However, Ling Shuanghua admired Ding Dian's loyalty and righteousness, and after hearing Gu Hanyuan's words, she knew that he would definitely not agree.
She forced back her grief and said:
"Wutian, there's no need to say anything. Just let Brother Ding go, and I'll agree to your request."
Gu Hanyuan showed no smug satisfaction at having achieved his goal. Instead, he said to Ding Dian with disdain:
"You are still holding Miss Ling back for your own sense of righteousness. Since she is not the most important thing in your heart, don't talk about love. The so-called marriage on the road to the underworld is just your self-satisfaction. Ding Dian, you are too arrogant. I despise you."
Ding Dian looked pained, but he couldn't refute it.
Hearing the commotion, Ling Tuisi arrived with his men. Upon seeing Ding Dian lying on the ground, his eyes flickered, and he ordered his men to take him away.
Ling Shuanghua was relieved when she saw Ding Dian being taken away, at least he wouldn't die here.
But when she saw Gu Hanyuan close the door, she became nervous again, her hands clenching and twisting her sleeves.
Seeing that Gu Hanyuan did not pounce on her, Ling Shuanghua sat down on a stool in the room, poured herself a cup, opened the lower half of her mask, and slowly sipped her drink.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she became somewhat curious about this person.
Looking at the half of Gu Hanyuan's face visible beneath his mask, she was surprised to discover that he must be quite young.
Despite her young age, her martial arts skills were ridiculously high. Although she didn't quite understand what constituted high-level martial arts, the ability to casually unleash sword energy was something that ordinary people couldn't do.
Gu Hanyuan broke the silence first, taking out a pure white pill and handing it to Ling Shuanghua.
"Eat it."
Seeing Ling Shuanghua's hesitant expression, he added:
"Do I need to threaten you again?"
Ling Shuanghua's face turned ugly upon hearing this, but she still obediently accepted the pill and swallowed it.
"What did you give me to eat?"
A playful smile appeared on Gu Hanyuan's lips beneath the mask.
"Aphrodisiac."
The simple four words startled Ling Shuanghua so much that her expression changed drastically, and she subconsciously crossed her arms to protect herself.
"I lied to you."
Gu Hanyuan chuckled and tapped the table.
"Sit down and chat with me."
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Shuanghua sat down, temporarily burying her worries about consuming the unknown pill in her heart.
Fortunately, chatting is better than actually doing something.
"What to talk about?"
"Let's chat about anything. Or whatever you want to ask."
Gu Hanyuan swirled his glass, speaking in a completely nonchalant tone.
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ling Shuanghua had no choice but to change the subject.
"Why did you ask Brother Ding to agree to those three conditions?"
"It was just a test. In reality, even if Ding Dian agreed, I wouldn't want it. With my martial arts skills, do you think I need a manual that would severely injure someone after they practiced it?"
Ling Shuanghua thought for a moment and then shook her head. It wasn't something that was hard to understand.
"I have already cracked the secret of the 'Liancheng Jue' treasure, so what's the point of hearing it again? As for Di Yun in prison, he is still of some use to me. Even if Ding Dian agrees, I will not let him kill him."
"If that's the case, why do you still want Brother Ding to agree to your request?"
Ling Shuanghua was puzzled.
"I want an answer."
"Answer?"
"As I said before, Ding Dian is just arrogant, and I look down on him."
Ling Shuanghua's face was grim.
"Just to confirm Brother Ding's arrogance?"
"Because I feel deeply resentful."
Gu Hanyuan stared at Ling Shuanghua as he said this.
He did look down on Ding Dian, but he greatly admired Ling Shuanghua and didn't want her to end up being buried alive.
Ling Shuanghua blushed under his gaze, for the admiration in his eyes was still clearly visible.
However, she could not understand Gu Hanyuan's "unresolved feelings".
Ling Shuanghua's eyes flickered for a moment before she asked:
"You like me, Jie?"
"Correct."
Gu Hanyuan replied without hesitation.
"Then why are you still unmoved even after I've already agreed? Is it because you're afraid to see my face?"
As she spoke, Ling Shuanghua removed her veil.
Gu Hanyuan looked at her, a subtle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Turn your head and look at the mirror over there."
Ling Shuanghua subconsciously did as Gu Hanyuan said.
The next instant, tears welled up in Ling Shuanghua's eyes, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
Chapter 82: Successfully got something for free, next time is definitely on the horizon.
The person in the mirror was stunningly beautiful, with a refined and elegant appearance, and smooth, flawless skin.
"How is this going?"
Ling Shuanghua subconsciously touched her face, rubbing the original scars, but couldn't find a single uneven spot, as if she had never been disfigured.
No beautiful woman doesn't value her appearance as her life, so Ling Shuanghua's act of disfiguring herself to demonstrate her resolve is admirable, because she had ruined her own life.
When Ling Shuanghua saw that her appearance had been restored, she was in a daze and feared that she was actually dreaming.
"That pill?"
Ling Shuanghua suddenly remembered the pills that Gu Hanyuan had given her.
"The Rejuvenation Pill can restore one's appearance regardless of the type of injury."
Gu Hanyuan smiled as he looked at Ling Shuanghua, whose appearance had been restored.
It definitely looks better this way.
Ling Shuanghua's eyes were filled with complex emotions. For her, being disfigured was like dying once, and now that her appearance had been restored, it was like coming back to life. Moreover, such a miraculous pill must be extremely precious, and there might only be one in the whole world.
In effect, it was produced exclusively by Gu Hanyuan.
Ling Shuanghua was naturally happy, but she was also suddenly worried because this meant she would have no reason to stop Gu Hanyuan from harming her.
"Afraid that I'll take action against you?"
Gu Hanyuan still had the mood to tease Ling Shuanghua.
"Won't you attack me?"
After experiencing the ups and downs of her emotions throughout the night, Ling Shuanghua has come to take many things less seriously.
"I restored your appearance not so that you could leave it to Ding Dian."
Gu Hanyuan spoke frankly.
"Then I will return your appearance to you."
Ling Shuanghua had the idea of disfiguring herself again, even though it was difficult to do. Few people could resist the joy of regaining what they had lost.
"You can try."
Gu Hanyuan still wore that playful smile, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts.
Ling Shuanghua fell silent, because she knew it was pointless.
Since Gu Hanyuan can produce one Rejuvenation Pill, there's a possibility he can produce another.
Moreover, Gu Hanyuan's words also carried a threat; it wasn't just her life that was threatened, but also her appearance.
"I see."
Ling Shuanghua closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and finally gave in.
. . . . . .
the next day.
After opening her eyes, Ling Shuanghua looked at Gu Hanyuan, who was holding her beside her.
