118: C118 Beloved

C118 Beloved

Hearing Nangong Lin's words, despair flashed across the old woman's face, and she angrily cursed: "Old man Nan Gong, we all listened to your call to come in and explore the treasure. Now that we are facing danger, you actually escaped alone, you will not die a peaceful death, even if I die I will not let you off!"

Nangong Lin sneered again and said, "What a joke, who can you blame if your strength is not good enough. Besides, I'm just proposing, if it wasn't because of greed, why would you come here? Everyone's thoughts are very clear, there's no need to be so pitiful."

As the two conversed, their incantation gestures were finally activated. Nangong Lin actually turned into a streak of blood-red light and escaped.

Gu Yuan was stupefied. He knew Nangong Lin had a trump card, but he didn't expect the opposite party's trump card to be like this.

This gave him no chance to react at all.

Besides, Gu Yuan's current position was also very awkward. Because of Nangong Lin's escape and the monster ape losing its target, the ones suffering the worst were those who were close to Nangong Lin. Because Gu Yuan deliberately approached, he was now the closest.

In the next moment, countless demon apes attacked.

For the first time, despair appeared on Gu Yuan's face.

The girl behind suddenly hugged Gu Yuan and sobbed, "Brother Lin, you have to remember me."

As the girl spoke, a violent light flashed, and when he regained his vision, he was already back in the stone room.

A line of words appeared on the stone wall before him.

"Never forget the love of a lifetime."

Gu Yuan was silent. At this moment, he finally knew that Brother Lin was probably the owner of this illusion. That girl sacrificed him at the last moment to save him.

All of that had caused Gu Yuan's heart to be in turmoil. There was even a trace of sadness in his heart, and he felt even more pity for this senior.

He stood in his original spot for a long time, thinking about the words that he couldn't get rid of.

"Brother Lin, you must remember me."

The young girl's love for the master of this illusion was very deep. Even before she died, she was still afraid that the person she loved would forget her.

For the last time, Gu Yuan took a deep look at the stone wall in front of him that still showed the line of stone. Then, he turned around and looked at the third stone wall.

This time, it was different from the last two times. Two words appeared on the stone wall.

"Human nature."

Gu Yuan was confused, but he still put his hand on it.

His vision blurred for a moment, and when he opened his eyes once more, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

As far as the eyes could see, it was a shabby wooden roof. Although the interior was simple and crude, it was still neatly tidied up.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no one. Gu Yuan was curious and prepared to go out to see what kind of place this was.

When he opened the door, he saw a row of neat wooden houses, thatched roofs, and the surrounding streets.

Ye Zichen raised the corner of his mouth in surprise. Gu Yuan had a good impression of this place.

A few children walked past the door. They were stunned when they saw Gu Yuan. They then turned around and ran.

"Eh …. Do I look scary? " Gu Yuan was a bit hurt, so he touched his face.

Not long after, there was the sound of running. A few villagers with hoes on their shoulders caught up and shouted from afar, "Little brother, wait!"

Gu Yuan saw that the children behind the villagers were not afraid of him, but to call him an adult.

"Little brother is better now."

The villagers were all simple and honest men. Their smiles were simple and honest, full of concern. They were still working just now. Gu Yuan didn't dislike the smell of sweat and instead felt close to them.

Although Gu Yuan was a bit confused why the other party would ask such a question, after having experienced it twice, this time, Gu Yuan decided to take it easy and replied: "Much better." At the same time, he nodded with a kind smile.

"Little bro should rest more. We know you're Cultivator and you're in good health, but Xue Wa'er said that you were hurt by a demon beast, but you're really impressive. If you don't take care of yourself, you're going to die!"

Gu Yuan's heart warmed. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from behind him.

"Ah! You just woke up, how did you get up? Quickly go back and lie down, don't faint anymore."

Gu Yuan turned his head and found that the one who spoke was a pretty girl.

When the girl saw Gu Yuan looking at her, she didn't know why, but her face suddenly blushed and she lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to meet Gu Yuan's gaze.

Gu Yuan felt that this girl was very cute, like a girl next door. He smiled at the girl and said, "I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern."

When the few villagers saw that the girl had arrived, they knew they didn't need to stay here. After greeting Gu Yuan, they immediately left.

When the girl heard Gu Yuan's words, she finally raised her head to carefully examine Gu Yuan. She noticed that Gu Yuan seemed to have recovered a lot. She was relieved and said, "You must be hungry."

Coincidentally, Gu Yuan's stomach started to growl, making him feel a bit awkward.

The girl secretly covered her mouth as she said: "Come with me." After which, he turned and walked back to the wooden house.

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and followed him.

Being watched by a beauty for a meal should be something to enjoy, but Gu Yuan, who rarely came into contact with women, felt extremely awkward.

However, based on his previous judgement, it was very likely that the other party had saved him. Thus, Gu Yuan could only bite the bullet and eat the dish.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Gu Yuan took the initiative to ask, "What's your name?"

"Ah!" Gu Yuan's sudden voice startled the girl who was focused on peeking at Gu Yuan. She quickly reacted and her face instantly flushed red. However, she still hurriedly replied: "Yang Peach.

"My name is Gu Yuan, you can call me Brother Gu from now on."

"Oh... "Oh." The young girl lowered her head and replied in a low voice, her hands continuously twisting the corners of her clothes.

The atmosphere became awkward again. Gu Yuan didn't know what to say next, so he could only eat silently.

Perhaps it was because she could not stand the atmosphere, but the young girl finally left after giving an order in a low voice.

Looking at the girl's disappearing figure, Gu Yuan bitterly smiled and continued eating.

The meal was very simple. There were a few pieces of yellowing pastries along with a bowl of wild vegetable soup, as well as a piece of cured meat. Although it was simple, it was still very delicious.

As he was eating, he suddenly heard a few exclamations of surprise outside, followed by miserable cries and wailing sounds coming from the direction of the village entrance.

Gu Yuan was surprised for a moment. With a movement of his body, he rushed out of the door and rushed towards the village entrance.

With Gu Yuan's speed, it only took him a few breaths to reach the village entrance. However, the scene in front of him made Gu Yuan's expression change.

A man covered in blood was crawling towards the village entrance with difficulty. There was a bundle tied around his waist, and blood was constantly dripping out of it.

With Gu Yuan's amazing eyesight, he instantly recognized that it was a middle-aged man dressed like a villager.

At this time, there were already quite a few villagers rushing over, and the children who were the first to be discovered were crying.

Gu Yuan rushed forward and carried the villager. Then, he dropped the package on the ground and scattered. More than ten heads rolled out of the bag!0
