Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Licked Again

But he knew that Jin Zijin had arrived.

Tears streaked the old man’s face, and his lips trembled as he said, "Zijin, although I don’t know why you came here or how you figured out Youyou’s illness, I know you’re no ordinary person. You told me not to ask, and I haven’t. As long as Youyou is well, I’ll listen to anything you say. But this time Youyou has been taken by that wild man, and I hope you can tell me the truth. Is that wild man you spoke of related to you?"

Jin Zijin’s resolute face always bore an inch of stubble, his skin color no different from the local farmers, making him appear like any ordinary hunter.

Yet it was those eyes, the deep color within them, that contrasted starkly with his simple and unpretentious appearance. It was as if his eyes held an expansive sea of stars, concealing secrets unknown to anyone else.

Gu Feng could not see his face clearly, but he could distinctly feel the unique light emanating from those extraordinary eyes. He tightened inside, not asking about his own matters, for his duty was to rescue Gu Youyou. That was the agreement they had made initially.

Gu Feng knew his question was overstepping, and it might displease Jin Zijin, yet he still longed for an answer!

"Yes!" After a long while, a faint word finally echoed in the room from Jin Zijin.

"Then..." Hearing Jin Zijin’s affirmative answer, Gu Feng’s expression became agitated.

"What about Youyou? You promised me, you would keep Youyou safe."

"Yes, I promised you!" Jin Zijin turned his head slightly, looking out the window. There, a black-haired head seemed to sense something and quickly darted aside. He coldly curled his lip and said in a low voice, "You take care of the Gu Family, and I will be responsible for rescuing her."

Gu Feng was startled and followed Jin Zijin’s gaze toward the door, his face slowly darkening.

...

Gu Youyou had another dream where she fell into a mud pit that exerted enormous pressure on her, leaving her struggling in vain to escape as the air in her chest was slowly compressed. The sticky substance around her covered her face, causing tremendous discomfort, and when she woke up with a start, she found someone lying on top of her, their cold tongue licking her face again and again as though savoring some delicious treat.

Gu Youyou rolled her eyes, disgust making her want to smash her head against a wall.

Why was he licking her again? Hadn’t they agreed not to cross that line? Now she couldn’t even sleep peacefully in her coffin.

The person on top sensed her awakening and paused, his profound gaze emitting a captivating light in the darkness. Gu Youyou clearly saw him.

She turned her head and noticed that the coffin lid was slightly ajar, allowing a faint light to seep in. This sliver of light was enough for Gu Youyou to clearly see the face of the man so close to her.

In that moment, he looked like a normal person, his eyes not vacant and lifeless.

Gu Youyou was briefly taken aback.

But it was only for an instant; the man reverted to his foolish state. That brief moment of lucidity seemed but an illusion.

The position was indeed uncomfortable. Gu Youyou pushed at the man, but he remained as immobile as a rigid stone. Annoyed, she glared and shouted, "Get up, push the coffin lid."

Hearing Gu Youyou’s command, the man indeed got up, knelt in the coffin, and stretched out his hands to push against the coffin lid.
