Chapter 578: 280 Complete Domination (two updates)_3

And then—

Splash! Splash! Splash!

He fell into the water three times.

Gu Chengfeng was awkwardly embarrassed.

"Haha!" Gu Jiao burst into laughter.

Her sense of humor was quite peculiar.

She might not find something funny when everyone else was laughing, but sometimes she would laugh like a child over the smallest things.

This was the first time Gu Chengfeng has seen her laugh like this.

"Childish!"

Gu Chengfeng rolled his eyes and sat down on the steps next to her.

Gu Jiao picked up another tile to skip across the water.

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Chengfeng asked, "Why didn’t you come looking for me?"

Gu Jiao responded with a strange question, "Why should I look for you?"

Gu Chengfeng grumbled, "Aren’t you just fond of exploiting me? Such a dangerous thing happened, why didn’t I see you taking advantage of me?"

Gu Chengfeng’s remarks were made in a nonchalant manner, but after he finished, he abruptly fell silent.

Because it was too dangerous, she didn’t involve him? Did this girl have a bit of conscience?

Gu Jiao sighed, "Ahh, you’re too useless, I was afraid you would only be a hindrance."

Gu Chengfeng: "...!!"

So why was he almost touched? This was clearly a heartless girl!

Also, how dare she call him useless? If it weren’t for him just now, she would already have been shot into a sieve!

Gu Jiao continued to skip stones across the water. Gu Chengfeng could tell she was in a good mood—likely accomplished whatever she wanted to do. He just wondered what she did to that guy.

As Gu Chengfeng pondered, Gu Jiao suddenly threw a silken pouch into the river. She threw it too quickly for him to see what it was, but from the sound of it landing, there seemed to be something inside.

"What’s that?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

"You wouldn’t want to know," Gu Jiao replied.

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

However, they miscalculated one thing—that Fei Shuang knew Gu Yan and wouldn’t spread the affair between Tang Ming and Gu Yan.

"Gu Yan...is he alright?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

Gu Jiao paused before replying, "He’s fine, just a bit shocked."

"Hey, girl." Gu Chengfeng thought of something and asked again, "Who really are you? Where are you from?"

He certainly didn’t believe she was that foolish girl lost among the common people.

"Me, huh," Gu Jiao played with the tile in her hand, unusually not evading the topic. Pointing at the distant horizon, she said, "I come from over there."

"There? Where?" Gu Chengfeng looked in the direction where she pointed, and all he saw was the vast starry sky.

Gu Jiao looked at the starry sky, "A very very distant place, across time and space, possibly even across universes."

She had never revealed this to anyone. No one would believe her, and no one would understand.

Gu Chengfeng also didn’t understand, but he believed her.

Gu Chengfeng then asked, "How did you come here?"

Gu Jiao held the tile in her hand, no longer skipping it across the water. Instead, she lay back on the verdant grass, resting her other hand under her head, "I’d like to know how I got here too."

She had pondered over this question more than once. Her arrival—was it theology or science? Was it a soul-crossing, or did the first-aid kit from an advanced civilization tear through space-time, bringing her brainwaves here?
