Chapter 377: Chapter 377 No Joking

"Alright, then it’s a deal!"

Zhu Fei clasped his fist towards Gu Cangyue and was about to leave with Gu Youlan.

He needed to go back and prepare, and there were some things he also needed to ask Gu Youlan.

After all, if Zhu Fei wanted to win this bet, the key lay in whether he could slay the Black Crow Daoist.

It could be said that the bet Gu Cangyue presented to Zhu Fei was bound to be a losing one if he had no trump cards to play.

However, before Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan could take a few steps, Gu Cangyue once again stopped them.

Gu Cangyue asked indifferently, "Zhu Fei, since it is a bet, there must be a deadline. I just want to ask you, how much time do you think you need?"

Upon hearing Gu Cangyue’s question, Zhu Fei remembered the news he had heard when he first entered the Treasure Pavilion.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Fei finally responded to Gu Cangyue,

"When I first came here, I heard from people of the Three Great Sects that the Black Crow Daoist would attack the Pavilion’s array again in three days. Since one day has already passed, I will resolve this matter within the next two days."

With that, Zhu Fei no longer stayed and left the hall with Gu Youlan, leaving Gu Cangyue and the others looking at each other in dismay.

They were all shocked by the news Zhu Fei had just revealed.

After a short while, Gu Cangyuan broke the silence, his face showing worry as he said to Gu Cangyue,

"Big brother, if what Zhu Fei just said is true, then we really have to prepare ourselves. Otherwise, once the array breaks, we will be facing very severe consequences."

Pausing for a moment, Gu Cangyuan added, "And about Zhu Fei, I think he’s actually not bad. Wasn’t what you did to him earlier a bit too much?"

Gu Cangyue waved his hand dismissively and said coldly, "There’s no question of too much. Since he could make You Lan willing to exhaust her ’essence’ blood to save him, that means his relationship with You Lan is not simple."

"You all know You Lan’s situation. If she wants to replace Xiahou Sheng’s position, then Zhu Fei must demonstrate enough potential, or else I will not entrust You Lan to him."

With a sigh and a helpless shake of his head, Gu Cangyue said, "Our strength is still too weak. Now even an elder from a second-tier sect dares to come here and snatch You Lan, alas..."

Gu Cangyue’s words rendered everyone present silent.

...

"Zhu Fei, you really shouldn’t have come to me this time."

After reaching Zhu Fei’s room, Gu Youlan gazed at him with a complicated tone.

"Hehe, Sister Lan, since it has already happened, there’s no need to talk about that anymore, right?"

Zhu Fei understood the meaning behind Gu Youlan’s words and responded with a light smile.

The two exchanged a glance, saying nothing more, but a unique understanding began to grow between them.

Shortly after, Gu Youlan was the first to break the silence.

She first took off the storage magic belt she wore and placed it before Zhu Fei, smiling as she spoke,

"Zhu Fei, this is for you. Although I don’t know what methods you have to deal with the Black Crow Daoist, you must promise me that no matter what, you won’t let yourself fall into absolute peril, alright?"

Zhu Fei nodded solemnly in response.

Facing the items Gu Youlan had given him now, Zhu Fei did not rush to refuse.

For he was acutely aware that if he wished to slay a Golden Core Demon Cultivator based on his current condition alone, it would undoubtedly be an exceedingly difficult task.

What was most critical was that the Blue Treasure Sword he had always used was no longer in his possession.

If he were to go face the Black Crow Daoist in a duel now, even with his trump card, the golden Dao Pattern, the outcome would likely be more bad luck than good.

However, now, if he could have the items that Gu Youlan had given him, the situation would be quite different.

He could rely on the numerous materials within the storage Magic Artifact to craft a large array of Array Flags and Array Plates.

Even more crucially, Zhu Fei had also seen nearly tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in Gu Youlan’s storage Magic Artifact.

With so many Spirit Stones, Zhu Fei would have no difficulty breaking through to the Foundation Establishment First Level should he be able to craft Foundation Establishment Pills; his cultivation was not likely to be a challenge anymore.

And once his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his odds of slaying the Black Crow Daoist with the assistance of Arrays and the golden Dao Pattern as his ace would skyrocket.

"Hehe, alright then, you go ahead with your tasks, I won’t disturb you anymore."

At this moment, Gu Youlan had already stood up. She smiled sweetly at Zhu Fei, nodding her head before she turned to leave.

She knew that she was of no real help here, and rather than staying and distracting Zhu Fei, it was better for her to simply leave and let him handle everything.

If he managed to kill the Black Crow Daoist, all was well, but if he failed, or even perished, Gu Youlan had already decided that she would self-detonate her Fire Seed and perish together with the Black Crow Daoist.

"Sister Lan..."

Just as Gu Youlan was at the door, about to open it, Zhu Fei suddenly called out to her.

Gu Youlan turned around with a smile, looking at Zhu Fei and asking, "What’s the matter? Does my little boyfriend have any other orders?"

Hearing Gu Youlan refer to him as her little boyfriend, Zhu Fei’s face involuntarily stiffened, and he was speechless inside.

However, he eventually said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Sister Lan, about what happened before, I’m sorry, I hope you don’t take it to heart."

"Hehe, what? Do you really think I was joking with you before?"

Gu Youlan’s lips curved into a mischievous smile as she looked at Zhu Fei.

"Alright, don’t think too much about what happened before, I wasn’t joking with you. Since I said I wanted you to be my boyfriend, I mean for you to be my boyfriend. Can we just leave it at that for now?"

With those words, Gu Youlan didn’t wait for Zhu Fei to reply, she simply smiled and opened the door, waving her hand behind her casually, and then stepped out.

Watching Gu Youlan leave, Zhu Fei’s feelings were a mix of amusement and disbelief.

Truth be told, he had still not understood Gu Youlan’s true intentions, and as for the boyfriend and girlfriend talk, he did not know whether Gu Youlan was serious or just playing a game.

But whether that matter was true or not, Zhu Fei did not wish to ponder it any further now.

His urgent priority was to expedite his own cultivation to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm first.

Thinking this, Zhu Fei had already taken out the Pill Furnace, Thousand Blue Butterfly, and many supporting herbs from the storage Magic Artifact.

The next moment, he had already thrown those herbs directly into the Pill Furnace.
