What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

If anyone else asked her, even Su Yan, she wouldn't give that answer.

For her, pine syrup was ultimately special.

She felt a little tired, rubbed her temples, took a few bright green tea leaves, threw them into the teapot, and poured in freshly boiled water.

Water vapor rises.

The tea leaves began to float and sink in the hot water, creating a sense of ethereal uncertainty, much like her voice at that moment.

“My current strength still relies on my past, on those dead in the divine kingdom who have not forgotten me. If Lin Mushi really wakes up, these things will become uncertain.”

Gu Yuqiu poured herself a cup of tea, looking at its pleasing color, and said slowly, "To ensure that nothing unexpected happens before we leave, Lin Mushi can only be asleep."

Songtang doesn't know what to do anymore.

"I like many people, whether it's Su Yan, Lin Mushi, or even Shen Muchan. I like all of them, and of course, you too."

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "But I only love myself."

P.S.: I finished writing it at 11:20, but for some reason my computer couldn't connect to Shuke (a Chinese online learning platform), and it didn't work after waiting for a long time. I'm uploading it from my phone now.

Chapter 153: The Last Winter

Since that night, the weather in Xin Chu has remained consistently sunny, with little difference between dawn and dusk.

At 8:05, Gu Yuqiu opened her eyes and got up to wash up as usual.

The soft sound of water echoed in the bedroom, but it didn't disturb anyone.

Su Yan didn't sleep here last night. She sat quietly on the balcony all night, whether she had a problem with her or was reflecting on herself, I don't know.

Gu Yuqiu was too lazy to care about these things and just found it boring. She walked to the window, pulled open the thick curtains with both hands.

In fact, she didn't need to do the drawing of the curtains herself at all; she could have just pressed a button on the remote. But she just preferred to do it that way.

The faint morning light filtered through the clouds and fell on her face.

None of this matters.

She lowered her head slightly, looked at the white cat sleeping on the windowsill, hugged it in her arms, and then turned and walked towards the door.

It was only then that Songtang, who was sleeping soundly without any warning, woke up and looked up at her in confusion, wondering what was going on.

Then it remembered... it was time to leave today.

Songtang shifted her posture, gazing reluctantly at every corner of the house. Looking at the excessively empty room, she sighed inwardly.

Just as it was reminiscing, Gu Yuqiu tossed it onto the sofa and went into the kitchen.

A short while later, she came out with two simple breakfasts and called out towards the balcony.

Su Yan returned covered in snow and wind.

Gu Yuqiu handed over a towel.

Su Yan thanked them and carefully wiped her hair and clothes.

Gu Yuqiu began to eat breakfast.

Songtang, who was squatting to the side, watched them but didn't see any ordinary warmth or the feeling of an old married couple. She just felt that these two didn't seem like the type to live a quiet life together.

Then it remembered something and meowed in confusion.

"Why are only the two of you left here? Where is that stupid, unlovable little maid who always annoys me?"

Su Yan understood its words, put down the slightly damp towel, and said, "I let Crimson go."

Songtang was speechless, thinking to herself, "You were already scolded by Gu Yuqiu yesterday, why do you still insist on doing things your way? Are you looking for a fight?"

It subconsciously looked at Gu Yuqiu, trying to find some dissatisfaction in its comrade's eyes, but only saw calmness.

Like a lake when the wind is calm and the waves are still.

It's like the deep sea before a storm.

"We'll be leaving in a bit."

Su Yan raised her hand, tucked her hair behind her ear, took a sip of the warm milk, and continued, "My people will be watching over this place from now on, so don't worry."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement.

Su Yan looked at her and said, "Do you have anything to add?"

"No."

Gu Yuqiu's voice was very calm.

Su Yan nodded and said while eating breakfast, "I'll take a shower and then leave."

Gu Yuqiu said, "No need to rush."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan turned her head to look at her, staring at her quietly for a while before suddenly asking, "You seem a little dissatisfied?"

"Is there?"

Gu Yuqiu met her gaze and smiled, saying, "Perhaps you're overthinking it?"

Looking at that smile, Songtang thought to herself, "You're kidding me. What else could it be if he's not angry?"

If even it can see it, how could Su Yan be completely unaware?

She was silent for a while, put down the breakfast she had only eaten halfway through, took a deep look at Gu Yuqiu, got up and walked towards the bathroom, leaving behind a sentence.

"Go pick out some clothes for me."

Gu Yuqiu hummed in agreement, her expression unchanged.

Songtang stared curiously at Su Yan's retreating figure, wondering what it meant. Was she selling her body?

"of course not."

Gu Yuqiu knew exactly what she was thinking and said, "But she did make me angry, but she didn't want to argue with me, so she went to take a shower."

Songtang sighed, thinking to herself, "You two have only been together for a few days, how come you're back to how you were before?"

Aren't you two going to start arguing again?

"She is not a gentle person, and my gentleness is at most superficial."

Gu Yuqiu said, "From this point of view, we are indeed not suitable for each other. After all, when two people are together, they have to compromise with each other."

Songtang meowed, its eyes full of confusion.

Gu Yuqiu understood what it meant and said, "Yes, I thought a lot about her the night before last, and I will still be willing to think about this world for her in the future, but these are important matters."

Songtang thought that she should start making changes from small things, as people often say.

"Wrong."

Gu Yuqiu calmly said, "I am willing to give up all my principles for important matters based on interests, as long as the goal can be achieved. But there are too many and too complicated small matters. Specifically, it comes down to my way of life, and the power of habit is strong."

Songtang thought about it seriously, then meowed helplessly, indicating that humans were such a hassle.

Gu Yuqiu did not continue speaking.

She got up and walked towards the bedroom, where she deliberately picked out a long, black dress from the wardrobe.

Meanwhile, Su Yan had almost finished her shower.

This time was very short, but it was not surprising to them.

In fact, if it weren't for things like adding fun to life, people like Gu Yuqiu and Su Yan wouldn't need to bathe at all; their bodies would be naturally clean and always spotless.

Of course, the main reason for such a short bath time is that they had all been on the battlefield when they were weak, and they were used to finishing their meals and other things as quickly as possible to avoid any possible accidents.

"Why is it a skirt?"

"I just picked one randomly."

Su Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the long dress in Gu Yuqiu's hand, her expression not very good.

She thought to herself, "Isn't this just revenge?" but still took the dress and said, "You can leave now."

Gu Yuqiu had already seen everything about her.

Although she looked exceptionally beautiful at that moment, with water droplets still clinging to her hair, captivating and her graceful figure shimmering in the misty air, I still wasn't that interested.

Just as Gu Yuqiu turned to leave and was about to walk out of the bathroom, she heard a sentence.

"and many more."

"Ok?"

Su Yan watched her retreating figure.

Gu Yuqiu did not turn around.

Su Yan bit her lower lip and said softly, "I don't like Shen Hong, and she has a grudge against me, but I made her stay last night and let her leave this morning because I didn't want us to be disturbed."

Gu Yuqiu's tone was indifferent: "You can arrange these."

Su Yan knew very well that this was a lie, and asked seriously, "Since you say that, why are you angry?"

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "When did I get angry?"

"If you weren't angry."

Su Yan stared at her and said, "Then last night I sat outside all night in the wind and snow, and you just watched without saying a word?"

Gu Yuqiu said indifferently, "I thought you liked it."

Su Yan fell silent.

It wasn't that she was speechless and unable to refute, but rather that she realized that if they continued talking like this, it would inevitably lead to an argument, which was just a repetition of countless past arguments.

She said, "Even so, you should still care about me."

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly, just as she was about to speak, something suddenly happened.

Su Yan quickly stepped forward, hugged her from behind, wrapped her arms around her, and rested her head on her shoulder.

The water droplets quickly soaked Gu Yuqiu's pajamas, bringing a slightly damp feeling, followed by a surge of warmth.

And that warm breath.

She was experienced with this kind of thing, and there was no trembling in her breathing or body. However, the thought of having to change clothes later made her feel a little annoyed.
