The Cursed Emissary's Resurrection Chapter 2

The next day.

The morning light was dim and it was still early, so Asher Gu got up.

The habits he developed over the years have made his daily routine very regular, and no matter how tired he is, he will not stay in bed.

Standing up and putting on his trousers, Asher Gu opened the curtains. The slightly dazzling morning light fell on his lean and strong upper body. He sat cross-legged on the carpet and began to meditate.

Until there was a knock on the door: "Is the young master up?"

Asher Gu opened his eyes, put on his shirt and opened the door.

Two teenage maids stood outside the door, carrying hot water and toiletries. One of them looked up, with a pretty face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be able to speak. She looked at Asher Gu with a gentle smile and said, "Han Cui greets the young master. Did the young master sleep well last night?"

Asher Gu glanced at her calmly, turned around and went into the house: "Put your things down and go down."

Being stared at by those dark eyes, Hancui's smile froze instantly, and the wooden tray in her hand could hardly be held steady. She felt a chill seeping from head to toe, and even her bones seemed to be frozen.

Han Cui's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth unwillingly, put down her things and walked out.

Asher Gu washed up, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.

He was going to visit the Rong family today, so he specially chose a formal suit. The slightly off-white suit was well-cut, and the lines wrapped the thin waist and slender legs in a proper proportion. The cuffs were unbuttoned, sliding down slightly, revealing a clean and beautiful wrist bone, elegant and powerful.

Selina Xue looked at her outstanding son, and the depression that she had suppressed all night surged up in her heart again.

"Han'er, did you sleep well?" Selina Xue stood up to serve porridge to Asher Gu, forcing a smile, "You don't have a maid to serve you, which is inconvenient. Mother sees that Hancui has a good temper, so why not..."

This is taking a roundabout route.

But Asher Gu knew clearly that his marriage with Chase Rong was not a question of whether he liked men or women.

So he didn't want to give Selina Xue any hope, so he said: "Mother, I practice the Lock Yang Technique, which doesn't work on women or men. If you really want to crack it, only Chase Rong can do it."

Selina Xue choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Regardless of whether this was true or not, since Asher Gu had said it, Selina Xue could not force him to do anything. She felt that she owed her son a lot, and she was gentle by nature, so she could not do anything forceful.

Selina Xue stirred the porridge absentmindedly and said, "So today... when you go to Rong's house, do you want mother to accompany you?"

Asher Gu frowned slightly, took out two copper coins from his pocket, threw them on the table, looked at them, relaxed his brows, shook his head and said, "No need, mother. The head of the Rong family and Mrs. Rong are not here today. I just went to see Young Master Rong. Once the matter is settled, the Rong family will send someone to propose marriage."

Hearing the word "propose marriage", Selina Xue's face turned a little ugly. Seeing Asher Gu's actions, she changed the subject and said, "Han'er, did you... figure this out through divination? Can you figure out something like this?"

Five years ago, Asher Gu also knew some simple spells and divination, so Selina Xue was not that surprised. However, it was still a little hard for Selina Xue to believe that the boy who could only predict good and bad fortune back then could now calculate such specific things.

Asher Gu: "Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't."

Selina Xue nodded and said, "Han'er, you may have figured out how your father and his family are doing now. Logically, they should have arrived in Beijing last night, but there was no telegram. I feel a little uneasy."

Asher Gu said: "I can't count those who are related to me by blood."

"I see," Selina Xue nodded. She wasn't disappointed. She was just a little worried and wanted to feel at ease. "Han'er, eat more. Do you want to come back for lunch?"

"No, I just want to take a walk."

After a few words, the atmosphere eased again.

After the mother and son finished their meal, Asher Gu went out. As usual, Finnegan Gu drove and went straight to Rong's house.

It’s early autumn in Haicheng and the hot tides are still there.

The clarity after the rain still lingered, with thick, green leaves of the sycamore trees covering the roadside. Bright sunlight slanted down, illuminating the silhouettes of cars approaching from the end of the street.

Asher Gu asked Finnegan Gu to wait outside, he got out of the car and came to the gate of Rong Mansion.

Compared to the elegant and simple Gu Mansion, the Rong Mansion was naturally much more luxurious. There were many buildings, and they were more imposing. Through the low wall, one could see the green vines and vines inside, and the scenery was unique.

After knocking on the door for a moment, the housekeeper of Rong Mansion appeared behind the door and welcomed Asher Gu in with a smile: "Mr. Gu, right? Are you looking for the young master?"

The Gu family's visiting card had some weight in Haicheng, enough to knock on the door of the Rong family.

Asher Gu walked in and nodded, "Is Master Rong here?"

Butler Luo smiled and said, "Yes. The master and the mistress are not at home today. If you are looking for the master, you will come to nothing. Master Gu, please follow me."

Leading Asher Gu upstairs, Butler Luo continued, "The young master has received your invitation and is waiting for you in the study. Please come in."

Arriving at a half-open carved wooden door on the second floor, Butler Luo knocked on the door: "Master, Master Gu is here."

"Well," a somewhat lazy male voice came out from inside, "Come in."

Butler Luo pushed open the door and stepped back.

Asher Gu walked into the room, and a ray of light coming through the crack in the door suddenly illuminated the entire room.

This study is very spacious, with a table and chairs inside. There is a long soft chair by the window outside, a bottle of red wine on the low table, and several glasses scattered around. One of them still has wine stains, obviously it has been used by someone.

Perhaps he was about to go out, the young man was wearing a stylish riding outfit and sitting on the armrest of the soft chair.

His collar was loose, his black hair was slightly messy, and a palm-wide leather belt showed off his narrow waist. His two long legs hung casually, one riding boot was on the footstool, and the whip in his hand tapped him from time to time, making a dull sound.

The thin light coming in from the window cast a shadow on his beautiful eyebrows. His long eyebrows were sharp, and his peach blossom eyes were half-closed. He had an arrogant and fierce appearance, and one could tell at first glance that he was not easy to approach.

He heard the noise, put down the visiting card in his hand, raised his eyebrows lazily and looked over. He looked at Asher Gu from head to toe without disguising his gaze. Finally, his eyes sparkled, he chuckled and asked with interest: "Asher Gu? You said we have an engagement, you want to marry me?"

Asher Gu took out the marriage certificate and said, "Young Master Rong, you can take a look."

Chase Rong frowned, took it and glanced at it, then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. There's no point in pushing away a beauty who's delivered to your door. As long as you're willing to marry in and call my future Concub!nes sister or younger sister, I don't mind."

Asher Gu met Chase Rong's provocative eyes, suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed a finger at Chase Rong's lower lip, and before the other party could react, he gently slid it away, like a feather, leaving a little cool temperature, and then retracted it.

A tiny bit of blood condensed on the fingertip. Asher Gu sniffed the finger and said indifferently, "You haven't ejaculated yet, and you haven't even touched a woman's hand."

"What bullSh!t!"

Chase Rong's face flashed with embarrassment and anger. His lips turned bright red from the light scratch that drew blood. He pursed his lips in an arc of displeasure and sneered, "Asher Gu, don't think I won't hit you just because you're pretty..."

Asher Gu licked the blood spot and interrupted him: "The taste is right."

Chase Rong watched Asher Gu's movements, and in a trance he had the illusion that the tip of the tongue was licking his lips, which made him feel angry for no reason, and he raised the whip in his hand to hit him.

Asher Gu reacted very quickly. He grabbed Chase Rong's wrist, leaned over slightly, and pressed him half against the back of the chair.

During the action, a very light and charming fragrance came out from Chase Rong's collar. Asher Gu's eyes narrowed slightly, he pulled open Chase Rong's collar, buried his head in his neck and took a deep sniff, and whispered: "So S3xy."

Chase Rong froze up and couldn't pretend anymore. He raised his knee and hit him: "Get lost! I'll kill you, believe it or not!"

Asher Gu took the initiative to attack, suppressing Chase Rong's resistance, and frowned, "Stop it. Where did you go yesterday? You have a strong vixen smell on you, and you have lost your yang energy, which is not good for your constitution."

"Where I've been is none of your business! Let go!"

The warm breath with a unique cold fragrance caressed his ears, and Chase Rong felt like half of his body was about to explode. He was quite strong and had fought several battles, but he was suppressed so easily by someone. This feeling was really frustrating and embarrassing.

"good."

Asher Gu looked at Chase Rong for a moment and agreed.

Chase Rong was a little surprised. The moment Asher Gu let go, he was about to punch him, but he saw Asher Gu took out a yellow talisman from somewhere and slapped it on Chase Rong's face before Chase Rong's fist touched his nose.

His limbs suddenly lost strength and he collapsed limply.

Asher Gu was well prepared. He took Chase Rong's waist and put him on the soft chair. Facing Chase Rong's eyes that seemed to want to bite him to death, he said calmly, "If Rong can't sit still, you can lean on me."

Chase Rong's chest was heaving violently, and he wanted to spit blood all over Asher Gu's face. But a yellow talisman drained his strength. This strange thing made him believe in the weirdness of the young master Gu in front of him.

Looking at Asher Gu with doubtful eyes, Chase Rong took two breaths and said coldly: "I was injured and have been recuperating at home these days. I haven't left the house."

Asher Gu looked at Chase Rong for a moment, took down the yellow talisman, and twisted it lightly between his fingers.

The yellow talisman suddenly exploded into ashes and vaguely covered Asher Gu's palm.

Chase Rong's eyes focused, and he saw Asher Gu picked up one of his hands, put his palms together, interlocked his fingers, and shook it.

Another temperature penetrated and entangled his fingers. The pair of dark and deep eyes looked at him intently. Chase Rong felt a buzzing in his head, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. His sight unconsciously moved to Asher Gu's pale lips. His throat was slightly dry, and he had a strong desire to lick them.

"alright."

Asher Gu pulled his hand back, stood up and said, "Your strength will be restored in half a minute. If you have no objection to the marriage, please discuss it with the head of the Rong family and his wife. The eighth day of next month is an auspicious day... Young Master Rong? Your face is a little red..."

"Get out!" Chase Rong felt chest tightness and shortness of breath for a moment, thinking that it was really shameful for him to have such a lustful heart.

Chase Rong gnashed his teeth again and again, calmed down, stared at Asher Gu's profile, curved his eyebrows and smiled, "Well... On the eighth day of next month, Young Master Gu will prepare the wedding dress, and wait for me to come and ask for your hand in marriage."

Asher Gu got the answer he wanted. His expression remained unchanged. He nodded slightly and walked away gracefully.

After leaving Rong's house, no one caught up with him.

Young Master Rong was very measured in his arrogance and temper. Of course, perhaps he was waiting to be rewarded in the future.

Walking leisurely, Asher Gu slowly raised the finger that had stroked Chase Rong's lower lip and sniffed it in front of his nose for a while.

As if he was admiring a stunningly beautiful flower, he lowered his eyes, and his usually cold expression gradually peeled off, revealing a gentle joy.
