The Cursed Emissary's Resurrection Chapter 3

"Hey, are you going to see your wife?"

In the bedroom, Asher Gu had just taken off his suit jacket and loosened his collar slightly when he heard a sharp and old voice coming from the wooden box on the table, saying, "Look at this little look, you are really in love. This is the first time you've seen each other, are you in love at first sight? Hey, let me ask you, you taciturn guy, why don't you say anything?"

"Do you like the silencing spell very much?" Asher Gu took a look at the wooden box.

In order to be in a good mood today, Asher Gu banned the restless urn last night, but the power of the ashes was too strong and could only be suppressed for one night.

"You can't convince me, so you try to force me to surrender... Well," the voice coughed dryly, "let's get down to business. When are you going to take me out?"

Asher Gu sat on the chair, raised his hand to open the wooden box, and took out the only urn that was emitting a little black air.

The nine urns in the box look basically the same, all of which are yellowish white ceramic boxes, with only slightly different inscriptions engraved on the lids.

I couldn’t see it clearly last night, but it’s still daytime now and I can see clearly that the nine Taoist mantras are engraved on the lids of the nine urns, and all the soldiers and fighters are marching forward in formation.

"tomorrow."

Asher Gu took out a piece of talisman paper, pressed the tip of his index finger with his thumb, squeezed out a trace of blood, and drew a talisman on the blank talisman paper.

He pasted the blood talisman onto the "Lin" character printed on the lid of the urn. The black gas coming out of the box dissipated, and the box itself suddenly shrank several times to the size of a snuff bottle.

"Oh, the taste of this blood... Among all the people I've drunk with, yours tastes the best. But it really hurts when your blood falls on my body, hiss..." Lin Zi Urn took a breath, muttered a few words, and then said, "Boy, how is your wife? Tell me, and I'll give you some advice. I can see that you can't coax your wife. You'll have to kneel on the washboard in the future..."

Asher Gu sealed the wooden box containing the remaining urns again, locked the drawer and put a talisman on it. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "He is very cute."

Lin Zi's voice suddenly stopped, and then turned into a weird laugh: "Hahaha kid, you haven't closed your yin and yang pupils yet, is it because the yin energy is too strong and it has a big impact on your eyes? Isn't your wife a grown man who rides a horse and shoots a gun? Do you think she is a little girl?"

Asher Gu ignored him, blocked his ears, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Practicing Taoism is not a very interesting thing. It is just boring repetition and accumulation day after day.

Asher Gu was born with yin and yang pupils, which showed his extraordinary talent. However, this also resulted in him having poor health in his childhood, often encountering ghosts and possessed by evil spirits. Too much yin and cold energy accumulated in his body, which hindered his spiritual practice.

So whenever he has free time, Asher Gu would meditate and practice to dissolve this negative energy.

In addition to this slow and steady approach, there is also a more immediate way, which is to transfer this negative energy to someone else to bear it on his behalf.

But not everyone can withstand this Yin Qi. Most people would probably die after only a tiny bit of it. Moreover, Asher Gu had long been accustomed to this kind of gnawing pain and had no intention of harming others.

Went downstairs for dinner midway.

Selina Xue had received the news from the Rong family, and her face was full of mixed feelings. She said to Asher Gu, "The Rong family sent someone to deliver a letter today. Five days later, Madam Rong and Young Master Rong will come to propose marriage in person."

Asher Gu was not surprised, "Mr. Rong and Mrs. Rong should know about the engagement."

The divination he read before going out in the morning showed that Rong Peijing and Madam Rong were deliberately avoiding his visit to the Rong Mansion. For this engagement, he only needed Chase Rong to nod his head.

In this way, it can be roughly inferred that Chase Rong was the only one in the entire Rong family who was kept in the dark. For some reason, Rong Peijing and Madam Rong could not speak to Chase Rong, so they asked Asher Gu to go and make it clear in person.

In fact, Asher Gu didn't care what the Rong family master and Mrs. Rong meant. He always followed his heart and acted according to his heart, regardless of gains and losses.

Recalling Chase Rong's angry eyes, as bright and gorgeous as a red peach blossoming by the water, Asher Gu felt that he was very happy with what happened today.

Selina Xue said, "Your father has arrived in Beijing and is staying at your aunt's house. It's a little late today. I will send him a telegram tomorrow to tell him about this matter. After all... you are the eldest son of the Gu family."

Things have come to this point, there is no point in saying more, Selina Xue can only accept it.

I just hope that Leonard Gu won't kick his son out of the house again in a fit of anger.

Everyone has his own thoughts.

No words were spoken that night.

The next day the sky was slightly cloudy and the sunlight was weak.

As soon as Asher Gu stepped out of the gate of Gu Mansion, he unexpectedly met a pair of lazy, half-open eyes.

His eyebrows moved slightly, slightly surprised. He thought that according to Master Rong's temper, the next time they met, it would be the day of marriage proposal. But he didn't expect that they would meet again.

Chase Rong was sitting in the car, taking apart a gun out of boredom.

He was taught a lesson by Asher Gu yesterday morning and wanted to take revenge in the afternoon, but he was held at home by Rong Peijing and Madam Rong who rushed back after hearing the news.

He was the only one who was confused about the engagement.

According to the bandit's biological father's explanation, the master of Mr. Gu was a capable master.

Rong Peijing was still childless when he was in his thirties. He had Concub!nes one after another but nothing happened. He tried all kinds of methods but nothing worked. Some people said that he was destined to have no children. Then one day, Rong Peijing met an old Taoist priest who said he could give him a son, born at noon, weighing six pounds and three ounces, and that he would be rich for the rest of his life. But in return, he had to make a marriage contract and marry his apprentice within 23 years.

Rong Peijing was already disheartened at that time, so he agreed to the deal as a last resort.

As a result, a year later, Mrs. Rong really became pregnant.

Chase Rong was born at noon one day more than nine months later, weighing exactly six pounds and three ounces.

Therefore, Rong Peijing and Madam Rong had no choice but to believe this. Later, they asked people to find out about Asher Gu. There were not many people with the same name, so they quickly decided that it was Young Master Gu.

The strangeness of Young Master Gu's youth made Rong Peijing feel surprised and unable to regret it. But later, Asher Gu left, and as time went by, no one mentioned it, so the head of the Rong family forgot about it.

So when the news of Asher Gu's return to China reached his desk, Rong Peijing was at a loss.

As the engagement date approaches, Rong Peijing guesses that Asher Gu will come to visit.

However, the head of the Rong family could not bring himself to marry his son off, so he decided to run away and slipped away with Mrs. Rong.

After Asher Gu exposed the truth and attracted enough criticism, Rong Peijing and his wife returned to the Rong family and comforted their son after the fact.

Chase Rong also thought about canceling the engagement, but every time he wanted to speak, he always felt a cold fragrance surrounding him. That cold and elegant face was imprinted in his mind and could not be erased.

With a gloomy look on his face, Rong Peijing extorted several good guns. Master Rong tossed and turned all night and drove to the front of Gu Mansion before dawn.

After fixing his eyes on Asher Gu for a moment, Chase Rong retracted his gaze and said, "Get in the car."

Asher Gu walked closer and opened the door on Chase Rong's side. Under Chase Rong's surprised eyes, he said calmly: "Take a nap, I'll drive."

Chase Rong smiled, glanced at Asher Gu, got out of the car, and pointed at his chest with the reassembled gun in his hand. It was full of threat, but the words he said were extremely casual: "Let's go eat first."

The car started.

The golden light of the morning sun shone through the car windows on all sides, illuminating Chase Rong's slightly sleepy face.

He was not asleep, but just half-closed his eyes, leaned his arm on the edge of the car window, supported his chin with his hand, and looked at the scenery outside the window absentmindedly.

Asher Gu recalled the doubts he had when he left the house, and asked, "Why is Young Master Rong here today?"

Chase Rong's face froze. He didn't expect Asher Gu to ask this. He couldn't say that he couldn't sleep at night, and you were the little beauty that he saw with his eyes open or closed, so he came to see you to satisfy his craving?

So Master Rong decided to throw the blame on Mrs. Rong: "I heard that you just returned to China? Mother asked me to accompany you to visit Haicheng."

Asher Gu said calmly: "Don't you miss me?"

Master Rong's face was visibly covered with a layer of red rouge.

Asher Gu glanced at his red ears and felt inexplicably happy.

Ever since he witnessed Young Master Rong's changed expression and anger yesterday, he felt like he had discovered a new magic. He couldn't help but want to try it a few more times to see this man embarrassed and angry, and stretch out his claws to scratch him.

"This is normal,"

Asher Gu explained, "The talisman ash from yesterday was stained with my aura. In order to erase the fox demon's mark, I introduced it into your body. Naturally, some aura remains, and you will be affected to some extent."

Chase Rong's complexion improved a little. He glanced at Asher Gu and asked, "Do I really smell like a vixen?"

"Yes, but not serious." Asher Gu said, "You should have had some contact with it, but you haven't had any close contact with it."

Chase Rong was silent for a moment, then said, "After dinner, let's go to Jinyuxuan by the moat. I haven't come into contact with any outsiders these days, and I only accompanied my mother to buy jade once. If there really are any monsters, I'm afraid my mother will be involved. If you are free today, accompany me back to the Rong family. They... well, want to see you."

Having crawled out of a bandit's den, his ability to tell lies with open eyes seemed to be discounted in front of Young Master Gu, and Chase Rong lowered his eyes as if to conceal his mistake.

"Okay." Asher Gu didn't hear anything wrong, so he responded and stopped the car.

The place that Asher Gu chose to eat was the famous Defuju in Haicheng, where the crab meat dumplings were a specialty.

There weren't many people in the morning, so the two of them entered the restaurant. Asher Gu glanced at the menu and only ordered two trays of steamed dumplings and a bowl of hot soy milk.

Chase Rong was a little surprised: "You also like Defuju's dumplings? Two trays are too little, not enough for you and me, order some more."

"No need," Asher Gu said as he poured tea, "I've already eaten."

Chase Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You know I love to eat?"

"Well," Asher Gu said calmly, "you smelled like steamed dumplings yesterday."

Chase Rong's peach blossom eyes curved, and he couldn't help but smile: "You were born in the Year of the Dog, Asher Gu. How come you can smell everything?" He leaned sideways and half leaned over, "Then smell it now, what do I smell like today?"

Asher Gu supported Chase Rong's waist and said without hesitation: "No need to smell it, it's my scent."

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. But once he said it, Chase Rong suddenly felt that the cold fragrance like ice and snow in his nostrils became even stronger, lingering around him, and it was full of obscurity, binding his whole body.

The dumplings came up, and Asher Gu poured a dish of vinegar for Chase Rong. Before the dish was even set, Chase Rong suddenly said, "After we get married, I will never take a Concub!ne."

Asher Gu paused while holding the vinegar dish.

When he looked up, Chase Rong was looking at him coldly, sneering: "I think Young Master Gu is a vixen. If you really take a Concub!ne, I'm afraid my Concub!nes won't be enough for you. I don't want the green hat on my head to be as high as the foreign bank in the concession."

Asher Gu nodded in agreement: "Mr. Rong is very far-sighted."

Chase Rong snorted coldly, finished a dish of aged vinegar and took a bite of the steamed bun.

Breakfast was over as Young Master Rong was worrying about the Green Cloud crisis.

Jinyuxuan was not far from Defuju, so Chase Rong suggested taking a walk for a meal, and the two of them walked slowly along the river.

It was already autumn, and on both sides of the moat, against the white walls and black tiles, half-dead leaves swirled onto the water's surface, drifting with the current.

The streets along the water are dotted with stalls and numerous shops, with a few windows opened above the water. Flying wine flags and oil painting billboards of fair-skinned beauties are interspersed among them, creating an unexpected atmosphere of time and space confusion.

"Have you been here before?" Chase Rong asked, tilting his head.

The two walked side by side, with similar heights. Asher Gu tilted his head slightly and could look into Chase Rong's sparkling and affectionate peach blossom eyes. He shook his head and said, "No."

Chase Rong was not surprised by this answer. He had known Asher Gu's background for a long time. Haicheng might not be as familiar to Asher Gu as the United States.

Perhaps it was because he enjoyed his breakfast so much that Young Master Rong, who had a very short memory, completely forgot about Asher Gu's provocative behavior yesterday. He enthusiastically introduced this neighborhood, the delicious food, the naughty things, and so on.

"I grew up here when I was a kid. Do you see that archway over there? When I first learned to ride a horse, I lost my balance and broke half of it. And there used to be a grain store there. The rice and flour were mixed with sand. They were so cunning that I was so angry that I gave their boss a boy's urine..."

Different from Asher Gu's constant indifference and gloom, Chase Rong was in high spirits when he spoke, with lively eyes and eyebrows. He slightly raised his chin, raised his head in an arrogant but not disgusting arc, and occasionally a cunning look flashed in his dark eyes. The corners of his lips were curved, like a lively and extremely romantic painting.

The darkness in Asher Gu's eyes slowly softened.

He looked at Chase Rong's expression and asked, "Do you like it here?"

Chase Rong smiled nonchalantly: "It's OK. There are many interesting places in Haicheng. I'll take you to other places to play someday..."

While the two were talking, they had already turned a street.

Not long after we walked, we heard a loud commotion coming from the riverbank ahead. Many people had gathered there. A team of uniformed policemen came over and pushed the crowd in: "Make way, make way! There's nothing to see when there are dead bodies!"

"What a sin this is..."

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, this is not an easy death!"

"I saw Boss Wu yesterday and he was fine. Maybe he came out at night and met a water ghost..."

The crowd dispersed to the outside, talking in low voices, not daring to get closer, all looking terrified.

Asher Gu's arm was pulled. He turned around and saw Chase Rong frowning beside him. His dark eyes stared at the place blocked by the crowd and said, "That's Jinyuxuan."
