Chapter 117: Awakening

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Yunbao opened her eyes again, there was no longer the innocence of a child in them. Instead, there was a gaze that had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

She drew a talisman in the air with her left hand and slowly raised her right hand to point at Gu Yu, who had fainted at the side. Surprisingly, the wound on Gu Yu’s back quickly healed.

Yunbao gently pushed the talisman she had drawn with her left hand towards the entrance of the cave. A layer of frost appeared wherever the talisman passed. Not long after, the flames at the entrance of the cave were extinguished, leaving only a huge rock blocking the entrance.

Yunbao raised her left hand again and slapped the huge rock. The huge rock split into two. Although the huge rock was still blocking the entrance, the gap in the middle was enough for a person to pass.

Yunbao looked at the darkening sky outside and decided to spend the night in the cave. She would make plans tomorrow morning. She found a place to sit beside Gu Yu and kept recalling the memories that came from nowhere.

In the memory, Mao Feng was still a handsome boy. At that time, he and Gu Teng were from the same sect and had studied under Song Yun. This was originally a beautiful love story between a senior brother and junior sister.

However, no matter how much the Gu family doted on their daughter, they would not agree to Mao Feng and Gu Teng’s marriage.

Gu Teng had no choice but to leave home. Mao Feng had once promised to save up enough betrothal gifts and marry Gu Teng in a grand manner. Such a life was quite beautiful.

The two of them relied on the skills they had learned from Song Yun to help others resolve the small troubles they encountered in their lives. For example, they would chase away evil spirits or exorcise the deceased.

However, as time passed, Mao Feng’s desire grew. He was no longer satisfied with the small amount of money he earned every time he helped others solve trouble. He wanted to earn big money, power, and status. He wanted everyone to look up to him.

Therefore, Mao Feng began to practice the forbidden books of his sect. Those forbidden techniques were stolen from Song Yun when she was not around.

Ever since he started cultivating forbidden techniques, Mao Feng’s business had been getting better and better. Other than people asking him for help to resolve trouble, there were also people asking him for help to change luck and earn money. Although changing luck was a heaven-defying act, who could refuse benefits?

Mao Feng watched as his assets increased and his status increased. Anyone who saw him had to say hello to Master Mao Feng, which satisfied his vanity. However, one time, he was discovered by Gu Teng while using a forbidden technique. Gu Teng gradually realized that the man in front ot her was no longer the innocent and kind Eldest Senior Brother she used to like, so she left a letter and secretly left.

However, Gu Teng knew the ridiculous things she had done back then and did not know if her family had forgiven her. Therefore, she decided not to go home for the time being and take a good look at the scenery. After all, she had been too well protected by her family and Mao Feng and had never traveled.

Sometimes, she was envious of those who could go wherever they wanted.

Now that she was free, she could have some fun.

It was also this time that Gu Teng met Yunbao’s father, Xiao Jing.

Gu Teng and Xiao Jing fell in love at first sight. Moreover, their hobbies were the same. After many interactions, Gu Teng and Xiao Jing developed feelings for each other.

At that time, Xiao Jing had yet to inherit the Xiao family’s business, so Gu Teng only thought that Xiao Jing was an ordinary person. Gu Teng did not want her true identity to scare Xiao Jing, so she hid her true identity. Xiao Jing had the same idea too.

The two of them secretly registered their marriage and had a good time together. It was also during that period of time that Gu Teng had Yunbao. However, Mao Feng found them. That day, Gu Teng was cleaning up the house while Xiao Jing went out to buy Gu Teng’s favorite plums.

Knock, knock, knock! Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Teng shook her head helplessly and stood up to open the door. “You forgot to bring the key again. Are you sure you’re okay?!”

When she opened the door and saw the person in front of her, Gu Teng was shocked. She wanted to lock that person outside, but that person moved quickly and actually pulled the door open.

Former lovers meeting again never ended well. Mao Feng felt that Gu Teng had betrayed him and was very angry. He wanted to take Gu Teng away, but Gu Teng was unwilling..
