In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

She also restored her disfigured appearance.

Receiving the thank-you gift gave her a feeling she had never experienced before.

During the "flying on a sword" process, they also gained a lot of advantages.

He Hongyao was still unable to sort out her feelings.

However, Gu Hanyuan was indeed the second man in her life with whom she had intimate contact.

Even if you try to ignore it.

It cannot be denied that Gu Hanyuan has forcefully entered her heart.

He Hongyao noticed the change in her mood.

The hatred he felt for Xia Xueyi suddenly lost its foundation.

She smiled bitterly.

For a moment, I felt a sense of loss and emptiness.

At this time.

With a deafening roar, the earth shook violently.

He Hongyao stared in astonishment at the collapsing cave.

It's not due to any natural cause.

It was destroyed by gunpowder.

He Hongyao realized almost immediately that this was a trap left by Xia Xueyi.

Unsurprisingly, the trigger was the golden hairpin that she was still holding in her hand.

He Hongyao looked bitter.

She had already guessed that this was a trap left for her by Xia Xueyi.

After all, the only one who would have found this place and pulled the hairpin out of his corpse's mouth was himself, torn between love and hate.

He Hongyao murmured absentmindedly:

"Xia Xueyi, do you hate me that much?"

The moment before she was buried.

I felt my waist being embraced by a pair of large hands.

The temperature remained as scorching as ever.

Having become accustomed to this temperature, He Hongyao immediately guessed the owner of the hands.

A thought flashed through my mind:

"It's a pity that Young Master Gu has been implicated."

Before she closed her eyes in resignation, she seemed to see a colorful light.

When everything calmed down.

The cave has completely collapsed.

He Hongyao did not feel the pain she had expected.

Instead, I was enveloped in warmth.

A reassuring scent lingered around the tip of my nose.

She opened her eyes in a daze.

A dazzling light shield blocked the falling stones.

They created a safe area.

Suddenly, a teasing voice rang in my ears.

"Miss He, are you awake?"

He Hongyao looked over subconsciously.

Then she saw that gentle smile that captivated her.

He Hongyao finally realized what was happening.

She was saved by Gu Hanyuan.

Feeling that warm embrace.

She murmured absentmindedly:

"Mr. Gu?"

Gu Hanyuan chuckled and teased:

"This is not the Bridge of Helplessness, so there is no Meng Po soup for Miss He to taste."

He Hongyao didn't pay attention to Gu Hanyuan's teasing.

He asked, bewildered:

"Why did you save me?"

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"Xia Xueyi wants you to be buried with him, but he'll have to ask for my permission first."

His tone was calm.

But it was full of undeniable confidence.

It is protected by a divine stone.

Xia Xueyi's scheme ultimately amounted to nothing but loneliness.

The collapsed cave could not trap Gu Hanyuan, who possessed unparalleled martial arts skills.

Gu Hanyuan smiled knowingly:

"Miss He has given me so many benefits, how could I possibly ignore you? Just give me a thank-you gift after we leave."

He Hongyao blushed upon hearing this, feeling shy and bashful.

......... ......... 0

Gu Hanyuan's words reminded her of everything that had happened before.

Whether it's so-called benefits or so-called thank-you gifts.

All of this made her extremely embarrassed.

She was certain in her heart that Gu Hanyuan was interested in her.

And it's not just about taking advantage of others.

This made her feel shy, but even more so, delighted.

He Hongyao lowered her beautiful eyes and said:

"Young Master Gu, you may request a gift of thanks at any time."

Gu Hanyuan looked pleased.

He chuckled and said:

"In that case, I'll take you out first."

With that, he flipped his wrist.

A flash of emerald light appeared.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword was already in his hands.

With a swing, a massive sword aura slashed through.

It cleaved open the collapsed cave entrance as if cutting through waves.

He led the still somewhat dazed He Hongyao out of the cave.

Xia Xueyi had a limited amount of gunpowder.

Therefore, only the cave was destroyed.

The platform outside the cave, however, remained intact.

Standing once again on the same platform I came from.

The sunlight fell on my face.

He Hongyao felt as if she had been reborn.

Behind them lay Xia Xueyi's completely buried remains.

Gu Hanyuan was holding her beside her.

All of this seemed to be telling her to say goodbye to the past.

Looking at Gu Hanyuan's gentle smile as always.
