Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 499 Actually... I'm a ghost...

"I'm scared, so scared. I'm afraid you'll just disappear like before, vanish completely. What's going on? What if—"

After a pause, Mu Yun Chu raised her hand to touch her face, staring into her eyes, "What would I do if you suddenly disappeared from this world?"

After saying that, he tightened his grip on Gu Qingyue, so much so that she could barely breathe. It was as if only in this way could he be sure that Gu Qingyue was still safe and sound by his side.

The next instant, Mu Yun Chu's cool lips covered hers. The transition from gentle to passionate was only a few breaths long, but it made Gu Qing Yue almost lose her balance and start to feel dizzy.

"Mu Yun Chu!"

Gu Qingyue couldn't breathe and was about to faint. She struggled to raise her hand and push away the person in front of her. Then, she gasped for breath and felt herself gradually waking up. Only then did she look up at Mu Yun Chu.

This guy is so strong I almost couldn't handle him! He nearly broke her slender waist.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yun Chu staggered, lost his balance, and raised his hand to his chest, looking as if he was about to fall at any moment.

Gu Qingyue sighed, realizing she had forgotten he was poisoned and had even vomited blood after playing a prank on him. Uh----- she had probably gone too far!

Before Gu Qingyue could speak, Mu Yunchu rushed over and hugged her tightly again, "Ayue, don't go..." His tone was one of vulnerability and fear that Gu Qingyue had never seen before.

"If you dare to leave, I will..."

"What will you do?" Gu Qingyue asked, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Mu Yun Chu.

"I'll search high and low, until I find you!"

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched. Did this guy think he was a monster?

Oh, that's too late!

Gu Qingyue patted Mu Yun Chu's back, signaling her to let go of her, "Let go first, and I'll tell you."

A moment later, Mu Yun Chu reluctantly let go of Gu Qing Yue, but still held her waist, his eyes fixed on Gu Qing Yue's small face, as if afraid that if he let go, she would disappear in the next instant.

"Actually... I'm a ghost..." Gu Qingyue began, but as soon as she spoke, she couldn't help but lower her head and laugh.

Mu Yun Chu was speechless, but seeing that the girl in front of him was still the same enthusiastic, bright, free-spirited, and cunning woman, he felt a little relieved.

After Gu Qingyue told Mu Yun Chu about her soul's transmigration, Mu Yun Chu stood there stunned for a long time.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Mu Yun Chu finally came to her senses.

It was completely different from what Gu Qingyue had imagined—that it would scare him.

For example, even if he doesn't run away, he'll probably keep his distance from me.

But unexpectedly, he hugged Gu Qingyue tightly, his eyes suddenly overflowing with joy.

"So, A-Yue traveled from another world a thousand years ago to find me? You were sent by a deity?"

Gu Qingyue: ...You're overthinking it, but it doesn't seem wrong!

Gu Qingyue patted his back, "I don't know why I came here, but..."

Mu Yun Chu looked up, her eyes even brighter than before. "What does A Yue want to say? Does she still want to say you're a ghost?"

Gu Qingyue: ...I am a demon, thank you!

"Come on, I'll take you to see the outside."

Gu Qingyue pulled Mu Yunchu out of the house, and what Mu Yunchu saw was a scene she would never forget in her entire life.

In the distance, he immediately spotted the immortal tree they had bought together, lush and green, with immortal fruits hanging from it.

Under the tree, there was a circle of pink flowers, crowded together, creating a lively scene.

Beside them is a clear stream, and you can hear the babbling of the water from here.

Further away, the twilight deepened, obscuring the view.

Looking around, he saw medicinal herbs, fruit trees, and flowers everywhere, the air filled with the rich fragrance of fruit and the delicate scent of blossoms. There, too, was the Forget-Me-Not he had seen before, in full bloom…

Mu Yun Chu was filled with a thousand exclamations and shocks. This place was like a secluded, mysterious green world, no, it was a paradise on earth!

Turning around again, a uniquely designed three-story building came into view. The front door was made of openwork metal, revealing pink and white roses swaying in the breeze along the courtyard wall…

Mu Yun Chu couldn't find the right words to describe it all.

He had traveled across great rivers and climbed countless mountains and peaks, but he had never seen anything so mysterious that could bring a sense of peace and tranquility amidst the fragrance of flowers and fruits.

"Where...is this?"

Gu Qingyue sighed, realizing she had only mentioned coming from another world and hadn't yet properly introduced her most mysterious and unpredictable space!

So, Gu Qingyue walked around Mu Yun Chu twice with her hands behind her back, chin held high, exuding a slight air of smugness, and slowly introduced her space.

Mu Yun Chu: ...He had thought of magical things, but he never imagined there was such a magical place!

Portable space?

Does such a thing still exist in the world?

Gu Qingyue looked at Mu Yun Chu's slightly stunned eyes, observing her carefully.

Human nature is inherently greedy and cannot withstand tests; she didn't want to test anyone.

But she didn't want to hide anything from Mu Yun Chu, since they would be living together eventually, and there was a high chance that something would be discovered.

Therefore, she understood and accepted it—if he coveted her as a person, that was fine; but if he coveted her personal space…

It's not impossible to find someone else!

"So, this is A-Yue's most secret place where she can hide things?"

"Ok".

"So, when there's danger, A-Yue can also hide here?"

"Yes, this is my last resort to save my life."

Seeing Mu Yun Chu breathe a sigh of relief and look very satisfied, Gu Qing Yue raised an eyebrow.

"Can I put my most important things here too? Can Yue keep them for me?"

"Okay, you trust me?"

"Of course, I only believe in A-Yue."

"Uh------ This place is only for me to come and go as I please. Aren't you afraid I'll take your things and run away? You won't be able to get them yourself."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu's smile was like a gentle breeze in early spring, relaxed and tender. He reached out and wrapped his arms tightly around Gu Qing Yue's waist, their bodies pressed together, and he felt incredibly at ease. "Then I'll give them all to A Yue."

"..."

Okay, Mu Yun Chu really loves herself, there's no doubt about it.

Suddenly, Mu Yun Chu's expression changed. "We've been here for so long, could something have happened outside?"

Seeing that Mu Yun Chu was anxious, Gu Qing Yue waved her hand, "It's alright, the time is different here, it's only about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea outside."

Another devastating blow!

However, Mu Yun Chu had already calmed down.

"That's good!"

Only after saying that did he relax a little.

“Let’s go see Father,” Gu Qingyue said, pulling his hand as the two went back into the house.

After walking past a row of antique display shelves, Gu Qingyue came to the bedside and this time, she carefully examined Gu Changling.

To summarize the accounts of the young herbalist from Wanhua Valley and Doctor Qin, Gu Changling was infected with the Crimson Blood Gu and subjected to some mysterious curse.
