Chapter 81 Home Essentials+
As the son of the Tang Sect Leader, Tang Wenshi definitely had many good things on him.
According to Gu Yu’s original plan, he wanted to search Tang Wenshi’s body and re-utilize hidden weapons. However, upon seeing that Tang Wenshi was a very astute person, Gu Yu no longer had the intention to search him.
Facing danger that he knew would come, it was better for him to avoid it.
Although he could also put Tang Wenshi’s corpse into his spatial dimension, where time was stopped, any hidden weapons would become ineffective and unable to harm Gu Yu.
However, since he had already agreed to Tang Wenshi’s request, Gu Yu did not want to do something as unethical as rifling through a dead man’s body.
If he hadn’t agreed to Tang Wenshi’s request, things might have been different…
Although Gu Yu was rather greedy for wealth, it depended on what kind of wealth. Moreover, with his little wife by his side, he didn’t want to leave a bad impression in Gu Mengyao’s heart.
Afterwards, when Little Black finished digging the pit for burying the body, Gu Yu gave it a few carrots. As it satisfyingly ate them all up in a few bites, Gu Yu also nodded with satisfaction.
It wasn’t a waste of effort to catch this black bear. Killing people and digging pits, it was simply a household necessity!
Immediately, Gu Yu put Tang Wenshi’s corpse into his spatial dimension, then took it out again, precisely placing it into the pit. Afterwards, he had Little Black re-bury the soil.
After finishing the burial, Little Black also stood on top and bounced around, compacting the soil.
After burying Tang Wenshi, Gu Yu then put Little Black back into his spatial dimension.
Then, looking at the place where Tang Wenshi was buried, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh… Thinking that a person like Tang Wenshi shouldn’t have died so easily.
Tang Wenshi had enjoyed immense wealth and honor in his life, but after his death, he was buried in these deep mountains and old forests, unable to even erect a tombstone. The only witnesses to his departure from this world were Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, along with an eagle and a fox.
Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh at such a stark contrast.
Tang Wenshi’s death was rather unjust…
Therefore, driven by this thought, Gu Yu broke off a wild flower from nearby and inserted it into the burial spot of Tang Wenshi, hoping for him to depart in peace.
“A’yu, have we taken on a big problem…”
Just as Gu Yu squatted down and inserted the flower into the soil, Gu Mengyao, standing beside him, spoke with some worry.
Originally, she didn’t want to watch Tang Wenshi die directly in front of her, but she didn’t expect… things to turn out this way.
The Tang Sect, whenever it involved sects, things would always become very complicated.
This made Gu Mengyao, who had previously thought it was a simple task of delivering a letter, now realize that it was not as easy as it seemed on the surface. Instead, there were undercurrents at play, and she didn’t know what would happen later.
If she had known this earlier, she would have listened to A’yu’s advice and not tried to save anyone!
“It’s fine, don’t worry, everything is still under control.”
Upon hearing Gu Mengyao’s worried words, Gu Yu spoke to comfort her, telling her not to worry too much. Even if this matter was a bit troublesome, it was not insurmountable.
In fact, it might even bring him quite a bit of benefit.
After all, it was the Tang Sect. If they sent the news of the Sect Leader’s son back and established a good relationship, Gu Yu could ask the Tang Sect for some hidden weapons, which could then be used as tools for self-defense.
Therefore, misfortune can be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing can be a misfortune; nothing is absolute.
When Gu Yu said this, Gu Mengyao miraculously calmed her tense emotions and no longer worried about her involvement with the Tang Sect.
Gu Mengyao believed her husband, believing that Gu Yu could definitely resolve it.
Because when Gu Yu said it was fine, Gu Mengyao felt as if she had taken a reassuring pill, feeling extremely at ease.
Afterwards, due to the sudden encounter with Tang Wenshi, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao lost the mood to continue up the mountain. Having hunted enough prey, the two began to descend the mountain and headed home.
“A’yu, I thought you would have taken all of Tang Wenshi’s belongings!”
“Mengyao, I’m not that greedy! Heaven bears witness, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiaobai… Of course, it’s just a fox and can’t understand human speech, so it can’t be a witness.”
“Squeak squeak squeak.”
On the way back, when Gu Yu heard his little wife say this, he quickly stated that he was not a greedy person and even asked Xiaobai, who was following them, to testify.
After Xiaobai rolled its eyes and squeaked, its calls clearly expressed protest.
Gu Yu was a greedy fellow!!!
However, Gu Yu completely ignored Xiaobai’s behavior. His words shifted, directly refuting Xiaobai’s testimony.
This made Xiaobai bare its teeth at Gu Yu, preparing to curse Gu Yu to choke on his water.
Gu Yu was already accustomed to Xiaobai’s human-like behavior. After all, there was still a vegetarian black bear. With this fox that could understand human speech, Gu Yu didn’t find it strange.
It’s just that this fox was rather proud and needed to be disciplined…
At this moment, it didn’t help him speak. It seemed like he couldn’t feed it meat anymore, only grass every day!
Gu Mengyao saw Gu Yu and Xiaobai looking at each other with displeasure, and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle, thinking her little husband was really cute, “mengmengda”.
According to the words Gu Yu had taught her before, “mengmengda” seemed to mean cute.
“Actually, I wanted to search him at first, but who made me agree to Tang Wenshi’s request in the end? After using the Sea Eagle as payment, it felt a bit unethical for me to search Tang Wenshi’s body.”
“Mm, you did the right thing, A’yu. Don’t take ill-gotten gains.”
“Damn it, if Tang Wenshi wasn’t from the Tang Sect, I would have searched him directly! After all, he might have hidden some hidden weapons, and if they were triggered, it would be dangerous.”
“…”
Gu Mengyao had just praised Gu Yu, but immediately after Gu Yu’s second sentence, she was speechless and twitched her mouth, thinking that she had thought too soon.
However, even though Gu Yu now showed his greedy side, Gu Mengyao still found it very cute.
The common saying, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” was perfectly applicable here.
But… if Gu Yu really wanted to search him, Gu Mengyao knew about the spatial dimension’s time-stopping function.
However, Gu Yu ultimately chose to bury Tang Wenshi.
It was only because he had promised Tang Wenshi’s request that he didn’t covet the things on his body. Compared to some people who claimed to be gentlemen on the surface but harbored lewd desires in their hearts, Gu Yu was much more upright!
Therefore, Gu Mengyao knew that things were not as Gu Yu described.
She understood her husband very well regarding this matter!
Seeing the helpless smile on Gu Mengyao’s face, Gu Yu couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Then, he reached out and took Gu Mengyao’s hand. The two of them walked along the road, thinking how good his wife was.
If it were someone else, they would probably have scolded him already.
But even though Gu Yu didn’t express his true thoughts, Gu Mengyao didn’t think any less of him. Whether it was because Gu Mengyao had figured out the reason or simply out of indulgence, it made Gu Yu’s mood exceptionally good!
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
It was great that he had transmigrated to the Linfeng Kingdom!
As for the reason he didn’t want to express his true thoughts, it was because Gu Yu felt that it didn’t quite fit his persona. It sounded too righteous, and he had always felt like a villain.
Just as Gu Yu’s mood was soaring, Gu Mengyao smiled and held Gu Yu’s hand. The two, along with a fox, walked towards home.
…………
“What! Tang Wenshi, heavily injured, was still allowed to escape? You useless bunch!”
In the inn, Feng Xuanyuan looked at the subordinates kneeling before her. Upon hearing that Tang Wenshi had escaped, she wished she could kill them all!
She had gone to great lengths and heavily injured Tang Wenshi, thinking that the matter was settled.
But she didn’t expect… Tang Wenshi’s vitality to be so tenacious. While she was about to deliver the final blow, he escaped using a hidden weapon and vanished from sight in an instant.
And these useless subordinates, even after pursuing him, failed to bring him back.
Now, with the mission assigned by her master unfulfilled, what should she do? She had to bring back Tang Wenshi’s head, and the box containing the Tang Sect’s secrets also had to be brought back!
No, she couldn’t leave Lian Town yet. She had to find Tang Wenshi first!
“Why are you still standing there? Continue searching! If you find his corpse, make sure to find the box containing the bells and bring it back to me.”
“Yes.”
After scolding her subordinates away, Feng Xuanyuan sat on the chair with a headache, wondering where Tang Wenshi might be!
Although Tang Wenshi treated her very well, trying his best to please her, Feng Xuanyuan’s heart was already tied to her master. Even if Tang Wenshi plucked the moon from the sky and placed it before Feng Xuanyuan, it would be of no use.
She would still love that person as always, like a moth drawn to a flame, and would not be swayed by others.
If it weren’t for the mission assigned by her master, Feng Xuanyuan wouldn’t have forced herself to interact with Tang Wenshi. Now that he was heavily injured and missing, it was enough to make her angry!
He was already dying, so why did he have to escape!
Furthermore, he took away the box containing the Tang Sect’s secrets. She had schemed for it all along, wanting to get that box to make her master smile.
It would also allow her master to further affirm her abilities and keep her by his side, not abandoning her carelessly like he did others…
“Sister Xuanyuan, should we continue to stay here? Now that Young Master is missing, we should go back and inform them as soon as possible.”
“Let’s wait! Perhaps tomorrow, Young Master will return… If we go back now without finding Young Master, we won’t be able to explain it to Master.”
“Wuwu, I don’t know what Young Master encountered. Why did he suddenly disappear? When I saw the blood in the room, I still haven’t recovered, wuwuwu.”
“Don’t worry! Young Master will be all right.”
Just as Feng Xuanyuan was lost in thought, the door was suddenly knocked from the outside. When Feng Xuanyuan put away the expression on her face and replaced it with worry, the person outside walked in.
Feng Xuanyuan was currently Tang Wenshi’s personal maid. The woman who walked in at this moment had the same status as her. However, unlike Feng Xuanyuan, who appeared halfway, Cui Liu had been taking care of Tang Wenshi for several years and was already familiar and trusted by the Sect Leader’s family. Therefore, Feng Xuanyuan could not easily kill her.
After all, she still had to take Cui Liu back to put on a good show for the Sect Leader.
