A familiar voice reached Ren Ye's ears. He turned toward the inn's entrance and saw a tall, fair-skinned beauty with legs that looked about six feet long walking in with several companions, her expression animated.
He paused briefly, then called out with a smile, "Gu Nian!"
"Hmm?"
The long-legged beauty turned at his voice. When she spotted Ren Ye, surprise filled her eyes. "Oh! Isn't... isn't this the lord of our New Year's Watchers' Courtyard Six Park District? What are you doing here?"
"It really is you! What a coincidence." Ren Ye walked over to greet her, teasing with a smile, "Greetings, Senior Sister Gu. Your humble junior pays his respects."
Tang Feng recognized Gu Nian too and immediately bounded over, chiming in with a sleazy grin, "The moment you see a beauty, your little junior stands up to pay his respects. How is he so well behaved?"
"Oh my, Miss Songstress! With your lover away, is talking dirty the only way you can relieve your loneliness?" Gu Nian was never one to hold her tongue. Unlike Ai Fei, she wasn't aloof, nor was she as "valiant" as Dragon Head. Lively and outgoing, she was a very entertaining girl.
Back when Brother Huang had first pulled strings to get Ren Ye out of prison, Gu Nian had been the first Supernatural Ability User he met. Later, during the struggle over the Qingliang Prefecture Star Gate, Gu Nian had mainly been responsible for protecting Ren Qingning and Ren Daguo in the Real World. She had always done her utmost and had helped Ren Ye a great deal.
Later, when Brother Huang left Shanghai, he had intended to bring Gu Nian along to join the Park District too. However, her stage Promotion Mission and some miscellaneous matters had kept her from following.
