I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

"what-"

Gu Xi suddenly sat up and opened his eyes. His face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead to his cheeks, and he was gasping for breath.

Yuan Chu raised his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows lightly.

Isn't the heroine's room next door? What happened to her?

Although she had set up restrictions in her room and would be able to sense any unusual movements in the room, there was no guarantee that something unexpected would happen. Yuanchu was a little worried, so he put the book into his storage ring and immediately got up and went to the next room.

Hey, the lights in the room have been turned off. Looking inside, it's pitch black and I can't see anything clearly.

Hesitated again, "Knock-knock"

"Xiao Xi, are you asleep? I am the Master."

Just as Yuanchu was about to go in and check it out himself.

The door suddenly opened from the inside, and a figure slammed into his arms. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and took a step back unconsciously.

After seeing clearly that the person in his arms was Gu Xi, he hurriedly stood firm and steadied his body.

Then he vaguely heard Gu Xi sobbing in his arms. Yuan Chu didn't know what exactly happened. He could only protect her head with one hand and gently pat her back with the other.

After a while, Gu Xi pulled out of her arms. His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, with some tears on his eyelashes. His cheeks were red from being suffocated in her arms, and his little nose was still sniffing.

Yuanchu asked gently, "What's wrong, Xiaoxi?"

Gu Xi sniffed and said intermittently, "Master... I had a nightmare. I dreamed that... my mother... she doesn't want me anymore."

Yuanchu didn't know how to comfort her. After all, she didn't know the specific experiences of the heroine when she was a child.

He just kept saying to her, "It's okay, it's okay, dreams are fake and deceptive, I am here with you."

I saw that she was only wearing a thin piece of clothing and her body was shivering slightly.

"It's cold at night, and you're still injured, so go inside quickly."

After a while, I saw that her emotions had basically stabilized.

She said softly, "Your injuries have almost healed in the past few days. If nothing unexpected happens, I will take you back to the sect in the next two days. It's getting late, go to bed."

Yuanchu tucked the quilt for her, turned around and saw Gu Xi's hands tightly grasping the corner of his clothes. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was frightened.

"Don't be afraid. I will wait until you fall asleep before I leave."

"Okay," Gu Xi said obediently, and then closed her eyes.

Maybe she was too tired from crying just now, Yuan Chu saw that her breathing became steady after a while.

It was already very late at night, and Yuanchu himself was feeling sleepy.

She took out the sandalwood incense that was conducive to sleep from her ring, lit it, and then left Gu Xi's room quietly.

Listening to the subtle sound of the door closing outside the house, Gu Xi slowly opened his eyes in the darkness and stared at the jar of incense that had just been lit.

I heard that those who practice Taoism are very strict in choosing disciples. Not only does they have to consider rapport, but cultivating one's physique is especially important. However, she didn't seem to have any such requirements for herself.

How could a person like me, with such mediocre talents and living in a quagmire, deserve the favor of such an extraordinary fairy like her?

How sincere is she to me? Should I believe her?

I don’t know whether it is right or wrong for me to embark on this path of cultivating immortals. Well, I’m used to living a humble life, so how bad can it be?

The next morning

In the room at the beginning of Yuan Dynasty

“Braised prawns, chicken slices in lotus sauce, braised pork, spicy rabbit head, stewed goose…hahahahahahahaha, they are all mine, don’t even think about snatching them away.”

She woke up from a sweet dream, opened her eyes drowsily, and thought about the sweet dream she had just had. She touched the corner of her mouth guiltily.

Then he heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't drool."

She walked to the window and opened it. The sunlight shone on her face, giving her a warm feeling.

The weather today is pretty good, very suitable for going out for a walk.

I also remembered that Gu Xi was frightened by a nightmare last night.

Yuanchu sighed inwardly: "It seems that before he was possessed by the devil, Gu Xi was just a child who wanted to be hugged and comforted after having a nightmare, no different from other people."

It seems that as long as we teach her carefully, care for her and love her, and prevent her from turning evil, saving the world will be easy. We have to go and see how she is first.

"Knock knock, Xiaoxi, are you awake?"

At this time, Gu Xi was standing by the window, watching the bustling crowd on the street.

The wind gently blew across her cheek. There was no expression on her face, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After hearing Yuanchu knocking on the door, he slowly walked over and opened the door for her.

Neither of them took the initiative to mention what happened last night.

"Xiao Xi, the weather is very good today. Let me take you for a walk on the street."

"Okay, Master."

As soon as you leave the inn.

The clouds are floating and the azure sky is gradually deepening, as if it were splashed with a thick stroke of whale-blue ink.

Although this is just a small town, it has a complete range of shops, including rouge and powder shops, embroidery workshops, teahouses, restaurants, etc. It can be said that it is small but has everything.

The market here is also very lively, with shouting, singing, cheering, the sound of iron knocking, and the sound of dough being pounded in the Hu pancake shops.

The place was noisy, bustling with people, and full of people, with young men and women passing by each other.

"Selling candied haws, selling candied haws, big, crispy and sweet," the vendor shouted while holding up a straw rack with candied haws on it.

He saw a girl in white strolling on the street with a young girl, and instantly felt that a business opportunity had arisen.

He ran to them holding a candied haws stand and said, "Girls, look at my candied haws. Each one is plump and translucent. Children love them. Buy a bunch for your little sister."

"It looks pretty good. I think kids would like this kind of sour and sweet food," Yuan Chu thought silently in his heart, even though he didn't feel anything for it.

"How much is one string?"

"Two articles and one string"

Looking at the candied haws on the straw rack, Yuanchu pointed to the one on top.

"This one, then."

"Okay, take it," the vendor immediately took a candied haws from the shelf and gave it to Yuanchu.

"Hey, I bought you some candied haws."

"Thank you, Master," Gu Xi smiled sweetly in response.

In a place that Yuan Chu couldn't notice, a sinister look flashed across Gu Xi's eyes for a moment.

"Did you buy me the candied haws?"

Gu Xi hated eating candy since she was a child. No matter how sweet it tasted in her mouth, it would be painful for her to think about the taste later.

"You bastard, it's all... it's all because of you that your father would... cough cough..."

—“Snap”

"Xiao Xi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have hit you. Look, there's a candy here. I bought it especially for you. Can you forgive me this time?"

Gu Xi seemed to have long been accustomed to this endless insult and beating, and then was given a candy as compensation.

I just held the candy in my hand silently without saying a word.

Seeing Gu Xi holding the candied haws and standing there motionless, Yuan Chu frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Gu Xi came back to her senses and took a light bite. Along with the sour taste of hawthorn, the greasy sweetness melted in her mouth...it seemed that this candied haws was different from the ones she had eaten before.

Yuanchu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "There are many people here, don't get squeezed out, come, let the master hold your hand."

Then he stretched out his hand and opened his palm towards her.

Gu Xi hesitated for a moment and placed his hand on Yuan Chu's palm.

Yuan Chu held her hand and walked in front of her. Gu Xi glanced at her secretly. The hands of the person in front of her were thin and delicate, very warm, and constantly transmitting warmth to her.
