Fire Soul Masters Really Had Their Tricks

To figure out what Huo Wu was really after, Gu Zhi pretended not to notice her hiding outside the window and took a small sip of the wine on the table.

What was wrong with Douluo Continent? Fine, no tea, but couldn't they at least boil some hot water? What decent person kept wine on the table?

Gu Zhi had never been much of a drinker, and Liu Erlong had already given him a bit of PTSD before. Now he even had to put on an act...

"Ha! Fell for it, didn't you?"

Huo Wu's laughter came from outside the window. Then she flipped through it, staring smugly at Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi glanced at her and calmly forced the wine he had just swallowed out through his fingertips. Huo Wu's smile immediately froze on her face.

[Hahaha! I'm dying! Huo Wu's like, you can do that?]

[No way! Brother Gu's train of thought really is different! I thought he'd just spit it out!]

[He learned from Duan Yu! My husband Gu Zhi really has to be the one with the most tricks!]

[What is Huo Wu even trying to do? She failed at stalking him, so now she's drugging him? What's the point?]

[Don't tell me it's a honey trap! The problem is, even an immortal couldn't do anything to Gu Zhi!]

The viewers were amused by Gu Zhi's outrageous move, then began analyzing Huo Wu's behavior. Still, none of them could figure out what she was trying to do.

"Ha... would you believe me if I said this was a misunderstanding?"

Huo Wu laughed awkwardly as she slowly backed away. But Gu Zhi was not about to let her leave. This girl definitely has something up her sleeve!

"You can leave, but drink this wine first."

Gu Zhi wanted to see what she was up to. Could she have joined some Evil Soul Master organization and planned to use him as an offering to prove her loyalty?

Otherwise, why had she appeared as soon as Gu Zhi returned? And why had she used a strange incident as her excuse?

"C-Can I not drink it...?"

Huo Wu's face turned pale. She stared hesitantly at the pot of wine, making Gu Zhi and the viewers even more convinced that it was poisoned.

"What do you think?"

Gu Zhi had no patience for anyone who wanted his life. He might not enjoy killing, but that did not mean he could not kill.

Huo Wu looked at Gu Zhi's dark expression and realized that he had misunderstood. Thinking of all the overwhelming abilities the viewers had described, she could only steel herself and drain the entire pot of wine in one go!

[She really drank it? I thought she'd struggle a little!]

[No! If it isn't poisoned, what are you scared of? You had me ready to tell Gu Zhi to go while it's hot!]

[I'm begging you, are the people above even normal? It's such a powerless feeling when my hand can't reach through the screen and slap you!]

[Going while it's hot is too deranged! As a member of the Huang family, I declare that I don't know this person!]

[Huo Wu might be a little willful, but she shouldn't be a bad person, right? Aren't you all just overthinking it?]

[Bro! They had just heard about a strange incident, and then she pulled this stunt right after! Who knows whether something strange possessed her?]

[I say Gu Zhi is still too forgiving! If it were me, Huo Wu would've been cosplaying Louis XVI the moment she climbed through that window!]

[Seriously, I can't talk to you murderous maniacs! I'm hugging my Baby Zhuqing and quietly watching the show!]

The comments were getting more and more outrageous. Anyone who did not know better would have thought some live-action brawl from next door had spilled over...

Unable to see the comments, Gu Zhi remained unaffected. Huo Wu was still gulping down wine and had no time to care about anything else. Meng Yiran had already entered cultivation, Wang Qiu'er boredly hopped onto the bed to sleep, and only Liu Erlong seemed to have noticed something after reading the comments. She slowly headed toward Gu Zhi's room.

After Huo Wu finished the wine, her face turned bright red. Desire surged in her eyes, and she swayed as she fell toward Gu Zhi.

[No way! Again? So this was her plan? Where's the goblin army? Follow me back to the nest!]

[Brother Gu! Can you stop using such model-quality tactics all the time? I really can't learn this!]

[These fire soul masters really have their tricks! One move really can carry them through everything!]

[This is bad! The stupid system still hasn't opened a membership channel! Where am I supposed to get my balanced nutritional supplements?]

[Dammit! Why are you all so awful? Let go of my husband!]

[Don't panic, person above! Just think of Gu Zhi as practicing his skills!]

[That made me laugh! Those are good skills! He definitely needs to practice them!]

[Wait, it's Sister Liu! Great, we're saved!]

The viewers were in utter despair when Liu Erlong arrived outside the door. When she pushed it open, she saw Huo Wu constantly pressing herself against Gu Zhi while Gu Zhi wore the awkward expression of someone caught red-handed.

"This... it's not what you think..."

Gu Zhi did not dare push Huo Wu away now. The girl was already somewhat delirious and kept tearing at her clothes. If he let go, the livestream would really get thrown into the little black room.

"I'll detoxify her right away!"

Caught in the act by Liu Erlong, Gu Zhi panicked badly. He hurriedly restrained Huo Wu with his abilities while pulling out an antidote pill.

"If you're going to chase excitement, then see it through to the end!"

Liu Erlong's words did not just leave Gu Zhi dumbfounded—the viewers' defenses completely shattered as well!

[Sister Liu, what are you doing, Sister Liu?! Is that really your line?!]

[No, Liu Erlong really has the air of an empress! She can tolerate even this?]

[Is this still Qidian? Where the hell did we end up?]

[The screen went black again! I swear, if the stupid system doesn't open memberships, I'm dropping this story!]

[It's over! Liu Erlong, how did you become like this? Where are morals? Where is ethics? Where is the membership?]

[That reminds me! Everyone, hurry up and record what you can! This livestream could vanish at any time!]

[Sister Liu, look at me too! I'd go through fire and water for you, Sister Liu!]

[So no one cares whether Gu Zhi survives? Don't work the poor donkey to death!]

Although they could not see what happened after the screen went black, since it had already gone black, Liu Erlong had probably succeeded in persuading Gu Zhi...

With no other options, the viewers could only shift their perspective to Zhu Zhuqing's group. The moment they looked, everyone fell silent!

[Wait, did I miss another episode? Where the hell did this take me now?]

[Why is it always Gu Zhi celebrating while everyone else is facing tribulation? Strange phenomenon, pick your targets properly!]

[Baby Zhuqing, how did you get chosen by the strange phenomenon? Be sure to follow the rules!]

[I can't take it anymore! I can't stay in this livestream for even one more minute! Seeing this strange scene hurts even more than watching Gu Zhi embrace women on both sides!]

[Can you all stop it already? Hurry up and help my Baby Rongrong find a way out!]

[Relax! I'm still watching the replay!]

As Zhu Zhuqing and the other two slowly followed Ghost Granny down the street, the appearance of the comments was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise. Even if the comments could not help them escape, they could at least reveal their situation to Liu Erlong and Meng Yiran.

However, after scrolling back and seeing what the comments had been discussing, their moods began to collapse as well!

"These cheating cats! I was clearly here first!"

The usually calm Zhu Zhuqing completely broke down. How had everyone else suddenly strengthened their relationship with Gu Zhi?

"Damn it! We're still worrying ourselves sick here, and he's out there enjoying himself!"

What dissatisfied Ning Rongrong was that Gu Zhi was currently embracing women on both sides. Could he not come rescue them first? It was not like she would refuse!

Xiao Wu was the calmest of them all. Right now, she was more concerned with whether the comments could help them find a way to break the deadlock...
