Gu Baizhi turned her head away, her face flushed.
"Hurry up and get out..." Gu Baizhi said coquettishly.
Looking at your shy and adorable appearance, Liu Yin suddenly regretted not letting her master drink the wine. She might have actually forced herself on him. It's all this wine's fault. But then again, wouldn't she have plenty of time to bully her master in the future? Thinking this, Liu Yin's mood immediately improved.
Then Liu Yin left with a smile on her face. Gu Baizhi had no idea what Liu Yin was thinking.
"What a rebellious disciple! She promised not to bully me, but I almost got bullied by her just now, and she didn't even apologize," Gu Baizhi thought to herself. However, Gu Baizhi didn't expect this rebellious disciple to say sorry.
Gu Baizhi lay wearily on the bed, looking at the prison cell ceiling, a mix of emotions welling up inside her. Moonlight streamed onto the cell floor. Gu Baizhi quickly fell asleep, overcome with drowsiness.
A loud noise woke Gu Baizhi in the early morning. When she opened her eyes, she saw Liu Yin arranging the breakfast she was preparing. She looked at Gu Baizhi, preparing to call her to eat breakfast.
Gu Baizhi thought that since she was already imprisoned and bullied by her, eating her breakfast was only natural. She then prepared to stretch and begin this day, which she didn't know would be good or bad. But she suddenly realized that she was only wrapped in a bath towel, and with just a slight stretch, a large expanse of her cleavage was exposed. Liu Yin didn't turn around to greedily stare at Gu Baizhi; she wouldn't give up this hard-won advantage from her master.
"What are you looking at? Turn your head away!" Gu Baizhi said, her face flushed.
But Liu Yin didn't care; instead, she pushed Gu Baizhi even further, pinning her down. Gu Baizhi was startled; after all, being pinned down by someone so early in the morning was unbearable. Her face quickly turned even redder, and she was at a loss, clutching the towel wrapped around her body tightly.
"You promised you wouldn't bully me..." Gu Baizhi said softly.
Liu Yin quickly regained consciousness and got up from Gu Baizhi.
"Alright, Master, hurry up and change your clothes and have breakfast..." Liu Yin didn't know why, but ever since your cultivation was sealed, she always did some outrageous things. She was fine before, but why has she been unable to control her urge to bully Master lately?
Gu Baizhi got out of bed, gripped the bath towel tightly, and ran to the changing room without saying a word.
Gu Baizhi went to the changing room and slammed the door shut.
"You unfilial disciple, you unfilial disciple, all you do is bully me," Gu Baizhi muttered under her breath. After changing her clothes, Gu Baizhi walked out of the dressing room. The deep blush on her face hadn't completely faded, and her shy expression made her extremely adorable.
Liu Yinsheng took a deep breath and resisted the urge to bully Gu Baizhi.
"Master, come and eat!"
Gu Baizhi didn't answer, but silently walked to the dining table and sat down. Liu Yin knew she was angry. However, she didn't take it too seriously, after all, she had bullied her master too many times in the past two days, so it was normal for her master to harbor resentment towards her.
Gu Baizhi silently ate most of the food on the table.
"I've finished eating. You can leave now, tidy up. I need to rest," Gu Baizhi said, waving her hand.
Liu Yin didn't have any particular thoughts; she simply tidied up the desk quietly and then left.
Once again, only Bai Zhi remained alone in the cell. Gu Bai Zhi sighed, looked out the window, and fell asleep on the bed again.
Soon it arrived that day for the Southern Barbarian King to propose marriage. These past few days, Liu Yin hadn't bullied Gu Baizhi, but Gu Baizhi was truly bored in her cage. Every day she either slept, ate, or looked out the window at the scenery, or read a book. Gu Baizhi thought about escaping, but Liu Yin had already blocked all escape routes. There was no way to escape. Later, Gu Baizhi gave up. She thought it was better not to go on the marriage alliance; she wouldn't have to care about what happened afterward.
What Gu Baizhi didn't know was that the Southern Barbarian King had personally come to propose marriage today and had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, the sect leader was overjoyed to see Jiang Dianrou return.
"Have you found Elder Gu?" the sect leader asked anxiously.
"No, we've searched everywhere we can, but we still can't find Elder Gu," Jiang Dianrou said, equally anxious.
"Xiao Yin, are you sure you didn't see your master?" the sect leader asked.
"I haven't seen my master since she left a few days ago," Liu Yin said calmly, as if everything was under her control.
"Hey, Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, haven't you found my wife yet? Let me tell you, the Southern Gate Fortress of the Southern Kingdom has already been captured by us. As long as we give the order, my 800,000 Southern Barbarian troops and numerous Demonic Cult cultivators can raze your Southern Kingdom and the Heavenly Sword Sect to the ground," the Southern Barbarian King said arrogantly and unreasonably.
"King of the Southern Barbarians, stop your rudeness! This is the Heavenly Sword Sect, not your Southern Barbarian Kingdom," an elder couldn't help but say.
"The elder is right. Don't be rude. Our Heavenly Sword Sect is not to be trifled with," the crowd echoed.
Suddenly, a roar that shook the mountains, a low rumble like a volcanic eruption mixed with a piercing metallic scraping sound, shattered the previously noisy atmosphere. Looking in the direction of the sound, one saw a monster resembling a Western dragon—tall, terrifying, and imposing, inspiring awe.
"Does anyone have any objections to our king's words?" A demonic cultivator dressed in black robes behind him looked at the Heavenly Sword Sect members with a smug expression.
The sect fell silent. Everyone was terrified; this was a demonic creature at the Divine Power Realm, and even a single one could easily destroy a sect.
"If I don't see her today, I'll raze the Heavenly Sword Sect to the ground. You know I brought more than one demon with me," he said arrogantly.
"But as you've seen, Elder Gu has indeed been absent recently," the sect leader said.
"How should I know if you've maliciously hidden her? Today I either see her or I see your corpses."
"If the Southern Barbarian King really wants to marry, he can go find another wife. There are so many beautiful women in the world, why is he always fixated on Elder Gu? Besides, we've already told you that she doesn't agree to a marriage alliance with you in the first place. Why make things so difficult for her?" Jiang Dianrou asked.
"I don't care about the rest. If I, the Barbarian, am going to marry, I will marry the most beautiful woman in the Nine Provinces. I don't care if she is willing or not. Even if she is not willing, after I destroy your Heavenly Sword Sect, I will still forcibly bring her here and train her to agree." The Barbarian said.
"Your Majesty, do not worry. I have a skill that can help you find her," the demonic cultivator said.
