Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Gu Jiao used her own voice when she answered Gu Chengfeng.

He couldn't see anything now, so at least let him hear.

Xu Fengxian, who was pouring tea for Gu Jiao, was startled when she heard a maiden’s voice. She stared at the young man in disbelief.

"Prepare hot water." Gu Jiao said, her voice returning to that of a male teenager.

Xu Fengxian wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. Was she so terrified that she was even hearing someone’s voice wrong now? This was clearly a boy, how could he possibly sound like a girl?

A girl wouldn't be this terrifying.

Gu Chengfeng's injuries were severe, including minor sc.r.a.pes from a fall and blade wounds from a fight. The wounds had soaked in water and were filled with dirt and sand.

During the cleaning process, the flesh had to be turned over.

Gu Jiao calmly carried out the task.

Xu Fengxian, on the other hand, almost had his throat jump out from watching.

Oh heavens, this cleaning process was too brutal!

She had never seen such cruelty, not even when she punished the disobedient people under her. Where did this youth come from? Was he really trying to save someone, or was he trying to kill him?

"Stop cleaning." Gu Chengfeng said weakly, "It's unsightly."

Gu Jiao replied calmly, "I've seen worse wounds than this."

Apart from the new wounds from today, Gu Chengfeng also had many old wounds of various sizes all over his body, showing clearly the hardships he had endured along the way.

"Was it the Han Family that did this?" Gu Jiao asked.

Her voice remained calm, without a hint of emotion, yet the room was inexplicably filled with an intense, chilling murderous aura.

Xu Fengxian, carrying hot water into the room, couldn't help but shiver.

She had been in this line of work for many years and had seen all sorts of people, but it was the first time she had seen such a youth with such a heavy aura of killing intent.

She placed the hot water on the stool by the bed and asked, "Do you have any other instructions, young master?"

"Go make some vegetable porridge." Gu Jiao said.

"Yes, right away!" Xu Fengxian responded quickly and hurriedly instructed Yinxing, the servant girl, to prepare it.

After the huge weight in Gu Chengfeng’s heart was lifted, he relaxed and immediately felt sleepy.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt someone pulling his pants. In a daze, he instinctively grabbed his waistband and asked, "What are you doing?"

Gu Jiao looked at the blood seeping through his pants and said, "You have a wound on your leg."

Gu Chengfeng, using the last bit of his consciousness, stubbornly resisted, "No... you can't look..."

Gu Jiao replied, "I won’t laugh at your small size."

Gu Chengfeng: "…!!"

His size wasn’t small!

He was the Great Gu! The Ferocious Gu!

And how could this girl even say such things!

Could a young lady really say something like that?

With that thought, Gu Chengfeng's head slumped, and he lost consciousness.

Xu Fengxian: "Uh..."

Was he asleep or did he faint from anger?

Fortunately, Gu Jiao still checked. Gu Chengfeng had a blade wound on his thigh near his groin, deep enough to see the bone, and it took seven st.i.tches to close it.

By the time all the wounds were treated, an hour had pa.s.sed. The vegetable porridge in the kitchen was ready, but Gu Chengfeng was already asleep.

Gu Jiao didn't wake him and ate some herself.

She wasn't hungry.

She just didn't like wasting food.

After the thrilling night, Xu Fengxian felt she, too, needed to eat some porridge to calm her nerves.

"Well, uh... if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room." Xu Fengxian said awkwardly.

Gu Jiao, sitting at the table, put down her bowl and said, "Hold on, I have something to ask you."

Xu Fengxian hurriedly turned back with a fawning smile, "Yes, young master, please ask!"

Gu Jiao questioned, "The authorities today were from the Han Family. Is that Han Family related to Han Che?"

Han Che?

Xu Fengxian momentarily paused but then remembered that the second young master of the Han Family was indeed named Han Che.

She nodded, "Yes, it's that Han Family!"

Gu Jiao continued, "Why would the Han Family relentlessly pursue a mere slave?"

"Young master might not know this, he's not just an ordinary slave..." Xu Fengxian began to speak, but then realizing their relationship, she hastily cleared her throat and changed her words.

"Judging from the attire of those officers earlier, they seem to be from the Han Family's mines. The mines are very strict with their laborers; anyone who escapes must be caught and severely punished. It's the rule of the mines and a method the Han Family uses to instill fear in people."

"It's fortunate that young master's friend managed to escape. The Han Family's mines are no place for humans; only condemned prisoners are sent there, or bought slaves. People there work from dawn till dusk, with no one to treat them if they fall ill or get injured. They're simply tossed into the mountains because the money needed for treatment would be better spent on a new slave."

A fierce murderous intent flashed within Gu Jiao's eyes.

Xu Fengxian advised, "I urge young master not to act rashly. The Han Family is not to be trifled with."

"How difficult are they to deal with?" Gu Jiao asked.

Xu Fengxian explained, "The Han Family is related to the Crown Prince through his mother; in short, they are the Crown Prince’s maternal family, wielding immense power.”

“Although their n.o.ble ranking isn't the highest, sometimes rankings are superficial; real power lies in their military authority. The Han Family possesses the Black Wind Cavalry from the Xuanyuan Family, the strongest cavalry in the State of Yan.”

“Young master, you might be young and unfamiliar with warfare, but the strength of a cavalry is formidable. The Han Family's Black Wind King is said to be a once-in-a-millennium legendary horse, capable of leading wolves and fighting tigers. It's unmatched among the six states!"

"Ahh——"

A scream from the backyard suddenly interrupted them.

It was the servant girl, Yinxing.

She was startled by the horse king which was prancing and splashing in the backyard's open s.p.a.ce, splashing Yinxing as she pa.s.sed by.

Talking about slaves, Gu Jiao's gaze fell on the brand on Gu Chengfeng's right leg, scorched into the skin and flesh by a hot iron, shattering his dignity.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
