Chapter 1724 — Xiaoshu Is Sick (Part One)
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At the Gu family villa, Shen Yushu was vividly recounting the events of the family conference to Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi...
"That old thief Yushui Xing thought that just because he'd taken a pill and become an early Earth-rank expert, he could go on a killing spree! And at that moment the whole hall really was filled with tension — every family that had shown any closeness to Brother Arrow Brand was in fear for themselves, and my grandfather, Grandpa Wu, Grandpa Song and the others were all very worried!" Shen Yushu described the scene with great relish, and Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi listened with their hearts in their throats.
"Then, at that very moment, Brother Arrow Brand appeared, and in an instant his Earth-rank strength was revealed, giving that old thief Yushui Xing such a fright that he jumped! Everyone present was stunned — so Brother Arrow Brand was an Earth-rank expert too..." Shen Yushu told it in such detail that Tang Zhi and Gu Mengyao felt as if it were happening right before their eyes... At this point she took a sip of ice water and said, "It's so hot — why is it so hot... Is the air conditioning on?"
"It's on..." Gu Mengyao said with a bitter face. "Yunyun and I are freezing to death, and you're still hot? If you didn't make so many exaggerated moves and gestures while telling the story, you wouldn't be hot!"
"Uh... really?" Shen Yushu stuck out her tongue and said with a giggle, "But then it wouldn't be exciting... Let's continue... Just now I said Brother Arrow Brand appeared, and that old thief Yushui Xing didn't dare fight him head-on, so he tried to attack my brother! He was just about to hit my brother, and Brother Arrow Brand had no time to stop him — then Brother Arrow Brand, quick-witted in the crisis, shouted: Earth-rank martial technique — Raging Fire Fist! And that old thief Yushui Xing got such a fright that he hurried to dodge! But after waiting and waiting, no martial technique appeared, and only then did he realize he'd been tricked — Brother Arrow Brand hadn't used any martial technique at all, he'd just been fooling him..."
"Haha!" Gu Mengyao and Tang Zhi were amused too. They hadn't expected Wei Zhao to have his moments of trickery and cheating — it felt so much like Xiaoshu's style, didn't it?
"Then that old thief Yushui Xing flew into a rage out of humiliation and said Brother Arrow Brand had played him... Huh? I'm still so hot... I'm not even moving anymore, so why am I still this hot?" Shen Yushu said, taking another sip of ice water.
"A quiet mind brings its own coolness — you're just too excited and worked up, aren't you?" Tang Zhi said. "How about I go get some ice cream?"
"Yes please!" Shen Yushu said. "I want the extra-big kind... But I'm still so hot right now. This pajama is too hot — I'll just take it off!"
As she spoke, Shen Yushu pulled off her pajamas, leaving only a small bra on her body...
"Xiaoshu, if you're like this, what'll happen when Wei Zhao comes back later?" Gu Mengyao frowned.
"It's fine — I'll put it back on later. And it doesn't matter if he sees me anyway; he's seen me plenty of times already!" Shen Yushu said indifferently.
Gu Mengyao said nothing more. That was just how Shen Yushu was — she'd often get inexplicably hot, and at home she hardly wore any clothes at all.
