The Mighty Mage
Chapter 162: White Lion Cub

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: White Lion Cub

"I am confirming whether you are telling the truth or not." Gu Jin said. She didn’t even realize that her tone had subconsciously softened a lot.

Si Kai narrowed his eyes and asked,

"Sister did some bully you?"

Gu Jin paused, a small smile appeared on her face and she said,

"No. How can someone bully a person like me?"

"So why are you looking so unhappy?" Si Kai blinked cutely.

Gu Jin was stunned and touched her face, she looked at her reflection and realized that she looked as she usually does.

So how does Si Kai know about her true feelings?

Gu Jin shifted her gaze to Si Kai and smiled,

"Kai I am completely fine, you might have misunderstood."

"No. I can see it! You are unhappy!" Si Kai insisted.

Gu Jin lifted him in her arms and kissed his cheeks,

"How could I be unhappy with such a cute brother by my side?"

Si Kai froze before struggling,

"You...you are too much! How could you kiss me?"

"I am your sister, of course, I can kiss you." Gu Jin said with a wide smile.

Si Kai snorted and struggled out of Gu Jin’s grasp.

"I am hungry." He said and Gu Jin’s heart melted.

The siblings shared a meal before Gu Jin asked,

"So what are the resources you require to complete the next stage."

She could clearly feel that Si Kai’s strength was now equivalent to an Intermediate Rank Tier 2 Mage.

Who would have thought that a 6-year-old could become so powerful in just a year?

"Sister you don’t need to worry about that." Si Kai with a smile as he munched on the food.

Gu Jin felt as if someone had shot an arrow through her heart.

Previously she always thought that Si Kai was cute...however now...she truly detested her vision.

Si Kai was cute, but his beast form was even more cute!

As a result, Si Kai was forced to stay in Gu Jin’s arms.

She even went outside the space and introduced Si Kai to everyone.

"Oh my god! This cub is so cute!"

"Miss Gu, can I touch it?"

Gu Jin had already thought of an excuse and said,

"It doesn’t like to be touched by anyone."

Si Kai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. If Gu Jin dared to let those vile maids touch him, he swore to shave off his fur from that area!

"Okay! Okay, I will admire it from afar!"

Gu Jin nodded with a proud expression.

"Miss, where did you find this cub?" One of the maids asked with curiosity.

Before even though they admired Gu Jin they never dared to go close or near her, but after seeing the cute white lion cub, they couldn’t control their excitement and started to chat with Gu Jin casually.

"I won it in a competition." Gu Jin lied.

Si Kai: "..."

He kept a straight face under the admiring eyes of the maids and the curious gaze of the butler, however in his heart he was very unhappy.

What did she mean by winning him?

Was he just a prize?

No! He was her little brother! How could she announce him as a price?

"Miss if it is the prize, can I buy it from you? I promise to give you a good amount." One of the maids suggested.

After staying in the Long Mansion for 150 years without spending any money, she was able to save up a considerable amount and she was sure that if she used her savings she could buy the cub.

Gu Jin showed an interested expression,

"Oh, how much can you offer me?"

Si Kai’s eyes widened, and he instantly tapped his paws on Gu Jin’s shoulder anxiously, as if saying,

"Don’t you dare!"

The maid said,

"How about 1 billion yuan?"

1 billion yuan? The maid was quite rich. Gu Jin thought.

She winked at the maid and the maid felt as if her heart was struck.

When she shifted her gaze the cub suddenly looked less cute.

If she paid 1 billion yuan for Gu Jin, can she keep her?

The maid was a middle-aged woman with no family and always wanted a companion for herself.

She had good potential and had reached the advanced rank when she celebrated her 100th birthday.

However, due to a lack of resources and offending the wrong person, she ended up joining the Long Mansion.

Life in the Long Mansion was pretty simple and she would cultivate her leisure time.

Soon she would become a Super Mage. She planned to give some civil services and get her revenge, but if she died, she was sure that no one would accompany her...

Hence the maid wanted a companion.

If she died, she wanted someone to carry out her burial...

Now she felt that Gu Jin wasn’t a bad option.

Gu Jin unaware of the maid’s thoughts, said in a loud voice,

"Fine! I agree."

"Awoo." Si Kai shouted and buried his face into Gu Jin’s shoulder.

"So cute!"

"My goodness!"

"Wow!"

All the maids were stunned by the cute scene in front of them.

Gu Jin laughed.

Her laughter was filled with mirth. It sounded particularly pleasant to the ears.

All the maids and the head butler were stunned.

They didn’t have any words left.

How could someone look so beautiful?

"Jin’er?" A soft voice called.

Everyone turned around and they saw Jasmine who was looking at Gu Jin with a dazed expression.

Gu Jin shifted her gaze to Jasmine and suddenly Jasmine started to run downstairs.

"Young miss be careful!"

"Miss!"

All the maids and head butlers felt as if their hearts were about to drop.

Jasmine safely reached the last step and rushed towards Gu Jin. She stopped two steps away from Gu Jin and looked at Gu Jin with a dazed expression.

The maids and the head butler were worried.

What if Young Miss harmed Miss Gu?

What if she harmed herself?

However, they heard Jasmine speak softly,

"Jin...why didn’t you come to save me?"

Gu Jin was speechless.

Seeing the sadness in Jasmine’s eyes, Gu Jin was filled with a strange emotion...

Jasmine suddenly blinked and smiled,

"Jin you will come to meet me tomorrow, right? I will wait for you!"

Gu Jin’s brows furrowed.

How was this possible?

Why was Jasmine still not cured?

Gu Jin was sure that in a month or two, Jasmine would be completely cured. By now she should at least be half cured, right?

Then why did Jasmine’s condition didn’t look optimal at all?

The head butler however had different thoughts.

Earlier whenever Jasmine woke up, she was always in a state of frenzy, she would throw away things, shout, and even harm her own brother.

But today, even though Jasmine was still not in her right mind, she was at least calm.

Gu Jin softly said to Jasmine,

"Come here."

Jasmine froze and asked in disbelief,

"Jin are you talking to me in a soft voice? But how is this possible...you always remained cold..."

Towards the end, Jasmine’s voice turned soft.

Gu Jin paused.

She subconsciously thought that Jasmine was calling her. After all her name was indeed ’Jin’.

But now she understood that maybe...the Jin whom she is calling is not her.

So who was this Jin?

A man? Did Jasmine like him?

Maybe he rejected her?

So she became like this because of him? Or did she agree with that Jin guy to meet and before she could meet him, her Celestial Qi was disturbed...

Or was that Jin who had harmed her?

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow.

However, by now, Jasmine had already arrived in front of Gu Jin and asked with a smile,

"What is it Jin’er?"

"Sit beside me and extend your hand." Gu Jin said.

Jasmine obediently sat on the chair and extended her hand.

Gu Jin placed her hand on her wrist and started to take her pulse.

Soon her brows furrowed and the head butler had a bad feeling in his heart.

Gu Jin withdrew her hand and said softly,

"You should rest now."

"Should I..." However, before Jasmine could finish her words, she started to feel drowsy.

Gu Jin motioned to one of the maids, who hurriedly walked up to Jasmine and helped her to walk toward her room.

Once Jasmine left, the head butler instantly asked,

"How is she? Is she not healthy? But I feel as if she has improved! Is everything alright?"

Gu Jin rolled her eyes and said,

"No need to worry, she is good and healthy. And yes she has improved, but... I think I have underestimated her illness. I can now see signs of poisons that have been suppressed for a long time."

"Poison?" The head butler was stunned.

"Yes. Other than correcting her celestial qi, I will now have to detoxify her poison too and the treatment time may be extended." Gu Jin told the truth.
