Chapter 991: Monster Hunt (29)
"My name is Gu Jin, nice to meet Miss Rong Yue."
Gu Jin bowed sincerely.
Yue Rong smiled softly with her hands covering her lips, "Master Gu is making such a scene that if you don't know better, you would think that Master Gu is meeting some important person."
Gu Jin's ears turned red with embarrassment.
Yue Rong helped Gu Jin up with both hands, "Mr. Gu, please don't pay me such a big gift. I can't accept it."
Gu Jin hurriedly dodged Yue Rong's support, took a step back and said, "I am stupid and offended the young lady."
Yue Rong took back her hand and asked gently, "Is this your first time at the brothel, Master Gu?"
Gu Jin asked in confusion: "How did the girl know?"
Yue Rong chuckled and replied, "Master Gu, you are too reserved."
Gu Jin quietly wiped the sweat from his palms and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady."
Yue Rong made a gesture of invitation to Gu Jin, "Mr. Gu, please take a seat."
Gu Jin sat down stiffly.
Yue Rong poured a cup of tea for Gu Jin, and then raised her hand to pass it to Gu Jin, "I see that you are well behaved and know when to act. You don't look like someone who would hang out in a brothel. Why did you end up in Wanhua Tower?"
Gu Jin took the teacup carefully, avoiding touching Yue Rong's hand. After he had safely taken the teacup, he replied, "I was brought here by a friend."
Yue Rong took a sip of tea and said, "I see."
Gu Jin looked at Yue Rong and mustered up the courage to say, "Actually, I came to Wanhua Tower because I wanted to meet Miss Rong Yue."
Yue Rong put down the teacup and said, "See me?"
Gu Jin nodded, "To be honest, young lady, I have no other talent except painting. I just happened to get a set of fine brushes and ink recently, so I wanted to paint a picture of a beauty, but I haven't found anyone who can be in the painting yet."
"Today, I heard from Brother Zhang that Miss Rongyue is a rare and stunning beauty in the world, so I dared to come and see her."
"When I first saw you, I felt that you were the person in the painting. Please give me a chance to paint you next time."
Yue Rong pretended to be embarrassed: "But..."
Gu Jin added: "I can pay the girl."
Seeing Gu Jin's serious look, Yue Rong immediately wanted to tease him and pretended to be angry and said, "Could it be that in Master Gu's mind, I am just a money-grubber?"
Gu Jin stood up excitedly, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. The girl is very talented and noble, I just... just..."
Yue Rong waved her round fan and said, "I was just joking, Mr. Gu, don't be nervous."
Gu Jin waved his hands hurriedly, "I definitely don't mean to insult the girl with money."
Yue Rong said helplessly: "I understand, Master Gu, please sit down."
Gu Jin explained again, "I have absolutely no such intention."
Yue Rong sighed, "Mr. Gu is really a serious person."
He just thought Gu Jin was interesting and teased him casually, but Gu Jin almost kowtowed to him and apologized.
Gu Jin felt guilty upon hearing this. If he was really a decent person, he wouldn't have almost been seduced by beauty.
-
"Mr. Gu, are you done with the painting? My arms are a little sore."
Gu Jin blew gently on the ink that had not yet dried. "The painting is finished. Please appreciate it, young lady."
Yue Rong took the scroll and praised, "Mr. Gu's painting skills are truly superb."
Gu Jin said modestly: "Miss, you are too kind. My skills are poor and I can only paint one-third of your color."
Yue Rong smiled and said, "I think Mr. Gu has drawn ten out of ten of my three points of color."
Gu Jin said seriously: "The girl's appearance is more than three points."
Yue Rong looked straight at Gu Jin and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Jin shyly avoided Yue Rong's gaze and said, "Forgive me for my poor words and difficulty in describing your beauty."
Yue Rong frowned slightly, "Mr. Gu is so sweet, I don't know how many girls he has deceived."
Gu Jin said solemnly: "I swear to heaven that I have only said this to the girl."
-
"Rongyue, I love you. If you are willing, I will redeem you and marry you today."
Yue Rong did not answer but asked: "Gu Jin, do you like my appearance or my personality?"
Gu Jin said seriously: "I admit that I was confused by your appearance at first, but that was just with an admiring attitude. I fell in love with you as I got to know you better day by day."
Yue Rong asked again: "What if the real me is different from the me you see?"
Gu Jin replied without hesitation: "As long as it's you."
Yue Rong returned to her original voice, "Gu Jin, I am not a woman, I am a man, and my name is not Rong Yue, my name is Yue Rong."
Gu Jin was suddenly speechless and didn't utter a word for a long time.
Yue Rong smiled, but her smile could not hide her loneliness, "It's my fault for not telling you the truth earlier."
Yue Rong turned around and stopped looking at Gu Jin, "Don't come to Wanhua Tower again."
Just when Yuerong was about to leave, Gu Jin grabbed her.
Gu Jin walked up to Yue Rong, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "Life is short, why not give it a try?"
-
"Yuerong, what's wrong with you?!"
Yue Rong pointed at the jade pendant on Gu Jin's body and asked weakly, "Who gave you this jade pendant?"
Gu Jin took off the jade pendant and said, "Yesterday I met an old Taoist who insisted that I had evil spirits and forced this jade pendant on me."
Yue Rong said anxiously: "Take the jade pendant away quickly!"
Although Gu Jin didn't know why, he still threw the jade pendant out of the window.
Gu Jin looked at Yue Rong worriedly, "Yuerong, what's wrong with you? Is this jade pendant poisonous? But why am I fine?"
Yuerong changed back to her original form before she could answer.
Gu Jin looked at the white-haired fox in his arms and felt like he was dreaming.
Yue Rong raised her paw, "Gu Jin..."
Gu Jin was surprised and asked: "Yuerong, you...you are a fox demon?"
Yue Rong lowered her head, "I'm sorry, Gu Jin, I..."
Before Yuerong could finish her words, the old Taoist priest rushed in.
"How dare you, a bold fox demon, to seduce a mortal and absorb his essence!"
Yue Rong quickly shook her head and denied, "No, Gu Jin, I didn't, I really didn't absorb your essence!"
The old Taoist priest didn't listen to the explanation at all and wanted to take Yuerong away immediately.
At the critical moment, Gu Jin blocked Yue Rong behind him.
Gu Jin was struggling with the old Taoist priest, and he took the time to say to Yue Rong, "Why don't you leave quickly?"
Yue Rong looked at Gu Jin, turned around and ran away, leaving behind a sentence, "Gu Jin, I will come back to find you."
After Yue Rong left, the old Taoist priest angrily scolded: "How could you let the monster go?"
Gu Jin did not explain, but said firmly: "Yue Rong did not absorb my essence."
If Yue Rong really absorbed his essence, he wouldn't be able to still be so energetic.
The old Taoist priest said angrily: "Just because he hasn't absorbed your essence now doesn't mean he won't absorb your essence in the future. When a demon falls in love with a human, there must be some purpose behind it."
Gu Jin refused to give in, "I believe him!"
