Gu Qingxue Fell into Deep Thought: "Why Has Third Sister Been Sleeping for Four Days and Four Nights Without Recovering?"

"What!?"

"You're saying I've been missing for a whole week!?"

When Chen Yue was carried back by Gu Family disciples, bathed, and asked about the date, he was instantly dumbfounded!

Fuck!

Wasn't this seamless back-to-back action!?

Chen Yue thought one three-day-and-three-night battle was nothing, but two of them... wasn't that going too far?

"A healing-type Soul Master examined you. There's nothing seriously wrong with you. You were just ambushed and knocked unconscious, but for some reason, your vital energy and blood are somewhat depleted..."

Seeing the twitching corner of Chen Yue's mouth, Gu Qingmo, the second family head, found it strange. "Do you know something?"

This past week had made her terribly anxious. Especially after Gu Qingbo said she had seen Chen Yue in Skywater City, yet he had not returned for two days—she had wondered if he had been kidnapped. After all, disappearances were common in Skywater City.

But thankfully.

It had only been a false alarm... Seeing that Chen Yue appeared completely unharmed, she asked again, "Do you know something?"

Chen Yue looked rather embarrassed. He raised his head, confirmed that he was the only one in the room, then finally nodded and revealed the shameful truth!

"I... might have been drugged!"

Gu Qingmo: "?"

"Wait, what did you say?"

Gu Qingmo's eyes widened as she sucked in a breath. "Y-You, an innocent young man, were actually... taken advantage of in broad daylight!?"

"N-No way!?"

The moment she cried out, several successive crashes erupted as well!

One was Gu Qingbo collapsing outside the door in shock.

Another was Gu Qingxue, the family head who had been hanging from the ceiling to watch the show, suddenly smashing her head into Chen Yue's.

Chen Yue: "???"

His eyes rolled back, and with a thud, he fell onto the bed and fainted again.

Gu Qingmo: "..."

She looked at her eldest sister, Gu Qingxue, whose expression was slightly awkward, and the corner of her mouth twitched. "Big Sister, I don't recall you having a habit of hanging from ceilings to eavesdrop?"

Gu Qingxue: "..."

"Who did you learn that from?"

Gu Qingxue: "..."

She remained silent. A closer look would reveal a faintly embarrassed blush on her face. For a true icy beauty like her, being exposed for eavesdropping was indeed rather embarrassing...

"What about Third Sister?"

She offered no explanation. True to her cold and taciturn nature, she practically ignored Gu Qingmo's teasing and directly changed the subject.

"Forget it, I'll go talk to her!"

Gu Qingmo rubbed her temples with a headache. "Big Sister, honestly... if you hadn't knocked him out, he should have been the one explaining this!"

Gu Qingxue: "..."

"Should I go?"

Gu Qingmo hurriedly grabbed her in fright. "No, forget it, I'll go!"

If Gu Qingxue went, she would probably only say one thing to Gu Qinghan: "Your man was taken advantage of!"

Then Gu Qingmo could already imagine Gu Qinghan's explosive reaction... Primordial Cold Ice, eternal and undying!

"Keep an eye on him!"

Gu Qingmo stood up. "I'll go explain things to Third Sister."

Gu Qingxue said nothing. It was only after Gu Qingmo left, dragging Gu Qingbo away by the ear when she tried to eavesdrop at the door, that Gu Qingxue turned back curiously toward Chen Yue. When her gaze shifted and landed on a certain area, a thought flashed through her mind. Why had Third Sister... slept for four days and four nights in complete exhaustion?

"Was it... really that terrifying?"
