Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 244 243 Gu Zhili's Abnormality
Gu Zhili secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her pretty face was cold: "So what? Konate Chen has been convicted, and this matter can't be overturned - and you won't tell anyone, right?"

Gu Zhili took the initiative and argued, "You think you have something on the Duke's wife, but don't you have something on her too?"

Feng Xiuhu asked curiously, "What leverage do I have?"

Gu Zhili sneered: "How on earth did you climb up from Tianya?"

"Oh--"

Feng Xiuhu suddenly understood.

Gu Zhili returned to her serious demeanor. "So everyone has secrets, including you, Feng Xiuhu. And I think your secrets are no smaller than the Duke's wife's."

Feng Xiuhu looked up at her: "What do you mean?"

Gu Zhili stared at him without blinking. "Being able to come back alive from Tianya means you have a special way to save your life. That's already remarkable enough."

"Secondly, Ah Feng and I are both in the Divine Wandering Realm, which the Church calls the Rune Enlightenment stage. And you're just a mere priest, barely even entering the Spiritual Realm. With that little skill, you were able to cast a spell with the snap of a finger, leaving Ah Feng and me completely defenseless—this is outrageous."

She raised her eyes slightly and stared at Feng Xiuhu's expression: "Could it be that an angel from the Mist Church has descended upon you?"

Feng Xiuhu's heart tightened - in some ways, this speculation was very close to the correct answer.

But he said, "What does it mean that an angel has come?"

Gu Zhili replied, "In the words of our temple, it means the spirit has taken over another's body."

Just as the words left her mouth, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'm overthinking it. If the person sitting opposite me was really an angel, you wouldn't have been entangled with the Duke's wife for so long."

Feng Xiuhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the cup on the table and wanted to drink some water to calm his nerves.

But as soon as I picked it up, I smelled alcohol.

"liquor?"

He changed the subject subtly.

Gu Zhili nodded and said, "This is called a nightcap. Drinking one before going to sleep will help you sleep more soundly."

Feng Xiuhu nodded suddenly and picked up the cup to his mouth.

“Don’t drink!!”

There was a loud explosion in his mind, and Feng Xiuhu was almost scared by Shi's sudden roar and threw the wine glass away.

Gu Zhili was looking elsewhere, but after counting a few seconds in her mind, she felt that it was about time, so she slowly raised her eyes and looked at Feng Xiuhu.

Their eyes met, and Gu Zhili's gaze froze.

The glass of wine was still hanging on Feng Xiuhu's lips, unmoved.

Feng Xiuhu slowly put down the cup and looked at it carefully with his eyes lowered.

The wine glass was delicately crafted, with gold and silver inlays on the wall, outlining a gorgeous pattern of a phoenix spreading its wings - the bigger problem was that it looked familiar to Feng Xiuhu.

It seemed to be the "dowry" brought by Gu Zhili.

"Isn't this my cup?"

Feng Xiuhu raised his eyebrows.

Gu Zhili remained calm and said, "It's mine. A nightcap represents the end of the day, so it should be served in a cup worthy of the host's distinguished status. I couldn't find a suitable one in the kitchen, so I used mine."

Feng Xiuhu smiled faintly: "You are quite generous."

Gu Zhili pursed her lips and said nothing.

Feng Xiuhu stood up and lifted her chin, forcing her to look up at him: "Did you drug me?"

Gu Zhili spoke calmly: "No."

Feng Xiuhu gently stroked her temple with his thumb, and his fingertips were wet, which was a drop of cold sweat.

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Feng Xiuhu asked.

Gu Zhili's expression remained calm: "I'm afraid you'll go crazy again."

Feng Xiuhu sneered - this guy is good at making excuses.

He handed the wine glass to Gu Zhili's lips: "You'll know after you drink it whether it's drugged or not." Unexpectedly, Gu Zhili didn't resist at all. She took the glass and drank it in one gulp. Then she turned the glass upside down towards Feng Xiuhu, indicating that not a single drop should be left.

This made Feng Xiuhu less confident.

He looked at Gu Zhili and said, "You...can drink quite well."

Gu Zhili stood up with a cold face: "It's getting late, Master, please have a good rest. I will leave now."

"Hey, don't worry."

Feng Xiuhu pushed her back into the chair, crossed his arms, and said with a smile, "You'd better stay a little longer. Otherwise, how would I know if you're in a hurry to go back and detoxify yourself?"

Gu Zhili replied, "If it gets out that a man and a woman are alone in a room at night, it might damage the master's reputation."

Feng Xiuhu pointed at her and said, "Listen to what you are saying. You still don't consider yourself a true servant. What's wrong with a master having a heart-to-heart with his own maid late at night? Isn't that perfectly normal?"

Gu Zhili bit her lower lip and said, "Then it's up to you."

The two of them sat there staring at each other for a long time.

Feng Xiuhu was waiting so long that his thoughts began to wander.

It was not until Eclipse roared just now that he realized one thing - Eclipse seemed to have not spoken since his "resurrection".

This is not normal.

If I hadn't pushed him into a corner just now, I guess E wouldn't have said a word.

But what caused him to become "mute"?

Feng Xiuhu couldn't wait to enter the spirit world and ask in person, but he had to settle the matter at hand first.

They sat like this until late at night.

During this time, not only Feng Xiuhu, but Gu Zhili also yawned. Both of them were extremely sleepy.

Gu Zhili looked normal and moved without hindrance. There was no sign of poisoning at all.

Right under Feng Xiuhu's nose, Gu Zhili, whose magic power had been sealed, made no move to secretly detoxify herself, which made Feng Xiuhu more and more confused.

But there was no reason for Xi to lie to himself—unless he was mistaken.

After another huge yawn, Gu Zhili's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't help but ask, "How long do you plan to watch this?"

Feng Xiuhu was at his wit's end, but he remained stubborn: "I was just trying to trick you. It seems like you've barely made it so far. Let's go."

Gu Zhili was too lazy to bother him anymore, so she picked up the tray and stormed away.

Return to the room and close the door.

Gu Zhili leaned against the door and gasped for breath.

She was actually not sleepy at all. In order to prevent Feng Xiuhu from seeing her flaws, her nerves were tense every minute and every second.

After calming down a little, Gu Zhili put her ear to the door and listened for a while.

After making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, she quickly went to the bed and knelt down, pulling out a wine jug and another wine glass from under the bed - obviously a complete set with the wine glass just now.

She picked up the wine jug and filled another glass. When she was about to drink it, she suddenly heard a noise outside.

"Open the door! Check the room!"

Feng Xiuhu knocked on the door loudly.

Gu Zhili's face turned pale. Without caring about anything else, she hurriedly covered the wine jug and wine glasses with the quilt, then quickly walked over to open the door.

Feng Xiuhu pushed the door open and came in. He grabbed Gu Zhili's jaw and sniffed closely, but he didn't smell any fresh alcohol.

He nodded reassuringly, his eyes darting around the room.

Gu Zhili gritted her teeth and asked, "What else do you want to do? I need to rest. Otherwise, who will take care of the house tomorrow?"

Feng Xiuhu closed the door, pressed Gu Zhili against the door panel with his backhand, and groped her all over with both hands.

Feng Xiuhu's behavior this time was particularly purposeful, which made Gu Zhili even more panicked and she screamed in desperation.

"Stop! I told you to stop!"

"indecent--"

PS: In just this short period of time, Feng Xiuhu seemed to know something?
