Chapter 659: The Fox Girl's Little Boat
Gu Heng set off with the little fox girl.
Neither of them followed the main road on the ground, because Mu Qingyu directly took out a miniature treasure ship and, as if by magic, made the model-sized treasure ship much larger!
It wasn't very big. Compared to the spirit boat that sent him to the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, it was much smaller. But this kind of small treasure boat is more private, you know.
Gu Heng looked at the treasure ship in front of him, trying his best not to be too dumbfounded.
This should be what is known as a "portable ritual implement"!
He doesn't have such things. He doesn't lack spirit stones or gold and silver. These things aren't cheap, but they're not unaffordable either. The key is that he doesn't know how to use them.
With this eccentric, wealthy fox spirit clinging to him, he felt that his journey would be much more enjoyable...
It was quite rare; he hadn't felt this relaxed since arriving in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm. Although it had only been a few days, the chance encounter had provided a welcome change of pace, making the trip much more comfortable.
"Brother Gu, if you don't mind my humble hospitality, please take a seat."
Mu Qingyu even slightly squatted down to greet him. She was of noble status to begin with, and now she was trying to act like a maid, which didn't quite look right and even looked a bit ridiculous. However, Gu Heng understood now that the little fox girl had a bit of a performative personality and liked to act silly and make a fuss.
"Ahem, then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
Gu Heng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.
Since she's so into character, I can play along too.
"Hehe~ Brother Gu understands me very well."
Mu Qingyu laughed heartily, as if she had finally found someone who perfectly matched her thoughts and kept her from feeling too bored. She was pampered and the only one willing to play along with her antics was Mu Luolan, whom she had grown up with. As for the other guys she had met, they either didn't like to play along with her act or didn't dare to.
They can always find some excuse for others.
Over time, Mu Qingyu herself got annoyed.
But Brother Gu didn't seem to dislike this kind of thing; he seemed to enjoy it, perhaps to avoid embarrassing her.
one way or another.
Just being willing to cooperate with her is enough to greatly increase Mu Qingyu's favorability and impression points.
She felt that Gu Heng was probably much older than the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable and the White Feather Immortal Venerable, and that he was just pretending to be young, so he liked to play with the younger generation.
But even if he really is old, he's still much more pleasing to the eye than that Bai Mo, hmph!
The treasure ship ascended rapidly. It was quite fast; Gu Heng could sit on the deck and see the floating clouds rushing past him, but there was not much wind. Upon closer inspection, he could see a layer of light covering the hull.
He should get one of these too; flying in the sky is much more comfortable than walking on the ground, isn't it?
But Gu Heng always felt that the Swift Boots would be even faster.
After all, it's the system's treasure; it can't be inferior to Mu Qingyu's little boat, can it?
Travel time is always quiet and boring. This is Gu Heng's second time going to heaven, so it's hard to say how much novelty is left. Since that's the case, we can only chat.
"Why did Miss Qingyu run away from home in the first place?"
He instinctively felt that this was not a good topic, and it might be very uncomfortable for Mu Qingyu, but given that he had helped Mu Qingyu exorcise the evil spirit, and that she had a good impression of him, he shamelessly asked her about it.
However, Mu Qingyu seemed to have known he would ask this question, and was not surprised at all.
“My tribe wanted me to marry a guy I hated, but I didn’t want to, so I ran away.”
Gu Heng wasn't surprised by this answer.
Although they are demons, the major tribes among them should have many rules, but these rules are usually very annoying, and Mu Qingyu seemed particularly unwilling to follow them.
"So, you're going back now because you're planning to get married?"
"No way! But the engagement has already been cancelled, and I can go back and give them the good news without any guilt!"
The little fox girl didn't care at all; in fact, she was secretly excited. She was overjoyed, but she hoped even more that this happy event could be known to the Nine-Tailed Immortal and the entire fox clan!
That's the significance of announcing good news.
Although Mu Qingyu had been wondering why a master alchemist like Gu Heng would be willing to help her, she wasn't stupid. She knew very well that the "True Spirit of the Fox Emperor" within her body was a "curse" that had plagued the Fox Clan for many years and killed many young prodigies, a curse that even Immortal Venerable Baiyu couldn't completely cure.
Gu Heng was able to be completely cured, and it only took one night!
A powerful expert, even more skilled than Bai Yu Xianzun, the "Number One Alchemist in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm," helped her without asking for any reward...
Is there really such a good thing in the world?
Mu Qingyu couldn't believe it.
But since Gu Heng didn't say anything, she was too embarrassed to ask. What if he really didn't intend to ask for any reward and just wanted to help her treat her chronic illness?
Wouldn't that make her seem like a snob?
I don't want to be seen that way!
"It doesn't seem that simple..."
Gu Heng didn't pry into such private matters, but based on his experience reading novels in his previous life, whenever marriage was involved, and both parties were influential, it was never something that could be canceled so easily...
It seems the little fox girl will encounter more trouble later on.
But I don't want to think about those things now.
Let's talk about it when we get to Twilight City. Anyway, he'll definitely help if he can.
