Directly strangling it would harm Zhao Yuan, but this wisp of demonic energy is too cunning. Keeping it around will only cause more harm. It's better to take drastic measures and get rid of it once and for all.
The price, however, was Zhao Yuan's luck.
Xu Yi helped Zhao Yuan up and planned to take him back to his room.
The commotion behind him made Xu Yi stop in her tracks, much to the delight of the drunken Zhao Yuan.
"Yueyue".
"Teacher Gu."
Gu Yueyue looked at the two of them, pursed her lips, and then laughed in exasperation, "Xu Yi, you're quite busy, aren't you?"
"..." Xu Yi didn't need to think to know that Miss Gu was very angry.
She turned her head to look at Zhao Yuan, whom he had helped up, and suddenly felt a burning sensation in her hands.
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Zhao has had too much to drink. I'll take him home to rest."
Where's his assistant? Where's his agent? Where's the hotel staff? Do you need me to take them?
Gu Yueyue stepped forward and helped support Zhao Yuan, saying, "I'll help you. Teacher Zhao is tall and strong; you probably can't manage on your own."
Xu Yi wanted to help Zhao Yuan away. She was more than capable of supporting Zhao Yuan herself. She didn't want Miss Gu to do it. If Zhao Yuan woke up and found out, who knew how happy he would be.
However, under Miss Gu's fury, Xu Yi dared not resist and silently followed her, helping Zhao Yuan into the room.
They escorted Zhao Yuan back to his room.
The two of them came out of his room together.
"Xiao Xu, get some rest." Gu Yueyue wanted to calm down by herself, and even though she could tell that Xu Yi wanted to go back to her room with her, she pretended not to see it and ignored him.
Until Xu Yi forcefully squeezed into her room again.
"Teacher Gu, we haven't finished pressing yet, let's continue."
"..."
Not only did I not want to continue, I also really wanted to throw this overbearing child out.
Unfortunately, Xu Yi had already entered.
He lingered in Gu Yueyue's room, reluctant to leave, trying to talk to her in various ways, and finally pulled her to continue the massage.
It was past 11 p.m. when Xu Yi saw that Gu Yueyue was getting sleepy and her mood had calmed down, so she stopped.
"Teacher Gu, I forgot to bring my room key, is that alright...?"
"Okay." Gu Yueyue, who was feeling sleepy, responded absentmindedly.
He woke up with a start after saying that.
However, Xu Yi had already thanked her sweetly and headed towards the bathroom.
"Wait, wait a minute." Gu Yueyue stood at the bathroom door. "You can call someone to come up and open the door."
"It's already past eleven o'clock, and it'll be a while before the door opens. I'm so sleepy, Teacher Gu." Xu Yi's voice was lazy. The ruthless sword cultivator, who was half a true god, used all his acting skills to lazily yawn.
Gu Yueyue looked at the incredibly fake movements and, speechless, let her into the bathroom.
"Thank you, Ms. Gu. Could you lend me a set of pajamas? Thank you!"
"..."
The hardworking and conscientious Ms. Gu took out a set of pajamas and some clean, unworn underwear from her suitcase.
"Xiao Xu, I've brought your clothes. Please take them."
The bathroom door opened a crack, and a hand, still damp with pink moisture, emerged from it. The skin was fair and smooth. Gu Yueyue glanced at it a few more times before handing the clean clothes to the hand with its long, slender fingers and distinct knuckles.
"Xiao Xu, can you give me your dirty clothes?" Gu Yueyue was used to dealing with dirty clothes after taking a shower, but she didn't know why she said this to Xu Yi today. Perhaps the indescribable atmosphere of the night had made her brain freeze.
The dirty clothes were handed out.
Gu Yueyue took it, and a small trinket fell out of the pocket of her clothes.
Gu Yueyue squatted down and picked it up. It was a bracelet that looked somewhat familiar.
"Xiao Xu, did you make this bracelet?" Gu Yueyue remembered that Xu Yi had a hobby of making handicrafts, after all, she was wearing the necklace that Xu Yi had given her.
The craftsmanship is inconsistent; the bracelet is very poorly made.
A voice came from the bathroom, saying things Gu Yueyue didn't want to hear.
"Oh? It's a souvenir I bought at the last scenic spot, which I planned to give to Teacher Zhao."
A note from the author:
I was careless; I didn't expect this chapter wouldn't be able to complete the entire plot.
But I put it on today! Ah, I'm so satisfied!
Thank you to all the little angels who voted for me or watered my plants with nutrient solution between 2022-02-21 22:36:58 and 2022-02-22 22:43:17!
Thank you to the little angel who threw the landmine: Ibuprofen1;

Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 90
A murderous aura surged out from outside the bathroom.
Xu Yi, who was wiping the water droplets off her body, was stunned for a moment.
Before she could react, the bathroom door was kicked open.
"Teacher Gu, you—"
Xu Yi pulled a bath towel over herself.
Xu Yi sensed a secret expectation in her heart when Miss Gu suddenly barged in, but that expectation was overshadowed by great doubt.
Why is Miss Gu in such a precarious stance, ready to draw her sword and vanquish the demon?
Gu Yueyue held the bracelet in her palm. It was a rough work of art, its surface not even properly polished, and it hurt as it rubbed against her hand.
"Didn't you say I was your fiancée? What kind of woman are you, always clinging to other men?"
"I……"
"What? You like him a lot? Then why did you bother me?"
"No, I didn't..." Xu Yi was both amused and exasperated, as if she understood why Miss Gu was angry.
She was annoyed that she had realized this so late, yet delighted that Miss Gu would still treat her so rudely even after she was angry.
"What is it?" Gu Yueyue interrupted her. People in a fit of rage cannot listen to explanations and are afraid to hear explanations they do not want to hear.
Xu Yi parted her red lips slightly, the words of explanation lingering on her lips, but she hesitated to speak them.
Ten thousand years ago, how did Miss Gu comfort herself in this situation?
Xu Yi thought about it for a moment.
oh.
That woman didn't need any coaxing; she just went straight to doing it.
Gu Yueyue's eyes reddened, and tears fell drop by drop. Facing Xu Yi, she wanted an answer, yet she was afraid of getting one. She didn't even dare to turn her head to look at herself in the mirror; she must look extremely pathetic.
"ah--"
Until Gu Yueyue was suddenly pulled into the arms of the person in front of her.
"You! Ugh—"
Find the familiar warmth and softness between your lips and teeth.
Probing from shallow to deep, entangled in a way that is both profound and subtle, plundering with neither too much nor too little force, and gently comforting after unrestrained indulgence.
"Teacher Gu, can you let me explain now?"
After the kiss ended, Xu Yi didn't rush to leave. He gently pressed his lips to her soft lips and whispered a question.
It was as if she would continue kissing him as long as he didn't say what she wanted to hear.
Gu Yueyue struggled to push him away.
The bath towel between the two unfortunately slipped down.
Gu Yueyue awkwardly put her hands behind her back, turned her head to avoid Xu Yi's teasing gaze, her burning face clearly showing her unwillingness to face the situation.
"Teacher Gu? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Let me go first."
Gu Yueyue dared not move, afraid of touching something she shouldn't have.
Xu Yi released her hands that were holding her captive.
Gu Yueyue was freed and escaped like a fish out of water.
The bathroom door was closed.
Left in the bathroom, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile as she bent down to pick up the fallen towel.
I put on the pajamas that Teacher Gu gave me, and they fit me quite well.
Gu Yueyue sat on the bed, blushing as she sent dozens of messages to Yin Yu.
Yin Yu was forced to receive harassing phone calls from her friend in the early hours of the morning.
"What's going on? You two have made your relationship public?" Yin Yu only just learned Xu Yi's true identity. After hearing Gu Yueyue finish explaining what had happened, she felt a mix of joy and worry, unsure whether to be happy for her friend or concerned for her.
After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't know whether she should tell Gu Yueyue about Xu Yi's identity.
"Um, has Xu Yi told you about her background?" Yin Yu asked tactfully.
Gu Yueyue was slightly taken aback, not expecting her to bring this up.
"No, but we all know her file, don't we?" Gu Yueyue felt a sharp pain in her heart as she thought of the family member information that Xu Yi submitted when she signed the contract.
