Suddenly, the unexpected chaos distracted her. She turned to head upstairs, but her vision abruptly darkened.
A surge of immense pain surged towards her chest, making it nearly impossible for her to breathe.
Her body swayed in place, but she managed to steady herself.
Just before returning home, she had received a job to tame a vengeful spirit. Due to lack of time, she sealed it in an amulet around her neck, using her own spiritual power as a seal.
Her momentary distraction had given the vengeful spirit a chance. It had escaped from the amulet, attacking her and attempting to possess her body.
Lu Miao forcefully calmed her mind, quickly mobilizing her spiritual power within her body to chase and intercept the vengeful spirit.
However, the vengeful spirit was cunning, persistently lingering near her heart and launching attacks intermittently. If she let her guard down for a moment, it could take advantage of her and succeed in ambushing her.
She could only allocate most of her spiritual power to protect herself.
Meanwhile, Gu Shiyan suddenly clutched his chest beside her.
Seeing Lu Miao’s pained expression as she held her chest, he hesitated for a moment. A thought flashed through his mind in an instant.
Without dwelling on it further, he quickly stepped forward and reached out to support her.
The rich purple qi on his body instantly surged towards Lu Miao through his hand.
In that instant, Lu Miao’s spiritual power trembled greatly. Utilizing this influx of spiritual energy, she swiftly strangled the vengeful spirit to death. The pain in her chest finally began to dissipate. Lu Miao opened her eyes and exhaled deeply.
Although Lu Miao was a skilled physician herself, Gu Shiyan was still anxious. He asked, “Are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?”
“No need, I’m fine. You can go,” Lu Miao shook her head. She noticed that Gu Shiyan was gripping her wrist tightly, and she frowned, trying to free her hand.
However, Gu Shiyan held onto her hand, his gaze fixed on her. ‘Why did I feel pain in my chest when you felt pain in yours just now?”
Lu Miao hesitated for a moment. “It might be a coincidence.”
“Alright, then let me ask you. How did you save me when I nearly died at the Gu family’s residence that time?” Gu Shiyan pressed on.
Rarely did Lu Miao feel annoyed by his questioning. “I used regular methods. It’s not something you’d understand. Let go. I’m tired and want to rest in my room.”
The shared existence spell was extremely dangerous. After she went back that day, she had asked herself many times why she was willing to take risks for Gu Shiyan. Even she could not understand it.
“You’re lying. When I was at the gates of hell that day, I heard your voice, felt your hand holding mine, and the vigorous vitality that surged into me from your hand.”Gu Shiyan looked at her.
Lu Miao’s hand tightened.” Spells are all like this.’”‘
“After I woke up that time, my eyes gained a mysterious ability. I began to see those strange things. When I was ambushed by Su Youchen overseas and was in danger, you immediately called me. The purple qi in my body will only flow towards you.lf your chest hurts, mine will hurt too. If your pain disappears, so will mine. Are these all coincidences?”
Gu Shiyan did not have any intention of letting her go. He looked into her eyes and asked directly, “Did you use some spell to share your life force with me?”” He had wondered about this before. It was only when he felt the same pain as Lu Miao that he suddenly thought of this possibility.
“No.” Lu Miao quickly denied.
It was as if as long as she denied all of this, she could deny that she cared about Gu Shiyan differently.
However, Gu Shiyan smiled.”The faster you deny it, the more it proves that I guessed correctly. You took the risk to share his life force with me, worried that I would be sad when my big brother was in trouble and brought me to the ghost market to make me happy. Miaomiao, you like me.”
If she didn’t like it, why would she be willing to share her life with others?
If she didn’t like him, with her cold personality, she wouldn’t care if he was happy or sad, let alone coax him in the middle of the night.
His words directly broke through all of Lu Miao’s self-deception, exposing her heart that was hidden in the deepest part of her heart that she did not even notice to the public. There was nowhere to hide.
Lu Miao lowered her eyes slightly.” You’re thinking too much. Since I’ve accepted your money, I naturally have to save you no matter the price. As for bringing you to the ghost market, it’s just that I want to make use the purple qi in your body.”
Her words were equivalent to admitting his guess.
The smile in Gu Shiyan’s eyes deepened. He explained slowly, “Wanwan is my cousin. She’s going to hold a wedding at the end of the month. It was my mother who insisted on throwing her to me and asked me to keep an eye on her. I went to the bar with her today because she went crazy and wanted to hold a wedding in a bar.”
His slightly cold fingertips brushed across her cheek. He bent down in front of her and looked into her eyes.” Making use of me once is still using, and making use twice is also using. Miaomiao, can you use me for a lifetime?”
He was so gentle and affectionate that Lu Miao did not dare to look up at him.
She pressed her lips together. “I’m not Lu Miao. I’m just a soul from another world who inexplicably came here and ended up in her body.”
“It’s almost what I guessed,” Gu Shiyan responded without any surprise.
He had investigated Lu Miao’s background extensively ever since she entered the Gu family.
No matter how much he looked into it, she was just an academically challenged student, worlds apart from the genius beside him.
He had even suspected if someone had replaced Lu Miao to infiltrate Los Angeles for some purpose.
While Lu Miao’s explanation sounded ridiculous and unscientific at first, her daily activities involving exorcism and rituals were themselves unscientific in nature.
Upon careful consideration, this seemed to be the most plausible explanation. Lu Miao said, “I might return to my own world at any time.”
“Then that’s perfect. Our lives are connected now. If you go back, I’ll go with you. I won’t have to worry about you being alone anymore,” Gu Shiyan said with a smile.
With so many people in the Gu family and his older brother’s return, along with the addition of Aluo, he wouldn’t have to worry about them. On the other hand, despite Lu Miao’s capabilities, she had never known how to take care of herself.
While the world is full of selfish people pursuing their own interests, Gu Shiyan always stood by her side, considering her well-being, silently caring for her, and treating her well without conditions.
In this world, except for her master, no one had ever treated her like this. Even her biological parents had heartlessly abandoned her.
Lifting her gaze to Gu Shiyan, she asked, “With so many people around, why me? Just because I saved you with my magic?”
Gu Shiyan chuckled. “Liking is just liking. There’s no reason. Even if I have only one day left to live, I’ll still like you. It doesn’t matter who you are or what abilities you possess. Whether you could save me or not doesn’t matter.”
Gu Shiyan’s straightforward words made Lu Miao’s cheeks uncontrollably flush. “Got it, let go.”
“Promise?” Gu Shiyan’s eyes held a gentle smile, his deep affection not hiding in the least.
Lu Miao’s heart raced irregularly in her chest, and her ears turned crimson.
“Not promising.”
She quickly pulled her hand free and turned to head upstairs.
Gu Shiyan chuckled lightly, stretching out his arm and gathering her into his embrace. “Little trickster.”
In this world, there were many outstanding and beautiful people, perhaps like a sky full of stars. However, in his eyes, only she shone brightly.
Amidst the myriad of stars, you are the one that shines a thousand times
brighter!
