Gu Yue: Doesn't she have hands herself?

Gu Yue: Does she not have hands of her own?

Qiangu Wuji looked at Tang Wulin in astonishment, asking with a hint of disbelief.

"What did you say? Hand her over to me?"

"Yes," Tang Wulin nodded, his eyes filled with bitterness. "Qiangu, you are so capable; surely you would be able to protect her well if I left her in your care."

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji froze, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.

Heaven is my witness, I have no intention of stealing your wife, you pushed her onto me yourself; you can't blame me for anything later.

"Qiangu, what's wrong? Is there some sort of inconvenience?"

Seeing Qiangu Wuji remain silent, Tang Wulin assumed there was some difficulty and began to worry.

Qiangu Wuji snapped back to reality, took another look at the other party, and then feigned a troubled nod.

"It's nothing. Rest assured and leave her to me; I will take good care of her."

Qiangu Wuji nodded, though he thought to himself that it would be a miracle if anyone could actually track down Na'er's family.

After saying this, she turned and left the house without looking back.

He pondered the reason for Gu Yue's anger, but before he could figure it out, he felt his arm being squeezed tightly.

Qiangu Wuji sat to the side and watched quietly, unable to help but sigh.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin was dumbfounded, staring at Qiangu Wuji in shock.

Although she took small bites, her speed was not slow, and in a short while, she had devoured three large loaves of bread.

"Na'er, are you hungry?"

"I don't know either, perhaps she is just in a bad mood."

"Wuji, you two stay here and behave yourselves for a while; I have to go out and take care of something."

"But I think if the teacher finds out you brought a strange girl home, she definitely won't be happy."

Only in that way could it be helpful for improving one's own strength.

"Since this is Wuji's idea, then take her with you. I will have someone look into her family, and we can send her back once we find them."

However, just as he reached out his hand, Gu Yue's cold voice came from the side.

There was no discrepancy there.

"Gu Yue, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Having said that, she gave the two no further chance to speak, turned around, and walked out of the alley.

If it were him, having such a beautiful and cute little sister, he would probably feel miserable for a long while if she just left like that.

Before Qiangu Wuji could say anything, Tang Wulin began to feel puzzled.

But now that he had to push Na'er away again, he couldn't bear it, so he hesitated and said.

However, at this moment, a cold voice rang out inopportunely from the side.

Isn't Na'er just Gu Yue's other half? For the two of them to talk about this, wasn't it the same as discussing her ownership right in front of her?

It was indeed quite strange.

By this time, her mouth was covered in crumbs, staining her little face everywhere, making her look like a little kitten.

Looking at her resentful expression earlier, it seemed that this high-ranking figure he had yet to meet was likely going to suffer.

Na'er looked at the bread, her eyes turning bright and sparkling, and without a word, she took it and ate with great relish.

But now that Gu Yue is by his side, will she still leave in the end?

Or will it accelerate the plot of the two merging?

Qiangu Wuji looked at Gu Yue in surprise; the young girl was icy cold, as if she had written her unhappiness all over her face.

"This little sister looks quite pitiful; we can't just leave her be."

At this time, Na'er was reticent and had no memories, so her answers were completely blank.

After everything was settled and arranged, Gu Yue, who had left earlier, returned, only this time she was accompanied by someone else: Leng Yaozhu, who had just finished looking for a house.

Next, following the original story, Qiangu Wuji took Tang Wulin's place and asked Na'er some questions about herself.

She ate in a very cute way, like a little kitten, taking small, dainty bites.

"Does she not have hands of her own?"

When he asked if she wanted to go home with him, the little girl tilted her head and then obediently gave a nod.

"Na'er, just eat these for now. When my mom gets back, we'll have something delicious to eat in a little while."

In the end, Na'er devoured ten loaves of bread before she finally stopped.

Qiangu Wuji was stunned, only then realizing that the current situation seemed somewhat complicated.

Qiangu Wuji pondered for a moment, not quite understanding what Gu Yue meant, so he shook his head and said uncertainly.

The old house under the twilight stood lonely on the street paved with bluestone slabs, like a lifeless coffin, its surface covered in the marks of erosion by time.

"Classmate Qiangu, what is happening with Gu Yue...?"

Na'er as a child was truly adorable; with her long silver hair and beautiful little face, she was quiet and well-behaved, just like a living doll.

Although the two were the same person, their personalities were vastly different. If they were to merge, it would mean one of them would cease to exist, which felt like a real pity when you thought about it.

Qiangu Wuji looked at Na'er, who was sitting quietly on the sofa opposite him, and asked instinctively.

Gu Yue gave him a deep look, then averted her gaze.

Na'er did not answer him, only staring at him unblinkingly with her crimson eyes, and then...

Everything was settled; both parties had obtained what they needed and seemed quite happy.

Hearing this, Qiangu Wuji and Tang Wulin turned to look at Gu Yue. The young girl's expression was cold, her beautiful brows knitted into a knot.

In the original story, a large part of the reason for Na'er's departure lay with Gu Yue.

After a pause, she added another sentence.

Sigh, for now, I'll just take things one step at a time.

Fortunately, the kitchen was stocked with plenty of fresh food, clearly prepared in advance by Leng Yaozhu.

Na'er as a child was indeed very cute and naive. After agreeing to stay with him, she held onto his sleeve tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.

"In a bad mood?"

Theoretically, he hoped that Na'er would accelerate her fusion with Gu Yue as soon as possible; only when the two were completely merged would they be the truly complete Silver Dragon King.

However, emotionally, he didn't really want the two of them to merge.

After a long string of complaints, she finally curbed her anger for the time being, looked at Na'er beside Qiangu Wuji, thought for a moment, and spoke.

Tang Wulin blinked, even more confused.

Qiangu Wuji watched with amusement and, without thinking too much, reached out to wipe her face.

The house Leng Yaozhu had purchased was near Hongshan Academy, an old residence that had seen better days.

Originally, after transmigrating here, he hadn't intended to snatch someone else's love, but since Tang Wulin was practically pushing his wife onto him, he couldn't be blamed for being immoral.

Qiangu Wuji smiled and said nothing, rising to head toward the kitchen.

Thinking of this, Qiangu Wuji couldn't help but consider another question.

After entering the large house, Leng Yaozhu assigned rooms to the three of them before returning to the main hall.

Gu Yue didn't speak, only watching Qiangu Wuji calmly, though it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Once she left, it would likely be forever.

And so, the four of them set off on the return journey.

"Gurgle~"

As the other half of Gu Yue, she seemed to have inherited all the beauty of the Silver Dragon King; it was no wonder Tang Wulin in the original story remained so obsessed with her long after she left.

He found some ready-to-eat food like bread among the many items, and considering Na'er's appetite, he grabbed a bit more before returning to the living room.

After she left, only three people remained in the living room.

Upon entering the small alley, Leng Yaozhu didn't say a word before stepping forward to inspect Qiangu Wuji, looking nervous as if she were terrified he might be injured somewhere.

Even though Qiangu Wuji repeatedly stated he wasn't hurt, Leng Yaozhu remained incredibly anxious, scolding the Aolai City magistrate for his negligence while she checked him over.

Qiangu Wuji watched her retreating back, thinking to himself that she must have gone to find the Aolai City magistrate.

His stomach let out a growl.

Don't let his outward appearance fool you; he was actually overjoyed inside.

"Whatever you want."

"Are you two very happy?"

It turned out to be Na'er; she had moved behind Qiangu Wuji, hugging his arm with a fearful expression on her face.

"Na'er is scared."

At this, Gu Yue's expression turned even colder. She let out a heavy snort, said nothing, rose to walk toward her room, and then slammed the door shut behind her.
