The Pitiful Girl She Picked Up Turned Out to Be a Cruel and Vicious Beauty Unlucky (Chapter 19)

There's an old saying, among life's greatest joys is eting an old friend in a foreign land.

Although her relationship with Fu Ruo was sowhat complicated, they could still be considered friends. Considering how hastily she'd bid farewell last ti, eting again now made Ye Sheng overjoyed.

However...

Once the excitent started to fade, Ye Sheng imdiately rembered her family's taciturn, vinegar-pot of a lover!

Other people might get jealous and throw so threats around, but Gu Luoyu was the type who'd kill at the slightest provocation. At that thought, Ye Sheng glanced nervously at Gu Luoyu, fearing she'd be standing at the scene of a murder any second now.

The last ti Gu Luoyu spared Fu Ruo's life, Ye Sheng had to sign an unfair contract, agreeing never to initiate physical intimacy, just to suppress the killing intent.

And now?

“Why are you looking at ?”

Sensing Ye Sheng's furtive gaze, Gu Luoyu lowered her head and raised a brow, her beautiful face showing mild confusion. But the cold smirk at the corner of her lips completely revealed her inner thoughts, making Ye Sheng wonder if cold sweat was already dripping down her forehead.

‘I'm dood. Gu Luoyu has already overturned the vinegar jar and is swimming in a sea of jealousy.’

‘And am I a little unlucky? I'm the first to bear the brown!’

(T▽T)

“Nothing... I just thought there was soone ahead, maybe even soone familiar... What a coincidence~”

Ye Sheng spoke casually, her fingers unconsciously scratching the tip of her nose. Although she tried to act oblivious, she knew Gu Luoyu's psychic abilities were too sharp; she probably already detected Fu Ruo's presence.

Trying to deceive Gu Luoyu was impossible. So Ye Sheng chose to confess.

After all, she and Fu Ruo were truly innocent. Back when Fu Ruo pursued her at the base, Ye Sheng had firmly and decisively rejected her, never playing with ambiguity or leading her on.

Besides, Ye Sheng believed those espera who once pursued her were largely drawn by her psychic soothing ability, not by her personally.

So her conscience was clear. She had nothing to fear from an investigation.

She was only worried that Gu Luoyu might kill soone, especially because of her. Ye Sheng couldn't accept that, no matter how much ti passed. It would burden her with unbearable guilt.

Perhaps this was the difference between soone who ca from another world and a native-born person!

Law-abiding was engraved in her bones.

(●, ●)

While Ye Sheng was thinking how to persuade Gu Luoyu not to act, Gu Luoyu calmly watched her space out. After learning of Ye Heiya's predicted future, she naturally wouldn't walk down the wrong path again, she'd actively change it.

The reason she and Ye Sheng had fought was Fu Ruo's death.

So, if she found Fu Ruo now and clarified everything ahead of ti, even if Fu Ruo eventually died in the ocean, it wouldn't be Gu Luoyu's fault.

Of course, Gu Luoyu wasn't so foolish as to stir up trouble. Although she'd considered manipulating soone else's hand to kill, she couldn't risk exposure.

That would damage her relationship with Ye Sheng.

Besides, the ocean, sealed off as a human forbidden zone, was full of dangers. Even though Fu Ruo had been transford beyond human, wandering in deep-sea regions was clearly a bad idea.

She might die at any mont, no need for Gu Luoyu to lift a finger.

So Gu Luoyu didn't react as dramatically as Ye Sheng feared. She didn't just suppress her jealousy, she even retracted her cold smirk. Now, in a neutral expression, she simply pointed in Fu Ruo's direction and said calmly, “It's Fu Ruo. I saw her earlier. Although I don't know how she ended up in the ocean, since we've t again, we should at least say hello.”

“...”

This ti, Ye Sheng ignored everything else and stared blankly at Gu Luoyu, her dark eyes filled with disbelief.

‘Has my Luoyu been possessed?’

Why is she acting so abnormal!!!

Suddenly, Ye Sheng panicked even though nothing was wrong. Her heart pounded wildly, as if it wanted to leap straight out of her throat.

Luckily, Gu Luoyu didn't let her panic last long. She reached out, pinched Ye Sheng's cheek, and turned her face forward, toward Fu Ruo.

At the sa ti, she whispered into Ye Sheng's ear, “She's an old friend, but since Fu Ruo isn't human anymore, you should keep your distance to avoid accidents.”

“Mmhm.”

Seeing that today's Gu Luoyu was unusually reasonable, and not being sarcastic, Ye Sheng quickly nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, almost ready to swear on the heavens!

anwhile, Fu Ruo, who had been hiding in the seawater, finally surfaced, no longer skulking in the shadows.

It was still the familiar face. But compared to their last eting, her golden eyes now seem to hold a bit more rationality, no longer like a clueless child who knew nothing.

Unfortunately, she was only slightly stronger, her mories hadn't returned.

She rely followed instinct, fawning over Ye Sheng, her massive tail slapping the bluish-purple water repeatedly, like a dog eagerly wagging its tail, expressing affection.

As for Gu Luoyu, standing beside Ye Sheng, she was t with hostility. After all, before Ye Sheng arrived, Gu Luoyu had already used her psychic abilities to establish communication with Fu Ruo.

She'd bluntly told Fu Ruo to stay away from Ye Sheng.

If she discovers any improper intentions toward Ye Sheng, she'd tear every scale off Fu Ruo's body, slice her thousands upon thousands of tis with a scalpel, and then show Ye Sheng the grotesque corpse.

Originally, Fu Ruo hadn't cared much about Gu Luoyu's threats, but upon hearing that last sentence, her expression changed drastically. Clearly, she couldn't bear the thought of her ugly state being exposed to the one she liked. So, unwillingly, she nodded in agreent.

Since their last separation, Fu Ruo had clearly experienced many adventures. Her intelligence had now recovered to the level of a child over ten years old, no longer acting purely on animal instinct.

“Ye... gurgle gurgle...”

Overexcited, Fu Ruo rolled in the seawater. But while she'd once managed a few simple words, her language ability seed to have regressed further. Now, only indistinct syllables erge, mixed with more animal-like growls.

Hearing it, Ye Sheng's expression involuntarily turned complex, her heart filled with sighs.

She's changed after all.

She didn't know whether Fu Ruo's current state was good or bad, but being alive was better than being dead. Perhaps losing her mories was a blessing for Fu Ruo, let her live without worries from now on.

Thinking this, Ye Sheng smiled at Fu Ruo and waved her hand, like bidding farewell to the past.

Then, she turned to look at Gu Luoyu, ready to leave this place, only to hear sothing completely unexpected.

“For the upcoming ocean exploration mission, Fu Ruo will likely be coming along.”
