Chapter 768 - 762: The Stubborn Taoist
Gu Youyou knew that Jin Zijin would come at night, so she had put some medicine in the water she gave to Xiang Chun to drink ahead of time.
It really was tough on the girl, but there was no other way, it was better that she did not know. Such things are hard to explain!
The deep night at Qi Mountain was especially silent; when he arrived, the glow of the crescent moon had already filled the windowsill.
Gu Youyou tucked herself into the quilt pretending to be asleep. The visitor’s steps were light, but he knew that she had heard him, her hearing was extraordinary.
"Pretending?" He gently lifted a corner of the quilt, a pronounced smile on his lips.
"Mhm!" The person under the quilt responded with a voice trembling with suppressed laughter, barely able to contain the urge to jump out and pull him into the quilt.
"Well then, I’ll come back later." He probably knew she had been holding back uncomfortably, so he pretended to leave.
This time, Gu Youyou couldn’t hold back anymore. She threw back the quilt with one swift motion, and with that force, she hooked her arms around his neck, pulling him onto the bed.
Gu Youyou, panting heavily, pushed Jin Zijin away and spoke with a tinge of complaint, "When will you finally marry me openly and honestly? Is it because I can’t take it anymore? We are not saints, ah, you as a Taoist surely don’t understand."
Jin Zijin held her tightly, slowly calming his racing heart, and said, "Why do I feel like ’Taoist’ is a word you use with disdain when you speak of it?"
Gu Youyou said, "That’s right, in our place ’Taoist’ is indeed a term people disdain."
