Volume 2-A Lonesome Fragrance Waiting to be Appreciated

Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang Vol02 Ch54 (Extra)

To understand a man, perhaps a whole lifetime was needed.

But some men, perhaps not even a whole lifetime was enough, was what Zuiju though.

Fanlu was that kind of hateful guy. He seemed even more watery than girls, by having no fixed state. If you studied him, sometimes his sharp eyes flashed with kind light. The next moment he'd become vicious, like a demon king who was about to eat humans. After a while, a playful smile would suddenly float out again.

That man was wicked man.

He leisurely held his light crossbow as he cornered Zuiju to an edge. Then, for some weird wacky reason, he snatched her away from the sharp teeth and claws of the wolf pack, saving her.

Although he had saved Zuiju's life, he didn't return her freedom.

"If you want to run, I'll hunt you back like a rabbit." When saying this, an evil smile played on the corners of Fanlu's mouth.

Zuiju had glared fiercely at him, secretly vowing to never let him catch her.

This vow was unfulfilled. For the whole year, she didn't even have the chance to run away.

Fanlu was an expert at imprisoning people. He could always see through Zuiju's long-planned escape plans, chuckling at how easy it was to break her beautiful dream.

"Why?" Zuiju asked, unsatisfied.

"You're not a person of the army. You never learned unarmed combat or how to imprison a captive properly. You haven't learned how to track down enemies in rural places either." Fanlu then answered with another question, "How could you possibly escape from my hands?"

"Why are you imprisoning me? Isn't it better to kill me? I don't want to live anyway."

Fanlu replied with another question, "Do you really not want to live?"

Zuiju was stunned.

When she woke from her coma, thinking about Pingting's situation, she really didn't want to live any longer.

But now?

If her death goes unnoticed, what would her Teacher do?

She could only lower her yells and coldly harrumph, "Whether I want to die or not, it's none of your business is it?"

Fanlu was briefly surprised and coldly harrumphed back, "When I decide my answer to that question, maybe living won't be an option anymore."

With the privileges as the guard of Qierou City, the prison was more ironclad in many ways, yet Zuiju still persevered in finding ways to escape.

Fanlu finally had enough this time. He grabbed onto her wrists, fiercely pushing her into the wall. "You want to return to Dong Lin this much?"

"Who said I wanted to go to Dong Lin."

"Then to the Songsen Mountains?"

"It's none of your business!"

"As expected..." Fanlu held her so that she couldn't move at all, like usual, but the corners of his mouth lifted this time. A deceptive look surfaced on his face. He slowly drawled, "Bai Pingting was on the Songsen Mountains after all."

Zuiju was shocked. She sucked her lips tightly and turned away.

Pingting, if Pingting were still on the Songsen Mountains, then maybe...

"You took the luminous jade hairpin to look for helpers right?" Fanlu forcefully twisted her back by the chin, staring deeply into the wobbling light in her eyes. He studied them for a long time and lowered his voice, "It seems that if Bai Pingting didn't die of cold, then she has died of hunger."
