy. He had planned everything, but he had never expected that Yao Yan could win his daughter so easily. Given his daughter's previous personality, how could she fall in love with someone so quickly.
That guy is simply evil! (End of this chapter)
