Adorable Creature Attacks! The Beauty Surrenders! Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s

"Ideal homeland?" Xiao Qi looked confused at Gu Qingyu, feeling some kind of strangeness to it.

Gu Qingyu scratched her head, "Heh, slip of the tongue……But that's not important! Xiao Qi, will you help me or not?"

Xiao Qi nodded hesitantly, "……Mm, ok! Young miss, as long you're happy, Xiao Qi will always help you!"

"Xiao Qi is the best~" Gu Qingyu hugged Xiao Qi like a spoiled child. Shortly after, she started to present and explain the plan to Xiao Qi, "First, we go like this…then like that…and so……"

Nightfall.

Gu Qingyu lightly cracked open Jia Qizhe's door.

Jia Qizhe was leaning against the door, dressed in a blue robe, he lightly brushed past Gu Qingyu, "I'm not sure what I can help Lady Gu with tonight?"

"Hero Jia!" Gu Qingyu stared at Jia Qizhe with utmost 'sincerity', "s.h.i.+t, your skills are really the bomb!"

"Mm, and?" Jia Qizhe looked at Gu Qingyu with a smiling expression, yet not smiling.

Gu Qingyu said with twinkling eyes, "For the sake of me a.s.sisting you last time, help me escape!"

"Escape? To where?" Jia Qizhe helplessly shook his head, "You said you a.s.sisted me? I was fine alone, you were the one that wanted to tag along in the first place? I've heard that the First Daughter of Gu Manor was very willful, and I can say that it's a well-deserved reputation."

"You!" Gu Qingyu held in the anger, and managed to squeeze out a smile, "Hero Jia~ Let's talk nicely~ I'll give you anything you want, only if you can help me out!"

"Oh? Anything?" He narrowed his eyes at her.

Gu Qingyu nodded her head wholeheartedly.

"I've traveled around the whole country on my own, solely wielding my sword. There's yet anything that I want." He playfully raised his eyebrows, "But, recently, I still seem to lack something……"

"Oh! What is it! Tell me!" Gu Qingyu excitingly asked.

Jia Qizhe hinted to Gu Qingyu to move closer, Gu Qingyu immediately leaned in closer. Jia Qizhe quietly whispered a few words to her.

Gu Qingyu nodded her head while listening, "Oh! So, you'll take me with you if I can help you with that thing?"

Jia Qizhe nodded.

"Oh yeah! Hero Jia, just wait for me to bring back this thing for you! She cheered and bounced away.

Jia Qizhe quickly restored to his usual cold look, but a faint smile could be seen at the corners of mouth.

What he just requested for was : Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s.

The Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s is a type of Gra.s.s with Spirituality, capable of creating hallucinations. It is extremely difficult for an average person to find it, not to mention to get it.

He really didn't want to have this young lady of Gu Manor following him, but regardless of what he wanted, to turn down her plainly wasn't too good, since she did actually help him in the morning.

Coming up with this kind of mission, should be more or less like a refusal……

Evening.

Gu Qingyu was feeling really pleased with herself, as she hummed and skipped towards the dining room.

Everyone was sitting down, and didn't seem to have begun yet.

"Father, I'm late, I hope you can forgive me." Gu Qingyu bowed.

"Yu'er, come and sit down." The man pointed towards a seat, and Gu Qingyu seated herself.

As it didn't seem to be any movements of the family members after the tense and anxious mealtime, Gu Qingyu finally let out a breath.

But!! She didn't even get to finish the breath!!

"Yu'er, the day after tomorrow is the annual art compet.i.tion, you should prepare yourself." Gu Qingyu's mother looked lovingly at her.

Gu Qingyu almost choked to death, "Art?"

"That's right, you wouldn't go no matter what before, but this time you must partic.i.p.ate, otherwise how could you qualify as a lady of Gu Manor!" An aunt said out of 'kindness'.

What's up with her being so happy at someone else's misery! Why don't you partic.i.p.ate!

Gu Qingyu really wanted to just shoot at her, but she restrained herself and coldly said, "Hmm, yeah, otherwise it would be a waste to have the First Daughter of Gu Manor as a t.i.tle."

She was reminding that auntie, anyhow, she will always be the first daughter of Gu Manor.

That woman seemed to blank out for a moment, she had never thought that there would be a day Gu Qingyu would begin to retort, even to the point of making her speechless……

After concluding the meal, Gu Qingyu decided to do some training on top of her roof, to see how good her cat demon magic is.

She arrived under the edges of the roof and lightly kicked on the ground with her leg……

Her body suddenly floated gracefully like a feather, up on the roof.

There seemed to be something on her rear end and top of her head……Gu Qingyu subconsciously touched it……It was a pair of fluffy and hairy ears and a really long tail!

Could these be the special features of a cat?

Gu Qingyu felt amazed and became very hopeful : With such lightness skills, I shouldn't have any issues to find that Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s, right?

She had asked Xiao Qi before. Not too far away from the city existed a mountain, and there are plenty of uncommon herbs on top of it.

So, Gu Qingyu just casually exercised little before jumping down, and returned to her room to sleep earlier.

After all, I should get up earlier tomorrow to go pick some herbs……

She didn't notice anything as there was a shadow that was secretly watching over her.

He showed up once Gu Qingyu left.

Dressed in a blue robe, with a faint smile touching his lips.
