Chapter 97: Confession
In a moment of crisis, Gu Yu didn’t think too much and directly put his younger brother-in-law into his space.
However, after Gu Qingheng suddenly disappeared, the tiger immediately roared and quickly lunged towards the nearest Gu Yu.
A pair of tiger claws swung forward, and its ferocious appearance, trying to tear him apart, made Gu Yu scoff inwardly.
He thought that the tiger had chosen the wrong path, coming to seek its own death now!
Although Gu Yu had a bear in his space, the distance between Gu Yu and the tiger was extremely close. Even if he released the bear, it would be too late… However, Gu Yu could also collect the tiger into his space.
He could train it later, and it would be another fighter.
“Seeking death!!!”
However, before Gu Yu could put the tiger into his space, Gu Mengyao, who had just arrived, shouted loudly. Then, one fist hit the tiger’s head first, actually sending the tiger flying.
Before the tiger could even recover from its daze and stand up, Gu Mengyao rushed forward, her fists continuously hitting the tiger’s head, each blow heavier than the last, making the tiger unable to resist and only able to take the beating.
Gu Yu stared at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded and disbelieving… His “wife” was too fierce!
She was punching a tiger with her bare hands!
It wasn’t a kitten, it was a tiger!
Moreover, the tiger had no ability to resist, and could only be beaten humiliatingly.
Finally, he heard the crisp sound of a bone breaking. When Gu Yu looked at the tiger’s head, he saw that Gu Mengyao had been hitting the same spot incessantly. It had already caved in.
The tiger also stopped breathing at this moment…
Gu Mengyao killed the tiger!
“Yu, are you alright? Were you scared?”
“N-no… I’m fine. I can still manage.”
After Gu Mengyao threw the tiger in her hands to the ground like trash and quickly walked up to Gu Yu, she looked at the stunned Gu Yu with concern, afraid that her husband had been scared senseless by the sudden appearance of the tiger.
After hearing Gu Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu quickly recovered and shook his head at Gu Mengyao, indicating that he was fine.
In reality, he wasn’t scared by the tiger, but rather by Gu Mengyao… He had heard of anti-Japanese dramas where people tore apart devils with their bare hands, and now his “little wife” was punching tigers with her bare hands!
“Mengyao, actually, there’s something I need to tell you both.”
After recovering, Gu Yu also released his younger brother-in-law from his space and looked at the Gu Mengyao siblings with trepidation, thinking that it was finally time for his confession.
Although he hadn’t expected to confess in this situation…
However, being able to use this opportunity to explain everything also saved Gu Yu the trouble of always keeping these things bottled up, hesitating whether to say them or not.
It was better to confess sooner than later, and after saying it, Gu Yu would feel more at ease.
“Xiaobai, even if you call me that, I don’t understand beast languages, so…Huh? Where’s Xiaobai?”
“Squeak squeak~”
Gu Qingheng maintained the pose he had before entering the space. As he was talking to Xiaobai, he suddenly realized that the scene in front of him had changed. His current location was no longer the original place.
Xiaobai also ran over and squeaked at Gu Qingheng.
“Mm. But let’s go inside and talk!”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao’s expression didn’t change much. She just said they should talk inside, which made Gu Yu suddenly nervous.
Although Gu Yu said he felt relieved, he was still very worried at this moment…
But why wasn’t Gu Mengyao surprised at all by the fact that someone could just disappear and reappear?
Or were the Gu Mengyao siblings just pretending to be calm?
While in doubt, Gu Yu followed the Gu Mengyao siblings into the courtyard. The three of them didn’t stop and walked directly to the table in the main room, each taking a stool and sitting down.
Then, they began their confession session.
It was mainly Gu Yu who explained… starting from the first day he transmigrated until now, he revealed everything without any concealment to the Gu Mengyao siblings.
“So, brother-in-law, you’re from another world? Different from ours, where people wear very short clothes, eat different food, and have all sorts of interesting things to play with? It sounds great~ I also want to transmigrate to the world you’re from and have fun.”
“…”
“Qingheng, don’t talk nonsense… However, I think that world sounds good. It has gender equality! Even women can have jobs and earn money without being called indecent for working in public.”
“…”
Hearing what the Gu Mengyao siblings said, Gu Yu’s mouth twitched. He felt that the situation was a bit different from what he had imagined.
Was this the only attitude the siblings had?
When normal ancient people heard about transmigration, shouldn’t they scream a few times, then hurriedly run out of the house, shouting about evil spirits, and then the villagers would join forces to catch him, tie him to a wooden frame, and burn him to death…
At the very least, they should show fear towards transmigration!
However, the Gu Mengyao siblings looked as if they wanted to go and see for themselves, leaving Gu Yu at a loss for words.
What else could he say!
“Aren’t you surprised? That I can make people disappear out of thin air and have a space that can store a large amount of items, all within the red mole on my eye?”
After being confused for a long time, Gu Yu finally asked.
When Gu Mengyao and Gu Qingheng heard Gu Yu’s question, they exchanged a smile. Then, Gu Qingheng was the first to speak, explaining why they weren’t surprised.
“Brother-in-law, although you think you’ve hidden it well, things always appear in the house suddenly… Just like that fruit platter you got from my desk a few days ago. It had some fruits that are not available in winter, and they were very fresh with no signs of long-term preservation. This is not something an ordinary person can do!”
“…”
After hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu finally understood why the Gu Mengyao siblings weren’t surprised.
It was because the Gu Mengyao siblings had discovered his differences long ago, they just hadn’t said anything.
They were probably waiting for Gu Yu to confess himself…
If he had known earlier, he would have confessed sooner!
It would have saved him the trouble of always being so secretive, which was not only troublesome but also mentally taxing and led to great internal struggle!
“Qingheng is right, I’ve also seen vegetables from the kitchen that weren’t in season several times. And the last time I was sleeping in the room, I saw you take out a candle out of nowhere and replace the burnt-out one.”
“So you found out long ago! But I’m not from Linfeng Kingdom, nor am I from any other country. I’m a transmigration of souls into a new body, from another world… I should be considered a ghost. Aren’t you afraid?”
He didn’t expect that even Gu Mengyao had discovered it.
Gu Yu thought at this moment that he had been too careless, not even realizing he had exposed himself…
Actually, it wasn’t entirely Gu Yu’s fault.
After all, as he spent more and more time with the Gu Mengyao siblings, his guard gradually diminished, and he began to treat them as his own people, which is when his flaws started to show.
However, this was also because Gu Yu truly trusted the Gu Mengyao siblings and had the intention of telling them about his space.
Otherwise, no matter how many years they spent together, he wouldn’t have said anything he shouldn’t have.
But the issue of the space was one thing, but what did the Gu Mengyao siblings think about his transmigration?
Gu Yu had witnessed the siblings “turn pale at the mention of ghosts,” especially Gu Mengyao, who was extremely afraid of them…
“When Qingheng and I were guessing, we did consider this possibility. But even if you’re a ghost, you’re better than a living person, so why would we dislike you!”
“Exactly, brother-in-law, you’re overthinking it! So what if you’re a ghost? You already have a physical body, so you’re my brother-in-law now! You’re a million times better than the previous one who was just trying to freeload… Oh right, brother-in-law, you’re not going to suddenly leave again and go back to your original world, are you?”
As Gu Qingheng spoke incoherently, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
Really, why hadn’t he thought of this problem!
Since brother-in-law could transmigrate here, he could also transmigrate back. If one day he transmigrated away and the previous annoying person occupied his body again, Gu Qingheng felt he wouldn’t be able to stand it!
Such a good brother-in-law must not leave!
After Gu Qingheng finished speaking, Gu Mengyao also became worried… She liked Gu Yu very much now and didn’t want Gu Yu to leave this world.
Although it was a bit selfish, Gu Mengyao hoped that Gu Yu wouldn’t leave her side.
Gu Yu had already occupied a large part of Gu Mengyao’s heart. If Gu Yu really left, her heart would also become empty.
It was like a flower that had regained its vitality, but without the nourishment of soil, it would wither again in no time.
“Don’t worry, I won’t leave! The original owner of this body died long ago. Even the ghost might have already been reincarnated as a human. Even if they wanted to come back, they couldn’t.”
Hearing his younger brother-in-law’s worried words, Gu Yu also spoke to comfort him, indicating that he would not transmigrate back to his original world.
In the transmigration novels Gu Yu had read before, it was almost impossible to transmigrate back to the original world unless one could become a god-like existence… But the Linfeng Kingdom where Gu Yu was located was just a fictional dynasty similar to ancient times. Forget about becoming a god, there wasn’t even cultivation.
Except for him, a variable with a space…
And Gu Mengyao’s innate divine strength and Gu Qingheng’s photographic memory were merely extraordinary talents.
Therefore, in this situation, the possibility of Gu Yu transmigrating back was zero. This was also why he had a good attitude when he first transmigrated. If it were someone else, who knew what would have happened!
After all, when Gu Yu first arrived, the Gu family was destitute… Starting with a thatched hut, coupled with an undernourished “little wife” and a brother-in-law, all the silver had to be earned by himself.
Fortunately, he had the space cheat, otherwise, the subsequent development would be hard to say!
