As they passed a stall, Lu Miao suddenly stopped in her tracks. Behind the stall, a huge flapping moth noticed her and immediately picked up the pearl she was interested in. With its beady black eyes, the moth said, “Guest, care to gamble? Guess which hand the pearl is in, and it’s yours.”
Lu Miao’s eyelids lifted slightly, “What if I guess wrong?”
“Then it belongs to me,” the moth pointed at Gu Shiyan.
“No gambling,” Lu Miao refused directly.
“Don’t be hasty, dear guest. How about three chances?” the moth tempted.
Lu Miao couldn’t be bothered and was about to leave.
In the next moment, Gu Shiyan said, “Alright, I’ll gamble with you.”
The moth instantly fluttered its wings in excitement and flew to Gu Shiyan. After hiding its hands behind its back, it extended six fists towards Gu Shiyan. After observing for a moment, Gu Shiyan pointed to the leftmost hand, “This one.”
The moth smiled, opening the hand to reveal nothing, “First guess, wrong.” The second guess was also wrong.
“This is your last chance. If you guess wrong again, you belong to me,” the moth said, grinning eagerly and drooling.
Gu Shiyan reached out and pointed to its left hand, but the moth’s hand twitched slightly. Gu Shiyan immediately pointed to its other hand before it could move.
Lu Miao coldly interjected, ‘You have too many hands!”
With that, she took out a peach wood sword from her spatial pendant and swung it at the moth’s hand.
Startled, the moth quickly opened its tightly clenched fist and handed the pearl to Gu Shiyan, saying, “He won, he won. The pearl is yours.” Only then did Lu Miao retract her wooden sword.
The moth whispered, “Why are you scarier than that Yaksha?”
Seeing Lu Miao ready to swing her sword again, it flapped its wings and fled.
Gu Shiyan couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you always this fierce outside?” Lu Miao glanced at him coldly, “Who’s fierce?”
“I am! I’m fierce!” Gu Shiyan quickly changed his tune and handed her the pearl, “Here, take it.”
Lu Miao took a look, “This is the Deceptive Butterfly, cunning and full of tricks. Losing to it would result in having your brain sucked dry. It’s not worth risking yourself for a pearl.”
“If you want it, then it’s worth it,” Gu Shiyan said nonchalantly.
Suddenly, Lu Miao’s heart thumped wildly for a few moments, and she tightened her grip on the pearl.
Just as she was about to speak, she raised her head and realized that Gu Shiyan, who had been following behind her, had already disappeared.
Just as she was about to speak, Lu Miao looked up and found that Gu Shiyan, who had been following her, had disappeared without a trace.O
Immediately, she scanned her surroundings. The street was still bustling with various creatures, but in just a few seconds, Gu Shiyan was nowhere to be seen.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have let go of his hand earlier.
Lu Miao’s face turned serious. Whoever dared to abduct someone in front of her was as good as dead!
As for Gu Shiyan, he had been following Lu Miao closely. Just as he was about to reach out and hold her hand again, he felt her slightly chilly touch on his hand. The next moment, he found himself back at Lingyue Residence.
Back so soon?
Where was Lu Miao?
Gu Shiyan turned around and looked around the living room, but he was the only one there.
“Miao Miao, Miao Miao?”
No one responded, and it seemed that Lu Yinan was not there either.
He glanced outside and saw that it was still dark.
Gu Shiyan frowned. Could something have happened to Lu Miao in the ghost market?
He quickly went upstairs to Lu Miao’s room and knocked on the door.
“Miao Miao, Miao Miao.”
“Coming.”
Lu Miao’s voice came from inside the room, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Gu Shiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He shifted his feet and, for some reason, felt that the floor seemed a bit off.
It was like he was stepping on cotton, soft and unstable.
He looked down at the floor but didn’t notice anything unusual.
Bending down, he pressed the floor with force, and to his surprise, the hard marble floor was indented.
Frowning, he was still puzzled when the door in front of him opened, and Lu Miao walked out, wrapped in a white jade towel.
The towel was barely long enough to cover her legs, revealing her fair and straight legs underneath.
Her bare feet were not even wearing slippers, and on the floor behind her were clear footprints with water stains.
Her damp long hair hung in front of her, blocking most of her snow-white skin, and a perfect curve was faintly visible beneath the cover of her hair.
Gu Shiyan’s heart rate, which had just relaxed, shot up to 200 again. He immediately stood up and took off his coat, draping it over her shoulders, and explained, “I called you downstairs just now, but you didn’t respond, so I came to check on you.”
“I’m fine. Are you hurt?” Lu Miao smiled and spoke while lifting her leg to check. However, her foot suddenly slipped, and she accidentally twisted, falling straight to the side.
Involuntarily, she exclaimed, “Gu Shiyan! ”
Gu Shiyan quickly and lightning-fast, reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his embrace.
In that instant, the coat draped over her fell, and her already loosely hanging jade towel slipped down even further.
Lu Miao blushed instantly and shyly burrowed into his arms.
After giving her the coat, he was left with only a thin T-shirt on his body.
At this moment, her warm and soft body was tightly pressed against him.
Gu Shiyan’s breath instantly choked, and he forcibly suppressed the awakening down there. His voice became husky and unsteady, “Miao Miao, I won’t be able to control myself like this.”
The person in front of him not only didn’t hold back but even tiptoed and provocatively blew a breath into his ear, saying, “If you can’t control it, then don’t control it.”
Gu Shiyan lowered his head and looked at her pink little face in fascination. He raised his hand and pinched her chin. He could not help but want to kiss her directly.
Looking at her bashful eyelashes, no, Lu Miao would not be like this. Gu Shiyan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he instantly woke up.
He pushed the person in front of him away and quickly took a few steps back, away from that person.
As he retreated, the surrounding scene instantly changed.
It was not the Lingyue Manor, but a muddy beach.
The woman’s face also returned to its original appearance. It was the woman he saw sitting in the clam shell on the street.
She looked at him coquettishly.” Why aren’t you continuing? Don’t you like that woman? Isn’t it good for me to transform into her?”
“Get lost.” Gu Shiyan said sternly. He quickly turned his head to observe his surroundings, trying to find a way out.
“Stop looking. This is my barrier. You can’t get out.”
The woman smiled coquettishly and said, ” Why don’t you cultivate with me and I’ll let you out?”
