The Female Lead is Looking at Me Differently (GL) - Chapter 35.3

When she woke up the next day, Wen Zhao was sure that all her discomfort had been completely cured after last night. She rolled over in the blanket and silently turned over.

Fu Yu reached into the bed and pulled out the clothes they had taken off the night before, then threw them on the floor.

After a night of ‘tossing and turning’, the clothes were damp with sweat and wrinkled, clearly unable to be worn again.

She then found new clothes and handed them to Wen Zhao.

After re-dressing, Wen Zhao finally looked human again.

Just before they were about to go out, Fu Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist and took a step forward, pressing Wen Zhao against the door panel and gently kissed her.

Wen Zhao’s face turned slightly red, she turned her head away, a hint of crimson at the corner of her eye, like the color of peach petals.

When they went downstairs, they didn’t see Zhan Fu. But since it was still early morning, it was normal for Zhan Fu not to be there yet. However, as they were having breakfast, someone suddenly arrived.

He was followed by a group of guards. Judging from the insignia on their clothes… they seemed to be from the City Lord’s residence.

The leading man came forward and said respectfully to You Zixia, “Young Master You, I am here on behalf of the City Lord. Please come with me.”

You Zixia was a little surprised, “Me?”

“Yes.”

He looked at Wen Zhao and Fu Yu, “And my junior sisters…”

The man said, “The City Lord only asked for you. As for these two young ladies, I’m very sorry, but I haven’t received any orders to invite them along.”

You Zixia didn’t panic. His eyes moved slightly, and then he asked softly, “Is it… because of the young lady?”

The man’s expression changed slightly, and he didn’t answer You Zixia’s question, but he didn’t deny it either.

So You Zixia stood up and said to Fu Yu and Wen Zhao, “Junior sister, Fu Yu, I think I’ll go and see what’s going on. You two wait for me here.”

Wen Zhao nodded quickly, after all, she was indeed a little worried about Zhan Fu’s situation, and it was a good thing that You Zixia could go and check it out. So she said, “Okay, Senior brother, you go ahead.”

After You Zixia left, Wen Zhao propped her chin with one hand and couldn’t help but ask Fu Yu, “What could be going on?”

Fu Yu’s eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the direction of the ceiling.

“Perhaps, the City Lord of Luoyue City is looking for him because of the charm gu on Zhan Fu.”

Wen Zhao nodded, “I think that’s very likely too, but… I still feel a little worried.”

At this moment, Fu Yu took out her sword, then made a sword gesture with her finger, and the sharp sword flew out of the window.

Wen Zhao: “?”

The next moment, she heard the sound of a struggle coming from above, and vaguely heard a familiar voice.

Could it be….

Wen Zhao asked, “Is Lu Bicai up there?”

Fu Yu nodded slightly.

Wen Zhao felt a mix of emotions and didn’t know what to say. Sure enough, he had gotten addicted to being a thief, and even at this time, he was climbing onto the roof to eavesdrop on their conversation.

And in broad daylight, isn’t Lu Bicai afraid of attracting attention?

Soon, Lu Bicai escaped from outside and into the room.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to escape, but as soon as he showed any intention of fleeing, the sword’s attacks became fierce. With Lu Bicai’s abilities, he couldn’t possibly defeat Fu Yu.

What he didn’t expect was that she could discover him hiding on the roof this time. This person… was truly not to be underestimated. Was she really just someone who had recently started cultivating, and hadn’t even formed a golden core?

Once he entered the inn, the sword that had been chasing him slowly stopped and returned to Fu Yu’s side.

Lu Bicai sighed helplessly and walked over, “Miss Fu Yu, you’re really merciless.”

Fu Yu, however, showed a nearly mocking expression. She looked at Lu Bicai and retorted, “Do I need to be merciful to you?”

Lu Bicai: “…”

He clearly knew he was in the wrong, so he coughed silently and didn’t say anything more.

Wen Zhao looked at him, feeling a bit smug, and no longer felt afraid. After all, she had Fu Yu by her side, so she didn’t have to fear any more tricks from Lu Bicai.

Seeing Wen Zhao’s expression, Lu Bicai sighed as he sat down.

“Miss Wen Zhao, you’ve really misunderstood me,” he picked up his chopsticks and started to help himself to the food on the table as if he were a familiar guest. “To be honest, I only have three doses of the caihu powder on me. I used one on you last time, and I have two doses left. These two doses might accompany me into retirement. I haven’t used them recklessly even once.”

Wen Zhao raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing him.

In her own words, it would be “I don’t believe a word you say.”

Reading Wen Zhao’s subtext, Lu Bicai didn’t seem disappointed or angry. He just shook his head in feigned disappointment, “Sigh, no one believes the truth anymore. How sad.”

Hearing Lu Bicai’s words, Fu Yu lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the emotions in her eyes. After a moment, she asked, “Zhan Fu, what’s the deal with the charm gu?”

Hearing Fu Yu’s question, Wen Zhao also perked up. “Right, and who is the senior sister you mentioned earlier? Is it the Divine Doctor Xie Ting?”

Lu Bicai paused his eating, and a leisurely smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

“Yes. My senior sister is indeed Xie Ting.” He answered Wen Zhao’s question first.

That made sense.

Wen Zhao frowned slightly and couldn’t help but ask, “Then what’s going on with Zhan Fu’s charm gu? Is it a poison or a disease? What you said before, that the charm gu will activate after reaching adulthood, is it… will it cause death?”

Lu Bicai’s eyebrows moved slightly. He raised his eyes, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were devoid of any smile for the first time. His gaze swept from Wen Zhao’s face to Fu Yu’s, his fingers paused as he put down his chopsticks.

“The charm gu…” he narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness in his smile. “It’s a kind of poison.”

Wen Zhao’s eyes widened involuntarily, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Then, then Zhan Fu she—”

Lu Bicai poured himself a cup of wine, sniffed it, and said softly, “To be honest, before coming here, I went to see the City Lord. The young lady Zhan Fu hasn’t been here for the past two days because she has already fallen ill from the charm gu and is on the verge of death.”

And as soon as Lu Bicai finished speaking, the system said: [I’ve checked, and Zhan Fu is indeed a character in the original novel. The reason why her plot wasn’t shown in the book is that before the plot reached Luoyue City, she had already died young due to the incurable poison.]
