Fire Soul Masters Have Their Ways

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 left alcohol on the table?

Gu Zhi was never much of a drinker, and Liu Erlong had already left him with a bit of PTSD before. Now he had to put on an act too...

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

Huo Wu's laughter came from outside the window. Then she vaulted through it, staring at Gu Zhi with a smug look on her face.

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

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

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

[He learned from Duan Yu! My husband Gu Zhi really has the most tricks up his sleeve!]

[What exactly is Huo Wu trying to do? If stalking didn't work, did she switch to drugging him? What's the point?]

[Could this be a honey trap? The problem is, even immortals couldn't do anything to Gu Zhi!]

The comments were amused by Gu Zhi's outrageous move, then began analyzing Huo Wu's behavior. Still, no one could figure out what she was trying to do.

"Ha ha! Would you believe me if I said this was a misunderstanding?"

Huo Wu gave an awkward laugh and quietly backed away. But Gu Zhi had no intention of letting her leave. He thought that this girl was definitely up to no good!

"You can leave after you drink this wine."

Gu Zhi wanted to see what she was after. Could she have joined some Evil Soul Master organization and wanted to use him as her initiation offering?

Otherwise, why had she appeared the moment Gu Zhi returned? She had even used a strange incident as an excuse.

"C... can I not drink it...?"

Huo Wu's face went pale. She stared hesitantly at the jug of wine, which only made Gu Zhi and the commenters more certain that it was poisoned.

"What do you think?"

Gu Zhi had no patience for anyone who wanted him dead. He might not like killing people, but that did not mean he could not kill!

Huo Wu looked at Gu Zhi's dark expression and realized he had misunderstood. Thinking of all the overwhelming abilities the comments had introduced, she could only drink down the entire jug as if marching to her death!

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

[No! If it isn't poisoned, what are you scared of? I was even getting ready for Gu Zhi to take advantage while it's hot!]

[I'm seriously begging you, are the people above normal? It's such a helpless feeling knowing my slap can't reach through the screen!]

"While it's hot" is way too deranged! The Huang family would like to state that we do not know this person!]

[Huo Wu may be a little willful, but she shouldn't be a bad person, right? Aren't you all just reading too much into it?]

[Bro! They'd just heard about a strange incident, then she immediately pulled this stunt! Who knows whether something strange possessed her?]

[If you ask me, 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!]

[Damn! I can't talk to you bloodthirsty maniacs! I'll just hug my Baby Zhuqing and quietly watch the show!]

The comments were getting more and more outrageous. Anyone unaware of the situation would have thought the live-action stream next door had come over...

Unable to see the comments, Gu Zhi was unaffected. Huo Wu was still gulping down wine and had no time to care. Meng Yiran had entered cultivation mode long ago, Wang Qiu'er uninterestedly jumped onto the bed to sleep, and only Liu Erlong seemed to have noticed something from the comments. She slowly headed toward Gu Zhi's room.

After Huo Wu finished drinking, her face turned bright red. Desire surged in her eyes, and she swayed before falling toward Gu Zhi.

[No! Again? So this was her plan? Where is the goblin army? Return to the nest with me!]

[Brother Gu! Could you stop always using such hard-to-replicate tactics? We really can't learn this!]

[These fire soul masters really have a thing going on! One move really can carry them everywhere!]

[Oh no! The damn system still hasn't opened a membership channel! Where am I supposed to get my balanced nutrition?]

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

[Don't panic, person above! Just treat it as Gu Zhi going off to practice his technique!]

[That made me laugh! Good technique! This technique needs practice!]

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

The comments were in the middle of losing it 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 look of someone caught red-handed.

"This... it isn't what you think..."

Gu Zhi did not dare push Huo Wu away now. The girl was already a little out of her mind and kept tearing at her clothes. If he let go, the livestream really would get sent to the naughty corner.

"I'll help her detoxify right away!"

Caught red-handed by Liu Erlong, Gu Zhi was panicking badly. He hurriedly used his methods to restrain Huo Wu while taking out detoxification pills.

"If we're going for thrills, then let's see it through to the end!"

Liu Erlong's words not only stunned Gu Zhi, but completely shattered the commenters' defenses as well!

[Sister Liu, what are you doing, Sister Liu?! Is that supposed to be your line?!]

[No, I think Liu Erlong has the bearing of an empress! She can even tolerate this?]

[Is this still Qidian? Where the hell did this take me?]

[The screen went black again! I swear, if the damn system doesn't enable memberships, I'm really dropping this!]

[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 whatever you can! This livestream could disappear at any time!]

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

[So does no one care 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 gone black already, Liu Erlong had probably succeeded in persuading Gu Zhi...

With no other options, the commenters could only shift their view to Zhu Zhuqing and the other two. The moment they looked, they all fell silent!

[No! Did I miss another episode? Where the hell did this take me now?]

[Why is it always Gu Zhi celebrating while everyone else is undergoing a trial? Strange entity, can you pick your targets properly?]

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

[I can't take it anymore! I can't stay in this livestream for even another minute! Seeing this bizarre scene feels worse than watching Gu Zhi surrounded by women!]

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

[Don't rush! I'm still watching the replay!]

As Zhu Zhuqing and the other two slowly followed the ghostly old woman 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.

But after scrolling back to see what the comments had been discussing, their moods began to collapse as well!

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

Even the usually calm Zhu Zhuqing completely lost it. How had the others suddenly deepened their relationships with Gu Zhi?

"Damn it! We're still trembling in fear here, and he's off enjoying himself!"

What Ning Rongrong resented was that Gu Zhi was currently surrounded by women. Couldn't he come save them first? It was not as if 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 situation...
